Gettin’ Serious

A leading indicator that some serious work will be needing done is heralded by stuff like this:

The U.S. Army on Monday released a recruitment ad that critics argue is a sure sign the military is gearing up for war.

There are no signs of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the 30-second spot, which features white males jumping out of a plane. 

Yup:  when it comes time to make war in earnest, ain’t nothin’ like a bunch of White men to get the job done.

And for those People Of Color who won’t respond to the ads because “there ain’t no Black men in the picture”:  by all means, stay the fuck away and let the professionals do the work.

When there’s hard work to be done, there’s no time for “feelings” or “representation”.  As the Army seems to have realized.

News Roundup

 

(Chris Muir has been on fire recently)

In Glueball Jewhate News:


...the only question being:  other than Embassy staff (because it’s their job), WTF are any Americans doing in that shithole?  And speaking of shitholes:


...to the surprise of absolutely nobody, seeing as the ANC are terrorist scum, just like Hamas.  And speaking of nobodies:


...yeah maybe, asswipe;  but like the pigs in Animal Farm, some hands are a lot more dirty than others.  Yours, for instance, you malodorous terrorsymp.  And speaking of asswipes:


...of course he does, the feckless girlyman, because all the statistics show that more “migrants”, more crime.  And he likes crime, especially as he’s trying his best to disarm the existing Canucki population.

Finally, a reversal:


...not much fun when it happens to your lot, is it?

And in other Great Cultural Assimilation News:


...note:  islands.  Side note:  where’s General Franco when we need him?  Or Pinochet, for that matter?

And in Sorta-Legal News:


...well it sure as fuck isn’t a real trial, either.  It’s more of a political stunt than anything else.


...wait:  you mean it hasn’t been banned yet, Over There?

There’s always Global Warming Climate Cooling Change© News:


...oh dear.  Did we get it all wrong?

In Financial News:


...and:



...isn’t there a statute of limitations on this bullshit?  And if not, why not?  And speaking of sex:


...actually, it’s all about how he doesn’t let his young son watch porn, but there ya go.

And in our favorite department, INSIGNIFICA:

      ...”Fuck me, Jack” ?

And finally, in Slut News:


...who she?  you ask.  Some Brit TV reality tart, nothing special:

And in an earlier incarnation:

Got the idea?  I think so.

Ask Not For Whom The Bell Tolls Etc.

Stephen Moore has an excellent “story of the film so far” about the Net Zero / Green energy / no more cars with engines / unicorn fart-based energy initiative:

The Wall Street Journal reported last week that “clean energy” investment funds are tanking, with some down as much as 70% in recent months. Solar has been one of the worst-performing industry stocks this year.

This collapse is happening right when Exxon and Chevron have engineered a combined $110 billion blockbuster acquisitions to expand oil and gas drilling in the Permian Basin in Texas, one of the biggest oil fields in the world. This year, they both reported their largest profits ever.

They and their investors are looking at the real-world data, not green energy propaganda. In 2023, the world is guzzling oil and gas like never before. Global consumption of fossil fuels was higher in 2022 than at any time in human history, even as the developed countries spend hundreds of billions of dollars trying to stop oil, gas and coal.

As they say:  follow the money.  All the politicians’ wishful thinking won’t change the nature of the world (i.e. reality), as much as they’d like to think it can.

Italians: Never Trust ‘Em

I think it was Richard Hammond who, on the old Top Gear show, pointed out that Ferrari’s technical statistics were often flat-out lies:  “How many horsepower does our new model have?  A million!”

It’s not just their statistics, though.  Try this one on for size:

Legendary Italian car maker Ferrari has no intention of phasing out combustion engines and going fully electric or hybrid anytime soon, promising Sunday to keep making the eight and 12-cylinder engines it has made its trademark at least until the end of the 2030s. (May 2023)

And then there’s this one:

An iconic supercar brand is set to launch its first ever EV, with a new factory already in the works.  The luxury car giant is planning to open a new facility in Italy to produce its new all-electric models.

Who could this be, this “luxury car giant”?

Ferrari boss Benedetto Vigna confirmed that the company was on the right track in developing a new electric car.  (November 2023)

I know, I know:  this isn’t exactly a lie:  Ferrari never said that they’d make only internal combustion engine (ICE) cars… but they sure as hell skated around the issue.

Just as they do with their technical specs.

And of course, they’ll cheat when it comes to the sound their new Duracell cars will make.

Bastardi.

Cenotaph Update

Yesterday we learned that “football hooligans” (a.k.a. loyal and decent Brits) are going to stop the Pal terrorsymps from taking over the Remembrance Day memorial.

Now we have this:

Football hooligans alliance supporters warn fans ‘do not come tooled up’ with weapons as they bid to ‘protect’ the Cenotaph from pro-Palestine protest – and sell out coaches for hundreds to head to London.

My thought is precisely the opposite:  by all means bring weapons, because you have to know that the “peaceful” terrorsymps surely will — and the last thing you need is to face some dangerous asshole down with only your fists when he’s carrying a “sign-holder” (club).

No no:  bring weapons yourselves, but do not brandish them or take them out — ever — unless you’re physically attacked.

Then have at it, and may the best thug win.

No doubt someone’s going to have a problem with this, but I don’t care.  Even in Britishland, one should have the proper (and lawful) means of self-defense, e.g. a pair of sap gloves (as worn by the cops, ergo legal), and some kind of head protection (e.g. one of these).  I had both on my last visit to Britishland, but I just never told anyone about them.

I also recommend carrying a sign (suitably provocative) affixed to a pickax handle.

It’s all about freedom of expression, innit?
