The absolute last word on Dolly Parton would have to be this.




Said a mouthful there, girl. All I can really add to it is a hearty “indeed.”


Update! Unbelievable. Execute the scum. I am in NO way kidding about that.




Fury as Dolly Parton’s star on Hollywood Walk of Fame is vandalized a week after her death
Dolly Parton’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame has been vandalized a week after her death.


Fans of the country megastar swarmed Hollywood Boulevard last week, turning the site into a tear-soaked shrine after she died aged 80.


Visitors paying their respects Monday noticed the flowers had been stolen and that deep scratches were gouged directly across her name on the brass inlay.


The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce confirmed that crews were dispatched to repair the star.


“Dolly’s star already had cracks in it, and the chamber had scheduled it to be repaired Tuesday,” Ana Martinez, a spokesman for the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce told TMZ. Martinez added it was a fan who stole the flowers and left scratches on the star.




Yeah no, not bloody likely. I think we can all imagine easily enough just what kind of person would do such a shitty, pointless, spiteful thing…and the words MAGA, Normal, conservative, and such-like form no part whatsoever of the description of said “person.”


    


    




    



    

        
Let’s make a DEAL!

Despite having won it seventy-three (73) times already, according to fucking Trump, we’re not gonna win this Iran thing, are we?




Put this one right on top of the stack of things I don’t understand.










Clue to the willfully, obstinately clueless: THEY DO NOT WANT A DEAL, THEY WILL NOT ABIDE BY ANY “DEAL” YOU DO FINALLY MAKE WITH THEM, AND THEY REGARD YOUR CRAVEN CRAWLING TO THEM BEGGING FOR SOME KIND OF STUPID-ASS DEAL AS A SIGN OF WEAKNESS, YOU STUPID FOOLS. Which it, y’know, IS, actually.


SO, in other words, exactly the same as they’ve been doing for the last, oh, round about fifty fucking years, then.




Bessent has been almost frighteningly effective in fulfilling his promise to collapse Iran’s currency, the rial. As he reminded Fox Business in that clip, the rial stood at 800,000 to the dollar last spring, but as of last week was down to two million.


That’s created real-world hardships for the regime and the Iranian people.


“Small protests occurred outside petrochemical plant and a sugar cane factory where workers were made unemployed but received no salary for last six months,” Peter Baum reported on X today. “One person killed by IRGC outside the sugar cane factory.”


Furthermore, “Academic staff at numerous universities on strike as they too have not been paid for months.”


The trick is to keep asphyxiating the regime until Tehran can’t afford to pay the thugs who keep the people in line with beatings and mass murders as required.


And these are the same theocrats Bessent thinks he can make “want to have a deal?” And that after we let go of their throats, they’ll stick to it?


What I had thought back in March might be a days-long campaign to hurt the regime has gone on too long for a deal — and the stakes are too elevated.


Once you grab somebody by the throat, you’ve got to keep squeezing until the job is done.




I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: so long as an entity still exists in the Middle East called The Islamic Republic Of Iran, with a bunch of Mad Mullahs firmly in charge of said entity, we have “won” neither Jack nor Shit.


    


    




    



    

        
“Sad creepiness”

Thompson lays out the nuts and bolts.




“You’re being yourself,” says a cross-dressing man who parades around the streets at night in a fetishistic latex maid’s uniform. With bonus dog collar and leash, obviously.


But he doesn’t want to talk about his sexuality, because “it’s complicated.”


As if we couldn’t guess.


Says our enthusiast of bondage and public humiliation, “The rush eventually wears off… I miss the rush… you do more risqué things.” And of course this chasing of transgression entails onlookers. People to be scandalised, disturbed or in some way imposed upon. Reluctant participants in his naff erotic drama.


At risk of seeming insufficiently affirming, what I see is a man being consumed by his own sad and grubby fetish. Not, I think, the most obvious basis for applause. Or indeed pride.


But hey. Modernity, baby.


We’ve recently mentioned how the realities above are difficult to convey in a normal social situation. Consequently, you may encounter people who wish to be seen as supportive of all things trans, because they’ve been watching the BBC and therefore know almost nothing about the phenomenon that they feel obliged to be seen supporting.


And so, you may find yourself in a social situation where nodding along or some affirming noise is expected, and you may then have to decide whether to sidestep the subject or introduce the other person to a world they may not care to enter or wish to spend much time in. But which is a very large part of what it is they’re affirming, if, perhaps, unwittingly.


And which isn’t necessarily what you want to think about when, say, having a meal with friends or coffee with the neighbours.



Or, y’know, ever, for the matter of it. More, much more, here.

Only D and DD? Sorry, but I was married to a DD-Plus gal myself, and I can say with no little authority that Dolly was a Triple or Fourple-D, if not even larger than.

Some assembly required.




I don’t give a sh*t that Flock and other unconstitutional searches may decrease crime. So will sending SWAT teams into every house in America to look for drugs or “illegal” weapons, or taking the medical records of every American and analyzing them for possible illegality. Or sending forensic accountants into every business in America and checking their books. Or….

The list is long how we can make ourselves “safer.” But as some very wise men understood, safety is a temporary condition that leads inexorably to totalitarianism.


Does that sound histrionic? Maybe, but provide a counter example please!


If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom – go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!
— Samuel Adams


Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
— Benjamin Franklin


Government is fundamentally evil, and the expansion of its surveillance capacity simply makes it worse, and gives it more power over us. If anyone thinks that government is expanding its surveillance capacity because it will make us safer, then I have a bridge to sell you. They expand it, and all of its power, for one reason: control over the people.


We have to push back whenever we can, and Flock cameras are an excellent place to take a stand. And it’s easy! Agitate against them in every public forum, starting with your local government council. And if you ever end up on a jury for a trial of someone who destroyed a Flock camera or any other onerous surveillance technology…you know what to do.




Well, one would hope so, at any rate. Alas, one might have his doubts about that.

Welcome to this week’s installment of our Wednesday meme feature, folks. Links to the “found via” sources will be attached to the specific MiQ’s (Memes in Question) whenever I can remember them, which likely won’t be very often. Only the first two memes will appear above the fold to save on bandwidth usage, since I assume not everybody who shows up at this here websty will want to see all of them. This intro will appear at the top of each week’s Memezapoppin’! post. Enjoy, funny-pitcher lovers.

The über-lovely and talented Sophie Cunningham and …uhhh, lemme see here…what the everlovin’ blueyed…erm…Republic of Texas AG and gubernatorial candidate Ken Paxton?!?


As Jack Nicholson so memorably quipped in the criminally-under-appreciated film Goin’ South, “what the hell, fine by me.”




Texas AG Ken Paxton sends message to WNBA amid ‘concerns’ over treatment of Sophie Cunningham supporters
EXCLUSIVE: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton expressed cautious optimism about the WNBA’s treatment of Sophie Cunningham’s supporters Thursday while reaffirming his commitment to keeping biological males out of women’s sports.


Paxton attended the Indiana Fever’s game against the Dallas Wings at American Airlines Center with his daughter Mattie. The two wore matching XX-XY shirts as women’s sports advocates rallied outside the arena before the game.


When asked whether Cunningham’s supporters had received fair treatment from the WNBA, Paxton stopped short of condemning the league.


“Look, I think they’re working on it,” Paxton told Fox News Digital. “I have concerns … but I’m hopeful that things are getting better in that regard.”


Paxton answered a question on whether he would become involved if supporters face unfair treatment, saying he was “looking” into the issue. He did not indicate any plans for any formal action.


“Look, we’re looking at it,” Paxton said. “We wanna make sure that they are treated fairly”


Paxton’s measured response came after Cunningham supporters raised concerns about their treatment at WNBA games in multiple cities. The league recently acknowledged that security personnel should not have instructed a mother and daughter to cover their XX-XY shirts at an Atlanta Dream game.


“This should not have happened,” the WNBA said in response to that incident.


Paxton showed little willingness to compromise on the underlying issue.


“In Texas, we know what we’ve passed,” he said. “We have laws here that protect against men in women’s sports and boys in girls’ sports, and it’s pretty important to, I think, the people of Texas.”

As it’s “pretty important” to all sane, reasonable people everywhere. As my gal Sophie herself said after this foolish non-troversy—yet another of those 80/20 issues that a certain pathological criminal syndicate masquerading as a political party finds itself on the 20 percent side of—went wide: “It’s just common sense.”




Just hitch up your Big Boy britches, square your shoulders, and ‘fess on up to it: when she’s right, she is one hundred and fifty-leven percent fucking-A RIGHT. And as I learn more about this woman, I am starting to feel somewhat awed by how often she IS right, I must say.


Oh, and while we’re discussing dream teams here…A-HENH!




* le sigh* That’s a snap (at left and right, NOT the middle one, natch) from the Sidney-Sophie meetup at the Phoenix NASCAR event mentioned by Village Idiot in the comments here.


These two living dolls hanging out together just having themselves a little race-day fun is literally the stuff of which dreams are made.


    


    




    



    

        
“Is Amazon Suppressing a Book That Criticizes Islam?”
                    

                     Posted on       by      Leave a comment            

            


    

            
Probably so, yeah. I mean, what the hey, why not?




Yes, I wrote the book in question, but that’s beside the point. If they can do it to me, they can do it to anyone who doesn’t hold the views that the leftist establishment finds acceptable. With Amazon being almost the only source for books now, and by far the largest, that’s a dangerous development for any society that values the freedom of speech.


It’s an odd thing. My latest book, The Tragedy of Islam: it has an Amazon page, and that page seems to be in full working order. You can find it here.


If, however, you didn’t click on that link I just provided, but instead went to Amazon and tried to find the book yourself, if your experience is anything like mine just now, you will see that the book is impossible to find. Search for it every which way, and it does not come up. Is Amazon trying to suppress access to this book? It sure looks as if it is.


I asked several other people to replicate this experiment, and they had the same results: They could find the book by clicking on a pre-existing link, but no matter what they searched for at Amazon, including the book’s specific title, subtitle, and author, it doesn’t come up. If you have a minute, please try it yourself and let me know in the comments what results you get.


I found this out because I needed the link to the book’s sale page, and as I was already at Amazon, instead of going to my website and clicking on the link there, I typed the book’s title into the search bar. What came up for “The Tragedy of Islam” was Imam Mohammad Tawhidi’s book from several years ago of the same name and a host of other books with similar names, but my book The Tragedy of Islam was nowhere to be seen. In fact, my book did not appear on the entire page of results for a search of the exact title of the book.


This is not normal. I typed in the names of a few of my other recent books, and they came right up in the searches, either as the first or second result.


So I started to search for The Tragedy of Islam with more information: by the full title, The Tragedy of Islam: Failure and Excuses, as well as “The Tragedy of Islam Spencer,” “The Tragedy of Islam Robert Spencer,” “The Tragedy of Islam by Robert Spencer,” and even “The Tragedy of Islam: Failure and Excuses by Robert Spencer, Bombardier Books.” Every search turned up another book I had written, or else Tawhidi’s book. None of the searches, not one, turned up the actual book The Tragedy of Islam: Failure and Excuses anywhere on the first page of search results.


Yet the book is offered at Amazon. Apparently, however, you can only get to it by clicking on a link to it you may find somewhere, not by searching at Amazon. This is a new form of censorship I haven’t encountered before. Amazon can say that they are offering the book for sale and that all is well. They’re just hiding it.




I pulled up the Amazon site and tried Spencer’s experiment my own self, with similar yet different results: as the man said, the new book was nowhere to be found, although most or maybe all of his previous works were there listed.


Interestingly enough, you can search for “robert spencer the tragedy of islam” with my preferred search engine, Luxxle, and the first result you get is the Simon & Schuster website page featuring Spencer’s latest, Coming in second you have a link that whisks you right off to Amazon’s page for the Spencer book. Passing strange, no? I confess myself to be stumped here. Spencer seems a bit bemused as well:




But remember the old adage: Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you. Or maybe the whole thing is just some glitch. Maybe. But my work has been censored in all kinds of ways for years. And it looks as if it’s still going on.




Oh, I’m completely confident of that, at any rate. Nothing else can spark a barking-mad, violent shitfit in Leftwits quite as fast and as thoroughly as whenever some reasonable, sane, intelligent sort says, writes, or publishes anything they don’t like, even slightly. It never changes, and neither do they; at this point, I very much doubt they CAN change, even if thy wantted to…which, they assuredly do NOT. To quote a little dialogue from the immortal classic movie, Easy Rider, which sums the sorry situation up as well as has ever been done, either before or since.




GEORGE: “Oh yeah, they’re gonna talk to you and talk to you and talk to you about individual freedom. But they see a free individual, and it’s gonna scare ’em.”


BILLY: “Yeah, well, it don’t make ’em running scared.”


GEORGE: “No. It makes ‘em dangerous.”




It was all too true back in 1969, and hits home particularly hard today, in a truly gutwrenching way.


    


    




    



    

        
KHAAAAANN!

First up, let’s check out this phat meme (courtesy of Ms Hoyt, thanks!) which is what reminded me of this cool-ass little story in the first place.




Heh. By cracky, that’s just too darn punny right there. Now, let’s get to it.




The Picture That Settles The Khan Chest Debate
It’s been years since I’ve looked at Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, but I do remember as a youngster buying into the idea that Ricardo Montalbán, who played the titular villain Khan, was wearing a prosthetic chest.


In case you’re not aware, it’s sort of an old urban legend that has been around for 35 years.  Here is what the trivia on the IMDb says:


It has been widely debated that Ricardo Montalban’s chest was actually a prosthetic piece that he wore during the film. In the director’s commentary in the special edition DVD, Nicholas Meyer is quoted as saying that it was, in fact, Montalban’s actual chest and that he was a very muscular man who worked out. During publicity for the movie, during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1982) Montalban explained that he was able to achieve the look seen in the film by doing push-ups. “A lot of push-ups.”


The problem some people had was that Montalbán was an older gentleman at the time of filming and had a chest that was alpha as fuck, coupled with some curious attire positioning and a necklace that in theory would hide a suspect seam, and some poor VHS quality, some insisted it was fake.  The layers of crude, fake, makeup Nimoy and Shatner wore — it looks like they rolled their faces in their wive’s makeup drawers — probably didn’t help.


Well, the following pic puts that to rest decisively.




Which, for my money, it….does. I’m satisfied that Montalban’s sculpted, manly chest is/was in fact the genuine article, no prosthetics required. Funny thing is, as a diehard Trek fanboi for pretty much my whole life, I never knew until just now that there ever even was a “Khan’s chest” debate; all along, I had just assumed it was either plastic or some other type of movie-magic fakery. Glad we finally got that all cleared up, aren’t you?


Funniest of all is that in the flick, Montalban’s Khan character was, in fact, a genetically-altered Übermenschen, specifically bio-engineered to be vastly superior in every way to us pathetic, flabby Normals. So in the end, not only was Montalban’s studly bod the real deal, but the man’s Rodin-statue-esque physique was probably a major part of the reason he got picked for the role to begin with. The above article appends another pic from early in Montalban’s acting career that’s even more convincing:




Yep, if THAT don’t persuade you, I can only guess that “Khan’s fake chest” is a position you simply aren’t open to changing yur mind about.


Update! Did a quickie Luxxle search, and whaddya know, further evidence in support of the proposition that Ricardo Montalban had a seriously carved-up, cut-up phyzz.


Montalban 2.


From another of his early movies, 1950’s Right Cross, in which Mr Rich Corinthian Leather portrays (you guessed it) a Mex-American boxing champeen.


Updated update! You wanna see something that really IS fake, phony, and fraudulent? Try this on for size.




Corinthian leather is a marketing term coined by copywriter Jim Nichols with the Omaha-based Bozell advertising agency in 1974 to describe a leather upholstery used in certain luxury vehicles of the Chrysler automobile company.


The advertisements developed the term Corinthian leather to imply a premium product of foreign origin denoting something rich, rare, and luxurious, though the product was in fact made by the Radel Leather Manufacturing Company in Newark, New Jersey.


Though Chrysler first used the term Corinthian leather in advertisements for the 1974 Imperial LeBaron, the term itself would ultimately become heavily associated with the 1975 Cordoba, an intermediate personal luxury car. The success of the advertising campaign closely associated actor Ricardo Montalbán, the spokesman, with the Cordoba’s so-called Corinthian leather. In promoting the Cordoba model, Montalbán described a car interior with thickly-cushioned, luxury seats upholstered in what were variously described as either fine, soft, or rich Corinthian leather.


When asked on Late Night with David Letterman what the term denoted, Montalbán said that Corinthian leather was a marketing term. Montalbán credited commercial writer Jim Nichols for the term. In promoting the Chrysler New Yorker in 1988, Montalbán described the Corinthian leather as a “rich” leather. The term came to include the vinyl upholstering for interior surfaces, such as the backs of the front seats and the head rests, and the lower parts of door facings.




Just in case any of y’all miscreants had somehow conjured the erroneous idea that We Duh Peepul being lied to, led astray, hornswoggled, and duped was something new.

Notable Quotes


"America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards."
	
—Claire Wolfe, 101 Things to Do 'Til the Revolution



Claire's Cabal—The Freedom Forums

		
FREEDOM!!!



"There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
—Daniel Webster



“When I was young I was depressed all the time. But suicide no longer seemed a possibility in my life. At my age there was very little left to kill.”
—Charles Bukowski



“A slave is one who waits for someone to come and free him.”
—Ezra Pound
	

“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”
—Frank Zappa


	

“The right of a nation to kill a tyrant in case of necessity can no more be doubted than to hang a robber, or kill a flea.”
—John Adams




"A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves."
—Bertrand de Jouvenel




"It is terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged."
—GK Chesterton


"I predict that the Bush administration will be seen by freedom-wishing Americans a generation or two hence as the hinge on the cell door locking up our freedom. When my children are my age, they will not be free in any recognizably traditional American meaning of the word. I’d tell them to emigrate, but there’s nowhere left to go. I am left with nauseating near-conviction that I am a member of the last generation in the history of the world that is minimally truly free."
—Donald Sensing


"The only way to live free is to live unobserved."
—Etienne de la Boiete


"History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid."
—Dwight D. Eisenhower


"To put it simply, the Left is the stupid and the insane, led by the evil. You can’t persuade the stupid or the insane and you had damn well better fight the evil."
—Skeptic


"There is no better way to stamp your power on people than through the dead hand of bureaucracy. You cannot reason with paperwork."
—David Black, from Turn Left For Gibraltar


"If the laws of God and men, are therefore of no effect, when the magistracy is left at liberty to break them; and if the lusts of those who are too strong for the tribunals of justice, cannot be otherwise restrained than by sedition, tumults and war, those seditions, tumults and wars, are justified by the laws of God and man."
—John Adams


"The limits of tyranny are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress."
—Frederick Douglass


"Give me the media and I will make of any nation a herd of swine."
—Joseph Goebbels


“I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts.”
—Ronald Reagan


"Ain't no misunderstanding this war. They want to rule us and aim to do it. We aim not to allow it. All there is to it."
—NC Reed, from Parno's Peril


"I just want a government that fits in the box it originally came in."
—Bill Whittle
