WHEN in the course of human Events, it becomes necessary….
Regarding General Tranny: Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America 07/15/21
byVanderleunonJuly 16, 2021
“Despite massive Voter Fraud and Irregularities during the 2020 Presidential Election Scam, that we are now seeing play out in very big and important States, I never threatened, or spoke about, to anyone, a coup of our Government. So ridiculous! Sorry to inform you, but an Election is my form of “coup,” and if I was going to do a coup, one of the last people I would want to do it with is General Mark Milley. He got his job only because the world’s most overrated general, James Mattis, could not stand him, had no respect for him, and would not recommend him. To me, the fact that Mattis didn’t like him, just like Obama didn’t like him and actually fired Milley, was a good thing, not a bad thing. I often act counter to people’s advice who I don’t respect.
I saw at that moment he had no courage or skill
“In any event, I lost respect for Milley when we walked together to St. John’s Church (which was still smoldering from a Radical Left fire set the day before), side by side, a walk that has now been proven to be totally appropriate—and the following day Milley choked like a dog in front of the Fake News when they told him they thought he should not have been walking with the President, which turned out to be incorrect. He apologized profusely, making it a big story, instead of saying I am proud to walk with and protect the President of the United States. Had he said that it would have all been over, no big deal, but I saw at that moment he had no courage or skill, certainly not the type of person I would be talking “coup” with. I’m not into coups!
“In fact, around the same time Milley, in a conversation, was an advocate of changing all of the names of our Military Forts and Bases. I realized then, also, he was a much different person than I had hoped. I said to him, “spend more time thinking about China and Russia, and less time on being politically correct.” “But never during my Administration did Milley display what he is showing now. He was not “woke.” Actually, I don’t believe he ever was, but the way I look at Milley, he’s just a better politician than a general, trying to curry favor with the Radical Left and the absolute crazy people espousing a philosophy that will destroy our Country!”
FWIW, Milley is not a graduate of West Point but of the same “university” that produced Michelle Obama.

In the main, it’s a good thing to get a non west pointer in the top position. However, the state of our military at the very top is sad as hell.
Keep in mind, that if Gen Milley did say you’re a Brownshirt, and Trump is Hitler, then in that position he had the backing of the SecDef. No wait…he had every living past SecDef as well.
America is completely torn in two right now. Soon we may need to debouch for safer places, like South Africa, or Somalia.

Every week since Jan. 6th, I have sent at least one letter to at least one of my “representatives’ in government; Senators, Congressthings, state reps, state senators, etc. Here in PA, they are starting to feel the heat and is not going to stop until we get to the bottom of what happened on Nov. 3, 2020.
AZ has already uncovered massive fraud and a cover-up just in Maricopa Co. A member of the AZ senate has already called for “decertification” of the election, just based on what’s been found in Maricopa.
Vernon Jones (a former conservative Democrat turned MAGA / Trump supporter) has called for Governor Brian Kemp to resign for certifying a fraudulent election. Jones will be the GOP nominee for Gov of GA in 2022. Kemp’s political career is dead. Jones will run against the corrupt race-baiter, Stacey Abrams and I bet he wins, because she won’t be able to play the race card. Ha!
Here in PA we have finally gotten to the point of a full forensic audit, but only in three counties. When they uncork the cesspool that is Philadelphia they will likely be forced to do the entire state. That is what I have been demanding. I’ve also participated in rallies to IMPEACH GOVERNOR WOLF, mostly due to the covid response, but also election shenanigans. If we took a poll based on the number of drivers that honked their horns in support of impeachment, we win.
On Bannon’s War Room today, Bannon, a former Naval Officer, called for Milley’s court-martial.
This talk from Milley, Austin, Biden, etc. is all rubbish and reveals their true fear.
Traditional thinking Americans are still in the majority. Populism is still popular and getting more so. Gun control is failing everywhere and that debate is over.
So, go ahead and call me a Nazi. I’m soooo scared! F*cking C*nts.
And Casey, to your point of sarcasm re; relocating to SA, we might very well face that sort of thing if we don’t get a handle on this criminal government right quick, but me? I ain’t leaving. Not moving. Not backing up one f*cking inch.

That’s because you have yet to get your head around the notion of the criminals moving a family of illegals in next door. There may come a time real soon where each of us will need to make a life changing decision or two. You have to understand, the criminals are taking over this country 1 tiny baby step at a time. You’ve heard about the frog and pot of water thing. You are watching it right now, and you think someone will dial back the heat before it starts to boil. Casey’s talking about jumping out of the pot before it starts to boil. I brought this very point up several times over the past couple years and almost nobody can get their head around it. Nobody can grasp the reality of the approaching disaster. Parroting catch phrases (we’re in the majority) is the fake pacifier. You are alone.
Hey Ghostsniper-
Saw your comment over at the smartest-guy-on-the-internet’s blog. Well said. You gave him both barrels. Had no effect, though. The dude is determined to keep it up until nobody on the internet can stand him. It’s both fascinating and sad to see an otherwise interesting guy just go off the rails like that. Lies, Projection, and Doubling Down are his three hallmarks of the SJW. He’s going hell bent on all three, and doesn’t even see it.

It’s an odd situation. A military that hasn’t a clear success in a long time, and is worn out from so many operations of attrition. Where are they going to get the recruits? And if the Navy reports are to be believed, the Army/Marines/AF/SF aren’t far behind in deficiencies of readiness.
And it must be asked and answered in all seriousness, what are the Armed Forces of the USA even good for anymore? We have the fraudulent and his wokesters all working hard to bring oligarchical tyranny to the USA and import millions of compliant peons. We have no intention or willpower of using our Armed Forces anywhere outside our borders, and now Milley want’s to understand our own people. What for? Usually when a military guy wants to understanding something, that’s because they wan’t to understand how to efficiently conquer it.
We’re not going to lift a finger to help any country that falls into ruin or tyranny. It looks like to me that the world will fall into increasing chaotic messes, and the fedgov’s only priority is to prevent by force and coercion that uncontrolled messiness from initiating here. It’s an odd situation, when the people of a country are treated to be the enemy of the governing folks. “This thing will get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it!”

@jwm, after stopping in at his place off n on for 5 years, but never commenting, I was stymied by his fairly recent addiction to boomer slamming so I looked him up. At 52 years of age he is almost a boomer himself. Almost. So he’s very angry that he missed the “party” that he believes the boomers enjoyed. His father is a criminal that did a 12 year stretch in the pen and never gave him anything, so he’s bitter and vengeful. His mainstay in this life is, wait for it, comic books. You know, the stuff all of us did at one time in our lives but by the time we were about 12 we moved on to other, more mature things. Some never did I suppose.
There’s a fair amount of intelligence on that site but more than a proportioned amount of herding, trolling, idiocy, and just plain childishness. The sum of it is he, like most other bloggers, simply reposts stuff and encourages commentary. Nothing unusual or commanding about it. If you try to engage him in debate he flames on like Inferno the comic book boy. He uses CNN tactics when flaming, by way of editing your comment in such a way that makes you look bad and then he replies back to that edited comment so as to make you look even worse. If you point that tactic out he deletes your comment. Silly childish tantrums with very little useful content. I’ve taken him off my blogroll. My child rearin’ days are well behind me.

They will locate 10,000 college graduates with the highest college loan debt and make them offers they cannot refuse. “You give us 6 years of your life and we will knock off $10k per year of your college debt, plus we will give you the same salary and benefits of all enlisted soldiers.”
The army has turned into the boys couts, the boy scouts have turned into the gurl scouts and the gurl scouts have turned into militant liberated pre-wimminz and the US has turned into a shithole. Most of this happened in the past 20 years (since 911), so what do you think this place will look like in another 20 years? BTW, I won’t be here.
John A. FlemingJuly 16, 2021, 6:00 PM
That’s an interesting idea, sucking all the wokesters with Studies degrees into the armed forces and paying them squat. That’ll be pretty much the death of the forces right there as an effective defenders of our country. If we see that, then we know that Conquest’s 3rd Law applies to our forces and all is lost.
I think you may have the Boy Scouts situation in error. We’re still turning boys into young men by teaching knowledge, outdoor challenges and leadership. That there are girl Boy Scout troops, and Eagle Scouts will have to earn a “woke” Merit Badge now, doesn’t change anything. We’ll still make them hike 20 miles in a day, go on long high-adventure trips, and camp in the wind and rain, cold and heat. And be contributors to their local community.
My wife, and her brother, who are both exceedingly smart individuals, were conversing with one another, and wondering how the military brass got so woke, so fast. I told them my assessment.
West Point, and Annapolis, lie within the Beltway. So does Governor’s Island & New London, CT (USCG Academy). They have a history and an ethic of academic excellence, and with that, they identify with the Ivy League schools on the East Coast. I don’t know for sure, but I’ll bet that the ivy leaguers who smoke copious dope, skip class, and wear Che t-shirts more than likely sit around and pour liquid shit on the military on a daily basis. nevertheless, the service academies insist on having their shined noses straight up the asses of liberal academia.
As Rush used to say, they’d go to the same cocktail parties with the intelligentsia, and talk the same lines of shit.
Now, fast-forward through the long careers of the anointed military officers, and when they attend post-grad studies at Oxford, Yale, UPenn, and then they attend the Command & General Staff College(s), and the poison of woke politics is injected straight into their brains. They learn straight-away that generalship is political in character, if not in detail. The military is, after all, separate and subject to the political body.
I went to 2 big, hot turdly army schools with a hundred and a half or more recent west-point grads. I pretty much hated about 90% of them, and not via prejudice, but because they were up-the-ass pains, socially retarded, and self-preening cocks. Some I lied tremendously, and that because their intelligence quotient was extremely high, and they were not assholes. As a result, my respect for west pointers is qualified, let’s say.
I wrote a letter to an army captain, recently returned from Afghanistan, and who authored a memoir of his war experience. His book was fairly good. He’d been through the USMA, then took a Rhodes Scholar ride through Oxford, and got fucking woke. It seemed that his big brain major was in history, you see. So, he writes his unit of service’s history, and fucks it up. He mistakes the Finns for Norwegians. Now, a small error, but after hearing multiple chapters about how fukn smart he was, in history, I’d had enough. He wrote me back, duly chastised. I had been tactful, after all. I’d had the same job title and rank, in peacetime, as he’d had in the war. Anyway, smarmy self-referential bullshit is intolerable, especially if you’re going to make a future out of of fucking your countrymen over.
So, self-referential bullshit. When Milley says that he’s offended when people say this or that about the army, he is referencing the good character and history of the US Army. That bastard.
Here is where I say a bunch of really nasty swearing stuff fit for only the military ear. If Gen Milley wants to defend the military that he leads, from the absolute tippy top of the heap, maybe he’d better review whomst the commander in chief was at the time he was doing his shittalking. At the time in question, it was Trump. By narrow definition, the President of the United States cannot eventuate a coup d’état. A general can. A dictator can. An outside power can.
GEN Milley was more insubordinate than Gen. MacArthur ever dreamed of being. I’m picturing that scene where Chuck Connors has his brass buttons cut from his blouse, his sword broken, and he walks the walk of shame out the post main gate.

So many interesting things from Gerard and his merry band of commenters! Loved the article about Mr. Blackstock, a thoroughly delightful diversion from the politics-as-usual angst I typically find on the intertubes. Thanks for your eclecticism, Gerard. Back to business, however. I had a great deal of difficulty understanding Milley’s behavior and Trumps reaction until I read DJT’s short explanation and Casey’s insider’s view of the way things are and how they got there. Enlightening and disturbing. (But isn’t that the way with most things? It takes a sausage maker to know how the sausage is made, and once known, that’s the end of sausage enjoyment! Kind of like my own experience during my forty-two year sojourn through the sausage factory known as the legal profession. ) Finally, about VD. I vacillate between checking his site and striking it from my reading list. I mostly read the comments to get a radar fix on the current location of that part of our society which finds him noteworthy. His current morbid fixation with “Boomers” is quite off-putting, but is clearly the pathological result of his personal experience. Thanks for the curbside Freudian analysis, Ghostniper; I generally reject anything Freud had to say, but like the blind pig finding a truffle, it appears Freud was talking specifically about VD all the while! A tip o’ the cap to you, Ghostie, for your most excellent insight. And before I forget, Kevin, I also send near-daily emails to my state Senator and Representative, urging them to forge ahead with the examination of ballots in Pennsylvania. Fortunately, I live in a rural area of the Commonwealth (hence, “Paradise”), and my representatives are quite conservative. Although probably futile, this little gesture makes me feel better. So, thanks again all, and cheerio!

What is your blog, Ghost?
Vox did do good stuff, long ago. He gave me the same treatment he gave you so don’t feel bad. I eventually found that he plagiarized most of his work and basically parroted the original thinkers.
For all his faults, though… I think he may be good for the kids. The cellar dwelling soyboys are not born, they are made. Our faggotified and pussified society wants nothing to do with its sons, and the boys have nothing to do except hide in the cellar, play video games… and read comic books. If they go out they will have vibrant morons accusing them of racism, lunatic women that want to castrate them, and lunatic men that want to sodomize them.
Vox plays well to that demographic and may be a bridge that young men need in order to grow into better blogs and more objective authors like our esteemed blog host here. At least, I would hope so. Regardless, Vox has been going downhill for years. I don’t take him seriously.
On the day that America goes to war and all we have to send is an army of women, perverts, and transsexuals’…….there will be nothing left of America worth dying for.

@Glen, I don’t do blogs well. I have 2, architecture, and woodworking, but have made no entries since 2010. I just don’t have long term interest in it.
I’ll continue to drop by VD’s place now and then to see if things have improved or if he has anything interesting to say. I agree, the literary stuff he is involved with can potentially have good benefit for young people and others.
Man, I’ve seen some disgusting things in my life, but that pic of the Bernie voters was one of the most projectile-vomit and rage-inducing things ever to assault my eyes.
Holy crap, just LOOK at them- they illustrate just about every single despicable trait that has ruined our society and country- obese, lazy, low-I.Q., greedy, government-dependent, entitled, unholy, idiot-worshiping, misinformed subhuman dregs whose only “contributions” to the world are flatulence, porcine grunting, and undeserved absorption of oxygen.
What makes it even worse is that they BREED and VOTE.
I can’t help but think of the old saying “Its time to lock the gate and thin the herd.”
Looks like today’s a good day to head back to the outdoor range and break in my new binary trigger.

ghostsniper – Regarding the owner of the Highest IQ in Italy, if you’ve watched him over the years you’ll have noticed that he cycles through hate objects. Now it’s Boomers, but a few years ago it was Ethan van Sciver, the cartoonist, then before that some sci-fi writer named Scalzi, and somewhere in there he got a hate on for Jordan Peterson, to the point of actually writing an entire book attacking him.
It’s interesting to see all the parallels between him and L. Ron Hubbard: both had a background writing science fiction, both were in the habit of telling self-aggrandizing tales of their own past exploits that can’t be verified (VD claims to be a native Indian), both invented a fakey new science that purports to explain EVERYTHING about human motivation, and both ended up abandoning the U.S. to live abroad. The cult atmosphere at his site is off-putting, but I do keep checking in because there are occasional decent comment threads there.

My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it

Most of this happened in the past 20 years (since 911), so what do you think this place will look like in another 20 years? BTW, I won’t be here.
That’s an interesting idea, sucking all the wokesters with Studies degrees into the armed forces and paying them squat. That’ll be pretty much the death of the forces right there as an effective defenders of our country. If we see that, then we know that Conquest’s 3rd Law applies to our forces and all is lost.
I think you may have the Boy Scouts situation in error. We’re still turning boys into young men by teaching knowledge, outdoor challenges and leadership. That there are girl Boy Scout troops, and Eagle Scouts will have to earn a “woke” Merit Badge now, doesn’t change anything. We’ll still make them hike 20 miles in a day, go on long high-adventure trips, and camp in the wind and rain, cold and heat. And be contributors to their local community.

My wife, and her brother, who are both exceedingly smart individuals, were conversing with one another, and wondering how the military brass got so woke, so fast. I told them my assessment.
West Point, and Annapolis, lie within the Beltway. So does Governor’s Island & New London, CT (USCG Academy). They have a history and an ethic of academic excellence, and with that, they identify with the Ivy League schools on the East Coast. I don’t know for sure, but I’ll bet that the ivy leaguers who smoke copious dope, skip class, and wear Che t-shirts more than likely sit around and pour liquid shit on the military on a daily basis. nevertheless, the service academies insist on having their shined noses straight up the asses of liberal academia.
As Rush used to say, they’d go to the same cocktail parties with the intelligentsia, and talk the same lines of shit.
Now, fast-forward through the long careers of the anointed military officers, and when they attend post-grad studies at Oxford, Yale, UPenn, and then they attend the Command & General Staff College(s), and the poison of woke politics is injected straight into their brains. They learn straight-away that generalship is political in character, if not in detail. The military is, after all, separate and subject to the political body.
I went to 2 big, hot turdly army schools with a hundred and a half or more recent west-point grads. I pretty much hated about 90% of them, and not via prejudice, but because they were up-the-ass pains, socially retarded, and self-preening cocks. Some I lied tremendously, and that because their intelligence quotient was extremely high, and they were not assholes. As a result, my respect for west pointers is qualified, let’s say.
I wrote a letter to an army captain, recently returned from Afghanistan, and who authored a memoir of his war experience. His book was fairly good. He’d been through the USMA, then took a Rhodes Scholar ride through Oxford, and got fucking woke. It seemed that his big brain major was in history, you see. So, he writes his unit of service’s history, and fucks it up. He mistakes the Finns for Norwegians. Now, a small error, but after hearing multiple chapters about how fukn smart he was, in history, I’d had enough. He wrote me back, duly chastised. I had been tactful, after all. I’d had the same job title and rank, in peacetime, as he’d had in the war. Anyway, smarmy self-referential bullshit is intolerable, especially if you’re going to make a future out of of fucking your countrymen over.
So, self-referential bullshit. When Milley says that he’s offended when people say this or that about the army, he is referencing the good character and history of the US Army. That bastard.
Here is where I say a bunch of really nasty swearing stuff fit for only the military ear. If Gen Milley wants to defend the military that he leads, from the absolute tippy top of the heap, maybe he’d better review whomst the commander in chief was at the time he was doing his shittalking. At the time in question, it was Trump. By narrow definition, the President of the United States cannot eventuate a coup d’état. A general can. A dictator can. An outside power can.
GEN Milley was more insubordinate than Gen. MacArthur ever dreamed of being. I’m picturing that scene where Chuck Connors has his brass buttons cut from his blouse, his sword broken, and he walks the walk of shame out the post main gate.
So many interesting things from Gerard and his merry band of commenters! Loved the article about Mr. Blackstock, a thoroughly delightful diversion from the politics-as-usual angst I typically find on the intertubes. Thanks for your eclecticism, Gerard. Back to business, however. I had a great deal of difficulty understanding Milley’s behavior and Trumps reaction until I read DJT’s short explanation and Casey’s insider’s view of the way things are and how they got there. Enlightening and disturbing. (But isn’t that the way with most things? It takes a sausage maker to know how the sausage is made, and once known, that’s the end of sausage enjoyment! Kind of like my own experience during my forty-two year sojourn through the sausage factory known as the legal profession. ) Finally, about VD. I vacillate between checking his site and striking it from my reading list. I mostly read the comments to get a radar fix on the current location of that part of our society which finds him noteworthy. His current morbid fixation with “Boomers” is quite off-putting, but is clearly the pathological result of his personal experience. Thanks for the curbside Freudian analysis, Ghostniper; I generally reject anything Freud had to say, but like the blind pig finding a truffle, it appears Freud was talking specifically about VD all the while! A tip o’ the cap to you, Ghostie, for your most excellent insight. And before I forget, Kevin, I also send near-daily emails to my state Senator and Representative, urging them to forge ahead with the examination of ballots in Pennsylvania. Fortunately, I live in a rural area of the Commonwealth (hence, “Paradise”), and my representatives are quite conservative. Although probably futile, this little gesture makes me feel better. So, thanks again all, and cheerio!
Airborne, Ranger and the coveted CIB. How do you go from that to actually saying out loud that you simply want to understand white rage? How does he look in the mirror to see what he has become?
What is your blog, Ghost?
Vox did do good stuff, long ago. He gave me the same treatment he gave you so don’t feel bad. I eventually found that he plagiarized most of his work and basically parroted the original thinkers.
For all his faults, though… I think he may be good for the kids. The cellar dwelling soyboys are not born, they are made. Our faggotified and pussified society wants nothing to do with its sons, and the boys have nothing to do except hide in the cellar, play video games… and read comic books. If they go out they will have vibrant morons accusing them of racism, lunatic women that want to castrate them, and lunatic men that want to sodomize them.
Vox plays well to that demographic and may be a bridge that young men need in order to grow into better blogs and more objective authors like our esteemed blog host here. At least, I would hope so. Regardless, Vox has been going downhill for years. I don’t take him seriously.
On the day that America goes to war and all we have to send is an army of women, perverts, and transsexuals’…….there will be nothing left of America worth dying for.
@Glen, I don’t do blogs well. I have 2, architecture, and woodworking, but have made no entries since 2010. I just don’t have long term interest in it.
I’ll continue to drop by VD’s place now and then to see if things have improved or if he has anything interesting to say. I agree, the literary stuff he is involved with can potentially have good benefit for young people and others.

Man, I’ve seen some disgusting things in my life, but that pic of the Bernie voters was one of the most projectile-vomit and rage-inducing things ever to assault my eyes.
Holy crap, just LOOK at them- they illustrate just about every single despicable trait that has ruined our society and country- obese, lazy, low-I.Q., greedy, government-dependent, entitled, unholy, idiot-worshiping, misinformed subhuman dregs whose only “contributions” to the world are flatulence, porcine grunting, and undeserved absorption of oxygen.
What makes it even worse is that they BREED and VOTE.
I can’t help but think of the old saying “Its time to lock the gate and thin the herd.”
Looks like today’s a good day to head back to the outdoor range and break in my new binary trigger.
ghostsniper – Regarding the owner of the Highest IQ in Italy, if you’ve watched him over the years you’ll have noticed that he cycles through hate objects. Now it’s Boomers, but a few years ago it was Ethan van Sciver, the cartoonist, then before that some sci-fi writer named Scalzi, and somewhere in there he got a hate on for Jordan Peterson, to the point of actually writing an entire book attacking him.
It’s interesting to see all the parallels between him and L. Ron Hubbard: both had a background writing science fiction, both were in the habit of telling self-aggrandizing tales of their own past exploits that can’t be verified (VD claims to be a native Indian), both invented a fakey new science that purports to explain EVERYTHING about human motivation, and both ended up abandoning the U.S. to live abroad. The cult atmosphere at his site is off-putting, but I do keep checking in because there are occasional decent comment threads there.
