“Not a single Roman work of art — sculpture, coinage, or painting — displays a salute of the kind that is found in Fascism, Nazism, and related ideologies… It is also unknown to Roman literature and is never mentioned by ancient historians of either republican or imperial Rome. The gesture of the raised right arm or hand in Roman and other ancient cultures that is attested in surviving art and literature had a significantly different function and is never identical with the modern straight-arm salute.”
— Martin Winkler, in “The Roman Salute: Cinema, History, Ideology”

…just in case you run into any fashy apologists or Musk symps trying to explain it away by saying it’s a “Roman Salute”.

So just cut the crap already, ‘cos all the wide-open fash are wide-open loving it and — like the original — the Early 21st sequel also features craven-ass collaborators, in the form of the Democratic Party.

I was peeping the news from L.A. along with Kathleen Wallace’s recent Substack column about Boss Media hand-wringing over the fate of film and TV stars whose homes were lost in the fires which got my brain sizzling, but the final inspiration was overhearing some smarmy, plaintive woman’s voice on MSNBC talking about people whose homes and neighborhoods lay in smoking ashes, burning schools and playgrounds, people who’d lost everything and had to evacuate with nothing but what they could shove into a bag, living in their cars, living in tents — and it sounded for all the world as if she were describing Gaza, except she was talking about goddamned L.A. …and I thought of News Nation, CNN, the L.A. Times and Associated Press clutching their pearls and moaning OH, WON’T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE STARS…?

Y’mean, the Hollywood stars who pimp and symp for Israel and Zionism, who gladly, gleefully support the incineration and destruction of neighborhoods like theirs on the other side of the Earth by the Chosen People™? Y’mean, those stars?

Hooray for Gazawood!

“…the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it…”

For some time now, even the clods on MSNBC and in the Democratic Party have acknowledged that yes, there is a class war going on. I’d just been wondering how long it was going to be before the working class got off its ass and started shooting back.

Cripes, man… how many years now — since at least the first Trump Regime — has the U.S. Left been pummeling us silly with academic jargon like “praxis” and hardly ever at all actually showing us “praxis” in action (as it were)?

Now, you vegan-potlucking clowns want to talk praxis? Luigi served us up some praxis, sizzlin’ hot and spicy.

Happy New Year, MUTHAFUCKAAAHHHHS.

“By pardoning his son, Joe Biden has reneged on a public promise that he made repeatedly before and after dropping out of the 2024 presidential race. The president and his top White House spokesperson said unequivocally, including after Trump won the 2024 election, that he would not pardon Hunter Biden or commute his sentence…”

Still waiting for the Liberal chatterers at CNN and MSNBC to unload with two solid hours of screeching about how nobody is above the Rule Of Law™.
