From Richard III:

Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this Donald Trump;

Honestly, everything that the God-Emperor has done over the past couple days has had me giggling like a schoolgirl.

Out of the WHO? — check
No more Paris Climate Accord? — check
Eliminate birthright citizenship? — check
Sends fed (non-)workers back to the office? — check
End federal government affirmative action? — check
Toss out the anti-gunners? — check
Pardon the J6ers? — check
Fuck this DEI bullshit? — check
Ditto the Pride bullshit? — check
Take away security clearances from the unworthy? — check

…and so on.

Even better is that his capos  (Rubio, Homan) are likewise kicking butt (they already have the names;  they don’t need to take them).  Gawd knows what will happen when Pete Hegseth gets to Defense and Pam Bondi to the DOJ… but personally, I can’t wait.

Not just all the above, but the media and other socialist scum are running around with their hair on fire, which is immensely satisfying.

I need a cigarette… and I don’t even smoke.

But THEY are.

Please, sir:  can I have some more?

Kindred Spirits

Since the re-election of Donald Trump, for the first time in my life I feel the same way that Parisians did on July 25, 1944:

(All the above are from the API archives, from back when they were an actual news organization and not a bunch of tranzi assholes.)

To quote Craig Ferguson:  “It’s a great day in America!”

A Ban To Get Behind

Generally speaking, I tend to be somewhat of a libertarian when it comes to banning stuff, because it either doesn’t work or else has the opposite effect to the stated goal by creating a “forbidden fruit” cachet around the thing.

However, when it comes to banning the chilluns from using their cell phones at school, I’m all over the idea, and here’s one reason why:

One of the first UK schools to ban mobile phones has revealed their pupils are now more sociable and involved in activities than ever before.  12 years ago Burnage Academy for Boys, in Greater Manchester, banned phones — with associate assistant head teacher Greg Morrison now saying that ban’s made a “big impact” in the school.

Phones are not allowed among pupils at any point — including break times — until the end of the school day.

Last year it was named UK Secondary School of the Year at the 2024 TES Schools Awards in London, with judges praising it as an “inspiring and inclusive school where students thrive, love learning and achieve exceptionally well.”

Well well well, who could have predicted this outcome?

“Only anyone with a brain and common sense, Kim.”

Better Than Yeti Or Stanley

LOL well that didn’t take long.  DOGE merch is now for sale.

Honesty compels me to state that I know the person behind this cool idea (the wife of one of my best friends), but I get absolutely NO kickback or other such reward for punting it on this website.

Honesty also compels me to state that it’s kinda spendy, but no more so than the aforementioned Yeti / Stanley stuff.
