Space Ice roasts the new Roadhouse
I think he's wrong but I know some of you didn't like it. His Best Movie Ever review of the original Roadhouse was funnier.

Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah, Here I Am at Intifada: "Are we willing to do whatever is necessary to preserve our freedom? The other side has clearly demonstrated what it is willing to do, and is actively doing, to take it away. That requires self-preservation 'by any means necessary.' As Allen Ludden (or Bert Convy) might say, the password is Revolution. Contemplating such a thing is unfathomable. But seeing New York City “fundamentally transformed” into Nuremberg-on-the-Hudson, the unfathomable quickly becomes not only fathomable but quite reasonable." My latest at Taki's Magazine. Please read and comment! [J.J. Sefton]

Joe Biden knows what it's like for wives (or husbands) of policemen to get that phone call telling them their spouse has been shot, because "I've gotten one of those phone calls, under different circumstances"
Wow, Beau Biden was a police officer killed in duty in addition to being a daring warfighter KIA in Iraq or Afghanistan or wherever Joe needs it to be! A real renaissance man of action! And a first-rate all-purpose corpse!More Biden gaffes at Red State

The Onion, a site which literally everyone simultaneously decided to stop reading in 2008, has new owners, who vow the site will be "as relevant as Matt Drudge and as conventional-wisdom-challenging as Howard Stern"

WTF?! New York appeals court overturns Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction from landmark #MeToo trial And yet Donald Trump was forced to pay off a psychotic liar and rape-fantasist for libel? A "libel" that accurately called her out as a liar for lying about him raping her in a Bergdorf's elevator? With the Alvin Bragg/Letitia James' Stalinist show trials still going on? It is to laugh. And vomit [J.J. Sefton]

CJN is shocked at how shocked Jews and other liberals are to discover anti-Semitism coming from the movement they supported for decades, while being somewhat heartened that maybe the scales are at last falling from their eyes. Happy Passover to all!

CJN SPEAKS! THE PODCAST After his groundbreaking poll showing widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election, Jim Lakely, VP and Dir. of Comms at the Heartland Institute discusses a shocking poll showing an equally large percentage of respondents willing to commit election fraud this November, and what it says about the state of our nation and society.

Space Ice's review of Road House (the Patrick Swayze one) is so good that you'll start doing half-naked tai chi at dawn
He calls the villain in the movie "Bob Iger." He's always making jokes about what shitholes LA, SF, and NYC are. I'm telling you, this guy is a (taps nose) Good Fella.

Critical Drinker summarizes the Warhammer "Wokehammer" controversy
Warhammer exploded in popularity (and money-making) during covid so BlackRock and Vanguard and all the other wokies decided to step in and ruin it to propagate "The Message"

Reddit rumor: Games Workshop changed the lore of Warhammer 40K because Amazon -- which infamously ruined Tolkein with Rings of (Girl) Power -- demanded that insert a female character in power armor.
There actually is a an all-female unit of "Fighting Nuns" called the Sisters of Battle. There is already-existing lore about female fighters. But according to this rumor, Amazon said that the Sisters of Battle weren't enough, they wanted female characters in the emperor's bodyguard (the Custodes). There are additional claims/speculations that Henry Cavill may walk away from the project, which I find hard to believe, because this is his dream project. He called this "the greatest professional honor of my life." He's been playing the game and reading the novels since he was 10. He is probably the wokies' greatest weapon in this fight.

86 All Agents of Control ". . . [the chaos] of elegant, natural freedom and independence [what Adam Smith referred to as 'the invisible hand'] is in direct contravention of those who have unleashed ideologically driven chaos by destroying freedom of choice in the quest to 'control' individuals as just one mass of a populace. Again, for our own good because we're too stupid and unenlightened to know what's good for us." My latest essay at Taki's Magazine. Please read and comment. [J.J. Sefton]

Biden lied yesterday about his uncle being shot down and then "eaten by cannibals" in Paupa New Guinea. He claims the "government" told him they'd found pieces of the airplane on that island and so the uncle must have been eaten by cannibals. In fact, the plane crashed into the ocean due to engine failure, and we know this as a fact, because one of the fellow crewmen survived and thus reported on the tale. No cannibals, no island crash -- it landed in the ocean, as the official reports say, so no "government" officials would secretly whisper to Biden about a cover-up about cannibals.
By the way, I saw someone note this: Why is Biden angering New Guinea with a lie about their population being cannibals? #ForeignPolicyExpertJoe

A reviewer from Tablet calls Civil War a "good movie" with "stupid politics"
The film relies on a mostly unexplained premise that a future third-term U.S. president has dissolved the FBI, turning the United States into an authoritarian state. Garland doesn't beat the audience over the head with his intentions or his politics. However, in his press tour for the film--including an advance NYC screening earlier this week I attended--he revealed that he felt no need to explain why the country broke apart. "Everyone knows," he says. Indeed, we do.
Without making it explicit in the film, Garland clearly wishes to make an allusion not just to the orange man--and his all-too-familiar badness--but the much-lamented rise of "dangerous populism" across the West. Garland is subtle in how he takes sides, but he clearly aligns with the elitist interpretation of rising mass dissatisfaction as driven by the bad behavior of deplorables and their ignorant love of "disinformation."

Almost One Million

248,000 jobs in May, beating economists' expectations. April and March both revised upwards, so that 947,000 jobs were created in three months. And:

Virtually every major sector of the economy added jobs in May, from retailing to construction industries. Particularly notable were 32,000 new hires in manufacturing -- a fourth straight monthly increase and the biggest for any month since August 1998 when 143,000 manufacturing jobs were created, the department said.

A reader's email made me increase the size of the cowbell with this line:

Even Bruce Dickinson (yes, THE Bruce Dickinson) can't call for enough
cowbell here.

Okay, for THE Bruce Dickinson, more cowbell.
