“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.”

Rules don’t matter in a failing nation

His Most Beneficent and Legendary Astral Majesty, the God-Emperor of Mankind, Donaldus Triumphus Magnus, recently caused some really severe ass-pain for a bunch of “Americans” originally from the Dirt World who just happen to be freshmen Congresscritters...

The Trillion-Dollar AWACS

I have been an extremely harsh critic of the F-35, especially the VTOL version for the Marine Corps, for years. But it would appear that there is some reason to think that the F-35 might just come good after all – under a very, very specific set of mission...

Blue-on-red

I’ve been banging on for some time now about how the USA is a dying empire inhabiting the footprint of a long-destroyed nation, and will eventually split apart into at least three separate constituents. I have gotten considerable pushback on this subject from...

Hand up if you’re surprised

The F-35 Joint Strike Flying Piano is sort of like a slow-motion car crash: utterly horrifying as a whole, oddly fascinating in its little details, and you cannot stop yourself from staring at the awful spectacle of its self-inflicted demise, even though you know...

Domain Query: Partition is inevitable

The Grand Strategikon and Excruciator Majoris of the Evil Legion of Evil had some interesting points to make with respect to my Memorial Day post: You listen to certain members of the alt-right too much. We’re too frigging geographically intertwined to break up...

Now that’s a bloody brilliant idea

Apparently it’s the 30th Anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre, and Steven Hayward over at Power Line had an interesting brainwave to help commemorate the tragedy: Almost 12 or 15 years ago now I was teaching a class at Georgetown as a visiting lecturer,...

Because they aren’t idiots, that’s why

Here is a rather interesting video asking why it is that the Russians don’t use aircraft that take off and land vertically – and it’s not because they didn’t try the concept: People who like the idea of V/STOL (Vertical/Short Take Off and...

“We’re gonna need a bigger clown car”

Just when you thought that the Daemoncrats couldn’t get any more ridiculous, here comes Hizzoner, Da Meiya: I watched what that Commie bastard de Blasio did to New York from 2014 to 2018. Four long years of watching homeless bums spring up like mushrooms all...

Brexit and the breaking

As Theresa Maybot’s utterly useless administration lurches from disaster to catastrophe with monotonous regularity with regards to getting Britain the hell OUT of the European Union, it is worth taking a look at some old-fashioned British humour to explain...

If it didn’t work the first 999 times…

I was planning to write a longer post today, but got sidetracked. (Okay, honesty demands that I admit that this is just my way of saying that it was pouring cats and dogs today, and I wasn’t feeling too great because of this disgustingly phlegmy chest infection...
