What Would Happen If....

If you are a registered Republican or a registered Democrat, does your party actual represent YOU? Unless you own a pharmaceutical company, are a bankster or a Wall Street broker, have a cushy gubbermint/union job (or gubbermint/union retirement check), the answer is: probably not.

So...what would happen if all the cart-pullers registered Independent or Libertarian, and quit financing/supporting the Washington uni-party?

Think about it while I make the popcorn.

Election Day Open Thread

These are hilarious! I love a good meme.

 I don't know where that bit of text after the second image came from, but I can't figure out how to delete it, so we'll live with it. 

 

I looked for memes ridiculing Corbyn. I guess google didn't want them circulating on election day. 

A Moment's Reflection

It is with great sadness that we mourn the loss of Bob Owens, a true patriot and a man who took many hard hits for the team. He and I corresponded in those early heady days of blogging and making connections; IIRC he even posted here a few times. His blog Bearing Arms was a champion for 2nd amendment gun rights. Although I didn't know him well, and haven't spoken with him in years, my heart is heavy. Bob was a rock, and an all-around good man. He'll be missed.

I don't know what demons drove him to end his young life. We all have our battles. Bob, we'll do our best to carry on the fight, but your shoes will be hard to fill. Rest in peace, dear man. We've got this. 

Heartfelt condolences to Bob's family and many friends. 

The Last Crusade

Trump's win has shaken things up with the right as well as the left. What do you all think about this post by author John C. Wright? Is it a lone voice in the darkness or a rallying cry that will be taken up by the men of Christendom?

"We are behind enemy lines. A darkness is haunting the world. The lamps are going out. As the lamps die one by one, the darkness grows.

For too long, far too long, we have patiently watched the denigration, the desecration, and the destruction of all cherished things in life, great and small. We have seen our freedoms eroded, our wealth robbed, our culture corrupted, our laws and customs turned from loyal watchdogs to ravenous wolves, trespassing on the very rights they were erected to protect.
Nor is the corrosion limited to politics. The political order is the fruit of but one branch; the culture is the trunk; the soil is the moral foundation of the people. The bedrock is faith.
But in these days the rock is shattered, the soil is poisoned, the trunk is hollow, so the fruit is maggoty and putrid.  The religious, moral and cultural sources from which politics spring have also been savaged, beaten, and exiled. A whole world has been buried under a bottomless trashheap of lies and curses.

All branches of life are afflicted. The enemy is victorious on all fronts."

NOT GUILTY

"A federal jury on Thursday found Ammon Bundy, his brother Ryan Bundy and five co-defendants not guilty of conspiring to prevent federal employees from doing their jobs through intimidation, threat or force during the 41-day occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

The Bundy brothers and occupiers Jeff Banta and David Fry also were found not guilty of having guns in a federal facility. Kenneth Medenbach was found not guilty of stealing government property, and a hung jury was declared on Ryan Bundy's charge of theft of FBI surveillance cameras."

But they're still in jail, and LaVoy Finicum is still 6 feet under. Is a murder trial in the wings for the SOBs that shot him in cold blood?

Also, compare the original article to the "updated" article. It's no wonder Americans loathe the press. And the feds. (Did you read where federal officers tackled and tasered one of the defense attorneys?)

Terror In France

Islam's war against civilization continues; this time it nearly killed our friend Alison and her son.  She shared this on FB a few minutes ago:

"The scene outside our front fucking door last night. The golden lit up building in the centre where the truck is finally stopped, riddled with bullets is the front of our block. The front is a hotel and at the back its apartments facing north. It's our home. Go ahead and tell me that this is work place violence, a lone wolf attack or an issue with gun legislation. Just go the fuck ahead."

Earlier in the evening she had posted this:

"We are safe. All the images you see are right where we live. The underpass is on the corner of our street. We live behind the Promenade facing the hills but the building is on the Promenade. We were being buzzed and didn't let people in because we had no idea what had happened. I was planning to take Joseph to the fireworks but it wound up too late and I didn't feel like going. The fireworks display is a huge display every year. The whole city is patrolled daily by armed soldiers. How this happened is incredible. It's surreal seeing your building on the news. This was a family event. Sick sick sick."

Breitbart is once again leading the way with great coverage.

At least 80 people have died and dozens injured during Bastille Day celebrations in Nice, France after a truck ran into a large crowd. Police have announced they are treating the incident as “an attack.”

Justice For LaVoy?

We might get some accountability regarding the cowardly murder of LaVoy Finicum by FBI thugs.

The federal investigation into an FBI agent's apparent firing of gunshots at Robert "LaVoy" Finicum and the alleged FBI tampering with evidence at the scene has gone to a grand jury.

Here's the slow-motion video of the botched ambush and murder of Finicum with his hands in the air.

Hell, Yes!

Oy, can't hardly believe it.  So happy.  Go Britain Go.  Let's bring back the British eccentricity and uniqueness as shown in these videos.  Brilliant stuff.

Trump Mauls Hillary

This is a fantastic speech. Absolutely fantastic.  Even if you despise Trump, I hope you'll take 41 minutes to listen to this.

A Battle Won In The Culture Wars

To the Rabid Puppies, Sad Puppies, Dread Ilk, and Vile Faceless Minions: well done lads. Well done indeed!

The "Best Related Work" section left me howling with laughter. And getting "My Little Pony" on the ballot is sheer brilliance! Comment from Al:

What is weird about all this as that in the entire spectrum of the culture wars a group of scifi nerds, fantasy geeks and video game enthusiasts are winning......they are actually taking ground back from the left and they aren't stopping for sh$t...these guys take scalps, burn their enemies bodies, and p!ss on their ashes and move on to the next target of total annihilation..they are unmerciful and brutal.........beautiful...many people on the right should take notice...this is a case study in winning and what winning is......something the right sorely needs to learn.... 

This is a brutal beating down of the nest of special little snowflakes that infest the sci-fi/fantasy genre. We've had enough of their sickness. Draw your swords mates...the war continues.

Back To Politics

It's been a nice break, but now it's time to jump back in with both feet. There is too much at stake. From The Conservative Treehouse, a rundown of the situation after Wisconsin:

Last night Team Cruz won 36 and Team Trump won 6.  So, after last night:

• Donald Trump 758 delegates
• Ted Cruz 505 delegates
• Trump ahead by 253 delegates

There are 769 Delegates remaining in the upcoming primary states.  In order to get to the magic number of 1237:

• Donald Trump needs 479 to clinch. (758 current + 479 need = 1237 goal)
• Ted Cruz needs 732 to clinch.  (505 current + 732 need = 1237 goal).

There are only 769 Delegates remaining.

The Next Contest is New York on Tuesday April 19th with a whopping 95 delegates(winner take all if single candidate 50% +1 vote).

If Donald Trump can win New York (all CD’s) with 50% of the vote, it will mean:

♦ A) Trump will lead with 853 delegates (only needing 384 of the remaining 674)
-and-
♦ B) Ted Cruz will be mathematically knocked out of the race to 1,237.  Cruz would still need 732 and there are only 674 remaining after New York.

Milo The Magnificent...

er...I mean...fabulous!

This column made my day.

"It’s now clear that progressives, lecturing the rest of us on how we ought to live from their bully pulpits in the media, academia and the entertainment industry, are terrified of the internet and don’t want to know what we have to say. Well, tough. In 2016, it’s time for the counterculture to go to war. Over the past year, I’ve seen people from all over the world stand up and fight back against the authoritarian, censorious world being built around us."

This whole piece made me want to pump my fist in the air. Milo, I love you. If you weren't fabulous, I'd marry you. 

Tip o' the hat to Vox Day and the Vile Faceless Minions, fighting the good fight and taking no hostages.

Shut Up, K O’Donnells Explained

This is wild. A Breitbart Meetup turned into a special ops for the police departments of two Arizona cities. Make sure you watch the video; what a rowdy, dangerous bunch of extremists!




When I think of all the left wing, socialist, communist, social justice, global warming idiocy we've all been forced to endure in classrooms, restaurants, meetings, bars, etc,, this little meetup seems rather tame. I love the attendees for their sense of humor; it IS pretty ridiculous. I hope the two police departments bill the manager of K O'Donnells for the cost of the chopper. Heh.

Mass Immigration

Here is an insightful article that Derb penned about immigration in the United States.

"Population of the British Isles, Britain and Ireland, in 1921: 47.3 million. Population of Mexico in 1921: 13.9 million. So there were only thirty percent as many Mexicans as Brits back then.

Population of the British Isles today: 68.6 million. Population of Mexico: 120.3 million. So today there are 75 percent more Mexicans than Brits. If you throw in the thirty or forty million people of Mexican origin in the U.S.A., it’s over twice as many. There are people alive today who have seen the ratio of Mexicans to Brits go from thirty percent to two hundred percent."

I once was a big supporter of immigration, but that was before I was aware of how crazy it has all gotten. I do not support American citizens financing everything from food stamps to housing to medical care for immigrants. My dad's side of the family are recent immigrants to the US from England, Germany, Sweden, and Norway (late 1800s). Back then, immigrants had to have a sponsor that would guarantee the newcomers wouldn't end up as a burden to society. They acculturated, learned to speak English, and worked their fingers to the bone to make a life in their new country. But they were Christians, and had that in common with the majority of their new Judeo/Christian countrymen. I think this is a huge factor to successful integration, but it's certainly not the only factor.

But we're lucky here, so far. In Germany and other parts of Europe, there is a free-for-all. Muslim immigrants have inundated Germany, demanding ever more handouts from working people. Why Merkel has capitulated to the angry hordes of Allah is beyond me. From here, it looks like national suicide. Nothing good will come of this when fed up Germans stand up to reclaim their land, their culture, and their hard-earned euros.

Here's more interesting reading at VD's place. Do you all think it will come down to a religious war, Christians vs Muslims? Or is it more likely to be Muslims vs. everyone who isn't? We can hope that sanity will prevail and those immigrants who can't acculturate will be shipped home to whatever sh*thole they came from, but I doubt it.

The Backlash Will Be Fierce

I'm sure you have all been following the ridiculous meltdown over the confederate battle flag, the proposed mutilation of the General Lee (merdi!), and the call to ban Gone With The Wind. Vox Day and his merry band of minions are (and have been) fighting the SJW idiots with a scorched-earth vengeance.

This is insane. Now even Gone With the Wind is under attack. After all, how can Amazon possibly sell a book and movie that shamelessly glorifies the Confederacy? And what about The Dukes of Hazzard? I mean, the car is even named the General Lee!

One thing is clear. We now know what Round Two's banner is going to be. All the SJWs have succeeded in doing is heating up the cultural war while taking one of the more potent historical symbols of the past and making it relevant to tomorrow's rebels.

And this, of course, is why it is ALWAYS a huge mistake to give an SJW so much as a single inch. 

"Tearing Down the Confederate Flag Is Just a Start"
- Nicolas Kristof, The New York Times

I expect it probably is a start of something. But not necessarily the start of what he thinks it is.

Now, I have never flown a confederate battle flag, and have never displayed a picture of Jeff Davis in my living room. Like many Americans, my ancestors fought and died on both sides of that gawd-awful conflict. However, I'll be damned if some boot-licking reprehensible toady is going to tell me what I (or my state) can run up the flagpole. DO NOT tread on me. DO NOT DO IT. That is all.

Hah!
