This old barber refuses service to Muslims. Because they “suck.” Hopefully his appointment book is full for the next five years. 😂😂🤣🤣👍
A Creative Genius Is Gone
The forces of mockery and satire against our deteriorating society have suffered an irreplaceable loss. Scott Adams, the creative genius behind the Dilbert comic strip that satirized the American workplace like nothing else before or since, succumbed to metastatic prostate cancer today at the age of 68. I knew he had been ill for a long time, but was unaware that his condition was so advanced.
Like almost everyone else in America who had to suffer the dismal prison of Corporate America, I was a Dilbert junkie during the late 1990s and through the first decade of the century. I could never get enough of Adams’ cynical humor that so closely resembled the reality of the workplace for so many of us. Adams’ “Dilbert Principle” should stand shoulder to shoulder with the Peter Principle as one of the fundamental truths of modern organizational reality, as it answers so very well the question of “why are most people in positions of power and authority today such fucking incompetent idiots?”
Adams had moved on to other projects by the second decade of the century, including a regular podcast that discussed politics, conspiracy theories, and various and sundry other topics. I found these to be much less compelling and engaging than his Dilbert work, and frequently disagreed with his take on things. However, this in no way detracts from his achievements in awakening the masses to the reality of the cage of absurdities in which most of them spent a huge portion of their daily lives. The fact that Dilbert’s debut coincided with the rise of the Internet was propitious indeed, and I cannot imagine its popularity becoming as strong as it did without that medium. Other satirical media such as The Onion and The Babylon Bee owe a great debt to Adams for the ground he broke in the genre of satirical social commentary. It is unlikely that we will see another artist of his special creative caliber anytime soon.
Rest in peace, Scott. You’ve made our lives tremendously richer in this era of protracted decay.
Donald Trump: America’s First Jewish President
I don’t think any of us can seriously deny that we’ve known it for a long time, if not all along. At a minimum, a New York native does not succeed in either business or politics without greasing pointyhat palms or french-kissing pointyhat ass. If this new addition to the Unz Review is to be believed (and there is no obvious reason to disbelieve it), then Trump is much more than a mere “friend of Israel;” he is a Jew in everything but blood and confession. It certainly explains everything that we’re now witnessing in Term Two.
Either “Warsaw” Minneapolis, Or Kick Minnesota Out Of The Federal Union
I’m watching the ongoing drama in Minneapolis with a growing sense of disgust and impatience – with both sides of the conflict.
To the Minneapolis leftards battling ICE as if they’re an occupying foreign army, I say: either accept and obey federal immigration laws like the rest of the country does, or form a movement to pull your state out of the federal union and set up the socialist utopian nation of your dreams that will be free of the toxic American cultural and legal norms you so clearly despise. Those are your two choices. You don’t get to suck up tax money from your fellow Americans while shitting on them, their laws, and their sensibilities by importing violent alien invaders. You want to be a mongrel society of lawless criminals and socioeconomic nihilism? Fine. Then do it outside of the American federal umbrella. The rest of the country doesn’t owe you its support.
To ICE I say: defecate or get off the commode. For all practical purposes you are an occupying army, not because you are doing anything immoral or illegal, but because the inmates of the open-air asylum called Minnesota have made it clear that they don’t want to be American citizens or follow American laws anymore. But as long as they still are American citizens and still subject to federal laws pertaining to immigration, you have full authority to force them to comply with those laws. If they have chosen violent resistance to those laws, then you exercise proportional violence to ensure compliance. In this case it is beginning to appear as if that will require you to do to Minneapolis what the German Wehrmacht did to Warsaw, Poland in the penultimate year of World War II: raze it to the ground and drive the surviving inhabitants out of it. Start doing that and maybe they’ll either rediscover their respect for federal law, or they’ll choose secession. Personally, I want Minnesota out of the Union, along with California, Illinois, Washington, Oregon, Michigan, and all of the Northeastern states. Good riddance to stinking Marxist rubbish! Show some backbone, or be prepared to keep getting attacked and shat upon by anarcho-nihilists who are NOT Americans.
¡Venezuela Está Libre!
Venezuela is free! Nicolás Mierduro and his equally criminal wife were captured last night by U.S. forces in a raid on Miraflores, the presidential palace in Caracas. I just talked to my wife on WhatsApp a few minutes ago (6:00AM MST, 9:00AM Venezuela) and, needless to say, she and the entire country are weeping with joy and thanksgiving. Apparently the U.S. forces are still on the hunt for the Minister of Defense and the Vice President, Delcy Rodriguez, but there is a large enough bounty on their heads that I expect them to be in U.S. custody soon enough.
At any rate the violence appears to be confined solely to Caracas. The rest of the country is unaffected other than by celebrations of the end of a long nightmare. Needless to say, this is, for me and mine, a VERY good start to the new year! More to follow as events continue to unfold.
Happy New Year 2026!
I get the feeling that the tone of it will be reflected by Vinheteiro’s rendition of Auld Lang Syne below, but let us pray otherwise.

Immanuel: God With Us
Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. ~ Isaiah 7:14 (KJV)
Merry Christmas, Brothers and Sisters. Although we may be lacking in Christmas Spirit, let us never forget the reason for the season and the day.
It’s Different This Year
My title refers to the current Christmas Holiday season. It really, REALLY does not feel or seem like Christmas at all right now. Apparently it’s not just in my locality, either, but everywhere. I talk to my wife in Venezuela, my work colleagues in Europe and Canada, and my friends and family in other parts of the U.S. and they all agree with me that there is almost ZE-RO spirit of Christmas in the air, anywhere this year. Decorations that were once abundant and ubiquitous are few and far between today. Fewer houses sport Christmas lights and decorations compared to years past. Even churches seem to be hosting fewer Christmas events than in years past. What is going on?
Is it the worsening economy? That’s probably part of it, but our world has been through many economic crises in the past and yet still managed to keep the spirit of Christmas alive and well.
Is it because of wars and rumors of war? Perhaps. My wife says that Christmas celebrations in Venezuela are very low key this year compared to those of years past, now that U.S. military forces are making overt threats to the country and people are afraid. But that certainly doesn’t explain things globally.
Or is it because people are just generally unhappier than they’ve been in the recent past, darker in heart and spirit, are more depressed and fearful, and are living lives in which they feel that there is nothing to celebrate? Has the general abandonment of the true Christian faith finally caught up with Christmas?
This, I think, might be closest to the truth. It’s very disheartening and more than a bit terrifying to think that the church may be playing a role in this by neglecting its mission, by not reaching out more actively and reminding the world of what this season really means and the hope that it brings to mankind trapped in a sin and hopelessness-saturated world. Then again, I also know that very few churches nowadays are anything of the sort, so their failure at evangelism is almost a given.
What about you, dear readers? Do you believe that this Christmas lacks the spirit of those past?
