Mondays. They are THE SUCK.

That, of course, is why we have the Great Mondaydact Browser Buster. And this week’s theme is a bit unusual. At the suggestion of our good friend, The Male Brain, the theme is all about the Jewish festival of Shavuot, which we Christians know of as Pentecost.

Take it away, Dawn Pine:

Shavuot known as the Feast of Weeks in English and as Pentecost (Πεντηκοστή) in Ancient Greek, is a Jewish holiday that occurs on the sixth day of the Hebrew month of Sivan (late May or early June).

Shavuot has a double significance. It marks the all-important wheat harvest in the Land of Israel (Exodus 34:22); and it commemorates the anniversary of the day God gave the Torah to the entire nation of Israel assembled at Mount Sinai, although the association between the giving of the Torah (Matan Torah) and Shavuot is not explicit in the Biblical text.

The holiday is one of the Shalosh Regalim, the three Biblical pilgrimage festivals. It marks the conclusion of the Counting of the Omer, and its date is directly linked to that of Passover. The Torah mandates the seven-week Counting of the Omer, beginning on the second day of Passover, to be immediately followed by Shavuot. This counting of days and weeks is understood to express anticipation and desire for the giving of the Torah. On Passover, the people of Israel were freed from their enslavement to Pharaoh; on Shavuot they were given the Torah and became a nation committed to serving God. The word Shavuot means weeks, and the festival of Shavuot marks the completion of the seven-week counting period between Passover and Shavuot.

Why is it important to Christians:

Acts 2 records the fulfillment of Shavuot as the promised Holy Spirit descends, indwells believers and ushers in the church age. Key points to remember are:

• Jesus promised the Holy Spirit would come and live in believers’ hearts (John 14:16, 26; 15:26; 16:7), and He said it would happen soon after His ascension (Acts 1:4-5).
• The Spirit came on the Day of Pentecost as Jews from all over the world gathered in Israel (Acts 2:5). They heard the sound of a rushing, mighty wind and came together to investigate it (Acts 2:6). In this way, God began to use believers, indwelled by the Holy Spirit, to be His witnesses, beginning in Jerusalem (Acts 1:8). The 3,000 saved on the Day of Pentecost were Jews.
• While unleavened bread symbolizes Jesus’ sinless humanity (Luke 22:19), the two loaves used at Shavuot / Pentecost contain yeast and symbolize that the Body of Christ (the church) would be made up of sinners.
• The two loaves used at Shavuot also symbolize Jews and Gentiles, demonstrating the fulfillment of God’s covenant with Abraham to bless all the nations through him (Gen. 12:3; see Gal. 3:26-28).
• Just as faithful Jews brought the firstfruits of their wheat harvest to the Temple on Shavuot, so the 3,000 Jewish believers on the Day of Pentecost were the firstfruits of the church.
• One of Jesus’ parables about the kingdom of heaven refers to wheat and tares – a message that the true church, like wheat, would exist along with false professors of the faith, like tares, until Christ returns and separates them (Matt. 13:24-30; 34-43).

Plenty more good stuff to follow down in the Pics section. For now, though, the Pentecost has come and the Holy Spirit is with us. And that, if nothing else, is more than enough to make Monday great again.

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, correctly notes that even Jimmy the Idiot Peanut Farmer was a better POTUS than the current Fake President:

Former President Donald Trump said Wednesday that President Joe Biden was worse than former President Jimmy Carter at handling crises.

“Joe Biden has had the worst start of any president in United States history, and someday, they will compare future disasters to the Biden Administration — but no, Jimmy was better!” Trump wrote in a statement sent to reporters.

The president acknowledged many Americans were comparing Biden to Carter — especially after a malware attack on the Colonial pipeline caused gas shortages and long lines at gas stations on the East Coast.

But Trump said it was “very unfair to Jimmy Carter” to compare the two presidents.

“Jimmy mishandled crisis after crisis, but Biden has CREATED crisis after crisis,” he said.

Just one minor correction – the God-Emperor is not the “former President”. He IS the President. The election was stolen outright from him and the American people. It’s that simple.

Mark Dice is, like the rest of us, quite delighted at the fact that neoclown Liz Cheney has joined her father as an exile from the ranks of the Republicuck Party:

The Republicans are, by and large, pretty despicable cowards. They don’t stand up against the Left – with some NOTABLE exceptions. But in general, they give up the fight before it even starts. They are pathetic spineless losers.

But once in a while, they find their balls and they do what is right.

Unfortunately, the good news kind of stops there, because if you watch the full video, you will see the US Army’s latest idea of a recruiting video. It is so PAINFULLY woke and retarded that I just had to send it to a friend of mine. I told him that I thought his blood pressure was a bit low, and that he had a bit of fluid buildup in his spleen that needed venting, and sent that to him to help with those issues.

The resulting verbal explosion was something to behold, I’ll tell you.

Bear in mind that the ad in question is absolutely real. Watch it, and you will quickly realise that those weird sounds you hear at the end are the Russian and especially Chinese admirals and generals rolling around on the floors of their briefing centres, howling with laughter and clutching their aching sides.

No wonder the USA can’t win wars against any country larger than Panama. The US military is the world’s most ridiculously overpriced White Elephant. It sends up $1.8 TRILLION dollars worth of useless Joint Strike Flying Pianos, while pretending that women belong on the battlefield, and thinks that its massive fleets and amazing machines are a substitute for true fighting strength and spirit.

The US military can’t win so much as an egg-and-spoon race at this point. And that is how things will stay, for years to come, until the final collapse.

Dave from Blue Collar Logic goes full cuck in this ridiculous video about “Caitlyn” Jenner being a “good” candidate for goobernor of Clownipornia:

I let him know exactly what I think of such stupidity in the comments. I welcome you to do the same. Such idiocy needs to be exposed for what it is.

Meanwhile, Jason, rather more sensibly, points out that the God-Emperor is in fact responsible for a lot of good things:

Bill Whittle is every bit as unimpressed by the US Army’s latest woke ad as we are:

The Male Brain is back with plenty of good stuff to keep us amused and upbeat. We start with a video from Insider that gives a former bank robber’s perspective about how realistic some of the best heist scenes in films are:

And from the same channel – there are a number of standard movie stunts that films repeatedly use, because they are very effective:

Classic John Stossel about how inflation and government spending are nothing more than reverse Robin Hood:

The lovely and charming Dr. Sam Bailey discusses, in her lovely and charming way, how the medical establishment completely shat the bed in 2020 – and actually, the problem goes back quite a long way.

It’s actually hard for me to concentrate on what she’s saying when she speaks. Grey eyes slay me, every single time.

Your “Science is F***ING WEIRD” moment of the week is from Dawn Pine, and is depressing on a number of levels – the tl;dr version is that now HORSES can catch the Kung Flu:

Equine coronavirus (ECoV) infection is the cause of an emerging enteric disease of adult horses. Outbreaks have been reported in the USA, EU and Japan, as well as sporadic cases in the UK and Saudi Arabia. Infection of ECoV in horses in Israel has never been reported, and the risk of exposure is unknown. Importation and exportation of horses from and into Israel may have increased the exposure of horses in Israel to ECoV. While the disease is mostly self-limiting, with or without supportive treatment, severe complications may occur in some animals, and healthy carriers may pose a risk of infection to other horses. This study was set to evaluate the risk of exposure to ECoV of horses in Israel by using a previously validated, S1-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). A total of 41 out of 333 horses (12.3%) were seropositive. Exposure to ECoV was detected in 17 of 29 farms (58.6%) and the seroprevalence varied between 0 and 37.5% amongst farms. The only factor found to be significantly associated with ECoV exposure in the multivariable model was the geographical area (p < 0.001). ECoV should be included in the differential diagnosis list of pathogens in cases of adult horses with anorexia, lethargy, fever and gastrointestinal signs in Israel.

Your long read of the week is also from Dawn Pine, and consists of a classic Cappy piece about the lessons that Gen-Z women need to learn from their Shrillennial predecessors:

Employers love desperate, financially crippled employees because beggars can’t be choosers.  Employers can get away with paying financially desperate people a lower wage than somebody with a degree in engineering who has four offers on the table.  This increases their profits by trillions and is one of several reasons median wages have remained stagnant in the past 40 years.  It is also one of the main reasons the wage gap exists.  You might ask, “Well wouldn’t women return to school to get a good degree or a trade?” But remember, The Vagina Industrial Complex has thoroughly sold women on the lie they’re being oppressed and discriminated against, not that they chose a poor field.  Furthermore, they also sold women on the lie they’re entitled to work in a field they’re “passionate about.”  These two lies damn women to slave away at sub-par wages for decades, often times their entire lives, cumulatively providing trillions in lower labor costs to the corporate sector of The Vagina Industrial Complex.

Still, corporations aren’t done sucking the blood out of women yet because even though women may be drowning in debt, that doesn’t mean they can’t be squeezed for even more.  Women do make money.  They do have salaries.  Plus the banking sector within The Vagina Industrial Complex is nothing but eager to lend these women money at very profitable rates on those salaries.  All of which can be spent on consumer spending, further increasing corporate profits.  And who cares if this additional debt enslaves women for the rest of their lives?  According to their programming they were entitled to “have it all.”  And besides, “YOLOammirite?”

Here you really have to applaud the corporate sector within The Vagina Industrial Complex for just what a brilliant job they’ve done convincing young women to part with their money.  Prada handbags, Jimmy Chew shoes, expensive uptown flats, $12 flirtinis, master’s degrees.  They’ve done a masterful job marketing a lifestyle that manages to squeeze every possible dime out of a woman’s salary, and more when she borrows at 24% APR on her credit card.  But what this effectively does is merely extend the time women are enslaved to The Vagina Industrial Complex through debt. If women really wanted to, they could work two jobs, live at home, and have their student loans easily paid off before they turn 27.  But if that happened they wouldn’t be paying billions in interest on debts they wouldn’t have.  Furthermore, they might discover frugality and fiscal discipline, which would be a death knell to the corporate sector.  The Vagina Industrial Complex needs girls perpetually behind the financial 8 ball buying SUV’s, “this year’s clothes,” fancy dinners, nights on the town, and master’s degrees, because if they don’t then “Tina” might have a nicer hangbag than “Amy” and “Madison” will have her master’s degree while “Ashley” doesn’t!  And we just can’t have that now can we?

Linkage is good for you:

• Sadly, the first link in this list is about a mass shooting in Russia, of all places – specifically, in the Volgan Muslim-majority city of Kazan, where some asshat decided to shoot up a school – try to guess the motive;
• The Russkies have invested heavily in their missile defence systems, and it shows – their newest defence systems have simply neutralised almost every American aerospace advantage;
• Are you nostalgic for the high-crime, high-unemployment, high-inflation, petrol-rationed 1970s? Well, not to worry, the Fake President has you covered, and the USA has now gone from energy independence to petrol shortages in 5 months!!!;
• Related – I’ve never wanted to smack the smugness off someone’s face as much as I did after watching Jennifer Granholm lecture the plebs about the need to buy electric cars to avoid petrol shortages…;
• The French military has put its effete closeted President on notice, and they absolutely will not sit still and watch their beloved country go down in flames when the multi-cultural powder-keg that it’s sitting on finally blows;
• Staying with the Frogs for a moment – apparently women will now have the right to resort to medically assisted procreation, and Rachel Marsden argues, correctly, that men should no longer have to pay child support either;
• Stephen Glover at The Daily Mail asks whether the Labour Party in PommieBastardLande has any future whatsoever after the electoral beatdown it suffered last week;
• The Kung Flu advisory panel over in PommieBastardLande have been totally wrong about almost everything, and their track record continues to be one of endless FAIL with respect to their ghastly predictions about a “third wave”;
• An Australian woman goes in for tonsil surgery and comes out of it sounding like an Irishwoman – given my familiarity with both accents, it’s hard to say which one would be less desirable, to be honest;
• Somewhere in PommieBastardLande, there is a giant outline carved into a hillside of a man – with a gigantic penis – which apparently dates back to Saxon times;
• The Washington Compost has decided to go just a bit more woke by appointing a woman as its chief editor – no doubt she still won’t be “diverse” enough for the readership base of The Jeff Bezos Blog, though;
• Despite the endless drumbeat of stupidity coming from the WHO and the CDC, the reality is that masks DO NOT PROTECT HEALTHY PEOPLE from the influenza virus – never mind the Kung Flu itself;
• The Kung Flu appears to be surging in 4 out of the 5 most heavily vaccinated countries – and there appears to be a strong trend of infection rates spiking right after vaccination takes off, draw your own conclusions from that one;
• Related – Mike Whitney at The Unz Review notes that the not-vaccines are proving to be significantly more dangerous than any vaccine that has ever been released before, with significantly less bnefit;
• Pepe Escobar gets off to a downright weird start here, but he notes that the Fake President’s Fake Secretary of State really read the Comedian-in-Chief of Ukraine the riot act, which helps explain why the Crimean crisis suddenly dissipated;
• I love dogs (well, REAL dogs, not the cotton-balls-with-legs that women like), but these pictures will definitely make me reconsider getting one, given how downright daemonic they can look from time to time;
• The defenestration of the Neoclown-in-Chief’s daughter (the striaght one, not the lesbo) was VERY long overdue, but it’s nice to see the Republicucks grow a spine once in a very long while and do what is necessary;
• Harry the Ginger Whinger has managed to do the seemingly impossible – he’s united both the US AND the UK in hating him for the stupid shit that he says, especially with respect to his recent nonsense about the 1A, which he doesn’t understand;

And some more from Dawn Pine:

• Our Israeli friend takes serious issue with this silly article about all of the “wonderful” things that Aussies take for granted which don’t exist elsewhere, and having seen both Israel and Russia in detail, I think he’s right to be pissed;
• Microsoft is not content with making software so bad that it looks like a kid designed it – now they’re actually HIRING LITTLE BROWN GIRLS to be software programmers, and neither Dawn Pine nor I are making that shit up;
• It seems that the Chinese aren’t very much fun to work for – I could have told people that – because tech workers are actually turning down jobs at TikTok due to their toxic workplace culture;
• You know how we like to talk about “shit hits the fan” situations? Well, in this case, when the fan hits the glass bridge, you’d damned well better have a good plan;
• Your “YOU DON’T F***ING SAY!!!” moment of the week – the people who committed the cyber-hack on that pipeline in the US were, in fact, criminals, rather than, say, bored stay-at-home dads;
• Apparently, the driver was in fact at fault when his Tesla took off with him in the driver’s seat, after he turned on the autopilot feature, or whatever it’s called;
• Robots are going to make us all redundant soon enough – they’ve already taken over fast food service and grocery checkouts and hotel check-ins, and they are now taking over nail salons too;
• We love to go on about how “shit happens”, but the Bullshit Broadcasting Corporation has really plumbed new depths with this headline about how human faecal matter could potentially transform forests in Malawi;
• The FLOSSils behind open-source sound editor Audacity have had the, uh, well, audacity to install tracking software into their application, and users are PISSED – rightly so, too;
• Here’s a tip if you DO decide to get the not-vaccine – DON’T get the jab from a distracted nurse, because she might just inject you SIX TIMES, and then will claim that you won’t feel ANY side effects;
• Given what arrogant asshats scientists have become of late, it’s nice to hear some of them admit once in a while that they literally don’t know what is causing mysterious phenomena “out there” in the skies;
• Clearly, Apple’s gay CEO and his woke management team don’t approve of employees telling it like it is about the tech world, especially with respect to WAMMENZES and NEGROZE in tech;
• The fact that deep-sea fish pose no threat to humans is of no comfort whatsoever when you see that evolutionary and physical pressures in those environments have shaped them into nightmare-fuel;

The Neo-Tsar is not in the least bit amused at the efforts of Western powers to turn Ukraine into their puppet by daemonising Russia:

When the Neo-Tsar gets THAT look on his face… RUN, because someone’s gonna die REALLY badly.

For those of you who, like me, find the fight between Master Chief and Locke in HALO 5: Guardians to be utterly ridiculous, HaloFollower has fixed it for us:

And now let’s watch Mint Blitz bork the shit out of the HALO physics engine some more:

Also, this year marks the 20th anniversary of the release of the very first game in the greatest series of all time, and 343i has created some beautiful artwork to celebrate that fact:

And, finally, whoever created this mashup of HALO: Reach and TOP GEAR, deserves a freakin’ NOBEL PRIZE for absolute genius:

Pics, guns, girls, starting with some pictures from Dawn Pine related to this week’s theme:

Onward:

We are, indeed, right there in the Thunderdome. (And yes, Smartypants, I KNOW IT’S A DIFFERENT MOVIE! My taste in films is pretty awful, but it’s not SO bad that I confuse Mad Max movies.)

One of my readers knows about the actual guy in that viral video. Apparently he is former Sefrikin Special Forces – complete badass with balls the size of church bells, and made of solid steel.

Also, apparently that shit happens regularly in South Africa. The entire country went from nearly First World under Apartheid, to BELOW Third World under Black rule, in under a single generation. That’s not a justification for Apartheid, mind – it’s just shocking to see.

I think this next picture defines incongruity:

GOOD LORD, YES!

MAKE. IT. SO!

This next one will knock you on your ass laughing:

People from PommieBastardLande really need to STFU about their “great” public transport system. it ain’t that great. Trust me, I know.

The Euzis could do with the same advice, by the way. Nothing more irritating than listening to a Frog or a Kraut boasting about their trains, when you could drop their entire country into the middle of the USA and nobody would notice other than the mosquitoes and the bears.

Pretty much, yeah.

Headlines of the week actually give us some reason for hope, for a change (see what I did there?):

Your “Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting” moment of the week:

Your “Saucy Move” moment of the week:

Your “Texas Tiger” moment of the week:

Isn’t there a sportzball team somewhere in the USA that is named after the Bengal tiger, and is widely considered to be an utter joke?

Here’s your “Media InConsistency” moment of the week:

Floriduh Man stories simply do not get old:

To quote mathematician Paul Erdos:

It’s 2021 and we STILL don’t have space hookers!!! WTFH!

Your Dog of the Week is the Bavarian Mountain Hound:

Your aminules are adorkable moment of the week:

And also your animals are absolute DICKS moment of the week, to balance things out:

And then there’s your some endangered species AREN’T F***ING ENDANGERED ENOUGH moment of the week, thanks to everybody’s favourite bald YooToober (no, not St. Efan – he’s been booted off the platform anyway – the OTHER one):

Gym beast props this week go to some guy named Michael Vazquez:

While we’re on the subject of world-destroying assbeat, MMA On Point looks at the 10 most useless martial arts for cage-fighting – and a few of the included options might come as a bit of a surprise:

He’s right about Krav Maga not being useful as a sport art. It isn’t. KM practitioners specifically train to inflict maximum damage on precisely the kinds of points and joints that MMA rules do NOT permit fighters to attack.

The clips in that video concerning Russian Sistema, though, are just… I don’t even know how to describe them. In one clip, you can see someone GRAB THE BLADE IN A KNIFE DEFENCE. That is so mind-bogglingly STUPID that I actually started screaming at my computer screen when I saw it. My neighbours must have thought I’d lost my mind – well, y’know, even more than usual.

#RustyMetal

Damned good song, that.

I’ve had We Are the Night by MAGNUS KARLSSON’S FREEFALL on loop for the last few days. I really like Magnus Karlsson’s guitar style and skills – he’s the genius behind the first two (SUPER EPIC AMAZEBALLS AWESOMESAUCE!!!!!!) ALLEN/LANDE albums, The Battle and Revenge. (The third one, The Showdown, wasn’t that good, and by the time the fourth one rolled around with former STRATOVARIUS founder and guitarist, and general all-around bipolar nutcase, Timo Tolkki, on the strings, it was too late to recover the magic of the originals.)

That album is amazing.

---

And now, at long last, after much palaver and to-do, here is your starting Instathot for the week. Her name is Vivane Lomelin, age 22, from Mexico City, in… um, Mexico, obviously. She’s famous for being an Instathot, and for her work on TikTok doing comedy and lifestyle videos. Since I do not use TikTok and do not post on Instaham, ever, I have no clue what any of that means.

She isn’t quite the usual “type” that we feature around here. I debated putting her up for a while, but since variety is indeed the spice of life, I said, “f**k it, why not”, so here she is. Some of you might think she’s fat – others would probably call her “curvy”. It’s all in the eye of the beholder, I suppose.

Anyway, that’s all, gents. Get your butts back to work – you won’t be able to buy those wonderful electric cars that run on unicorn piss and fairy farts that Granholm wants you to buy if you don’t work for some rapidly depreciating currency.
