Yes I think Bama is Going to Win

Lots of folks have been asking me about the game tonight.   Yes... I very much believe Bama is going to beat Sparty.   No doubt everyone will say this is because I'm a Bama fan... but I would counter this by saying that Bama is a 10 point favorite.

So pretty much everyone is a Bama fan by that logic.

I'm sure there are die hard Sparty fans out there that truely believe they are a better team than Bama is.    Objectively... that's simply irrational.   That's ok though.  Sports isn't rational.  No matter how much we pretend it is. 

I can list all the reasons Bama is better than Sparty.  I can tell you that Sparty is a great team but it doesn't matter because they are built wrong.  Sparty is going to line up and try out Bama Bama.  Well you can't out Bama Bama.  Sparty isn't the kind of team that gives Bama trouble.  But none of that matters.   There is a game tonight.

That's what matters.


And... we all know the truth.   The truth is... no bama fan....  no bama player... no bama coach... was disappointed or scared or bummed about hearing they were playing Sparty.


We also know that most Sparty fans felt a sinking feeling as soon as they heard they were getting Bama.  And there is a rather infamous video that shows at least one of their players felt the same thing.

The Dumbest Thing On The Internet

That's it.   Close up shop.  Hit the lights and lock up on your way out.   We have found The Dumbest Thing on the Internet.

I thought 2 girls 1 cup was the sickest stupidest thing depicted...  but after reading this... I had to reconsider.

Here ya go kids.  

50 Reasons Why I Don't Drink

Because lets face it...  when you go looking for the truly stupid... you have to find some idiot do-gooder in the Christian Ghetto.  

Lets look at some of our favorites from this gem.

3. Alcohol is a depressant.  Anything that depresses should be avoided at all costs.

So...  apparently this idiot can't tell the difference between psychology and chemistry.  We can also conclude that she doesn't take allergy medicine... or you know...nyquil.  Because apparently those things make you sad. 



Ya know what...  I can't.  I can't even do this.   I wanted to go through and destroy this idiot line by line... but I just can't bring myself to do it.

By posting this video... I make no commentary on the quality... or political implications of this video.  It is here solely for informational purposes.

Calamondin Whiskey Sours?

Six and Racheal clearly had a lot of fun on Christmas Eve.  Do watch all the way to the end.  You don't want to miss the dedication.

ScotteVest Quest Vest

Several years ago we started seeing tech specific gear started showing up on sites like ThinkGeek.  At first they hoodies and such... mostly for kids...  they would have a specific pocket for a cellphone or mp3 player and clips that would hold the cord for your ear buds in place.

I thought this sort of thing was cool but... I'm not an idiot... so I don't wander around with earbuds in all day.  So... imagine my joy when I learned that this type of outerwear has in fact grown up.

Sure the ear bud clips are till there... but now?  Now you have specific power pockets made for you to store your external batteries... and you can route power cords through the lining to the pockets where you keep things like cellphones or tablets.  

Suddenly this is lot more interesting eh?

And not just that but you have weight retention systems in them now to help even the load.  I have been eying these things for a long time.  And what do ya know...  Merry Christmas Nate... DrWho came through ya!

She got me the Q.U.E.S.T. vest by these folks.

The thing has 42 pockets.   And in case you're wondering... none of them are actually labelled for a firearm... but I can assure you... there are lots of places that are perfect for one.  Just as a test I put 2 steyr m40s... 4 extra mags... and a snubby 357 all in the vest.   I still had room for my phone, wallet, keys, 2 knives... a pen... glasses... oh yeah... and a freaking bottle of water.  Just to be a dick I put a laptop in one of the pockets too.

I'll allow... the laptop was over the top.  But it could be done.  That's the bizarre thing.  If I had to walk around with that laptop in there... I could do it.  No big deal.  I wouldn't like doing it all day long.. but you can definately do it.

And the weapons?

Invisible.

This is a very light vest too.

I'm impressed.  I'm gonna do a long term update on it later.  But if you carry a lot of stuff, especially a lot of tech... give these things a look.  They're awesome.

The Holiest Night

I suppose we all find our own traditions to be the best way to spend Christmas Eve.  Indeed I cannot fathom a better way than what we do...  but I would be deeply disappointed if you didn't feel the same way about what ever it is you do.

We always make a grand feast for Christmas Eve...  its usually a giant roast... 7 pounds or so...  that's cooked all the live long day.

See our chuch has a service at 6pm... and its just about everyone's favorite service of the year.    We call it the service of light.  At the end of the service the whole congregation... everyone from the 2 year olds to the 90 year olds.. have a candle.  all of them are lit...  and the lights in the santurary are turned off while we sing Silent Night.

After that... its home... to the feast...  Fried Okra... Roast Beast... Corn Casserole... Mashed Potatoes and Gravy...  glorious.  GLORIOUS!

And the family all shows up. 

And we open presents from the extended family...  so its a big celebration...  And the kids are all in their special PJ elf pajamas.  see..  PJ elves deliver special pajamas every year for Christmas eve which are made to help the kids sleep better that special night.

and then... when everyone is ready for bed... I read A Visit From Saint Nicholas to the family.

Then the kids all peacefully drift off to sleep

And the Chaos starts.  The glorious beloved Chaos.

That doesn't end until about 5pm on Christmas Day.


Merry Christmas.   We are all blessed every one.  And I sincerely thank you for reading and commenting here.

You're the only reason I do it.

God Bless.

Fine Art

This is called The Nativity, by Geri Melcher.   This is the Holy Family...  after the birth but before the Angels and Shepherds showed up.  Mary is exhausted.  Joseph...  looking down at the Lord.

This is to my eye... art perfected.

It is both comforting and disquieting at the same time.

I suppose it will surprise most of you, at least those who have never actually visited my house, but DrWho and I very much appreciate art.  The walls of our house are covered with paintings.  Many of which are originals.  We're not hoity toity about it.  We buy what we like.  If there is a story... all the better.  This though...this is special.  

It may be a little high brow for this blog... but I'd very much like to know what ya'll think of it.

Fisking the Idiot Star Wars Reviewer

In case you missed it... over at Vox's Game blog, Alpha Game, Vox posted some moron's review of The Force Awakens.   Its amazingly stupid... which lets face it... is pretty much what you have to expect from a game blog... even Vox's.   His comments are in italics.  My own are in bold.  Remember this is not Vox's review.  He didnt' write it.  Some idiot did.

***WARNING:  EPIC SPOILERS FOLLOW***



You’ll be glad you didn’t see Star Wars VII: The Farce Awakens. The glaring questions it begs are projections of the female imperative.

Wait what?  Female Imperative?   What the hell does that even mean?  What are you some 35 year old fat virgin from a game blog venting his sexual frustrations on a movie?


Darth Vader, Luke, Kylo Ren, Obi Wan Kenobi, and all other force using experts in any previous Star Wars story, needed training based on years of apprenticeship with a 24/7 mentor to master the force.

Oh.  You are.   Ok then.

The entire premise of Jedi powers, like all martial skills, is that they must being “learned” and they develop over time with practice. Our heroine Rey, hinted heavily as being Luke’s daughter, instantly and without training or foreknowledge gets abilities with the force that took all other Jedi, Sith, decades to develop. So with no Jedi’s around, how does she even know the force can control weak minded storm troopers, much less use the old “you don’t need to see his papers” shtick.


Oh holy shit are you really this stupid?   Its not because she's a girl you moron.  Its because of her DNA (human biodiversity remember?) and because there are no more jedi.  Luke is on the shelf, if he was ever even a jedi at all, and all the others are gone.  There are no more jedi.  People don't even believe they existed anymore.  They are like myths.  So the Force is focusing on her to rebuild them.   This idea is beaten into the brains of the audience so hard I cannot fathom how anyone could be stupid enough to miss it.  And yet here you are.  Mouthbreathing...  taking time that you could've spent licking your favorite window... to make sure everyone knows you're to stupid it to get it.

They are both grandchildren of Darth Vader, but for some reason her untrained ability with the farce greater than her cousin’s trained ability with the force.  Morally all the new Luke, Rey, seems to be doing is self-centered and for no greater good.  Female imperative in spades, what’s good for the princess is by default the greater good.

I keep thinking this review can't get dumber... and yet...  it does.   She is doing what she's doing because she's being lead to do it by the Force.  Exactly how many extra-chromosomes do you have rattling around up there in that giant water filled head of yours?  Taking the droid to the rebels isn't "what's good for the princess" you moron.  What's good for the princess would've been taking the boatload of cash she was offered for the BB8.   And what did she do when she accomplished that?   She tried to go home.  Which is what her parents told her to do.  Look, I'm not entirely sure what window lickers mean when they say female imperative... but I'm pretty sure it doesn't mean "obeying your parents and going back to a shithole planet you hate even though you don't want to."


Using a light saber is analogous using a sword, hence to be at a level where you are proficient, much less not hurt yourself takes lots of training and effort.  Proficiency in martial skills are always in both great stories and real life acquired the same way one gets to Carnegie Hall.

hey sugartits did you happen to notice that she was pretty good at fighting already?  And what was she fighting with?  A staff.  So yes... its just completely crazy that she'd have some skill with other melee weapons isn't?  Oh and... its also just crazy that she could manage to not get killed (which is all she did) when fighting a severely wounded and not-fully-trained Kylo... who by the way was also obviously holding back because he wanted her alive. 

How can Rey without any training best Kylo Ren, the emo Darth Vader, with a light saber, while Kylo Ren has had years of training with the force and swords? Even though Vader, Anakin Skywalker, in his youth like Rey showed signs of mechanical genius and native ability with the force, to become proficient took years of training and a mentor?  When Luke first picked up a light sabre, he couldn’t deflect a laser pointer from a training drone much less use it effectively.  Even after training with both Kenobi and Yoda, Luke got his hand chopped off by Vader.

Luke was a farm boy that had never used a weapon of any kind in his life.  Rae is not.  She is living on her own and she is obviously extremely well trained in the use of melee weapons.  You'd know this if you would bother watching the movie... instead of sitting there seething... thinking about all the pretty girls you're to chicken shit to talk to.


The whole “force” in Rey defies the entire premise of the Jedi and use of the force in the previous 6 movies. How come the only character to get the ability and skill to use the force without putting in the work and effort is a girl?  Rey’s abilities make a farce of the force.  Why unlike all the men who do battle does she manage to get through against trained martial experts without even a scratch?

Without a scratch?  The first time she tangles with Kylo she gets completely wrecked and ends up getting her ass captured.  The second time.. Kylo has taken a severe blaster shot to the gut.  Again... this kind of thing makes me thing you haven't actually.. HEY!   are you.. no.. stop picking you nose and listen...  I was saying... it makes me think you haven't seen the movie.  Because see the movie makes a huge point of just how powerful Chewie's blaster is compared to all the others.  People get shot with blasters and they fall down.  People get shot with Chewie's blaster... and they fly 10 feet backwards and smash into walls.  Kylo took a gut shot from Chewie's blaster.  And stood there.  Like a badass.   He didn't block it like Vader.  He took it.  It hit him.  He was bleeding.  He was busted up.  But it didn't take him down or take him out.  He then went on to get cut and injured several more times.. all the while leaking from that blaster shot from Chewie.  His body was falling apart on him and he was still fighting.  And he was even at the end, obviously holding back keeping from killing her.   That, and only that, is the reason the girl lived.


The only good point of the entire move is the example set by both Anakin and Kylo; self-centered whiny emo is a clear indicator of a boy who is easily corrupted and gravitates toward evil

Exactly when did Kylo whine?  No seriously be specific.   When did he whine?   When things didn't go his way, and it happened a lot in this movie, he never once made an excuse.  He never once complained.   We have a word for this sugar tits.  Its projection.  Either that or confirmation bias.  You went in expecting to see him whine and pout and so you dreampt it up in your own head.

The Farce Awakens gives girls what they want, superiority to men in all things without having to put in the effort men put in to be the best they can be. The Farce did awaken.

Yes it’s just another example of the maxim:  women ruin everything.  In this case Star Wars.

Say...  sweetcheeks...  how did the rebels get the shields down?   Why isn't you didn't mention that?  I mean are you just so stupid you didn't realize that Captain Phasma was a girl?  Or was it the fact that Phasma's giant cowardly mistake ended up destroying not only Starkiller Base... but also your idiotic premise? 

Women aren't special and powerful in the movie retard.   One girl is.  She is powerful because the Force itself is focusing on her and guiding her.  She learns a crude version of the mind trick while she is trying to fight off Kylo's mental force probes.  That was a well written scene.  He attacks her... she fights it off, because he underestimates her, and in doing so... she (with the aid of the Force) learns a trick.  She tries it on the guard and fails.   She tries it again and fails.  Only the third time does it work.  And remember... Storm Troopers are notoriously easy to manipulate with the jedi mind trick. 

What I conclude here is simple.   You're just another loser that's pissed off at women... and is desperately looking to shout Wrongfun! at anyone who dares enjoy themselves with something you don't approve of.

Well piss off Nancy.

I say to you precisely what I say to the idiots at File 770.

I don't care.

Navy Goes Glock

Hey...  Teams...   Turn in your SIGs boys.  The Navy has come out of the closet.

In addition announcing that they are switching to Glocks, the US Navy has also announced that all safety briefings on thai ladyboys and how to spot them will be stopped.  

It will be replaced with new seminars like "How to get blown buy a 15 year old boy with tits".

Smoke'em if you've got 'em boys.   Its all going to shit.

What's Wrong With The GOP

A lot of people seem to be finally grasping that there real structural problems within the Republican Party.

What they are missing... is this isn't new.

Now think hard... back to your civics or poly sci or maybe even history classes.   Do you remember a term they used to use; The Solid South?   It was political jargon that referred to the way the South was just one giant block vote for the Democrats.

Not republicans.

Democrats.

In the grand scheme of things... the Republican Party has not been the socially conservative party.  That would be the democrats.  That would be the South.  And that's why everything gets so uncomfortable when people like Ann Coulter start slamming the Democrat party for fighting against integration.   The people she's slamming  that were once democrats...  are now republicans.  So when she starts talking about how MLK was a republican... the older part of what is now the GOP base... knows she is criticizing them.

The Republican party has been a party of fiscal conservatism... at least when it suits them.  But in reality that's not the party's historical forte'.  That's just for headlines.   The GOP was founded on the principles of a very strong central government.  It was the anti-states-rights party.  The Democrats were the party of States Rights

In the 50s as the radical left gained more and more power in the democratic party... the base shifted.  Remember the Reagan Democrats?  People always ask what politician can go bring those people back to the GOP.   Umm... I have some bad news for ya guys.  Those Reagan Democrats... aren't Democrats anymore.

They are the GOP base now.  The South is still Solid.   Its just solid Republican now. 

So you have a giant disconnect between the power players in the GOP elite... and the base.

The base is made of the people who used to be the Democrat base in the 1950s.  

The GOP leadership hates those people.  I mean really hates those people.


So when you see Paul Boehner pull a compromise stunt like he pulled... remember... he didn't betray the base.  He didn't betray the party.

The Party is for European style elitist strong central government.  Big military.  Big Business.  Big Banks.  Fiscal responsibility if it means tax cuts for them or their friends.... and that's the only time.

That's the real GOP.

Stop being mad at them for being exactly what they have always been.

There is no conservative party in the US right now.  There is no nationalist party.


Its time to stop pretending the GOP is either.


Its time to create the American Nationalist Party.

God Loves Us

We have bourbon.   We have beer.    And soon....

We will have motorcycle-jetskis

God Is Good.   All The Time. 

NWA Was Right

In a just civilization those in charge of keeping the peace are held not to the same standards as everyone else... but to an even higher standard.

Because when they abuse their power the harm they do to the civilization is the kind of thing that undermines whole governments and leads in the extremes to things like civil wars.

We do not live in a just civilization.

Phonesavankh’s namesake son, known by the nickname Bou-Bou, was nearly burned to death in his sleep by a flash-bang grenade hurled into his crib during a 2:00 a.m. no-knock SWAT raid by the Habersham County Sheriff’s Office on their home in Cornelia in May 2014.
The search warrant used to justify that raid was filed by then-Deputy Nikki Austin, who claimed that a “true and reliable informant” had conducted a controlled buy of $50 worth of crystal meth at the home several hours earlier from a potentially dangerous repeat offender named Wanis Thonetheva. The affidavit characterized Thoneteheva as armed and potentially dangerous, and claimed that lookouts had been stationed at the home – elements that supposedly justified a militarized midnight raid on a home where children were known to reside.

This resulted in only one officer being charged with any crime.  And that officer has been acquitted.

To say that law enforcement in the US is out-of-control is the understatement equivalent of hyperbole.  Whatever that is.  Everyone involved with this raid should either be fired or jailed.  Everyone.  From the sheriff all the way down to janitor if necessary.

As long as things like this keep happening...  police will be putting themselves more and more at risk.  The public is not going to stand for this forever.  

Its time to end the War on Drugs people.

Its time to bring an end to the militarization of the police.

Its time to end No Knock Warrants forever.


Every where you look today you see different paths leading to the same place.  Violence.  


It is time for radical measures.   if we don't take radical measures... the violence will take them for us.

Good Riddance

Oh dear...   It appears Erik Erickson over at Red State is calling it quits.


Try not to shed a tear boys.  I know it will be hard.  However will we go one without a cowardly vagina like Erik out there attacking his own side?

Where will go for idiotic GOP establishment approved articles?

Hell with Red State.


Hell with Erik Erickson.


May he never write another professional word.

New Speaker: Paul Boenher

I hate to quote the Who... because I hate the Who..

But meet the new boss...  same as the old boss.

Ok this is not how I wanted to start off my day.   Not only am I quoting The Who... I'm linking to Slate.   I feel dirty.  Never the less the article in question is not inaccurate completely.  The premise is sound.

If Boenher had done what Paul Ryan just did... the GOP would be out to hang him.

unlike Slate... I suspect the GOP base is already out to hang Ryan.   This is why the establishment GOP guys are all in the shitter in the polls people.  This is why Trump is winning.  The base hates the GOP establishment and the establishment hates its own base.

This cannot last.

The GOP will leadership will either be purged and replaced with people in-line with the base... or the base will leave, and form a new party, and the GOP will simply disappear.

And as an unreconstructed confederate... let me say... good riddance.

Liberals Always Lie.

Yes Virginia... they really do want to take your guns.

No matter how many times you hear some idiot liar liberal claim otherwise... liberals very much DO want to see firearms confiscated.  96% percent of all liberals are in fact known to think about gun confiscation while masturbating in their lilac scented bubble baths.


As always... they are to damned short sighted and ignorant to actually consider what would happen if they attempted such a thing.

There are over 200 million firearms in civilian hands and over 12 trillion rounds of ammunition.   What these morons are advocating will literally set off a huge scale civil war.  Pitting police and federal agents against gun owners defending their rights. 

The streets will run red with blood.  This is what the murderous and foolish left is asking for.


We respond as always.


Come for them.   We come for you.

45 Raptor: Big Bore AR-10

Ya know... the AR10 guys have to sit and watch all their friends with AR15s chatter about their big bore options.  such and such SOCOM...  so and so Beowulf...   always feeling left out. 

Well fret no more kids.

I give you the 45 Raptor



There ya go guys.  and its just a barrel swap.  You can even use you're same AR10 mags as I understand it.  

But what about the performance?

How about a 200 grain bullet at 2800 fps?   I think that should get your attention.

I like this thing because its versatile.  You can load up 180 grain bullets and shoot all day with little or no recoil.  the 200 grain bullets would be ideal for medium game like deer or hogs... and the big 300 grain bullets would make this a fantastic North American dangerous game rifle.

What do ya think boys?

To late to amend that letter to Santa?

Armed Christians. AKA: EFFF You ISIS

So hat tip to our buddy Luke who pointed this out to me.



Read the back story over at the link.  Basically that letter is a pejorative for Christians amongst the goat buggering rag heads.

Own it.

Own it indeed.

You can buy them there for 10 bucks. 

Hang Him High

So.... after all this time... it appears the traitor is finally going to get his court martial. 

I'll be honest I never actually believed Bergdahl would be prosecuted.  I also note that we're supposed to be deeply concerned that he could get life in prison.

Life my ass.

Hang him.

It is long past time the US military started acting like a military.  Well here's a grand opportunity.

Between 1942 and 1961 the US military executed 160 criminals.  157 were US army soldiers... and 3...  were executed by the Air Force?   Figure that.

The last military execution was in 1961.  Private John Bennett was hanged at Leavenworth after he was convicted of rape of attempted murder.  He was black.  He raped an 11 year old white austrian girl.

Today liberals cry racism over it.

Well by all means... let us appease them.... by hanging Bergdahl by the neck until he is dead.  dead.  dead.

Christmas Traditions

Happy Sunday y'all.  Hope y'all are enjoyin' the Advent Season...   Lord knows we are.

I wanted to take a bit to share a favorite tradition of mine that started way back in 2004 when we were still up in Hell... i mean...  West Virginia.

Hot Buttered Rum.

First of all...  if that name doesn't perk you up I don't know what will.  Over the years, every Christmas season I have made this and served it at at least one party.  Often more.  Now its even more fun because down here in LA no one really knows about it at all.  The recipe has remained largely unchanged... and if you want to try it... I this what I recommend:

3 sticks cinnamon
6 whole cloves
2 hard packed cups Brown Sugar
1 pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 quarts hot water
1/2 cup butter (1 stick) (real butter dammit)
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream


Put all that in your crock pot on low for about 5 hours.  You can put it on high for the first hour and then back it down to low for 1 more hour if you're in a hurry.

Once its done at 2 cups of your favorited spiced rum. 

To serve... fill a coffee cup about half full... spray some whip cream on top.. and sprinkle some nutmeg on top of that.

It is amazing.  Seriously.  It is really good.   And... I'm sure you can imagine... it smells up the whole house all day.

And how about Merry Christmas from The Family by our boy REK?

Help us out.

Gun Safety

Its been a long time since I posted on gun safety... so I think its about time we have a refresher.  And as usual... this is actually inspired by a tragedy.  I'm not going into a great deal of details here... I'm just gonna say someone I know was cleaning a handgun and shot himself.  

When I first heard about it, I'm not going to lie, my mind went straight to Glock.   For one thing it is always a handgun in this situation.  Its really hard to shoot yourself with a rifle.  You can do it.  but its not nearly as easy as with a handgun.  Second... cleaning means disassembling and to do that on a Glock you actually have to pull the trigger.  That just seems wrong to me.  No... not wrong...  stupid.  So stupid as to be borderline insane.   Yet there it is.

Turns out it wasn't a Glock.  It was a cheap Raven 25 caliber pocket pistol.  These pistols are known to have a problem where they accidently discharge when you release the safety.  At this point its unclear if the weapon actually did malfunction... but I am deeply skeptical of these junk handguns (George Jennings is a useless piece of trash) and I am assuming that's what happened until proven otherwise.

That said... as always these things are preventable.  The rules exist not just to keep you from shooting yourself... but to keep you from getting hurt in the case of weapon failure as well.  So... one more time...

1) Treat all firearms as if they are loaded.      all of them.  The only time you should consider a firearm unloaded is you see the slide/bolt locked back.   If you can look as see the chamber is empty... only then is the weapon unloaded.  Dropping the magazine does not unload a firearm.  Always remember that.  Dropping the mag still leaves the round in the chamber... and that's the round that is going to kill you... or someone else.  Always check safe.  Always lock the slide back.  Always remember to drop the mag AND rack the slide just in case.

2) Never point the muzzle at anything you don't want to destroy.  When we are familiar with a firearm it often starts to feel like part of our hand. It isn't. Its a deadly weapon meant for killing people and breaking things. Respect it. Always make sure it is pointed in a safe direction when you are handling it.

3) Never put your finger on the trigger until you have your sights on your target.  We call this trigger discipline. I cannot tell you how many people have a habit of keeping their finger on the trigger at all times when handling a firearm. Go to any gun show and you will see some dumbass carrying around an AR with his finger on the trigger. If you know someone like this... you should slap them every time you see them do it. The term "Glock leg" exists to describe all the men limping around out there from shooting themselves while they were trying to draw their Glocks with their fingers on the trigger. Don't do it.

There are more rules.. but those three rules right there will prevent every bad outcome.  If there is a bad outcome...  someone didn't follow one of those three rules.

Today... if I was going to mention another one... it would be this...

Don't ever buy a cheap handgun designed by George Jennings.

Bloggerblaster Sold Out

Ok... yes... over there on the side bar is now an amazon link.

Yep.

I sold out.   I've gone commercial.   Its all going to shit.  Next thing you know I'm gonna stop... using... ellipses... and learn to type.  Dogs and Cats!  Living Together!  Mass Hysteria!

No... no...  Its really not a big deal.  There's an amazon link over there.  That's all it is.  If you happen to use it... we, and by we, I mean me, make a tiny amount of money.   My hope is, some of you will simply bookmark it and use it when you by or search amazon stuff.  If you do... I'll make enough to help our boy Six stop drinking that Jim Beam White Label or what ever he's choking down. 

So there ya go.  If you buy a lot of stuff off Amazon... help me out.

No. I don't need the money.  But that's what's good about it.  Since I don't need it... you can trust me to use it for something awesome.  like ammo.  or beer.   or buying Six a bottle knob creek.

hell it may even help pay for the ATF Show...

and yes...

The ATF show is coming back just like the blog has.

Ol Miss Can't Say Christmas

What in the blue hell is going on here.

I knew Ol Miss was going to shit when they banned Dixie and the Reb... but holy crap man.  Now they have to change the name of their tree lighting event... because christian?

Hey dumbass... its not a holiday tree.  and even if it IS a holiday tree... what holiday is it?

No such thing as a Hanukah tree sugartits.

Maybe its a kwanza  tree...

Well.... Shit....

Ok...  this whole WWIII thing is getting a little out of hand.

Nukes?

We're talking about nukes?  And just in case you're doubting my assertion that the US and Russia are actually fighting a proxy war in Syria (ok well until Russia dropped the proxy bit and sent troops in)..  take a good look at the equipment ISIS is showing off.

Those are US tanks boys.  And ya think ISIS salvaged them?  really?  Then who trained the barbarians to use them?


This is probably a very good time to be thinking about going some place like Costa Rica.

No one is gonna nuke Costa Rica.

Hillary Clinton's War

How many times a day do you hear or read someone say that the war in syria doesn't make any sense?   Seems like all the time people are telling me its just chaos over there and they can't make heads or tails of what's going.

Given that... I thought I'd take a minute and explain it.

Tiny Qatar is possibly the world largest supplier of natural gas.  Something like 14% of the world's known supply of natural gas is Qatar's.  In the late 2000s Qatar began negotiations to build a natural gas pipeline that would go through Saudi Arabia and Syria to Turkey to compete with the Russia, who supplies virtually all of the EU's natural gas.

This fact alone should start bells ringing.

Turkey has already built the infrastructure on its end.  There the pipeline is done and ready to go.  In fact, the only thing standing in the way of this new pipeline... is Syria.

Syria has blocked the pipeline and will not let it pass through.  Assad announced he would block the pipeline in 2012.   So let's think back...   what was going on in 2012 and 2013?   When did the US start jabbering about the evils of the Assad regime?   Where and when was ISIS formed?

Friends...   We created ISIS.  And when I say we... I mean Hillary Clinton.

When thinking about foreign policy you always have to keep in mind that Hillary Clinton's hero is Charlie Wilson.  In Syria... she saw her chance to play the role herself.  She convinced the Obama adminstration to foment rebellion in Syria... and with no small amount of help from the middle east (Qatari money goes a long long way) they formed, funded, trained, and equipped the group that became ISIS.

They created them specifically to over throw the Assad regime.. and get the pipeline built.

So... why does Turkey support ISIS and shoot down Russian jets?   Its not about Islam folks.  Its about the pipeline.

Oh to be sure, for ISIS its about religion.  But its only about religion for them.  Everyone else involved... Turkey, Qatar, the US, Russia... everyone else... is there fighting over the pipeline.

If you doubt this... I simply suggest you test it.   Whenever you read or see someone doing something there... see if it lines up with the pipeline positioning.  You will see the US fighting on ISIS' side against Assad.  You will see Turkey fighting on ISIS' side against Russia.  You will see Russia attacking ISIS and defending Assad.

Because Assad has Russia's back.  And Putin isn't giving up his monopoly on the EU natural gas supply.

But that doesn't make Russia the bad guys.   Remember.. Hillary Clinton is the one that was dumb enough to create ISIS.

Maybe someday Tom Hanks can play Hillary in the movie.  

Nah... he's to feminine.

a new begining

Its become abundantly clear that Vox's blog just ain't what it used to be.  Its not really his fault.  The guy has gotten so big... his comment section has been inundated with idiots on par with the average youtube commenter. 

That leaves us with a problem.

Where are the OG Dread Ilk to go to hang out and enjoy the same culture and commraderie we've grown accustomed to?

Welcome home boys. 

I will officially commit to blogging at least twice a day.  That should provide you with plenty of stuff to talk about and plenty of reason to keep the comments jumping.  If I can't keep that pathetic pace up... I'll open the blog up to other Ilk to keep the content coming.  Yes.  You read that right.  I will turn over the keys to the Bloggerblaster if need be.

now... none of this is to say I am upset or angry with Vox... or unhappy with his blog or blogging.  I love the guy.  I love his blog.  But the fact is the comments there just aren't worth the pain in the ass of the storm fronters and alt-right retards.

So... here we are.

Round them up.   You wanted to a place to hangout?  Here ya go.
