Take a Walk!



One of the benefits of living in a small rural farming community is being able to walk places. So what? You snort dismissively. So a lot; just you try and walk somewhere in one of America's metrosprawls. 

"I know," you think to yourself, "I'll walk to the shops." Think again, your city isn't built for walking or even for humans, it's built for cars instead.


The Broken Debris of Obama's America

That's not so true in older country towns, which were designed on a more human scale, and I like to take advantage of that, strolling out to the local Pick 'n Steal with Blue Defender after Morning Prayer. Or, for that matter, to Montes Mexican Diner.


This isn't Cheshire

I went down the latter route the other day, offering up the members of the congregations in prayer as I walked along the leafy boulevards of Olde Texas. 


A Typical Shack

Perhaps that sounds overly pious to you but I find walking and prayer tend to go together. There's something in it that stills the mind.


This isn't Kent

That said, there's plenty of mental space to take in the sights and reflect on the fact that this is Texas, opposed to Kent or even Cheshire. Then you arrive at Montes and everything's good. 


Tradition

I ordered Huevos Rancheros, I always do, it's a tradition.

Was I armed? Maybe.

The Final Countdown!



I think this powerful and uplifting infographic speaks for itself and while you ponder its wisdom, see if you can name one of Obama's accomplishments. Let's see.

Race relations? Healthcare? Employment? No? OK, maybe foreign policy was more his ticket, like in Syria and Libya. Hmmm, maybe not. Of course, the economy! Which is booming as long as it's measured in trillions of dollars of debt.




So go on, take the challenge and name a single Obama accomplishment. In the meanwhile...

The Countdown continues.

Melania Mondays!



Yes, it's that time of the week again, the best time, the time we've all been waiting for. That's right, Melania Mondays! and what's America's stylish, attractive and smart First Lady been up to, apart from looking good and lifting the nation's spirits?


Golden Melania

Only having famous designers fall over themselves to make clothes for her, that's what, and who can blame them. Calvin Klein, Diane Von Furstenberg, Tommy Hilfigger, Zac Posen, Dolce & Gabbana, Victor de Souza, to name just a few, are all competing to dress the #MAGA presidential consort.


Creative Melania

Sophie Theallet, on the other hand, who made clothes for Michelle Obama is refusing to have anything to do with Melania. Tom Ford, who made a dress for Michelle Obama to wear at Buckingham Palace, has also said he won't make clothes for Melania because his brand is "too expensive." 

Happy Melania

Some commentators have called Tom Ford an "appalling hypocrite."


Looking Sharp Melania

Here at the Compound we doubt that  Melania's too bothered by Sophie and Tom's embarrassingly futile protest against the will of we the people. 


Then There's This

After all, it's not like she'd want to look like Mitchell Michelle anyway.


Uplifting Melania

Well done, Melania, keep making America great again!

Keep up the good work,

Shotgun Wedding



Sometimes you have to tear yourself away from the endless text stream coming at you from Putin and the Kremlin and get on with normal life. For me, that meant celebrating a wedding.

It was cowboy themed, which meant that the Groom and his men all wore boots, starched and ironed jeans, black hats (off in the Sanctuary), turquoise shirts and black waistcoats; the waistcoats went with the hats. They also sported shotgun shell boutonierres, and I resisted the temptation to talk about "shotgun weddings," though the urge was strong.




The Bridesmaids came in with the Groomsmen and wore turquoise dresses to go with the Groomsmen's shirts, they looked good, and then in came the Bride. She was nervous, along with the Groom and rightly so, for it's no small thing to get married, but both did well and made their vows with confidence.

They got a clap at the Peace (Pax) after "You may kiss the Bride." I was moved, good work, kids. And may God bless you with many happy and joyous years as you go through life together, with all its twists and ambushlike turns. But here's the thing, readers, all two of you.




The Bride and Groom were binary. That's right, the Bride was a woman and the Groom was a man. Far out, eh? And before you blast me for being a white privilege racist, that's OK, in #TrumpsAmerica.

Your Friend,

Trump Tweets



What! War with Russia's a bad thing, to make Hillary and the spirit cooking Democrats look good after their disastrous wipeout in the election?

Hunh.

The Truth is Out There



Stargazing boffins have finally discovered the galaxy responsible for emitting mysterious deep space radio signals, called Fast Radio Bursts (FRB).

The dwarf galaxy, less than 1/1000 the size of our own, is known to astronomers as DNC000, or "Triple Zero" and is responsible for the mysterious FRBs. These require large amounts of energy to be visible, possibly as the result of a "Black Hole."


A Rainbow Colored FRB

"These radio flashes must have enormous amounts of energy to be visible from that distance," said one scientist. "It was like trying to find a needle in a terabyte haystack. It took a lot of algorithmic work to find it but we did and named the galaxy DNC000, or 'Triple Zero' for short. A black hole could have caused them."

Hardworking astronomers were staggered when the enigmatic bursts from DNC Triple Zero were deciphered.


DNC000

"It was astounding," said Schubi Bannerman at Cornell University, "When we analysed the frequency and repetition of the bursts from Triple Zero, a rainbow pattern became apparent. It was simple but rising in pitch, it seems to say, 'The Russians did it! The Russians did it!', we could hardly believe what we were hearing, it didn't make sense."

While experts are unsure if the bursts from DNC000 have any meaning, some speculate that it's an "alien distress signal."


Space Static

"There's a frenzied urgency to the bursts from Triple Zero," stated one expert, "This leads us to speculate that it's an alien distress signal. Perhaps their planet or galaxy is on the verge of destruction as it's being sucked into a black hole."

Random spaceborne static from a dying star system or the desperate attempt of an alien race to save itself from destruction?

Trump Trophy Room



I don't think commentary's needed except to say thank you, LL.

Happy Epiphany,

LSP

Epiphany



Listen up, heathen. Today's the great Feast of the Epiphany so here's a prayer.

O GOD, who by the leading of a star didst manifest thy 
only-begotten Son to the Gentiles; Mercifully grant that we, 
who know thee now by faith, may after this life have the 
fruition of thy glorious Godhead; through the same thy 
Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

And for all you trads out there who are shamelessly trying to unleash the power of the Western Rite, here it is in Latin:

DEUS, qui hodiérna die Unigénitum tuum géntibus stella duce revelásti: concéde propítius; ut, qui jam te ex fide cognóvimus, usque ad contemplándam spéciem tuæ celsitúdinis perducámur. Per eúndem Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia 
sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

God bless,

Gender Fluid



As we stand on the cusp of a new and adventurous year, we question the future, looking for definition, finality. Will the shittest candidate for President since Martin Bormann Hillary Clinton be locked up? 

Martin Bormann

For that matter, will Vladimir Putin be crowned Czar of Holy Mother Russia? Will Donald Trump make America great again? And, let's get down to it, what exactly is "gender fluid"?


What is it?

Hardworking staff at our Chicago Desk were quick to answer, "Gender fluid is ecological dishwasher detergent that you buy at Whole Foods." 


Whole Foods

Others wonder if it's something you change in your truck, every three thousand miles or so.

You, the reader, be the judge.

Chuck Schumer, Notorious Head Clown



Top Democrat Head Clown, Senator Chuck Shumer, appears to have threatened President Trump with the "intelligence community." Why? Because he's sticking to the desperate and flailing "Russians hacked the election" narrative. Here's the Clown in an interview with Rachel Maddow on MSNBC:


This Head Clown Doesn't Look Like Weiner. At All.

“Let me tell you: You take on the intelligence community — they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.”


Gurning Head Clown

To paraphrase ZeroHedge, not only are the progressive left Democrats aching to reignite the Cold War, they're also threatening our incoming President with the CIA. How very liberal.


Posturing Head Clown

Give it up, Schumer, you are nothing but a Head Clown and an elitocrat stooge for the progleft NWO.


Head Clown With Weiner

Any resemblance between Chuck "Head Clown" Schumer and Anthony Weiner is entirely coincidental.

Putin For Czar



A top Russian priest has said what everyone else is thinking, that Russian strongman, Vladimir Putin, should level up and become Czar.

"We are a country with monarchic mentality," said Russian Archpriest, Vsevolod Chaplin, "It doesn't matter that we don't now have formal monarchy, I think we can re-make it with Putin on top."


Some Kind of Pathetic Joke?

American liberals, furious after their candidate's lashing in the recent election, have been trying to pin the blame for Hillary's crushing defeat at the the foot of the Russians, claiming that Putin's superstate somehow hacked into their emails and made them public.


The Last Czar, RIP

Czar Putin laughingly made light of the Democratic allegations, dismissing them and the dying Obama regime's aggressive expulsion of 35 Russian diplomats as "kitchen sink" diplomacy. 


Putin With an Adorable Chick

Czar Putin enjoys massive popularity at home and abroad.
