This is getting to be a St. Patrick's Day tradition
I don't like all the stuff the Celtic Women do, and lord knows they've done enough over-produced schlock. But this, just four voices, no instruments, pure harmony, unbelievable tune....
It still gives me shivers up my spine every time I hear it.
"But Dave, how do you know it's really Irish?" Because I can't think of any other nation that would sing about a lover kneeling and praying the Ave Maria over his dear love's grave, and make it sound as sweet.
Some uncollected thoughts about the Christchurch shooting
These two statements can be true at the same time:
1) I am horrified at the senseless slaughter of random people, and condemn it in the strongest terms possible.
2) I can understand how the shooter got to this state of homicidal rage when faced with governments and nations who do absolutely nothing in the face of Islamic terrorism and invasion except mouth empty platitudes.
In all honesty, I'm waiting for something like this to happen in America, either in places where they've imported Somalis (Minnesota and Maine) who refuse to assimilate, or after an illegal alien kills yet another American citizen, we find out they were deported X times over, lived in a sanctuary city, and a family member of the dead American decides they've had just about enough.
That doesn't justify it. That doesn't make it right. But you can see the situations forming. You can see the conditions coming together bit by bit, and at best our government doesn't care. At worst? Well, we already know the Democrats are trying to bring in as many illegal aliens as possible so that they can get new voters. Extrapolate from there.

The sexiest photo I've seen in a long time.
Somewhat NSFW.
Ladies, although I doubt you're as interested in the subject material as we men, please note:
Pubic hair shown? None.
Nipples shown? None.
Promises made? Plenty.

Odd that this isn't getting any news play. Almost like people don't want to talk about it.
Small Business Job Creation breaks 22 year record. It's amazing what happens when you remove the government boot off of people's necks.
The study goes on to cite labor costs as the #1 problem of business owners. No shock there, labor costs are always the biggest problem most business owners have. Finding qualified people to hire is right there with labor costs.
But gosh, the Democrat Media Complex sure loves to talk about anything else, don't they?
Job creation among small businesses broke the 45-year record in February with a net addition of 0.52 workers per firm, according to NFIB’s monthly jobs report, released today. The previous record was in May 1998 at 0.51 workers per firm.

The Republican Party is a flaming dumpster fire being run over by a train
Here's about an succinct a summation as I could write on my own, by someone else.
Let's keep in mind that the GOP had two years of control of the House AND Senate, with Trump as President, and did nothing.
Those fucking back-stabbing, gutless, lying, traitorous fucking oxygen-thieves all need to be kicked to the curb. Mitch fucking McConnell is nothing but a lying bag of slimy shit, and every single fucking GOP shitstain who voted against the Emergency declaration needs to be primaried and sent the fuck home, forever. If I had my way, I'd take every knife they've shoved into the back of the GOP voters and return it, with interest.
Listen up, you fucking money-grubbing, donor-class traitors - YOUR COMPLETE AND TOTAL DERELICTION OF DUTY IS THE REASON DONALD TRUMP GOT ELECTED! If you had FUCKING DONE YOUR FUCKING JOB and LISTENED TO THE PEOPLE WHO ELECTED YOUR BACK-STABBING ASSES, Donald Trump would be a footnote in our political history! But because this country knows that the GOP leadership is nothing but a bunch of TWO-FACED FUCKING BACK-STABBING CUNTS, we rejected EVERY FUCKING SINGLE GOP SHITWAD in favor of the ONE GUY who hadn't spend the past few decades STABBING US IN THE FUCKING BACK AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY!
This might well be the end of the GOP as we know it. They are nothing but the Democrat Party under a different name. Fuck them. Fuck them, fuck their whore mothers, fuck the fathers they never knew because they refused to pay for the first "service", fuck the horses they rode in on, fuck the goats that spawned it, and fuck the mountain it grazed on. I hope that Mitch McConnell and the rest of his lying, scum-sucking, America-destroying traitors die screaming and spend eternity choking on the barbed cock of Satan. Don't worry, Barry Obumblefuck will be there with them.
I'll be voting for Trump in 2020, and fuck the GOP with a chainsaw. You want to know why the Democrats took control of the house? Because GOP voters were tired of voting for lying, back-stabbing anal warts. And who does the GOP continue to put up for election? Lying, back-stabbing anal warts. This country is going to hell in a handbag, and the GOP can't even muster the fucking fight to stand up and say "Hey, that's not kosher". Gutless, spineless, ball-less, two-faced, lying, parasites with no integrity, no honor, no morals and no character other than what the Democrats tell them to have. Fuck the fucking fuckers.
The senate had the 51 votes needed if they would have backed THEIR President, the Turtle promised Trump he would get the votes if Trump would sign the CR, now it takes the veto to get shit done, and Trump is once again doing this on his own, with no support from his own party.
Fuckin’ cowards all of them.

Happy Pi Day
The Ragin' Mrs. has made a sorghum-bourbon-pecan pie. We will be eating it in about half an hour.
You may be jealous of me now.

I'm noticing a trend here
Want to become mentally unbalanced, sexually dysfunctional and infected with an incurable virus? Cosmo has got some advice for you!
By all means, go hit the link and read it. It's just another piece of the puzzle that is the Democrat party.
There's so much here I could unpack that I don't know if I have time before the Mrs. calls me to the dinner table. Suffice to say that we have just about a trifecta of liberal signposts here: Sexually promiscuous, mentally ill, and diseased.
First: This is what happens when you unmoor yourself from religion, specifically Christianity.
Second: This is what is driving the left side of the culture wars.
Third: This is feminism in a nutshell.
I'm just agape at that article, wondering how I can try to distill it down into something that makes sense.

Twitter bans another conservative
Folks, about this time the only thing that Twitter is good for, is to be able to read what the anti-American enemies of freedom are saying when they think no one else is listening. But expect Twitter to ban more conservatives. And Facebook as well. They are all run by ProgNazis, who hate free speech and anyone to the right of Marx. They are going to suppress free speech as well as any speech that exposes their hateful ideology, and the suppression will only increase leading up to the 2020 elections.
Use Twitter to keep tabs on the enemies of America. Don't use it to try to form a group or communicate any conservative ideals, because you'll just get banned.
If you want to shout back at Leftist idiocy, get a burner email and use that. But Twitter as a platform for free and open speech is done, if it ever existed as such.

A good example of Celtic influence in modern music
Even though it's in 4/4 time, you can hear an Irish jig in the melody.
Damn good stuff.
Damn good stuff.
I'm glad I dumped facebook. You should do it as well.
Facebook has outright banned Zero Hedge. And they've "red-tagged" all of PJ Media, including Instapundit.
Folks, this is all a lead-up to the 2020 election. The Technofascists are furious that they couldn't get Hillary elected, and so they're going all out to make sure their chosen candidate does't lose again. Mark my words, it's going to get worse. The Left cannot allow free speech or an open expression of ideas, because when that happens, THEY LOSE. Therefore, they will stop any and all dissent from their narrative.

Riffing off of the previous post
Here's a good example of the 1-5-4 chord progression:
G, C, and D chords. But this simple little song still blows modern pop music out of the water.
A) It's five separate people playing five different instruments.
B) It's three people singing in harmony on the chorus.
C) They sound just as good live as they do in studio, because they're actual musicians.

More of "Bluegrass is hard"
Most songs run off of a mathematical progression - 1 : 4 : 5. If you take a song in the chord of C, the following chord will be F, followed by C, followed by G. You can switch it around to 1 : 4 : 5, but the old adage of "Three chords and the truth" holds true for just about any country song.
But listen to this:
The chords there are Em, B7, D and A for the chorus. The verses are C, G, D and Am, then C, G, Am and B7.
It's not just blowing the 1. 5. 4 progression out of the water, you have a Minor chord progression followed by C major on the verse leading up to a Minor chord for the transition.
For those who don't speak music, this blows all modern pop music our of the water. Pop music is "C-A-T spells CAT" and what the Steelddrivers are doing is the Illiad.
I'd just like to point out that bluegrass is the heritage of Celtic music, brought to his country by the Scots and Irish who ended up settling in the Appalachian Mountains. Coincidently, this is also where moonshining comes from. Try telling an Irishman that he can't have his liquor, and see what happens.
