Mondays SUCK.

Fortunately, the Great Mondaydact Browser Crash is here again, right on schedule, to help you get over that shit and get right back to CRUSHING!!!

And we’ll start off this week with a movie that was highly underrated when it was released, and 20 years later is basically a cult classic. In fact, in many ways it’s actually better than the original films and TV shows that inspired it, namely, Star Trek:

The reason why Galaxy Quest is so good, especially these days, is because unlike the Trek films and TV shows since 1999, this film is extremely well-written, really well-cast, has a very tight plot, and shows flawed human beings going through realistic and interesting character arcs.

But more than anything else, Galaxy Quest treated the fans with deep respect.

It made fun of the fans, certainly – but it was done gently, even lovingly, and the end of the film really elevated the fans by making them a core part of the story and celebrated them.

Jar Jar Abrams and his crew of dimwits could learn a thing or ten from this film.

Also – Alan Rickman had truly staggering amounts of talent, and he is very dearly missed. Only he could possibly have portrayed characters as wacky and wonderful and diverse as the Sheriff of Nottingham, Severus Snape, and Dr. Lazarus.

It is not often that we see any kind of self-awareness or humility from the lying whorenalists of the mainstream (((media))), but on occasion, some of them pull head out of arse long enough to blink, mole-like, at the sunlight and see the world as it truly is.

Just such a thing happened recently with Spiked TV, who released a really rather good 30-minute documentary that is quite respectful of both the Brexit and Trump phenomena, and takes the time to explain why the people who voted for these “populist” changes were simply trying to make their voices heard and preserve their way of life:

The people who elected His Most Illustrious, Noble, August, Benevolent, and Legendary Celestial Majesty, the God-Emperor of Mankind, Donaldus Triumphus Magnus Astra, the First of His Name, were not racists or bigots or anything negative at all. They were, and remain, a diverse, decent, upstanding, good-hearted, generous, welcoming bunch of people, most of whom are far better people than me.

The fact that the (((media))) cannot see this, says more about how bigoted and pathetic they are, than it does about the people who voted in a way that the elites did not expect.

This clip of Virginia State Representative (and former Special Forces Weapons Sergeant) Nicholas J. Freitas tearing the Daemoncrats a gigantic new asshole has gone viral, and with good reason:

What can I say other than… ooh-rah, Sarge.

Apparently the Daemoncrats were so triggered that they had to walk out to catch their breaths and deal with their hurt FEEEEEWWWINGS.

What a bunch of pussies. And not the good kind, either, the ones that we manly men actually enjoy fooling around with.

It sort of makes you wonder how they are going to react when Virginians actually rise up in armed insurrection against them. That will be a hoot and a half to watch.

I’m not saying it will happen this go-around, because if there is one thing that you can count on more thoroughly than Daemoncrats being evil, it is that the supposed sons and daughters of “liberty” will allow their rights to be taken from them without much by way of protest, quite happily.

But everything has its limits, and this is no exception.

#BasedTucker is based:

Mark Dice can’t stop laughing at the Daemoncrats and the Clown News Network, who both keep plumbing new depths of stupidity:

PJW has some very choice words for the plague of simps out there:

Our Blue Collar friends expose the sheer hypocrisy of Western liberal feminists for saying that the West is ruled by a patriarchy, and that is a Badness Thing – but the moment they go over to Iran, a country actually ruled by a patriarchal theocracy, they have no problem whatsoever with being oppressed:

Expecting intellectual coherence and consistency from feminists is, of course, a fool’s game. If the Western nations had any sense whatsoever, though, they would stop trying to fight the virtues of Christian patriarchy and start holding feminists accountable for their stupidities.

Not gonna happen anytime soon. Not without severe and incredibly painful structural changes.

Also – it turns out that YouTube demonetised their channel:

***

The new trailers for DOOM Eternal are out, and the game looks absolutely incredible:

I really hope it causes even more ass-pain to the SJW set than its predecessor did.

***

El Razorfist addresses the new woke Star Trek show, and his verdict is extremely unkind:

As Razorman points out, Sir Patrick Stewart is a legendary actor but his politics are “dyed-in-the-dogshit Lefty”. He is an unreconstructed socialist in dire need of getting slapped upside the head with a cluebat, a few hundred times.

***

The Drinker watches the latest episode of Doctor Woke, so that you (and I) don’t have to:

I’ve never bothered or cared about Doctor Who, but I’ve seen plenty of nerdrage from its fans about the woke direction that it has gone in for the past season. I’m not worried, though. Doctor Who will get binned and the Bolshevik Broadcasting Corporation will soon find itself without its license fee, so they’ll have to figure out how to raise money the old-fashioned way.

We win in the end.

Multiple channels and sources have reviewed the leaked Colin Trevorrow script for what would have been STAR WARS Episode IX: Duel of the Fates, and everything that we have seen so far indicates that his vision of the final installment of the Skywalker Saga would have been AMAZING:

Instead, we got the steaming dog-turd shat out by Jar-Jar Abrams, which tried too hard to please everyone, and ended up pleasing pretty much no one.

Yeah, great work there, Kathleen and the Devil Mouse. You really done f***ed up. Again.

Gary from Nerdrotic addresses the continuing and dreadful fallout from the AWFUL final season of Game of Groans:

Star Trek. STAR WARS. Game of Thrones. Doctor Who. 007. Marvel and DC Comics. The list of intellectual properties that have gone down the shitter due to wokeness and Current Year political scolding is getting longer by the day.

Loads and loads of stuff from our friend The Male Brain this week. We’ll start off with a video from St. Efan about the upcoming “22 Conference”:

And here’s another video from him, made by another friend of ours, 1st Sgt. Terrence Popp (Army, Ret), asking women a very important question:

***

On the subject of the 22 Convention – apparently Paul Ramsey isn’t too impressed by the whole idea:

***

Here’s a good video taking apart that bunk about how “97% of climate scientists agree” that humans are causing the world’s climate to go to pot:

And it has Beethoven’s music in the soundtrack, too!

***

Dan Hannan is back, and looking really rather dapper and distinguished:

Now, he is a conservative, which means that he has a rather solid track record of failing miserably at conserving much of anything.

But, he is going to be out of a job soon once Britain leaves the EU – and he himself is quite happy about that fact.

And he does have a really remarkable speaking voice.

***

The Iron Lady of Britain was well-named indeed:

It really says something about what a transformativel leader she was, that Britain went from being one of the three poorest members of the EU, to one of the three richest, in the space of one single generation.

A Swedish girl schools St. Gretard of the Cloonies (climate loonies) about the true nature of the non-existent “climate crisis”:

One of the more interesting conservative young women on YouTube has some wonderful news for everyone:

I’ve been watching BitBotB’s channel (what a dreadful acronym) for a long time, and I specifically remember the comment that someone left behind on one of her videos, when she mentioned that she was engaged to a young Marine, that there would soon need to be a Beast in the Belly of the Blonde. Evidently, Blonde remembered that comment quite well, because here we are a couple of years later and she’s gone and used those exact words.

And speaking of words – there are none sufficient to express the delight that I feel, and I am sure that all of you feel, at the fact that a lovely, intelligent, and talented young woman has found Jesus, gotten married, and is now expecting a child. This is truly wonderful news. Motherhood is a blessing upon any woman – yes, any woman, it doesn’t take much to figure this out.

Please join me in wishing Blonde, her husband, and their unborn daughter every possible happiness, and please keep them in your prayers if you have a moment to spare.

Speaking of little bundles of joy – here’s one that arrived a month ago for another conservative lady with her head screwed on right:

Speaking of stupidly cute things – Baby Yoda being, uh, whatever it is:

Your long read of the week concerns the complex and challenging subject of usury in the context of Christian doctrine. I was certainly surprised and impressed to see the depth of thought and understanding that Christian minds have poured into the subject of usury. It is a difficult topic, but comprehending it is absolutely essential if we are to move beyond a credit- and debt-based economy, and back to an economy that actually produces things:

Of the three passages forbidding interest-charging in the Hebrew Torah, two refer to the rich Israelite lending money to a poor “brother” in dire straits; the lender should not take advantage of the situation by charging interest. The third passage, in Deuteronomy, repeats this ban but allows Hebrews to charge interest to people outside the community. So the practice must not have been seen as intrinsically evil. Ancient Israelites were simply forbidden from confusing family relationships with commercial ones.

Look at the passage in the New Testament book of Luke, which I referred to earlier. “If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive,” Jesus said, “what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much again. But love your enemies, do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return.” Historically, many readers have thought that Jesus was prohibiting the charging of interest. But in context, things look quite different.

In the first part of this sermon, Jesus has given his famous “beatitudes,” such as “Blessed are you who are poor” and “Woe to you who are laughing now, for you will mourn and weep.” Then, he says, among other things: “If anyone takes away your coat, do not withhold even your shirt.” Does Jesus mean we should hope for everyone to be poor, so that they can be blessed? Is he commanding us not to laugh? Are Christians not allowed to sell shirts and coats? Is Jesus forbidding society from enforcing laws against theft? Of course not.

Jesus is using a rhetorical device common in first-century Judaism: hyperbole. Even sinners lend money, he observes, and they expect to receive back the same amount. Jesus says nothing about interest. And Aristotle’s argument is nowhere in sight. Instead, Jesus says we should lend expecting nothing in return. Jesus is encouraging his followers to be generous toward friends in need; he is not denouncing banks for charging interest on loans. Similarly, when Jesus drives the moneychangers out of the Temple, he also drives out everyone selling sheep, cattle, and doves. Nobody concludes from this that Jesus issued a blanket ban on livestock auctions. He did not denounce commerce or money-changing in general, but rather the misuse of a house of worship.

Jesus also condemned hoarding and stinginess. “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth,” he told his disciples, “where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal; but store up for yourselves treasure in heaven.” Here he’s reminding his disciples that their ultimate loyalty is not in wealth or possessions, but in God’s kingdom. He’s denouncing selfish hoarding, not pensions.

Linkage is good for you…

The first bunch are all from The Male Brain:

• Huawei is doing quite badly, thanks to the God-Emperor’s epic WINNING!!!;
• Prime Minister Justin Bieber Justine Truvada Justin Trudeau wasn’t given any heads-up when the God-Emperor ordered a Reaper drone to shove a Hellfire missile up a Persian’s ass, and his FEE-FEES are all hurt over it;
• The GOAT has evidently perfected the subtle art of telling off stroppy immature whining children without raising his voice;
• Did you know that the tomato originated in the Americas? I didn’t, and neither did Dawn Pine;
• Here’s your “NO SHIT SHERLOCK!!!” moment of the week – apparently, importing a lot of Nigerian criminals causes crime to go up in the country that lets them in, and in Italy’s case, the Nigerian mafia actually ends up being more dangerous than the native version;
• Apparently when you hit 47, that’s the absolute worst age – and yet, Dawn Pine is somewhere around that age and he’s having the time of his life;

And here’s what I’ve rooted around and dug up from teh innarwebz for the week:

• Twenty years of experience from the wokest of Scandicuck nations tells us that same-sex “marriage” isn’t working out so well, especially for lesbians;
• Want to make an Oscar-winning movie? Use this trusty formula and you can’t possibly fail!
• There is a REASON why the early Church fathers said that you cannot put women in leadership positions in churches;
• No, the whole flap about the Half-Blood Princess does not show that Britain is racist, because it isn’t;
• The Sexual Market Place in the 21st Century is nothing short of a bloody disaster for most men – though there are ways to get around this;
• You know shit’s gotten weird when Chinese women try to smuggle gold into India in their rectums;

The Neo-Tsar always has interesting things to say, and that’s why I pay attention to him:

I’ve seen a fair amount of breathless commentary from the lying whorenalists of the (((media))) claiming that this means that the Neo-Tsar is going to set himself up to rule for life, like Stalin did.

I’m not nearly so sure.

I do think that Putin recognises that his time as the big boss needs to come to an end, and new blood needs to take over. He is above all a ruthless pragmatist and an extremely dangerous opponent to underestimate. He knows and understands that the Russian people do not much care for “democracy” or mob rule; instead, they want the same style of government that they have had for a thousand years, in the form of an emperor or god-king.

But he also recognises that Russia is too vast and complex to be ruled by just one man all on his lonesome. So his proposed constitutional changes devolve a lot of power back down to the regional governors, which is a very good thing.

If you watch the second and longest of those three videos, you will see that the Neo-Tsar has put into words those very thoughts – cogently, precisely, articulately, and logically. Which, of course, is why I like to listen to the man.

And, perhaps most importantly, his changes cement into law the idea that the man who rules Russia, must himself be Russian. Not a dual-citizen, not a naturalised citizen, not a “paper Russian” – but a genuine, really-for-real Russian with deep roots in the country and a real love for the land and its people.

Would that the American leadership think the same way… About the closest that America has is the God-Emperor, and even he is merely a civic nationalist, not a real nationalist.

Ever wondered what Kylo Ren would have sounded like if he were played by Joe Pesci?

No?

Uh… well, don’t wonder no longer!

I do hope that this doesn’t end up with me gettin’ whacked – wait, what’s that red dot on my shirt…

While we’re talking about epic crazy mash-ups…:

That second one is actually better than the original trailer…

Your history lessons of the week start off with a solid serving of comedy:

Nobody – but NOBODY – does side-splitting deadpan comedy better than the Brits.

On a more serious note:

***

Remember what I wrote last week about how the Russians are retooling their military to be a proper, modernised, technologically advanced, battle-hardened, no-nonsense defensive force?

And remember how I argued that many of the modern Russian weapons systems, such as the Su-57, could potentially really give their Western counterparts fits?

Well have a look at what the Russians can do with helicopters:

If you go looking at the Zvezda channel’s footage, you can see the Ka-52 doing a tail-first climb.

That shit is AMAZEBALLS.

Comedy hour, all of it from Dawn Pine and all of it Israeli:

I do like Israelis, it must be said. They are a genuinely cool bunch of people. I went there 5.5 years ago and I would LOVE to go back.

Wazzocks gonna wazzock, and some enterprising genius has figured out how to upload all of the hilarious Conversation Street segments from THE GRAND TOUR onto YouTube. They are hysterical:

In case you are American and still wondering why the lads fell over practically pissing themselves with laughter at the mere mention of the word, “Growler”, you should go back and watch this classic news clip from old TOP GEAR – y’know, back when that show was actually really good:

Back to THE GRAND TOUR:

But I don’t think they’ve ever topped this bit of banter:

It’s not difficult to see why they are so well-loved everywhere.

***

Pics, guns, girls:

Here’s one to piss off Americans…

Oh, but wait, ze Germans need to get in on this one:

The stuff about the German Imperial Eagle is, by the way, birdshit.

But it’s still pretty funny.

And now for some Meghan Markle memes:

I’m calling it now – 5 years or less before the Ginger Whinger gets his wallet ripped out through his balls by the Half-Blood Princess.

Time to get political:

MGGA, anyone?

No?

Oh well. Looks like we’re sticking with KAG.

That would sure as shit be cheaper than what they’re running now, and every bit as idiotic.

Them bastards deserve it.

Headlines of the week indicate that Floriduh Man is AWOL, but not to worry, we have plenty of substitutes in the Shenanigans & Hootenannies Department:

Serves the Commie Bastards right.

Your “For Science” moment of the week:

Your “WTFH?” moment of the week:

Your “WAAAAAY Too Much Information, Dude!” moment of the week:

Whoa… That’s pretty meta…

I HAVE SEEN THAT EXACT SIGN IN THAT EXACT AIRPORT.

THERE IS A GOD, AND HE LOVES US VERY MUCH!!!

Amen.

Here is an excellent and very thoughtful breakdown of why tae kwon do might not be an art that you want to commit your life to studying – and it’s not a video that hates on the art, at all:

The point that this guy makes about the lack of consistency between movements and patterns across the sub-disciplines taught in his dojo, are very important.

In order to be a truly lethal and effective martial art, the movement patterns that you learn when doing “forms”, so to speak, must be relevant to the patterns used when you actually fight.

Make no mistake, “self-defence” is nothing more than a euphemism for putting the hurt on someone. The goal of “self-defence” is to hurt the other guy so badly that he stops trying to hurt you. The only way to do this effectively is to beat the shit out of him.

You might have the best and most impressive forms in the world. But if you can’t fight your way out of a paper bag, you can’t stop someone else from kicking your ass.

The most effective martial arts are the ones in which the striking techniques that you learn during practice sessions, are the same as the ones that you use when sparring. They should be adapted to the natural movements of the body. They should make some kind of physiological and kinesiological sense.

If they don’t, then your sparring is going to look like absolute dogshit, because your body will have adapted to do one set of movements that make no sense in a different context.

That is why the most effective martial arts for real fighting simply discard the entire idea of forms, insofar as they can. Whether we are talking about (properly taught) Krav Maga, escrima, muay thai, sambo, or boxing, most such arts simply don’t bother with “forms”, and concern themselves more with techniques and sparring.

In Krav Maga, for instance, the techniques that you learn for a knife or gun disarm, require significant striking abilities – which you must learn at yellow belt.

Your Buakaw Beatdown of the Week is about as one-sided as it gets:

That isn’t the first Japanese fighter that has had immense trouble with Buakaw’s teep (front push) kicks. That legendary fight for the K-1 MAX title in 2004 against Masato was perhaps the finest example of muay thai push-kicks ever seen, and Masato had no answer to them at all.

On a related note…

One of the fights that almost EVERY fan of muay thai wants to see, is Buakaw against Saenchai. Now, that’s never going to happen, simply because Buakaw makes it a policy not to fight his own countrymen, and that has been the case since he won the K-1 MAX tournament in 2004. The reason is because he wants to test himself against the best in the world and bring muay thai to a global audience.

But it would be a fascinating fight to watch, because the two men have radically different styles.

The Buakawminator is quite simply a relentless, brutal, unstoppable adversary who never slows down, never gets tired, never gets hurt badly, and never gives up. He wears his opponents down through extreme power, speed, aggression, ferocity, and pressure. He is basically a war machine.

Saenchai, on the other hand, uses feints and mind games to trick his opponents. He plays with them, toys with their depth perception, and dodges their strikes with ease. He turns the art of muay thai into a dance with a bewildering array of strikes that just come out of nowhere. He plays the part of the harlequin in the ring with deadly skill. He is essentially a trickster.

So when those two styles clash head-on, it is anyone’s guess as to who will win.

We can get some idea of what such a fight would look like from this clip of an exhibition match between the two, who have immense respect for each other:

***

For those of you who don’t like working out to metal (HERESY!!!), here’s some 80s retrowave instead:

Some more good old-fashioned synthwave:

I have no idea why everyone bags on the 80s so much. The hair was awesome. The music was amazing. The economy was roaring along. The President was a BAMF. I mean, seriously, the 80s were a great time to be alive.

And finally your Instathot to start the week off on the right note is one Shelby Chesnes. She’s almost 29 (born on Valentine’s Day, no less), hails from Floriduh (yes, really), and was apparently a Playboy model back in 2014. She claims to be an entrepreneur and actress, but I’ve no idea what she’s appeared in, if anything.

But she is apparently all-natural and, at 5’3″, quite a package. She’s a tad short for my liking – I tend to like girls around the 5’7″ range, give or take – but with that figure, it really doesn’t matter.

On with it, then, boys. Let the CRUSHING!!! commence.
