White is bad

The ideological attack on white men in the United States has gained considerably in recent years, including a series of blatantly racial attacks. 

Simply put, being white in America has become inherently bad.

For example, Rolling Stone recently highlighted the arrest of a man the publication contends wanted his compatriots to rape white women and kill blacks to increase the majority of Caucasians in America. 

“[A] former U.S. Marine plotted mass murder and sexual assault to ‘decrease the number of minority residents’ in the United States as part of his membership in a far-right neo-Nazi group, ‘Rapekrieg,’ the news organization writes. 

“Belanger was the subject of an FBI Joint Terrorism Taskforce investigation into allegedly plotting to ‘engage in widespread homicide and sexual assault.’ Much of Belanger’s ideology and plotting…is based around a desire to lessen the number of nonwhite Americans and to rape ‘white women to increase the production of white children,'” Rolling Stone contends.

What’s noteworthy about the report is the final paragraph: The Senate Armed Services Committee recently stated that the Pentagon was spending too much money on investigating such matters because the number of individuals is so small.  

So why does Rolling Stone even report the arrest? Because it promotes a frequent meme: Marines are primarily white, rightist wingnuts rather than soldiers who deserve the nation’s respect. 

But there’s more. Atlantic published an article equating Catholic rosaries with extremism. “Just as the AR-15 rifle has become a sacred object for Christian nationalists in general, the rosary has acquired a militaristic meaning for radical-traditional (or ‘rad trad’) Catholics,” Atlantic’s Daniel Panneton writes.

“On this extremist fringe, rosary beads have been woven into a conspiratorial politics and absolutist gun culture,” Panneton adds. “These armed radical traditionalists have taken up a spiritual notion that the rosary can be a weapon in the fight against evil and turned it into something dangerously literal.”

Just think about the outrage if someone wrote that worry beads were a sign of a terrorist in the Middle East.

But there’s even more. Wired, known primarily as a tech publication, has picked up the anti-white meme in a book review. 

“Whiteness is a seduction. Whiteness is also an illusion. These are the twin motifs on which Pakistani writer Mohsin Hamid props up The Last White Man, his latest novel,” Wired states. 

The novel focuses on how whites wake up as nonwhites and how society becomes better for the change.

It’s heartening that Atlantic’s outrageous slander against Catholics has faced some blowback on social media. Still, it appears that the current meme in the media elite is to publish even more outrageous and offensive attacks against whites.  

If Trump Were President Today…

The VAERS site would be the most promoted site in the world, and every failure from what would be deemed the “Trump Vaccine” would be blamed on him.

The anniversary of the withdrawal from Afghanistan would be a front page story about how woman and children are being treated by the regime and how said withdrawal (while done without leaving equipment & without heavy causalities) put those people back in the dark ages.

The devastating heat wave that hit this country would be blamed on him for not passing climate legislation.

There would be marches across the nation in blue cities tagging him as a bigot for suggesting that Monkeypox is a disease primarily spread by Gay Sex.

And Germany, France and the rest of Europe would still be laughing at him for suggesting they are too dependent on Russian Gas.

An Army of Grifters & Goodfellas in Government

Henry Hill (narrating) Janice and I were having so much fun,she started screwing up at work.  I had to straighten out her boss a little .

Henry Hill (while strangling Janice boss) F***** Janice can do what she wants to do!  You Got it?!
Janice's Boss:  I got it!
Henry Hill:  You got it
Jimmy Conway:  Just try and run. Hang up once more and you'll deal with me!
Good Fellas 1990

I was looking at Kurt Schlichter’s latest piece and there was a section in it that neatly summed up one of the things that is wrong with the country today:

What was the name of a guy fired for failing to win in Afghanistan, or Iraq for that matter?

What is the name of a guy who resigned and said “I’ll be no part of this idiocy?”

None. 

No one.

When actions do not lead to consequences there is no incentive to perform. When there is no incentive to perform or get things right, things go to hell, and when you have government agencies acting like Henry Hill and Jimmy Conway when dealing those who want to fix the problems that’s worse.

Put simply our government is being run like a vast criminal conspiracy to defraud the American people and the FBI & authorities are acting like the mob enforcers to keep people in line.

Is that the government you want for yourself?

Monday is the first anniversary of the fall of Kabul, the second-most ignominious event America endured in my lifetime, only the fall of Saigon was worse.

A month prior the more recent debacle, Joe Biden had this to say, “There’s going to be no circumstance where you’re going to see people being lifted off the roof of an embassy of the United States from Afghanistan. It is not at all comparable.” That did happen–and of course the two black eyes for America are quite comparable.

Biden did what he, well, sort of, does best. He blamed Donald Trump for the Taliban victory. True, Biden inherited the agreement engineered by Trump–not a treaty, but an agreement–for the United States military to depart Afghanistan last year. And Biden didn’t even hold to Trump’s agreement, he postponed the withdrawal of US troops from May 1 to the ominous date of September 11. Because of the rout of the Afghan government forces by the Taliban, we were gone in late August–but after the tragic murder by terrorists of 13 members our military. 

What a mess. 

Who was fired after Afghanistan fell? Not the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark A. Milley (a Trump appointee), not secretary of State Anthony Blinken, not secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. 

No one.

A humiliation.

Milley, in a closed door meeting shortly before Russia invaded Ukraine, testified that Kiev, the Ukrainian capital, could fall within three days after hostilities broke out

Yes, he’s really a general.

As the Taliban mopped up in Afghanistan, Biden assured Americans that al Qaeda was gone from there. But a few weeks ago the leader of the terror group, Ayman al-Zawahiri, was living in Kabul. That is, until an American drone strike killed him.

Last year there was a supply-chain crisis. What member of the Biden cabinet should have been answerable for that? Pete Buttigieg, the secretary of Transportation, who we learned–only after the media came looking for him–was on paternity leave as the supply-chain crisis unfolded

To be fair, Biden’s Treasury secretary, Janet Yellen, recently admitted she was wrong when she said last year that inflation was “transitory.” But like Buttigieg, she’s still on the job. 

Alejandro Mayorkas, the Homeland Secretary, claims our southern border is secure. (Insert the Kevin Bacon Animal House “all is well” meme here.) Mayorkas is a DC swamp critter that Biden seemingly found by looking for him under rocks. Yeah, I know, Mayorkas is simply following Biden’s far-left policy of open borders. And Jennifer Granholm, leading the Department of Energy, is kowtowing to the anti-energy zealotry of the extreme left. They are still on the job too.

Trump was a great steward of the American economy and he didn’t involve America in any new wars. And as a businessman he knew sometimes people have fired, his most prominent dismissals were his secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, and James Comey, the director of the FBI. Sadly, Trump botched the appointment of Comey’s replacement by naming Christopher Wray to that post.

Last month in this space I wrote that Biden’s attorney, general, Merrick Garland, was America’s worst AG since Harry M. Daugherty, a prominent member of Warren G. Harding’s corrupt “Ohio Gang.” I was wrong. After last week’s unprecedented raid on the home of a former president, Garland, the progenitor of our politicized two-tiered justice system, is worse. 

Then again, “Moderate Merrick,” like Mayorkas and Granholm, is another clerk just taking orders. 

Biden, a failed president who is clearly suffering from cognitive decline, can turn things around, a little bit, with one big firing.

Himself.

His vice president, Kamala Harris, could be a slightly better president. Biden dramatically lowered the standard.

Perhaps Harris can write some pink slips.
