Here’s Your Christmas Card

The Holiday Blues
Winter on either side of the Equator is somewhat unpleasant because days are short, and going out isn’t like it is in the summer months. Somehow it’s now cute to have POC tranny tap dancers in the White House. Sort of a Hunger Games Theme? I think that it’s enabled during the holidays.
Bullet Points:
** You’re asking me how much faith I have in my fellow man? I look both ways before crossing a one-way street.
** In Gaza, the practice of flooding tunnels with sea water has been judged successful. Philistines say that it isn’t a problem. More here.
** As a reminder to all democrat women, it’s time for your annual prostate exam. Prostate cancer among democrat women is at an all-time high. Take a PSA test, so you know. Nobody understands why it only impacts women of a particular political orientation. This is a public service announcement from Virtual Mirage.
** Historically, when have people ever voted themselves into independence?
** Zero Hedge reported, “IBM has been hit with a federal civil rights complaint after James O’Keefe posted a video leaked by an insider of CEO and Chairman Arvind Krishna outlining racist business practices.
“‘On December 11, 2023, a tape of IBM Chief Executive Officer and Board Chairman Arvind Krishna was released on X.4 In the video, Krishna promises to fire, demote, or deny bonuses to corporate executives who either fail to meet the corporation’s racial and national origin hiring quotas or who hire too many Asian individuals,’ reads a letter from America First Legal Foundation.”
Krishna was born in India.
** More Fiction (h/t Claudio) OX-XO
** It’s the season for a party.

** Filming gay porn in a US Senate hearing room? Unfortunately, yes. (zerohedge) Of course, it’s a democrat staffer. The whole Sodom and Gomorrah theme in DC is getting very old.
** Did the FBI director lie before Congress? Maybe I should clarify by asking if he lied AGAIN about the FBI targeting Catholics because of their faith. “Ninety-eight formerly hidden pages of FBI documents show that the FBI’s improper targeting of Catholics was apparently a multi-office operation approved by the agency’s top lawyers. The watchdog Judicial Watch obtained the heavily redacted documents and said they should trigger a criminal investigation.
** (h/t Claudio) December 17, 2023: South Korea is again considering developing and manufacturing its own nuclear weapons. The cause is the growing instability of North Korea, and South Korea fears that the United States won’t fulfill its pledge to attack North Korea with nuclear weapons if the North attacks South Korea with nukes.

Looking Forward to Christmas

Gift Idea
It’s almost too late for Christmas mail, but I received an e-mail, and so I am promoting this in honor and memory of SO1 Christopher P. Brittingham USN (July 31, 1993 – December 7, 2020)
From URT – We were honored to produce the shirts designed by Britt’s family. And with the guidance of his family, we have made his memorial shirts available to the public. The proceeds from these shirts will be going to Britt’s favorite organizations. We are humbled to learn about Britt’s legacy and his ongoing impact within his community.
Below is a description written by those closest to Britt.
“On December 7, 2020, Christopher Brittingham, also known as Britt, left this life to be with Jesus. Many believe that once a person leaves this life, that’s the end; there’s nothing else. However, we know that there is a life after this life. Britt is not dead; he is alive. He is more alive now than ever before. This shirt represents Britt’s life here on Earth but also serves as a reminder that his life continues.
There are four symbols on the front of the shirt: a bike, a seal, goggles, and a cross.
- The seal represents Britt’s life as a Navy Seal in the US Navy. He committed his life to serving his country and countrymen.
- The bike represents Britt’s passion for mountain biking. He was always down for a good mountain biking adventure.
- The goggles represent Britt’s love for scuba diving and skydiving.
- The Cross represents Britt’s undying love for Jesus Christ. Britt loved to have fun, but his mission in life was to serve Jesus Christ.
The back of the shirt says “Britt Lives On.” This symbolizes that Britt isn’t dead. Rather, his love for adventures has been taken to the next level. There is also a coffee cup symbol and the Scripture Psalm 37:4 on the bottom of the shirt. The coffee cup represents Britt’s love for coffee. While on deployment, Britt would roast his own beans and offer coffee to his buddies. When Britt offered a cup of coffee, it was his way of inviting someone into a conversation to build a friendship.
Psalm 37:4: “Delight Yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.” This was Britt’s life verse. This verse encouraged Britt to go after his dreams and to live an adventurous-filled life even when faced with challenges.

***Proceeds from shirt sales will be going towards the Britt Lives On Foundation

in the USO Tour line-up…

Identify the Aircraft:
1. SNCASO SO.8000 Narval
2. Tarrant Tabor
Identify the SPA:
Best I can do is a D-30 howitzer on T-62 hull
The SPA is a Nigerian abomination, and you got as close to it as I could. There is a lot of hermaphrodite armor in Africa and post-Cold War Central Asia. I try to avoid the temptation to slide it in here MOST of the time.
Of course, the blonde bombshell eye candy with the CH-53 in the USO tour is DRMRSPAULM
MrsPaulM just mentioned the gal behind her in the blue is Mary Johnson, daughter of David Johnson, co-founder of Polaris. Wiki says they developed the MRZR (Utility Tactical Vehicle) for the Marine Corp, and the DAGOR (Deployable Advanced Ground Off-road) for SOCOM. (Gotta love military acronyms)
Small world.
You could have married into the Polaris fortune and ended up as one of our betters, as EVP of a Beltway Bandit. Wow, you dodged that bullet.
I did, would never trade what we have for all that Polaris money offering a life of leisure where people do things for you, cook your meals, keep the gardens nice, taking the Lear for Summers at the 10,000sqft “cottage” on Flathead Lake…wait!…let me rethink this! Heh.
Funny tho, MrsPaulM prefers the Polaris ATVs over other brands, we have two for chores and getting around the place. Their stint together might have had something to do with it.
You’ll understand that many on the blog regret your decision on a selfish basis. We’d be arranging a group buy of Polaris military-grade gear through your choice of life partner (anticipating an appropriate discount).
Heck, me too, both those M-Grade “vehicles” are awesome looking and a discount would be needed to acquire one…or a dozen.
(Ps. I got the better deal tho..had to wait 2 decades but totally worth it. Okay, I’ll shut up now, braggin’ on my bride is probably causing a few to throw up in their mouths.
BUT…here’s the deal…as this photo and few others brought about:
ALL of you who served are so respected by myself and her that words simply can not convey the appreciation and sacrifice, she wanted to do her part…and in my mind that puts me third in line as I never served.)
“look both ways before crossing a one-way street”
Of course. Only careless people, or fools, don’t do that.
Arvind: rule by men from the subcontinent will be worse than our current rulers. The South Asians have all of the vices, but few of the virtues, of our current white-hating, resentment filled “elites”.
WHICH hot blonde bombshell? The one in pink in first row, or the second from right in second row? That’s practically a Farrah Fawcett-do that dude’s rocking.
Hell, I look both ways before crossing a track in the woods, let alone crossing a road. And I also make sure that the asshat who has a stop sign actually, you know, stops before I proceed into the intersection.
Trust my fellow man? Hah. Hah hah. Hahahahahhahahahahahaaaaaaaahahahaaaaaaa.
When i think of the abominations that the last two Demoncratic Administrations/Regimes have produced, particularly at Christmas, I am ashamed that this country hasn’t risen up and removed these perverts from leadership.
I look forward to meeting Britt some day, but hopefully a little farther in the future.
Ruthie?
We had the Obamanation (1 and 2) and now Abomination (3) with Big Mike hoping for a shot at the title.
You have some time before shaking hands with Britt.
Good one Ed…you get 20 VM Digital Green Stamps. The stories she has would be fun for a bunch of you guys who served. Mike-C, the blonde dude is the drummer, plus in ‘79 what young male outside of the military didn’t have longer hair?
Long hair – I know a guy who kept his hair short until it went out of style, then grew it long for a brief period…just to be contrary :)
Tunnel flooding- The Comment from the Zerohedge article tell an insane story of the number of American bubble-dwellers who have little to no understanding of what a proper response to an evil attack on woman and children by a bunch of psycho’s. Curious how a mind gets so twisted they actively push for Palestine regardless of evidence?
Britt- Had never seen the URT website…thanks for the heads up for a worthy place to send some support.
Christmastime – The total joy in that photo (how could you not)…despite those wishing to steal our joy from all angles I’m working to emulate that emanation between now and Christmas, challenges be damned.
Hot Blonde- FINALLY, one I can ID with one eye closed and both hands tied behind my back…no AI required.
Buying a shirt is a small thing, but it helps.
I have more than a few shirts… too many of that sort. sic transit gloria mundi.
The Philistines dwelling in tunnels with blood on their hands need to be drowned like rats.
Either schools are not teaching Nazi Germany, or people, especially many of those article Commenters, have lost their ever-loving minds. Doubtful they have a clue what they’re supporting (yet do so with confidence and fervor)…likely don’t know Palestine put Hamas in charge in ‘06. Gee, let’s just put the fox in charge of the henhouse, what could possibly go wrong…as Hamas launched yearly missile attacks on Israel, not the other way around. IDF is righteous in their actions, remove these evil-doers from the planet. Then again, Boulderites think prairie dogs should be left unchecked.
Ps. “Soda”…never heard the term “Pop” until moving to Colorado in’84. Same with “tennie’s”, we called ‘em sneakers (tennis shoes were for tennis).
Pop or Soda Pop around here since childhood.
A local favorite flavor is branded Red Pop (Faygo).
When I went to Michigan I started hearing soda from people from the east.
I have heard “diet” used as if the waitress would know what flavor.
It was tonic in northern New England when I grew up (circa 1950).
The Coke, soda, pop map clearly shows the progress of the invasion from the northeast and west.
further evidence the coasties have all but vanquished the free thinking “rebels” of
“flyover”.
I fall firmly in the “soda” camp, rarely “coke”. Never “pop”. Pop is my dad, not a drink
I don’t care what that map says, I don’t know anyone who refers to pop as soda. Around here pop is that sugary flavored fizzy water. Soda is what some like to mix with scotch. I have no real use for either.
** You’re asking me how much faith I have in my fellow man? I look both ways before crossing a one-way street.
Then you are hit by an airplane.
(I look both ways in a traffic circle/roundabout/abomination)
Traffic circles are worse when driving in Japan, OZ, or Old Blighty, where they drive on the left side of the road. I understand that it’s a habit to drive on the right side, but damn.
When I was living in England it always used to throw me off when we took a vehicle on the fast ferry to Calais. Went around traffic circles one way in England then 45 minutes later you were going around them the other way when you got to France. To make matters worse you were going 50-60 mph on 3 lane traffic circles. Entertaining.
I found that big one in Naples to be a demolition derby.
Germany circa 1960’s maneuvering a 5 ton bridge truck with a tilt bed trailer around a traffic circle with German drivers not giving way was a ‘treat’. My buddy, Tom O’Connor, got pissed and pulled his truck directly across the traffic circle blocking it. He then stood on the running board saluting all the Rads as twenty or so trucks traveled the intersection. Tom, being lazy, only used one finger to wave while calling the irate Rads Nazi “m***********s”. Later, he received a stern talking to by his green pea 2nd LT Platoon Leader. Good times!
Oft times you only need to use one finger to express yourself. More than one (Brits use two) is wasted energy.
Did the FBI director lie before Congress? Hmm, I would reply “is the Pope Catholic” but that doesn’t really apply anymore so let’s go with “Does the sun come up in the morning?”
Trust in fellow man, yep look both ways when crossing a street and keep your head on a swivel when you are walking in parking lots.
Congratulations are certainly in order for Paul M.
Filming gay porn. Serious question; can we bring back public punishment like flogging? How about tar and feathers? Who in their right mind would think this was acceptable behavior?
Nuclear weapons. If they haven’t already both South Korea and Japan could join the nuclear club pretty quickly. I don’t think that would be a bad thing. Due to all the draw downs over the years the U.S. is getting to a point where we have made more promises to militarily support other countries than we have nukes to provide that support.
I doubt they thought it was acceptable behavior.
It is a metaphor for what happens to us in congress every other day.
Rogering the American public is an art form now.
Roger that.
I saw what you did there, Ed.
:)
X2 to both Ed’s…the gay porn thing only exposed the level of demented depravity of the inhabitants of OUR congressional buildings. Add to that insider trading and laundering and you have a recipe for a level of corruption most of us can hardly comprehend. It’s more than what’s in the water.
The level of tolerance for satanic level depravity astounds me.

A$$holes. (sorry, only one word for it)
Wrote my useless Rep., Judy Armaile (D)…told her We The People are fed up with The Statehouse Dem’s childish fiat crap and to expect PDJT to be the biggest write-in candidate in Colorado’s history, can’t stop truth.
How do you feel about the long stock on the opening infographic rifle? I have one (Magpul) on an AR 10 and think I like the adjustable/telescopic variant better, more cheek weld. (for me)
Then there’s homosexual orgies in the Senate.
It’s starting to look a lot like ancient Rome in its final iteration.
Fibbies… The lips are moving, they’re lying. Great pic of you with the grands!
Regarding the tunnel flooding, now that sections are full of water, fill with explosives and seal said sections and then blow the explosives. Water will find the weakest links and open up new unflooded sections.
Otherwise, someone lying to Congress? What???
