Happy Monday, boys.

Normally that is a complete oxymoron. But today is the very last Monday of 2019, and tomorrow is New Year’s Eve.

So let’s get this party started by looking at the works of highly accomplished men. All of these clips come from links assembled by our friend The Male Brain, who always contributes a lot of great stuff to this blog. So doff your caps and raise your glasses, and let’s have a toast to him for all of his excellent contributions.

Let’s start with legendary Russian film director Andrei Tarkovsky, who died on Dec. 29:

Here is some stuff from his magnum opus, the film Solaris:

Here are a few about his film, Stalker, which apparently cost him his sanity and ended up killing him:

And we continue with clips of screen legend James Caan – who is one of Hollywood’s very, very few open conservatives, Trump supporters, and genuine badasses, and whose birthday is on Dec. 30:

DO NOT mess with His Most Illustrious, August, Noble, Benevolent, and Legendary Celestial Majesty, the God-Emperor of Mankind, Donaldus Triumphus Magnus Astra, the First of His Name – because he will roast you in front of tens of thousands of people:

***

You might be cool, but you’ll NEVER be as cool as Boris the Sheepadoodle reciting Homer’s Iliad, from memory, with dramatic flair, in ancient Greek:

This is one aspect of their personalities that the God-Emperor and Boris the Sheepadoodle have in common: most people seriously underestimate their extraordinary intelligence.

This underestimation of us supposedly low-browed knuckle-dragging reprobrates of the Right, by the supposedly intelligent and educated liberal elite, is not new. Clark Clifford, a true darling of the Washington elite in the 1980s, who had worked in the Carter (Mal)Administration, once called Ronaldus Magnus, the greatest President of the 20th Century, an “amiable dunce”.

This was the same Ronald Reagan who could recite entire passages of Whittaker Chambers’s Witness and Holy Scripture from memory. The same Ronald Reagan who almost single-handedly, and certainly singlemindedly, conceived, planned, and executed a 40-year war to bring down the Soviet Union. And the same Ronald Reagan who did more to advance the cause of world peace than any other statesman of his time.

It is a very good thing to be underestimated by your enemies. Liberals think that they are smart, educated, and brilliant. They could not possibly be more wrong – as they have repeatedly proven over the past 4 years, and as I believe they will prove yet again in 2020.

The based Australians, of all people, have a rather good explanation for why Boris the Sheepadoodle won such a massive victory in the recent election:

Here is a rather good explanation of when, where, and why woke advertising doesn’t work – and, unfortunately, why it actually does work in some cases:

It would appear that Rotten Tomatoes is definitely dicking around with the viewer reviews for STAR WARS: The Fall of Skywalker:

It is probably safe to conclude at this point that Rotten Tomatoes is bought and paid for, and can no longer be trusted – if it ever could – as any sort of independent review-hosting site.

Interestingly, Metacritic offers a MUCH better breakdown of user sentiment on this shit-sandwich of a film, which reflects what I am seeing personally online. Pretty much as many people liked it as hated it. And if you go take a look at the score for The Last Jedi, the audience reaction to it is much more visceral; they loathed that abomination, and rightly so.

Remember back when STAR WARS was just pure awesomesauce?

That was ever so long ago…

Our good friend The Male Brain sent over an interesting link recently about how Hizzoner Da Mayuh, and now Presidential no-hoper, (((Michael Bloomberg))), is investing millions of his own money into this top-secret tech firm that he reckons will help him win the Daemoncrat nomination. It’s worth a good long read because it shows you just how dangerous it is to trust Big Tech these days:

Presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg is pouring tens of millions of dollars from his vast personal fortune into his campaign. A piece of it is going to an unknown digital business called Hawkfish — which Bloomberg himself founded during the spring.

Hawkfish will be the “primary digital agency and technology services provider for the campaign,” Julie Wood, a Bloomberg campaign spokeswoman, told CNBC. She added that the firm “is now providing digital ad services, including content creation, ad placement and analytics” for their campaign. It will also help Democratic races across the country in future election cycles, she said.

The company’s existence has not been previously reported. Bloomberg’s campaign disclosed details about the company after CNBC pressed the campaign about its recent hiring spree.

Bloomberg, a billionaire former three-term mayor of New York, started building the company early in 2019, before he decided to seek the Democratic presidential nomination, the campaign aide said. While the campaign declined to say how much Bloomberg has invested in the company, Bloomberg has said he will spend over $100 million on anti-Trump digital ads. His campaign has already spent at least $13 million on Facebook and Google spots.

Bloomberg, who was dedicated to denying President Donald Trump a second term before he entered the Democratic race, built Hawkfish with the intention of overpowering the formidable data operation assembled by the Republican National Committee and Trump’s cash-flush campaign.

Hawkfish appears to have been assembled in secret. It has no public website. A search of elections databases turned up no financial records connected to work for other Democratic causes.

No other candidate in the 2020 race is known to have created a vendor designed to aide their bid.

Before any liberaltards go drawing inaccurate comparisons with the God-Emperor’s use of data-mining firm Cambridge Analytica during the 2016 EPIC VICTORY, let’s point out one very important difference.

The God-Emperor did not create that firm. He did not invest millions of his own money into them. He simply hired them to perform a service. Which they did, and which helped him out considerably in spite of the HUGE headwinds that he faced from relentless and poisonous media attacks, and totally biased Google algorithm tweaks.

What Michael Bloomberg is attempting to do amounts to dark money in politics. It’s just that simple. What the God-Emperor did was nothing more than paying for a service, and his use of that service was protected by client confidentiality agreements that were breached by a whistleblower who wanted to make him look bad.

Liberals love to yell and scream about the influence of money in politics. But they routinely forget that The Bitch spent HALF A BILLION DOLLARS in her second failed attempt at the Cherry Blossom Throne, and the God-Emperor spent less than half that much. In fact, the total amount spent by the Clinton campaign and all of the various PACs amounts to very nearly $1.2 BILLION. The God-Emperor spent just slightly more than half that amount, and about 80% of what he raised was from individual donors, not super PACs.

As always, progressives always lie and always project.

Another longtime friend of the blog, the Gentleman Adventurer, put up a grim warning yesterday about the extreme damage that feminism has done to supposedly “strong beautiful free independent” women:

Kate is the original pump and dump. Sex defined who she was so sex was all that she had. Slept with over 100 men? That’s a disturbing notch count for a guy, but for a woman it is simply devastating. How devastating? Well, search for photos of her now and have a look at the results.

On top of this she has become infamous for her late night Instagram meltdowns where her attention seeking gives new meaning to what it means to self destruct.

[…]

She changed her name to Tziporah Malkah after converting to Judaism. And today after squandering millions of dollars she sits alone in a tiny apartment in Kings Cross in Sydney where the local police visit her on a regular basis due to complaints from her neighbors.

[…]

Obviously she is a broken woman. But where are the feminists now? For some strange reason the usual suspects in the misandrist feminist camp are as silent as Kate Fischer’s phone. The reason for that is because Kate is an embarrassment to them. The trajectory of her life is in stark contrast to the fairy tales that feminists spin as they sell to impressionable young women the lie that they need a man like a fish needs a bicycle.

The dreaded wall crashed upon her like a tonne of bricks. But no woman in her glory years ever assumes that the same fate will happen to her. Why, she will always be the flavor of the month; she will always be sought after for her style and beauty; she will always have those alpha beaus knocking down her door.

If you look at pictures of Kate Fischer from her heyday versus today, as Adam advises you to do, the difference is absolutely horrifying.

It really makes you wonder what would happen if feminists were held responsible for the harm that they have done over the decades. They would likely be lined up against a wall and shot – because their ideology is directly responsible for absolutely destroying the lives of MILLIONS of men and women.

But, the ugly fat disgusting lesbians among them would have to wait their turn – because first to the wall would be the legions of male enablers who allowed feminism to become the cancer that it is today.

Furthermore – if you are a man and you have daughters, you are duty-bound to prevent what happened to Kate Fischer from happening to your little girl.

Take it from a man who watched his own sister go down the feminist road, and who is still to some extent beholden to that horrible ideology. You will not like the results of letting your beloved little girl become a feminist.

Linkage is good for you:

• Ever wondered how to talk a girl out of an abortion, or to demonstrate to her that abortion is totally morally wrong? A charismatic and brilliant Russian Orthodox priest lays it all out for you;
• Vegans not only don’t know how to eat good food, they don’t know how to cook it either;
• This one’s from The Male Brain and expands a bit further on that teacher who boinked five of her male students in an exclusive boys’ school in Sefrica;
• Have you ever noticed how the people who live in polyamourous relationships are all, without exception, extremely ugly, and that the, uh, “men” in those relationships are utterly contemptible?
• I referenced a Kazakhstani bodybuilder last week who went and married his own sex doll – turns out, she’s kind of a bitch (thanks again to TMB for the link);

The F-15 Eagle is still perhaps the baddest plane around – and will be for quite some time yet, the Joint Strike Flying Piano’s cack-handed and totally unreliable attempts to unseat it notwithstanding:

The Neo-Tsar can’t resist rubbing the Euzis’ noses in the mess that they’ve created for themselves with their useless sanctions:

Note that the Neo-Tsar is representing the interests of his country, and he is right to do so, when he calls the sanctions against Russia highly counterproductive to the West. And that is true. Putting sanctions on Russia is stupid. The Russians aren’t the enemy. They haven’t been the West’s true enemy for nearly 30 years. It is dumb and highly short-sighted to put sanctions on the Russian people, given the sheer power and dynamism of the Russian market.

I was at an agricultural expo in Moscow last October, because girlfriend and reasons, at the massive ВДНХ expo centre. It was quite an experience. I can assure you that the Russians categorically do not need Western help with their agriculture – they have it covered. In fact, they have a decent amount of spare capacity and food that they could easily sell to the rest of the world – if only they were allowed to.

But the Neo-Tsar is wrong to criticise America for placing sanctions on China.

The Chinese are a very real existential threat to American civilisation and supremacy. And they blatantly manipulate and constrict trade so that the terms of trading with China are purely one-way – for them. They have learned the lessons of mercantilism and debt-traps extremely well from the former colonial powers, and are putting those lessons to very good use throughout the Dirt World.

The West, or at least America, is finally awake and aware of that threat, and is responding to it.

Russia doesn’t always play fair on the international stage. But they do play a hell of a lot fairer than the Chinese do. The Russians remain fundamentally Western-oriented and Christian in character. The Chinese are none of those things.

The God-Emperor is right to pursue a strategy of aggressive sanctions to force the Chinese to bend to his will. The Neo-Tsar is right to pursue a strategy of aggressive trade deals with Western powers that want his country’s oil and gas. But both powers would benefit far more from dealing with each other as “friendly rivals” rather than as mutual antagonists.

Related – the Neo-Tsar also wasn’t much of a fan of Stalin either:

If you’ve never watched Highlander, then you have missed out on some good clean stupid fun. (Well, OK, maybe not clean – there is the usual required gratuitous sex scene in the middle somewhere, as it was an 80s adult film.)

But it turns out that the Highlander saga was a lot weirder than anyone realised:

***

Russell Crowe gets a lot of stick for being fat and crazy – at least, if you’re a journalist and in his way. But he can be a surprisingly decent bloke when he wants to be:

***

Sir Christopher Lee was a LEGEND:

Special Forces operative. Screen titan. Loving husband and father, married to the same woman for 54 years. Absolute gentleman. Direct descendant of Charlemagne himself.

There is simply no way to do the man’s life justice. We lost a true titan when he died in 2015.

This is what happens when you piss off the Dark Lord of the Sith:

How bad was The Fall of Skywalker?

Pretty f***ing bad:

It would appear that some mad fools intrepid souls are going to give that hoary old chestnut another go – by putting on a big-screen production of the greatest science fiction novel of all time:

I have seen the original 1984 David Lynch film starring Kyle Maclachlan and – believe it or not – Sting. It actually wasn’t that bad, certainly not as bad as a lot of its detractors would have you believe. But it isn’t a great movie – in large measure because it takes huge liberties with the source material.

Let’s wait and see whether this new version is any good. Given how utterly converged Hollyweird is these days, I suspect that it’s going to be terrible, but we’ll find out eventually. The cast, at least, sounds great so far. I mean, Stellan Skarsgard as Baron Vladimir Harkonnen? Oh HELL yes!!!

Anyone here remember what it was like to play Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3?

Your history lessons of the week:

One key feature of the Israeli approach to fighting that you will see repeated over and over again in the K&G videos about the early conflicts between the Jewish state and its neighbours, is the use of very canny and skillful manoeuvre warfare. The Haganah and later the IDF knew damned well that they simply could not afford long drawn-out slogging matches against numerically and, at least at first, technologically superior opponents.

So they adapted, and adopted German Wehrmacht “movement-warfare” tactics and methods instead.

That was back in the glory days of the IDF. And it was ever so long ago.

These days it would appear that a much more conservative, risk-managed style of warfare that emphasises air power and which neglects the highly asymmetrical nature of war between the vastly superior Israeli forces and the qualitatively inferior Palestinian and Hezbollah forces, has taken over the IDF’s military planners and thinkers.

You still see flashes of the old brilliance, the non-linear thinking, the ingenious understanding of the enemy, in the current crop of military commanders. They do exist and, especially in the line troops and officers below the rank of about Captain or at the absolute most Major, the grunts “grok” the need for fast-adapting non-linear tactics that focus on smashing through enemy weaknesses and then rolling them up from the rear.

But it’s not nearly as common as it was back in the days of Moshe Dayan and Ariel Sharon. And I think even the most hardcore nationalist Israelis will admit this.

Comedy hour:

Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister were not comedy shows. They were documentaries disguised as comedy shows. They were 100% accurate piss-takes of the Deep State that exists in every major Western nation.

And they were absolutely brilliant.

Now we come to an Italian making fun of… well, pretty much everyone:

Watch the whole thing. It’s bloody hilarious.

Here’s another one:

And one for those of you who have had the, um, er, joy of hosting your in-laws for Christmas:

Make of this next one what you will – and if you listen to it at work, USE HEADPHONES:

Pics, guns, girls:

Your headlines of the week indicate that Floriduh Man has awoken from his winter solistice, at least temporarily, and is on a rampage:

Your overreaction of the week:

Some chicks go crazy when you don’t celebrate the little things with them – and I do mean little things, like when they make so much as a funny face that you fail to notice.

True story, bro.

Your “Life Imitates Art” moment of the week:

Your “Make It Rain!” moment of the week:

Your “Schadenboner” of the week:

Your “This is Why God Gave Us Shotguns” moment of the week:

Your “Correlation != Causation” moment of the week:

I don’t get this whole Baby Yoda meme. Has anybody actually watched The Mandalorian? (Which is to say, were any of you actually dumb enough to pay for a DevilMouse+ subscription?)

If so, would you mind explaining the meme down below?

Your dog of the week is the coonhound:

Gym idiots of the week thanks to the Trap Lord – the very last for 2019:

We all need a gym beast after that to get past the stupidity, and they don’t come much more beastly than Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson:

Time for the regular Buakaw Beatdown of the Week:

If you watch Buakaw’s fights regularly, you’ll see him flash this little grin, which often stays on his face.

Don’t let that fool you. Yes, he’s enjoying himself, but there’s more to it. That’s the smile of the Grim Reaper contemplating his next victim. It’s the kind of grin that says, “Good shot – now watch as I break your will to live with just my hands and legs”.

The Chinaman in that fight – yes, I know that’s a highly offensive term, get over it – does a great job and shows tremendous heart. But he’s basically there to act as a heavy bag with legs.

Anyone up for some old-school rock ‘n’ roll?

Boomers may, overall as a generation – there are a great many honourable and decent exceptions to this rule, and some of them read this blog – have been a plague upon the Earth. But you have to admit, their music kicked ass.

#MetalInvasion

In case anyone is wondering – no, I do NOT like “gimmicky” metal bands like NANOWAR OF STEEL, VAN CANTO, or BLOODYWOOD. I find them ridiculous.

I just throw them in from time to time for the sake of variety.

So let’s get back to normal with straight-up balls-to-the-wall melt-your-face-off proper METAL:

And finally, your starting Instathot for this very last week of the year is a redheaded Ukrainian cam-girl (yes, really) who goes by the handle “YourWhiteTulip”. (Don’t do a Google search for this woman with SafeSearch OFF.)

I have no idea who she is – as in, I don’t even know what her real name is, other than apparently “Brenda”, which is decidedly not a Ukrainian name. But it is quite safe to conclude that this chick is an OFF-THE-SCALE thot.

Seriously, if you could create something like a Geiger counter to measure thot levels, then she’d be so radioactive that the needle on the thing would smash straight out of the box like in those old cartoons. (Growing up in the early 90s… good times, man, good times.)

Still and all, she did meet with our resident Badger’s approval, because as Any Fule Kno, Redhead + EPIC BOOBS = AWESOMESAUCE.

All right, that’s all for this very last Monday of 2019. Gear up for the New Year festivities, boys, because we’ve got plenty of crushing to do in 2020.
