I loved visiting Chile back in 2015. The country was lovely, the people were friendly, and the food was not only fantastic but cheap.
The problem is that in Chile, the ghosts of Augusto Pinochet and Salvador Allende are still a presence in the country — the former in country-club toasts like “To General Pinochet: the savior of Chile”, and the latter in the elections such as the last one, which installed a Marxist government.
Speaking of the Marxists, they wasted no time in drawing up a new (Communist) constitution for Chile, which they put up to the vote last week.
Seems as though the Chileans figured it all out, though, because they voted down the proposed constitution, 62%-38%.
Predictably, the Left had promoted the new constitution with rallies in their usual manner, such as this one:
One particularly alienating performance occurred in the city of Valparaiso just a week before the vote at an event in favor of the new constitution when “a drag queen had the national flag pulled out of his rectum while his bandmates encouraged the audience to ‘abort Chile,’” according to the Economist, resulting in widespread outrage.
Valparaiso, lest we forget, is the birthplace of Augusto Pinochet, where women place fresh flowers reverently outside his old house every day. This is not the place for the Left to let their freak flag fly, as fellow-Lefty David Crosby once crooned; but they did, and then wondered why the people told them to jump off a building.
I bet a lot of Chileans would support Lefties jumping from helicopters far out at sea, too.
Like I said, Pinochet’s ghost is never far away.
Update: the Communist Party (U.S. Division) are dismayed at all that democracy.
While I’m all over the idea of some stout patriot bringing down a modern jet with a hunting rifle, this one just flat-out didn’t happen:
VLADIMIR PUTIN will be left fuming after a Ukrainian pensioner shot down a SU-35 fighter jet over the skies of Chernihiv, according to claims. Marketed as “world-beating”, the plane costs a whopping £74 million to manufacture. The jets have been deployed to Ukraine and have flown many sorties during the current war. They boast all the qualities associated with the best modern fighters in the world, such as super-manoeuvrability and supersonic speed.
Yet despite these advantages, a humble Ukrainian pensioner was allegedly able to shoot down one of the jets with his hunting rifle – leaving the Russian President incandescent with rage.
Read the article, and study the photographs to understand my skepticism.
My name (Kim) is not actually a name; it’s an old Anglo-Saxon title, meaning “chief” or “chieftain” — the ancient Brit tribes not caring whether their chief was a man or a woman. It’s the reason that it can be given to either a boy or girl.
So the title for this post is to welcome the new BritPM, Liz Truss, to 10 Downing Street. Let’s have a look at her:
Okay, so she seems to have the proper ummm attributes for a chief, if you get my drift, and apparently the BritCommies and the Euros think she’s The Next Hitler, so she can’t be all bad.
Let’s see how she does.
Here’s where I stand:
Your move, motherfucker.
From the mouth of President Biden:
…which, if my trusty old math brain still works (oy), would mean that the 5.56mm poodleshooter comes out of Biden’s AR-15 barrel at 22,750 feet per second, by comparing it to the similarly-sized .22-250 Remington bullet (4,550 FPS).
The actual muzzle velocity of the 5.56mm bullet is, as we all know, about 3,250 fps.
So President Brain-Dead was exaggerating by a factor of seven, or flat-out lying, or he was just in his customary state of senile dementia. All three combined, of course, cannot be ruled out.
