Melania Mondays!

If you're a millionaire socialist New Wave has-been, like Bob Geldof, you don't like Mondays and want to shoot the whole day down. But we don't feel that way at the Compound because Monday means Melania Mondays! 

A Millionaire Socialist

That's a cause to celebrate as Melania dazzles the world on her first foreign policy trip. Hailed as Trump's "breakout star", the glamorous First Lady's been turning heads from Riyadh to Jerusalem.

Hailed by local Arab press as "conservative and classy," Melania wowed onlookers from the moment she stepped off Airforce One and only continued to impress. 

Whether walking with royalty, spending time with children or holding Israel's First Lady's hand, Melania won hearts and minds.

Well done, First Lady, for doing your part to make America great again.

Lavrov Trolls Lying Media

Sergey Lavrov, Russia's Foreign Minister, has accused our lying, elite, corrupt, fake media of being no better than than the agitprop organs of the now defunct Soviet Union, Pravda and Isvestia.

Via Zerohedge and Russia Insider:

I sometimes get the impression that many US media outlets work according to a principle which was common in the Soviet Union. Back then people used to joke that the newspaper Pravda [Truth] had no truth in it, and the Izvestia [News] paper has no news in it. I get the impression that many US media operate in the same way.

Perhaps you remember the days when we prided ourselves on a free objective press and freedom of religion. To say nothing of a fair degree of liberty from the forceful appropriation of the benefits of our labor by an all powerful State.

How things have changed. Russia has a flat tax of what, 13%? And they're allowed to pray in state-run schools, unlike us. In the meanwhile, our once objective media runs unsourced Democratic Party hit pieces on the person who had the sheer, brazen temerity to beat central state globalist Hillary, and beat her hard. That would be Trump.

In other news, what's on Huma/Weiner's laptop?

Are Women Priests Awesome?

Women priests, commonly known as "priestesses," awesome or not so awesome? That depends on who you speak to. Katherine Jefferts Schori thinks they are.

Justin Goofing Off With Priestesses

So does Justin Welby, the chino-wearing leader of the Worldwide Anglican Non Communion (WANC).

Typical Priestess Street Scene

On the other hand, Archbishop Okoh, who leads Nigeria's 20 million+ Anglicans, takes a dim view of priestesses. So does the Pope, the Ecumenical Patriarch and the Bishop of Fort Worth, Jack Iker.

If You Don't Ordain Women No One Will Go To Church

The conservative-minded Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) can't quite make up its mind and produced a report, outlining arguments pro and con. Both sides of the issue, says the report, have Godly integrity.

Is She or Isn't She

They do? One side emerged from God-hating feminist cultural Marxism and the other didn't. Likewise, one side destroyed Anglican sacramental unity, turning WAC (Worldwide Anglican Communion) into WANC, and the other didn't. And who was it that shipwrecked the chances of Anglican unity with the great churches of the East and West? 

A Dancing Priestess

As you reflect on these difficult questions, I'll leave you with a short rhyme.

Jefferts Schori

Woman priest? No such beast.

Trump Shakes, Like A Boss

When he's not busy being a Russian spy, President Trump's in Saudi Arabia with his glamorous wife, eating steak, cutting billion dollar deals and guess what?

Bowing Lackey

Not bowing. That's right, Trump doesn't bow to the House of Saud, like a craven poltroon or some kind of lackey. No, he shakes hands with the King like a Boss.

Like a Boss

Some say that's a refreshing change. In the meanwhile, pass the steak and let's have some ketchup, while we're at it.

Putin Plot To Lock Her Up

Shocking revelations have emerged of yet more Russian meddling in our democratic process, showing that the popular slogans "Lock Her Up!" and "Crooked Hillary" originated from  the Kremlin and Vladimir Putin himself.

Thanks to internal security expert, Maxine Waters, we now know that chants asking for Hillary Clinton to be "locked up" and accusing the rightful heir to the US presidency of being "crooked," were invented by Putin.

“I think that when you saw him, absolutely, calling Hillary ‘crooked,’ the, uh, ‘lock her up, lock her up,’ all of that was developed. I think that was developed strategically with people from the Kremlin, with Putin,” stated Waters on MSNBC.

These stunning allegations come on top of no evidence whatsoever that Donald Trump is a Russian agent who ruined Hillary Clinton's chance of the presidency. But imagine, for a moment, that the allegations are true and Putin really did reveal the deceit, cronyism and corruption at the heart of our political establishment and wrecked its pantsuited mouthpiece's bid for power and yet more wealth. More than that, he started a movement to imprison Hillary for her crimes.

Imagine that. Well then, I'd argue, with LL and others, that Putin, who runs KAOS and SPECTRE, deserves a medal. In the meanwhile, she's crooked.

So LOCK HER UP.

St. Basil's Rising

Thanks, TIME, for the powerful infographic of St. Basil's Cathedral slowly taking over the White House and turning it Christian. But note, the clever NWO Illuminati art stooges behind TIME's dismal leftist agitprop have airbrushed the crosses from the spires of the cathedral. 

A Typical Kremlin

Who knows, maybe the Kremlins stole them, like Shia's flag itself. Or maybe not because, you know, these days the Kremlin's Christian.  Can't have the fake news propaganda arm of the Democratic party advertising that now, can we. 

Regardless, please, someone, put Hillary behind bars and while we're at it, well done, St. Basil's, for doing your part to make America, if not the risible TIME, great again.

LOCK HER UP.

Liar, Liar, Toupe On Fire

Via ZeroHedge:

COMEY: Not in my experience. Because it would be a big deal to tell the FBI to stop doing something like that -- without an appropriate purpose.

I mean where oftentimes they give us opinions that we don't see a case there and so you ought to stop investing resources in it. But I'm talking about a situation where we were told to stop something for a political reason, that would be a very big deal.

It's not happened in my experience.

So Comey lied on May 3 or he's lying now. Maybe he's been lying all along, who knows. What we do know is that smart people are bringing fire extinguishers to next week's hearing just in case Comey's ill-fitting wig ignites due to the friction of deceit between pate and toupe.

In the meanwhile, a popular grassroots movement to reopen the Hillary investigation is gaining traction around the country.

LOCK HER UP.

Fish On, Hillary For Jail

Rather than talk about the urgent necessity of appointing a Special Counsel to bring Hillary to justice, I'll just post about fishing. That's one of the many benefits of LSPland, you can visit the flock and fish, all at the same time.

There were all kinds of panfish in the water at my friend's slip and for a while it was pretty much a fish with every cast. Some ferocious Bluegill fighters, too, and a couple of Bass for good measure. Huge fun and I should've brought a cooler.

I left as the sun was setting over the lake and the air smelled like Texas, sage, mesquite, cedar and cooling limestone. I love that.

Hillary For Jail,

His Name is Seth Rich

Perhaps you're wondering why statements from Seth Rich's family sound as though they were written by a professional Democrat. It's because they are, Brad Bauman, and you can read about this Pastorum Group Democrat PR here.

Surely Rich couldn't have been killed because he leaked over 40,000 DNC emails to Wikileaks. I mean, it's not like anyone connected to the Clinton political machine ever ended up dead or anything. 

And why blame yourselves and an internal leak who exposed your corruption when you can scapegoat those wicked Kremlins?

Hillary For Jail,

Impeach The Kremlins!

The corrupt, elite, lying, venal, mendacious mainstream media just won't let it go. They can't drop the holographic bone that is the phoney "Russians hacked the election!" pseudo-narrative. 

Now they're running like a mongrel on meth with another faked-up angle, that Trump gave state secrets to Sergei Lavrov because our President's really a Russian spy. So we have to impeach him before the evil the kremlins destroy our great democracy!

Russian strongman, Vladimir Putin, summed up this errant nonsense rather neatly. Here he is:

"I spoke to him (Lavrov) today, (and) I'll be forced to issue him (Lavrov) with a reprimand because he did not share these secrets with us. Not with me, nor with representatives of Russia's intelligence services. It was very bad of him."

Putin, who's a well known sportsman, continued:

"It's hard to imagine what else these people who generate such nonsense and rubbish can dream up next. What surprises me is that they are shaking up the domestic political situation using anti-Russian slogans. Either they don't understand the damage they're doing to their own country, in which case they are simply stupid, or they understand everything, in which case they are dangerous and corrupt."

 A Typical Putin-is-Cool Palace Scene

Dangerous and corrupt? Yes indeed. In the meanwhile, why isn't the media covering the 40k+ DNC emails that Seth Richards, who wasn't Russian, sent Wikileaks before he, ahem, was murdered committed suicide?

More Fishing

Yesterday's fishing was slow. Like the corrupt, lying, elite, venal, condescending, pugnacious mainstream media attempting to find proof of Trump acting as a Russian spy, not a lot was happening. A lot of trying, a lot of fishing, but no catching to speak of. 

Similar, come to think of it, to the infamous Kremlins hacking our election. No end of frenzied searching, no end likewise of not finding the elusive beasts. But that was yesterday, today was different.

Today the fish were biting like a Trump Train on full power. Boom. First off, a Megabass hit my worm  in the pool of Lake Whitney dam spillway, then took off ferociously upstream. No use, fish, you're coming in, if only to live to fight again another day.

No sooner was the gigantosaurian Bass back in the water than a Striper came in, and on and on it went. In the end my arms grew tired from reeling in the monsters, Black Drum, Stripers, Catfish, Bass and a lone Bluegill.

It made for some some brisk and satisfying action and then it was over, fish back in the Brazos and me in a truck heading back to the compound, time well spent.

Tight lines,

Fish

GWB headed over from Dallas for an evening of dove poppers, steak and a morning of fishing at Soldiers' Bluff. And I tell you this, it's a relief to be able to eat juicy steaks again; I cooked them on the grill, three minutes a side. They were right on.

Ocean Conservancy

Fortified by last night's ribeye, we drove out to the lake with high hopes of catching a cooler-full of Bluegill. Maybe GWB's cowboy hat would help, acting as a kind of country lure. But no, despite the promise of an early Striper the fishing was slow at best. 

Beer Battered Fish Snacks

Still, a few aquatic predators made it back to the compound, and  a right tasty snack they were too.

Fish on,
