Here we go again. Monday – and what a dreary day it is today. I’ve already had to deal with incompetence, confusion, and general cock-ups, and I haven’t even had my second cup of coffee yet. Days like this are just the cherry on top of a crap-sundae of irritations and silliness, eh?
And, while the Great Mondaydact Browser Buster is of course here to make things just a bit less grim and awful, let’s face facts – we had some quite grim and awful news that hit us late last week.
Legendary rock singer Meat Loaf has died, according to an announcement posted on his official Facebook page. He was 74.
“Our hearts are broken to announce that the incomparable Meat Loaf passed away tonight with his wife Deborah by his side,” the post said. “Daughters Pearl and Amanda and close friends have been with him throughout the last 24 hours.”
Meat Loaf was reportedly “seriously ill” with COVID-19 just days before his death.
Born Marvin Lee Aday in Dallas, Texas, in 1947, Meat Loaf began acting and singing in school productions. He moved to Los Angeles after his mother’s death in 1965.
In Los Angeles, Meat Loaf spent his time pursuing careers in both acting and music. He had a brief stint recording for Motown, and opened for touring bands including the Who and the Grateful Dead.
I am not actually a big fan of Meat Loaf, personally. But I have to admit, the big lug did have a certain flair for the dramatic:
My first actual introduction to Meat Loaf’s music came from TEH GREATEST TV SHOW OF ALL TIME, back when they went in search of the greatest driving song ever. Suffice to say, the Three Wazzateers REALLY hate Meat Loaf:
Like I said, I was never a big fan. But I have to admit, the man had STYLE.
Rest in peace, Meat.
#BasedTucker is based – with full-length episodes now, via BitChute, I got sick of FAUX cutting out all of the best bits. The downside, though, is that BitChute’s embedding process is quite a lot uglier and less user-friendly than YouTube’s, so, at the suggestion of a friend, I will try to add some captions to help you distinguish between them.

There is an extraordinarily attractive Dutch blonde legal philosopher – so, “Legally Blonde” IRL – who shows up at about the 28min mark on the Tuesday edition of TCT. Just another reason to watch the show, really.

Speaking of the Legally Blonde girl that appeared on #BasedTucker‘s show – she’s just 26, so from my perspective she’s basically just a kid, yet one with her head screwed on rather well – let’s see what made Eva Vlaardingerbroek famous:
All that and brains too – my kind of woman.

LRFotS (and serious wH40K addict) Randale6 also sent over some good stuff for today, starting with a hilarious one from Flashgitz that combines all of the grimdark of WARHAMMER 40,000 with all of the batshit craziness of the Furry movement:

Mark Dice sure as shit ain’t buyin’ M&Ms no more:
I can’t say I ever understood the point of M&Ms, personally, but then, my idea of “sugary candy” involves squares of dark chocolate that are between 70% and 85% in cacao content.
Jason Siler is amused by the Daemoncrats’ insistence on tilting at windmills:
Jew-boy Chuck Stupid and fake Catholic Skeletor Pelosi are living proof that term limits are not only a good idea, they are VITAL to the survival of anything approaching a representative democracy. (Which the USA no longer is, and hasn’t been for quite some time, with the notable exception of 2016-2020.)
Bill Whittle comments on the unholy alliances between what should be natural enemies, to control and corrupt you:
Paul Ramsey has some good hope and cheer for all of us:
And so does the other Paul – PJW, who notes taht the Scamdemic is, effectively, over at this point:
They are both absolutely correct. WE WON. The COVID-1984 authoritarians tried to break our will as purebloods. And they FAILED. We are still here. We are still resisting. And we are beating them like unwanted stepchildren – which is actually vastly better than the fate that they actually deserve, which would, in my personal opinion, involve sharpened stakes and pig fat.
The lovely and charming Dr. Sam Bailey is deeply sceptical about the notion that gain-of-function research actually happened at the Wuhan Institute of Virology:

Al-Fadi from CIRA International was extremely busy last week, with a number of interviews and specials, so it’s hard to pick just one or two videos from the lot, but his interview with Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn – yes, that Mike Flynn – is definitely worth watching:
Dr. Frank Turek from Cross Examined is rather unimpressed by the idea that there are a bunch of secret books of the Bible that nobody has ever seen or heard about:
China Uncensored has some genuinely horrific stories to tell from the people under the boot of the CCP, who have routinely lied about the origins of the WuFlu, locked up and brutalised their own people in pursuit of a “Zero COVID” strategy, and blatantly falsified their own casualty numbers:

Maybe that narcissistic little gnome should have taken some tech support tips from the HIlldebeast to figure out how to use BleachBit, eh?
Jared Taylor from American Renaissance is not in the least bit impressed by Alexandria Occaisonal-Cortex‘s rack, because the moment that she opens her mouth about the causes of the major spike in crime that America is seeing today, she reveals herself to be unbelievably stupid:
Terrence Popp points out that women are bringing ever less to the table, while demanding ever more from us as men:
Along those same lines, Joker from Better Bachelor makes a meal out of an old joke – and makes a very good set of points in the process:
Overlord Dicktor Van Doomcock hoists the flag of victory as the Devil Mouse’s new Chairman – a woman – apparently tells its senior executives, in absolutely no uncertain terms, to STOP WITH THE WOKE WANKERY already:
The interesting thing is that the new Chairman is a card-carrying member of the LGBTQWTFISTHISSHIT coalition of lunatics and degenerates. Yet, she seems to have quite a lot of solid business sense. And she seems to have no patience for wokery. Things are getting VERY interesting at the House of the Devil Mouse – which is one of the world’s most heavily financialised companies, and desperately needs to make real profits again to cover for its massive debts.
The Drinker looks back fondly at Pierce Brosnan‘s tenure as 007, starting with Goldeneye, which was really rather good:
Your “Science is F***ING WEIRD” moment of the week is from Dawn Pine is about how DNA mutations might not be quite as random as you might think:
A simple roadside weed may hold the key to understanding and predicting DNA mutation, according to new research from University of California, Davis, and the Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology in Germany.
The findings, published January 12 in the journal Nature, radically change our understanding of evolution and could one day help researchers breed better crops or even help humans fight cancer.
Mutations occur when DNA is damaged and left unrepaired, creating a new variation. The scientists wanted to know if mutation was purely random or something deeper. What they found was unexpected.
“We always thought of mutation as basically random across the genome,” said Grey Monroe, an assistant professor in the UC Davis Department of Plant Sciences who is lead author on the paper. “It turns out that mutation is very non-random and it’s non-random in a way that benefits the plant. It’s a totally new way of thinking about mutation.”
Researchers spent three years sequencing the DNA of hundreds of Arabidopsis thaliana, or thale cress, a small, flowering weed considered the “lab rat among plants” because of its relatively small genome comprising around 120 million base pairs. Humans, by comparison, have roughly 3 billion base pairs.
Once again, with feeling, my friends:
The Theory of Evolution by (probably) Natural Selection, has more holes in it than a cheese-grater.
Your long read of the week is an interesting, but rather misguided, article by Lt. Gen. David A. Deptula USAF (Ret.) and Heather Penney about the chronic shortage of real fighter aircraft in the US Air Force:
Responding to threats in a credible, sustainable fashion demands an honest recognition of actual mission demand. The 2018 National Defense Strategy focused on these sorts of threats, but three decades of delayed investment cannot be undone in an instant. Investments that should have been paced over time must now be surged. Indeed, in its quest to free up funds for future buys, the Air Force is on course to shrink its fighter inventory through the 2020s and early 2030s; plans call for retiring 421 fighters through 2026, while only acquiring 304. Divestments will continue to exceed procurement through the end of the decade.
Solutions to these problems are illusive because it is budget shortfalls, not mission requirements, that are driving DOD decision making. Air Force officials say they would need to procure 72 new aircraft per year to replace existing inventory; if the refresh cycle was 20 years, rather than 30 or more, that rises to 97 fighters, just to sustain the legislated minimum fighter force of 1,950 fighter aircraft. Even this rate will fall short, however, if ongoing strategic competition requires more growth. Current funding affords only about 60 fighters per year—too few to meet the demands of the national defense strategy. While Air Force plans for fiscal 2023 are not yet public, it is clear budget pressure risks eroding these totals even more.
The divide between real-world requirements and budget allocations represents the differences between a “planning force”—defined as the requisite capacity and capabilities the Air Force needs to fulfill the National Defense Strategy at a reasonable level of risk—and the programmed force—defined as the assets for which the service is actually funded. The gap between the planning force and the programmed force represents risk. In the past, budget documents conveyed this risk to Congress and the American public, but that practice was terminated in the late 1990s. It is time to resume this practice. Problems cannot be solved unless they are acknowledged and quantified. Just because the service cannot afford to meet a requirement does not invalidate the existence of the requirement. Congress deserves to understand the risks their budgets are causing.
USAF presently lacks the capacity to fulfill the full range of combatant commander demands, and pressures are not likely to ease in future years. Meanwhile, investment in Air Force fighter procurement faces competition from other near-term, high-cost requirements: nuclear command, control, and communications systems; the Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent to replace USAF’s 400 Minuteman III nuclear missiles; the KC-46 aerial refueling tanker; the B-21 bomber; the MH-139 nuclear missile security and airlift helicopter; the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) fighter; the T-7 trainer, the Advanced Battle Management System enterprise, AWACS replacement, next-generation unmanned aerial vehicle acquisition, and more. Every one of these programs is essential.
Today’s Air Force budget is too small to keep even today’s undersized fighter force inventory. Instead of cannibalizing the fighter force to accommodate budget constraints, Air Force plans and force structure should be based on—and resourced to—strategy and threats.
Unfortunately, the basic solution posited for this chronic shortage of fighter aircraft is…
BUY MORE F-35s!!!!!!
Which, if you think about it, is just a profoundly idiotic suggestion.
The Turducken Plane is a colossal FAILURE in every possible way. It has NO redeeming features and is already proving thoroughly inadequate for ALL of its supposed primary mission roles. It is useless as a strike fighter, it is hopeless as a ground support loitering aircraft, and it is not capable of flying at supersonic speeds far or fast enough to be a proper interceptor. Its dogfighting abilities in close-quarters combat is limited, and it is more than capable of shotting ITSELF down in close-quarters combat, because its cannon shells have been known to EXPLODE near the airframe when exiting the gun barrels.
The only thing the F-35 programme is good at, is spending vast amounts of money on a flying shitheap.
The USAF has already practically admitted that the plane is a failure. That is why it is looking to the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) fighter to “solve” the problems that it introduced for itself with the F-35. The only problem is, the NGAD carries over almost all of the really stupid ideas from the Turducken Project.
The solution to the USAF’s “problem” is actually to accept that the United States of America is no longer capable of being the world’s policeman. The world doesn’t need the US to police every last one of its colonial outposts – it actually largely needs the USA to butt the hell out and stop bloody interfering. The USA is actually a catastrophically unreliable ally.
Linkage is good for you:
- Peter Koenig from Global Research unpacks a “conspiracy theory” about how the entire Scamdemic was planned – which seems a lot less like a conspiracy and more like a plausible explanation with every passing day;

- General Dynamics, which got out of the aircraft business decades ago, has made quite a name for itself as a submarine and tank manufacturer – the latest in the Virginia-class attack sub line is ready, and it’s looking pretty darn good;
- The Russians know a thing or ten about building great fighters and attack aircraft, as the amazing engineering of the Sukhoi Su-34 “Fullback” – also known as the “Hellduck”, for reasons that will be obvious – can tell you;

- The Babylon Bee continues to report the news before it happens by pointing out that questioning The Narrative around the Coof automatically makes you a nutcase;
- The Russians are mulling over a potential ban of all cryptocurrencies – I don’t think it’s going to happen, but it is worth taking a few minutes to understand what they are up to, and why;
- If you’ve ever bothered to keep track of what happens to PR0N stars when they give up the profession, you’ll notice that they tend to end up strung out and dead, or married to Beta shlubs and then rapidly divorced;
- And speaking of strumpets, here’s one of the strumpiest of the lot – Kate Moss’s younger sister, Lottie, who identifies as a “pansexual”, which really should just be translated as “nucking futs and down to bang ANYONE”;
- My readers in PommieBastardLande will be all-too-familiar with a walking train-wreck known as Katie Price, aka Jordan, who used to be a glamour model, but now is a testament to a lifetime of bad choices – yet still gets away with blind idiocy;

And some more from Dawn Pine:
- Some wag/genius came up with a crazy/brilliant idea to create a virtually indestructible “black box” on Earth to record the history of our species – because we appear to be far too stupid to survive our own idiocies;
- Women aren’t just crazy, they are also jealous – and brides are crazier and more jealous even than regular women, especially if you’re a bridesmaid in a sexy dress;
- Tell us again about how Dindus are totally peaceful and nice and would never hurt anyone – like, say, that Asian woman who worked at Deloitte and got pushed off a subway platform by a vibrant and diverse Dindu, just for giggles;
- Even in ancient times (going back to Solomon), Israel really was a “startup nation” when it came to copper-mining and smithing, and yet again, modern archaeology proves that THE BIBLE IS A HIGHLY ACCURATE BOOK OF HISTORY;

- There’s a rather sad and terrible story running around about a post-Wall Indonesian woman who allegedly killed her British boyfriend, and holy shit but she is terrifying to look at, and that’s before you read about her;
- The provincial government of Ontario, led by a pothead named Rob Ford, is apparently so hopeless that it is losing money from online CASINOS setup in the state – and you REALLY have to f**k things up to lose money in that industry;
- A lot of very dumb people out there don’t really understand that, when you tax “the rich” to give to everyone else, you inevitably end up hurting the very people you are trying to help;
- It’s a slow news day over at The Sun, which is why they’re wasting their time trying to figure out how much time we blokes spend staring at hot women’s boobs and butts;

The Neo-Tsar‘s foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, is very nearly as wise and eloquent as his boss:
History lessons of the week:
Your Great Man of the Week is the late second President of Indonesia, Suharto:
I have more than a passing interest in that subject. I lived in Indonesia at the time of Suharto’s last years of power – my family had to flee Indonesia to escape the riots and violence during his fall, in fact. I got to see firsthand how the corruption, nepotism, cronyism, and incompetence of the regime resulted in violent revolution and anarchy when the country’s loose-by-default monetary peg to the USD came unravelled.

Your “Bad Sushi” moment of the week:
Your “People Spent Good Money On This Study” moment of the week:
Your aminules are adorkable moment of the week:
And also your animals are absolute DICKS moment of the week, to balance things out:
Gym beast props for the week definitely go to Jamal Browner:
When Eddie “The Beast” Hall pulled 500Kg conventionally with loops and a power suit, I thought that would not be possible to break easily. Yet here we are, just a few years later, and already people are attempting 500+ Kg with less equipment.
I mean, granted, that’s sumo deadlifting, not conventional, but it’s still hugely impressive.
Wise Uncle Chael the American Gangster made a prediction about UFC 270 which, for once, actually came true:
Final scorecard for that fight: 48-47, 49-46. It wasn’t close. At all.

#BloodMetalLegions
And here we are, finally, at the Instathot of this Monday. In suitable fashion, for such a not-nice day, here’s an Instathot known for spicy modelling and films, via OnlySimps, Playboy, and various other similar sites. This is Gloria Sol, real name unknown, age 26 from Kiev, Ukraine. In true Gen-Z fashion, she has figured out how to create a non-fungible token (NFT) based on her “body” (pun intended) of work, which I suspect will be snapped up pretty quickly. If you check on the page itself, you’ll find that someone offered 0.0512 Ethereum for that NFT, which translates to about US$124.
So, y’know, simps gonna simp, is all we can say.
OK, boys, show’s over, back to work – unless you’re a hot babe under the age of 35, in which case you can create NFTs literally out of your ass and sell them for 0.05 ETH online.
