Monday is here again, and as usual it’s just SUCKAGE. But one good thing about Mondays is, of course, the fact that it allows us all to indulge in the Great Mondaydact Browser Buster. As longtime reader lynch once told me, he enjoys seeing whether or not his browser forces his computer to use swap memory just from loading these pages. (We geeks find such things amusing. Draw your own conclusions from that.)
Also, the original version of this post was – and there’s no good way to put it – MORE F***ED UP THAN A FOOTBALL BAT. This was disheartening, to say the least, given that it takes me HOURS to put every single one of these together – probably 10 hours a week, if you add it all up – and I was about ready to delete it all and start over. But I think it’s sorted out now. The reason for it has to do with some sort of conflict between the native WordPress builder and the Divi Builder plugin that I’m using. Hopefully it should all be straightened out now.
Anyway, let’s get on with making Monday a bit less dreary and unbearable by looking at a Big Boy’s Toy.
We start this week with a fascinating video from Curious Droid about the AH-56 Cheyenne attack helicopter, which is quite possibly the greatest attack chopper never made by the US Army:
I do not quite agree with the conclusion from many of the Cheyenne’s supporters that the AH-56 could do the job of both the AH-64 Apache and the A-10 Warthog in one airframe, and do it cheaper and better. The A-10 is an aircraft built around a gigantic cannon and is capable of turning 60-tonne tanks into chew-toys all day long, while still boasting incredible survivability. I seriously doubt that the AH-56 could claim anything like the ruggedness and extreme firepower of the A-10 in close-support missions. The AH-56 was (and remains) a technological marvel, but it’s an open question as to how easily it could have survived close-support missions against tanks, AA guns, and infantry with only one engine and without the kind of extraordinary armour and duplicate systems that the A-10 boasts as standard.
All of that said… the 1960s really were the Golden Age of aircraft development, especially for Lockheed. If you look at what Lockheed managed to create during that decade, they just came out with design after brilliant design. Many of those designs are extraordinary even today – such as the SR-71 Blackbird, which is for my money the single greatest aircraft ever made.

His Most Illustrious, Noble, August, Benevolent, and Legendary Celestial Majesty, the God-Emperor of Mankind, Donaldus Triumphus Magnus Astra, the First of His Name, the Lion of Midnight, may the Lord bless him and preserve him, was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize last week:
Well now. That’s pretty astonishing. And yet, the God-Emperor actually deserves it, unlike his idiotic and bumbling predecessor. In fact, he was nominated TWICE – once by a Norwegian, and again by a Swede.
Maybe I was wrong about the Scandicucks. They might have some balls and backbone after all.
As for the nomination itself, it is certainly deserved. This President has actually done more to promote world peace than just about any President since St. Ronald Magnus of the Right. Unlike his predecessor, Donaldus Triumphus Magnus has not spent most of his first term invading other countries without authorisation, or drone-striking everyone within sight (Qassem Soleimani being a conspicuous, and awesome, exception), or trying to talk out of both sides of his mouth about peace in the Middle East.
He won’t actually get the Peace Prize, and even if he does, the prize itself is totally pointless. The Nobel Peace Prize committee awarded the thing to Yasser Arafat, for instance, which tells you exactly how seriously we should take that shit – and that’s before we get to the fact that Obarmy got it too, despite his endless meddling and intervention, without Congressional authorisation at that, in the Middle East and North Africa. That “prize” isn’t worth the value of the metal used to craft the award.
But if the God-Emperor actually wins… my Lord, can you imagine the salt-mining that we could do as a result? It would be GLORIOUS!

The Male Brain has provided the usual plethora of excellent content this week. By the way, his native land of Israel is going into severe lockdown for three weeks starting Wednesday, which is monumentally stupid. I asked him about it and he said that it’s all because of the Yom Kippur holiday and the sheer incompetence, stupidity, venality, and greed of the various officials in government who are basically engaged in a giant CYA exercise.
Come to think of it, Israel sounds a lot like most Western countries in that respect…
Anyway, he says he’s going to be fine and will be enjoying life over the next three weeks of lockdown. Even so, spare a thought for our friend there in southern Israel, who has made so many great and valuable contributions to the Great Mondaydact Browser Crushers for so long.
We start with the kind of EXTREMELY awkward moment that most of us have probably been through at one time or another – with a seriously horrifying twist at the end:

John Stossel explains how the Chinese dictator Xi Jinping led China backwards to the bad old days of Mao:
China historically used to be far more the aggrieved than the aggressor on the international stage – throughout most of its history right up to about 1950. Since then, however, China has become a very dangerous bad actor. Westerners MUST understand that China is not an ally of Western civilisation – in fact, Chinese civilisation is directly antithetical to all of the three pillars of the West, which is to say, the Graeco-Roman philosophical legacy, Christian morality (do not waste my time with that “Judaeo-Christian” bullshit), and the European nations.
This is how Commiefornians act when they move to Texas – which is exactly why so many Texans support the idea of a law that allows them to SHOOT the Commie bastards on sight:

Our boy Joker has an absolutely horrifying story from Canada that shows you exactly why things are truly insane among the Canoeheads:

PJW calls out bleedin’ heart hypocrite Gary Lineker as… well, a hypocrite:

None of which changes the fact that the man really needs to stick a big-ass Band-Aid on his bleeding heart. He’s not fooling anyone with his posturing and vanity. We all see him as a hypocrite, and we all know that he’s full of shite (to use a rather lovely and quaint PommieBastard expression).

Could Pattman be the most accurate portrayal of the Dark Knight ever seen on the big screen? A large part of me says, “HELL NO!” – we’re talking Robert Pattinson in the lead role, the gay emo sparkly vampire twit from Twilight, for heaven’s sake. He’s openly admitted to refusing to work out in the gym for the role of Batman – though that may have been an elaborate trolling job on his part.
But… that was before I saw his performance in Tenet, where he actually did a pretty good job as a commando and soldier and had obviously taken the time and effort to get into shape for the role.
So I could be wrong. And in this case, I would be happy to be wrong. ScreenRant offers up some evidence suggesting that I will be wrong:
I do hope that RPattz gets it right. For me, the best on-screen adaptation of Batman was and remains BatBale, though I know a lot of you disagree (some of you quite strongly) with that one. I like the Batman character a lot, despite the fact that it is pure Gamma wish-fulfillment. So I would like to see the IP treated properly and respectfully by people who are dedicated to their craft.
I started out being extremely sceptical about Robert Pattinson’s casting as Batman. Now, however, I’m willing to give him a shot, especially after seeing his work in Tenet.
Let’s see what happens when the movie is released.

The Drinker very much recommends the excellent 2012 action film Dredd:
I wholeheartedly agree with his recommendation. I loved that film.
I have heard it argued that this film is basically nothing much more than a redo of a different movie – I forget exactly what it was called, but the scenario was basically the same, a team of fighters trapped in a building surrounded on all sides by hostile forces. I honestly don’t care much about that, since most films are rip-offs of others in one way or another – STAR WARS Episode IV: A New Hope, for instance, is heavily influenced by the old Akira Kurosawa film The Hidden Fortress.
All I can say is that Dredd was an extremely tight, well-scripted, brilliantly executed action flick with Karl Urban playing the titular role to perfection.

Your “Science is F***ING WEIRD” moment of the week:
Single people found it easier to cope during coronavirus lockdown than those in an unhappy relationship – but those in a happy relationship had it best, study finds.
Experts from Danube University surveyed more than 1,000 Austrians a month into lockdown to get a picture of the link between relationship status and emotion state.
People in an unhappy relationship were three times as likely to suffer from anxiety and depression than singles or happy couples, the team discovered.
Those who were happy in their relationship fared best out of all groups, showing a higher general level of mental health wellbeing than singles or unhappy couples.
The findings of the survey ‘underline the fact that not only but especially in times like this, the choice of partner should be carefully considered,’ the team wrote.
As part of the study, the Austrian researchers wanted to better understand the impact a catastrophe – such as a pandemic – could have on mental health.
They evaluated differences in several common mental health and wellbeing measures during the Covid-19 pandemic and related lockdown measures.
As Covid-19 spread quickly throughout the world, most governments implemented restrictions to prevent the uncontrolled spreading of the virus.
Although social distancing and other measures such as the use of personal protective equipment helped to contain the spread, they also seemed to negatively affect mental health, according to the Austrian researchers.
However, there seemed to be a link between how severely impacted someone’s mental health was by the virus and their relationship status.
An unrelated survey from India showed that married participants had 40 per cent lower odds of developing anxiety during lockdown than singles people.
However, a study from the US found that discord in a relationship could be associated with higher risks for mood and anxiety disorders.
This is also your “NO SHIT, SHERLOCK” moment of the week, given that, if you’re not stuck in the proximity of a BUGSHIT INSANE partner for long periods of time in isolation, you are likely to end up happier and healthier when you come out of the whole thing.

Your long read of the week is from a White police officer writing about his long and painful experiences:
In the early 1990s, when I was trying to get a job as an officer, affirmative action was in full swing. Whites all assumed that it would be nearly impossible for us to get a job in this “climate.” The lines just to take the written exam were hundreds of people long, and almost everyone was white. Most of the applicants were recently discharged military, and I remember everyone was well dressed and carrying himself in a professional manner. We knew that the proctors of the written test were members of the agency to which we were applying. Affirmative action made it an uphill battle, so we wanted to make as good an impression as possible. I still remember, almost 30 years later, sitting in my truck in a suit and tie, pouring over my study guide one last time before going in to take the test.
I tested for four different agencies, scoring in the top 5 percent each time. I never got an offer. Finally, three months after I turned 21, I was hired by an agency to the south of the major city in the area.
I attended the academy with about 125 other recruits, and whites were the minority in a class with many blacks, Hispanics, and Asians. I was amazed to see some of the black candidates drive up in cars with hydraulics and booming stereo systems blasting “gangster rap.” I took my training seriously, and was the top shooter and one of the top 10 runners during physical training. I clearly remember four groups for physical training: “gold,” “silver,” “silver two,” and “bronze.”
The “bronze” team was almost all black, except for a few obese white officers. I remember watching blacks feign injury or intentionally run into things to hurt themselves and avoid running. Time after time, they would be excused from physical training. The 10 members of the “gold” group — the top runners — were all white men. We worked harder than the others and held ourselves to a much higher standard; we wanted to be the best. One of the other men in “gold” was a former drill instructor for the Marine Corps. One of my fondest memories of the academy is hearing him call cadence as we ran.
Blacks were subpar in report writing and shooting skills as well. Time after time, my classmates and I noticed obvious failures on the shooting range, in the classroom, or during practical exercises, yet nothing was ever done. I graduated near the top of my class; I was not yet 22. Many black officers who should have failed out of the academy were put onto the streets.
For a very long time, up to and including the modern era, being a “race realist” was and is exactly the same in the popular imagination as being a racist.
Never mind that racism is not, and never was, a sin – that is enough to disqualify one from inclusion in polite company in most places in the West.
But that is rapidly changing. You can see it in the faces of White people as they observe Blacks doing what they usually do. There will come a time, in the near future, when being a race realist will be exactly the same as being a REALIST.
I can tell you personally that you can go to Russia and hear people saying the dreaded “N-word” without a hint of embarrassment or fear. They do it because in Russia they are free to express themselves and what they feel about other races.
It’s not that the Russians are racist – in my experience they are exactly the opposite, they are FAR kinder and more welcoming to foreign races than even their counterparts in Western Europe.
It is simply that Russians understand that speaking plainly is a Good Thing.

Linkage is good for you:
- The God-Emperor has thrown down the gauntlet before the military-industrial complex – the first President since Eisenhower to do so, and the first EVER to take actual, effective action against it;
- Race realism is depressing and dismal, but that doesn’t mean that it is unnecessary or wrong;
- The “religion of peace” actually has some sensible ideas about punishing blasphemy – unfortunately, Islam considers EVERYTHING that is even mildly critical of it as blasphemous, which makes nothing blasphemous by definition;
- File this one under “India Wins Again” – the dangers of being a woman in India are often overblown, but there is no question that some parts of it are genuinely bad for them, and Indians need to answer for that;
- If you are White, and you try to be a good “ally” to the Black Looming Menace, you should not then be surprised when your newfound Black “brothers” try to kick your teeth in for beng a spineless pussy;
- The lockdowns have been an absolute economic, political, moral, and biological catastrophe on every level (h/t longtime reader and friend of the blog MrUNIVAC);
- Roosh explains why American dentists are not to be trusted – and he’s pretty much right, they’re like oil prospectors, in that they always say, “DRILL BABY DRILL!”;
- Ukraine’s birth rate has plummeted into the “event horizon” of the Demographic Black Hole due to all of the craziness and instability since the CIA-backed coup of the legitimately elected Ukrainian President in 2014;
- This article is entirely in Russian, but it’s full of before-and-after photos of Russian celebrities who use, shall we say, enhancements;
- The global elites are doing everything in their power to prevent the re-election of the God-Emperor – and in the process are ensuring that he WILL be re-elected, in a true TRUMPSL!DE;
And some more from Dawn Pine:
- The Hollywood Quota Wars are coming – get yourself some popcorn, sit back, and relax as Hollyweird burns itself to the ground;
- Both Edmund Burke and Abraham Lincoln, lionised for so long by conservatives, are now in the dock for being RAAAAAACISSS!!!;
- YouWoke McGregor is extremely keen to get back to playing Obi-Wan Kenobi, for reasons that have NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with his eye-watering divorce bill;
- Hugo Weaving is a great actor, but when he starts talking nonsense about the true meaning behind the whole “red pill” concept in The Matrix, that’s when he really needs to STFU;

The Neo-Tsar has done a pretty good job, all things considered, of keeping his country’s economy more or less on track after the impact of the Beer Bug:
The Neo-Tsar is definitely engaging in some selective editing there. If you spend much time in Moscow, and wander around through the shopping centres and walk along the streets, you will see the results of a severe, sharp, but relatively temporary economic depression. Shops are closing down very quickly and people are out of work, hungry, and tired.
But Russia is still far more free, and more stable, than most of Western Europe – and much more so than Australia, New Zealand, Israel, and blue-state America.

Related – your feel-good animal story of the week:
Staffers at Sunshine Dog Rescue are caring for an Australian shepherd mix whose three puppies died after she went into premature labor last month, according to People.
“Going into premature labor gave her babies no chance of living outside of her womb. While my heart hurts for the puppies that never got to run and play, my heart is so very sad for Georgia. She is looking for her babies and it is heartbreaking to watch,” the rescue said in a Facebook post on August 13.
However, when Sunshine took in three newborn kittens just days later, the grieving canine made them her own.
“She LOVES them. So far we have been able to get one to latch and are bottle feeding until the other two figure it out too,” the rescue said.
Sadly, one of the kittens died, but Georgia remained focused on the healthy ones and the rescue added another kitten, named Goober, to the little family.
“They have all opened their eyes, are gaining weight (now weigh 7-8 ounces each), and seem very content with mama,” an August 20 update read.

Yeah, I saw that the post was more f***ed up than a football bat when it originally went up. I tried looking at it on a mobile screen and it turned out fine.
I’m not sure what happened. I think it has to do with some sort of conflict between the native Gutenberg block editor in WordPress and the Divi theme builder that I have installed on all of my sites. I tried running this post through the Divi editor instead, and it updated immediately and now seems to look quite correct.
Try refreshing in Brave and let me know if it turns out OK.
Looks better. I usually read the browser buster on a desktop. Not sure how it looked on a mobile screen.
I haven’t seen it, but I think the movie you’re thinking of is Assault on Precinct 13. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074156/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
Also, I don’t think your BitChute links are working. I loved the last Popp video and can’t wait to see what he says about that POS book.
There is something awfully screwy going on with these embeds. They work fine in the drafting mode, but in the final output they are broken. I’ll look into it – this wasn’t an issue last week at all.
BitChute embeds should be working now. I think it was a conflict between the Advanced iFrame plugin and Divi… somehow. No idea why. But things seem to be sorted.
