Captain Marvel Jedi

The ultimate Devil Mouse crossover is all but inevitable at this point:

Disney appears to be shuffling the cards as Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige will team up with Lucasfilm’s Kathleen Kennedy to produce a Star Wars film.

Walt Disney Studios co-chairman Alan Horn confirmed the project to The Hollywood Reporter stating:

“We are excited about the projects Kathy and the Lucasfilm team are working on, not only in terms of Star Wars but also Indiana Jones and reaching into other parts of the company including Children of Blood and Bone with Emma Watts and Fox. With the close of the Skywalker Saga, Kathy is pursuing a new era in Star Wars storytelling, and knowing what a die-hard fan Kevin is, it made sense for these two extraordinary producers to work on a Star Wars film together.”

Not only will Lucas be teaming with Kennedy for a Star Wars film, but THR reports, “One knowledgeable source says Feige has told a major actor that there’s a specific role he would like that person to play if and when he makes the movie.”

That report comes just hours after a rumor indicated Disney was looking to have Brie Larson play the lead role in an upcoming Star Wars film. It’s possible Larson could pull double duty in Star Wars and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

I can’t wait to read all the hate reviews of the eventual bomb. The only question will be who hates the crossovers more, the Marvel fans or the Star Wars fans. In either case, there will be a considerably fewer of them.

Human shield fail

None of the post-Baby Boomer generations fall for the “do it for the children” rhetoric anymore:

Motorists in Germany, the automotive heart of Europe, are not taking kindly to Swedish youth climate activist Greta Thunberg. Some drivers are sporting bumper stickers telling the girl, in so many words, to take a hike.

At the age of 15, Thunberg captivated a large segment of the media in Europe and the US with her impassioned calls for immediate action on climate change, prompting similar activism from youths the world over. As many German cities prepare to go carless, however, some drivers have not been appreciative of Thunberg’s globetrotting activism, and they aren’t afraid to tell their fellow motorists.

‘F**k you Greta’ bumper stickers appear on German roads, taking aim at youth climate activist

Some German social media users also noticed the trend, but not everybody found humor in the vulgar stickers, which can now apparently be purchased on Amazon.

“White Audi Q7 with sticker ‘F**k you Greta’ – is this the new ‘a heart for children’?” asked one Twitter user.

You’d think the global warming shills would have learned from the complete failure of the Sandy Hook and Parkland shootings to even move the needle on gun control. No one gives a damn if one, two, or a thousand kindergartens are reported as being shot up; they’re still not giving up their guns.

And most German motorists would quite cheerfully run over the Gretard before even considering giving up their autos and autobahns.

Besides, if the planet is overheating due to overpopulation, who gives a damn about children’s lives, let alone what they happen to think? And, perhaps more importantly, why would you let even one single immigrant enter the country and contribute to global warming?

All ur comedy is belong to us

The Hollywood Reporter divides comedy into SJW Empire and Alt-Right Rebels:

When Saturday Night Live fired Shane Gillis on Sept. 16 — just four days after he was cast as one of the latest Not Ready for Prime Time Players — the news was greeted with high-fives in much of the comedy community. Dana Gould tweeted that Gillis should strive to “be a better comic,” while Silicon Valley actor Jimmy O. Yang posted that Gillis deserved to go because he was “just plain racist.”

But not all comedians were rejoicing. On the contrary, the Gillis controversy — which began hours after his hiring, when podcasts surfaced of the 30-year-old Philadelphia comic calling presidential candidate Andrew Yang a “Jew chink” and spewing other racist and homophobic jokes — has become a flashpoint revealing a deep and widening rift in the comedy world. Like every other aspect of American life in the Trump era, stand-up is turning polarized, pitting comic against comic in an escalating civil war over what’s acceptable humor and what’s unfunny hate speech. “You millennials, you’re a bunch of rats, all of you,” Gillis defender Bill Burr snarled on David Spade’s Comedy Central show. “None of them cares. All they want to do is get people in trouble.”

If the pro-Gillis faction has a rebel base, it would be Gas Digital, a subscription streaming network (it charges $8.50 a month) based in New York’s East Village and catering to alt-right sensibilities — or what others see as envelope-pushing, “anything goes” comedy in the vein of Lenny Bruce or Sam Kinison. Gillis was a regular on its airwaves (it’s where he cracked his Andrew Yang jokes, as well as another in which he referred to Judd Apatow and actor Chris Gethard as “white faggot comics”).

Says Gas Digital co-founder Luis J. Gomez, “It’s funny, because when you said one side is very tolerant and inclusive, I was like, ‘Yes, that’s the side I’m on.’ ” Gomez, who co-hosts the service’s popular Legion of Skanks podcast (it tallies half a million downloads per episode), insists any characterization of his network as “alt-right” is wildly off base. “We are on the side of funny,” he says. “We’re just trying to create freely. I think when you get off Twitter and Reddit and YouTube, you find people who aren’t super sensitive about jokes.”

It’s amusing that they STILL don’t dare to mention the Big Bear’s name. It’s not authorized, you see. But any journalist who wants to schedule an interview with him or any other Unauthorized persona is more than welcome to contact our Public Relations Specialist, Pax Dickenson.

Shut up and go home, conservatives

If you’re not willing to actually fight for America, Western civilization, and Jesus Christ, you’re literally worse than useless:

Big Conservatives can’t have it both ways. Either there is a war between the Left and the rest of us or there is not. If there is a war, then leftists compose the enemy, an adversary that, not unlike any other adversary in war, needs to be destroyed.

Half-measures, to say nothing of such emphatically un-war-like activities as “reaching across the aisle” and dialoguing, are to be rejected unless and only if they can end hostilities on terms that do not contribute to the “fundamental transformation” of our civilization.

Big Conservatives who constantly call on their audiences to help them “fight” the Left need to decide whether they endorse Politics As Conversation or Politics As War.

They scarcely ever fail to use the rhetoric of war, and spend no small amount of time pointing out to their listeners, viewers, and readers how and why it is that the Left truly is toxic to the survival of Western civilization and America. Yet they just as rarely advocate any measures that could reasonably be said to constitute strategies, or even tactics, against this enemy.

Big Conservatives seldom possess the stomach to even call the Left—which they convict of all sorts of crimes against humanity—as the enemy of our civilization. This is why so many of them distanced themselves from President Trump when he followed, impeccably followed, the logic of their own narrative to its inescapable conclusion by calling out the leftist media as “the enemy of the people.”

Of course, it’s true that the hyperbolic rhetoric that comprises the politics-as-war template for which the Big Conservative media is known is far more titillating—far better for circulation, ratings, and, thus, profits—than the terminology proper to politics-as-conversation.

But as Master Al said, since real fights are war, and nothing less than life-or-death is at stake in war, those who would become combatants must be willing to either “go big” or “go home.”

Conservatives are useless losers. Don’t call yourself a conservative unless you too are a loser. Conservatives have conserved nothing – literally nothing – since Russell Kirk published his landmark work. It’s a failed non-ideology.

Conservatives are as useless as bowties on a battlefield.

The tip of the iceberg

It is increasingly apparent that these bizarre “impeachment” theatrics are an attempt to distract from the gathering Storm. From 4chan:

Hunter Biden is placed on the board of Ukraine’s most corrupt energy company, owned by (((them))), he has no knowledge nor experience for the position, one of the last acts of the Obama presidency was to send $1billion in aid to Ukraine, the entire deal was Joe Biden’s idea, the money was used to buy aid related things for the people of Ukraine, but the money went to fake corporations registered in Cyprus, the people never got any aid, the fake corporations were created by the energy company Hunter Biden is a board member of.

The US taxpayer money disappears, no aid is delivered to Ukraine, Trump becomes president, no one asks any questions where the money went nor why until now.

Before Hunter’s position as board member for the Ukraine company, he was one of the top guys at a company called Rosemont Seneca. The entire company was a scam, a front for legalized bribery. Chinese corporations that were fronts for the Chinese government invested heavily multiple times into Rosemont Seneca, hundreds of millions of dollars, and in return Joe Biden, along with John Kerry whose step son was in the company too, negotiated softball deals over US-China relations. Biden basically sold out the US, the American people, and the American military by allowing Chinese corporate expansion all over the world via sea routes, the interesting thing about Chinese corporation sea routes and ports is that their placements don’t make logical sense, unless you look at from a military point of view.

If Trump is actually going after Biden for his billion dollar scam, that may be the tip of the iceberg. The reason why politicians are beginning to call for Trump’s execution is because the Obama administration has done things that warrant that exact thing.

There are probably dozens, if not hundreds of similar scams to be uncovered. No wonder they are beyond desperate to delay the day of reckoning. Although “desperate” may be an understatement.

MSNBC cut from President Trump’s press conference on Wednesday, claiming the president was repeating lies about his political rival Joe Biden as a “deflection” from the impeachment inquiry. “We hate to do this, really, but the president isn’t telling the truth,” MSNBC host Nicole Wallace said as the network cut from Trump’s speech. 

Remember the third law of social justice. What is it that SJWs always do, besides lie and double down? Exactly. The fact that they connected “Joe Biden” and “deflection” tells you everything you need to know about the rationale for their actions.

Did every previous US President always tell the truth? Of course not. And did the media organizations covering them ever cut away from the broadcast on the basis claimed? There you have it.

Mailvox: are they that stupid?

Mystic on Main puts his judgment on the line:

That aside here’s what I’m thinking. The Dems must have seen the transcript of the call and they must not only know who the whistleblower is but also have talked to them. There’s no way Pelosi would have endorsed impeachment hearings without seeing there is something to grab on to. Which makes me think there is something they can run with.

Surely the Democrats couldn’t be that stupid, right? They couldn’t POSSIBLY be THAT stupid, right? They’re not THAT desperate about 2020 ALREADY, are they?

I guess we’re going to find out soon.

UPDATE: Yep, it looks like they really are that desperate and stupid.

The president’s phone call — made from the White House residence to Zelenskiy — began with Trump congratulating Zelenskiy on his election victory. Later, Trump veers into the Biden issue.

“I heard you had a prosecutor who was very good and he was shut down, which is really unfair,” Trump says on the call, according to the transcript. Trump then says, “There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, what Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that, so whatever you can do with the attorney general would be great.”

“Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution, so if you can look into it, It sounds horrible to me,” Trump said on the call, according to the transcript.

Zelenskiy replies that he’s appointing a new prosecutor who will “look into the situation.”

That is the only mention about Biden in the transcript of the call. The call transcript is five pages.

UPDATE: Democrats SAY they have their majority. But even the media doubts that they actually mean it:

Two hundred and eighteen House Democrats and one independent — a majority of the chamber’s 435 members — now favor some kind of impeachment action against President Donald Trump, according to an NBC News tally.

House Democrats reached the milestone a day after Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced a formal impeachment inquiry into the president following claims that he might have withheld aid to Ukraine to pressure officials there to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son.

That nearly all House Democrats support some kind of impeachment action represents a significant development in the chamber’s push forward with official impeachment proceedings.

But that doesn’t mean they will all vote to impeach the president.

It’s rather amusing to see Democrats behaving like Republicans traditionally do. They initially claim to want the same thing, then proceed to fight over the details on how to do it and end up doing nothing as a result. The God-Emperor really has them spinning in circles.

Leather-bound books

We’ve been looking into the possibility of making sets of leather-bound Junior Classics available, which raised the obvious question: are there any Castalia House books that people would like to be able to buy in a leather-bound edition? They wouldn’t be cheap, so we probably wouldn’t make more than four or five books available this way.

Discuss amongst yourselves.

UPDATE: Please note that I am only interested in hearing what books those individuals who have already expressed interest in deluxe leather-bound editions would be most interested in having produced. That’s why we’re looking into the various possibilities in the first place.

If that doesn’t describe you, that’s fine, but then this conversation doesn’t involve you.

Let it burn

It’s always interesting to speak to a Boomer or to a Millennial about my allegedly controversial status. Relatively few of the former and a minority of the latter are able to grasp my total disinterest in obtaining mainstream approval or authorization. More and more are beginning to get it, it must be admitted, but I do find it intriguing to observe how fellow Gen Xers and the younger Zoomers seem to be naturally less inclined to play along with the Narrative.

And as it happens, SNL hasn’t quite completely lost its fastball. Most likely because this is a topic that touches the younger generations across the political spectrum.

PARROT HEAD BOOMER: $8 MILLION IS NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE. SO OF COURSE I’M TAKING THE SOCIAL SECURITY.

CARRIE THE MILLENNIAL:  I’M SORRY. I CAN’T. YOU ARE TAKING THE SOCIAL SECURITY? BITCH, YOU ARE RICH!

SHOW HOST: OOH, SORRY, CARRIE. YOU DIDN’T KEEP YOUR COOL.

CARRIE THE MILLENNIAL: IT FEELS SO UNFAIR.

SHOW HOST: MAYBE YOU CAN TWEET ABOUT IT. THAT WILL SOLVE EVERYTHING. MY GOODNESS. I’M JUST PLAYING. I’M GEN-X. I SIT ON THE SIDELINES AND WATCH THE WORLD BURN.

The impeachment trap

The Democrats took the bait:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi launched a formal impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump on Tuesday, yielding to mounting pressure from fellow Democrats and plunging a deeply divided nation into an election year clash between Congress and the commander in chief.

The probe focuses partly on whether Trump abused his presidential powers and sought help from a foreign government to undermine Democratic foe Joe Biden and help his own reelection. Pelosi said such actions would mark a “betrayal of his oath of office” and declared: “No one is above the law.”

The impeachment inquiry, after months of investigations by House Democrats of the Trump administration, sets up the party’s most direct and consequential confrontation with the president, injects deep uncertainty into the 2020 election campaign and tests anew the nation’s constitutional system of checks and balances.

Trump, who thrives on combat, has all but dared Democrats to take this step, confident that the specter of impeachment led by the opposition party will bolster rather than diminish his political support.

The fact that the God-Emperor appears to be prepared to spring the trap tends to suggest that he is right.

The White House is preparing to release to Congress by the end of the week both the whistleblower complaint and the Inspector General report that are at the center of House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry, according to a senior administration official, reversing its position after withholding the documents from lawmakers.

The move shows the level of seriousness with which the administration is now approaching the House‘s new impeachment proceedings, even as President Donald Trump publicly tried to minimize the inquiry as a “witch hunt” or “presidential harassment,” or a move that will help him win his 2020 reelection campaign.

The administration official stressed the decision and timing could change over the next few days, but as of Tuesday evening the White House was planning give the information to lawmakers on Capitol Hill. The format of presentation, or process of viewing the documents,remained up in the air. The president has agreed to the move, the official added.
