Two things so I don't lose them: first from the People's Republic of NweeffingYork'

I doubt he's that tone deaf, I think he's showing his contempt for all those nasty non-believers he so despises.


Second, over the pond, a big demonstration is going on, and here's something on it.  If you have a X account, the post is here.

I'd bet the Brit .gov and media clowns are doing everything they can to paint this i n the worst possible light, assuming they'll talk about it at all.

Either is stupid.  These people have had it.

Oh yeah, this'll be fun

You thought a lot of the 'assistance' scammers were howling at having the funds cut off?

Post here.
Next question is how many clowns in Congress who are either corrupt or connected(can't really be one or the other, can it?) will be screaming?

Speaking of corrupt and screaming, let's go to the 'news' the other day:

Allow me to characterize the bizarre colloquy on Sunday morning:

Kristin Welker: I won't allow you to talk about Abdul El Sayed's family terror ties because it might affect public opinion. [Pitch increases] I won't allow you to talk about Abdul El Sayed's family terror ties! [Pitch increase 2X] It's not fair to talk about Abdul El Sayed's family's terror ties! [add a Sam Kinnison chorus of ah! ah! ah's! here]

Sen. Tim Scott: Have you lost your ever-loving mind? Of COURSE I'm going to talk about El Sayed's family terror ties, you weirdo.
Yes, he will.  And did.  And they should continue to do so, no matter how much the 'news' clowns hate it.

Yeah, a lot of things have moved ahead,

that's a fact

And yes, I know the Democrats are having fits and promising everything they want to reverse if they take the House and Senate in the next election(damn good reasons to not let that happen).  

Speaking of, Insty pointed to this:

Something big is about to happen with deportations in America. You should be ready for this…

I just spoke with a senior DHS official. They shared deportation numbers with me that frankly stunned me.

+27,000 deportations. Last week.

+3,600 a day average.

Tracking for 1.4 million deportations across the calendar year.

+69,000 illegals are in DHS jails waiting to be deported at this moment.

And you haven’t heard a blip about it in the corporate press. Why? My DHS source says “stealth tactics.”

“We’re everywhere in every major city. We tell no one. Plain clothes. Beat up old cars. Quick work. Tactical strikes. No one sees anything. No drama. No tears. No media circus. You’re just going back home where you belong.”

And here’s where it gets insane…

DHS tells me blue states are quietly and very secretly working with the Trump administration to assist in the mass deportation of criminals. The criminal alien issue has become so “politically toxic” and “costly” that Democrat Governors have given the green light to Sheriffs and Police Chiefs in major blue cities to drop their illegals off with undercover ICE for removal.

It’s happening. You just don’t see it.

We can track if these numbers hold, but as for now this is a historic white pill and exactly what MAGA voted for.
Why yes, it is.  

"I am proud of my African heritage"

he says, not mentioning the family history that black Americans might not like.

And, last I heard, most Egyptians have real problems with being described as black.  But hey, he's a politician, what sells works, right?


Californicated fornicates things up worse.  For the peasant's own good, of course.




It's too bad for David Morens that he didn't get one of those blanket pardons that President Joe Biden handed out to his former colleague, Anthony Fauci. Morens, a former senior advisor at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has pleaded guilty to taking part in a scheme to hide federal records during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Speaking of such, know someone who believes every word- still- that came out of Fauci's mouth, and her standard response to pointing out a bunch of his lies is both "What about Trump's lies?" and "Everything from Fox News is lies."
I'd point out that damn little I post on came from Fox, and those I have are cross-checked, and 'Do you actually think that's the only place I get information?', but it's not worth it.

Short version: "Until the stuff is put in writing for you to read, don't count on anything dealing with suppressors and SBRs and SBSs."

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to do some constructive things that involve cleaning.

If she comes to this part of the country I'll have to try Link fixed

to see her.  

I hate doing something dumb like that

Like it or not, guy, that covers it

 Copied from Insty:

Sounds like Portugal's government is run by at least some people smarter

than those in Spain(and some here):
Portugal is banning burqas and niqabs in public places, with fines up to 4,000 euros. Muslim men who force their wives or female relatives to wear one will also face 3 years in prison. Burqas were described as a ‘symbol of women’s oppression and a threat to public safety.’

How did Elon Musk get so rich?

Sits down next to a couple of engineers at lunch, listens to what they're talking about, and solves a problem.  
Between bites.

Occasional-Cortex, YOU can't earn a billion dollars, but there are some who can.  And you hate them for it.

I've said Mike Rowe is a wonder,

and he just got a big hand in getting kids to look at the trades.  First saw mention at Kim's place, and took this from Rowe's Bookface page:
Truth is, this check has been distracting me all week. Not only did it cause me to abandon my phone in a public toilet moments before takeoff and then repeatedly misidentify the man who returned it to me, it will probably cause me to misidentify the people presenting me with this generous donation. Three genuine patriots, who I will now attempt to properly thank.

To my right, The Honorable Michael Duffey, Under Secretary of War for Acquisition and Sustainment.
To my left, The Honorable Michael Cadenazzi, Assistant Secretary of War for Industrial Base Policy.
And to his left, Dr. Kristin Schaaf Director of Programs for Warfighting Investments, Resourcing, and Execution.
Together, these individuals have spearheaded a long overdue initiative to reinvigorate the skilled trades. The initiative is called BuildFreedom.US, and I am proud to support their efforts, just as they are supporting mine. In short, Build Freedom is both an online resource for job seekers, and a public awareness campaign designed to shine a light on hundreds of thousands of AI-Proof, six-figure jobs currently open in the defense industrial base. These jobs can be found at BuildFreedom.US, along with work ethic scholarships from The Mike Rowe Works Foundation.

If you’ve followed my exploits since the Dirty Jobs days, you know that I pitched a similar campaign to Congress in 2011. Back then, the skills gap was wide and getting wider, and I was worried that our workforce was headed for a colossal imbalance. Well, sixteen years later, the government got back to me! And frankly, not a moment too soon. Hundreds of thousands of essential jobs are waiting to be filled, and the DoW is now taking affirmative steps to reinvigorate the skilled trades on a national level. I’m glad they are, and I’m happy to help them spread the word. I’ll have lots more to say about Build Freedom in the coming weeks and months, and if you live in Texas, Pennsylvania, or Michigan, you’ll likely be seeing me all over the place. With luck, the campaign will spread quickly, and the scholarship money I’ve just deposited will be quickly spent and replenished, as we train the next generation of skilled workers our country so urgently needs. It really is an honor to participate in this endeavor, and I want to thank the people in the photo one more time, especially Aliscia Andrews and Matt Draper, who will bear the daily brunt of making Build Freedom a national success. Closing the skills gap is now a matter of national security, and this administration is the first to accept my offer to help make that a reality. Good luck to you all, and Happy Independence Day.

(And by “you all,” I include Matt/Zach/Corey, for his/their role in getting me to the Pentagon in time to accept this check. Whatever your name really is, I couldn’t have done it without you.)

Starmer is stepping down

Finally.  And, of course, after he got more final insults and threats to anyone who wouldn't kiss his and Labour's ass.

I'm curious just how he'll word his "You bloody bigoted and racist peasants have let me down!" announcement, too.  From some pictures I saw of the rally today- of which there are damn few*- I'm wondering if the numbers were so bad he was afraid, finally, not to quit.

*I looked at a couple of Brit 'news' sites where there was not one mention of it, let alone any pictures.  Got to keep kissing the Stalin wannabes asses right up to the end, I guess.

Agreed: ' Do unto rotten feds as rotten feds would do unto you. (link fixed)

Full process. Starting with pre-dawn raid and perp walk.'

Oh yes, very much so.

Further sign of disaster in Washington,

And a sign of hope from Sweden, of all places

And yeah, I'll bet that has all the right people screaming in agony

(click on to embiggen)

Three things to note before I go out to take care of business

First, the Southern Poverty Law Center is just a big a bunch of garbage as you ever thought.

Oh, look who a 'media bias group' hired to say the left-wing sites are more trustworthy...

I don't know about 'bigger than the war', but it IS a really big deal.

You're part of the Iranian regime 'security' forces

You've spent a lot of time beating, murdering, raping, and torturing anyone who does, well, anything you don't approve of.

Now you have no air defenses, and the people who hate your guts can get word to the Israelis "We're looking at a bunch of them at this place", and place a large target on you.

Oh yeah, that works.

From a discussion at Fecesbook based on this picture

One of my questions about the asshats running that country is
I wonder of the idiots in charge have any real idea how much they damage the future of the country with these actions? Or if they just don't care?

Guy's response
why would they care? They're Arab occupiers presiding over a Persian colony
True, which brings up my question:
One of the questions I have for the 'decolonize' people: "Why aren't you calling to decolonize all the people conquered by Moslems?"
And every time someone starts that "Decolonize!" crap, they need to be asked that question.

And personally, I think said people in charge, and all their minions performing these murders, need to be hanged.  Or borrow an old idea from Vlad:

It appears the Labour creation has come around

and is being used to kick them in the ass.  Hard.
People saw a perfect accidental parody of how the establishment treats ordinary dissent:
If you question orthodoxy, you’re not wrong — you’re dangerous.
If you wave a Union Jack, you’re not patriotic — you’re extreme.
If you ask questions, you need monitoring.

So people did what the internet always does when power looks stupid:
They laughed.
They memed.
They stripped the moral panic naked.

Now we’re told there’s a “highly coordinated hate network” behind it all.
Sure. Or maybe — stay with me —
people are done being lectured by institutions that despise them.


And, taking the lesson, there are people in other countries doing the same thing.
And Amelia isn’t limited to the British. Creators from other nations are already generating their own variants. Germany has “Maria, Brazil has Ana, France has Jeanne, and just today The Netherlands gained Emma. Different aesthetics, same function — a feminine symbol of national continuity in a culture that insists such continuity is either imaginary or dangerous.

To my English-speaking followers: You asked, and I listened! 🇩🇪🇬🇧

Due to massive demand, I’ve added English subtitles to the German Amelia/Maria video. Now the message can be understood worldwide

Please share this and help it go viral. Let’s reach everyone!
Well done, people.  Keep it going.

Holy crap, sounds like the assistance to the Persians is ongoing,

including dealing with regime commanders.

"Oh no!

Anyway..."
Cuba says 32 Cuban officers were killed in US operation in Venezuela

There's reason Larry Correia said 'The moral compass of the left is a windsock':

Oh, this must piss off the Brit PM.  Assuming it doesn't scare hell out of him.


It seems that two news agencies- NYeffingTimes and Washington Post- had information about the operation leaked to them, but they- unexpectedly- did NOT publish it prior to the strike.  Which is nice for a change.

Why not?

I can think of two reasons:

1. There may be a few people there who actually think putting US troops and a mission in danger is a bad idea.

2. "You know what our ratings are with the average someone?  Troops get wounded, or killed, or crippled because we put this out, they'll want to hang us!  And what do you think Trump will have to say about us? "

I think 2 is more likely.  And I hope there is some very careful digging to find how WHO leaked it to them, so the bastard can be punished appropriately(I'll leave you to decide just what that would be).

About the EffingBI and 'Do you want people to say "I won't do that" instead of following orders?

 question, yes.  And yes, I know that's a "Sir, I cannot in good conscience do this" that can get you transferred, possibly fired.  Or it would be "If my orders are to do this no matter what, I'll give you my resignation.

That's the same on the officers in charge of the pile of shit known as the retreat from Afghanistan; some of those high-rankers could have resigned their commission rather than carry out stupid/insane orders.  

No, they didn't.  They should have.
