Well, 2025 is now firmly in the rear-view mirror, and given how insane the first FIVE DAYS of 2026 have been, I have a sneaking feeling that most of us will be asking if we can get it back, despite how nuts that year was. We just witnessed the US government basically bribe the entire top leadership of a country, then fly its special forces operators in with total impunity while that country’s air defences stood down, and kidnap its President in front of the entire world.
The brazen ballsiness of it rivals only the utter hypocrisy. Never again should anyone ever listen to an American lecture the rest of the world about the “rules-based international order”. The rules clearly amount to, “you do what we say, or we destroy you with military force”. We now live once more in a world where the strong do what they want, and the weak do what they must. This is the absolute antithesis of what America’s Founders wanted for their new country, but that is now what we have – the Power of the Rods and the Axe, the use of raw, naked force to resolve all key issues.
Well, so be it. Americans are going to discover in the coming years that they are no longer the only ones who can play that game. Indeed, the Russians have been proving in Ukraine just how bad the West is at applying truly lethal force over sustained periods. And Amerikhastan gave the Communist Party of China the perfect excuse to simply walk into Taiwan and conquer it for its own purposes, given how flimsy and ridiculous the American pretext over Venezuela appears.
But let us park all that for a moment. It is, after all, Monday – the very first Monday of the new year. Given that fact, and given that many of us have to be back at work – rather reluctantly, it must be said – we could all use a good distraction.
So let us start with some interesting videos about forgotten action heroes:

- For those who like steak, here is some serious beef for you;
- A bunch of Western countries cancelled their NYE events, but almost none of them are telling us the real reason why โ and it is called IZZLAM;

- The Swiss Cheeses have rather belatedly realised that they are in fact a tenth-rate military power;
- Scientific fraud is not only endemic, it is growing, and it is becoming something of an institutionalised process;
- In your โBitches Be Batshit Crazyโ news, a woman from Utah (go figure) abducted her 4 children and absconded to YURP, because she feared the โEnd Timesโ;
- The military in Egypt has been in charge for quite some time, and they seem to run most of it, really;

- In a relatively rare display of good sense, the Trump Administration has cut off all childcare payments to Minnesota after the exposure of massive fraud in that state โ caused by Somalis, unsurprisingly;
- An ex-Olympian had all her motorcycles confiscated, because reasons;
- A socialite who put out a hit on her husband was clearly having mental issues, because she offed herself shortly afterwards;
- A French (go figure) startup dedicated to making us EAT ZE BUGZ has gone bankrupt, and good bloody riddance;
- Iran has reacted to Canuckistanโs decision to label the IRGC as a terrorist entity, by calling the Canadian Navy the same thing โ which is hilarious when you realise the Canucki Navy amounts to basically a bunch of rubber duckies;

That “why bleck women are bad girlfriends/wives” cracked me up. You got a fat, bald, older black woman with dumb glasses woman-splainin’ why black dudes don’t want a stronk bleck woman. He didn’t need to show any trailers, just let her talk.
I saw a video way back when ‘officer tatum’ first got started explaining why he had a white wife. It’s simple. Every woman other than black women treat them better. Simple as that. Dudes don’t want a competitor or a woman around them with masculine energy.
Most grow up without fathers. So as the late great Kevin Samuels would say in the process of telling his callers that successful black men wanted wives, “So, you never learned how to be a wife”. This is probably why many of them prefer fat white chicks to black. Black women are on the dead bottom of the sexual marketplace. Who’s on top? Asian women. Nearly all men preferred them.
And FWIW, Red Lobster always sucked. It’s demise was way overdue. I was on a trip with a Canadian colleague, and we hit a Red Lobster. It was packed. The dude says, “This place is very crowded, it must be good”. No, it isn’t, I said. It means there’s no other places around. I’ll never forget sitting at the bar next to a dude drinking a strawberry daquiri. The bartender goes to load up the machine and plops a bag on the bar – “Neutral base slush mix”. Dude looks at the pack, then at his drink, then at the pack. It was hilarious. Probably all plastic.
