Border Update

 

Looks like Lieutenant Governors and Attorney Generals are weighing in. Here's North Carolina:

And Kentucky:

And here's our Commander-in-Chief:

Go Abbott,

Malfeasance Oppression Tyrannical Partiality

 

Looks like you crossed some kinda line, Fani, and now you have to pay the price. Which she might be able to do because Fani's net worth is mere 8 million socialist dollars. You can read all about it on Zero, here.

Bushcraft, bringing home the bacon

In sum, massive corruption. What are we, Zimbabwe? Something like that, but with far greater amounts of DEI cash to sling around the Malfeasance Zone which is our governance. Come back, Selous Scouts, all is forgiven.

Your Old Pal,

#BorderCrisis Memes

 

Well it's all going on, eh?

And then some

Fire up the grill

Missouri

And let's not forget our brave farmers

And Montana too

And on and on, but maybe the old memes are the best memes.

I Won't Back Down

 

Situation developing, but it seems like Governor Abbott is holding the line, he's not backing down and neither are some 25 other states. Who can blame them? They're not enthralled at the prospect of being flooded with hundreds of thousands of invaders. Likewise, they're not too keen on the new Democrat import-a-vote crookery, which threatens their jobs, and no wonder, they'd lose the local power they've worked so hard to gain.

So here we are. The Old Crook's told Abbott he has to back down by end of play today or else. Or else what? Are the Feds gonna go and arrest Abbott in the Governor's Mansion? Maybe III Corps will roll outta Fort Hood on Austin with armored phantom fury. Who knows, maybe local LEO will simply close in and arrest Abbot and put him in gaol. Hunh.

Or, on the other hand, perhaps some court will declare Texas an insurrectionist state and bar it from the electoral college in 2024. Boom, guaranteed Blue Tsunami except that the Rainbow Party will have to disenfranchise 25 other states, with their military, with all their guns and all of that; I don't see it. We are, it seems, at an impasse, make of it what you will. Whatev, here's a song to aid reflection:

Go Abbott,

Hoist The Black Flag

 

This seems appropriate, right about now.

Ride on,

Fighting Talk

 

Governor Greg Abbott made history yesterday on the 160th anniversary of the Battle of the Wilderness, throwing down against the Old Crook and his gang of traitors in DC. Here's the statement, in case you haven't already read it several times over:

"President Biden has instructed his agencies to ignore federal statutes that mandate the detention of illegal immigrants. The failure of the Biden Administration to fulfill the duties imposed by Article IV, § 4 has triggered Article I, § 10, Clause 3, which reserves to this State the right of self-defense. For these reasons, I have already declared an invasion under Article I, § 10, Clause 3 to invoke Texas’s constitutional authority to defend and protect itself. That authority is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary."

Wow, that went from 5 to 80 in about a second. 

So far 25 states have come out in support of Texas and our border, of the country itself. It seems, dear readers, that we're fast moving into 1850s territory; so what's the Power gonna do, go to war against Texas and it's allies? Let's see and hoist the Black Flag while you're at it.

160 Years Ago, the Battle of the Wilderness:

Scarce had we moved a step when General Lee, in front of the whole command, raised himself in his stirrups, uncovered his grey hairs, and with an earnest, yet anxious voice, exclaimed above the din and confusion of the hour, “Texans always move them!”

Never before in my lifetime or since, did I ever witness such a scene as was enacted when Lee pronounced these words, with the appealing look that he gave. A yell rent the air that must have been heard for miles around, and but few eyes in that old brigade of veterans and heroes of many a bloody field was undimmed by honest, heart-felt tears. 

Leonard Gee, a courier to General Gregg, and riding by my side, with tears coursing down his cheeks and yells issuing from his throat exclaimed, “I would charge hell itself for that old man.”

Word

 

A friend sent this, via Rod Dreher's substack:

"It is not that they love the millions of migrants and illegals more than their own countrymen. They hold us both in contempt: they are content to see the migrants exploited and trafficked, and to see us swamped and erased. Their approach signals their inmost selves, cruelty masquerading as compassion. The desperate girl trafficked from the Darien Gap to Dallas, raped and sold along the way, laboring to pay a fraudulent debt at an off-the-books job, is the apotheosis of progressivism’s achievement."

 

Wish I'd written that,

Retreat

 

It's that time of year when our diocesan clergy go on retreat at the Jesuit set up on Lake Dallas, Montserrat. It's good to get away and refocus on the spiritual life. 

It's been good, too, to hear a series of excellent meditations by Bishop Iker. What an outstanding bishop. But more on this later, it's time for Mass.

Salve,

Last Waltz

 

Let's hear it for Emmy Lou:

So awesome,

Cleanse The Palate

 

The UK still has some soldiers, not many, hardly any, but some. Do you think UKGOV got rid of their Army because they thought it was disloyal to GloboHomo power? As in can't have those Praetorians hijack our rainbow power grab.

Maybe so, and weird calculus given the UK is baying for war. Anyway, here's what's left of the Scots regiments, doing  their thing:

The Curse Of The Skinny Suit

 

nasty

Look, I know there's a lot of terrible things going on the world, like the stars aligning for WWIII, the rank apostasy of Western institutional religion, the trans climate rainbow cult, a demented Old Crook in the White House and so much more. But have you noticed this, the Skinny Suit?

faggy

The Skinny Suit is a suit that's cut several sizes too small for the wearer and I noticed them, in abundance, in London last year. There were all these guys walking around in these stupid skinny suits, as if they'd been bought a suit by their parents for their 18th birthday and... kept wearing it into their 30s.

fool

Why, we ask, do people spend money on these hideous looking so-called "suits" which don't fit them? Is there some kind of message in this, some weird and distasteful message? Possibly, but whatever's behind this hideous trend, it needs to stop. Look, here's a real suit, perhaps you can spot the difference.

awesome, note sharkskin

Is Nico Good Or Bad?

 

What's your take on Nico, punters, Andy Warhol's Velvet Underground songstress? Described as "half goddess, half icicle" Nico sang with the Underground, obvs, was pals with Jim Morrison, went solo and died in the '80s in Ibiza, from a brain haemorrhage. On a bicycle ride, curiously.

dear readers, note skag skin

My take. This inconsequential mind-blog scorns heroin and all of that, but I feel her voice was haunting. Perhaps this is a sign of weakness in me; feel free to disagree. In the meanwhile, here's a tangential tribute:

Stay Healthy,
