Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Tonight's ONT Fights For Honor And Glory!But before we get to that, I want to bring up something important. Take a look at this map and tell me if it doesn't perfectly encapsulate where we are in America today: (Theme music for tonight's ONT) Deus Vult! I was today years old when I learned about the International Medieval Combat Federation. Apparently lots of European nations field teams in this martial art, where teams of knights fight in full armor with actual (blunted) weapons. They even have world championships each year, this year it's happening in Poland in May. I'd love to go but it's just a little too short notice, plus I'm not sure what the international travel situation will be. Sounds to me like it would be a hell of a time, like a Ren Faire without all the “edgy” Zoomer types. Here's a clip from a couple of years ago, check out the hit at right around 1:05. The guy with the bearded axe puts a major crease in the other guy's helmet.This Is My Shocked Face Milwaukee Judge and President of Drag Queen Story Hour Group Arrested, Charged With Child Pornography Wait, you mean that a guy who works to expose children to sexually deviant people was found with child pornography? What are the odds? This has got to be a first! (ETA I see Ace covered this today, so I'm going to cut the rest of this. Go read Ace's post) Best And The Brightest In This Administration Who’s Afraid of Jennifer Psaki? (Link goes to The Moscow Times) “The return of Jen Psaki to the team of the elected, according to preliminary data, U.S. President Joe Biden was expected, but the fact that such people occupy high government posts in a nuclear superpower is naturally alarming,” Elena Panina, a member of the State Duma’s International Affairs Committee, told the state-run RIA Novosti news agency.It's all propaganda, of course, and she was referring to this administrations “confrontational” attitude towards Russia, but personally I find an administration that has a spokesperson who couldn't figure out how to pour piss out of a boot if you printed instructions on the heel to be “alarming” too. A Smart Military Blog Ok, this is actually an ad for World of Warships, but it's also an interesting rundown of the ebb and flow of the fleet strength of the various combatants in WWII. I did not know, for example, that, on average, Germany had a new sub entering service every 2 days. Of course, by 1943 the US and Canada were putting 3 transport ships into service every day, which more than counterbalanced the German sub fleet. Magical Healing Tits This is amusing. It would be even more amusing if the bird in question were also a tit, then you'd have a real tit on tit situation.

The annoying thing about watch pockets is that with the loss of watches, especially big watches, theyre often no longer big enough to hold a small pocket knife, and thus keep the knife away from the phone.

67 That video said that warriors on both sides had mutual respect for each other.
Maybe in Europe, but in the Pacific? Nope. The Pacific theater redefined ruthless. -------------- The video is being polite and supportive, since a multi-national player audience is involved, and the old hatreds have mostly died with the ones who expressed them at the time. (Present political scene selectively exempted, maybe.) The Allies and Axis played nice through 1942 in the West, especially the North African campaigns where the desert was an enemy to all combatants. Post-1942 Wehrmacht and Waffen SS units sent to the West Front from the East Front frequently brought their acquired bad habits with them, and atrocities against POWs and occupied populations hardened the hearts of the Allied soldiers. The dogged loyalty to the Third Reich also was ever-more irritating to the Allies as 1944 dragged on into 1945, and resulted in ruthless action towards pockets of resistance.

107 8th AAF crews were pulled from action after 25 missions.
The odds of them reaching 25 were not good. Lots of us are afraid of flying on flights where the odds of getting killed are much higher driving to the airport. ------ True that. But as the toll of combat increased, the number of mission flights completed was increased to 30 and then 35. I've been re-reading D-Day by Stephen Ambrose this week, and he cited a B-17 crewman who was on his 66th mission providing supporting bombardment of Omaha Beach.

Maybe in Europe, but in the Pacific? Nope.

Speaking of mutual respect between Germans and us in WWII, I can tell you one that was pretty good. I think I've told it before here, so I'll be brief. Had a neighbor back the 90s. He was a German, and a retired engineer who moved in to the area. In his youth, he was a crewman aboard a U-boat. They got captured out in the Atlantic, and he spent the rest of the war in one of our POW camps in Georgia. He liked America so much that when he was repatriated, he went to work on getting back here, which he did after getting an engineering degree. Anyway, he told the story of being captured. They were defeated and the German captain gave the order to abandon ship. German captain was the last to leave his ship, as is traditional. We picked them up, and Konrad told of being surrounded and held prisoner and being scared to death. Then their captain came aboard. Full honors for the German captain. He's piped aboard with the full shebang, with all our officers and me rendering salutes. He marches slowly and proudly up to our captain, standing there to receive him. He snaps a salute to our captain.

Our captain then returns the German captain's salute as smartly as he could, clicking his heels even. They then *shake hands* and say a few words (he didn't say if a translator was involved, one might not have been needed). The German captain then asks for permission to address his captured men, which our captain grants. The German told his men something to the effect, "You have served your country well, and did me proud to lead you. Now, the war is over for you and me. Do what the Americans say and you will be treated well. The American captain has given me his word of honor." And after that, Konrad realized things weren't gonna be so bad.

As I remember, their U-boat sank. It was badly damaged in the battle, and the German captain made the decision to give up and surrender, 'cause they would've all gone down with it had he not. Konrad was just a grunt who worked in the engine room (he used to love to talk about the diesel engines in those things) and wouldn't know the higher level stuff, but I'm sure that captain scuttled or tried to as much of intel value as he could.

And something else cool about Konrad. He was with my father and his buddies at some get-together to-do thing, and was introduced to some other guys around here he had never met. Turned out one of them was a sailor on one of the American ships involved in that battle with Konrad's U-boat. Those two got involved in a detailed discussion about what happened. It went something like, "Why did you do X?" "We, we thought Y..." "Y!? No, we were thinking Z!" Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion of a Poperin Pear at March 18, 2021 11:30 PM (Mzdiz) 285

As a general rule, a loss for Team Biden is a win for the American people.

Every few years somebody comes out with an even more detailed book with things you never read before. Of course, the books cost $100 now, lol.

I don't know how it ends. Maybe the real military \Trump are going to make sure things don't get disastrous, and make sure the 22 election is real and the Dems get destroyed...can't you see this as modified Q without the drama to keep the chaos level down? The tell will be if things continue to look dire and threatening according to the media but nothing horrible actually happens but general Carteresque floundering.

China's a garbage dictatorship criminal regime, talking like such vermin always talk. That statement of theirs was pathetic. Blinken's a non-entity of course, and speaks like a brand new junior political officer at some obscure regional conference. Most importantly, he's an idiot who astonishingly actually repeated the hilarious delusional nonsense that US allies are pleased the US is "back", that we are "engaged" again. "Back"? "Engaged"? It is a redundant measure of the idiocy of the US populace and the collapse of "elites" and institutions that such an absurd upside-down inversion of reality could be uttered without widespread ridicule.

Ask the krauts about gas pipelines, and trade with Iran, and many other areas where they aren't the faintest trace of an "ally". I think they'd whine about how "engaged" we were. Of course it's pathetic that the allies partners and associates who benefitted so dramatically from Trump's policies (like Japan, Australia, Israel, Saudi Arabia, just to begin with) and who obviously are greatly endangered by these ignorant clowns now in power don't have the dignity or stones to publicly issue any warnings or even leak their concerns.

Mitch's unintentionally uproariously hilarious "threats" the other day must reflect the utter contempt he and his ilk have for the intelligence and character of their "base". It's literally difficult to believe he said such absurd things that translated as "if you Dems end the filibuster we'll do all the things voters have demanded from us for years, and which Trump was elected to do, and which we did Zero to advance in response".
Is Tom Cotton losing sleep because the Dems (of course) are acting like alien barbarians? He was soooo "concerned" that if the Senate even did a half head-fake of carrying out its constitutional duty in terms of presidential elections, those awful nasty Dems might do "extreme" things.

The M0 base money supply is going to jump another trillion and half or so. Uncle has been holding around $1.5T digi-cash in his Fed account for about a year. With the stimulus, the lastest, they're going to dump it. So the base money supply is going to jump about $1T - 1.5T in a few weeks as they spend it all. There was some Fed rule that had to be modified to allow the banks to be able to absorb all that extra base money reserves. I forget. Various ratios of this to that, and the other to this. Anyway, they were going to be shot to hell. Anyway, M0 is going to shoot up a trillion in a week or two.

This is just insane. Treasury "spent" $300B in one fucking day. Now, pre-'08s crisis, the total money supply (M0) was about $800B. Only $50B of that was digi-cash reserves. Treasury used to have to be be very careful about how "high powered, M0" money it took out or put into the system from it's Fed account, so as not to make any shocks to the banking system reserves. Now, the fuckers can just, BAM!, increase it by $300B in one fucking day without a blip. We are truly in an insane world of monetary and fiscal policy.

And most of the gold market is paper anyway. You buy gold, (or silver or whatever William Devine is pushing) you get paper that says you have some sort of claim on X amount of some mass of gold. That's all bullshit. If you've got real physical gold on your property, that might mean something. You might have something that you could trade in the Mad Max, Burning Time. Maybe. But if it's paper, forget it. So me, I don't worry about that shit. All that matter is useful, real stuff that amounts to something in your daily life.

America is increasingly one big high school.
Posted by: Catch Thirty-Thr33 at March 19, 2021 01:04 AM (49Dnm) Yeah, I wrote this up a few weeks ago... The schoolyard view Yesterday at school, Teddy Cruz snuck off the playground while the school was holding a Chinese fire drill, and is now in detention. The school gossip, Polit Tick Ho, spread the rumor that Nikki pulled Donny's hair and Donny ain't talking to Nikki any more. They used to be friends, says Ho. The thing is, Ho has lied like 5,000 times, but all the dumb kids spread her shitty rumors like they are Gospel.Some of the smart ones do too. 1/2 Posted by: GnuBreed at March 19, 2021 03:39 AM (F0YaR) 555
2/2
The playground is divided into two sections. On the left, all the Teacher's Pets hang out, and have all the latest toys to play with. The right section is tiny and has a worn out tire swing and a scuffed up softball to play with. The dweebs aren't allowed onto either side, so they stand on the dividing line and shout at the poor righties. A couple of rich kids from the left side buys the dweebs batteries for their bullhorns from time to time. It entertains them.

My debate class teacher (female) had a 16yo girl take the side of "sex is great, and I do it safely" and then shut down the discussion when we started kicking the idea around in a clumsy but authentic way. Of course the difference between a citizen and a barbarian is that a citizen knows that ideas that aren't challenged aren't vindicated. That I knew, however vaguely, and the garbage teacher did not. If I could go back in time, I could debate the girl, debate the teacher, and it wouldn't even be close.
A few years after high school I saw the girl. She was wider (a few kids I assume) but basically the same. At the time I was working an ignominious job that required a tie and a nice shirt, but as far as she could tell I was a successful young man. She recognized me but did not approach. The 180 reversal between the super hot girl and the awkward anti-social guy was funny but sad. Posted by: BourbonChicken at March 19, 2021 03:45 AM (ybIRR) 559

I don't believe so, not totally. Can't really remember completely losing taste and smell. I've been doing the Keto thing, or near enough for about 18 months or so. Consequently I've had some allergy like symptoms that are persistent, that go along with caloric reduction I think are somewhat related to that. In fact, sometimes called the "keto flu".
On the plus side I lost 60 pounds of fat prior to the madness and have kept it off since then. Posted by: Common Tater at March 19, 2021 04:15 AM (ZXJxj) 575

It was kinda weird, because when I get a virus it usually clogs my head and then goes down to my chest for about three weeks. Not this time. And then a couple of months later, Progda started in with the various propaganda barrages that we all witnessed. I still vividly remember when about 5 days after Trump closed down the flights from China and Nancy Pelosi stood in SF Chinatown with dozens crowded around her and said "come visit us, everything is safe". Logic, reason, and reality had officially left the building. And here we are today, watching the American arm of the CCP melting down our country any way possible.

Good Friday morning, guys-and any gals- that might be here
May the Lord guide you in your work and in your day. And if you don't have to work today, what are you doing here at this time of the morning? Just habit of getting up early or what? Here is some spiritual advice from Fr. Pio- a, Italian Capuchin monk, priest and RC Saint Flee turmoil and anxiety with all your strength. Otherwise all your spiritual efforts will have little success or bear no fruit. We know for certain that when our spirit is in distress, the attacks of the enemy (Satan) are more numerous and more direct. He profits from our natural weakness to succeed in his purpose. Let us be on the alert about this very important point. Whenever we fall into discouragement, let us stir up our faith and entrust ourselves to the arms of the heavenly Father, who is always ready to receive whoever sincerely comes to him. Flee turmoil and anxiety is easier said than done, but it's good advice nevertheless. Posted by: FenelonSpoke at March 19, 2021 05:38 AM (VP4Cd) 612

You should have been hanging out with we other old folks on yesterday's '79 thread. Maybe you were. Posted by: FenelonSpoke at March 19, 2021 05:51 AM Nah, I was probably making dinner. '79 was a good year but man oh man did I screw up in '76. If you wanna put me on the prayer list to 'unscrewup' that event it would be welcome. You may need to rearrange the proper wording for the deities. :~) Posted by: Deep Thoughts at March 19, 2021 05:58 AM (N/gDA) 627
Things I am pondering after waking too early - does the bellicosity coming out of China and Russia have anyone getting deja vu for the 60's? As expected, the Atlanta murders have started down a rabbit hole, has anyone else wondered why the guy wasn't wearing a mask? Almost like he wanted to be identified. The NFL signed a $100 billion in new contracts - were they in the Covid bill and no one noticed? Sorry for the Faulkner thing this morning.

Odd things I watch early morning. Live video of Boarding passengers on Air Greenland plane. They have to walk aways to get to the plane. Looks cold and snowy but I bet they are ready for spring. Remember when Trump wanted to buy the country...Nice looking red planes though.

Early mornin', all,
Up early, preparing to take the cats to the shop for some work, and to flea-bomb the apartment while I'm gone. I have to bag some stuff that I want to protect from the spray, cover other things, close some into a closet that I'll keep shut. Plus I have to load the beasts into their carriers. One is going in simply for his rabies shot. The other needs to be groomed, possibly sheared like a feline sheep. If he comes back nearly bald, I have Rogaine and Hair Club for Cats jokes all ready!

A shame I missed the 1979 thread. It was a good year for me: the last great year for pop music; I moved back to Gnaw-luns from Lafayette, which I hated (and I'd love to live in its 75K people world now); started working on a novel which I eventually finished and trunked -- but a lot of the characters and themes were re-usable; etc. My gosh, forty-two years ago!

I will be glad to pray for you. Posted by: FenelonSpoke at March 19, 2021 06:17 AM That's nice. My wife pulled out all stops and did the nine day Novena thing but... *crickets* It's one helluva story, if true. I'd love to know the truth.

I bought my first house around 1979. Interest rate was 13 percent and going up. I felt I was lucky to get such a 'low' rate. I think it went to 18 percent shortly after. And the gas lines. Had to plan a trip anywhere, on the odd and even days you could buy gas. Not fun times.
Posted by: Colin at March 19, 2021 06:47 AM (3Asyk) 659
I am not sure you can hang things like "decline" on single years (there is a lot of ruin in a great nation), but 79 will always be a milepost for the decline and ultimate fall of the US. The year Jimmy Carter surrendered Iran to barbarians. You can track a lot of present day issues to that butterfly wing moment.

Good morning! It's a sultry 29F outside and we're supposed to get another 2-4 inches of snow on Sunday. I still have a couple of feet of that crap around the hot tub and a heavy coat atop the grill out back. I'm gonna have to clear that stuff and burn a barnyard animal this weekend.

Well, good morning, and the gnats are back. Little bastards get annoying and when you have a few eye floaters are very difficult to swat. That's about the only problem other than the Retard of Pennsylvania Ave trying his best to give away anything west of Catalina Island to the chinks and signing away a lot of the southern border to the drug cartels.

Posted by: Colin at March 19, 2021 *** Gas lines were not a problem for me, not really. During early 1979 I worked the night shift, got off at 9 am, and so when I went to the gas station, most people were at work* and the lines were very short. By the time I started a day shift, the so-called crisis was over. * Unlike now, when the roads are choked all day long with our fellow "citizens" driving around spending their EBT cards paid for by our taxes.
