Cardinal Hails "The End Of Christendom," Says It Won't Be A Defeat

 

During the General Assembly of the Italian Bishops in Assisi, Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, the president of the Italian Bishops’ Conference, said of the increasing secularization of the West: “What is fading is an order of power and culture, not the living force of the Gospel. The believer of today is no longer the custodian of a Christian world, but the pilgrim of a hope that continues to make its way into hearts. In this horizon, the end of Christendom is not a defeat, but a kairòs: the chance to return to what is essential, to the freedom of the beginnings, to that ‘yes’ spoken out of love, without fear and without guarantees.”

To be clear, what is fading in the increasingly secularized West is the power of Christian churches, in large part due to their incessant pandering to secular culture. The believer of today is no longer the custodian of a Christian world because that world’s leaders have willingly ceded it to everyone else. The pilgrim of a hope in progressives’ hearts is fervently wishing that they will not be judged for any of their acts, no matter how detrimental to themselves, society, or the Christian Church. The end of Christendom is not a defeat for the hyper-secular… and is indeed a victory for Islam. One that the new pseudo-Christians have handed to them on the proverbial silver platter. In this depraved new world, one can say “yes” to anything without guarantee of condemnation…or eternal life. Is that trade-off worth it?

Zuppi noted that freshly minted Pope Leo XIV has stressed synodality and the promotion of “unarmed” peace in a troubled world. Yet everyone with a cerebral cortex knows that, if we weren’t armed, we’d all be forced to worship Xi Jinping or Allah. Probably not a good thing for Christendom.

The zany Zuppi referred to Pope Francis’ expression “change of epoch,” and observed that many are now immersed in a different cultural context, one in which faith is only one possibility among others. He claimed that while Christianity does not disappear for these folks, it is situated within a more personal form of adherence and reiterated that the Church is called to love without reserve and to recognize no form of enemy within society. (“Sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll!”)

In other words, Zuppi would fundamentally transform the Christian Church as Barack Hussein Obama fundamentally transformed the (formerly) United States.

Progressives, Marxists, and Muslims will always aggressively defend themselves. If Christendom will not, it will be a devastating defeat for it, no matter what Zuppi and his ilk say. And for the world. There will be precious few freedoms at the beginning of this new Dark Age. But there will be plenty of fear, guaranteed.

 

Chicago Mayor Says Imprisoning Violent Criminals Is "Racist" And "Immoral"

 

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson recently stated that imprisoning violent criminals is racist and immoral.

Appearing at a news conference alongside Illinois Governor J.B. “Big Pants” Pritzker, Johnson opined that society needs to find ways of dealing with violent criminals that don’t involve incarcerating them. The Large One said, “The addiction on jails and incarceration in this country, we have moved past that. It is racist. It is immoral. It is unholy and it is not the way to drive violence down.” He added, “We cannot incarcerate our way out of violence.”

No, it is racist to clearly infer that minorities (blacks?) cannot help but commit acts of violence. It is immoral to let repeat violent offenders out where they can continue to murder, rape, rob, and assault innocent, law-abiding citizens. And it is unholy to believe otherwise, as Democrats are wont to do, routinely taking the side of violent criminals against American citizens.

Asserting that “we cannot incarcerate our way out of violence” is akin to saying that removing cancerous organs and tissue from our bodies won’t help prolong our lives, or that we cannot eat our way out of starvation. It is obvious that both of these statements are false, or at least likely so. When criminals are incarcerated, they cannot commit crimes, at least not the murder, rape, robbery and assault of innocents. Period.

Period.

The Left has an insatiable desire to force others to believe—and parrot—outright lies. It is not hyperbole to say that this is an existential threat to society. It’s propensity to aver that the most preposterous lies are facts, the most improbable impossible beliefs true, will wreak havoc on a nation. Putting people in prison will not reduce crime? “Trans” women are women? Trump colluded with Russia? The Coronavirus came from a wet market/pangolin/but definitely not from the Wuhan virology lab, etc., etc. These notions, incessantly pushed by the mainstream media, are nothing but flat-out lies. And have proven to be nothing but flat-out lies.

But no one will be held accountable and similar lies and hoaxes will continue to be peddled…until Republicans grow a spine and become cis-male again. Or at least until they find their inner morality and purpose. Don’t hold your breath. Non-MAGA Republicans’ favorite activity seems to be pre-emptively surrendering. This craven proclivity is as pathetic as it is dangerous. In fact, it, too, is a crime.

 

Thanksgiving Thoughts

 

On this Thanksgiving Day, let’s take a moment to reflect on the biggest division there is, that between those who express and espouse gratitude and those who are forever entitled and bitter. But Eric, why do this, on this of all days? Because this dichotomy determines almost everything else. The difference between gratitude and entitlement is akin to the difference between, say, Mother Teresa and Michelle Obama, “O Holy Night” and “Santa Baby,” Scheel’s holiday advertisements and nearly everyone else’s.

And it is no exaggeration to state that it largely determines the course of one’s life. Suffice it to say that those with genuine gratitude tend to lead happier and more productive lives than those without, while doing more for others, as well. So those of us blessed with gratitude should be particularly thankful for that.

Leftists do not care for gratitude, family, or faith. They prefer to sow division, anxiety, fear, and hate. Because the former lead to a lesser need for the big government that gives them power, while the latter does the opposite.

Here’s wishing a happy and blessed Thanksgiving to all of my readers.  

I am grateful for you.

The Progressive Ten Commandments

 

A federal judge recently ordered 14 public schools in North Texas to quit displaying the Ten Commandments. US District Judge Orlando Luis Garcia, a Clinton appointee, ordered the schools to remove the Commandments after Texas passed a law requiring schools to display them, saying that the law violates the Constitution’s Establishment Clause. Yet, progressivism is nothing but an unbroken series of mostly unwritten commandments passed down from our education system, entertainment industry, and news media. Our children/students are indoctrinated every day, told in no uncertain terms that they cannot deviate from these Commandments without revealing themselves to be hateful, bigoted, intolerant, fascists. Naturally, this led me to codify them and put them on paper. You’re welcome.

The Progressive Ten Commandments:

1)      Thou shalt have no other gods but Progressivism

2)      Thou shalt make idols of drag queens

3)      Thou shalt not misgender anyone nor take their preferred pronouns in vain

4)      Thou shalt keep Kwanza and Earth Day holy

5)      Honor your birthing parents whatever their genders; And Karl Marx

6)      Thou shalt not murder…unless it be babies or conservatives

7)      Thou shalt commit adultery; diversity!

8)      Thou shalt steal only from the rich or businesses

9)      Thou are encouraged to bear false witness against Republicans, especially if thou art a “journalist”

10)   It is perfectly acceptable to covet the cash and possessions of anyone better off than yourself, as it is to covet fame, power, and your neighbor’s wife or manservant

And a bonus commandment: 11) Diversity is King, so anything goes!

 

Target Policy Asking Employees To Smile And Greet Customers Considered Cruel And Unusual Punishment By Some

 

The headline from something called “The Wellbeing Whisper” read, “Target’s Forced Smile Policy Deepens Rift With Workers and Shoppers.” Huh?

I almost never side with Target, but this time I must. The story revolves around Target’s new “10-4” policy, which urges employees to smile, make eye contact, and greet customers within prescribed distances-whether they feel like it or not. I was in retail management for 27 years. If an employee cannot—or will not—even smile and greet a customer in close proximity to them, they don’t deserve to have a job that involves interaction with customers. And they don’t deserve unemployment or welfare in my opinion, either. Or any other type of income redistribution. If the person being paid and otherwise compensated can’t even smile or say “hi” to customers that are in their store to hand over their hard-earned money, they aren’t going to be consistently competent and professional, let alone go above and beyond their position’s expectations.

Yet the article cites Allison Wiltz, a psychology Ph.D. and freelance journalist, who makes the preposterous assertion that “They [employees] shouldn’t lose the ability to make money or provide for themselves or their families just because they can’t muster up a smile.” It states that “surface acting,” or simply pretending to feel a certain way, “drains both emotional and physical resources; leads to exhaustion, lowered job performance, and reduced customer loyalty,” and even “emotional exhaustion.” I am emotionally exhausted after reading such complete bullshit. And I am not being paid for this. But wait, there’s more! Wiltz claims that mandatory smiles can “exacerbate racial and gender biases.” She claims that, for women, “the expectation to smile on demand is intertwined with relation expectations, making compliance a heavier emotional load.” Wiltz has obviously never met my wife. Also, pleasantly greeting customers, which is what you are being paid to do, subjects you to a “heavier emotional load?” Bullsh*t.

The indefinite article went on (and on) to state: “The mental health implications are serious. Emotional dissonance-when employees must hide their true feelings-has been linked to depression, anxiety, and even suicidal thoughts in service industry workers. In one large-scale study of ‘pink-collar’ jobs, women subjected to emotional display rules and requirements to hide emotions had a 36% higher risk of depression. That risk spiked further when employers failed to provide health and safety information or support from colleagues. Forced cheerfulness, especially in the face of aggressive customers, compounds the strain.” That is so much horse hockey. Most studies show that “faking it till you make it” works more often than not. In other words, if you make an effort to feel better, smile and think good thoughts, you will most often quickly end up feeling better and more positive. In this case, as in most, a win for all involved.

No matter. The article even more preposterously continued: “Layered onto this is the racial dimension of customer bias in service encounters. Research rooted in aversive racism theory illustrates that the responses of majority customers to minority employees are often less positive, driving satisfaction scores and loyalty. When service scripts-such as Target’s 10-4 policy-are rigidly enforced, they tend to magnify these biases rather than mitigate them, especially if managers interpret compliance through a biased lens.”

Oh, bleep off.

Aversive racism theory? Illustrates that the responses of majority customers to minority employees are often less positive? That is the exact opposite of what I have seen, what I have experienced. For many years now.

And finally, “For Target, the path to regained loyalty does not lie in policing faces but in restoring the commitments that once made it a favorite of diverse shoppers. It means re-engaging with DEI in ways that resonate with real experiences, protecting employees against emotional harm, and fostering authentic interactions that benefit workers and customers alike.”

Our Father who art in heaven…

Smiling and greeting customers could cause “emotional harm?” My experience, as a customer and service employee, has been just the opposite. Yet customer service has gotten dramatically worse since the COVID lockdowns, with a few exceptions. For example, Hy-Vee, the wildly successful grocery store chain, touts its customer service with the motto: “A helpful smile in every aisle.” That is hyperbole but still an indicator of how it wishes to treat its customers.

So, imagine the emotional harm Hy-Vee is causing their new-- and legacy-- employees! Of whom the company has hired tens of thousands in recent years.

I thank God I don’t have to smile and greet anyone here. Can’t imagine the emotional damage that would cause.

Mamdani Is So Yesterday...Or Soon Will Be

 

Democratic Socialist (i.e. Marxist) Muslim Zohran Mamdani is now the mayor of New York City. Many find it shocking that such a person is now in control of the country’s—and world’s—financial capital. But an upstate city just upstaged The Big Apple by electing a full-blown Communist. 20-year-old Hannah Shvets, a student organizer and member of Communist Party USA, was elected to the Ithaca Common Council on November 13th in the Democratic stronghold’s Fifth Ward. With the collapse of the old Democrat Party, and the blessing of the crazed, young, history-challenged radicals that now control it, Socialists, Marxists, and Communists are suddenly getting elected all across the fruited plain.

Many other, um, let’s say “diverse” characters are in the on-deck circle.

For example, far-left Democratic New York City Councilman Chi Ossé is reportedly planning to primary House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries in 2026. Ossé is an openly queer Buddhist as well as a Marxist.

A Michigan furry who has made comments disparaging Charlie Kirk, Elon Musk-- and America-- is allegedly planning on running for US Congress. Samuel Smeltzer would be seeking the Democratic nomination for Michigan’s 7th District in the 2026 midterms, hoping to challenge Republican incumbent Tom Barrett for his congressional seat in Washington. Smeltzer is an open and outspoken member of the “Furry” community who campaigns under the name “Elyon Badger” while wearing a badger mask. Mr. Badger, pronouns unknown, believes in taxing the rich and says he is “100% serious” about his candidacy.” Smeltzer/Badger also told The New York Post, “I want to change things and make things better. I’m sick of Trump. I’m bullying the old f**ks out of my way.”

So you have a newly-elected Virginia attorney general, Jay Jones, who once openly mused about assassinating his political rival—and watching his children perish. He’s the chief law-enforcement officer of the state that produced Washington, Jefferson, and Madison. And you have Graham Platner, a freshly minted Senator from Maine who sports a Nazi Totenkopf, or “Death’s Head,” tattoo…and yet who once proclaimed himself a Communist.

And, of course, there are an ever-growing number of elected officials who are members of the LGBTQ community-- and a few others who are simply proven perverts.

Diversity and intersectionality are two in the pantheon of (non-Christian) gods Leftists worship. The more non-white, non-Christian, non-heterosexual boxes one can check, the better they like you, merit and character be damned.

Our culture and mores are changing so fast, I have constructed a guide (below) to help folks determine who their next Representative might be…or should be. Give your candidate 1 point for each of the orientations, genders, affiliations, ethnicities, and kinks with which they identify. Whoever has the highest total is the winner. Or should be. Right?

Sexual Orientation/Gender:   Religious Affiliation:        Political Affiliation:     Ethnicity:        Bonus Kink:

Gay/male                                   Muslim                               Marxist                        Indigenous      Pedophilia

Lesbian/female                         Pagan                                 Communist                 Chinese            Necrophilia

Pansexual/anogender             Luciferian                           Socialist                       Somali             Furry

Trans/fluid                                 Satanist                              DSA                              Pakistani         Golden Showers

Other/X                                      Wiccan                               Green                         Venezuelan     Drag Queen  

None                                          Unitarian                            Libertarian                 Canadian         Auto-erotica                                        

 

 

 

 

 

England Takes A Knee

 

Put a fork in England, she is toast. “The king is dead! Long live the Sultan!”

Shaun Remmer, a now former teaching assistant from the North Yorkshire town of Thirsk, was recently relieved of his job after he was “snitched on” for hoisting the Union Jack in his hometown. Remmer recently put up around 150 British flags across Thirsk, intending for them to symbolize the “unity” of Britain.

Whereas, Remmer says, numerous neighbors have stopped him in the street to shake his hand and thank him for putting up the flags, apparently a few took offense and reported him to his place of work, eventually leading to him losing his job. (Care to guess who these folks were?)

Yet, Palestinian flags and LGBTQ flags are fine to fly, in fact are nearly ubiquitous in certain areas of the U.K.-- and America, as well. (See also: college campuses, Minneapolis, etc.)

What kind of country bans its own flag from being displayed by its own citizens on account of a few complaints from those in a certain demographic group? (Whether they be Karens or Muslims.) Or because of a handful of radical leftists with suicidal empathy-- or a desire to destroy-- for that matter?

Sadly, the answer is an embarrassed one. A weak one. One that has lost its history, its way, and its mojo. And, inevitably, a soon to be extinct one.

“Rule, Brittania!” was a song set to music by Thomas Arne in 1740. It was a defiant assertion that Britons would never be slaves. But many Britons have now been fooled. They are ruled by incompetent leaders who are more afraid of being branded “Islamophobic” than they are upset at the cruelty being imposed on their young, native-born lasses…and their otherwise rapidly aging citizens alike. They are effectively enslaving those citizens with pernicious and overbearing laws and regulations, even as they are sentencing them to eventually become second-class citizens to the rapidly increasing Muslim population.

England appears utterly enervated, its leaders totally committed to a depressing denouement. It is the nation version of Joe Biden.

“Drool, Brittania?”

           More’s the pity.

Protestant Minister "Marries" Four Men

 

A “Protestant minister” in Berlin said she conducted a “poly wedding” for four men at what the Daily Caller characterized as a “summer pop-up wedding event outside a Kreuzberg church.”

According to the Berliner Zeitung, the allegedly Protestant minister, Lena Müller, 33, posted that “four young men said ‘yes’ to each other” and stood under “God’s colorful blessing.” This despite the fact that Germany does not recognize multi-partner marriages. (Intolerant Fascists!)

I’m not sure God would bestow his blessing on these particular nuptials, colorful or not. Especially insofar as the Bible clearly states His belief mandate that marriage should be between one man and one woman. But perhaps He has become much more “hip” and “woke” in the last couple of millennia. Or not.

People like this “minister”—and those who claim to be “Spiritual” but not religious, and folks who speak of “my truth” are akin to those who purport to want to “save our democracy” from Trump/Republicans/Conservatives/anybody who doesn’t agree with them. How so you ask? In that the latter don’t really want to save our democracy (representative republic), they want to save their bureaucracy and enhance their power. And that the former eschew the concept of objective truth and morality and actually desire to make them—and Christianity—comport with their wishes and actions. No matter what they may be.

What’s next to defile the divine unity of one male and one female? Will we soon be okay with “blessing” the sexual union of Three Men and a Truck? Three women and two men (a full house, females over males!) Five guys, three gals? Two “trans” women, three cis-women, three “trans” men, and two cis-men? Four anogenders, five demifluxers, and a goat?

If there are no standards, if nothing is deemed immoral, and if there is a mindset of “absolutely anything goes”……any society or nation so afflicted soon goes away. Permanently.

There is a reason Western Europe is being successfully invaded. By Muslims. When a nation forgets or willfully erases its past and no longer believes in itself or its raison d'être, it opens up a void that must be filled by something else. Often, that something is antithetical to that nation’s previous identity and well-being. This might seem ironic but quickly becomes a fait accompli.

The same thing could happen here in the U.S. Already is, in fact.

Tolerance is neither a “virtue” nor always good. Diversity is not necessarily our strength.

It is, however, our destiny.

 

The Pope, Immigration, And Abortion

                The University of Notre Dame has ixnayed and expunged the school’s historic Catholic mission from its staff values and instead chosen to adopt a “refreshed” set of generic concepts like “community.” Instead of staff being required to “understand, accept, and support the Catholic mission” of the university and “foster values consistent with that mission,” the staff is now encouraged to simply “treat every person with dignity and respect” and “work together.” Gotta treat those pedophiles, murderers, and radical Islamic types with dignity and respect! Maybe we can work together to create a college—and a nation—where there are absolutely no restraints on personal behavior and no consequences for anyone’s actions!

                 This nicely dovetails with the views of those currently heading up the Vatican, most of whom are profoundly progressive, explicitly ideological, and marginally Catholic at best. Simply put, they are there to “fundamentally transform Catholicism.” And Christianity. They are virtue-signaling apostates who would destroy a great religion to appear tragically hip. Wittingly or unwittingly, they are doing the Devil’s bidding…and sowing the seeds of destruction rather than redemption. This Pope, like the last one, is undoing tradition, rewriting the Catechism, and re-interpreting the Bible. He has granted audiences to gay couples, transgenders, and those who are staunchly pro-abortion. Pope Francis stated that “all religions are a path to God,” a stunning and direct contradiction of the word of God Himself…and His Son, as set down in the Bible. Seems like Pope Leo concurs. Leo has deliberately interjected himself into politics, chastising the Trump administration for its immigration and border policies. He has openly called for unlimited and unvetted immigration and the absence of border walls, though Vatican City would never even consider taking down the stout walls that surround and protect the home of the Pope.  

So perhaps the Pontiff should consider the fact that, if people endeavor to enter a new country and profess to be offended by its culture—as is the case with many Muslims-- they are not there as refugees, but as invaders and would-be conquerors. One would think that a Pope would know this as well or better than anyone. If those immigrants were truly fleeing poverty, war, or oppression, they would naturally express gratitude towards the new country, not be offended by it. Reason and sanity must replace suicidal empathy if the West is to survive.

Given his Progressive bona fides, Pope Leo XIV, an American, might not be too upset that the Philadelphia City Council recently adopted a resolution by councilmember and abortion activist Kendra Brooks that recognizes abortion as a “human right.” Killing the unborn (and perhaps those just born) is a “human right?” Does that seem right? Logical? Ethical? Does it comport with a civilized society? Of course not. It conflicts with the notion that each of us have been granted the right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” by our Creator—America’s founding principle. Also, if abortion were a “human right” that was universally exercised, there wouldn’t be any humans—and hence no need for human rights at all. Therefore, that is self-evidently not the case.

God help us. Please.

 

Democrat Party Base Now Angry White Women

 

Mollie Hemingway-- author, political pundit, frequent guest on Gutfeld!, and editor of The Federalist, recently appeared on FOX News and stated that the Democrat Party’s base is now primarily made up of angry women.

Hemingway is clearly correct, as any honest person that hasn’t lived incommunicado in a Wikiup deep in the Brazilian rainforest for the past, say, 30 years would have to admit.

Whenever I see a Prius Subaru vehicle on the road with more than four bumper stickers, I know there is a 95% chance its owner is a member of the far-left community. If one of the bumper stickers states, “You can’t hug your kids with nuclear arms,” “Visualize world peace,” or “Charlie Kirk deserved to die,” I know there is a 99.7% chance the vehicle is owned by a female. An overweight white one with glasses. Sorry, ladies, I have conducted unimpeachable studies that show that 997 out of every 1,000 vehicles whose bumpers sport these stickers are owned by an overweight “non-male” with glasses. The science is settled. (I used to point this out to my wife. She doubted me. Then she didn’t. We are still married.)

Here is a recent comment from far-left podcaster Jennifer Welch: “Kudos to Bernie, to AOC, to Zohran, and to that woman out in somewhere Middle America saying, ‘F-ck Charlie Kirk. He was a racist. He was a piece of sh-t.’” Welch went on to essentially call for more and better violence against conservatives.

Sad. Tragic, really. The feminine grace is largely gone. The feminine mystique is no longer. The idea of the “gentler sex” has been rendered fake news. Feminism-- and a sheer rabid hatred of reality-- has killed these notions off. And done grievous, if not irreparable harm—to relations between the sexes, the foundation of human life since the time of Adam and Eve. (As always, there are exceptions to these observations. Thank you, God.)

Rosie O’Donnell, Kathy Griffin, Maxine Waters, Rashida Tlaib, AOC, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Elizabeth Warren, Jasmine Crockett, Mazie Hirono, Whoopie Goldberg, Michelle Obama, Ilhan Omar, Joy Reid…Jennifer Welch…I could go on and on. These are not just obnoxious and ignorant “non-males,” they are bad people. Liars. Hypocrites. Knowing projectionists. And obviously deeply unhappy, if not truly disturbed. Post-modern women such as these have—knowingly or not-- purged the fun, romance, and contentment from their own lives, and are the cause of great bewilderment, sadness, and disillusionment for countless men. (Not that men are blameless.)

It is vitally important for people, especially women, to realize and acknowledge two inarguable truths: first, that women have it worse-- and are far less free and opportunity-laden—in nearly every other country other than the United States; and two, that despite having greater career opportunities, fewer children, and less time spent with a committed male in recent years, the angrier and less content a great many women have become. I mean, WTH?! These are all things feminists claimed they wanted, so what gives?

Maybe if we quit using terms like “trans women” for men and “non-males” for women we could begin to heal again. It would be best for humanity if we once again were to recognize and celebrate the uniqueness and divine complimentarity of the male and female binary. Perhaps we could even experience something akin to a second Genesis. And get right with our Creator again.

Before it may become too late to do so.

 

Six Democrats Openly Call For Military And Intelligence Services To Disobey President Trump's Orders

 

Nov. 18 should henceforth be recognized as far more dangerous than Jan. 6 ever was. Far more shocking. And an actual attempt at fomenting an insurrection, a coup. The “Nov. 18ers” should be forever shamed and discredited.

Rather than hundreds of unruly Trump supporters strolling through the Capitol Building, many of whom were subsequently incarcerated for doing so, we have just witnessed six sitting Democratic lawmakers openly urge members of the military and intelligence community to defy direct orders from the President of the United States.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) posted a video to social media Tuesday morning in which she and five of her fellow traitors congressional Democratic colleagues called for the military and the intelligence community to “stand up” to President Donald Trump and his administration. In other words, to defy his orders if desired. To defy the orders of the Commander-in-Chief. The video features Slotkin, the infamous and always grating Sen. Mark Kelly (AZ)-- and Reps. Jason Crow (CO), Chrissy Houlahan (PA), Chris Deluzio (PA) and Maggie Goodlander (NH).

In the video, Kelly and Crow stated, “This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens.” Later in the video, Kelly, Slotkin, and Deluzio said, “Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders. You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders.”

To be clear, the Seditious Six are pitting the intelligence community and military against the duly elected Commander-in-Chief. (All of whom are themselves citizens.) Should their pleas be acted upon, this would not only result in an actual attempted insurrection or coup, but could provoke a civil war. They added, “whether you are serving in the CIA, the Army, our Navy, the Air Force, your vigilance is critical. And know that we have your back. Because now more than ever, the American people need you. The American people do need our military and intelligence services, just not the weaponized ones that the Obama and Biden administrations created. The American people don’t need the half-a-dozen subversive, traitorous clowns who appear in this video. And they certainly don’t need them pushing to further divide the nation-- and the military and intelligence services that are sworn to serve it.

Houlahan noted that “Americans trust their military,” while Deluzio asserted “that trust is at risk.” It is, but only if enough members of the military act at the behest of the Seditious Six.

 

Driver Given Suspended Sentence Despite Loaded Firearm, Crack Pipe, Cash, Scale, And Flamethrower

 

Jesse Garlow, a member of the Six Nations tribe, was credited for time served and let off with a suspended sentence after he was picked up by police and accused of driving around Peterborough, Ontario, with a loaded rifle, a crack pipe in his lap, a small scale, nearly $5,000 in cash…and a flamethrower. And he is a convicted drug trafficker!

Garlow, who was pulled over for erratic driving, pleaded guilty to possessing a loaded and prohibited firearm in connection with a June 7, 2024, traffic stop. A gun that Justice Brenda Green described as a “very frightening looking firearm.”

Nonetheless, Justice Green went easy on Garlow in her sentencing decision, due to what she described as the “intergenerational trauma” and “attempted cultural genocide” that must surely have victimized Garlow. Which, of course, led to him taking and trafficking drugs, and procuring a flamethrower.

In her decision, Green wrote: “Despite Mr. Garlow’s history of drug trafficking and the other items in that vehicle, I cannot conclusively infer that he was in possession of this firearm in furtherance of other criminal activities.”  She also noted that the drugs and his crack pipe were for “personal use.” I was unaware that certain “prohibited” and “very frightening looking firearms”—and crack cocaine—were legal in Canada, even if for “personal use.”

Hell, I once got ticketed for going 4 miles-per-hour over the speed limit. I think I was pulled over for DWN—driving while Norwegian. Some of us in the West get threatened with jail time if we peacefully protest the government, misgender someone, quote certain Bible verses, refuse to take an experimental jab, or even put up a blog post or tweet that is not pre-approved by the Uni-party.

If we were pulled over and found to possess a loaded firearm, crack pipe, scale, tons of cash…and a flamethrower, we’d be hanging upside down, manacled to a wall somewhere in a dank, dark dungeon. Might be worse than that if we were wearing a “MAGA’ hat.

I can somewhat understand indigenous folks getting a break or two, for obvious reasons. But, for society to be cohesive and successful, equal application of the law is paramount. And, conversely, it boggles my mind that illegal aliens are afforded such largesse when long-time law-abiding citizens are not.  

So Jesse Garlow and Hunter Biden can illegally possess firearms, drugs, crack-pipes…and flamethrowers without facing any real consequences, but “progressives” believe the rest of us are not supposed to complain about this or be allowed to own a firearm?

Seems like bad judgement. And a miscarriage of justice.

 

Ta-Ta, England

 

Former British police officer Lorne Castle was sacked for not treating a teenager who (allegedly) assaulted an elderly man with “courtesy and respect.” Not kidding. Castle is appealing the verdict.

What transpired? A gang fight broke out near a McDonald's, whereupon constable Castle attempted to arrest the masked teen who was involved in the fight-- and who allegedly assaulted the elderly man. The officer tackled the teen, who then began yelling as a knife fell out of his pocket. Castle subsequently instructed the perpetrator to “stop screaming like a b*tch” and arrested him.

A misconduct panel apparently didn’t like the fact that Castle told the knife wielding assailant to “stop screaming like a b*tch,” and therefore concluded that Castle had not treated the violent criminal suspect “with courtesy and respect.”

Castle, who had once previously saved a woman from drowning, told GB News, “The intention was to arrest a potentially violent subject without any injuries and to make sure it was safe. I know I made that split [second] decision with no ill intent.”

It is important that law-enforcement officers, many of whom risk their lives on a daily basis trying to save the lives of others and otherwise protect those they serve, refrain from using coarse language, or even the mildest of oaths when attempting to arrest criminals, whether they be armed with deadly weapons or not. In today’s society where nearly every television show, movie, and advertisement is filled with F-bombs and other curse words, “b*tch” might seem harmless and almost quaint. Not so. Who are we to say how a masked, knife-wielding gangbanger or a garden-variety street thug might internalize such a label? Why, it might cause them such angst and pain that they turn to a life of…never mind.

Sarcasm aside, it is mind-boggling and tragic how criminals are coddled in the West today, even as law-abiding patriotic citizens are mocked, cancelled, fined, or imprisoned for “conservative” tweets, questioning elections, or criticizing governments. And, yes, I’m directing much of this at you, United Kingdom. And Canada.

But, sadly, things aren’t much better here in the States. Illegal aliens have been feted, given free stuff, and been dispersed across the fruited plane. Hardened criminals who have been arrested countless times are let go, many to commit heinous crimes. Cashless bail, the defund the police movement, open borders, etc., etc.

How the hell is it possible that so many people cheer the likes of George Floyd, Luigi Mangione, and Tyler Robinson while simultaneously wanting to visit violence upon ICE officers and those with whom they disagree politically? Likely for the same reason that many believe abortion “rights” should be sacrosanct while those silently praying outside an abortion mill should be arrested. Strip it down to what it is folks, and don’t be afraid of the truth. Ever. It is good versus evil. Period.

Antifa shouldn’t get a pass while Jan. 6ers are still held in confinement. Those who perpetrated the Russia-Collusion Hoax and utilized government departments and funds to take down a sitting president just because they didn’t like him should face the consequences. But they won’t. No one involved with the COVID-1984 scandals, Arctic Frost, or any other criminal enterprise directed against Trump, parents who attend schoolboard meetings, conservative Catholics, or certain taxpayers, has been—or ever will be—held accountable. Adam Schiff, Hillary Clinton, Jim Comey, James Clapper, John Brennan, Peter Strzok, and all the assorted other bad actors and traitors have not been held to account in any substantive way, shape, or form. And you know they never will be. Because, while they are vile, aggressive, and forward thinking, the vast majority of Republicans are not. So, game over. These radical, Jacobin Democrats commit these crimes knowing full well that if a future Republican administration tries to hold them to account, they will scream that—just as they predicted—the hate-filled, jack-booted fascists will seek to arrest their political opponents and lay waste to “our democracy.” And the remoras in the pathetically compliant lap-dog mainstream media will be only too happy—and aroused—to repeat this satanic propaganda.

But never mind. Let us return to what really matters. Policemen, constables, gendarmes-- and the like-- if you encounter a mass shooting event, make sure not to say “darn it” or call the mass murderer “a monster.” If you come upon a serial stabber, resist the urge to call him a “son-of-a-gun,” or “naughty boy.” Similarly, if it is obvious a radical Islamic suicide bomber is about to blow up a bistro or corner bar, eschew all forms of Islamophobia, and do not utter “egads!”

In showing such restraint, your misconduct panel or board will not have to sack you…though quite a few others may die. Damn it! Oops, sorry.

 

Taxes, Donations, Fees, Tips...Oh My!

 

I recently stopped at Walgreens to buy a birthday card. Upon checkout, the clerk told me that I owed $8.57 after taxes for the $7.95 card. She then said, “Care to round up your purchase? The change goes to indigenous youth with cleft palates. That would just take it from $8.57 to, umm, like $9 even.”

 “Oh, well, okay,” I said.

She then asked, “Would you like to donate $10 to feed the starving children?”

“No, not today. I did yesterday,” I replied.

“$5 for autistic Somali children?”

“No.”

“$2 for trans youth?”

“N0.”

“$1 for veterans with Irritable Bowel Syndrome?“

“Not today.”

“Oh, and I forgot to mention there is a $2 processing fee.”

“What, a processing fee for ringing up a greeting card?!”

“Yes, that just came through last week.” I handed the clerk $20 and she struggled with how much to give back in change. I told her. She promptly pushed an iPad towards me on the counter.

“What’s this?” I asked.

“That’s for the tip,” she answered.  I looked down at the iPad and saw three options: 25%, 50% (suggested), and 100% (thank you!).

“A minimum 25% tip for ringing up a greeting card and asking if I’d like to donate to everyone else on earth?!”

“Yes.”

“I am not bleeping tipping you! I didn't charge the store a fee for picking up the pop can on the floor when I walked in! And I didn't ask you for a tip after I explained to you that 20 - 11 = 9 when you were trying to give me my change!”

She cried. And cried.

“Oh, all right, here’s five bucks cash.”

She smiled.

Walking out I saw the Salvation Army setting up their red kettle. “Care to—”

Wasn’t in the mood after I was just essentially asked to pay $43.50 for an already overpriced greeting card.

(And most of us have tried to purchase concert tickets. Face value of, say, $75. Want to be seated so you can hear the performer? That’ll be another $100. Want to be seated so you can see the performer? That’ll be another $200. And then state taxes and environmental fees are added on. And processing fees. Etc. Etc. When you finally go to pay, the tickets cost you a $1,500 each.)

I know how this all started. I once gave 10 bucks to a foundation I was fond of and now get approximately 37 pieces of mail a week asking for donations. I never knew there were so many groups out there. And it's not good enough to donate once a year, or a little here and there when you can. Oh, no, they want you to pick a set amount monthly, starting out at 50 bucks, with checkboxes subsequently going up to $1000 or even more. “Can't do that?” they ask. “Then just send in the $11.68 it cost us to mail you this letter.” The hell it cost you $11.68 to mail this letter to me, I think. And, also, I didn't bleeping ask for you to do so! No matter, a few weeks later, I get additional letters asking if I would like to just turn over my estate to the cause when I die. Yes, I'll just forget my kids and spouse and descendants and turn everything over to them! That's kind of a big ask, is it not?! Don't think I'd have the cajones to ask that of anybody, even folks and organizations with a hell of a lot more cash and resources than I have.

Come to think of it, I'm going to send out letters to everybody I know, every organization that has been shaking me down for years, and possibly every other person and entity on the planet, asking them to donate to me.

After going out to eat, purchasing two concert tickets, and that trip to Walgreens to buy a birthday card, I am going to need all the financial help I can get.

Rich Nations Getting Poorer As Immigrant Populations Swell

 

The Telegraph headline read, “The ‘rich countries’ are no longer in any state to pay for everyone else.”

At this point, that shouldn’t be surprising. Join the club.

I’m a middle-class kind of guy… who has worked extremely long and hard for what I have. I am taxed to the hilt. Yet everyone wants a donation. From me to them. There are fees and charges attached to every good and service I purchase. I’d like to be able to do more for others, but I am soon tapped out and wondering how I am going to support my family and leave a little for my offspring. There are a great many of us in the same proverbial boat.

There is an old song by Ten Years After, titled “I’d Love to Change the World,” with lyrics that read in part, “Tax the rich, feed the poor, till there are no rich no more.” That is the way it works with the (formerly) wealthy nations, as well. Many Western nations have given so much abroad and created such vast and elaborate welfare bureaucracies at home-- and allowed welcomed such astronomical numbers of immigrants into their countries (most from places that are not only poor but bereft of basic notions of civilization and liberty), that they themselves are now teetering on the edge of poverty and chaos.

These nations are taxing their ever fewer productive citizens at an unsustainable rate, even as they usher in millions of undocumented migrants, many of whom are looking for a handout rather than an opportunity. Declining fertility rates lead to declining domestic populations and fewer workers to support an ever-aging population and the vast welfare state. Wealth redistribution dwarfs defense spending. The middle-class dissolves as a permanent underclass swells. Leftists think this is a good thing, insofar as they believe it makes them indispensable and cements their power for eternity. Which also assures that these nations will never be great, prosperous, or free again. In addition, there is an obsessive focus on spending ourselves into oblivion attempting to fight “global warming,” which is likely not even occurring, at least due to man, and is certainly outside of our ability to control.

And then there is the looming threat that A.I. could lead to the elimination of hundreds of thousands or even millions of jobs. Where would that leave us?

I, too, would like to change the world. To change it in a beneficial direction, Western countries would have to find their Mojo, confidence, and independence. Their governments would have to dramatically restrict or eliminate illegal immigration, reduce taxes and regulation, cease punishing productivity and rewarding sloth, return to Judeo-Christian values (gasp!), protect the inherent rights of the individual, and re-emphasize their histories and traditions.

How likely does this all seem to you?

 

America Transitioning Too

America is transitioning. And it seems to want to identify as a gay, Muslim, Socialist. In any case, it is transitioning from meritocratic to entitled. From Melting Pot to Identity Salad. From Capitalism to Socialism. (The stated point and goal of which is Communism.) From Christian to Pagan and Islamic. (That mix can’t last long.) From limited government to massive government. From tolerant to utterly intolerant of those deemed intolerant because they aren’t “progressive” enough. From mature to infantile. From strong to feminized. From rational and pragmatic to emotional and insane. From desiring opportunity and loving liberty to desiring free stuff and loving being taken care of. From relishing challenge and adventure and seeking new frontiers to relishing ease and screen time and seeking safe spaces and security. From……well, you get the point.

Of course, all nations experience change and transition. But the change that many Western nations are experiencing is of a different pace and character. It is demographic. It is rapid. And it is debilitating. And, in large part, it is self-inflicted. We are aiding and abetting the invasion of our erstwhile sovereign nations by people who would rather conquer than assimilate-- and the consequent chaos that necessarily ensues. Because most of the immigrants are coming from third world countries with no notion of the intricacies of a free, democratic republic, they continue to act as they would at home, getting what they can for themselves and their clan, the hell with everyone else.

Mark my words: obsessive empathy and hyper-tolerance Inevitably lead to diversity…… of disfunction, depravity, and death.

The New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America is demanding that the city divest its pension funds from Israeli bonds and securities and ban Israeli products from the network of proposed city-run grocery stores. Among many other demands, including that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu be arrested if he should dare to set foot in the Big Apple. What chutzpah! What gives them the right to arrest foreign leaders with whom they disagree? Should, say, the mayor of Miami have the right to arrest Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney or even London Mayor Sadiq Khan should they foolishly dare to set foot in the 305 (Miami)?

The growing Socialist-Muslim alliance, as epitomized by New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, is truly frightening. The Nazis were Socialists who hated the Jews. But they didn’t have a great deal of traction outside of Germany. Are we really going to do this again? Are we in the West going to allow another group to target Jews? Even from within our borders? Apparently so.

Incredibly, if ironically (and humorously), Somali Muslims like Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) want to boot fellow Muslims out of the country if they decline to vote for her/their approved candidates.

Sharia Law is utterly incompatible with a free, democratic republic. That is not an opinion. They are diametrically opposed to each other. Socialism is diametrically opposed to a free, democratic republic, too. Both Sharia Law and Socialism eschew the individual liberty that our founders so cherished.

 

The Real Authoritarians

 

Democrat politicians incessantly call for “civility” and “reaching across the aisle.” They endlessly blather on about “saving our democracy,” even though we don’t live in a democracy, but a Constitutional representative republic. By design, as democracies always destroy themselves, as soon as the majority of the people shed their morality and decide to vote themselves largess, everybody else be damned. And, of course, they constantly bellow and bloviate about their political opponents being fascists, Hitler-lovers, authoritarians. That is all complete bunk. B.S.

Though Virginia attorney general candidate* Jay Jones once openly mused about assassinating his erstwhile political rival—and watching his children perish-- Democratic gubernatorial candidate* Abigail Spanberger is okay with that. In fact, she was hoping to boost her odds of winning her race with a Charlotte campaign event featuring Bill Nye "the Science Guy" and Biden Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, each of whom are also apparently okay with Jones’ Jonesing for the death of his political opponent…and the demise of his kids, too. Former President Barack Obama has also endorsed Spanberger and plans to attend her Norfolk rally on November 1, according to Spanberger’s campaign website. Obama stated: "Virginia's elections are some of the most important in the country this year, and I am proud to endorse Abigail Spanberger for governor.” And Spanberger is proud to endorse the campaign of a homicidal maniac like Jim Jay Jones.

In related news, associates of New York City Mayoral candidate* Zohran Mamdani threatened the New York Post for reporting on his ties to radical Islam and his favorite Imam, Siraj Wahhaj. The Post noted that Mamdani happily posed with an unindicted co-conspirator in the Blind Sheikh’s plot to bomb NYC landmarks like the World Trade Center in 1993, spoke at a mosque that was under NYPD surveillance for its terror ties, and embraced an imam who had called for Jihad and the takeover of America.

But, in today’s Democrat Party, it is not enough to be violent and vulgar, or even to wish death upon your political opponents (perhaps by your own hand) and their offspring. Perish the thought. No, you must actively root for terrorists over American citizens.

Indeed, it is apparently also not considered bad form in today’s Democrat party for an old Commie standard-bearer like Bernie Sanders to stand behind (and endorses) a Maine Senate candidate who sports a SS tattoo. But Graham Platner* must be as confused as most Democrat voters, as he not only sported a Nazi “Death’s Head” tattoo, but also once claimed that he was a Communist and “not a secret Nazi.” Good to know. Oh, he also asserted that white people in rural areas are stupid and racist.

So I ask you: who are the real thugs, the real threats to America, the real fascists? Projection and prevarication are the favored tools of “progressives.” No matter what they call us, or how often they threaten us, we can’t accommodate them. We can’t compromise with them.

Saving our Constitutional representative republic requires no less of us.

(Jones, Spanberger, Mamdani, and Platner have all won their elections since this article was written.)
