From the hallowed [ugh] halls of the EU comes this little homily from Poland’s Dominik Tarczynski. Watch it, and enjoy.
“You are laughing, but you are not going to be laughing for long.”
An absolute classic.

Trying not to start the public floggings
Self-Reported
So The Donald has listed his top 3 accomplishments in his first year as POTUS (Part 2):
- rebuilding the United States’ military
- securing major investments
- attaining most-favored-nation pricing for prescription drugs
Yeah, all well and good. Far be it for me to quibble, Yer Trumpness, but here’s what we need to see in Year 2:
- clean up the voting rolls, eliminate fraudulent voting and prosecute people interfering with the process — because unless you do that, everything you’ve done and plan to do will be undone by the next bunch of socialists, should they finagle their way back into power
- start putting people in jail, and by that I mean powerful people who’ve abused their position — e.g. Ilhan Omar (immigration and personal enrichment), Tim Walz (enabling welfare fraud, CCP spy), George Soros (funding insurrection, enabling vote fraud [25 similar nefarious activities omitted for brevity], and bastards of similar sort (e.g. Clintons)
- include Somali fraudsters in your “top ten” list of groups to deport, along with the drug people, child molesters and so on. (We’ve brought Africa into the U.S., and are somehow surprised that we’re becoming Africa instead of them becoming Americans? Grow up.)
- ditto Muslims of the jihad / radical type
- do not shrink from revoking U.S. citizenships, especially among anchor babies gone bad and the children of criminals.
There are more (see my Comments section for further ideas, but these will do to start).
And something to ditch: quit fucking around with Greenland. Yeah, I know: “vital strategic importance” yadda yadda yadda, but if you don’t clean up the domestic front, we won’t have anything worth defending and the Commies / Muslims will win without firing a shot.
Yeah, We All Knew That A Long Time Ago
Many people have noticed that agitators in Minneapolis are well-organized, sporting identical whistles, vests, and signs.
Is this a grassroots organic movement? Of course not.
Let’s take a look at the organizers and sponsors.
…and then follows a listing of the Usual Suspects: Tides Foundation, Open Society Foundation, a whole bunch of other front organizations and… U.S. taxpayers.
The real question is this: how in the name of goodness has George Soros not had his U.S. citizenship yanked, his money confiscated and been exiled to [insert your favorite destination here] ?
Range time? I think so.
Outrageous Travesty
We’re all familiar with the “registration leads to confiscation” trope. But that’s not the only way that a gun registration regime can fuck with you.
It all started with a Righteous Shooting:
Foehner collided with our criminal justice system in May 2023 when he went out for a pack of cigarettes in the early hours of the morning. Crime in his Kew Gardens neighborhood became a problem after a now-shuttered seedy hotel had opened up in 2017, so Foehner took a revolver with him as protection.
In an eerie twist, Foehner had complained to this very paper about the disorder in 2020.
“This isn’t our nice little neighborhood anymore,” he told The Post at that time, noting the brazen drug deals taking place.
But on that fateful night, he returned from buying smokes and saw an unhinged man banging on the door of his building. It was Cody Gonzalez, who then menacingly approached Foehner, demanding a cigarette and his phone.
“He kept coming closer and clearly he was going to attack me.” Foehner said he pulled out a gun and pointed it at the ground. But Gonzalez didn’t stop. He motioned toward Foehner’s neck with an object and his instincts kicked in. Foehner shot the man dead. The ordeal was caught on security camera.
“I didn’t want to hurt anyone. He left me no choice,” said Foehner.
He called 911 and cooperated with authorities.
Of course, the corpus delicti was a charming choirboy:
Gonzalez had at least 15 priors dating back to 2004 and a history of mental illness.
In any American state, Our Hero would have been given a pat on the back and sent home to his wife. But this happened in Noo Yawk fucken Siddy, so now it’s time for a Red Curtain Of Blood Warning:
He wasn’t charged in the death of Gonzalez, which was deemed justified, but the DA threw the book at him for criminal weapons possession.
And so Our Hero, age 67, is going to jail, for four years. For owning a couple of “unlicensed” guns.
Read the whole disgusting thing to get the full flavor of life in the Big City.
And this, children, is why you should resist any government which wants to register your guns.
Bondi Reflections
Right up front, I’m going to say that I hope I’m never in a situation like one of the several mass shootings we’ve just seen. I’m no hero, I’m too old for that kind of thing, and there are too many bad outcomes (for me) should I get involved with — i.e. by shooting back at — asshole gunmen on a spree.
That said, I also hope that if the situation is inescapable that I will have the gumption to perform my civic duty, i.e. by not running away and hoping that law enforcement will take care of everything, and doing my level best to end the threat.
I also hope I don’t get shot by the frigging cops, which is what seems to have happened in Sydney because to the untrained and panicked eye, the target becomes any guy holding a gun (or, in the case of the OzCops) and even standing next to the gun he just used, with his hands in the air.
What a shit show.
For those who think that I’m being silly to imagine such things happening, living as I do in north Texas: let me remind everyone that there was just such a mass shooting at an outdoor mall in Allen, just up the road from my house, only a couple years ago. (What makes it all the more chilling was that both New Wife and Mrs. Doc Russia had gone out shopping in Allen, and might well have ended up at the mall in so doing.)
So no: if we’ve learned one thing from all this, it’s that this shit can happen anywhere. And we would do well to be prepared to deal with it.
Once again, I’m absolutely not hoping that I get involved in some of this mayhem; but at the same time, I will admit to doing some mental role-playing in my head, dredging up all the old “Coinops” (counter-insurgency operations) drills I learned back in those far-off days when we all carried muskets and bayonets.
One thing is for sure, though: I will not be a helpless victim.
Malice Aforethought
I haven’t been keeping up with the Trump vs. BBC saga much, because as a rule trials make my eyes glaze over. This one, however, may be different:
MAKE no mistake, Donald Trump’s $5billion (£3.7billion) defamation lawsuit against the BBC, filed yesterday, is a formidable document: it is a tightly constructed, meticulously argued claim that accuses the Corporation not merely of error but of intentional deception on a scale that, if proven, could be the most damaging legal defeat in its history.
Filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida, the complaint names the BBC, BBC Studios Distribution, and BBC Studios Productions as defendants. It seeks $5billion in damages for defamation and for alleged violations of Florida’s consumer protection laws.
What makes the filing so potent is that it weaves the BBC’s factual admissions, internal whistleblowing, patterns of bias in BBC coverage, timing, motive and governance failure – caused essentially by the BBC acting as its own judge and jury – into a coherent narrative of wrongdoing.
…and the article just gets better and better as Dave Keighley lays it all out for TCW’s Brit readers. Read the whole thing.
Best part of all this? The suit has been filed in Florida, where Trump’s a longtime resident (at Mar-A-Lago, for my Brit Readers). In Florida (as opposed to NYfC or Kollyfornia) the jury is going to be made of Floridians, nay even a goodly number of Trump voters who, if all goes Trump’s way, will deliver a sound financial wacking to the BBC’s corporate pee-pee.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of smug, Leftist assholes, who will have their bias and underhanded skulduggery exposed to the entire world.
It’s just too bad that in the end, the financial penalty will be borne by the BBC’s license holders, i.e. the public, rather than by the BBC executives who perpetrated this travesty.
But hey… all the more reason for the Brits to dump the whole licensing bollocks altogether. The public hangings can come later.
