Kneel for Injustice. Kneel for Equality.

Sedition can take many forms and though the most forthright acts of treason are comprised of armed attacks like terror bombings (see Bill Ayers) there are other, more subtle, forms which act as psychological, rather than a physical, explosion. And so, when the UVA men's hoops team released a group photo of themselves kneeling for injustice and equality the other day I felt the full force of their psychic blast peal the skin from my face and felt the searing heat melt my eyeballs onto my charred skull which soon flaked away to expose my pulsating brain that throbbed in modulating rhythm with the LCD until it too exploded into a bazillion tiny atoms of mist. Direct hit - Wrong place, wrong time, wrong universe. How did we get here? Is it really all just Colin Kaepernick's fault? I say NO, the problem runs much deeper than the athletes who, foolish though they might be, are just acting out.
London Perrantes is a fantastic point guard on the court, and I'm asuming he's got some smarts to attend UVA (even on an athletic scholarship) but I think what he's trying to say here is "kneel for justice" NOT injustice. So it's a typo - no big deal - unless he is actually kneeling for injustice which would be a bold statement and require a completely different commentary on the KOTCB blog. But my problem with this effort has little to do with justice/injustice or equality (I would point out that justice and equality are not complimentary ideals and one could say that conceptually they work against each other) but it is the act of kneeling that gets my goat. The conflation of kneeling (an act of submission) with an act of protest is simply ignorant and un-American - especially when it comes to the national anthem. I hate watching these athletes kneel not because I think they don't have any reason to complain - who doesn't (that's what this blog is all about) - but because it demonstrates weakness and subservience to the state. It's worse than the "hands up, don't shoot" surrender that so many SJW's were pantomiming after Fergusson. It's seditious in its complete rejection of Americas founding ideal that requires - demands - participation in the political economy and civic ecosystem. It is a gesture that fundamentally transforms the nobel citizen into a groveling subject. When it comes to protest, I've got a very different idea about what TRUE protest looks like:


In your face American pussies - Angelo Graham from the great state of Tennessee will show you what a true protest looks like. When I see the UVA Basketball team dressed in ape suites wearing All Lives Matter tee shirts STANDING TALL I'll know the ship of state has been righted and is sailing forward to a beautiful future.

It's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees

The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson

She was "sexy", but "too much hard work." I'm a regular Fox & Friends viewer (mostly in protest of the other insipid morning programs like Today and Good Morning America) so over the years I've gotten to know Gretchen Carlson pretty well. Stuck between Steve and Brian she always seemed a prudish scold with an irritating, self-righteous demeanor that I simply put up with because I figured some people in the Fox audience actually liked her persona. It was obvious that Steve and Brian did not, but they were stuck with her like so many talking heads and had to make the best of it - which they did. Besides, she was no worse than any of the other women on morning show TV - I mean, you're only going to find a certain kind of person to do this kind of work and that kind of person is the Gretchen Carlson kind. Then, one day, she was gone and replaced by Elisabeth Hasselbeck and the F&F ratings began to climb, and climb and climb - in two months view...

The Pop-Tarts Bowl: Frauds v. Fakers

In the Techno-Fascist Imperium the "Holidays" festivities start on Columbus Day, when the Halloween candy pops up, and end New Years Day with college football Bowl games, black-eyed peas and collard greens. To be clear, the Imperium doesn't celebrate Columbus Day, au contraire, the Indigenous Peoples' Day psyop has been pushed hard by the IC for the past 50 years of failure but the candy... THE CANDY. This year's IPD got turned up to eleven when the colonizers of America's 51st state got kidnapped, raped and murdered by some indigenous maniacs on Sukkot 10/7 and, as a result, soured the festive '23 Holiday mood. Hey, we soldiered on, as it were, and kept on celebrating while the world burned: Halloween - Big for children and weirdos. Thanksgiving - Focus on God, country and family. Hannukkah - Jewish assimilation. Xmas - Santa Claus and gifts. Kwanzaa - Black Lives Matter. I'd call them Happy Holidays if it wasn't  a neo-Nazi dog whistle  to vocal...

Summer of the Jackals

In the spring of 2021 I had a near death experience when my Chevy Silverado loaded with 30 cases of wine was rear-ended at 50mph  by a young lady who was texting-while-driving at 9:30 AM. Her Mercedes sedan flashed in my driver side mirror a moment before impact and that microsecond of awareness gave me just enough time to pull my foot off the break and jam the gas so when she plowed into my trailer hitch the impact met no resistance and launched my truck across the road and into the woods. I had stopped in the road, left blinker signaling, waiting for an oncoming pickup truck to pass and, by the grace of God, it did pass me just as the distracted driver in the mirror slammed into my flashing taillight. Everyone walked away from the crash with no serious injury but if the impact had transpired 2 seconds earlier it would have been a “Road Warrior” bloodbath of terror and death. When I stepped out of my vehicle and looked through the roadside trees I had miraculously missed hitting i...
