I'm writing this tonight, and posting it in the morning

So that made sense, didn't it?

I spent all day making sausage.  As well as teaching the wife of a co-worker to make sausage.  We made Andouille and Chaurice, and then smoked the Andouille all afternoon.  Once we pulled the Andouille off the grill, we put on the pork bones from the pork shoulders we'd cut up for the sausage, and those have been smoking until 11 PM. 

I got to spend the evening surrounded by friends, eating good food, and having a good time.  And other than a few snide comments about MSNBC, we didn't discuss politics at all.  We talked sports.  Movies. Comedy.  Life in general.  Theology.  Haunted houses.  Exorcisms.  Kids.  Texas vs. Mississippi, especially when it comes to allergies.  And of course, food.

It was an awesome night.

I miss those.  Having that kind of nigh reminded me of a time when politics didn't consume every aspect of our lives.

By the by, the smoked pork bones will be used to make Hoppin' John, red beans and rice, and various other southern dishes.

If there's one thing that I curse the left for doing, is making everything political.  For taking away nights like tonight from everybody. 

Everybody needs a night like I had tonight.  But now we have to make sure we don't invite any Leftists in order to have that kind of night.  So be it.  I'm going to enjoy my life on this earth with good people and good food.  And good drink.  And cigars.  And I'll be damned if I bring some Leftist into my house to ruin it.  That's where I'm at right now.  I want to have a dinner and not talk about the President.  I want to have a dinner

I bet if they showed more stuff like this, our kids would be smarter

I certainly didn't learn this in school.  I had to search it out after I graduated.  But this would be junior high level stuff back when it was put out.

Yep

Obama’s FBI used a bogus file of fiction bought by Hillary’s campaign to mislead a judge so it could spy on the nominee for the other party and then pressure a probe after GOP victory, but this isn’t a scandal about the corruption of Democrats or DOJ because shut up bot.

That about sums it up.

Why Johnny can't Think

Way back in the Medieval times, when I was in high school, I commonly ran up against people who, in a debate, couldn't grasp basic facts.  This apparently wasn't too uncommon for a few folks.  If I were to posit that a tax on income resulted in people deliberately earning less in order to avoid said tax, I was told that I was an idiot, because nobody would do that.

Apparently, all of human nature doesn't count. 

I used to wonder about why so many kids in my school couldn't put figurative two and two together.  Now I know that was a deliberate action, by the Marxist left, to grow not a generation of citizens, but a generation of peasants who couldn't think on their own, and thus require the state to take care of them.  My saving grace was having parents who taught me on their own time, who removed any and all TVs from the house, and who demanded that I read the masters, both modern and ancient.

Today's kids?  Well, they're being taught by my classmates, most of whom are unfit to teach a boy how to take a piss in the woods.



When people say we can't vote our way out of this, they're right.  You can't debate someone who cannot grasp simple logic, and we have multiple generations of people in this country who have been taught NOT to think.

I need say no more.

Yet another American killed by illegal aliens

Hey Dave, why do you carry again?  Huh.  Oh yeah.  Because the Federal Government is essentially importing these fucking animals as fast as they can, and shows no signs of stopping.

An illegal alien has been accused of murdering 28-year-old Paige Lane Gomer, an Oklahoma mother of one, in a shooting last week, according to local authorities. 

Ramon Hector Martine Ontiveros, a 33-year-old illegal alien from Mexico, allegedly shotand killed 28-year-old Gomer in a shooting on March 21. Police have said Ontiveros has admitted to shooting Gomer, and the alleged murder is still being investigated.

Bring back public executions.

Russia, Russia, Russia!

How did we get here from there?  If someone wrote a script detailing the level of corruption and evil in the Democrat Party, Hollywood would turn it down and say it wasn't believable.

Millions of Americans have been led to believe that President Trump committed treason, and any day he could be led out of the White House in chains. They wake up every day thinking this could be the day that Mueller gets Trump. These poor souls should be facing a tough reality this weekend. But hold the Xanax, at least for now. The media and Democrat Party have dug themselves so deeply in a hole, they must keep on digging. That’s absolutely terrible for this country, as has been this entire endeavor.

This is just the beginning of how corrupt our government truly is.

As soon as the Clinton campaign realized its misdeeds toward Bernie had been made public, they blamed Russia. They immediately began putting out a narrativethat attempted to say Russia had acted to favor Trump, which included paying Fusion GPS—a notorious propaganda outfit with ties to loads of so-called journalists—to create ties between Trump and Russia. 

Fusion GPS then hired a former British spy, Chris Steele, to boost their credibility. He used a different British guy with ties to the Kremlin, Edward Baumgartner, who employed unknown Russians to write a series of Word documents that alleged Trump-Russia collusion. 

Meanwhile, Clinton stooge Cody Shearer wrote other documents that alleged Trump-Russia collusion, and Clinton stooge Sidney Blumenthal disseminated those documents into the Obama State Department with the help of would-be Clinton administration secretary of state Victoria Nuland. The State Department people then gave those documents to the FBI. 

In short, the Hillary campaign peppered the Obama executive branch with allegations of Trump-Russia collusion. The Obama intelligence apparatus, pushed on by Obama’s Central Intelligence Agency director John Brennan, was only too happy to run with it. Jim Comey’s FBI then used those Word documents to get a warrant from a secret court to spy on Carter Page, a former Trump campaign aide, which allowed the FBI to spy on the rival political party’s presidential campaign.

Go read the rest over there.  Not only was the government involved in this entire shit-show, but the media as well, all in a concerted effort to undo the 2016 election.  And crimes were committed.  Yet none of the criminals are facing punishment for their crimes, which is yet another sign that this country is about to rip itself apart.

In other words, being a liberal black pole-smoker means you don't get jail time for your crimes

This is my shocked face.  No, I'm actually shocked, because the Chicago PD pretty much laid out their case, and they are friggin' PISSED right now that Jussie Smollett is walking.  Even Obama loyalist and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel blistered the county for letting Smollett walk.

I'm guessing Smollett had some dirt on someone.  Either that, or someone got PAID.

Hack. Hack. Cough.

So we got some rain here recently.  On the drive to work, I could see the various puddles of POLLEN staining the road. Yellow in some cases, green in others, from the trees that line the road.  All the way to work.

My breathing sucks right now.  Mississippi has got to be the greatest farmland in America, because shit never stops growing here.  You can pull two growing seasons out of the earth if you wish.  But that means that there is never a time when you don't have allergens in the air.  It's pollen from March to November, and the leaf mold from December to February, and then we start all over again.

Have I mentioned that I'm on two different allergy medications, PLUS the nasal lavage?  Yeah.  I keep reminding people here that I am not a Southern Man.

Yeah. It's bad.

Take a gander at Mississippi.  I live in a town right on the Mississippi river.  Yeah.  We're watching the river, and all the local rivers, just keep rising.

We're not panicking.  Yet.

The year of the single-stack?

Insty links to this article about how single-stack pistols are all the rage these days.

Had you asked me a couple of years ago, I would have been all manly-man grunting "Single Stack better be a 1911!  45 ACP all the way!  UG UG UG!"  But after living in the South for a period of time?  Holy moly, folks.  I can't even begin to explain the climate to those who haven't experienced it.  Wait, I can try:  Go into your local gym.  Go into the sauna.  Crank up the heat to at least 90 degrees.  Now dump water on to the rocks until the humidity is 90% or higher.  Do this in your work clothes.  Do this in casual clothing.  And then sit there for 24 hours and tell me just how concealable your pistol is.

My current carry pistol is the Ruger LC9s Pro, with an extra magazine.  That's a total of 15 rounds of hollowpoint 9mm goodness.  And most importantly, that little pistol disappears under a light shirt.  Remember, the name of the game is CONCEALED carry.  Once I move back up North, I'll carry my double-stack 9mm or my 1911 again, when clothing is bulky enough that nobody sees it.  But for right now?  Small pistol good. 

Well, look at that...

Jeffrey Epstein got 13 months in work-release for child rape & child sex trafficking dozens of underage teen girls

David Asimov got probation for the largest child p-rn collection in California history

Paul Manafort got 4 years

Robert Mueller personally handled all 3 cases

As Vox Day points out, Mueller recommended 20 years for Manafort.  But apparently if you're a pedo, Mueller's your guy!

Well, yeah....

Millennials would pick politics over the best lay of their life.

Anglesey’s not alone: Whether red or blue, most millennials would pick their party over the best lay of their life, according to new research. 

The number of millennial men and women who prioritize political party alliance over good sex has skyrocketed since 2016, according to data from OkCupid. The matchmaking company surveyed more than 8 million users, and found that interest in dating someone with similar political beliefs has gone up 165 percent since 2004, while having good sex has decreased as a priority 30 percent.

The best lays are crazier than a shithouse rat.  This is well known.  Nuttier than squirrel turds.  I'm actually happy to see that people take more into consideration than just how good a one-night-stand is going to be.

And let's face it:  liberal women, by and large, are some of the nastiest skanks out walking the earth.  Oh gosh, Sunflower Moonbeam dyed her armpit hair purple and braids her leg hair into a "Impeach Trump" macrame art piece!  Yeah, hard pass on that.  Anyone remember Moldylocks, the Antifa darling who got to express herself by getting knocked the fuck out by a Proud Boy?  She used to look good.  She used to look like a normal, healthy woman that you'd love to take home to meet your parents.  Then she went hard left, and, well....

So yeah, were I a young man on the dating scene, and I found a woman's profile that screamed "IMPEACH TRUMP #THERESISTANCE" I wouldn't give her the time of day.  Why would I willingly put myself in contact with the mentally ill?  The sex might be good, but the various STD's are a definite turn-off.

Well, hot diggity!

Blazing indeed...

Two more Americans killed by illegal aliens who should have been deported

And let's be blunt, these are just two more that are being reported.  There are plenty more people being killed/raped/assaulted/burgled/accosted by illegal aliens every single day in this country that never make the news.

There are plenty of reasons to hate the GOP.  But their complete and total abdication of duty to deal with illegal immigration is pretty much #1 on the list for me, and has been ever since about 2004.  It's not a failure.  Failure implies that they tried and just couldn't do anything.  This is abdication of duty, compiled by their lying about it to their voters for over a decade.

On the Democrat's dashed hopes, and their addiction to their hatred

Once the needle goes in....

An addiction begins to end when the drug is withdrawn, but the addict can and often does substitute another. Democrats have been preparing the new drug, much like the old one: Congressional investigations. And if the Mueller report isn’t released to the public they will say there is something (or perhaps many things) that is being hidden, something important. If it is released to the public they will comb through it, much as they did with Sarah Palin’s garbage, looking for a smoking gun (mixed metaphor, I know) or at least a faint whiff of smoke. No doubt they will find something to feed their habit.

They're not going to stop screaming.  Instead, their screaming is going to ratchet up to previously unheard of levels.

The Trump-Russia Collusion story is confirmed to be bullshit

But we already knew this.

This is a damning page one admission by the Times. Despite the connect-the-dots graphic in its other story, and despite the astonishing, emotion-laden editorial the paper also ran suggesting “We don’t need to read the Mueller report” because we know Trump is guilty, Baker at least began the work of preparing Times readers for a hard question: “Have journalists connected too many dots that do not really add up?” 

The paper was signaling it understood there would now be questions about whether or not news outlets like themselves made a galactic error by betting heavily on a new, politicized approach, trying to be true to “history’s judgment” on top of the hard-enough job of just being true. Worse, in a brutal irony everyone should have seen coming, the press has now handed Trump the mother of campaign issues heading into 2020.

What really needs to be understood is that the Left didn't actually think that Trump colluded with Russia.  They simply wanted to attack Trump and hope that the very accusations of collusion would be enough to remove him from office.  They hoped that the accusation after accusation, parroted by the Democrat Media Complex, would be enough to force the population of America to demand that Trump resign.  Because let's face it - had Trump been a typical GOP cuck, he would have stepped down and apologized profusely for non existent crimes rather than fight back.

But Trump isn't some spineless GOP flunky.

And so the Democrats plowed on pushing a bullshit narrative, that everybody knew was bullshit.

Nothing Trump is accused of from now on by the press will be believed by huge chunks of the population, a group that (perhaps thanks to this story) is now larger than his original base. As Baker notes, a full 50.3% of respondents in a poll conducted this month said they agree with Trump the Mueller probe is a “witch hunt.”

Look for the Democrats to now pivot to attacking any criminal act as small as a parking ticket associated with anyone that might have possibly be in Trump's circle.  This is standard National Socialist Democrat Worker's Party tactics.  Ignore the truth, and keep attacking.  The Walking, Talking Sack of Shit Jerrold Nadler has already signaled that he's going to destroy anyone associated with Trump on any trumped up charges he can manufacture.  It doesn't matter what the truth is, the only think that Slimy Anal Wart Jerrold Nadler cares about is removing Trump from office.

If Trump wins in 2020, expect the rage and bullshit to increase.  Up to 11, even.

And yet, it will continue on

Victor Davis Hanson:  The Coup has failed.....

But what else do they have to run with?  The Democrats have nothing else to run on.  That talking bag of shit Nadler has been yapping about Russia for two years, and now is trying to find anything and everything he can to take down Trump and his family and his friends and his co-workers and anyone who might have worked for him ten years ago and the guy janitor at Trump tower and so on and so forth.  And the rest of the National Socialist Democrat Workers Party is right along with him, because they have NOTHING that appeals to 90% of America, and thus they can only destroy Trump by any means possible.

Yes, the coup failed.  That doesn't mean they've stopped.  THIS coup failed, but the next one is right around the corner.

Ichiro has retired

I moved to Seattle in late 2000, and I was in the ballpark for plenty of games in 2001, his first year in the Major Leagues.  Man, he was awesome to watch.

The Mariners showed class.  Ichiro had "partially retired" last year, but the Mariners kept him on so that he could play his last games in Japan.  I regret that he never got to win a World Series, but he's not the first world-class player who never made it, and he won't be the last.

So long, and smooth sailing, Ichiro.

I've said this plenty of times

If you're not at the table, you're on the menu.

Normally I say this in the context of military budgets.  If you're not at the table, i.e. the budgetary planning meetings, your share of the pie is going to get gobbled up.  But RedPillJew has another interpretation:



You can go read his entreaty to American Jews at his website. 

I've been mulling this over a bit in my head for some years now.  American Jews vote overwhelmingly Democrat.  Ben Shapiro has stated quite often that many American Jews consider themselves to be "ethnic", not religious Jews.  So they consider themselves to be a group based on their bloodlines, and never set foot inside a temple.

I can remember the protests against the war in Iraq, where Leftists held banners against war, against the USA, against GW Bush, and most especially against Jews.  Caricatures of Jews as hooked-nose monsters, Jews as blood-sucking vampires, and (laughably) Jews as Nazis.  A photo blogger with the nom de cyber of "Zombie" documented such things, with graphic evidence.  Here's just one small example:





For decades, the Democrat party has been embracing anti-Semitism whole-heartedly, and American Jews keep voting for them. 

There's a big part of me that says "Let them get what they vote for, and let them get it good and hard."  The new Democrat Darlings, Ilhan Omar, Rancid Tlaib, and the de-facto Speaker of the House Alexandria Ocasio-Chavez are as anti-Semitic as they come, and it shows no signs of slowing down.

And American Jews vote Democrat by overwhelming margins.

RedPillJew is correct:  Sit at the table or be on the menu.  I just don't think that American Jews, by and large, are willing to understand that.  For all the vaunted Jewish intelligence, they keep voting for people who hate them, and will eventually be run out yet again by uncivilized barbarians hellbent on murder.  And this time, it will be because they refused to see the danger even though they had not only plenty of warning, but an entire political party pleading with them to abandon their head-long rush into annihilation. 

Fox News is on the way to becoming yet another Cuck-driven dumpster fire

How in the hell do you hire Donna Brazile, Fox?  How?  Just who the hell do you think is giving you your good ratings?  Do we need yet another DNC plant to lecture us on how we're a bunch of white homophobic nazis who rape women and then stop them from getting abortions?

How in the hell do you hire a woman who gave debate questions to Hillary Clinton and got fired from CNN as a result?  Is Fox news in such dire straits that they need to pick up the cast-offs from a network that is essentially the DNC propaganda organ?  A DNC propaganda organ who fired Brazile for being too in the tank for the Democrats!  Ugh.

Fox News is going to give a masterclass in how to destroy a brand. Those of us who used to consume Fox News Channel cannot even go to Fox Business Network since the bigwigs have threatened to have her on there too. It’s groovy Fox. You don’t want us. We don’t want you either. We will take our eyeballs, our clicks and our ad dollars and go elsewhere. Somewhere we are loved and respected.

Well said, Mrs. Williams.

Might I suggest One America News Network?  They seem to understand that being Democrat-Lite isn't a winning proposition. 

Perique

Perique is a type of tobacco made only in Louisiana.  The short story is that they grow the tobacco in one particular location, then process it by marinating it in its own juice.  The end result is a tobacco that is extremely peppery and flavorful.

The Crescent City Cigar Shop has a house blend cigar that is made using Perique tobacco.  It's rather delightful.  I'm enjoying it right now with a good single malt.

Apropos of that, it's rather nice to be home.

Homosexuality in religion

Here's a rather good summation of why SJWs are destroying religion and churches in America.

They don’t want only to be accepted in a congregation–that acceptance is reality throughout the nation–they want everyone to agree with their abolishment of the sin of homosexuality.  Yet even that is not enough.  They want to be universally praised for their courage and virtue in living the very sin they seek to abolish, and they want everyone else to pay for it. 

Those with doctrinal arguments with a given denomination can easily seek another congregation, or another denomination. In so doing, they force nothing on others, they take none of their resources, and their fidelity in following God’s word is between them and God.  But those who seek to transform a congregation, the beliefs of a denomination, or of Christianity, by force, will quickly discover the real meaning of disapproval, and like us all, will have to answer to God. 

This is personal weakness and socialist politics. It’s not wise to try to include God in that.

Any church that openly embraces homosexuality is going to eventually fail.  You cannot claim to be a house of God while simultaneously endorsing the very actions that God has called a sin.   The Episcopal Church threw their lot in with homosexuality, and divorced themselves from God in order to do so.  The Episcopal Church used to have quite a bit of clout in America.  Nowadays, they're spending more to maintain empty churches than they are taking in through tithing.  The Social Justice Warriors love the Episcopal Church now, but that does't translate into people actually going to church.  The love of modern society is ephemeral and meaningless.  The love of God is solid as a rock and unchanging, because God is unchanging.

When you divorce yourself from God in order to embrace modern society, the result is death.  The Methodists just ducked that bullet, but if they don't remain strong they'll suffer the same fate.

The Catholic Church in America is also dying off for much the same reason.  Vatican 2 essentially turned Catholic Churches into protestant ones, and if there's no real difference in how you treat God, people will just....  drift away.  Couple that with an onslaught of effeminate gay priests, and you have a recipe for driving people out of the pews in droves.  Men will not take their families to be lectured to by a lisping, limp-wristed Social Justice Warrior.

It should come as no surprise that the fastest growing areas in the Catholic Church, the ONLY areas that are experiencing growth, are the traditional orders.  Masses in Latin.  Nuns in habits.  Love of God, clearly expressed and modern SJW morals rejected.  There's a lesson there, if anyone cares to learn it.

Oh my....

I'm sorry Mr. Fernandez, but we've crossed that Rubicon already

Richard Fernandez writes about the massacre in Christchurch, and attempts to warn foolish people who won't listen:

But perhaps the absolute worst thing politicians can do is respond by collecting guns, imposing hate speech restrictions, and announcing open borders.  In the current atmosphere of distrust toward authority, such actions can destroy the only asset a state faced with ethnic conflict has: the public belief that it is above the fray and won't sell anyone out. That quantity can itself run out and therein lies the danger.

The public belief that the government is above the fray and won't sell anyone out?  I'll pause here for the laughter to die down.

The FBI was aware of Steele's "sources" but still used the dossier to convince a FISA judge to issue a warrant against Trump campaign aide Carter Page.  That the FBI has, to this day, refused to verify the authenticity of the information in the dossier is not surprising.  A document as flawed as this should never have been presented to a FISA court as justification for granting a warrant to spy on Carter Page.  It makes the FBI look ridiculous. 

Many on the left still take the dossier as gospel and refer to it as if it were relevant.  It isn't.  It was a political smear job, paid for by Democrats, that Steele passed on to a former aide to GOP presidential candidate John McCain, who gave it to BuzzFeed, who then posted it. 

The one and only thing the government seems to be good at is screwing over the average American for someone else's benefit.  I don't have any belief that the US Government won't sell me out.  Based on past actions, I have every faith in the world that the US Government will sell us out in a red hot minute the moment it has the opportunity, and it is only the threat of armed resistance that prevents them from doing so immediately. 

Does that seem pessimistic?  Then ask yourself why the US government refuses to stop the flood of illegal immigrants into this country despite there being an overwhelming percentage of the population that wants our immigration laws enforced.

Because the US Government doesn't give a shit about you, you're nothing but an inconvenience.  They won't have to deal with the end results of illegal criminals flooding THEIR communities.  They won't have to deal with the crime and the drugs and the deaths and the kidnappings and the sex trafficking.

Wait - they probably WANT the sex trafficking, because too many of them are degenerate perverts.  If they allow the illegal aliens to bring their child sex slaves into America then they can satisfy their lusts here at home instead of having to fly to the Dominican Republic.  Right, Senator Menendez from New Jersey?

The people currently infesting Washington D.C. don't want to live with you, they want to rule over you.  And with that as their goal, they will abandon you to the wolves at the first opportunity.  They'll screw you over in a heartbeat and walk away smiling.  And as has been proven by the 2016 election, the government is not above the fray, they are not looking out for the country's best interests, and they are not above abusing their power in pursuit of a political goal.  In fact, they absolutely DO abuse their power for political goals, and will do so again.

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.

Small Business Job Creation breaks 22 year record.  It's amazing what happens when you remove the government boot off of people's necks.

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 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?

Your "Heh" of the day

Yep.

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.

 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.

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.

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.

So if anyone wants to buy me a belated birthday present...

This will do!



I gotta get me one of them....

Got that from Woodster.

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.

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.

Bluegrass is hard as hell y'all

Exhibit A:



I once heard a country singer, who was asked why he chose country music, respond "Well, I wanted to do bluegrass, but after a year I realized it was too damn hard.  So I switched to country."

Hoooooo-boy.

Raped thirty times a day for five years

Everyone who refuses to enforce our laws, everyone who refuses to secure our border, everyone who enables illegal immigration, is in favor of girls being kidnapped, brought across our border, and being raped THIRTY TIMES A DAY FOR FIVE YEARS.



I have been asked why I'm a hard-ass on several occasions.  Many times the person arguing with me says "I thought you were a Christian!  I guess you don't believe in forgiveness!  I guess you don't believe in compassion!"

Compassion?  How compassionate is it to allow children to be raped day after day, year after year?  How compassionate is it to allow drugs to come into our country and kill hundreds of thousands of Americans?  For every criminal you allow to go free in the name of compassion, there are victim after victim after victim who were victimized only because you allowed their victimizer to go free in the name of "compassion".  Where is the compassion for the victims of the criminal?  Why does a person who breaks the law rate higher than the law-abiding citizen who gets robbed, or raped, or murdered?

As for forgiveness:  Every time Jesus forgave a sinner, what was the next thing he said?

GO FORTH AND SIN NO MORE.

Which means for those people to truly be forgiven, they would have to confess their sins, make penance, and not sin again.  THAT is the Christian way. 

Allowing criminals to freely enter the country so that they can force teenage girls into prostitution is not the Christian way.

It's sad that I even have to type that statement.

News you can use

Specifically as it relates to defensive handgun use.  I know that there are still a lot of people out there who sneer at smaller calibers when it comes to self defense, but with the improvements in smaller defensive rounds, such as 9mm and .380 ACP, the difference is negligible.



What's the point of this?  Avoid mouse guns, but other than that carry the gun that you are comfortable with.  Five rounds of .380 hollowpoints in the torso is just as good as five rounds of .45 when it comes to stopping a threat.  And let's remember, the goal is not to Dirty Harry your way through a war zone.  The goal is to stop the threat and get away alive.  You want to fight a war, get weapons chambered for war.  You want to make sure you get home alive on Saturday night, you carry a gun that is concealable and accurate for you to shoot.

As Glen Reynolds said...

The K-12 implosion summed up in a single event.

William’s grandmother, Karen Fisher, told Fox 13 she was “pretty upset” by the incident and received a call from the school’s principal and the teacher who ordered the cross to be washed off. 

“I asked her if she read the Constitution with the First Amendment, and she said, 'No,'” Fisher said.

Emphasis mine.  Folks, the publik skool sistim is nothing more than daycare for feral youth and the good kids unlucky enough to be forced into these government indoctrination centers.  Find any other way of educating your children if you want them to be successful.  Homeschool them.  Private schools.  Charter schools.  Parochial schools.  But for the love of all that is good and holy, do not force your children to suffer in a public school.  There might be a few success stories coming out of publik skool, but there are far, far more examples of good kids being destroyed by their publik skool experience.

What a difference a couple decades make.

So, for the past few days I've been at Fort Hood, Texas.  Rather busy.  But the last time I had been at Hood was back in 1999, when young SP4 Dave was doing mobilization training for a little trip to Bosnia.

Can't say I ever wanted to come back after that trip.  But a couple of decades in between visits can change a place.  It's still Central Texas, which means it's flat, hot and windy.  Not my preferred climate.  But other than a month or two in the summer, this wouldn't be a bad place to live. 

Oh, and every single Army base still has that one road that is the cheap, run-down, used car lot, crappy bars, strip joints and criminal enterprises drag.  That hasn't changed.  At Fort Riley, we called that place "Junction City".

Anyone who's been stationed at Riley knows exactly what I mean.

Going home today, so I get to sleep in my own bed.  The lodging on post isn't bad, but it's not mine.  It doesn't have my wife and a home-cooked meal.  Which, by the way, should be meat-free today, as we are in the season of Lent, and every Friday you should be abstaining from meat.  The Mrs. and I do that all year round, but it's even more important during Lent.  Just an FYI.

"Highly Educated" does not mean "Highly Intelligent"

Especially today, when a college degree doesn't actually mean that you learned anything of value, like economics, or history, or Western Civilization, and universities are indoctrination centers instead of institutions of higher learning.

Here's a sentence that may surprise many readers: "In general, the most politically intolerant Americans… tend to be whiter, more highly educated, older, more urban, and more partisan themselves." 

That's according to a recent article in The Atlantic, which cites the results of a survey conducted by the polling firm PredictWise. The authors were interested in gauging political intolerance—where in the U.S. are people more likely to disassociate from members of the opposite political party?—and were able to assemble a county-by-county index of American intolerance based on poll results.

As I've said before, I've had to correct the spelling, grammar and format of one-page essays from people who held a Master's degree.  A degree used to mean something positive.  Nowadays, if you hold some degree in the liberal arts, it means you're most likely an indoctrinated hard-core Marxist unable to deal with the real world in any kind of meaningful way, with the added bonus that you don't hold any kind of marketable job skills.  Oh, and you have tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loan debt.

Yay, college.

Anyways, given that colleges and universities have been churning out good little Marxists for decades, is it any shock that people are now finding that "highly educated" whites are so intolerant?  Yeah.  Didn't think so.

I'm for it

Standard Time.  Daylight Savings Time.  Pick one, make it permanent.

Most of the nation will set their clocks forward one hour this Sunday, and Sen. Marco Rubio is hoping to make the change stick.  

The Florida Sen. is expected to reintroduce the his Sunshine Protection Act, which would make Daylight Saving Time permanent for all of the United States, several media outlets in Florida report. 

Enough of this swinging to and fro.  Pick one and stick with it.  I've lived in places that didn't change back and forth, and I didn't miss it one single bit.  It just needs to go away.

Why we need Christianity

Part 2



As an aside, Central Texas is flat.  Very, very flat.

Yup

And this just barely touches on why a modern society that rejects Christianity is bound to fail.  As someone else pointed out a while ago, the reason God handed down the Ten Commandments wasn't that he just wanted to tell people what to do.  The Ten Commandments is simply how life works best.  A society that lives by the Ten Commandments can function together no matter who is a part of that society.  But a society that disregards them, and lives however they want to live, ends up with hostility, distrust, and violence.

Apropos of absolutely nothing

Dickel whiskey has a batch that's aged in Tabasco barrels.

Uh huh.

I'll be trying it out in a Manhattan later tonight.

Going to church

And then cleaning.  I have a whole bunch of bottles that need to be sanitized and put away for the impending move.

And when I get to my next duty station, I need to throw away every single bit of cardboard and get new boxes to store the bottles, as the mold her has been so pernicious that I'm having to spray metal lockers down with bleach.

Meet the new Socialists, same as the old Socialists

Man, it's almost amazing how money just gets funneled into their pockets, innit?

Freshman Democratic representative Rashida Tlaib (Mich.) paid herself tens of thousands of dollars from her campaign's funds during the midterm elections, filings with the Federal Election Commission show. 

Tlaib, who was elected to the House last November, began paying herself on May 7, 2018, from Rashida Tlaib for Congress, her campaign committee, and averaged $4,000 per month outside of August, which included two checks of $3,000 each.

It's actually not a shock at all, because this is what Socialists do.

So much for that "summit" Bergolio

Yeah, like we expected the guy who's best friends with all the homosexual predators to do anything about them.

The Vatican’s four-day summit on protecting minors ended Sunday with a whimper. There were no new “concrete, effective measures” to hold Catholic bishops accountable for ignoring and covering up sexual abuse, as Pope Francis had called for before the summit began. There were likewise no discussions of the link between sexual abuse and homosexuality among the clergy, the rampant abuse of adult seminarians by their superiors, or the case of disgraced former Archbishop Theodore McCarrick. 

Instead, the summit concluded with a 3,000-word speech by Francis that contained little of substance but was heavy on defensiveness and bureaucratese. Francis rattled off a list of “best practices” for ending violence against children compiled by the World Health Organization, and offered a meandering discussion about how a “great number of” abuse cases are “committed within families”—an obvious attempt to deflect attention from the putative subject of the summit: clerical sexual abuse.

Just in case you want to know how deviant and evil Jorge Bergolio is, while he was working up to this "summit" that accomplished nothing, his boyfriend, who also traffics in underage boy prostitutes, was murdering the woman who outed him.

Let me lay this out, because it's almost impossible to grasp.  The gay boyfriend of Jorge Bergolio either murdered or paid someone to murder the woman who outed his trafficking of young boys as sexual slaves and prostitutes.

Jorge Bergolio, aka Pope Francis
Has a boyfriend
Who traffics in underage male prostitutes against their will
Who killed the woman who exposed him.

Dear Lord Jesus, purge your Church from this evil that inflicts us, so that we may once again represent you on this earth.

Is NYC that fucking stupid?

Yes, yes they are.  Not only did they vote for Alexandria "Donkey Chompers" Ocasio-Chavez, the googly-eyed socialist who's dumber than a sack of wet hammers, they also voted for Bill De Blasio and his communist wife, who just managed to blow away $1.6 billion dollars with no real record of what it was spent on.

How many other big-bucks initiatives are in similar straits is unknowable — mostly because bureaucrats never blow the whistle on themselves and also because Gotham’s formal watchdog, city Comptroller Scott Stringer, is among the most incurious individuals ever to hold the office. 

That the co-mayors could fly under the radar to burn through $1.6 billion to no obvious good effect is an embarrassment — but understandable in the abstract. Things happen. 

That Stringer could sleep through it all is the real scandal; why does the city even have a comptroller, if that’s the standard of performance?

Bill "Blah Blah" De Bolshevik is a hard-core Marxist through and through, so we don't even have to guess as to where the money went - it went into the pockets of his political allies and cronies.  Just like it does in every Marxist government around the world, ever.

Every time I hear anyone on TV or radio try to tell me about how people from NYC are so educated and intelligent, I can only roll my eyes and look at who they elected to represent them.  "Oh, but our financial center of the country is in Wall Street!"  Doesn't have to be.  That's just geography, and it can be moved.  "Oh but the arts and culture!"  HA!  Has anyone been to a museum of art lately?  If you wanted a backdrop for a horror movie, all you need to do is stroll into the Modern Art section and take a look around.  Modern "art", which seems to come from these vaunted urban areas, is a collection of garbage, mental illness, and wasted paint.

Bottom line, I don't want to hear one smug New Yorker trying to brag on about how great their city is.  It's run by "Blah Blah" De Bolshevik, and you have Hugo Chavez's ideological daughter running thousands of jobs away in her first year in office.  Bra-fucking-vo.  Enjoy the homeless people pissing and shitting on your streets, New Yorkers!  It couldn't happen to a nicer toilet of a city.

The wife just called the sheriff on our drug-dealing neighbors

But not for the drugs; we don't have enough evidence to give the cops.  But for weeks now, they've been burning trash by the barrel-full.  And it's always got some plastic and other chemicals in it.

So we come back from returning dogs to the neighbor's place (that's another story) and our entire section of road, as well as a couple of acres around us, are engulfed in smoke that makes our throats burn and our eyes hurt.  It's the neighbors, and there's smoke just billowing out of their burn barrel. 

"Neighbors" is a rough term, given that we're rather rural.  They live down the road, and the smoke is stretching from their property to several hundred yards past ours.  The wife starts having problems breathing, and just goes inside to call the local constabulary.  Dispatch says that they'll send a sheriff by, and if the neighbors are doing anything wrong the sheriff will make them put the fire out.  That's good enough.  We're outside of city limits, so we don't even know what the rules are for burning around here. 

The Sheriff shows up.  Apparently, there was nobody home, so the next thing I know a firetruck shows up, and extinguishes the smoldering barrel of plastic.  But for about two hours, we were chased inside by a pall of chemical smoke that was affecting our breathing.

I'm ready to leave this town.

And I'm not kidding about them being drug dealers.  As far as I know, they're users as well.  At least, that's the way they act.

We still don't know what was smoldering in the barrel.

Justin Trudeau is a corrupt sack of shit

This shouldn't come as a shock to anyone who remembers his daddy.  Justin Trudeau was born and raised to be a socialist dictator.  There should be no wonders as to why he turned into what he was raised to be.

1. For my American and British friends: Canada's Justin Trudeau is done. He might try to fight on; I personally think he's too damaged. He's irreparably damaged. Here's what happened in a few short tweets. pic.twitter.com/E57BxWPKhK

But hopefully, for our friends up North, his goose is cooked.

Tim Scott argues against killing babies

You would think that in this supposedly "civilized" age, a bill that would prevent babies from being killed would be a no-brainer.  But because the Democrats, the Party of Death and Evil, want to destroy Western Civilization as we know it, they are all in on infanticide.  They are fully bought in on the concept of killing babies.




It makes me sick to my stomach.

The New Socialist It Girl provides a lesson in Socialism

That being, the leaders of socialist movements always claim they're with the people, and that lasts up to, but not beyond, the point they get elected.  And then it's living rich, baby.

And it’s unclear whether the 29-year-old lawmaker, who represents the Bronx and Queens, actually still lives in the Parkchester neighborhood that has been so closely tied to her rise — even though she won her upset victory over fellow Democrat Rep. Joe Crowley with accusations that his home in Virginia made him too Washington-focused to serve his district. 

Ocasio-Cortez has used her deceased father’s Bronx condo on her voter registration since 2012, and even posed in the one-bedroom Bronx flat for celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz in a Vogue magazine profile after her stunning November election. But The Post could find little indication she continues to live there. 

The Post emailed Ocasio-Cortez’s spokesman, Corbin Trent, four times with specific questions — which were all ignored. On Saturday, The Post reached Corbin by phone. 

“We will not be commenting,” he said. Among the queries he refused to answer: Where does the congresswoman live?

The new leader of the Democrat Party can't even take a few lessons from the old leader.  At least Granny Rictus still had a San Fran mansion, albeit surrounded by a massive fence so that the great unwashed hoards couldn't be seen or smelled.  The googly-eyed socialist idiot can't even manage to keep an address near the people she supposedly represents.

Meanwhile, in Washington, Ocasio-Cortez has rented a pad in a luxe building in the chic Navy Yard neighborhood, where studios start at $1,840 a month, according to the Washington Examiner. 

Her new digs feature gold-plated amenities like a rooftop infinity pool, a cycling studio with a dozen pricey Pelotons, men’s and women’s saunas, and a golf simulation lounge — but no affordable units for low-income residents, in spite of a local law that requires them, the news site reported. 

In the eight months since Ocasio-Cortez’s dramatic defeat of the long-serving Crowley in June’s Democratic primary — a victory that all but guaranteed a general election win in the heavily Democratic District 14 — the congresswoman has failed to open a local office.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA SUCKERS!  I hope NYC retains this moronic bimbo for years, and I hope she remains the face of the Democrat Party.  It would serve New York City right to be represented by an arrogant, elitist, out-of-touch, ignorant snot-nosed piece of socialist crap.

Socialism as a Hate Crime

A well thought out article.

Which raises the question: given our loose standards on the subject, why isn’t socialism a “hate crime”? 

After all, the evidence for its malignant effects is obvious to anyone with sufficient curiosity to look at the historical record. The socialist movement has been responsible for the murder, imprisonment, and torture of many millions, and perhaps hundreds of millions, of innocent people during its heyday in the twentieth century. That history of murder and tyranny continues on a smaller scale today in the handful of countries living under the misfortune of socialism—for example, Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam, and (more recently) Venezuela. 

How do socialists escape the indictment that, in view of the historical record, they are purveyors of tyranny and mass murder? Many deny that Stalin, Mao, and the others were true socialists and, indeed, that socialism has never really been tried—a manifest absurdity. Senator Sanders and others claim that they are for something called “democratic socialism,” a popular and peaceful version of the doctrine, but that’s what Lenin, Mao, and Castro said until they seized power and immediately began to sing a different tune. Democracy and diversity are what they say when out of power; tyranny and authoritarianism are what they practice once in power. That is the tried-and-true technique of all socialist movements.

And that ties in nicely with this:  (Language Warning, NSFW if you work in a civilized office)



Socialism is death, both literally and figuratively.

So the Oscars were last night

Didn't watch.  Couldn't care less.  I know that Crowder did an Oscars show, replete with mockery and drinking games, but my liver can only take so much.  I'm glad we have cultural warriors willing to take the hit.

The thing is, I stopped watching the Oscars a long time ago.  Hell, I was just out of high school, and not really into politics, and even back then I knew that the awards were crap, the show itself was crap, and the entire thing seemed like one big exercise in mutual masturbation that only half of the actual attendees seemed to care about.

Kinda like the Grammies.  When Milli Vanilli won a Grammy, I stopped caring about the entire award.  Forever.  Yeah, yeah, it was revoked when the people who apparently did too much cocaine to notice that guys with thick accents and deep voices could sing perfect English two octaves higher woke up and went "Aw, shit!".  But I didn't care anymore. The Oscars are the same way.  I used to watch a lot of movies.  It was an event for me to go to the theater and see the latest comedy, or action flick. But the Oscar for "best" movie would always go to so crappy film I had never heard of, but that all the right people (read drug addicts, pedophiles and various other creeps) in Hollywood all loved because they were drug addicts, pedophiles and various other creeps.

So yeah.  Stopped watching the Oscars long before I got political, because it was a crappy show that loved crappy movies, and I didn't think they were really worth all that much attention.  So now that all of Hollywood is "woke" and loves to tell me how much they hate me because I'm a conservative male, traditional Catholic, and mostly white?  That just gives me even more incentive to not watch a damn thing.  And I mean not watch a damn thing.  The last time I was in a movie theater was for the Second Hobbit movie.  When did that come out?  2014?  2015?  And we went because someone had given us a gift certificate for that theater chain.  The last time I actually PAID to see a movie?  I think it was Avengers Age of Ultron, at the second run theater when I was on Vacation.  Other than that?  Nope.  I don't watch the work of people who hate me.

So, I don't care who won best picture, or actor, or whatever.  And judging from what I see around the country, there's vastly more people who feel the way I do than not.

Worst. Russian. Asset. EVAR!

Gonna be pushing natural gas out of the USA.  You know who the biggest loser is going to be on that?  Russia.

All the NeverTrump cucks who wail about how Trump just isn't the "right guy" are the same idiots, backstabbers and swamp creatures who never managed to get half of Trump's accomplishments when they were in office.  And all the Leftist morons, half-wits, slack-jaws and drooling retards who scream "RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA" at every opportunity were the same ones giving Putin everything he wanted when they were in power.

But now Trump has managed to get more done, against greater odds, than reluctant voters like me ever hoped to dare, and has managed to do real, long-term damage to Russian power.

He's the worst Russian asset, ever.

Things that history has taught us

Yup.

Check this list out

Hundreds of fake hate crimes.  Hate crime hoaxes, just like Juicy Smollet, or whatever the hell the gay black actor's name is.

I guarantee that you can think of more than just that list.  This is why I refuse to believe any claims of a hate crime, or "alt-right" criminal action, until concrete, definitive proof has been offered.  The Left lies.  It lies constantly.  It's entire ideology is based upon lies, and it's claims of victimhood are just so many lies again, aided and abetted by the Democrat Media Complex.

To hell with them all.

Mmmhmmm.

So much for non-political posts

The Democrats really don't give a shit about gun crime.

Democrats this week approved legislation to require background checks for essentially all sales and transfers of firearms -- but rejected GOP-led efforts to amend the legislation to alert law enforcement authorities when gun buyers, including illegal immigrants, fail those background checks.

So stopping gun crime is GOOD, but stopping gun crime from illegal aliens is BAD.

Democrats care more about illegal aliens than they do about American citizens.  And they prove it every day.

Oh Holy Crap this was me

And we got between 10 and 25 cents a bale, which was good money.

But those crazy bastards are in short sleeves.  You always put on a long sleeve shirt, even in August, because that hay will cut the ever-living shit out of your arms.  Short sleeves = bleeding forearms.

Up where I lived it was 1.5 tons of hay per horse for the winter.  Mom had two horses,  Neighbors had more, and they always needed help bucking bales.  This is how I earned some cash during the summer.  Brings back memories, it does....
