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....

Shot fired.

UNAUTHORIZED.TV will soon be accessible on over 1000 devices including iOS devices, Android devices, MACs, PCs, streaming media boxes such as Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, and Nexus Player.

Technofascist shitwads like YouTube and Twitter have outright banned enough people for the simple fact of being conservative that folks are just building their own networks now.  Why post on YouTube when you know that they'll do everything they can to shut you down for your political views?

Good.  Fuck YouTube.

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.
