Richard Spencer is a true, dyed-in-the-wool white nationalist anti-Semite.

Absolutely nothing about that background would make him support brown, Middle Eastern Muslims.

Except… Iran hates Israel and the Jews, referring to Israel as “the little Satan,” and Spencer hates Israel and the Jews.

As a result, a white nationalist anti-Semite is going to deepthroat the Ayatollah and pull a Michael Moore and apologize on behalf of Trump.

To the people of Iran,

There are millions of Americans who do not want war, who do not hate you, and who respect your nation and its history.

After our traitorous elite is brought to justice, we hope to achieve peace, reconciliation, and forgiveness.

This is nothing new of course, Hitler bonded with the Grand Mufti for the same reason.  Hitler wanted to exterminate Europe’s Jews and the Mufti want to exterminate the Mandate’s Jews.

Anti-Semitism is like TDS, it drives people to absolute madness.  In this case, making a white nationalist support a Brown Muslim nation over the US.

A headline that even for CNN, I was not expecting to read.

When somebody punches you in the gut, you don’t get up and and throw a roundhouse that misses on purpose. If that happens is because you suck. So Iran did not show some sort of higher moral by launching missiles and not hitting US personnel, it simply means their Surface to Surface capabilities are as accurate as bottle rockets.

But CNN had to kiss Iran’s ass hard because TDS is rampant at its upper levels.

I know a little more about gay culture than I should.  My cousin was gay, and let’s just say, I have seen some of the uglier parts of the underbelly of the Miami Beach gay lifestyle.

There is a phrase in Gay Slang, “Rough Trade.”  It is a reference to risky homosexual sex with anonymous partners, often in public places.

Back in the day, gay sex was illegal.  Gay men, often who had wives and families, were unable to have gay relationships and so casual gay sex was the only option.  Since two men couldn’t get a hotel room together (which would look suspicious) this led to the rise of bathhouses, private clubs, and other venues in more progressive cities as locations for gay hookups.  In other places, however, bathhouses and clubs were not possible and gay sex was had secretly in public places.

This was risky.  A gay man might have no idea if the person he was hooking up with was safe or not, or of the location was safe or not.

This is where things get ugly.

While gay sex is no longer a crime and has become, for the most part, socially acceptable, there is a branch of the gay community that still fetishizes risky anonymous sex.  Some even think of it as quintessential to authentic “gay culture.”  There are some well known public restrooms in parts of Miami Beach that you do not want to go into after dark if you don’t want to be sodomized.

The app Grindr has exacerbated this.  It’s made it even easier for gay men to have anonymous casual sex-based entirely on a superficial knowledge of the other participant.

(To be fair to the gay community, hookup apps have done that to the straight community too.)

When having an anonymous hookup (which is always a bad idea, that is a blanket statement that applies to everyone) not knowing anything about the other person can put you at risk for many terrible things.

Terrible things like being murdered and having your testicles eaten.

Hairstylist named Kevin Bacon killed, eaten by Grindr date from hell: cops

A Michigan man named Kevin Bacon was mutilated and killed by a man he met on the LGBTQ dating app Grindr, reports said.

Bacon, a 25-year-old hairstylist, met up with suspected killer Mark Latunski on Christmas Eve after they spoke on the app, according to Michigan Live.

Investigators found his car at a Dollar General parking lot and later tracked his last known location to Latunski’s house in Shiawassee County, according to the reports.

Inside the house, police found Bacon’s body hanging from the rafters with rope tied around his ankles, a local NBC affiliate reported.

Latunski told cops he killed Bacon by stabbing him in the back and slitting his throat, according to the report.

He also told cops he cut off Bacon’s testicles and ate them during the murder, WILX reported.

If you want to fuck a random stranger you met on an app, that is your business.  But even as you drop your pants, do not drop your situational awareness.

This is a universality.  It applies to everyone.

But I suspect that women are perhaps a little more inclined to listen to their gut feeling and bail while from my peripheral experience with a subset of gay culture, there are men who find that gut feeling of danger to be enticing.

Remember, you are your own last line of defense, and you don’t want to get your rocks cut off while trying to get your rocks off.

It was mom who got me to listen to Elvis when I was all into Prog Rock. And indeed he was the King.

One of my favorites.

A friend of mine tipped me off to this:

Breaking: Virginia vows to shut down all gun ranges not owned by the state

Virginia just went full blown communist.

If it wasn’t bad enough watching the action unfold surrounding unconstitutional gun laws and the militias being formed to fight against them, now it seems like Virginia is trying to pull yet another move.

They want to shut down every gun range in the state that isn’t owned by the government.

According to House Bill 567, any indoor shooting range would be prohibited by law – UNLESS it was inside of a building owned by the state.

And any business owners who decided to defy the law could be facing up to a $100,000 fine and potential civil penalties.

It’s actually worse than that.  Text of the bill:

§ 18.2-511.2. Indoor shooting ranges; prohibited in private buildings; exceptions; penalty.

A. As used in this section, “indoor shooting range” means any fully enclosed or indoor area or facility designed for the use of rifles, shotguns, pistols, silhouettes, skeet, trap, or black powder or any other similar sport shooting.

B. It is unlawful to operate an indoor shooting range in any building not owned or leased by the Commonwealth or the federal government unless (i) fewer than 50 employees work in the building or (ii) (a) at least 90 percent of the users of the indoor shooting range are law-enforcement officers, as defined in § 9.1-101, or federal law-enforcement officers, (b) the indoor shooting range maintains a log of each user’s name, phone number, address, and the law-enforcement agency where such user is employed, and (c) the indoor shooting range verifies each user’s identity and address by requiring all users to present a government-issued photo-identification card.

C. Any person that violates the provisions of this section is subject to a civil penalty of not less than $1,000 nor more than $100,000 for the initial violation and $5,000 per day for each day of violation thereafter.

This bill exists to eliminate all indoor shooting ranges with civilian access.

Indoor ranges are growing in importance for the shooting community.  Outdoor ranges are being shut down all over the country using noise restrictions, environmental restrictions, and due to the growth of cities and suburbs are being zoned or sued out of existence by residents.

If you live in a city, access to an outdoor range might be quite a drive out into the county for you.  It was for me in Chicago.  The few outdoor ranges around were way out on the edges of the suburbs, down in Plainfield, and they were mostly private clubs with expensive membership fees and long waiting lists.  The only public access ranges were indoors.

Even in Huntsville, the only two outdoor ranges I know of are a good 45 minutes away, but there are three nice indoor ranges nearby.

A law that banned private, civilian, indoor ranges would eliminate range access for most Virginians who live in metropolitan areas.

All the Governor would have to do is then eliminate outdoor ranges using noise and environmental regulations and it would be illegal to target shoot in the Commonwealth, except maybe for some parcels of private land in rural counties.

Recreational shooting for most Virginians would be banned.

Forget gun bans, this would be the most severe attack possible on gun rights in Virginia.  Even if you owned only the guns you were allowed to, you can’t use them or train with them.  You couldn’t take your kids to the range and teach them the joys of shooting.

Without shooting the gun culture dies, they know it, and this is what they are trying to do.

Tucker Carlson has spent the last two nights giving his opinion that Iran is the victim and the US is the belligerent party and both Democrats and Republicans want to send Americans off to die so they can get campaign contributions from the military-industrial complex.*  He has had other guests who have reiterated that same talking point.

*By the way, I liken this to the blood libel.  As someone who works in the MIC – which hires a lot of veterans – we don’t think of our military as disposable cannon fodder just so we can get a supply contract to the DOD.  Absolutely no one at Sikorsky or Boeing cheers when a Blackhawk or Chinook gets shot down saying “that’s another sale for us.”  To even imply that is disgusting.

The Republican “challenger” to Trump, Joe Walsh, told Lindsey Graham about Iran, “Unless you want to put on a uniform and go fight, shut up Lindsey.”

In fact, I’ve seen a lot of people who are not typical Leftists going nuts over this.

Let me say, that I absolutely do not want to put American boots on the ground in Iran.  I do not want to give the Iranians the Jihadist pleasure of trying to kill Americans.

But I am also reminded of a poem by one of the greatest authors in the English Language, Rudyard Kipling.

It is always a temptation to an armed and agile nation
To call upon a neighbour and to say: —
“We invaded you last night–we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away.”

And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain
That you’ve only to pay ’em the Dane-geld
And then you’ll get rid of the Dane!

It is always a temptation for a rich and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say: —
“Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you.
We will therefore pay you cash to go away.”

And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we’ve proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.

It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray;
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say: —

“We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that pays it is lost!”

Obama paid Iran the Dane geld, $1.7 Billion in cash to be specific.

Guess what, we didn’t get rid of the Dane, or the Iranians to be specific.

Trump is having to reverse the course of Obama leading us into oppression and shame.

Why are there so many who claim to be Conservatives who want to pay the Dane geld to Iran?

With Tucker, after all of his castigation of Washington for not addressing the huge number of American casualties from overdoses from the illicit drug trade, why is he so content to ignore Iran’s support of Hezbollah’s trafficking drugs into the US?

I cannot accept ignoring or appeasing evil that attacks us and has consistently been a thorn in our side since 1979, as the moral position.

Do not put one of these up in your facility at work:

ISO auditors do not have a sense of humor.

If you don’t get it, here is an explanation.
