Okay, THIS is weird as all hell…

SO: in the course of going through my contacts for numbers to send to an old friend whose phone got busted up and thereby he lost all his contacts, his photos, music, downloaded files—basically, everydamned thing—I ran across a number for one Matt Walsh who, yes, appears to be THAT Matt Walsh. No idea when, how, or even WHY I got Matt’s digits in the first place, it just shocked the ever-loving shit outta me. So naturally I called him up and explained who I was and what the call was all about, whereupon he said he was in the middle of something just then and would call me back as quick as he possibly could.

Now, I used to know Ben Shapiro fairly well, corresponded with him on the regular before he became Ben Fucking Shapiro, even helped him get his first blog up and running back when dinosaurs ruled the Earth. There are quite a few other OG warbloggers I used to count as good friends, some of whom I’ve actually met and hung out with IRL. But for the life of me I don’t remember Walsh being among ‘em, I solemnly swear I don’t.

Ah well, just thought it was a pretty cool story to share with y’all. Hopefully this Mystery Dood will get back to me soon, and if it really is THE Matt Walsh he can set me straight on all this craziness.

Update! Yep, it’s the real Matt Walsh alright. What a crazy world, huh?

Updated update! No wait, I don’t think it is the same one after all.

In the midst of fascist darkness, the lamp of liberty remains lit

An enheartening FauxVid reminiscence.

In the summer of 2020, when the entire nation seemed to have gone mad with fear of the COVID virus, some Long Island retailers gave only lip service to the draconian lockdowns, masking dictates, and “social distancing” requirements. They published the “rules,” but put little or no effort into imposing them on their customers. Those were the ones I patronized. Yet it was all too obvious that most Long Islanders had been cowed by the bellowings from Fauci and the politicians who saw in his pronouncements an opportunity to increase their power over us.

Masking was ubiquitous. People avoided coming close to one another. The floors of supermarkets were festooned with markings about social distancing. Some put up signs making the aisles into “one-way streets.” It was beyond depressing.

But I do remember one bright spot. It occurred in a Walgreen’s pharmacy / general store. I was there to collect a prescription: blood pressure medications. On my way to the pharmacist’s counter I spied a young woman accompanied by three small children. The young woman was shopping as casually as anyone I’d ever seen. Her kids followed her quietly, exhibiting perfect public behavior rarely seen in toddlers today. And none of the four were masked.

The young woman smiled when she noticed me looking at her and her children, for I was unmasked as well. We greeted one another and exchanged some small talk as the children clustered around us. Her English was excellent. It developed that she was a widow, a recent immigrant from Eastern Europe who’d just been granted resident alien status.

Of course the conversation eventually came to the pandemic and the lockdowns. I complimented her on not giving in to the fear campaign. It made her eyes brighten. She smiled and nodded.

“They did this sort of thing to us in my native country,” she said. “Arbitrary rules, pulled out of the air. There wasn’t even an excuse for it, much of the time.”

“It gladdened me to see another person who won’t bend to the madness,” I said.

Her smile acquired a tinge of pride. “I didn’t come here to put up with more of that nonsense,” she said. “I came here to be an American.”

It kept a smile on my face the whole day.

As well it should’ve, Francis. These days people like her are much more truly American than all too many who were born and raised here, alas.

Here legally too, no less—a rarity indeed. Refreshing all the way around, I’d say.

Winding the Horn of Jericho

The shitlib retaining walls are cracking, creaking, and crumbling. It’s a joy and a wonder to behold.

This is why we’re so divided
The publishing industry isn’t exactly one that donated a lot of money to Donald Trump. They lean incredibly leftist and it colors just about everything they do. It’s part of why so much fiction today is absolute crap.

Admittedly, there’s enough blame to go around on that point, but it doesn’t help.

Yet the results of the election earlier this month make it pretty clear that most of the nation supported Donald Trump despite years of people like the publishing industry trying to shut down the man.

Hachette Book Group, though, seems to have understood what was going on. They announced a new imprint that would focus on conservative writers called Basic Liberty.

And, of course, the usual suspects are losing their minds.

But HBG has an opportunity here. If all these folks are leaving because the company is no longer kowtowing to the most obsessive and oppressive people on the planet, then they can hire people who understand that people from all walks of life actually read..or at least would if anything was appealing to them in the bookstore.

Since there are apparently openings, fill them with people who don’t see their jobs as the opportunity to advance their politics but as an opportunity to advance the joy of reading and sharing knowledge with the entire world.

In the meantime, I have no sympathy for these people.

These are the same people who have hounded literally anyone who dares disagree with them on anything for years.

They should get used to disappointment.

In the process, though, we should remember that people like this are why we’re so divided as a nation. While the right can’t help but see what the left thinks via their virtual monopoly on things like book publishing, as well as other aspects of the information and entertainment media, they haven’t a clue what anyone on this side of the fence thinks.

What’s happening at HBG is just a microcosm of what we’ve seen elsewhere. The primary difference is that these folks don’t have the power they think they do, apparently, which is just going to make them worse.

Disagree, if only slightly. Particularly when it comes to cultural institutions such as the entertainment/media/creative arts megalith, the Goosesteppin’ Left has practically ALL the power, and despite the recent spastic orgy of frothing hysteria, lip-quivering, head-shaving, juvenile hissy fit-pitching, and public dementia, they still do.

No, the primary difference is that now, for the first time in at least six (6) decades if not longer, Real Americans have at long last r’ared up on their hind legs, wheeled on their tormenters, snarling and with fangs bared, and begun to fight back against the rotten bastards—and lo, they have learned 1) that they are in fact strong, much stronger than they knew; 2) that by fighting back they can in fact prevail; 3) that, provided We The People set our hearts, our minds, our spirits, and our bodies to it, the Dismal Tide in fact CAN be turned; and 4) that making worthless, contemptible shitlib brats weep and wail like little Suzie Schoolgirl after she’s fallen into a mudhole wearing her newest, prettiest dress is in fact an extraordinarily easy thing to do. Supremely gratifying too, as an added bonus.

In defiance of all odds, appearances, and expectations, #4 very well may wind up being the most important, the most appurtenant, and the most effectual in both tactical AND strategic terms of them all. Whither, then, the visionary so gifted, so prodigiously farsighted, as to permit him to foretell such an unlikely turn of events: that, after numberless years spent placidly accepting that the metaphorical Brass Ring was and would forever remain well beyond the Real American grasp—an immutable Fact Of Life, in essence—the bleedin’ thing might in actuality turn out to be no more difficult to lay hands on than the TeeWee remote control device lying atop the cheap, ugly, bandy-legged old Rooms 2 Go coffee table a mere hand’s breadth distant from his slipper-shod feet, eh?

And so we arrive yet again at the inescapable conclusion: If you fight them, you may win. Then again, you may NOT. There is but one certainty, which affords no comfort whatever, cold or otherwise. To wit: If for whatever reason you DON’T fight them, you must surely LOSE. As has been said many times, in many places: the Goosesteppin’ Left is like the Terminator; you can’t reason with him, negotiate with him, or bargain with him. He’ll never compromise; he can’t be injured, he doesn’t bleed, bruise, or feel pain. He never tires, never sleeps, never takes a break. He is relentless, he is ruthless, he will never show mercy or regret. He just keeps right on coming at you, again and again and again, until one of you is DEAD.

OBLIGATORY MEA CULPA: No, the above passage is not an exact word-for-word excerpt of dialogue culled from the Terminator script, nor did I intend for it to be taken as such. Rather, it’s a from-memory approximation, with a few ad-lib embellishments of my own thrown in for spice.

But still. If it doesn’t sound familiar to you at this late date, then either you 1) are an imbecilic REE-tardt, B) a shitlib your own damned self (BIRM), or IV) simply haven’t been paying attention. In any event, there’s probably no hope for you; as such, all sane, aware, and even nominally-sentient beings should shun yore pig-ign’ant ass like a fucking Plague rat.

Publick Notice

This being not only Thanksgiving but the last week in November to boot, it’s high time for me to get cracking on the annual Yuletide visitation from dear old Scrooge Picard, methinks. If things go a bit wonky for ya here and there, Dear Readers, now you know the reason for it. No, Ye Aulde Blogge Hoste is NOT drunk, stoned, or stark raving mad, I take my oath. Not anymoreso than usual, at any rate.

Update! Well, that certainly went much quicker and easier than it usually does. The Donorbox header-bg and button color I ain’t gonna fiddle with, clash violently with our holiday color scheme though that innocuous middlin’ blue admittedly does. To be perfectly honest, I’ve been considering just dumping the DB subscription contraption altogether anyhoo; the entire time it’s been up only one (1) person has ever made use of it, and after the poor schlub’s first payment processed without incident the follow-on monthly installments all kicked back as NFS. Finally, DB sent me an email advising me that fuck it, they were giving the annoying goat-rope up as a bad job. All in all, it seems to me the big, clunky thing is basically just taking up sidebar space which I require for other purposes, as Bertie Wooster used to say.

As regards the annual CF Christmas makeover, hopefully I didn’t forget something, leave something out, overlook something, break something inadvertently, etc etc. We shall see, I suppose.

Updated update! Overbearing Donorbox doohickey now duly dumped, as threatened. Tidies all that superfluous sidebar clutter up very handsomely, if I do say so myself. Which, y’know, I do. Establishes a nice, relaxing holiday mood around this h’yar dump, too. Festive, but not raucous, rowdy. or loud; friendly, without being overly insistent or aggressive. Soothing but never dull; laid back but never complacent; casual but never sloppy or slovenly. We could all use a little more of that sort of thing, I figger.

Grauniad EXPOSED

John Nolte rips the lid off.

Nolte: The *Real* Reason the Far-Left Guardian Quit Xwitter
The Guardian claims it has 80 Xwitter accounts with about 27 million followers and its stated reasons for exiting are exactly what you would expect from the Frank Burns Left — dishonest, smug, superior, scolding…

I’ll allow the Guardian to have its full say, and then I’ll tell you the real reason why the Guardian is fleeing the arena:

The Guardian said content on the platform about which it had longstanding concerns included far-right conspiracy theories and racism. It added that the site’s coverage of the US presidential election had crystallised its decision.

“This is something we have been considering for a while given the often disturbing content promoted or found on the platform, including far-right conspiracy theories and racism,” it said.

It added: “The US presidential election campaign served only to underline what we have considered for a long time: that X is a toxic media platform and that its owner, Elon Musk, has been able to use its influence to shape political discourse.”

Yeah, no…

Take a moment to read the replies in the Guardian’s xweets. Sure, you might find some “toxicity” in there, but read the overall replies in these – three – xweets and you will see the real reason for the Guardian forfeiting its voice in the public square. If you think I’m cherry-picking xweets to make my point, choose any Guardian xweet and read the replies.

No, better yet, read the replies found in any high-profile, left-wing Xwitter account. Go to Rob Reiner, Stephen King, Jake Tapper, Elizabeth Warren, Joy Reid, the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Atlantic, NPR, etc., and you will see for yourself what I’m about to point out…

They.

Are.

Losing.

The.

Debate.

And.

They.

Can’t.

Stand.

It.

Heh. Appears so, yeah. Fuggin’ little crybaby queefs. Nice to learn we’ve settled on “Xwitter” and “Xweets” though, finally. I’ve been pretty much at sea on that minor quandary up till now, it was getting to be somewhat problematic, if only for me and nobody else. New category for posts of this nature, it looks as if I’m gonna be needing one henceforth. Check the list below and see if you can guess what it might be. A-HEHN!

Bee Doxxed by SPLC scum

Leftard filth, just doing what Leftard filth…does.

This week, the Southern Poverty Law Center published the identities of anonymous staff writers for our sister site, Not the Bee, which covers news so absurd that it seems like satire.

We at The Babylon Bee and Not the Bee remain committed to mocking woke insanity, but this is serious. 

The SPLC is a “scandal-ridden, discredited smear factory,” as our CEO Seth Dillon puts it, but government agencies, corporations, and violent leftists still take it seriously.

  • Last year, the FBI used SPLC data to connect traditional Catholics with extremism.
  • In 2020, Amazon relied on the SPLC’s “hate group” designations to disqualify conservative nonprofits from access to customer donations.
  • In 2012, the SPLC’s listing the Family Research Council as a “hate group” inspired a mass shooting plot at their headquarters.

We’ve been deplatformed, demonetized, and now doxxed by the SPLC. We won’t be intimidated, but we need your help to stay on the frontlines of the culture war. The only reason we’ve been able to survive these kinds of attacks is because we’re mostly reader-funded. And that’s where you come in.

Yes, as you’re bound to’ve grokked by now, the above is from a fundraising email the good folks at the Bee kited me; donation/subscription page is here, for any of y’all CF reprobates, scoundrels, and scalawags who might have a spare shekel or two to throw their way.

Seagoing disgrace

Thank God we still have the most powerful, STRAC, well-equipped and -trained, effectively invulnerable military in the world. Right?

RIIIIIGHT?!?

Ummm…yeah, about all that.

DoGE-ball

I could just as easily have appended this one to the previous post as an update; they are, after all, very much related. In the end, though, I felt it merits its own, separate place out here on the main stem.

DOGE this
an aristocracy fails in the matrix

watching the same people who cheer led for the creation of millions of regulations via unaccountable rubber stamp and executive fiat act like the removal of same is the end of functional governance is instructive.

i suspect they may even be sincere.

they experience a return to rights and freedom as loss and chaos.

it’s how you can tell they are an entrenched aristocracy of permanent state. it’s also how you can tell that you’re over the target.

pity the poor “federal worker” that most oppressed of americans…

apparently once you’re used to wielding dictatorial control, losing it feels like tyranny. one literally mistakes the freedom of others for the oppression of elites by unjust wreckers and the rollback of that which one rolled out without accountability or just or even legal right seems like some vastly unfair deprival of prerogative.

“how dare you delimit our right to rule!” decries the bureaucratic class and the professors and pundits who cling remora-like to them seeking power, privilege, and prestige. it’s sort of startling in the perfection of the honesty of its overt inversion.

this is, of course, precisely what our framers intended:

government by the consent of the governed not by the vast, unchecked fiat of unelected technocracy.

the monstrous sprawl of these executive agencies and their relentless and pervasive intrusion into all aspects of lives and livelihoods is not just incompatible to their vision, it stands anathema to it.

Don’t it, though; don’t it just.

it seems to me that the interesting part here is that i fully agree with brian about being an end to business as usual. we just disagree about the desirability of such an undertaking.

and so, i put it to you as we frame the key question that seems to define this divide:

“is the federal government as we know it something to defend or something to disassemble?”

because that’s really where the line is going to be drawn in the contention to come.

and for perhaps the first time since the 1930’s, the game is one that can be won because the slanted gameboard has been overturned.

Hey, hey, hey, sounds like another addition to Mike’s Iron Laws: Anything that’s extremely bad for them is extremely good for US.

From MAGA to MEGA

The Jeddak of Jeddaks gets positively jiggy with it.

Trump’s agenda is not compatible with American decline. Trump wants America to thrive. He wants America to be strong.

Just as a weak country must weaken its allies, a strong country can afford to strengthen them.

This would be a complete break with decades of implicit US foreign policy.

Trump has said repeatedly that he wants Europe to pull its weight in NATO, meeting the 2% GDP threshold that all member states are theoretically expected to fulfill, but which almost none of them actually do. Being a businessman, he frames this in financial terms: why should America pick up the tab for Europe’s defence? Which is certainly an urgent matter, given the disastrous state of America’s national debt. But this has inevitable geopolitical consequences. A remilitarized Europe that can actually defend itself is a Europe that is no longer at the mercy of the American military.

Making Europe Great Again isn’t solely a matter of investing more in European militaries. Such an agenda reaches into everything. Arabs and Africans need to be remigrated, in vast numbers. The rainbow parades need to stop: a continent of prancing sodomites is not a continent that can defend itself. And, of course, the economy must be revived: the overly intrusive regulatory fetters must be peeled off and set on fire, in order to make it possible for Europeans to once again exercise that famous, world-shaking creativity. People talk about “American ingenuity”, and Americans are ingenious, but this is only because Americans are a subspecies of European.

Extending MAGA to MEGA is not a matter of charity. The interconnectivity of the world makes MEGA essential to MAGA, and vice versa. The vampire strategy of ruling by weakening the imperial dependencies a little faster than they weaken the imperial core just results in the whole system getting weaker, which is a problem when your opponents are pursuing the opposite strategy domestically.

MEGA is also domestically important. The people running Europe are loyalists of the US deep state. As one example, the EU has been used as a way for the American deep state to try and do an end run around the US Constitution and reintroduce internet censorship, particularly on X, via the back door: the Eurocrats and their tame courts are quite happy to help them with this. There’s also a symbiotic relationship between Eurocrats and their left-wing American counterpart in the deep state: leftist policies are implemented in European political laboratories, which are subsidized by the American economy; their ‘successes’ are then cited as reason to bring these same policies home to America. If Trump is serious about dismantling his enemies at home, he also needs to crush their allies abroad.

This absolutely magisterial piece is a long ‘un indeed, of which you will most definitely want to read the all, folks.

Prayers up

And best wishes for a speedy recovery for our dear friend Gretchen, cherished spouse of our brother-from-another-mother Big Country, which good woman is currently languishing in hospital durance vile for a mysterious, sudden-onset affliction of unknown provenance. If you’re the praying type, please do send one up for Gretch yourself. What the hey, it don’t cost anything and can’t hurt, right?

FINALLY!

Me, I’m just happy to see a couple of these miserable-ass twits make good on their constant hysterical, teary-eyed threats to leave the country at long, long last.


Good riddance, don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split etc. Or, in the immortal words of the great Powers Booth…

Yes, it’s always been this way

Conflict and strife with Pisslam is a forever kind of thing.

Remembering Why the U.S. Navy Was Formed: To Combat Islamic Terror
During a recent mosque sermon at the North Hudson Islamic Center in New Jersey, a CAIR official, Ayman Aishat, made a seemingly startling claim:

We live in America, the United States of America. Brothers and sisters, those who do not know history, not too long ago, the USA was paying the jizya to the Ottoman Caliph.

Could this be?

First, let us define jizya. In brief (full discussion here), it is the monetary tribute that conquered or cowed infidels pay their Islamic overlords in exchange for peace, according to Koran 9:29:

Fight those among the People of the Book [Christians and Jews] who do not believe in Allah, nor the Last Day, nor forbid what Allah and his Messenger have forbidden, nor embrace the religion of truth [Islam], until they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.

And yes, Aishat is correct: once upon a time, in its fledgling youth, the United States succumbed to paying jizya to appease Muslim terrorists. That story is instructive — not least as it includes the genesis of the U.S. Navy.

Between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, the Muslims of North Africa (“Barbary”) thrived on enslaving Europeans. According to the conservative estimate of American professor Robert Davis, “between 1530 and 1780 there were almost certainly a million and quite possibly as many as a million and a quarter white, European Christians enslaved by the Muslims of the Barbary Coast.” (With countless European women selling for the price of an onion, little wonder by the late 1700s, European observers noted how “the inhabitants of Algiers have a rather white complexion.”)

As Barbary slaving was a seafaring venture, nearly no part of Europe was untouched. From 1627 to 1633, Lundy, an island off the west coast of Britain, was actually occupied by the pirates, whence they pillaged England at will. In 1627 they raided Denmark and even far-off Iceland, hauling a total of some 800 slaves.

Such raids were accompanied by the trademark hate. One English captive writing around 1614 noted that the Muslim pirates “abhor the ringing of the [church] bells being contrary to their Prophet’s command,” and so destroyed them whenever they could. In 1631, nearly the entire fishing village of Baltimore in Ireland was raided, and “237 persons, men, women, and children, even those in the cradle” were seized.

By the late eighteenth century, Barbary’s strength relative to Europe had plummeted, and the Muslims could no longer raid the European coastline for slaves — certainly not on the scale of previous centuries — so its full energy was spent on raiding non-Muslim merchant vessels. European powers responded by buying peace through tribute, which the Muslims accepted as jizya.

Fresh and fair meat appeared on the horizon once the newly born United States broke free of Great Britain and was therefore no longer protected by the latter’s jizya payments. In 1785, Muslim pirates from Algiers captured two American vessels, the Maria and Dauphin. They enslaved and paraded the sailors through the streets to jeers and whistles. Considering the horrific ways Christian slaves were treated in Barbary — sadistically tortured, pressured to convert, and sodomized, as described in the writings of missionaries, redeemers, and others (e.g., John Foxe, Fr. Dan, Fr. Jerome Maurand, Robert Playfair; see pp. 279-283) — when the Dauphin’s Captain O’Brian later wrote to Thomas Jefferson that “our sufferings are beyond our expression or your conception,” he was not exaggerating.

And the rest, as the saying goes, is history. Note Washington’s pithy take:

In such an enlightened, in such a liberal age, how is it possible that the great maritime powers of Europe should submit to pay an annual tribute to the little piratical States of Barbary? Would to Heaven we had a navy able to reform those enemies to mankind, or crush them into nonexistence.

As we all ought to know well enough after ~250 years of continual Muzzrat depredation against the US, the only rational, realistic choice has to be Option B. Remember, too, the “…shores of Tripoli” bit in the very first line of the Marine Corps Hymn. It’s in there for a very good reason, y’know.

Star Trek: 765874 – Unification

If you’re any kind of Star Trek fan at all, you’re gonna find this one…AWESOME.

A bit under eight minutes of unalloyed beauty, wonder, and joy, that’s what. Involving as it does the Genesis planet of fame and legend, I have to wonder what this might set the stage for, Trek-wise.

Welcome to this week’s installment of our Wednesday meme feature, folks. Links to the “found via” sources will be attached to the specific MiQ’s (Memes in Question) whenever I can remember them, which likely won’t be very often. Only the first two memes will appear above the fold to save on bandwidth usage, since I assume not everybody who shows up at this here websty will want to see all of them.

Troll level: JEDI MASTER

You gotta love it. Which, I most certainly do.

‘Trump Train’ trolls celebs from Oprah to Meghan Markle by driving through their tony Calif. enclave
A cavalcade of Trump fans trolled an A-List California enclave filled with lefty celebs such as Oprah Winfrey and Meghan Markle by driving their “Trump Train’’ right through it Saturday.

A series of posts on X showed the succession of flag-waving, sign-holding, horn-honking cars and motorcycles traversing Coast Village Road in Montecito defiantly blaring their support for the president-elect.

The wild display was likely an unwelcome shock to the hordes of limousine-liberal stars — some of the Democrats’ biggest donors — in the Santa Barbara suburb.

Winfrey, Markle and hubby Prince Harry, as well as bold-faced names such as Ellen DeGeneres, Gwyneth Paltrow, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Ariana Grande, Rob Lowe, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, call the Southern California paradise home.

The tony town, nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ynez Mountains, provides just the right mix of mild weather and scenic seascape for privacy-seeking celebrities with cash to burn.

Saturday’s California spectacle was just one of many so-called “Trump Train” processions that have popped up in cities and towns across the US in support of The Donald.

He ain’t even taken office yet, but what we might call “the Trump Effect” is already being felt everywhere.


Personally, I can only agree with absolutely everything this guy says—especially the last bit.
