Well, that was a damn fast weekend… Indeed, in my case, it was a damned fast week OFF, at least nominally, and now I am back at it as though nothing ever happened. Still and all, it was a reasonably useful and at least somewhat restful time, and I did manage to get a fair few things done.
However, none of that dampens the horror of the fact that it is MONDAY, and that is AWFUL.
So to lessen the pain, let us get on with downing the Great Mondaydact Browser Cleanser in bucket-sized amounts.
As some of you may be aware, there was a bit of a “debate” last week between two angry old men – one of whom was actually coherent and sensible, and the other who was just… well, words really cannot quite sum it up:
It was so bad that even the idiots at MSHIV couldn’t disguise the horror:
Indeed, liberals everywhere had a massive collective freakout about it:
Since the Left can’t meme, though, it is up to us to look at this colossal car crash and mock it. FreedomToons really had fun with the DURRbate:
John Talks 2 has a take on it:
Hitler Rants Parodies tackles it too:
On a slightly more serious note, LTC Daniel Davis explained a rather important point that the God-Emperor simply elided over:
It might actually be too late to replace Brandon – though I rather think this will not stop the Deep State from doing so. What we are seeing is nothing short of an all-out and desperate attempt to overthrow Brandon, because he has long outlived his utility as a globalist tool.
Let me be very clear about the nature of that DURRbate – it was nothing short of a hatchet job on Brandon, because the Deep State understands he is no longer capable of doing what they want. They are seeking desperately to replace him, not out of altruism or sense, but because they are desperate to survive.
The Mighty God-Emperor
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, definitely had a great weekend after that humiliation of Brandon. He also had some sensible things to say about the Chinks, Norks, and Russkies:
Rather fatuously, though, he claims The Putin would never have invaded Ukraine if he had been President in 2022:
Personally, I think that is nonsense. If Trump had made Ukraine an offer to join NATO – or, worse, to become a nuclear-armed power hostile to Russia – then The Putin would absolutely have pulled the trigger.
#BasedTucker is Based
PHENOMENAL speech – particularly the last 15 minutes, where he absolutely HAMMERS the whorenalists present at the event, and makes them look 15 kinds of stupid.
Dawn of Battle
The Male Brain has compiled an exceptional list of videos for us this week. We start with one from Moon, about how the UK is essentially at the point of collapse:
I have to agree with all of these points. #BasedTucker points this out repeatedly in his public discussions – every time he visits the UK, it seems like a horribly depressing and pathetic place, and gets worse with each trip.
Another one from the same source about how and why rich people pretend to be poor:
Justin Sung explains the types of thinking you need to learn and master:
Good one from PsycHacks about what a date really is, and how you avoid getting sucked into the woman’s frame:
CheaterBuster has a great one that kind of restores your faith in humanity, of a police officer who caught his own wife cheating with another man:
There is some debate in the comments as to whether that is a real video or not. I have no idea. All I can say is, if it actually IS a real video, the copper handled the situation just about perfectly.

Margin of Victory
DA KERNEL!!! offers his thoughts in the wake of Brandon’s utterly calamitous performance on the “debate” stage:
He also had some very interesting ideas and points to make on a programme with a Dutchman recently:
Interestingly, in that interview, Col. Macgregor repeats the claims he has made quite often in the past, of the COLOSSAL casualties suffered by the Soviet Union during the Great Patriotic War, and states that he has spoken with members of the Russian General Staff, who privately admit that even the most up-to-date public estimates of those casualties are way off. He reckons the USSR lost THIRTY NINE MILLION PEOPLE during the Nazi invasion, and the subsequent continental war in Europe, and that the NKVD executed a million officers and soldiers in the Red Army during the war.
He has repeated this line often enough to earn the severe wrath of Andrei Martyanov, who thinks the Colonel is talking out of his ass, on this topic, at least, and has posted up evidence from the Russian archives, which he claims comprehensively debunks these claims.
On the other hand… no less an eminence than David Glantz, whose work Grandpa Grumpuss deeply respects, notes that the Red Army lost at least 14 million men throughout the whole of WWII.
So perhaps the Colonel is right, and Grumpuss is wrong. I simply do not know.
All I know for sure is, our understanding of what happened to the people of the USSR, under the horrors of both Leninism and Stalinism, and the ravages of the German invasion, is extremely poor – on BOTH SIDES of the debate.
Rulings from the Bench
Judge Nap has had a very busy week in the wake of the freeing of Julian Assange. We start with Col. Douglas Macgregor, who talks about the impending collapse of the Ukrainian military, and the utter insanity of Israel’s planned invasion of southern Lebanon:
Maj. Scott Ritter is tickled pink at the failures of the incompetent Jew-boy wannabe rockstar, Blinken, and his total inability to understand the Russian leaders:
Capt. Matthew Hoh is delighted at the fact that Assange is finally free:
Alistair Crooke points to a fundamental restructuring of the American view of the world, thanks to what Russia is doing in Ukraine:
Larry Johnson & Ray McGovern give us a great wrap-up for the week:
Pepe Escobar is back with some great takes on the Russian leadership’s thoughts and motives in Ukraine:
Prof. Jeffrey Sachs explains at length the serious problems facing Benjamin Netanyahu, whose only options seem to be bad and worse:
Prof. Gilbert Doctorow prognosticates about potential Russian responses to the deadly Sevastopol and Dagestan attacks last weekend:
Prof. John Mearsheimer also has a lot to say about the problems facing Israel today:
Дед Сварливый Говорит!
Grandpa Grumpuss grumps, grumpily, about the utter absurdity of Amerikhastan’s Arctic ambitions, when it has only two real icebreakers:
Polonium
Ania Konieczek is back in Moscow, and it very obviously agrees with her – she looks MUCH happier and more relaxed. (Having been to Russia many times, I know exactly what that feels like. Arriving in Russia really does feel GREAT – if you know your way around and can speak the language a little.) Here, she interviews Larry Johnson about the Russian demarche to the American Ambassador, in the wake of the Sevastopol and Dagestan provocations:
The fact that Russia no longer considers itself to be at peace with Amerikhastan, should absolutely TERRIFY Americans. This is genuinely a terrible development, because the Russians are a VASTLY more powerful industrial nation than America is, now, and that means they can defeat America in a conventional war, across multiple fronts.

The good gentlemen of The Duran are both quite worried about Amerikhastani escalations in their war with Russia:

Brian Berletic of The New Atlas goes through the details of Ukrainian losses and failures on the battlefield, and points to the inevitability of 404’s defeat:
Bad Medicine
Dr. John Campbell laments the rising mistrust of the medical profession, but understands exactly why it is happening:
Dr. Suneel Dhand points to something I have known for years, which is that a very large proportion of people who take statins, do not need them:
Indeed, I argue NOBODY needs statins, because cholesterol, by itself, has very little to do with heart disease. The root cause of heart disease appears to be inflammation, not cholesterol.
Warriors of Faith
Tha Dizzle has a big announcement about an awesomesauce apologetics and polemics conference in Ohio:

Fr. Josiah Trenin from PatristicNectarFilms notes the failure of the sexy secular post-Enlightenment Utopia, and the return to normality and faith that a few of us have begun to notice:
Manly Men of Manliness
Terrence Popp has a very harsh truth about chivalry that women need to hear:
Joker from Better Bachelor is gratified to see lamestream media taking notice of men who have simply checked out of modern society:
As I have long stated, MGTOW is a philosophy of surrender, not of action. However, I do not begrudge those who, like Joker, have suffered at the hands of modren society, and have simply checked out. Every man has his limits and his breaking points, and those who have tried – in his case, twice – to marry and have children, have the emotional and psychological scars to prove that they did the best they could with what they had.
I have no problem with them simply carrying on with their lives as they see fit.
I DO have a serious problem with young men who rail about how awful women are, without doing anything to improve themselves and build interesting and meaningful lives.

Reading Too Much Into Things
Your Science is F***ing Weird moment of the week is all about black holes and quasars, some of which are so powerful and energetic that they can reshape entire galaxies:
A bright quasar, powered by a supermassive black hole, is blasting out radiation that pushes away clouds of gas in its surroundings to generate winds reaching speeds of around 36 million miles per hour (58 million kilometers per hour). Oh, and the quasar is also nearly as old as the universe itself.
The discovery, made by a team of scientists led by University of Wisconsin–Madison astronomers, shows the role that feeding supermassive black holes at the hearts of so-called “active galactic nuclei,” or “AGNs,” can play in sculpting the wider galaxies around them.
The researchers arrived at their findings using eight years of data about the quasar SBS 1408+544, located 10.8 billion light-years away in the constellation Bootes. This data was collected by the Black Hole Mapper Reverberation Mapping Project carried out by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The light from SBS 1408+544 has been traveling to Earth for almost 11 billion years; that’s nearly as long as the 13.8 billion-year-old universe has existed.
Related: A massive black hole may be ‘waking up’ in a nearby galaxy
While supermassive black holes with masses equivalent to millions, or sometimes billions, of suns are thought to exist at the hearts of most galaxies, not all of these power up quasars. Quasar black holes are surrounded by matter in a flattened swirling cloud called an “accretion disk” that gradually feeds them material.
The immense gravitational influence of a quasar’s central supermassive black hole causes friction and tidal forces that heat the matter of the accretion disk, causing it to glow intensely. Additionally, matter that is not fed to the supermassive black hole is channeled to the poles of the cosmic titan by powerful magnetic fields, where it is accelerated to near-light speeds and blasted out as highly collimated jets. These dual jets from each black hole pole are also accompanied by emissions of electromagnetic radiation.
Not only does this radiation make some quasars brighter than the combined light of every star in the galaxies around them, but this light also shapes those galaxies and offers a useful gauge for astronomers to measure the influence black holes have on galaxies in general.
Your long read of the week is from John Helmer, and offers a Russian perspective on the outcomes of the DURRbate – and those Russian reactions are NOT reassuring to anyone from the West:
Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, claimed that Putin slept through the live broadcast of the debate. He did not say Putin has not watched a replay. “I don’t think that you can expect the Russian president to set his alarm, wake up early morning and watch the debate. This isn’t a main event for us.”
A summary of the mainstream Russian media concluded that Russian officials and analysts saw what they already thought they knew. “There are several reasons Moscow would prefer a Trump presidency — the Republican candidate has threatened to pull the U.S. out of NATO and is skeptical of American aid to Ukraine — and Russian coverage generally maintained a neutral tone toward him [Trump], while being less generous with his opponent [Biden].”
Vzglyad, the semi-official security platform in Moscow, editorialized with a commentary on Biden’s medical condition, headlined “Biden confirms Alzheimer’s victory”, with a lengthy analysis of the medical treatments and the conclusion: “this does not mean that he cannot be elected president. Dementia is, again, a long–term disease. The question is when its progress will become impossible to hide or interpret as the malicious machinations of enemies.”
In a second editorial comment Vzglyad noted: “Why does Russia need a smart president in the United States? Russia needs normal relations with the United States to implement its own, Russian foreign policy strategy. And not a world war of all against all, in which we have serious chances to lose. Some people ask a reasonable question: What is the point for Russia to have an intelligent, strong and capable president at the head of the United States? The answer is not easy. The choice in politics is never black and white. It is hardly beneficial for Russia for the United States to be led by a strong president who has a tough and realistic strategy for the world order and knows how to effectively manage resources.”
By this measure, a Russian source concludes: “everyone in Moscow, including the Kremlin, General Staff, and the oligarchs, thinks the winner of the debate was Russia.”

The new Amazog series, Caped Crusader, has just dropped its first trailer, and… I am NOT happy:
Putting aside the Gamma-bait that is Batman, the fact is, this trailer shows a near-complete perversion of the original, and legendary, Batman: The Animated Series. The fact that Bruce Timm is behind this series, just makes it all the more sad.
Commissioner Gordon has been race-swapped. Alfred is now a lard-ass. Rene Montoya has been turned into the fat Black DMV lady. Harley Quinnn looks like Lizzo crammed into a clown suit.
It looks like they have simply pulled a DEM RANGZ O’ POWAH!!! treatment on the show.

where the LTC Daniel Davis debate take is supposed to be, the FreedomToons vid from a couple of links earlier is repeated.
.
Alex definitely provides the excitement. the way he reaches out and turns the lights off in your head is really something else.
Huh. People actually DO view those gigantic poasts! Amazing…
Thanks – that was my bad, it should be fixed now.
The site of the Assyrian Army getting wrecked by the Destroyer, interesting they build rando encampments out of stone. Those silly Romans just used sticks.
Ancient Near East ‘We’re not the men our forefathers were’ in action
If Trump was allow to be President in 2020 (ie little to no cheating by the Dems), how would Trump treat Ukraine and Russia? Would he had negotiated a deal before a conflict would happen?
had he simply not given Ukraine weapons and flat out said that he intended for Ukraine to join Nato ( ie – restrained Victoria “fvck the EU” Nuland in any way ), it’s very likely that Putin would never have gone into Ukraine.
.
and while the CCP didn’t like Trump’s trade deals that much, the Chinese certainly understand the concept of negotiating and wheeling and dealing. it wouldn’t be the idiotic Creepy Joe strategery of constantly threatening to go to war with our primary manufacturing base over Taiwan.
,’
Trump would still be every bit as pro-Israel though.
Nothing in Russia’s foreign policy stance, pre-2022, indicates this was ever a likely outcome. The Russians made clear back in 2012 to William Burns that they would not tolerate ANY form of NATO entry for Ukraine. If the Trumpasaur had tried it, Putin would have invaded Ukraine regardless.
