Power Scrubbed

 



Ooof! USS Harvey Milk, the gayest ship that ever there was, is being renamed per Pete Hegseth's orders. What will the ship be called going forward? Who knows, maybe USS Patton, Jackson or Lee. Whatev, here's Zero:

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has ordered US Navy ship be renamed so it no longer honors a gay rights activist. Springing into action, Navy Secretary John Phelan has assembled a working group to come up with a new name for what is now the USNS Harvey Milk, and they're expected to announce the new honoree by the end of the month.     



"[Secretary Hegseth] is committed to ensuring that the names attached to all DOD installations and assets are reflective of the Commander-in-Chief’s priorities, our nation’s history, and the warrior ethos," said Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell. Pentagon sources tell various outlets the move was deliberately timed to coincide with Pride Month. Earlier this year, Hegseth summarized his campaign to overhaul the military's culture: “No more pronouns, no more climate change obsessions, no more emergency vaccine mandates, no more dudes in dresses."

In related news, recruitment figures are way up. Wow, quelle tremendous surprise. You can read all about it on the Internet.

Power Wash

 



So what's going on at the Compound? Good question. Power washing the back deck with a Hyper Tough pressure washer. Wow, watch that grime get washed away.



Next step? Sand the ancient timbers of the deck or merely cover them with a stained seal? Dunno, let's see what kind of wisdom prevails. In the meanwhile, it's all going on here, and that's no bad thing.




Next installment in this thrilling episode of Southern Country Home? HANGING FERNS. Stay tuned, punters.

This & That

 



Do you remember the POC puke who stabbed a boy because, how dare he, suggested the holy, sacrosanct, protected POC move his seat? Sure you do, Carmelo Anthony took a knife to a High Scool seating arrangement. Read all about it on the internet and I hope the family of the teen who was killed by this black savage gets justice and recompense.




In other news, Ukraine launched a massive strike against Russia's nuclear bomber fleet, Mrs LSP is urging me to practice "Ring of Fire" and Kier Starmer, the UK's hated leaderene, is telling Brits to stand by for war-fighting "readiness." Excuse me, with what army? Surely not another excuse to raise taxes.



Regardless, here at the Compound we're renewing fishing licenses, clipping hedges, growing tomato vines, getting Letters of Introduction and all of that. What can I say?

Clubland forever,

Discuss

 



What does the Demon want? Trans rights, Bolshevikism, insane men in your daughter's bathroom, moar tax, race war, no borders, your erasure as a people under the guise of tolerance. Oh, and no Christianity. Russia's against this so we're fighting it, because fighting Russia always goes well. Dear friends, maybe this time will be the exception.

Discuss.

Ride On

 

me, a few years back


A few years ago and there I was, riding with my boys in a beautiful arena. They rode well, I tell you, then exited stage left. Time for me to open up the throttle and run hell for leather around the track, which I did.


It was her horse

Dear readers, all two you, please understand that this was like taking a Maserati out for a a spin; Randy was/is a PRA barrel horse, notorious for throwing careless riders. "Hey, man, take it easy, don't fall off," Did I? No, I did not, much to PRA amazement. On the contrary, we sped along as one.

What a lot of fun and guess what, the kids, bless 'em, rode like buddha pros.

Your Best Pal,

When Canons Are Roaring

 



It's not easy being a MONARCHIST these days. Perhaps it never was. Regardless, musical friends are learning this tune to produce on the world stage. Go for it, boys.



Push a Pike,

Ain't nothing wrong with the way she moves.




Then there's Bob Weir's shorts. Ignore them, get in the groove and thank God for his mercy. Speaking of which, picked up a valu pak of 9mm today. Time to take that little pistol out for a spin. Fire onna mountain style.

Cheers,

Ascension

 




It's the great and weirdly forgotten Feast of the Ascension today, which I hope you were able to celebrate with suitably Tridentine splendor. Speaking of which, our liturgy was simple. Just an oriented Low Mass, with no liturgical dance or wymxn priestesses, oddly, but it was comparatively well attended albeit a few notable absences.


where are they?

"Huh," I thought to myself, Sherlock Holmes style, "Where are they?" Good question, surely they weren't at Shooky's, which is a pleasant marina restaurant overlooking the lake. 


Shooky's

As you know, intuition is key in the detective trade and I followed it, arriving at Shooky's some 20 minutes after Mass. It's alright there, it has a resort marina friendly vibe and a great view of the lake, and the food's alright. I ordered catfish, onion rings, hush puppies and a plastic beaker of cold white wine. Nice. Next step?

Wander around jolly old Shooky's and look for the lost sheep of the house of Mission #2. Lo and behold, there they were, in the pool room. A grin, "Happy Feast of the Ascension! You do know the food here's even better after Mass." What can I say? Caught in the act, and a good time was had by all, what good people.

Oremus:


Concede, quaesumus, omnipotens Deus: ut, qui hodierna die Unigenitum tuum Redemptorem nostrum ad caelos ascendisse credimus, ipsi quoque mente in caelestibus habitemus.

Grant, we beseech Thee, almighty God, that we who believe Thine only-begotten Son, our Redeemer, to have this day ascended into heaven, may ourselves dwell in spirit amid heavenly things.


God bless you all,

What A Gang Of Crooks



Per Wall Street Apes:


Everyone is paid off. We don’t have a Congress. We have a group of money laundering criminals

535 self enriching criminals taking legal bribes from their donors to steal our money is the dumbest form of government in existence. 95% should be in prison, not in Congress.

 

And we're paying for it at every turn. When, dear readers, is enough enough?

Lest We Forget

 


Good old Melanie,

LSP

Memorial Day 2025



Thunder rolled like the sound of distant guns, a young buzzard picked at the carcass of an armadillo in the street and there you have it. A Memorial Day morning stroll down the sylvan boulevards of Olde Texas to the Pick 'n Steal, aka Shamrock filling station, for coffee and Marlboro Light Shorts. 

There'll be hamburgers on the grill later with good time to be had for all. That said, let's not forget the purpose of the day. Here's a short prayer from the 1928 BCP:

ALMIGHTY God, our heavenly Father, in whose hands are the living and the dead; We give thee thanks for all those thy servants who have laid down their lives in the service of our country. Amen

May they rest in peace and rise in glory,

LSP

Well That Was Fun

 


Here's what happened. We climbed into the rig and drove to Dallas to take care of business. Part of that involved picking up flowers for Ma LSP by way of Mothers Day and Birthday. And then? Fire up the grill and have at it, burgers. What an enjoyable evening.




The next day was all about USGOV in its local franchise and it wasn't bad, all things considered, though it left Mrs LSP hungry for tacos. Yes, street tacos, fancy tacos, any tacos would do. We found some just off the hideous Kennedy memorial in Dallas' attempt to build a tourist trap, it's deserted, failed "West End" restaurant strip. My dad used to love it there, and I thought of him as we got down on those tacos. They were pretty tasty, if pricey.




Next step? The Galleria. Far out, I hadn't been there since the '90s, but off we went down the Tollway and arrived at the objective. What was that? You ask with bated breath, H&M. Yep, H&M, and I tell you this, punters, the one on Regent Street's better. Don't ask me how I know. Both are cheap, fortunately.

Then back to Ma LSP's HQ for dinner. Was a good time had by all? It most assuredly was. More later as this exciting story develops.

Your Best Pal,

LSP
