Trump Unveils Space Force Logo

It's been a momentous and historic day. President Trump's finally unveiled the logo of the Sixth Branch of our Military, the SPACE FORCE. Here at the Compound we think a picture's worth a thousand words.

All this to say nothing of 45's address to the March For Life, the first president to do so in person. But more on that later.

MAGA 2020,

Possible Coronavirus Reported in Texas

A Texas A&M student is under observation in Brazos County after showing possible signs of the deadly coronavirus. The student had traveled to China's Wuhan province, center of the contagion, where video's emerged of overwhelmed medical facilities and people collapsing in the street.

In #Wuhan，people are collapsing on streets due to the deadly #WuhanPneumonia .

So far 8 cities in the province, representing 23 million people, have been quarantined and the death toll has risen to 25 persons with over 800 reportedly infected. The actual figure could be far higher, in the 1000s.

Wuhan province is home to a level 4 biolab which studies deadly pathogens and tests them on monkeys. Richard Ebright, a molecular biologist at Rutgers University in Piscataway, New Jersey notes, "They can run, they can scratch, they can bite." Think about that. Zerohedge reports here.

Cases of the virus have so far been reported in the Middle East, South East Asia, Scotland and the US. The World Health Organization has not declared a state of international emergency, yet.

Here at the Compound we predict coronavirus in Africa, which the Chinese have colonized, and recommend staying away from airports and major cities.

Space Force Stardust

We are Stardust, we are golden and 45's SPACE FORCE is up and at it, weaponizing high orbit and beyond in the icy vastness of deep space. 

There's some debate about the new command's uniform but sources say it's space black with silver trim. Smart and somehow decisive, as in "we can and will take you out from SPACE. So take note and show some respect."

Speaking of which, anyone remember the earthquakes around Iran's nuke facility? They backed down real quick. Just sayin.

A Bit of This And a Bit of That

Everyone knows the Germans gave up their signature spiked helmets years ago but the tradition lives on, in South America. So if you're in the mood to see the infamous pickelhaube (point cap) in action, head over to Colombia or Chile.

Likewise, you're probably wondering about Imperial Roman standards, their Signa and famous Eagles. None of these have survived fully intact, though a gilded eagle (aquila) has been found in Romania. 

Remarkably, a cloth standard (vexillum) has come down to us. This square flag was discovered in Egypt and dates from the third century AD. It features the Goddess Victory but lacks unit designation. 

Vexillum experts tell us the flag would have represented a cavalry or auxiliary force or possibly the subdivision of a Legion, and was a significant if lesser emblem than the illustrious Signum or Aquila.

Speaking of which, it's said that the imperial standards lost at the disastrous battle of Adrianople (378 AD) were recovered by general Belisarius in his war against the Vandals. They were then paraded before Emperor Justinian in 534 AD at Constantinople's Hippodrome during the last Roman Triumph. So too were the treasures of the Jerusalem temple, looted by Titus and Vespasian and brought to Rome, only to be looted again by the Vandal King Gaiseric in the mid fifth century.

As Gaiseric's defeated son Gelimer was led in shame around the Hippodrome under the gaze of thousands of cheering Romans, he quoted scripture, "Vanity, vanity, all is vanity." But Gelimer wasn't strangled per the custom of old Rome, instead the vanquished Vandal was awarded estates in Galatia. He died in 553 AD.

I find this interesting unlike, say, the bogus impeachment spectacle taking place in the Senate.

A Gentle Richmond Reflection

A lot of people, to put it mildly, were worried about the 2A demo in Richmond today, including me. 

Would a Deep State asset cook-off and provide the lying, pugnacious, venal, corrupt, hypocritical, elite Media with an excuse to launch a vicious anti-freedom campaign? Would there be some kind of false flag as thousands of heavily armed men and women descended on the Old Capitol of the Cause?

Governor Blackface Northam Father of Lies certainly thought, at least publicly, that there'd be trouble and declared a state of emergency. Maybe, ran leftist rhetoric and perhaps genuine comtard paranoia, gun people would storm the Capitol in a fit of white nationalist supremacism. But no, 25,000 armed patriots turned up, made their point, picked up their trash and went home.

Relieved but not utterly surprised by this happy outcome, I drove to Dallas with Blue Second Amendment. I35 was a beast because of ongoing and perennial roadwork but no one got hurt, not dissimilar to Richmond when you think about it.

Before you could say "an armed citizen's a free citizen" we'd arrived at Ma LSP's place, where a crew of Mexicans were replacing wood, sanding down paint and generally making themselves useful. Well done Mr. Gonzales, give the compound a respray. 

Congrats to the 2A crew today and right thinking Virginians in general. Shoot straight and run Ralph "Minstrel" Northam outta town on a rail, use votes if you must. And have you noticed?

Meghan Markle makes Wallace Simpson look good. No easy task, all hail Sabo.

Virginia Cryptids - The Scallywagster

The Commonwealth of Virginia has a long and storied past, not least as home to a mysterious cryptid Old Dominion locals call "Scallywagster."

As far back as the 1700s, Virginia residents claimed a giant  carpet bag carrying, blackfaced reptilian bird would appear in the sky, and swoop down to attack freedom, pets, game, livestock, adults and sometimes even children. 

Eyewitness descriptions of the Scallywagster resemble that of a Mountebankesaur; an enormous flying monster with an absurdly claimed wingspan of twenty-five to thirty feet, a long smirking beak, and revolting, leathery, sagging, reptilian neck skin. 

The Scallywagster has tentacles, bloombergs, and carries with it the pungent scent of corruption, degeneracy and death. According to witnesses, its shriek resembles a drunken loser at the Kentucky Derby.

Reports of the Scallywagster are ongoing. Virginians be vigilant, wise and safe.

Knaves Charlatans And Crooks

There's no shortage of candidates for this nation's prestigious KCC (Knaves Charlatans Crooks) awards, but here at the Compound we'll get the ball rolling.

A knave, a crook, and a charlatan

Maxine Waters scored high. Yes, the KCC runs strong in this one, ponder her multi-million dollar mansion and tried and true record of corruption. And guess what? It's socialism. Try not to throw up in disgust.

Knave, crook, charlatan, cuffed

Michael Avenatti, popularly known as "Creepy Porn Lawyer" for his stalwart defense of prostitute Stormy Daniels, gets an award too. Yet another Millionaire Socialist, CPL got himself arrested in court a couple of days ago and led off in cuffs. Basta.

Note regimental tie. What a charlatan, to say nothing of crooked knave.

Al Sharpton gets a look in too, just coz it's obvious, and so do all the Congresspersons who not only enrich themselves on the public dime but also use your tax money to pay for their sexual adventures. Don't say hidden congressional sex slush fund.

Rachel isn't wearing an ankle bracelet, unlike Lev Parnas

And let's not forget the lying, venal, corrupt, elite, degenerate, hypocritical MSM.  Well done, "Rachel," you get a sturdy KCC award and them some.

So there it is, for now. The list is big and this is just a small start, a beginning. Feel free to nominate your KCC and may the worst crook win the best prize.

Looking forward to your nominations,

LSP 

Traitors Mountebanks And Frauds

Here at the Compound we're making cornbread, sharpening kukris and handing out awards. That's right, the coveted Traitor, Mountebank and Fraud awards or TMF for short. And the first prize has to go to Nancy Pelosi and the impeachment crew. 

Well done, team, for doing your level best to make a mockery of our Constitution and polity. Let's see how that plays out at the polls in November.

Governor Ralph "Minstrel" Northam comes in a sturdy second. So much fraudulent treason committed by one, yes one fraud. Remarkable. Behold the traitorous, lying blackface of the Old Dominion's ruling party.

Then there's Meghan. She's off to Canada, which belongs to Kate, and pretends she's royalty. A mountebank, clearly, and a traitorous fraud to boot. Rumors of Prince Philip threatening to take a crop to the LA, D-List, semi-celeb before leaving Sandringham in a rage are just that, rumors.

The world's first trans doll comes in fourth place. Looks like a little girl then, "Oh dear Mommy, what have we here?" A fraud designed by mountebanks and you can fit in traitor where you will.

So that's our list, you may well have another, there's no "rule" and perhaps it'll change tomorrow when and if Betelguese goes supernova. Feel free to add or subtract from the above, and by the way, the cornbread was awesome -- no sugar, 2 eggs, 2tsp baking powder, buttermilk, only cornmeal. But more on this later.

Virginia State Of Emergency

So what's the score? Governor Ralph "Minstrel" Northam's declared a "state of emergency" and banned guns from the state Capitol this Friday through Tuesday. He's afraid a Second Amendment demonstration on Monday's going to turn into an "armed insurrection."

Well now, it might just possibly become exactly that because Virginians who are already enraged at Minstrel's virtue signalling, Bloomberg paid-for gun grab aren't going to obey Governor Blackface Northam. 

No, they'll go to Richmond armed. And they'll do so because they believe a free citizenry is free to defend itself against tyranny. Not least from its own government.

2A justification aside, what does Minstrel hope to achieve by this posturing, is he trying to provoke a showdown? Possibly, "Just look at all those white supremacist Nazis, with guns! Good thing we've got the National Guard to shoot them all before some kind of goddam Richmond beer hall putsch!"

And that's just it. Since when are Virginian LE and the Guard going to fire on their brothers and sisters in defense of some fraudulant, MillSoc, Bloomberg pawn mountebank? I'd say never, I hope, and Minstrel has to know it.

So what's the score? I'd argue political theater and dangerous brinksmanship on Minstrel's part. He doubtless believes in gun control to the extent that he blackface believes in racial equality. What an utter fraud. 

The 2A crew are different, they really do believe and guess what? They know how to shoot. Poke that tiger at your peril.

First Fish Of The Year

As the morning's evolution drew to a close and sun shone through the mist like the warming hand of God, it seemed right to test the waters and fish. So I climbed in the rig and headed out to the dam in search of action, first time this year.

I wasn't expecting much, to be honest, it being deep Texas winter January and solidly off-season, so having the pier to myself wasn't unsurprising, pleasant though. Regardless, I cast off in search of fish, steeling myself for disappointment. As in "hey, it's really good to be outside in the clean air of the Brazos even if nothing bites" type of deal.

But no, they were on, and on and on and on. I stopped after three perch, three cats, two striper and one crappie. OK, they weren't huge but they weren't shabby either, especially the striper which put up a good fight.

So that was that, first catch of the year and it augurs well, I think, for 2020. Plenty of fish, Mini Mike B spends all his cash on a futile bid for power, hypersonic tech goes mainstream and 45 steams into the White House on a landslide of shattered liberal dreams.

And just like that, the Democrats go full Mullah. Unlike the Persians who are notoriously protesting and not walking all over our flag.

Well done 45 for pinning the hijab on the donkey!

Are these people trying to lose an election?
