“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Monday morning with Tex Avery

MONDAY GOT ME LIKE | Make a Meme

Oh shit, it’s Monday again…

Still and all, we might as well make the best of it, with the usual epic Great Mondaydact Browser Crash. And we’ll start with some good old-fashioned Tex Avery cartoons – though my loyal American readers might have a tough time viewing some of these. Don’t worry, I’ve got plenty of other good stuff down below for you:

Oh, and that gorgeous girl from the 1950s at the end? (Actually in the original full-length cartoon she was there in the middle, but you can’t watch such things anymore, because fun isn’t allowed these days.)

That’s Joi Lansing.

Stirred, Straight Up, with a Twist: Joi to the World

I’ve been waiting nearly THIRTY YEARS to figure out who the heck that woman was. Also – DAMN but the 1950s were awesome!!!

And, of course, the all-time classic Tex Avery cartoon – Little Red Hot Riding Hood:

#BasedTucker is based, and he’s been on an absolute tear this week:

Tucker also admitted, on air, that he and his team really screwed up when they predicted that Joe Biden would not be the Daemoncratic candidate for POTUS. This is one of the reasons why I like him – he tells the truth, as best as he can see it, and when he gets it wrong, he admits it and takes the criticism like a man:

Tucker also has some cogent and powerful thoughts to add about stop-and-frisk:

And finally, in the aftermath of Super Tuesday:

***

Mark Dice is DEEPLY unimpressed by the current state of the Daemoncratic field – just like the rest of us:

He also had plenty of amusing commentary to add in the aftermath of Super Tuesday:

***

Bill Whittle has his own thoughts to add about the sudden and dramatic departure of Chris Matthews from MSNBC’s Hardball:

It subsequently became very clear that Chris Matthews did not resign. He was fired, and (((they))) got rid of him simply because he dared to criticise Bernie Sanders from the Left.

That is the major difference between the Left and us on the Right. The Leftists can be crazy, stupid, and evil, all at the same time. But one thing that they are exceptionally good at doing, is squashing dissent in the ranks. The Right, by contrast, wastes immense amounts of time and energy with pointless internecine feuds that weaken and divide us.

Those feuds do tend to be healthy at some level, though, because they allow the Right to sift through some of the more stupid bullshit that plagues its constituents and sort the good ideas from the bad. That is why the globalist Right, or more simply, the neoclowns, have been sent firmly packing, while the nationalists are very much in the ascendant.

The Left has no such sorting apparatus. That is why they routinely bring out candidates who are boring, crazy, senile, and/or evil.

Jesse Waters has a good take on Sleepy Creepy Rip Van Biden being the Daemoncratic front-runner all of a sudden – and wait until the end where His Most Illustrious, Noble, August, Benevolent, and Legendary Celestial Majesty, the God-Emperor of Mankind, Donaldus Triumphus Magnus, the First of His Name, has to say about facing off against the senile old dotard:

***

Dave from Blue Collar Logic explains why liberals and conservatives need each other in order to maintain a competitive tension that makes both of their lives better:

I strongly disagree with Dave’s interpretation of Scripture, in which he argues that Jesus Christ was “something of a hippie”. A careful reading of the Gospel of John, in particular, will show that Jesus was absolutely nothing of the sort.

Moreover, the major problem with Dave’s thesis is in his rather naive belief that conservatives are capable of pushing back against the stupidity of liberals – or even willing to do so.

The reality is that conservatives have singularly failed to conserve virtually anything in the past 100 years. You can make an argument for conservative preservation of gun rights – to which I will respond that the National Firearms Act does not permit anyone to own fully automatic weapons, which is a plain and severe violation of the words, “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED“.

Day by day, step by step, the Left has eroded and destroyed the rights of not merely the Right, but of everyone. And conservatives have sat by and let it happen, terrified of being called “racists” and “sexists” and “misogynists” and “homophobes” if they so much as utter a squeak of protest.

Fortunately, there does appear to be an awakening happening in the USA and much of the West. But those who are waking up, still have faith in the electoral process – with some justification, given the fact that this process is what got Brexit done, the God-Emperor elected, Bolsonaro in office, Netanyahu finally vindicated, and several serious nationalists into power across the world.

Dave also has some funny stuff to add about Liz Warren dropping out of the race:

We’ve got loads of great stuff from our friend The Male Brain this week, starting with a warning from a psychologist explaining exactly why one should never, ever date a feminist:

It’s not like any of you need to be told this, but it’s good advice nonetheless.

Paul Ramsey’s take on Little Gay Pete pulling out of the race for POTUS:

Who in his right mind seriously thought that a gay white man who looks like a dead ringer for Alfred E. Neumann was going to get elected President?

It’s not politically correct to state this openly, but the truth is what it is: Blacks and Hispanics DO NOT LIKE gays. Neither do the rest of us, but white Christians are at least willing to tolerate gays. The rest of the ethnic melting pot, however, can’t bloody stand them. And with good reason.

European culture is about the only one that I have ever encountered where open homosexuality is not looked upon with disgust and hatred. Everywhere else in the world that I’ve ever traveled, homosexuals are considered unclean, degenerate, and even downright evil. Those pejoratives are unwarranted, for the most part, but that is how those cultures view them.

And given that those very same cultures now make up significant voting blocs within America – again, who seriously thought he had a shot?!?!?

Paul also has a good take on Finland’s latest anti-rape campaign – and see below for PJW’s extremely acerbic dissection of the same:

Lord Razorfist apparently likes rap music (for some ungodly reason) and has a bit of a beef with the Bernie bros as a result:

Here’s your “Science is F***ING WEIRD” moment of the week, and it’s all about Beetlejuice – er, I mean, Betelgeuse:

In the night sky, the constellation Orion is most well-known for his belt, a row of three luminous stars. For the last few months, though, astronomers around the world have been particularly interested in his right shoulder, the home of a star called Betelgeuse, one of the brightest stars in the sky. Betelgeuse—which, yes, is pronounced like Beetlejuice—has been dimming more than it ever had before. Astronomers have long known that Betelgeuse is aging and, like many old stars, is bound to explode sooner or later. Could this mystery dimming mean that a supernova might be imminent?



The view would be mind-boggling, day or night. The Orion constellation can be seen from nearly everywhere on Earth, which means nearly everyone could see the exploding star. It would easily cut through the artificial-light pollution that prevents 80 percent of the world—and a staggering 99 percent of the United States and Europe—from experiencing a clear view of the night sky.



“At the predicted brightness of a Betelgeuse supernova, you could be standing in the center of the biggest city in the world, and you would certainly see it,” says John Barentine, an astronomer and the director of public policy at the International Dark-Sky Association, a nonprofit that works to mitigate light pollution. “You couldn’t miss it.”



Even more spectacular, the display would stick around. The gleaming orb would remain visible for more than a year, perhaps even longer. How strange it would be to witness day in and day out, to understand, for the most part, that the blaze is simply a natural wonder of the universe, but still feel, on a deeper, more primitive level, that the sky looks very wrong.

Your long read of the week is from The Saker, and concerns a very-nearly-war in Syria that nobody wants to talk about between Russia and Turkey:

Right now, the best Russian ally in the region is Syria. This is the country which Russia needs to make safe by creating a truly modern air defense network. The Russians have already done a lot towards this goal, including integrating their combat management and EW systems, but that is not enough. While Russian aid and Syrian skills have forced the Israelis to conduct mostly symbolic and ineffective air strikes, often with missiles shot from outside the Syrian airspace, and while many (most) Israeli missiles were destroyed by the Syrian air defenses, it is pretty clear that both the Turks and the Israelis feel that if they launch missiles from long distance they are relatively safe. That perception needs to be changed, not only to force the Turks and the Israelis to shoot from even further and accept even more losses, but also to show the US, NATO and Europe that the Syrian air defenses are capable of making anything short of a massive attack pointless (and a massive attack costly).



We should also note that the Turkish propaganda machine has been very effective. Yes, a lot of what they said was self-evidently “feelgood” nonsense (thousands of dead Syrians, hundred of tanks, etc.) , but their footage of a Turkish drone striking a Pantsir in Libya did, at least initially, impress those who don’t understand air defense warfare (destroying a single isolated first-generation Pantsir is not that hard, especially from right above it, but destroying a Pantsir position in which launchers protect each other is quite different. And if that Pantsir position is protected “below” (AA+MANPADS) and “above” (medium to long range SAMs), then this becomes extremely difficult).



This war is not over and it won’t be until Erdogan is removed from power. Frankly, Russia needs a stable and trustworthy partner on her southern border, and that won’t happen until the Turks ditch Erdogan. The problem here is that God only knows who might succeed him, should the Gulenists seize power, that will not be good for Russia either.

It is rapidly becoming clear that Turkey is a serious liability to the American empire, and is absolutely no friend to the Europeans – not, of course, that they ever were. I could have told you this simply from taking a trip to Turkey back in 2018.

It is also becoming clear that Russia is not to be trifled with. While the Russians are far more friendly and receptive toward the Europeans and Americans than either group’s political leaders are willing to admit, they are also absolutely adamant on keeping their own culture, sovereignty, and political system intact. They will not brook interference in their way of life – and that is an attitude for which nationalists like us should have immense respect.

The Russians have shown repeatedly that they are now capable of taking on and fighting technologically advanced Western militaries toe-to-toe, and winning. Russia’s air forces, in particular, are too small at this point to maintain air supremacy in a war against the West – but their fighter, attack, and bomber jets are every bit a match for Western-oriented 4th-generation air forces right now.

It remains to be seen whether they could take on a fleet fielding F-35 Joint Strike Flying Pianos, but given the sheer unreliability of those stupid flying turkeys, it’s probably a fair bet that the Russians could win that war simply by deploying their long-wave radar systems along with a lot of electronic jamming, along with their new Su-57s – assuming they ever get the power problems with the engines for those planes sorted out.

The most important lesson from the Syrian war right now is that messing with the Russian bear is a very, very big mistake. The West’s leaders would be well advised to sit up and take note.

The Neo-Tsar talks a very great deal of simple good sense about foreign money in politics:

He also had some interesting things to say in the wake of his long meeting with Erdogan in Moscow:

Warm and cuddly, he absolutely is NOT. But – smart, tough, motivated, capable, and absolutely ruthless? Oh yes. Very much so. All of those things.

For anyone who watched the Fury-Wilder 2 fight, Tyson Fury’s movements looked pretty straightforward and conventional by boxing standards.

They were right. His movements in that fight were STRANGE. Highly effective, totally unorthodox, and very interesting to watch.

Joe Rogan explains exactly why muay thai is absolutely awesome:

And yes, he’s absolutely right. Muay thai is orders of magnitude better than football. I can’t bloody stand football.

If I want to watch a bunch of fit dudes running around for 90 minutes, I’ll go watch a marathon.

And if I want to watch a lot of overpaid nancies diving and clutching limbs and screaming bloody murder on a pitch because someone lightly touched them, I’ll watch an episode of, I dunno, The Kardashians or whatever.

The highest levels of free-form martial arts competitions require immense intelligence, skill, power, athleticism, training, and strength of will. Muay thai is a base art for MMA precisely because it requires so many different skills; it is in many ways essentially upper-body wrestling with knees and elbows (hellbows, actually) thrown in for good measure. All you have to do is watch a true nak muay at work to understand and appreciate just how brutal and devastating the chained attacks in muay thai can be.

And while we’re on the subject – here’s your Buakaw Beatdown of the Week:

That was a very easy fight for Buakaw, in comparison to most of his outings. But you can see just how brutal and nasty the art is.

Now let’s invert things completely and see what would happen if Mary Poppins started singing death metal:

#MetalAllegiance

Gonna be a lot of 80s throwbacks this week, because the 1980s were a fantastic period in time. Metal was awesome, St. Reagan Magnus of the Right was in charge, and women were HOT.

This next one is so 80s-metal that the Eighties don’t know what to make of it:

Seriously, the only way that it could be more Eighties is if they did a cover of CHEAP TRICK’s epic “Mighty Wings”.

The featured track of this section is an absolute treat for every true metal fan:

I do like that band…

Some more newer stuff that is definitely nothing like the 80s:

And now back to the 80s with VIRGIN STEELE, an awesome and hugely underrated band:

We end things, as we always do, with THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME, also known as IRON MAIDEN:

***

And finally here is your Instathot to get the week started. Her name is Nadine Kerastas, originally from Germany, age 25 or so. (I know – she looks way older. Being a thot is hard on a girl’s shelf life.) She started out as a bodybuilder after falling ill from a tick bite, and before she embraced the iron she was quite the frump.

Nowadays, she is the walking definition of “Plastic Fantastic”, which makes her the perfect candidate for this Monday’s Instathot.

OK, boys, get off yer keesters now, start with the CRUSHING!!! already.

    Regarding the Israeli independence war, one should be reminded that 1% of the population died in that war (from the Israeli side).
    6000 died out of a population of 600,000 people.
    That thing traumatized us for decades, and had a major effect on the war doctrine till recently.

      Yep. My understanding of it is that Israel's own military leadership states unequivocally that Israel cannot afford to lose a single war and must focus on keeping its own casualties down through qualitative superiority over its neighbours.

      Recent wars have not been against Arab neighbours with state militaries, but non-state actors who don't play by military rules. Judging by what happened in 2006 and 2014, the Israeli military has struggled to adapt.

      In fairness, winning an asymmetric war in an age of 24×7 news where the sympathy is always with the poor benighted Arab "resistance fighters", is nearly impossible.
