Happy Juneteenth!

 

Happy Juneteenth, punters. How are you celebrating this great feast of freedom, a holiday second perhaps to Kwanza itself. With fried chicken, yum, fall-off-the-bone tender ribs, spit roast cat and all of that? I hope not, because it's Friday and we don't eat meat on Friday, being Christians.

Weird, isn't it, how Protestants mostly look down upon or ignore fasting when it's right there in the Bible, as in Christ Himself does it and commends it. Huh, I guess some parts of Sola Scriptura are more sola than others. Fasting and solas aside, here at the Compound we're enjoying this jolly old Juneteeth by looking out on our Old Adversary the Weather from the safety of the front porch. And what do we see?

Typical Texan Porch Scene

Glowering clouds, a chill breeze, rain, and the dull rumble of thunder. Yes, a storm's threatening to blow in from the West, and for a moment it looked like we were in for a tornado, the air was turning green. But the threat has passed, for now.

Time, then, to break out champagne and smoked salmon (does this somehow count as fasting? Ed.) as we dare our Ancient Enemy, the Weather, to do its worst on this joyous day of liberation. Speaking of which, d'ye not think it about time for the US to reposition a Carrier Group into the English Channel and liberate the UK?

C'mon, it wouldn't be hard, it's not as though the Sceptered Isle has a Navy, Army or Air Force. Way easier than, say, the Straits of Hormuz, and we'd be welcomed as liberators. Maybe next year, on this sacrosanct day, Juneteenth.

So What Have We Learned?

 

So what have we learned. In no particular order:

Islam is a right menace, yes, they want to conquer us

White Rhodesia was significantly better than Black Zim

Having an actual navy is actually important

Net Zero is an utter fake scam

Import the Third World, get the Third World

 

OK, all good lessons, but what about this. If your money's an IOU at interest to a central bank, then every cent you own is a depreciating asset, not unlike a car. Word to the wise, invest in reality, gold, silver, eyries in the Mogollon, spiritual truth. What, "spiritual truth?"

Yes, exactly that, spiritual truth. There is such a thing you know, and it's to be found in the Gospel, the Church, the Mass, and in Christ Himself.

Every Blessing,

LSP

TRAITORS

 

Yes, Lloyds of London, which withdrew insurance from ships travelling through that old oil chokepoint, the Straits of Hormuz. Then 47 offered alt insurance, dropping the price of oil and opening, in theory, the sea lanes. Keen-eyed observers of the insurance scene are wondering if shipping companies will return to Ayatollah Lloyds.

They really really hate you

In related news, the Cultural Marxist Parliament of "it's only got One Destroyer" Great Britain has abolished hereditary peerages in the House of Lords. I'm appalled by this, not least because holding aristocracy to sound governance makes sense but also because replacing them with bought and paid for grifters, aka MPs, opens all kinds of evil doors and cheapens the nation. To put it mildly.

Lord Palmerston. Those guys were hard and went hard

So here we are, beholding the deliberate demolition of a once very great nation, the UK, trying to peer through the fog of war over Persia and the Middle East, and taking care of Ma LSP in the Metrosprawl. She's doing pretty well, by the way.

Cheers,
