Fire On The Mountain

 

Let's hear it for MTB and all you horsemen out there, not least Bud Munroe, Ronnie Storrs, Oswald Clarke, June Jordan, Phyllis Lewis and on. RIP. Speaking of which, I recall meeting Clarke for lunch at the Cav & Guards Club in London, back in the far off, misty days of the '90s.

We walked up the illustrious stairwell of the Club, overwatched by paintings of famous charges and I remarked, foolishly, "That must have been quite a thing." Clarke replied, "Of course, but not much use against tanks. We trained to do just that on the Downs in the '30s." And so he had.

After Beef Wellington at the bar, delicious, we retired to a quiet part of the Club because "they do bellow so." What a gentleman of the old school. He was, I understand, both surprised and pleased that I became a horseman in subsequent years and was, to his dying day, a stalwart defender of the Catholic Faith as received by Anglicanism. Rest in peace.

Riding now? There's been an hiatus since an incident with a mad Arab, but plans are afoot to visit the Clubs of the old Raj and put heel to stirrup.

Don't Fall Off,

PS. Apologies to WSF who's forgotten more about horsemanship than I will ever know.

Time To Audit Time To Jail

 

Is this true?

Chelsea Clinton receives an annually-recurring funding from USAID, allocated by Obama for her Foundation, which provides afternoon meals to children in Africa, India, and Bangladesh.

However, as of today, the reported number of meals served stands at 11,886, implying an astonishing cost of $1,410 per meal.

Net Worth $70 Million

Husband Net Worth $45 Million

Inheritance $52 million

USAID Earnings $3.9 Million per year

Real Estate Assets $25 million

Monthly Spends $100,000

Car Collection Eight

And of course there's absolutely nothing Deep State corrupt about the Clinton Foundation, at all. In  related news, those lovable pranksters at DOGE discovered the Treasury's sent out 4.7 TN$ in untraceable payments to, errrr, someone. 4.7 TRILLION to persons and parties unknown. That's equivalent to an entire year of US tax revenue, and we haven't even gotten to the Pentagon.

We have to ask; if  rampant, egregious, underhanded, systemic, fraud, corruption and grift were cut out root and branch, would we be running a grievous, country-destroying national debt? Serious question, punters. 

Let's see our money back,

God Save The Tzar

 

Maybe you scorn antichrist. That in mind, God save the Tzar and the holy martyrs of the Russian Royal Family who fell to demonic red rage.

Pay attention and salute:  

Woe to you, Red Devils, the Romanovs will follow you like Furies. Your witchcraft will fall in on itself.

Боже, Царя храни!

Presidents Day Steak

Can you afford steak, fellow serfs? Hardly, but if you're clever enough you can find it on deal at Brookshires, which is a kind of supermarket in North Central Texas. I bought a 4 pack of strips for 20 bucks, not bad, and here's one way to cook 'em.

Yes, Heavy Metal style. First, pat the room temp steaks dry, apply salt and pepper to both sides, add olive oil to your cast iron skillet, then heat that beast up until it's smoking hot. Apply steaks to skillet, observe them sizzling for two minutes like a forward observer and then flip, adding a generous cut of butter to the seared side. 

Then let those bad boys do their thing for another two minutes, that's it, two minutes max. Then remove from heat. Let 'em rest, tented with foil, for 5 or so minutes, and fall upon your scoff.

America Meets Europe

So, Rainbow Garden Fortress Europa's sidelined, excluded from UKR peace talks. Here's a video, check it out:

Starmer Goes Ost Front

 

What? This nutgoon doesn't even have an actual army. Like WTAF. Perhaps the mighty UK will defeat Putin with its Hi-Viz vests. FFS, try not to throw up as you laugh in your mouths.

BUSTED

 

There they were, sitting on an unelected deep state slush fund, their causes paid for by you, the US taxpayer. How do you feel about your hard earned cash going to fund the rainbow? I don't like it, though you might. Look, here's a parable in film:

The Armed Forces Of Europe

 

The ambisexual, cocaine raddled, US rainbow proxy Vladimir Cocainsky's just advocated for a European Army to replace NATO. Why would the Powder Fuhrer say such a thing? Because obviously high and because its sugar daddy, you the US taxpayer, have had enough of fueling his addiction. No moar billions for you, Cocainsky.

Euro Rainbow Elites are howling, raging, seething. How dare the US not defend their plucky little laundry wash casino. Well it's an easy equation, Russia vastly outperforms the Rainbow West when it comes to, errrr, manufacturing. They still have factories that make things like ammo and tanks, unlike the EU. So without the US, where's this EU Trans Army gonna come from?

Good question. The UK doesn't have an Army anymore, maybe 50k combat troops max, the Germans are just as useless and the French? Well, it's hardly Old Guard. Who knows, maybe the indefatigable Poles will step up to the plate and conquer Lvov. Oops, not narrative.

So where's Euro grandstanding left after JDV's scolding? In no good place. One pal from the UK reckoned they might pitch to Chyna. Good luck with that.

In the meanwhile, Europoors aren't invited to the peace summit in Saudi because they don't matter. No troops, no industry, no ammo, no relevance, you see.

Moar Storm

 

Well here we are. A storm, yes another one, is blowing in over North Central Texas, as it is over the country as a whole, and about time too. Billions of dollars in fraud, waste, mismanagement and corruption exposed every day. And all, dear friends, billed to you, the taxpayer. For example:

- $10M for "Mozambique voluntary medical male circumcision"

- $9.7M for UC Berkeley to develop "a cohort of Cambodian youth with enterprise driven skills"

- $2.3M for "strengthening independent voices in Cambodia"

- $32M to the Prague Civil Society Centre

- $40M for "gender equality and women empowerment hub"

- $14M for "improving public procurement" in Serbia

- $486M to the “Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening,” including $22M for "inclusive and participatory political process" in Moldova and $21M for voter turnout in India

- $29M to "strenghening political landscape in Bangladesh"

- $20M for "fiscal federalism" in Nepal

- $19M for "biodiversity conversation" in Nepal

- $1.5M for "voter confidence" in Liberia

- $14M for "social cohesion" in Mali

- $2.5M for "inclusive democracies in Southern Africa"

- $47M for "improving learning outcomes in Asia"

- $2M to develop "sustainable recycling models" to "increase socio-economic cohesion among marginalized communities of Kosovo Roma, Ashkali, and Egypt"

Like, what? Long story really short, the US taxpayer was funding global leftism and its purveyors to the tune of billions and making a lotta people inside the Beltway rich. You'll note DC house prices have dramatically declined.

What an exercise of industrial fraud, chicanery and malfeasance levied on the American people. I don't know, I hope there's a reckoning. But I do know this, nothing like it's occurred in our history, whether it's the fraud or its uncovering.

Will the perpetrators be brought to justice? Who knows, but it seems DC searches for off-shore banks, RICO, and defense lawyers are going exponential. As they should. In the meanwhile, Euro Elites seethe and rage as JDV and 47 sideline them for peace in the Ukraine.

Hey, did you vote to give billions of dollars to Ukraine? No, neither did I.

What a moving message from the White House! As JDV said in Munich, there's a new Sheriff in town. About dam time. In the meanwhile, I hope your day was filled with love.

Vance On Fire

 

JD Vance was on fire today at the Munich Security Conference, delivering a withering attack on the EU and UK's ruling elite, chastising them for tyranny. The very same countries who won the Cold War have become, increasingly, facsimiles of the evil power they defeated. The threat to our common security, he said, is "from within." At length, via the Spectator:

... the threat that I worry the most about vis-a-vis Europe is not Russia, it’s not China, it’s not any other external actor. What I worry about is the threat from within. The retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values: values shared with the United States of America.

I was struck that a former European commissioner went on television recently and sounded delighted that the Romanian government had just annulled an entire election. He warned that if things don’t go to plan, the very same thing could happen in Germany too.

Now, these cavalier statements are shocking to American ears. For years we’ve been told that everything we fund and support is in the name of our shared democratic values. Everything from our Ukraine policy to digital censorship is billed as a defence of democracy. But when we see European courts cancelling elections and senior officials threatening to cancel others, we ought to ask whether we’re holding ourselves to an appropriately high standard. And I say ourselves, because I fundamentally believe that we are on the same team.

We must do more than talk about democratic values. We must live them. Now, within living memory of many of you in this room, the cold war positioned defenders of democracy against much more tyrannical forces on this continent. And consider the side in that fight that censored dissidents, that closed churches, that cancelled elections. Were they the good guys? Certainly not.

And thank God they lost the cold war. They lost because they neither valued nor respected all of the extraordinary blessings of liberty, the freedom to surprise, to make mistakes, invent, to build. As it turns out, you can’t mandate innovation or creativity, just as you can’t force people what to think, what to feel, or what to believe. And we believe those things are certainly connected. And unfortunately, when I look at Europe today, it’s sometimes not so clear what happened to some of the cold war’s winners.

If you’re running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing America can do for you

I look to Brussels, where EU Commission commissars warned citizens that they intend to shut down social media during times of civil unrest: the moment they spot what they’ve judged to be ‘hateful content’. Or to this very country where police have carried out raids against citizens suspected of posting anti-feminist comments online as part of ‘combating misogyny’ on the internet.

I look to Sweden, where two weeks ago, the government convicted a Christian activist for participating in Quran burnings that resulted in his friend’s murder. And as the judge in his case chillingly noted, Sweden’s laws to supposedly protect free expression do not, in fact, grant – and I’m quoting – a ‘free pass’ to do or say anything without risking offending the group that holds that belief.

And perhaps most concerningly, I look to our very dear friends, the United Kingdom, where the backslide away from conscience rights has placed the basic liberties of religious Britons in particular in the crosshairs. A little over two years ago, the British government charged Adam Smith Conner, a 51-year-old physiotherapist and an Army veteran, with the heinous crime of standing 50 metres from an abortion clinic and silently praying for three minutes, not obstructing anyone, not interacting with anyone, just silently praying on his own. After British law enforcement spotted him and demanded to know what he was praying for, Adam replied simply, it was on behalf of his unborn son.

He and his former girlfriend had aborted years before. Now the officers were not moved. Adam was found guilty of breaking the government’s new Buffer Zones Law, which criminalises silent prayer and other actions that could influence a person’s decision within 200 metres of an abortion facility. He was sentenced to pay thousands of pounds in legal costs to the prosecution.

Now, I wish I could say that this was a fluke, a one-off, crazy example of a badly written law being enacted against a single person. But no. This last October, just a few months ago, the Scottish government began distributing letters to citizens whose houses lay within so-called safe access zones, warning them that even private prayer within their own homes may amount to breaking the law. Naturally, the government urged readers to report any fellow citizens suspected guilty of thought crime in Britain and across Europe.

Free speech, I fear, is in retreat and in the interests of comedy, my friends, but also in the interest of truth, I will admit that sometimes the loudest voices for censorship have come not from within Europe, but from within my own country, where the prior administration threatened and bullied social media companies to censor so-called misinformation. Misinformation, like, for example, the idea that coronavirus had likely leaked from a laboratory in China. Our own government encouraged private companies to silence people who dared to utter what turned out to be an obvious truth.

So I come here today not just with an observation, but with an offer. And just as the Biden administration seemed desperate to silence people for speaking their minds, so the Trump administration will do precisely the opposite, and I hope that we can work together on that.

In Washington, there is a new sheriff in town. And under Donald Trump’s leadership, we may disagree with your views, but we will fight to defend your right to offer them in the public square. Now, we’re at the point, of course, that the situation has gotten so bad that this December, Romania straight up cancelled the results of a presidential election based on the flimsy suspicions of an intelligence agency and enormous pressure from its continental neighbours. Now, as I understand it, the argument was that Russian disinformation had infected the Romanian elections. But I’d ask my European friends to have some perspective. You can believe it’s wrong for Russia to buy social media advertisements to influence your elections. We certainly do. You can condemn it on the world stage, even. But if your democracy can be destroyed with a few hundred thousand dollars of digital advertising from a foreign country, then it wasn’t very strong to begin with.

Now, the good news is that I happen to think your democracies are substantially less brittle than many people apparently fear.

To believe in democracy is to understand that each of our citizens has wisdom and has a voice

And I really do believe that allowing our citizens to speak their mind will make them stronger still. Which, of course, brings us back to Munich, where the organisers of this very conference have banned lawmakers representing populist parties on both the left and the right from participating in these conversations. Now, again, we don’t have to agree with everything or anything that people say. But when political leaders represent an important constituency, it is incumbent upon us to at least participate in dialogue with them.

Now, to many of us on the other side of the Atlantic, it looks more and more like old entrenched interests hiding behind ugly Soviet era words like misinformation and disinformation, who simply don’t like the idea that somebody with an alternative viewpoint might express a different opinion or, God forbid, vote a different way, or even worse, win an election.

 

Powerful stuff, and you can imagine the EU's beloved rainbow rulers seething in their seats. Vance continued:

I believe deeply that there is no security if you are afraid of the voices, the opinions and the conscience that guide your very own people. Europe faces many challenges. But the crisis this continent faces right now, the crisis I believe we all face together, is one of our own making. If you’re running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing America can do for you. Nor for that matter, is there anything that you can do for the American people who elected me and elected President Trump. You need democratic mandates to accomplish anything of value in the coming years.

Have we learned nothing that thin mandates produce unstable results? But there is so much of value that can be accomplished with the kind of democratic mandate that I think will come from being more responsive to the voices of your citizens. If you’re going to enjoy competitive economies, if you’re going to enjoy affordable energy and secure supply chains, then you need mandates to govern because you have to make difficult choices to enjoy all of these things.

And of course, we know that very well. In America, you cannot win a democratic mandate by censoring your opponents or putting them in jail. Whether that’s the leader of the opposition, a humble Christian praying in her own home, or a journalist trying to report the news. Nor can you win one by disregarding your basic electorate on questions like, who gets to be a part of our shared society.

And of all the pressing challenges that the nations represented here face, I believe there is nothing more urgent than mass migration. Today, almost one in five people living in this country moved here from abroad. That is, of course, an all time high. It’s a similar number, by the way, in the United States, also an all time high. The number of immigrants who entered the EU from non-EU countries doubled between 2021 and 2022 alone. And of course, it’s gotten much higher since.

And we know the situation. It didn’t materialise in a vacuum. It’s the result of a series of conscious decisions made by politicians all over the continent, and others across the world, over the span of a decade. We saw the horrors wrought by these decisions yesterday in this very city. And of course, I can’t bring it up again without thinking about the terrible victims who had a beautiful winter day in Munich ruined. Our thoughts and prayers are with them and will remain with them. But why did this happen in the first place?

It’s a terrible story, but it’s one we’ve heard way too many times in Europe, and unfortunately too many times in the United States as well. An asylum seeker, often a young man in his mid-20s, already known to police, rammed a car into a crowd and shatters a community. Unity. How many times must we suffer these appalling setbacks before we change course and take our shared civilisation in a new direction? No voter on this continent went to the ballot box to open the floodgates to millions of unvetted immigrants. 

 

Wow. He just went right out and said it. Mass migration, deliberate, conscious, demographic suicide brought on by the people who love us so much they want to replace us. If the rainbow elites were seething before, now they're really raging. Vance concluded with reference to John Paull II and God himself:

To believe in democracy is to understand that each of our citizens has wisdom and has a voice. And if we refuse to listen to that voice, even our most successful fights will secure very little. As Pope John Paul II, in my view, one of the most extraordinary champions of democracy on this continent or any other, once said, ‘do not be afraid’. We shouldn’t be afraid of our people even when they express views that disagree with their leadership. Thank you all. Good luck to all of you. God bless you.

 

God bless you. A final coal heaped by a faithful Catholic Christian upon the heads of the demons in attendance.

What a speech,
