We all knew it. The government lied about it, and we knew it was a lie.

 The Kung Flu came from a lab, thanks to US funding from that demonic imp Fauci.

But according to a bombshell report from the Sunday Times (UK), COVID-19 was indeed the result of genetic engineering carried out by the Chinese military.

Why would U.S. health officials want to cover this up? Because the funding for this effort originated in the United States, coming from the National Institute of Health via the EcoHealth Alliance. The Chinese military got involved with the coronavirus research around 2017 once significant progress was being made in gain-of-function research.

How long have I and many others said this in the face of the government lies?  A long, long time.

Never shrink from the truth.

Bloody Well Right

Stolen from Kim du Toit, who has a rather um...  eclectic range of music that he apricates.  But this one is a good 'un.

Yesterday purely sucked

 I was up ripping out fences at 0630, because the Ragin' Mom was having a tree crew come take down a number of trees that were either damaged, dying or dead and they were going to be dropped right on top of the fencing around the pasture.

So.  Ripping out fences purely sucks.

Then the crew shows up and gets to work.  Now my job is to clear slash and move ten-foot logs that are roughly two to three feet in diameter.  Screwed up my left leg doing that, by being a knucklehead who thinks he's still a young buck and using muscle instead of brains.  That purely sucked.

Oh, and because the Ragin' Mom has told me in no uncertain terms that I'll be selling the spices and sauces I make at the local farmer's market, after a morning of hard labor I got to go stand on my feet for five hours.

By the time I got home yesterday, I could barely walk.

Feeling better today, but I have to go move more piles of wood just to clear a path to the barn.  We'll see how I feel tonight.

Hey, retirement, amirite?

As an aside, here's a little run-down of how Goolag and the America-hating marxists who run it are shutting down ads and money-making ability on conservative websites.  They really do hate you, and they hate America.  Personally, if the GOP had any balls at all instead of being spineless slugs who play at failure theater, they would remove Section 230 protection from Goolag, Fecesbook and every other online publisher (not platforms, they've proven that they're not platforms due to their censorship), and then let the people who've been censored take the fuckers to court.

America does better when Goolag dies, even just a tiny bit of it.

These people haven't learned a thing

 Bud Light is sponsoring an "All Ages Drag Show" in Arizona.  The people running these companies hate you, and they think you're a knuckle-dragging moron.

The “all-ages Pride event” will reportedly happen in Flagstaff, Arizona. Titled “Pride of the Pines,” the event will include drag queens and other LGBTQ-themed performances. According to Fox News, the event lists Bud Light as one of its corporate sponsors and is even featured prominently on one of the posters. It will take place on June 17.

Wait, ONE of its corporate sponsors?  So other companies have decided to to stick their dick into a hornet's nest as well?

“Other big-name companies sponsoring the all-ages event for Pride Month include Old Navy, Toyota and Coca-Cola USA, according to an event flyer. The Northern Arizona Pride Association lists a ‘No Nudity-City Ordinance’ for ‘all gender forms’ as one of the regulations for the park that the event will take place in.”

Do you understand just how badly the morons running these companies hate you, hate Christianity, hate Western values and hate America?  For them, they'll do anything to keep getting invited to the right parties and moving in the right circles.  They'll drive their organizations into the ground to the applause of all the smart people who have impeccable credentials.  I've watched it happen.  And I've watched the same credentialed failures keep moving from organization to organization, never succeeding at anything other than losing money, and always failing upward.

As Breitbart News reported, Bud Light Vice President of Marketing Alissa Heinerscheid was placed on a leave of absence for her role in pushing the ad. Her boss, Daniel Blake, went on a leave of absence almost immediately after.

Let me ask the hypothetical question if I may.  If you were a person of some importance at your job, and you not only lost the company billions of dollars in market value and drove away 25% of your customer base, would you get to keep your job?

We all know the answer, don't we?  Hell NO you wouldn't be able to keep your job, and any boss who actually cared about his company would fire you so fast that your shadow wouldn't catch up to you until you were halfway home.

And yet the two woke cretins in charge, Heinerscheid and Blake, are NOT fired are they?  Nope.  "Leave of Absence".  Which is corporate speak for "Let's keep paying them and hide them until the morons settle down a little, and then we'll bring them back in al quiet like."

One, this shows that they don't give a fuck about what you think.  They hate you.  They hate your lifestyle, your customs, your traditions, your values.  

Two, this is even more egregious from a marketing standpoint and shows just how horrible that woke hag Heinerscheid is at her job.  What kind of marketing "professional" is so clueless about her customers that they literally drive away the people who buy their product?  Bud Light is radioactive now.  And again, and I'm going to keep pounding this fact home, Heinerscheid STILL HAS HER JOB.  Because they hate you, they hate your values, they hate your religion, and they hate that you are allowed to live the way you want to live.  They don't care how bad Heinerscheid is, and they don't care how many customers they lose.  They have their woke narrative to push, and they'll push it at the exclusion of everything else.

Again, they'll happily drive Bud Light into insolvency if it allows them access to the credentialed social circles they run in, where everybody knows each other and they all went to the same schools and they all just know somehow that those slope-headed Jesus Freaks in flyover country need to be taught what to think.

Anyways, I need more coffee and the dogs need a walk, so....  

UPDATE:  Found at Ace of Spades:  

They won't stop until it becomes too painful for them to keep repeating their actions.

Chiquita Banana

 

Let me tell you about James

 James was born the eldest of nine kids in a Irish Catholic family.  James' dad was in the Navy, and James just happened to be born in 1940, so his dad was gone quite a bit of the time trying to teach bad people the consequences of their actions.  James excelled at running, winning countless meets as a high schooler, and then holding state records in the one-mile an two-mile events when he attended college.  When there's nine kids in the family and your mom calls out "DINNER TIME!" you make sure you're the first one to the table, because that's a situation of "The Quick and The Hungry". 

After college, James decided that he wanted a vacation, so he joined Uncle Sam's Misguided Children, and was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant.  Since being an officer in the USMC wasn't hard enough, he took up running marathons as a hobby.  That lasted until knee surgery in his 60's.  After that he took up bike riding and competed in several races, because those damn kids needed to be put in their place.

At one point while he was stationed in Norfolk, VA, he injured his ankle.  This is important because while swimming in a pool as part of his recovery, he was hit on by a female life guard who thought he looked cute.  They got married about three years later.  They had two boys, much to his great surprise.  James once told me that if he had known that sex led to kids, he would have just joined the priesthood and remained celibate.  I believed him when he said this.

James did two tours in Viet Nam.  It was not a fun time.  That's all that needs to be said about that.

After twenty two years of service, James figured it was time to be called "Mister", so he retired and went back to school.  He worked in the computer industry in a time when MS DOS was the king of operating systems.  Along the way he did his best to instill honor, work ethics and integrity into his two boys.  It stuck.  One went on to join the service, and the other ended up becoming the President of the company that he had started working for decades ago just to pay a few bills.

James was diagnosed with cancer around 2014.  He informed his family of this by titling his email "Well, damn".  He successfully fought it off twice.  But when the Covidiacy made the medical establishment lose its collective mind, things got a little out of hand, and cancer started winning.  James' two boys spent countless hours at the family home making sure that James and his wife were taken care of, and that James would be able to live life as he wanted to live it.  He spent the last part of his life on his property, looking out at the forest that he loved and surrounded by family that he loved and who loved him.  Have you heard the joke "An Introvert is someone who, when a pandemic happens, doesn't notice a change in their lifestyle"?  That was James.  All he needed was his wife, his sons, and a couple of his Marine Corps League buddies.

James lost his battle with cancer today.  He died with his wife of over fifty years by his side, and his younger son praying the rosary at his bedside every morning.

He taught me how to drive.  How to run a chainsaw and fell a tree.  He taught me the joy in laughing.  Jokes and practical jokes and how poking fun at a problem makes the problem easier to deal with.  He taught me that freedom and responsibility are both sides of the same coin.  He hammered a work ethic into me.  When I first enlisted, he was the officer who swore me in.  That picture remains in the dining room to this day, because that's how proud of me he was.  He raised me and mentored me and guided me, and as his health failed I did everything I could to return what he did for me in service to him, to make sure he didn't ever get put into a nursing home.  

He was a prickly perfectionist.  When I was a teen I got t-boned by a driver who had ran a red light.  He got pissed off at me for not looking both ways a fourth or fifth time.  I can say that a lot of my unhealthy mental habits come from him.  The perfectionism.  Taking the blame for things because if somehow, somewhere if I had done some thing that I wasn't aware of I could have made X or Y happen.

But he built the parts of me that are the best.  The integrity.  The ability to stand my ground when I'm right, and to acknowledge my mistakes when I'm wrong.  The ability to just get the job done, because dammit that's what a proper man does.  

I'm going to miss him.  And maybe if I live a good enough life, I'll get to see him again.

Posting is going to be rather light.  I'm sure you understand.

Kill the system

 

D-Day

Day by Day is doing their annual fundraiser

 I've tossed in what clams I can afford, given the loss in income I have right now.  If you enjoy Chris' art, and I do, maybe help him get through another year.  

Somebody at Goolag doesn't like me

 They're going through my posts one by one and either deleting them or putting them behind "content warnings".

You know, at some people people reach their limit of bullshit.  And I've reached mine.  Mr. Porretto from Liberty's Torch has made multiple offers for me to post on his blog, and I'm taking him up on it.  I'm going to post on both blogs until close to the end of the month, and then I'm going to stop posting here and post over there.

Goolag can kiss my ass.

Mark Milley needs to spend the rest of his life at Ft. Leavenworth

 Stripped of rank to Private E1, forfeiture of all pay and benefits, and confined to the disciplinary barracks.

[Trump’s former chief of staff Mark] Meadows’ autobiography includes an account of what appears to be the same meeting, during which Trump “recalls a four-page report typed up by (Trump’s former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) Mark Milley himself. It contained the general’s own plan to attack Iran, deploying massive numbers of troops, something he urged President Trump to do more than once during his presidency.

Mark Milley has presided over the woke-ification of the US Military, the degrading of standards when it comes to actual combat training, the abandonment of American citizens allies in Afghanistan, the abandonment of billions of dollars of weapons and equipment to the Taliban (which is why we now see AT-4s popping up at the Southern Border), and of course, the disastrous jab mandate.  And now we find out he was pushing Donald Trump to attack Iran.  Trump obviously said No Thanks, but what the fuck was this god-damned clown doing pushing for a full-fledged war?  

That was a rhetorical question.  We all know he was trying to get more money for the military-industrial complex.  After all, his seven-figure job at Lockheed or Rayethon or whoever ain't gonna just pay for itself.

Mark Milley is a traitor to his country, a back-stabbing traitor to his Soldiers, and a complete and total Clown World neo-con who only cares about himself.  He should be put in solitary and left to rot.

We all have dreams

 

I might just have to root for the Rangers

 They're the one MLB team that doesn't put on a Pride Night.

June is Pride Month for the LGBTQ+ community. As a result, many Major League Baseball teams across the country are planning to host Pride Night celebrations at their ballparks – or similar promotions that celebrate the LGBTQ+ community. But one team has made it clear that they will not hold such a celebration: the Texas Rangers.

While every other team across Major League Baseball has held a Pride Night or similar promotional event, the Dallas Morning News reports that Texas Rangers have not hosted a promotion to welcome and celebrate the LGBTQ+ in over two decades. Back in 2003, the team did invite several LGBTQ+ groups to the ballpark, according to The Advocate, but it was not officially marketed as any specific promotion and was met with anti-gay protests. The team has not hosted a similar event since.

Good on 'em.  The more you feed into this woke bullshit, the more the woke crowd will expect you to participate.  Until you end up like Bud Light and Target, losing your customers and wondering why your stock price keeps dropping.

You want to know how badly Bud Light hates their own customers?  That VP of marketing still hasn't been fired yet.  How many billions of dollars do you have to lose your company before they fire you?  If any of us had performed an action that lost our company a quarter of their sales, would we still have a job?  You know we wouldn't.  But that Heinersheid woman (apologies for the mis-spelling, but I didn't bother to look up her last name) tanked A-B stock, lost at least a quarter of sales for Bud Light that her competitors happily gobbled up, and she's still employed.

Because the over-credentialed Ivy League trash running A-B hate you.  And they don't think she was wrong.

Anyways...  I'm betting Bud Light sales at Ranger games is down as well.  

Lloyd Austin is a worthless piece of shit, and everybody knows it

 Especially the Chinese.

Australian Defence Minister Richard Marles met his Chinese counterpart, Li Shangfu, on the sidelines of the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore after Li refused to meet U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.

Marles confirmed the meeting on Twitter, calling the meeting another “important step” towards stablising the relationship between the two countries.

Why should China meet with Lloyd "I fuck over the troops as much as possible" Austin?  China owns his boss.  China has nothing to fear from the blithering fuckstain who introduced trannys and pronounds into the military.  Lloyd Austin is a worthless racist piece of political shit who is destroying the US military as fast has he can, and as such Lloyd Austin is already doing what China wants him to do.

Why does China need a meeting with their puppet by proxy?

China also knows there's no danger of snubbing Lloyd Austin, since Lloyd Austin would have to grow a spine to mount a response.  And the only people that Lloyd Austin is interested in attacking is the military troops who don't bow to his bullshit.

Bah.  If I were in China's shoes, I wouldn't meet with him either.  The stench of his incompetence and idiocy would take weeks to clear the air.

Stolen

 

Back to the grind that hasn't really stopped.

 Slowly going through boxes and boxes and even more boxes.  Throwing shit away that should have been tossed before it got put into boxes.  

And then working on the "to-do" lists.

Yeah, posting is going to be light.

Stupid, unforced, self-inflicted wounds

 Looks like Trump is the same Trump.

Trump decided to attack McEnany, who is now a co-host of Fox News’ Outnumbered, where she reported on polling data from Iowa indicating that Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis is “closing the gap” with Donald Trump since officially announcing his candidacy last week.

Trump’s use of “milktoast” is an apparent misspelling of the term “milquetoast,” which refers to a timid or weak person. How exactly can Trump justify using such a term to describe McEnany, given how she effectively and aggressively handled the media during her time as White House Press Secretary?

Just how many bridges is Trump going to burn, attacking people who were loyal to him through some pretty nasty shit?

This ain't hypothetical.  This is happening.  McEnany was a rock star for the Trump administration, and all she did was read a poll on TV and Trump loses it?

THAT is why Ron DeSantis has a chance in the primary.  Because he wouldn't do shit like that.

There's a restaurant in town

 That has huckleberry glazed bacon.

In comes in a cup like this, only huckleberry glazed.

Holy crap.  It should come with an addiction warning.

Family left today

 These visits are normally my brother and I working like animals to accomplish what my parents need done.  This was no exception.  Man, I'm tired.

They all fucking lied

 Herdy-derp-derp-follow the SCIENCE you RETHUGLICAN derp-derp-derp!

More than 300 COVID-19-related articles have been retracted — long after they’d done their damage — due to a lack of scientific truthfulness and ethical guidelines, according to Retraction Watch, a website that monitors retractions of science-related articles.

A total of 330 COVID-related papers have been retracted thus far.

So here's the way things went:  These people just MADE SHIT UP, got it published, said "LOOK AT THE PUBLISHED SCIENCE YOU SCIENCE DENIER!" and now that they're being called out they just memory-hole their lies and bullshit.

A paper published by the University of Manchester “found” that COVID was associated with vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus. Two years later they did a 180 and admitted that they assumed this to be the case.

But follow the science, right?  Follow the science you knuckle-draggers!

Not a single person who screams about "MUH SCIENCE!" should ever be trusted, and quite frankly all of these lying liars should be fired, forced out on the street and begging for the next meal.

Is it gonna happen?  No, we all know that these people will be hanging around to lie about whatever else will help make huge money for big pharma.  The real bottom line is that WE WERE RIGHT and THEY FUCKING LIED.

Fuck, I need more coffee.
