That weekend went by pretty bloody fast, didn’t it? And now we find ourselves confronted by the great and terrible horror that is Monday. But, as ever, the Great Mondaydact Browser Cruncher is here to make it all better – or, at least, a little more bearable. (Spare a thought for yer very ‘eavy, very ‘umble ‘ost for putting it all together, by the way, because EVERYTHING hurts right now. The heavy-bag workout on Saturday and the lifting-heavy-shit workout yesterday were pure murder – which just tells me that I’m getting really old.)
But enough grumbling from me – since it’s Monday, there is more than enough grumpiness to go around. Let’s start off this one with something a little more cheerful.
You see, a bunch of truckers in the Great Frozen North have finally decided to take things into their own hands and stand up to Canuckistan’s Prime Soyboy, Justine Bieber Truvada. And, honestly, it’s actually very funny to watch the supposed “leader” of one of the most cucked-out nations on Earth trying to sound tough and convincing in the face of entirely justified opposition:
It took a very long time, but finally, the most supine and cowed of Western nations are beginning to fight back against the Branch Covidians. In Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Holland, France, Germany, and Italy, massive protests have erupted against plans by the governments of those countries to impose vaccine mandates and lockdowns.
It is still too late, in many ways, because in all honesty, the mandates were a trial run for the next great crisis.
What will that crisis look like? It will almost surely be a financial one that requires a complete harmonisation of the global monetary system through a concept called Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). This is something that I might have to explain in some detail

The Male Brain has some great stuff for us this week. We start with an exploration from MattColbo about what GenZ will be like as parents, when their time comes:
Obviously, that’s assuming that we live that long, which, given the epic stupidity of the human race, is an open question at this point. But I have some hope that GenZyklon will be CONSIDERABLY more based than their Shrillennial and Boomer parents and grandparents.
Do you like donuts? Can you drive fast cars? Are you fond of American muscle cars? And can you deal with the fact that the Damn Yankees can’t seem to figure out how to build a car that can go around a corner? If so, Dodge has your absolute dream job lined up for you:
All things considered… that’s pretty awesome.
ReasonTV explains that those who don’t learn from past stupidity and the dangers of unintended consequences, tend to get bitten in the ass quite badly by them:
Academy of Ideas unpacks the dogma of government, and exposes the High Priests of the Swamp:
Eat Trade Travel – interesting channel name – shows the true secret of the Fake Administration, and once you see it, you won’t be able to unsee it:
Mark Dice puts on his Serious Hat for a bit:
Dave from Blue Collar Logic reflects on the accuracy of his predictions about Sleepy Creepy Slow Old Fake Joe:
And his buddy and sometime colleague Jason Siler looks at the Fake President’s cranky hot-mic moment:
Bill Whittle and his friends reckon that the God-Emperor might just have stopped war between the USA and Russia:
There is a LOT wrong with their analysis, of several things, but their basic point is correct. The Fake President isn’t actually going to be President for very much longer.
That said, American conservatives REALLY need to get over this notion that Hitler actually wanted a war with Britain. He didn’t. He specifically wanted to reunite German territories lost at Versailles, and then he wanted to expand eastwards to create a militarised empire that would divide the European continent between him and Stalin. He specifically wanted to create a big buffer zone between himself and the Soviets, because he didn’t trust the Georgian any more than Stalin trusted the wienerschnitzel. And he was RIGHT not to trust Stalin, because as it turns out, the Reds WERE, in fact, preparing to invade Western Europe with a level of force never seen before in human history.
Neville Chamberlain did, indeed, reveal that Britain was too weak to defend Europe during the conference at Munich in 1938. Hitler simply saw that Britain could be safely ignored – and did precisely that.
Americans, especially consevatives, also really need to get over this notion that Vladimir Putin is some sort of megalomaniacal tyrant who wants to restore the USSR. That’s absolute and utter bullshit, and Putin himself has so stated on numerous occasions that the Soviet Union was actually a disaster for the Russian people, as well as for the subjected peoples of the Evil Empire. Putin wants a strong, free, respected, independent Russia that maintains its own sphere of influence and isn’t bothered by other powers, while respecting their sovereignty in return.
In other words – he’s exactly what American and British “conservatives” claim to be, but rarely are in practice. For all of his authoritarianism – and there isn’t much of it – he is in fact a moderate pragmatist who quite happily lets a largely free-market, classically liberal society flourish at home. He simply demands that you don’t criticise him beyond a certain point.
In this regard, he is actually considerably better about handling criticism than almost any Daemoncrat, and most Republicucks too.
Paul Ramsey is greatly amused by the prospect of American trannies and women fighting against the Russian Bear:
PJW isn’t a fan of Neil Young‘s virtue-signalling and pathetic cucking:
I can’t say I was ever a fan of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young myself. With very few exceptions – DEEP PURPLE, THE WHO, and a couple of others – I don’t care much for Boomer music. So I am thoroughly unimpressed by Young’s temper tantrum.
I can’t say I ever really understood the appeal of Woodstock, either.
The lovely and charming Dr. Sam Bailey waxes philosophical about a very pertinent issue:
It pains me to say this, as someone who has both good friends and very close family members in the medical profession, but it is quite true – DO NOT trust your doctor.
Seriously, just don’t. Most GPs actually do not take the time or trouble to stay “up” on the latest medical research, and few of them that work for big hospitals and medical networks have the courage – or independence of mind – to question the official narrative.
Think about it. If you’re a doctor in the American healthcare system, and you have to deal with the completely corrupt and Byzantine bureaucracy of the typical insurance company, would you deviate from their approved methods and treatments? Especially if the consequences for failing to toe the party line mean that you will not be reimbursed, and even threatened with lawsuits for malpractice by your own insurer?

Dr. Jay Smith from PfanderFilms is back with Odon Lafontaine, unpacking the origins of the Koranic text:
It is very clear, from all of the evidence accumulated at this point, that the original “proto-Koran” was actually a set of Christian lectionaries in the Syro-Aramaic language. When translated into Arabic, however, the original beauty and poetry of those lectionaries was bastardised and corrupted completely, and the Persians, under the Abbasids, made insertions and additions that further corrupted that text.
Al-Fadi from CIRA International and Dr. Jay Smith expand considerably upon the points made above about the Syro-Aramaic Christian lectionaries that made up the early Koranic text:
Dr. Frank Turek from Cross Examined dismantles the entire concept of the multiverse, as explicated by M-theory:
Far too many modren “physicists” run away from the entire concept of an uncaused first cause – which is not even within an hundred miles of the Christian concept of God – simply because it is uncomfortable for them and their scientism dogmas. But the reality is that the deeper you look at the structure and evolution of the Universe, the more it becomes absolutely and inescapably obvious that there was a beginning, and a creation event.
China Uncensored notes that the CCP has a very serious debt problem, and I think they are right:
I have had the privilege of speaking with a number of experts in monetary theory and practice in my life. I spoke to one recently who pointed out that the Chinese banking and monetary systems are actually SERIOUSLY messed up, and the practice of Chinese regulators is simply to avoid dealing with the problem and kick the can down the road for the next poor schmuck.
That is Chinese culture and mindset – don’t rock the boat, don’t stand tall, don’t do anything out of the ordinary, just go along to get along. That is actually an effective mindset, MOST of the time, because it results in a consensus-driven civilisation that can do great things. But it ALSO results in technological and cultural stagnation – which is EXACTLY what happened to the Chinks throughout their entire history, and will happen to them again, when they can no longer simply steal Western innovations to keep their economy going.
America Uncovered notes that the Daemoncrats may have just gone and shot themselves really badly in the foot (again):
It doesn’t really matter, since Daemoncrats in general actually have a united and coordinated strategy, whereas Republicucks are essentially spineless cowards who don’t do anything to stop them.

The Drinker examines a Very Important Question:
Your “Science is F***ING WEIRD” moment of the week is about two university studies that were absolute wastes of time and money, which went into detailed investigations as to why the people of PommieBastardLande tugged the sausage and flicked the bean WAY more often during lockdown:
Britons masturbated more often during the country’s first Covid lockdown, scientists have found.
A quarter of young adults confessed to pleasuring themselves more frequently at the height of the first wave in spring 2020.
At that time, Britons were living under the most draconian rules seen throughout the pandemic, including being banned from meeting partners they did not live with.
A fifth of respondents admitted to watching more porn during that time, with men more likely to report the increase.
Researchers said people were most likely to attribute the increases to boredom and more free time.
Results were based on a survey of 565 adults aged between 18 and 32, by academics at the universities of Bournemouth and Roehampton.
Men in the UK normally masturbate an average of two to three times per week, while women do so once a week.
Experts had predicted a baby boom following the first lockdown, but it was not seen nine months down the line.
The survey was conducted on adults across the UK during the country’s first lockdown in May 2020.
Published in Sexual Medicine, it found 25.7 per cent of people reported masturbating on their own more often since the start of the nationwide shutdown.
Watching porn alone increased by 19.5 per cent and using a sex toy increased among 8.5 per cent of respondents.
The identities of the volunteers were anonymised in the online survey.
It showed a third of respondents had more sexual fantasies during lockdown than they did prior to the restrictions.
Women (55 per cent) were more likely than men (44 per cent) to report this increase. Men were, however, still more likely to watching pornography in general.
Around 60 per cent of all respondents said they watched explicit adult content during the lockdown. They did not say how many watched it regularly before March 2020.
A third said they hid their porn habits from their other half.
I truly do believe that future generations – by which I mean, kids the age of my niece and younger – will grow up with a seething HATRED of their predecessors who destroyed their lives, minds, and futures. And they will be COMPLETELY justified in their hatred.
Your long read of the week is from The Male Brain, and is a classic piece about how doctors really do die differently from the rest of us:
Almost all medical professionals have seen what we call “futile care” being performed on people. That’s when doctors bring the cutting edge of technology to bear on a grievously ill person near the end of life. The patient will get cut open, perforated with tubes, hooked up to machines, and assaulted with drugs. All of this occurs in the Intensive Care Unit at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars a day. What it buys is misery we would not inflict on a terrorist. I cannot count the number of times fellow physicians have told me, in words that vary only slightly, “Promise me if you find me like this that you’ll kill me.” They mean it. Some medical personnel wear medallions stamped “NO CODE” to tell physicians not to perform CPR on them. I have even seen it as a tattoo.
To administer medical care that makes people suffer is anguishing. Physicians are trained to gather information without revealing any of their own feelings, but in private, among fellow doctors, they’ll vent. “How can anyone do that to their family members?” they’ll ask. I suspect it’s one reason physicians have higher rates of alcohol abuse and depression than professionals in most other fields. I know it’s one reason I stopped participating in hospital care for the last 10 years of my practice.
How has it come to this–that doctors administer so much care that they wouldn’t want for themselves? The simple, or not-so-simple, answer is this: patients, doctors, and the system.
To see how patients play a role, imagine a scenario in which someone has lost consciousness and been admitted to an emergency room. As is so often the case, no one has made a plan for this situation, and shocked and scared family members find themselves caught up in a maze of choices. They’re overwhelmed. When doctors ask if they want “everything” done, they answer yes. Then the nightmare begins. Sometimes, a family really means “do everything,” but often they just mean “do everything that’s reasonable.” The problem is that they may not know what’s reasonable, nor, in their confusion and sorrow, will they ask about it or hear what a physician may be telling them. For their part, doctors told to do “everything” will do it, whether it is reasonable or not.
The above scenario is a common one. Feeding into the problem are unrealistic expectations of what doctors can accomplish. Many people think of CPR as a reliable lifesaver when, in fact, the results are usually poor. I’ve had hundreds of people brought to me in the emergency room after getting CPR. Exactly one, a healthy man who’d had no heart troubles (for those who want specifics, he had a “tension pneumothorax”), walked out of the hospital. If a patient suffers from severe illness, old age, or a terminal disease, the odds of a good outcome from CPR are infinitesimal, while the odds of suffering are overwhelming. Poor knowledge and misguided expectations lead to a lot of bad decisions.
But of course it’s not just patients making these things happen. Doctors play an enabling role, too. The trouble is that even doctors who hate to administer futile care must find a way to address the wishes of patients and families. Imagine, once again, the emergency room with those grieving, possibly hysterical, family members. They do not know the doctor. Establishing trust and confidence under such circumstances is a very delicate thing. People are prepared to think the doctor is acting out of base motives, trying to save time, or money, or effort, especially if the doctor is advising against further treatment.
Some doctors are stronger communicators than others, and some doctors are more adamant, but the pressures they all face are similar. When I faced circumstances involving end-of-life choices, I adopted the approach of laying out only the options that I thought were reasonable (as I would in any situation) as early in the process as possible. When patients or families brought up unreasonable choices, I would discuss the issue in layman’s terms that portrayed the downsides clearly. If patients or families still insisted on treatments I considered pointless or harmful, I would offer to transfer their care to another doctor or hospital.
We as a species are absolutely terrified of death. And we really shouldn’t be. I mean, yeah, dying is F***ING SCARY. But death, in and of itself, is not the end.
When we die, we don’t suddenly simply cease to exist. We change locations. Where we end up, depends on whether we have accepted the healing grace and power of the Almighty into our hearts and minds.
If we have, we get to spend eternity glorifying God and His majestic, infinite, cosmic goodness. That sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me.
If we haven’t, well, we get to spend eternity completely locked away from His warmth and grace – and from everyone else.
It’s just that simple. And if more of us got a clue about this, I think we would have a lot less unnecessary medical interventions designed to “prolong life” – aka, torture the patient.
While we are on the subject of medical malpractice, here is the latest episode of How to Succeed LIke a Dark Lord, which is highly apropos:
You have to admit, it’s a HIGHLY effective solution.

- So this kid finds out that his parents refused to pay for his tuition, but paid in full for his sister, simply because they wanted to brag about the status that came with their kid getting into an elite school – hits the feels, bro;
- If your wife sends nudes of herself to your golf partner, you need to spend more time banging her and less time on the golf course, she needs to stop being a whore, and you REALLY need to stop hanging out with your golf buddy;
- If Spotify gave you (or me) $10M to do a podcast, and we only delivered ONE EPISODE in over a year, I think they’d be justified in dropping us like hot potatoes, but rules are different for the Ginger Whinger and the Half-Blood Princess;
- In this day and age of craven and pathetic “athletes” bending the knee and cucking out whenever the going gets tough, it’s nice to see a sportzball legend actually standing up for his beliefs and telling it like it is about the clot shots;

OK, boys, we’re at the good stuff, finally – or at least, the important stuff, depending on your point of view. This here is the Instathot to get the week started. She is Summer Soderstrom, age 24 from somewhere in Maryland, and known for being an “influencer” (sounds like a disease, and in all honesty, isn’t all that easily distinguishable from one) and OnlySimps “model”. It’s also QUITE obvious from her pictures that she is, shall we say, enhanced – my compliments to her “specialist”. (There’s a pic near the bottom, in which she literally makes herself look like a RealDoll.)
And, of course, she’s got those godawful tattoos all over her arms and left shoulder. Why women as pretty as her (even without all the fillers and plastics) see the need to deface their bodies with such garbage, I just don’t understand.
Right, off yer butts and back to work, ye filthye swabbies.

The Bill Whittle video annoys me.
Frist of all Britian was weak by 1938 and really in throughout the war did not have the power to stop Germany. Without US entering the war the UK miltary after losing France and Singapore would done very little sinve it have to borrow funds and lack the manpower. They probably lose India, Australia and North Africa before Germany invades the USSR. Asian-Pacific, D-day and North Africa were thanks mainly to the Americans.
Usa is weaker and the enemies are stronger than it was in 2001. Just like Britian in 1938 the reality is that it can not and should not try to defend every country disputes. If Russia were to invade the Ukraine. How would or could the US win? (I mean without nukes). A long war with Russia would lead to a ever greater weakening Asian front, allowing China to expand. Lost of troops over sea in another war after years of fighting in the middle east would increase anti war, debt and divide the country further. I am not joking it could lead to a collapse of the US like Russia in 1917 if they keep going overseas and not fixing the problems at home.
You are right about Hilter and Putin. I think these guys are looking at the situation like it is a Hollywood film about WW2. I know with the education since i grew up in Australia is very narrow. They talk about why the war started only looking at Hilter and the demands while only a small part talking about Versailles. Churchill is talked about as a hero and a Prophet. I was told he was right about German and that the allies should of stop hilter earlier. The USSR is only talked about how hilter was mad to invade. Japan is mention due to Pearl Harbour and threat to Australia (bombing of Darwin). The problems with this view of history (other than it is wrong and therefore nor true) is that it is dangerous. Anytime the person looks like Hilter, if it looks like 1936 or the treaty of 1938 than to negotiate is wrong and war is the answer.
To tag onto our host and JohnC911 here:
Playing a half dozen games of Axis and Allies should be part of the required minimum for anyone who wants to pontificate on WWII. https://www.axisandallies.org/strategies/
The reality is WWI broke the British Empire. She had no strength to handle anything on the mainland. If the French couldn’t handle the ground-pounding from the Germans, no way was a British expeditionary force going to do anything. It’s a credit to the British as a people they stayed engaged against the Germans at all. Once France was eliminated they had no more skin in that game.
That’s the kind of thing Axis and Allies will teach you and bring to life beyond the textbook. It was the red army that bled and died to break the Germans. It was the British hanging on by threads with no real reason to be in the fight. It was the Japanese who had no muscle in the Pacific unless they could break the fleet in Pearl Harbor, which they did not and would not again at Midway. When you play the game you feel the pain!
On the games to learn trajectory: We played the game Roots over Christmas with some family. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/237182/root
Anyone can learn about the different generations of warfare within a single fun game. It takes a minute to learn.
3GW One faction of the forest creatures is the typical dominant empire trying to maintain control.
3GW Another is a resurgent monarchy that can take the field of battle but falls prey to the political infighting of leadership.
4GW The green faction is a batch of communist agitators or green berets, setting up insurgencies and becoming very difficult to stomp out without enormous costs.
5GW The blue guys are representative of the ideological warriors, eg, the Christian missionary winning single hearts and minds in hostile territory while avoiding the swatting hand of aggressive governments.
It’s a gem to play and we had constant remarks like “Oh this is how we lost in Afghanistan” and “Oh I see your fifth column coming up again!” On the first playthrough use the walkthrough guide to speed up the learning process.
Good work on the ‘eavy stuff and keep up the good work!
I’ve only played like 2 games of Axis & Allies, but it’s one of my favorite board games. In one of them, I was Germany, sent a panzer armada into Russia, and rolled hits on like 25 of 28 attack dice. It was glorious!
Here’s a hilarious, but accurate, summary of A&A and how a typical game goes:
https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Axis_%26_Allies
This is hilarious and accurate, I want to try out the 50th anniversary edition now.
Sometimes in life you have moments that define what a word really means for you. Sometimes it is ‘that defined pain’, some times it is ‘that defined love’. For me, the word quagmire was defined after 11 hours straight of A&A and the score was still tied. Axis and Allied had traded ownership of some cities across the globe but still held the exact same number as at the start of the game.
I ain’t saying we were good at the game, but we had fun with it.
Had a comment written but the captchA ate it. Let’s try this again.
I’ve never understood the hate for Halo 4. I disagree with the story decision to make Forerunners a separate species and revive them as antagonists, but the game is pretty as hell, (mostly) fun to play, introduces new enemies which are interesting to fight, and has an excellent soundtrack that, while aurally distinct from Marty’s work, fits the action perfectly (I am actually listening to it right now!) Also, for my money, the only Halo game with a better story is 2.
You do lose a little of that wide-open sandbox aspect because of how overpowered Watchers are, but I found it nice to mix up weapons and tactics in my Legendary runs instead of leaning on the ol’ reliable noob combo.
Now that I’ve got tons of Infinite multiplayer under my belt, I totally understand why 4’s iteration of the MP is so hated. It’s content to be a (poor) copy of CoD while ignoring all of Halo’s strengths. I think that the hatred of the MP is so strong that it bleeds into hatred of the game itself, which isn’t fair.
That Greek meme forgot to include Testicles.
+1 that is hilarious
