When I first glanced at this pic, I thought, “How cool. People are already starting to prepare for Nikki Haley’s presidency.”
Then I looked closer and saw the date on the shirts, and laughed my ass off.

As anyone of a certain age will know, one of the Leftist tropes of the Vietnam War was the statement: “We had to destroy the village in order to save it.” (Yes, I know those weren’t the major’s actual words, but that was what they became, thanks to that bastard Peter Arnett and the rest of the Leftist Anti-War School of Journalism.) It is the expression which draws the glee of the Left because of its apparent paradox.
My, my, how times have changed. In reading this article, I was struck by how the Left (in the persona of Bill Maher, but I bet he isn’t the only one) has come to adopt this trope as its own. Think I’m kidding? Try this:
Bill Maher, high priest of the Smart Set, despises the working class for its rejection of Hillary Clinton. On his June 8, 2018 broadcast, he hoped that the economy “crashes” so Trump will lose in 2020. Maher’s misanthropy is instructive. As Americans find their footing in a much improved labor market, Maher roots for disaster: lost jobs, lost health insurance, lost homes, aborted college educations, divorces, more opioid deaths.
In rooting for disaster, Maher is suggesting that there is salvation in Trump losing, and he doesn’t care how many Americans lose their jobs.
So in other words: he’s prepared to destroy the village in order to “save” it.
Of course, nobody should be surprised at any kind of inconsistency from the Left: if the aim is gaining power, all can be excused — lies, lawbreaking, inconsistency, destruction of long-established institutions, whatever.
Here’s the thing, though. In all the historic instances of the Left actually seizing total power, they always first made sure that they were the ones who had the guns — whether it was the mutinous Russian Army of 1917 which helped the Bolsheviks, the Wehrmacht and SS of Nazi Germany or the murderous Khmer Rouge death squads (to name but some).
That’s not the case here in our America, is it? In fact, the American Left is the side without any guns, which is why they’ve taken great pains to politicize and weaponize government departments which do have guns (the IRS, the CIA, the FBI, etc.) who can oppress and terrorize the Left’s opponents (instead of “enemies foreign and domestic” — an easy thing to do once you’ve demonized your opposition and turned them into the enemy). Which is also why the Left is the party of civilian disarmament: despite their lying protestations to the contrary, they do want to take our guns away from us. Makes it easier for all those Alphabet Agencies, doesn’t it?
I think that’s why I love this meme:
Make no mistake about it: the lion has a very good chance of killing and eating the porcupine — eventually — but at great, perhaps even lethal cost to itself. Now imagine another porcupine with no quills at all; as the lion, which one would you rather tackle?
And now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to the range. My AK- and 1911 quills aren’t going to sharpen themselves, you know.
Irony Alert
So former supermodel Elle McPherson is dating a doctor. Ordinarily, I would not care, and nor should any sentient human being. But this is not just any doctor, oh no — as the Daily Mail breathlessly informs us:
Elle Macpherson, 54, is dating discredited former doctor Andrew Wakefield, 60, a driving force behind the anti-vaxxer movement when his debunked theory linked the childhood MMR jab to autism
…and of course there’s a pic:
…which makes me think: while I certainly do not wish any harm on the Oz bint, wouldn’t be wonderfully ironic if by kissing this charlatan, she contracted a serious yet preventable disease?
(Side note: kissing with eyes open? eewwww)
Hate Speech
…or as it used to be called in the Gude Ole Daze, invective, seems to have been cowed by Political Correctness because Feewings are more important than truth, or even humor. Take this little passage from Taki’s Magazine, for instance, in describing the travails of CanuckiPM Zoolander:
As the telegenic fist-puppet of the global elite, Justin Trudeau does everything his string-pullers tell him to do: He pretends that Muslims are human, that trannies are women, that white people need to be eliminated, and that women never lie about rape.
Earlier this year, Trudeau threw his support behind the castration-crazy witch hunt known as #MeToo, a vanity project in which women receive love, cash, interview requests, and the sweet taste of revenge by boasting that they were sexually assaulted by powerful men. He called it “a movement whose time has come”:“Sexual harassment is a systemic problem. It is unacceptable. When women speak up, it is our duty to listen to them and to believe them.”
Yeah, that’s going to be problematic for the boyish man whom many suspect is the bastard love child of Fidel Castro and Trudeau’s schlong-gobbling whore of a mother.
There’s so much fine invective here, it’s difficult to know where to start: hell, the “telegenic fist-puppet” quip alone is worth the price of admission. But it’s the description of Margaret Trudeau where the Invective Parade gets the brass band going, and I howled with laughter when I read it.
Lest anyone think that part’s libelous, I should point out that La Margaret’s lack of morals was not only well-known but documented, having had affairs with, by her own admission, more than one of the Rolling Stones during one of their tours of The Great White Space, as well as with other famous people. And the affection towards Commie politicians shown by Her Groupieness makes the “love child” barb not only possible, but highly likely. And let’s be honest: she “let it all hang out” (literally) on more than one occasion:
What He Said
Saith Robert Hardman in the Daily Mail:
Perhaps I just wasn’t paying attention but I am pretty sure that this lot were not here three months ago. On that occasion, London was hosting not just one ‘bigot’ but dozens. In fact, all told, the 2018 Commonwealth summit honoured no less than 37 world leaders who choose to criminalise homosexuality in their countries.
I certainly remember them all getting a full state welcome and dinner at Buckingham Palace. The funny thing is, I just can’t recall the protests. Nor did I see the placards a month earlier when a leader who bans women from voting in general elections – and only let them drive cars this year – was a guest of honour in the City of London.
Aside from a handful of protestors outside Downing Street, there was no street march against Crown Prince Mohammed of Saudi Arabia.
Maybe everyone was washing their hair that day.
Yesterday, however, thousands did manage to find the time to hit the streets to hurl various forms of abuse – some of it cogent, much of it unprintable and lot of it simply adolescent – at our most important ally.
I imagine most women, most gays and most members of any ethnic minority would much prefer to live in Donald Trump’s USA than most nations on earth. Yesterday, however, he was cast as the pantomime enemy of almost every cause on the political spectrum from centre-Left grievances all the way out to the communists (who certainly deserved the award for the most elaborate banner yesterday – a magnificent old-fashioned specimen beautifully embroidered with Lenin and Marx).
Whatever your issue – Brexit, climate change, feminism, Palestine, capitalism, gay and transgender rights – Donald Trump was the problem and guilty as charged. So roll up, folks, and signal your virtues.
And they did:
Mind you, expecting any kind of consistency from the Left is like expecting lions to go vegan: it’s just not in their nature.
And of course, he’ll never get the Screaming Freak vote:
I have a serious question: can you imagine belonging to a “movement” which includes people like this as members? What could possibly possess people to act this way?
I guess it’s because Trump! And that excuses anything.
Fucking morons. All of them. Including the people who are encouraging this crap, e.g. Maxine (Red Maxi) Waters and Bernie (Scum) Sanders. These fuckups couldn’t “resist” a ripple in a pond.
Not Wise
With all due respect to the God-Emperor, I would suggest that giving a million bucks to the Communist Party of the USA is a Bad Idea. A better idea would be to offer to give the money to the Indian tribe with which her DNA is affiliated.
