Basta

Have you heard the news? Quondam presidential hopeful Michael Avenatti, popularly known as Creepy Porn Lawyer (CPL), has been found guilty on all counts of attempting to extort money from Nike. He awaits sentencing.

Race Cars! No coke obvs

Avenatti, signature sign-off Basta, who obviously isn't a coke addict, represented famous prostitute Stormy Daniels in a case against Trump, which ended badly with Stormy being ordered to pay 45's legal costs. But the once and not so future president started to sink under the sheer weight of hubris and totally fictional cocaine bills.

Prostitute. Clearly no coke

Before you could say "8 Ball," CPL was hauled before the court for fraud, extortion, skulduggery and malfeasance. Nike, it seems, didn't take kindly to the wannabe race car driver's cokehead's attempt at blackmail, and his former wife's not too keen either. 

No Coke Involved Whatsoever

But look, here at the Compound we don't sit and gloat. No, we hope that a coke free CPL has learned his lesson and will rise from the ashes to use his skills to help us all in the not inconsiderable task of making America great again.

A Man in Full without any coke whatsoever

I know, you're saying, "Is this a chapter in a Tom Wolfe novel,  like Bonfire of the Vanities or A Man in Full?!?" What can we say? Cinéma vérité.

Go West

Go West? Yes, to the town of West, a small Texan farming community known for its Czech Stop bakery on the side of highway I35. The town's named after Thomas West, the town's first Postmaster who sold land to the Missouri-Kansas-Texas railway in 1881.

West grew up around the rails and prospered along with its Postmaster, attracting immigrants from Czechoslovakia who were drawn to the area by the heady lure of rich farmland and all-round opportunity. 

You can see their influence today in the catholicism of the place and its several bars or pubs, to say nothing of various bakeries, not least the notorious Czech Stop. The Czechs are there today as of the 2012 census, which credits West with the highest concentration of Czechoslovakians in the state.

The railway still bisects this curiously attractive town, though it's now sadly restricted to freight. What a shame, it'd be a far more civilized thing to be able to get on a train at Hillsboro, ride to West or Waco, have fun, then ride the rails back home as opposed to driving on the hideous and deadly I35. 

Who knows, maybe that day will return in some form or another, but hopefully not in the way of another Crush Crash. You can see all about that infamous disaster here.

Crush Crash aside, it was good to go to the Two Amigos restaurant with a crew of churchpeople, and they say, interestingly, that a congregation which meets during the week is more likely to grow than one which doesn't. Good point. 

Sound

They also say a church which actually believes in Christianity is more likely to grow than one that doesn't. Bizarre, perhaps someone should inform Pope Francis and his lesser colleague, the apologetic Archbishop of Canterbury. But therein lies another story.

Laura Blasts The left

Laura may be easy on the eyes but that's not all. In this infovid she calls out the Left and our double standard press/judiciary.

Imagine, if you can, the outrage that would've burst across the front pages if a Trump supporter had driven through a crowd of Bernie supporters. Picture, if you're up to it, the incandescent fury of the Left.

Now, count up the quiet fury of the other side. People are getting fed with "sorry, your kid needs to go trans, you stupid redneck, and Islam's a religion of peace so suck up the latest bomb," etc. And lest we forget, "Look out, idiot redneck, your president's a Russian Agent!"

Random .45

FFS. We've had enough, and look out, one side knows how to shoot, the other doesn't. No kidding.

Speaking of which, my eldest tells me, "We love Trump, he stands for us. We got a pay rise and he's got our back. The Army loves him a lot."

Go figure. Landslide 2020,

Strolling The Deluge

Darkness, thunder, rain. No, this wasn't downtown Aberystwyth in July, it was Texas in February. Climate change experts tell us that if you collect the rainfall here you'll have enough water to last the year, and I believe it. Undaunted by the deluge I left the Compound for a morning stroll.

Stairway To Heaven

Only to see that the Meth Shackers have cleverly built a stairway to heaven; there it is, a ladder to paradise. What happens when you get to the top of the ladder, I asked myself as I gazed at the floral tributes in front of the shack. Who knows, perhaps you ascend, higher.

Meth Shack, Note Beautiful Floral Tributes (stop using "filters." Ed.)

The Pick 'n Steal was open for business but eerily empty apart from an elderly POC playing a slot machine. He's a Nam vet and plays that machine every day; I like him, though we've never really talked. Need to change that.

Pick 'n Steal

One large coffee later I was back on the flooded streets of the bucolic Texan farming community I've called home for the last decade or more, and you know what, I'm not complaining. For me, it beats living in the 'sprawl that is the DFW megacity connurb. You may think differently and that's fine, there's no "rule."

Storm Debris

Back at the Compound, Blue Dog-Faced Pony Soldier curled up on a Moslem rug while I said the Office. He's not buying the "religion of peace" thing. 

"It's obviously not a religion of peace," he tells me, "It was started by a warlord in search of loot, rape and plunder." I accuse him of racism but he just snores. Typical. Next thing you know he'll be banging on about "replacement strategy," asymmetrical warfare, the Kalergi Plan and trying to make me read Mark Steyn. But what does he know? He's just a dog. 

Dog-Faced Pony Soldier On A Moslem Rug

In other news, Juicy Smollet's been indicted, 4 prosecutors have fled the Stone case, 45 held a massive rally in New Hampshire, and Biden's campaigning in Iowa again, or something like that. And Britain's deported a load of Jamaicans for being thugs, much to the disgust of the self-loathing white left and their POC friends.

All About The Hat

So there it is. Rain continues to fall and the clay ground of the Compound is pretty much flooded. Blue Deluge is sleeping, God is in his heaven and the Democrats flounder like beached fish after a storm. Is 45 anointed, by God?

Stand firm against evil,

DEMTANIC

Here at the Compound we're playing Demtanic on continuous loop. Why? Because awesome, obviously. 

In other news, it's dark, thunder rumbles across the sky and rain pours down on the streets of this rural Texan haven with Aberystwyth Pier ferocity. Such is the penalty for not paying the weather tax, but more on this exciting story later.

Deluged,

Viral

Can you watch Styx for 10 minutes? I know, perhaps that's difficult, but he gives a good round-up viz. coronavirus. Official reports put infections at over 40k and we know that over 400 million are quarantined/locked down in China. 

Reports from citizen journalists suggest crematoria are operating 24/7, making for a surge in SO2 levels. Point being, this escaped bug factory virus isn't some kind of kung-flu joke. So what to do?

Good question. Move to high ground, get away from the teeming sprawls that are our sh*thole cities, move to the country. While you're at it, ensure water and food supplies; you think I'm joking? In Wuhan, infected people are locked in their houses, do the food math and don't think it can't happen here. Lay in ammo too, if you haven't already.

But all of the above aside, consider this. Why would an omnipotent, omniscient, utterly righteous God, who is perfection in Himself, necessity at rest and absolute expansion, why would such Deity allow a culture which kills its children, its babies, to continue?

Of course a people that's so sick as to kill its children is equally capable of killing itself. We stand against that and we will win, the victory's assured. In the meanwhile, prep up.

Lying Dog Faced Pony Soldier

Wannabe president Joe Biden verbally abused a woman in New Hampshire at one of his pathetically small campaign events, calling her a "lying, dog-faced pony soldier." What does that even mean? Here at the Compound  we believe a picture's worth a thousand words.

Two typical dog-faced pony soldiers. Tell the truth, boys.

A good dog-faced pony soldier looks after his horse and that's no lie.

Dog-faced pony soldiers operate in all weather conditions. Sometimes they tell the truth, sometimes they don't.

Biden's used the cryptic phrase before, dementedly claiming it's a quote from a John Wayne movie. But so far the aging politician's rhetoric doesn't seem to be working, with  Real Clear Politics showing the presidential hopeful polling at an underwhelming fourth or fifth place in the New Hampshire primary.

Whether the 77 year old politician's habit of insulting voters with gibberish will reverse this dismal trend remains to be seen.

Ride on,

Coronavirus Update

It started off almost innocently, a playful thing of happy workers eating bats in the utopia that is the Celestial Kingdom.

Then, oh dear, maybe the weirdly contagious and fatal bat virus came from a Wuhan bug factory, a deadly weaponized virus that broke free from a bioweapons lab. Coz, you know, bats infected with killer pathonogens don't bite anybody.

Fast forward. According to official Chinese estimates there's 35k++ victims. Or would that be 350k? Who knows, but what we do know is that over 400 million Chinapersons are locked up, giving new meaning to Chinoiserie.

Good thing it's not contagious.

Prep up,

The Sheer State Of Socialism

Via Anon:

The Left is dead and like all dinosaurs the fact that it is dead takes a long time to reach the brain. History has turned. The paradigm has shifted. The old elite is hemorrhaging power and authority. The elite-led Parisian revolt of 1968 is now an ideological busted flush.

The Parisian revolt of 2020 is not led by the elite. It has not arisen from the Sorbonne, it has not been hyped by the media or the Universities and is a threat to the globalist left as much as it is a revolt against global capitalism. 

The West stands on the brink of a new Philosophical and Intellectual dawn, free from the twin ideological tyrannies of the Post-Modernism and Marxism.

The Democrats like the British Labour Party will be out of power for at least a decade, if not a lot longer. Unless they purge their parties of the extremists, racists and nutters they will remain unelectable. If they cannot be reformed then they are finished as mainstream political parties.

I'd say Anon has a point but feel free to discuss.

YOU'RE FIRED

Lt. Colonel "Teletubby" Vindman's been given the Order of the Boot today and was escorted off the NSC and the White House by security. His brother, Lt. Col. Yevgeny Vindman, was also kicked off the NSC and had to leave the building.

Teletubby was briefly famous for his role as a lying rat traitor in the risible Ukrainian impeachment putsch. And, according to the failing New York Times, the treasonous officer abused his position to advise the Ukraine on ways to counter Trump's foreign policy. But that's not all.

Gordon Sondland, US Ambassador to the EU, got the coveted SNLR Award (Services No Longer Required) today too. Sondland played a star role in the dismally unsuccessful coup attempt to remove the president on bogus charges of a "quid pro pro" (surely quid pro Joe? Ed.) abuse of power by the president.

Three down in one day as President Trump levels up with bonus superpowers following the risible, underhand, lying, corrupt, elite, deep state drive to seize power through coup attempt #2.

Question - how deep, patriots, does the Ukrainian rathole go?

Rest in Peace Colonel Hoare

Colonel Mad Mike Hoare died on the Feast of the Presentation, February 2nd, 2020, he was 100 years old. This in itself is remarkable, given his way of life. One reader commented, "His death is a tragedy, but he had a good run."

Yes indeed. The film Wild Geese is based on Hoare's heroic action in the Congo, and some argue it's the "best film ever made." He not only stood against but fought the Communist horde.

Rest in Peace, Colonel Hoare, and rise in glory.

What A Week Of Winning

pic.twitter.com/JDS4zUXXJG

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 5, 2020

What a week it's been, unless you're a Democrat. It started off with the Iowa caucus, which degenerated into a risible shambles with the DNC failing to pin a leader on the donkey because it couldn't count votes. All because of some useless and unworkable Soros funded "app," evidently. On the other hand, 45 emerged as an uncontested winner.

And that continued with last night's State of the Union address. What was supposed to be an embarrassing humiliation for a disgraced president waiting to be kicked out of office turned into the opposite, a Trumpian tour de force triumph. By contrast, Pelosi summed up the ethos of her party as she ripped up the president's speech - petty, mean, vindictive and somehow unhinged. America wasn't impressed.

Then today another victory, as Trump was acquitted in the Senate on both counts of impeachment. And go figure, he hadn't actually done anything wrong except beat Hillary Clinton in an election. Pierre Delecto, aka Mittens Romney, didn't see it that way and voted with the opposition. Let's see how well that works out for him in Utah.

There it is, three wins in as many days and yet again, remember Mueller Time?, another Deep State, Democrat, media-driven coup attempt flounders, capsizes and sinks into the icy waters of ignominy, turpitude and defeat.

At this rate we have to ask, are the Democrats trying to lose? 

Cheers,
