Monday morning Ides of March

by | Mar 15, 2021 | Mondays | 4 comments

It’s Monday again. As the Russians might say… пиздец блядь нажуй!!! Иди к чёрту!!!

But, it’s not so bad. After all, you have another Great Mondaydact Browser Mulcher to enjoy today. (Oh, and speaking of the Russians, this past weekend saw them celebrating Масленица, the butter festival. It’s quite a wonderful tradition – check it out when you get a chance.)

And, seeing as it is March 15th, today is an important day. You see, no matter how bad your Monday might be, just remember that on this day, about 2,070 years go, a certain legendary Roman general named Julius Caesar got KILLED TO DEATH BY STABIFICATION.

No doubt the Romans needed to implement some serious knife control to prevent such stabbings in the future… Anyone wanna hazard a guess as to how that idea worked out for them?

(Hint: go lookup something called “The Year of Four Emperors”. Weapons control was a moronic idea 2,000 years ago, just as it is today.)

Therefore, let us commemorate the momentous event by enjoying some great moments of Shakespearean drama:

Here’s YouTube’s hardest-working baldie, Simon Wheeler, explaining why the Ides of March matter:

And let’s watch a few gory reenactments of the death of Caesar to remind ourselves of how the great man died:

While we’re at it, let’s look at another great moment in Shakespearean drama – Mark Antony’s famous speech, delivered by Marlon Brando:

And the same speech given by Charlton Heston:

It’s hard to say which one is better. I think that Brando’s take was more powerful and forceful, but clearly the director wanted to keep that scene compact and limited the amount of time spent on the crowd. He also ensured that Brando’s Mark Antony came across as calculating and political. The directorial decisions in the Heston version were very different. In the latter, Heston’s Mark Antony comes across as an honourable man mourning the death of a good friend.


#BasedTucker is based:

Apparently #BasedTucker really pissed off the dot-mil’s publicity departments, including the Marine Corps.

The fact that the Marines, possibly the last serious combat-oriented part of the US military, responded like that, should tell you exactly how poor America’s prospects are for winning the next serious war.

Tulsi Gabbard is a Daemoncrat and as such her policy ideas are generally absurd. BUT, she is a very rare creature – an honest Daemoncrat.


Mark Dice clearly OWNS the helium-voiced soyboy Gamma Brian Stelter, and he knows it:


Dave from Blue Collar Logic looks at the troubles befuddling Fredo’s older brother, Don Cuomo:

A Daemoncrat screws up, tries to cover up his mistakes, and people die in the process. Why am I not even slightly surprised?

And Jason may want to invest in some body armour and a Scooby Doo-style monster outfit after mocking the Hilldebeast for her staggering stupidity:


Bill Whittle is not interested in your virtue-signalling idiocy about your sexual identity:


Our Israeli friend The Male Brain is back with plenty of interesting videos to put a big smile on your face this Monday. We start, as ever, with some great stuff from JP Sears:

John Stossel asks whether it’s a good idea to put vaccine distribution into the hands of the gubmint:

This kind of misses the point about whether the mRNA vaccines, in particular, are safe and effective. The fact that the never-to-be-sufficiently-cursed whorenalists and presstitutes are heavily suppressing any attempts to question the Official Narrative about vaccines, should tell you a lot about the safety of those vaccines.

But his basic point is valid. Putting vaccine distribution in the hands of the gubmint is a great way to ensure bottlenecks and delays.

Some… uh… woman? I think? named Sabine Hossefelder investigates the possibility of developing actual really-for-real warp drives:

The Daily Signal looks at the case of a doctor trying to warn us all about the dangers of normalising transgenderism – aka extreme mental illness:

St. Efan of Molly-Nukes is back, and he’s just as incisive and insightful as ever:

The big problem with Stefan Molyneux is that he has made it VERY clear that he will never fight when deplatformed. His anarchocapitalist atheist views make him unable to understand that there is, in fact, a point where you have to stand and fight.


Paul Ramsey looks at the latest round of blithering idiocy to come from Harry and the Half-Blood Princess:

I think that Mr. Ramsey is correct to castigate the Ginger Whinger as a willingly castrated Beta male. He really is. It’s pathetic to watch. And the interview itself has gone down like a plate of cold sick over here in PommieBastardLande. It turns out that the British public will not tolerate Princess Caringslut’s attempts to paint them as a bunch of stuffy old racists, and is fiercely protective of the monarchy.

The problem is that Britain is so extremely politically correct that the public and the presstitutes here absolutely fell over themselves trying to make Princess Caringslut feel welcome. In reality, anyone with even HALF a working brain and the sense that God gave a honey badger could figure out that the Ginger Whinger’s wedding to a half-black well-ridden divorcee C-list actress was an utter train-wreck waiting to happen.

Unfortunately, common sense is evidently anything but common, so those of us blessed enough with a minute quantity of it have had to endure this transatlantic soap opera for three years and counting. And It’s not going to get any better anytime soon. Apparently Duchess Caringslut there is mulling a run for the Presidency – God help us all.

On the other hand… that would make Harry the first First Dude with direct lineage to the Royal Family, and that might result in the restoration of monarchical rule to the land of the heathen rebel colonists…

I realise that praising such a thing might well result in a number of my readers wanting to shoot me if I ever set foot on American soil. Rest assured that I do not support the idea, given that the House of Windsor has proven itself to be singularly useless at protecting England from being overthrown and conquered by foreigners. As bad as the Fake-President is, he’s still marginally better at defending the border than the Queen of England is.


PJW points out a truth thta should be obvious, but apparently is not:


Lord Razor of the Fist Clan lays out a cogent, powerfully argued and OMIGOD IS THAT A DOGGO IN THERE HOW ADORABLE IS THAT!!!:


The Dizzle collaborates with his good friend Al-Fadi from CIRA International to show how the most obvious false prophet in human history was very far from the champion of women’s rights that the Fake Religion of Peace would like you to believe he was:


Dr. Jay Smith from PfanderFilms admits to making a mistake in ascribing pre-Islamic Arab trade to the port city of Jeddah, and goes deep into the true history of the region:

The striking conclusion to draw from all of this is that, once again, this research absolutely DESTROYS the entire silly Standard Islamic Narrative about the origins of the Fake Religion of Peace. There is simply NOTHING to support that story.

There never was an Arabic prophet named Muhammad born in Mecca. There WAS a Lakhmid Arabic king named Ilyas ibn Qabisah al-Tayaye who went by the nom de guerre of Muhammad. But overall, the entire narrative is a lie and nothing about Islam’s historical claims can be supported by actual data and evidence.


Al-Fadi from CIRA International is really talking to the big guns in the world of historical criticism of Islam, as he has Mel from Sneaker’s Corner on his show to explain some of the more obscure aspects of Islam’s true origins:


Here is a SUPERB lecture from 2014 by Dr. Frank Turek from Cross Examined, explaining why Our Lord Jesus Christ was, in fact, intolerant:

The Churchian “Jesus” that the Tolerance and Diversity crowd wants us to worship is an ABOMINATION. That is a false god, and all who bow down before that idol will be cursed to damnation.

The REAL Jesus, the TRUE God, was and is a WARRIOR. He is a KING. He is LORD.

And He absolutely hates evil. He is utterly intolerant of it. He has no patience for those who unrepentantly worship evil.


China Uncensored asks whether Taiwan can really stand up to a full-scale invasion by the Chinese (answer: HELLS NAW!, or whatever the Formosan equivalent of gangstaspeak is):


America Uncovered looks at the ongoing attempts to recall Clownipornia’s idiot governor:


Jared Taylor from American Renaissance has some very unflattering, and truthful, things to say about the Fake President’s attempts to turn America into the Dirt World:


Somewhat related – how do you go to an American high school and get a 0.13 GPA?!?!? Anthony Brian Logan explains:

Well, that’s Baltimore for you – Black-run, Black-majority, Black-dominated city. Are you surprised?

I’m a strong believer in the idea that your schooling should never get in the way of your education. As far as I’m concerned, schools are basically indoctrination camps for smart kids to brainwash them into being stupid. I’ve learned more from the School of Extremely Hard Knocks than I ever did from high school.

But… I learned rigour, discipline, and honour in very large part from going to an elite private school in Australia that prized academic achievement above all else.

There IS value in sending a smart kid to a school that pushes him really hard. That plainly is not happening in Black America.

We could go much deeper than that into the story, but I’ll have to leave it there for now. Listen to my podcast from yesterday to understand why these myths about Black people need to be challenged.

Jesse “The Body” Ventura once found out firsthand why it is a VERY bad idea to mess around with an uber-Alpha like Ahhhhnuhld:


Your “Science is F***ING WEIRD” moment of the week is from Dawn Pine, and it’s all about how our existing carbon dating methods might be off by as much as 20%, primarily because of the way that Solar storms affect radioactive isotope decay:

Solar neutrino detection is known to be a very challenging task, due to the minuscule absorption cross-section and mass of the neutrino. One research showed that relative large solar-flares affected the decay-rates of Mn-54 in December 2006. Since most the radiation emitted during a solar flare are blocked before reaching the earth surface, it should be assumed that such decay-rate changes could be due to neutrino flux increase from the sun, in which only neutrinos can penetrate the radionuclide.This study employs the Rn-222 radioactive source for the task of solar flare detection, based on the prediction that it will provide a stable gamma ray counting rate. In order to ascertain counting stability, three counting systems were constructed to track the count-rate changes.The Rn-222 count-rate measurements showed several radiation counting dips, indicating that the radioactive nuclide can be affected by order of magnitude neutrino flux change from the sun. We conclude that using the cooled Radon source obtained the clearest responses, and therefore this is the preferable system for detecting neutrino emissions from a controlled source.


Your long read of the week is also from The Male Brain, and looks at Lord Winston Churchill’s highly prophetic warning about the descent of the Iron Curtain across Europe:

In a remarkable moment of candor, Mikhail Gorbachev, who presided over the dissolution of the Soviet Union, endorsed the central message of Churchill’s speech in his farewell address on Christmas Day, 1991. The Cold War, “the totalitarian system,” “the mad militarization” that “crippled our economy, public attitudes and morals” — it all had come to an end, and there was no turning back. “I consider it vitally important to preserve the democratic achievements which have been attained in the last few years,” he said. “We have paid with all our history and tragic experience for these democratic achievements, and they are not to be abandoned, whatever the circumstances, and whatever the pretexts.”

Seventy-five years ago, Churchill dared to imagine such an outcome. But it depended upon these two great democratic allies, Great Britain and the United States, sharing a “faith in each other’s purpose, hope in each other’s future, and charity towards each other’s shortcomings.” And, with history as a guide, such an outcome would not arrive without a supreme effort of national will. “If all British moral and material forces and convictions are joined with your own in fraternal association,” he said, “the highroads of the future will be clear, not only for us but for all, not only for our time, but for a century to come.”

Churchill had a LOT of faults. World War II was a conflict that perhaps never even needed to take place, at least not the way it did, were it not for Churchill’s glory-hound instincts.

But he is a much more complicated character than the historical caricatures suggest. He was absolutely right, for instance, that if the Allies had only stood up to Hitler in 1933, when the Nazis marched into the Sudetenland, everything that followed could have been avoided. This, even as he was absolutely wrong that Hitler wanted war with Britain – ol’ Adolf categorically wanted to avoid that outcome and hoped to keep Britain out of any war on the Continent. He actually quite admired the Limeys and wanted primarily to reunite Germany’s historical territories in preparation for expansion into Eastern Europe.

That’s the truth about Hitler and WWII that they don’t teach you in high school. You really have to educate yourself to find all of that stuff out.

Which is why, of course, you should never let your schooling get in the way of your actual education.

Let’s have a few more insane moments with the HALO physics engine:

He also talks about the possibility of Battle Royale mode in the next HALO game:

Personally, I think the idea of any sort of BR other than a Battle Rifle in a HALO game is EFFING RETARDED. But it doesn’t really matter to me, because I don’t play multiplayer.

What do y’all think? I’d particularly welcome feedback from fellow HALOniacs and l33t-speakers lynch and MrUNIVAC in the comments.

Comedy hour with a bunch of good stuff from Dawn Pine:

Here’s my contribution for the week:

Also – here is a compilation of some of the best ever ad-lib scenes by the late, great Robin Williams:

The man was a true comedy genius, and the world certainly became a darker place when he took his own life. Everyone who has ever worked or interacted with him says the same thing – that he was a man with a heart of gold. As for why he killed himself… well, we all speculate, but, as our good friend Terrence Popp points out, it likely had to do with money and women, and the ways in which the latter in his life took all of the former.

#HeavyMetalStrikesBack

Space Metal is one of the greatest heavy metal albums ever recorded. Every single song on it is amazing. Get it if you can.


I’m usually very sceptical about metal medleys – but this guy Dan Vasc absolutely SLAYS with this medley of 10 awesome power metal songs, some of which are my all-time favourites in the genre:

And here’s the same dude making a manly classic from the Devil Mouse – y’know, back when that woke wankfest of a company actually respected men, at least somewhat – even more manly:


And now, after quite a lot of cocking about, here is your Instathot to get your week off to the right start. Credit for finding this particular young lady goes to Kim du Toit, who noticed this headline about a Scottish model named Emilly Hawthorne, age just 20 (seriously, she’s a wee little bairn by my standards), from a place called Longniddry in East Lothian. His response to her crying about bullying and trolling – at the hands of women, no less – is a classic.

As for Ms Hawthorne herself, she is actually a proper model, in that she has in fact done legit modelling work for at least one firm. Whether she is any good at it remains to be seen and is not for me to decide – feel free to have your say in the comments below.

The funny thing about her “ordeal” with respect to bullying and online trolling is that almost all of it happened at the hands of women who were SEVERELY OFFENDED!!!!111!! at the fact that she was sitting in a Japanese restaurant with her (giant, awesome, bouncy, lovely, etc.) boobs practically falling into her sushi dinner. You wouldn’t know that women did most of the bullying if you read the article, of course – it IS written by a whorenalist, after all, the kind who deserves a one-way free helicopter ride, as most of them do – but that’s what it says, in plain English:

What was genuinely dreadful was that most of the comments were from women, saying rude things and tagging their friends. I was always taught that women should support women, so to see the harsh comments from females was horrible.

There you have it, gentlemen, straight from the horse’s mouth (so to speak – I SERIOUSLY had to resist the temptation to stick a homonym for “horse” in there, by the way). Women are nasty toward each other – as any reasonably attractive woman will tell you.

Don’t feel too sorry for her, though – she has managed to parlay her story into international attention, which is now firmly fixed on her very obviously artificial assets. Women love attention and will get it any way that they can – and anyone who thinks otherwise has never actually interacted with an attractive woman.

At any rate, there you are. Now off to work with ye – the gigantic Scamdemic bills that your national governments have run up won’t pay themselves off, that’s why they need peons like us to do it for them.

And here is the photo that launched a thousand REEEEEES:

    I’m with ABL. You don’t have any learning by 3-4 years old, you are already behind. And if you don’t have math and language basics, especially reading by 3rd grade, school gets harder and harder.

    Having an educated mom, and a father in the house, teaching you from birth is one of the cornerstones of why whites and asians do as well as they do. Often termed “white privilege”

    In my world, at 18, you are done. Not sent back to 9th grade. You’re on your own. Maybe a 501c charity will pay for your GED. There are some hard lessons coming his way. EH could luck out and become and ED&I resource in an HR department, I suppose.

    And here, ABL is wrong. He can’t go into the military. They probably won’t take him without a HS diploma or GED. BTW nor will any trades dudes. I had a plumber come to fix my sewer drain. An old dude and young dude came out to dig 5+ feet down to it. Old dude was supplementing his SS. Young dude – no HS diploma. The master plumber told me when he showed up.

    Can’t apprentice here without a HS diploma or GED. So he said, that’s what you do. You dig. All day, every day. You mow lawns, you scrub toilets. If you’re lucky you flip burgers.

    But the kid has failed the first test of any job – the ability to show up every day and work at something. He’s probably never done it.

    Now I’ll have to dig out my Rome DVDs and watch them all again. Thanks a lot!

    What a great freakin’ show. Well-produced, well-acted, well-plotted, and generally just tons of fun to watch, especially if you’re a history geek like me. I wish I had a real-life friend like Titus Pullo.

    I wouldn’t be surprised to see a Battle Royale in Halo Infinite, especially since the multiplayer will be free-to-play. I personally can’t stand Battle Royale type games though — they feel much too random and too big. Whereas even in a BTB game you have defined starting points and weapon locations, in B.R. games your entry point is not guaranteed nor are weapon locations. Bleh.

    Part of the fun of playing Halo multiplayer on a non-casual level is map knowledge, including routes and tricks for getting the key weapons / vehicles. The rush for the Banshee on Sandtrap, for example. Everything on Standoff as another. Being able to have solid team strategies for a map for group work / team-BR’ing enemies / getting a flag back to base, etc. That’s all strategy and teamwork styles that fly in the face of a Battle Royale game. Team battle royale games are also screwy because there’s no respawning so there’s not a lot of coming back once you lose a teammate or two. I’m also not sure Halo’s longer time to kill would work well in a B.R.

    To me and most folks I know / play with, Halo is at its core a great team battle game. Yes, the free-for-all games can be fun, but the heart and soul is 4v4 or 8v8. I hope they don’t screw that up.

    Brando > Heston in this case. Gave me chills.

    The Popp video on tools is a good one. Sent me on a tool acquisition spree for the boomsticks today after considering his material. Much more useful and calm than his regular bombastic high-five spree.

    I think the queen has lost her fastball and Meghan knows it. In a herd of wolves the alpha would take on the challenger and the challenger would win. Sheer Kahn takes over from Akela and all. There’s gotta be a female comparable when the matron looses her dominance to the upstart in-law chick.
