Sunday Music: Bad Case Of Loving You

 

Kicking off music for the Month of Love, Robert Palmer's rocking 1979 trilogy prequel to '80s mega-hits Addicted To Love and Simply Irresistable. Dead way too young, we still miss this guy, but at least his music lives on.

Humble Thanks

While we were fiddling around with sound files for Sunday Music, the blogometer seems to have rolled over another notch. To the random visitor hereabouts around 7AM EST, and 999,999 of your fellows since the last such, we offer our sincere appreciation for your dropping by, and our thanks for the early Valentine's Day present.

JUSTICE!!! Califrutopia Ammo Ban and Background Checks Unconstitutional And Unenforceable!

 

Rhode v. Bonta ruling

1) All CA ammo restrictions, requirement for background checks before purchase, and importation restrictions, along with penalties for same, are hereby declared utterly unconstitutional, and permanently injuncted from further enforcement.

2) The permanent injunction on the merits of the complaint is not stayed pending appeal.

3) The request to Judge Benitez for such an injunction of the decision was categorically denied, as any case being "unlikely to prevail on the merits".

Fuck Sacramento, and their hatred for the 2nd Amendment, sideways, with a rusty chainsaw. 

Worst case, CA will enjoy another "Freedom Week" until CA appeals to the 9th Circus. But until that's handed down, the injunction took effect immediately upon the issuance of this ruling, and even getting an appeal filed is going to take CA time.

That giant sucking sound is another one of CA's unconstitutional gun laws going down the drain, and ammunition flying to the Golden State at the speed of UPS trucks.

ATTENTION, In-State and Out-Of-State Ammunition Dealers: consider carefully whether you want to open the floodgates, as you should, or instead continue to fuck over CA buyers by a policy of enforcing an unconstitutional restriction decided to be such by a federal court ruling, and thoughtfully remembering all possible interpretations of "Dead To Us, Forever" and the magic shibboleth "Zumbo'ed". Don't fuck us, and we won't fuck you.

Huzzah! Dulce et decorum est.

All hail St. Benitez:

This guy is our favorite method of Rogering gun controllers.

FedGov, Abbott, 25 Governors, And Every Media Outlet Are Full Of Sh*t

Don't take my word for it, based on years of firsthand eyes-on at the border.

Check out the video on X, shot on-location in Texas, showing you that this entire manufactured kerfluffle is just one giant bullshit scam, by both sides of the Uniparty:

Video Link

Multiple gates, 2 minutes' walk from Shelby Park, wide open, unmanned, unmonitored.

How much harder do peoples' noses need to be rubbed in this before the penny drops, and the lesson is learned?!?

Once you can see the hook, FFS, stop taking the bait.

There isn't going to be any "showdown" at the border, and Bozo Abbott knew that before he lifted a finger. He doesn't have to fold, and those other GOPe governors jumping out of the clown car have no worries either, because they're not doing anything to change things. They're only pretending to "do something". This is a PR flak's wet effing dream: all payoff, and no consequences. Pretending to do something is also the only thing government pulls off consistently.

Illegal immigration continues unabated, 24/7/365 from San Ysidro to Brownsville, and they're coming by the trainload every day. 

UPDATE via video on 2/1:

This is nothing but kabuki security theater, by the same people who gave you the unconstitutional Patriot Act and the @$$clowns of TSA instead of actual airline security, and killing actual terrorists.

Twenty-two years to get this lesson down, and people are still fucking it up by the numbers.

Give a holler when Abbott seals the entire TX border (Also Known As When Hell Freezes Over). Until that happens, this entire made-up fake-news hairball is all piles of bullshit, sprinkled with hopeium and fairy dust.

Change my mind.

This, x 2000 Miles...

Dept. Of We Told You So

This pic, times 2000 miles of southern border, plus every single official U.S. Port Of Entry, all of which has innumerable illegal alien dickheads streaming through unchecked, unvetted, and unhindered, 24/7/365, all with Gov. Abbott, the TX DPS, 25 GOP governors, or fuck-all ANYBODY doing Jack or Shit to stop it.

While everyone salivates over the kabuki standoff at Eagle Pass bridge/Shelby Park.

Big fucking whoop-dee-doo.

Just. Like. We. Told. You.: You're being flim-flammed and bamboozled, with your eyes wide open.

UPDATE: Courtesy of Anonymous in Comments below, here's video from the pic above:

Like. We. Told. You.

This entire "border standoff" has been a Washington Generals™ production.

Sunday Music: Sweet Home Alabama

 

Lynyrd Skynyrd's signature rock anthem from 1974, peaking at #8, and an unmistakable middle finger aimed right at whiny bastard Neil Young (and deserving of the rock Hall Of Fame solely for that). Turn it up.

Emperor Stumblefuck Poopypants Ist Dithers...

Maybe the plan of His Imperial Impotence and his puppetmasters all along was to withdraw from Texas like he did from Afghanistan, removing Texas' electoral votes from the 2024 election equation, and cementing his re-election victory.

Show Notes

You're playing this:

How nice. But you should be playing THIS:

Kindly quit screwing around, and get back on the same page as the rest of the orchestra.

Pay Attention, Please

Emperor Poopypants may be just the senile @$$clown to kick off a shooting civil war. 

We live in hope.

His moronic incompetence has been his defining personal characteristic, even before he lost what was left of his tiny mind. Then again, he could just waffle until a suitable "Look, squirrel!" moment, and slink away from direct confrontation over one small and insignificant stretch along a 2000-mile border as porous as chicken wire.

The bigger issue in the Texas kerfluffle is that Poopypants and FedGov can waffle on the piddling park concertina slapfight, because at the end of the day, it just forces illegals to walk through the official border crossing gates, which are already welded open, and where federal minions welcome all comers with no background check and open parole.

If Abbott and Texas' next move isn't to throw razor wire up around the official border checkpoints and the CBP holding pens everywhere in Texas as well, and keep it there 24/7/forever, they still manage to pull defeat out of the jaws of victory on this.

Letting the feckless Feds march de facto amnestied illegals right into America anyways gives TPTB their Little Rock schoolhouse moment, and they'll dunk on it, rub everyone's noses in it, and dance on Abbott's lap afterwards, laughing their asses off the whole time, and rightfully so.

Somebody in the [R] Powers-That-Be better address that 800-pound gorilla in about a minute, or the current thing is all just a fart in a hurricane.

If the GOPe plan is just to have everyone watch the hand the magician is waving, we all get fooled again.

Big Smile! Big Smile!

Stolen Elections Have Consequences

 h/t (and lifted wholesale from) WRSA

That would be 52% of the states in the republic, if you're keeping score at home.

In today's echo of History That Was, Emperor Poopypants has elected to play the part of the Redcoat commander, marching on Lexington and Concord. We await his arrival at Concord Bridge with no small amount of glee.

Twenty-five Republican governors (so far) have issued a joint statement calling out Emperor Poopypants' dereliction of duty and refusal to uphold the Constitution, by allowing the unmitigated invasion of the United States through Mexico, and supporting Texas' position on self-defense unequivocally.

"Word to your mother, Joe: If you fuck with one of us, you fuck with ALL of us."

No word on how hard Vermont Gov. Phil Scott's arm is being twisted to make this unanimous among the 27 (R) governors, but if you're in the neighborhood, you might hear shoulder bones cracking.

At least 17 of those states have sent material support and/or their own NG personnel to assist Texas in staunching the flow of illegals into America. This has now snowballed beyond the point where TX Gov. Abbott can easily self-sabotage it, even if he's the squish-spined WEF pawn many have claimed, and events are taking on a life of their own.

The bleeding due to Biden's cleats through his dick continues unstaunched, and it remains to be seen whether he thinks it best to run up the white flag, or try to go all Tiananmen Square on Texas.

And just to pile on, Texas' Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick threw down the gauntlet to FedGov, essentially telling the entire federal lash-up, "If you feel froggy, jump!"

This leaves the illegitimate regime with only two choices regarding their ongoing turpitude: turn tail and run like hell away from this, or open the ball on a civil war. We eagerly await their decision there. It's what we call a "heads we win, tails you lose" kind of deal.

And if anyone on Team Illegal Invasion, particularly FedGov, thinks they somehow have the other twenty-four states on their side at this point, they've got another thing coming.

The last time something like this happened was early in 1861.

Stock up on canned goods, and go deep on popcorn and beverages. There may be a whole lot of job openings in the federal job market soon.

Captain Nemo, eat your heart out. 

Hmmm. A private luxury submarine, capable of 4-week journeys. Selling for "only" AUS$3B (So $1.98B U.S.).

Figuring a nominal speed of "greater than 40 knots". No worries about sea sickness. Laughs at storms. Winter at the polar ice cap; summer at the Great Barrier Reef; Tahiti, the Caribbean, Mallorca, and the French Riviera in season. Fresh lobster and crab nightly. Parties and dancing on the stern casing topside on calm nights.

1) Hell of a way to avoid paparazzi.

2) Coolest bug out ride ever for the apocalypse.

3) And of course, no one would ever use this to smuggle drugs, terrorists, arms, or people past the coast guards of 150 nations. Nosiree. Never happen. {OTOH, drop off a few dope loads "as a favor", and the loan note is paid off.} And of course, no one would get one of these and turn pirate. That'd be cheating. (Bonus points if you get Johnny Depp or Geoffrey Rush to dress up and play pretend captain. "...and really bad eggs...")

4) First sighting in the wild, even as CGI: Bond villain. Guaran-damn-teed.

Mongo like. But it still isn't going to be under my Christmas tree.

Maybe if I get 39 friends together, and we go shares. So then only about US$49.5M each.

If anyone gets one to review, give a holler.
