Now THAT’S An Ally

In contrast to that asshole Commie Xi (see post above), I note that my current political crush EytiePM Giorgia Meloni called DJT to congratulate him on beating off [sic]  the Dark Side:

The conversation was “an opportunity to confirm the solid alliance, the strategic partnership and the deep and historic friendship that have always tied Rome and Washington,” she said.

During the phone call we expressed “our willingness to work in close coordination on all major international affairs, with the common goal of promoting stability and security, also in the framework of relations with the European Union,” she added.

The two agreed to “stay in close contact,” Meloni noted, to continue strengthening their “already excellent bilateral relations, founded on shared values ​​and principles.”

“Shared principles” include kicking out illegal migrants and hating on the mainstream Commie media.

Just to remind everyone of whom we speak:

My favorite international political hottie wasn’t finished:

Donald Trump was not the sole recipient of Meloni’s congratulations, which she also extended to billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, with whom she has had an ongoing rapport.

“In the past few hours I have spoken with my friend Elon Musk,” Meloni wrote on social media Thursday. “I am convinced that his commitment and vision will be an important resource for the United States and Italy, in a spirit of collaboration aimed at addressing future challenges.”

Musk has been an outspoken fan of Italy’s first female prime minister, declaring that she is “even more beautiful on the inside than she is on the outside,” on the occasion of presenting her with the Global Citizen Award on behalf of the Atlantic Council, a progressive American think tank, this past September.

Meloni “has done an incredible job as prime minister of Italy,” leading the country to “record economic growth and employment,” Musk said at the time.  “She is also authentic, honest, and sincere, something that cannot always be said of politicians,” Musk declared at the New York meeting.

Okay, so I’m not the only one with a crush on la nostra Giorgia.

Quote Of The Day

From Niall Ferguson:

“Henry Kissinger was a colossus who bestrode a century: he shaped politics like no other statesman and the world wouldn’t be in such a perilous state if more followed his wise and ruthlessly pragmatic approach.”

Amen to that.  If Kissinger had a fault, it was that his towering intellect, logic and pragmatism prevented him from fully understanding the attitudes of the fanatics on the other side of the negotiating table.

Of Kissinger it can truly be said that he was always — always — the smartest man in the room.  His enemies knew that, and it only added to their frustrated rage.

And you only have to see who hated him to realize that he was, mostly, correct in his approach to foreign policy — unlike the feckless and ignorant fools and children who are in charge of such things today.

Cutting The Cord

…of the Belt and Road initiative.  A simple Q&A:

Should the United States continue to fund China’s aggressive military buildup?
— No.

Should the United States make every effort to move U.S.-based manufacturing out of China?
— Yes.

Should the United States make every effort to encourage alternatives to Chinese manufacturing?
— Yes.

Will the United States government actually do any of this stuff?
–Of course not.

Should the United States government be hanged en masse for endangering the welfare of the nation?
–Of course they should.

Here’s the background to all the above.

News Roundup (Biden Solo Edition)

It was all too much.  I tried like hell to suppress it, but the urge was too great.


oooh I bet that pissed off the old Commie bitch, even though he didn’t mean it (see below).


well, duh.  They’re anti-Communist, and he isn’t.


…sees no reason to ban travel from such a large continent:


which means it’s doomed.


probably because we already did.


even though he blocked the Keystone XL pipeline, which will help them do just that.


I just want to hear President Braindead explain the technology, without notes.

And now, some vintage pics of Jill Biden at the beach…

Not Interested

Via Stephen Green at Insty I see that the NorKs are giving President Braindead’s diplomatic initiative the cold shoulder:

The White House said it had not received any response to repeated efforts to reach out to Pyongyang. The news comes as Joe Biden has sent his top diplomatic and military representatives to Asia.

At first glance, one would be puzzled at the Norks’ indifference, because when the Democrats are in control of the country, our “diplomatic initiatives” are most likely to be in the order of “Come to the table so we can bend ourselves over it”.

But considering that the Norks don’t jump unless the ChiComs first tell them how high, all is explained.  Beijing isn’t interested in any kind of diplomacy with the U.S. when they know they can just bully the flabby-kneed idiots in the State Department and White House to get them to do what they want us to do.

And Biden’s “top diplomatic and military representatives” are likely to be complete morons and milquetoasts, so small wonder.

Never mind missing Trump;  I miss Mike Pompeo just as much.
