Greetings and Salutations!
OK me Droogs, let me tell you.
It’s nice that /ourguy/ won.
That being said, and I’ve been using this description with ALL the folks I’ve talked to today:
Do Not Get COMPLACENT!!!
November 5th was like D-Day. June 6th, 1944. The Allies stormed the beaches at Normandy after a magnificent ‘bait and switch’ intel campaign that utterly convinced the German High Command that the Allies were going to invade at Calais, instead of where they really landed in Normandy.
To the point the Germans diverted some crucial military elements that might have caused some issues for the troops to Pas-de-Calais.
Per the World War 2 Museum Website:
After much deliberation, it was decided that the landings would take place on the long, sloping beaches of Normandy. There, the Allies would have the element of surprise. The German high command expected the attack to come in the Pas de Calais region, north of the river Seine where the English Channel is narrowest. It was here that Adolf Hitler had put the bulk of his panzer divisions after being tipped off by Allied undercover agents posing as German sympathizers that the invasion would take place in the Pas de Calais.
So ALL the heavy/medium armor was NOT at Normandy on the day of the invasion. Now… because of this, and other lucky breaks (nevermind the tenacity of /ourtroops/) we kicked the shit out of “Herman The German” and once we got out of hedgerow country, it was a pretty quick run to the German Border.
Which is where I start my analysis.
By mid November, early December 1944, the Allies, in particular the 101st Airborne, were so far forward, they were unware of what was coming. It was mainly because after the success of the D-Day landings and the subsequent ‘run to Germany’, many Allied commanders seriously underestimated the Krauts, and what exactly they had left in their ‘bag o’tricks’.
Before dawn on December 16, 1944 (0300 according to records), the Germans launched a massive counterattack using multiple units to include the Fifth Panzer Army, which bypassed Bastogne with the intent of seizing the port of Antwerp, as well as severing all the Allied Supply lines. It was because both the grunts on the ground as well as the higher-higher thought the Germans were done for, that they weren’t paying enough attention.
The whole “We’ll be home by Christmas” unfortunately became the daily mantra, both from the lowest Private, to the Generals in charge.
When the Germans -suddenly- rolled out, fully prepped for a party, and started utterly kicking the US Troops teeth in, it became a full on rout in a couple of cases… As stated, Bastogne was bypassed, and was considered a “we’ll get to them later” unit by the Germans…(Bad move Herman)
Heh…
We all know how all that shit turned out.
BTW: A quick note. A couple of historians who interviewed General McAuliffe after, as well as several others who were present at the time of the German demand of the surrender of the 101st, he (McAuliffe) did not say “Nuts!” as it’s been stated on the record.
Apparently it was ‘cleaned up’ due to the 1940’s values of the time… In reality, he told them on the demand to surrender: “Balls!” as in “Suck Deez!” is my guess… which from a DotMil perspective makes a Hell of a lot more sense… ‘Nuts’ never made any sense if you’ve been in the Infantry, never mind the 101st…telling the enemy “Balls” (as in ‘suck these’) tho? Fuck yeah! Pure Badassery IMO
Jes’ Sayin’
Luckily for us, the tenacity and general hardcore nature of our troops beat the Krauts back. It took another 6+/- months after that near-disaster to finally nail the coffin shut on the Third Reich in Berlin… and even then, we were robbed of taking Berlin by that commie loving POS FDR in favor of his butt-blast-buddy Stalin… motherfucker. (Yeah FDR was a traitor for some of the shytte he pulled? and a full bore commie… you don’t agree? Fuck the fuck off)
Now, using this as a metaphor? maybe? parable?
/Ourguys/? just took Normandy.
That’s what OrangeManBad’s election was IMO.
We took the ‘enemy’ by surprise.
They’re reeling
HOWEVER
“They’re not dead yet!” so to speak, neither truly physically, nor metaphorically… damned shame IMO really… anywho…
They ARE however extraordinarily well financed and organized. That was shown by the multi-state ‘protests’ tonight/last night, with the biggest being in Chi-Congo last night. Pre-Printed signs, the same ‘cast of characters’….
Oh, BTW: Because of these folks, I’ll be doing a hypothetical poast on how to deal with these people/motherfuckers who seem to always show up ALL the fucking time at these protests later BTW…in my hypothetical POV, it’s time to remove the trash.
It’s only going to get worse from here on out.
As of this writing? We have 57 days, 21 hours, 10 minutes, and 0 seconds until the ‘formal exchange of power’ actually happens
That is IF it even happens.
That’s a lot of time for Shenanigans.
And Malarkey.
All I can say is do not rest on your laurels so to speak.
In Infantry Basic/AIT we had a saying:
Stay Alert/Stay Alive
Stay steadfast, prepared, avoid crowds, keep loading and prepping, and pray. We have a looong tough row to hoe so to speak, and being ready is at least better than being fat, dumb and happy when the enemy decides to make its move. Better to be ready, than caught with our britches around our ankles so to speak.
More Later
Big Country
You forgot the fall campaign in the Hurtgen Forrest. That slowed a bunch of battle plans down and is why Patton was in the southern corner of France. Figuring out how to get across the Rhine was always going to be a problem while having a supply line going back to Normandy. The logistics pros knew the war was over because there was no fuel to keep a mechanized army going.
The next 10 days will tell whether OMB learned from the first term. Vance maybe Brutus but OMB should get a food taster. Gutting the top 3 layers at all the alphabet agencies would be a good start. Even if the courts try to lawfare you I’d slow walk them and keep doing the sweeping telling them it can be fixed later. Bannon wants blood, Flynn deserves it, freeing/pardoning the Jan 6 victims and going after the congress critters who ran that kangaroo court will go a long way to restoring faith in the justice vs the just us system.
Spin
Hey Spin!
I’m WELL aware of the Hurtgen Shitshow. I was more focused on the overarching attitude of the troops as well as the high command during the timeframe I’m speaking of… The common denominator being: “If it ain’t me, it don’t matter” seemed to be the prolific attitude at the time in late ’44.
Speaking of Hurtgen, there was an absolutely viscous movie about it from 1998…”When Trumpets Fade”
Check out that horrorshow if you want a bit of the ole Ultraviolence… that one still resonates with me/haunts me…
That’s a fantastic movie. Highly recommend for those who’ve not seen it.
BCE:
I figured that you would have read up on Hurtgen. I always wondered what two-three nights of 1000 bomber raid on the forest would have done to German morale. I agree complacency is my biggest fear. The string pullers know that the average American does not have a taste for true war. The other side is pulling a classic Sun Tsu move in feigning weakness. They have already gamed out their next moves (5 places at least).
Decapitating the agencies at least three layers deep is step one for all to see and Elon to do but real change will happen when actions start removing the untouchables. Soros and his son dying from carbon monoxide poisoning, a few Andrew Breitbart sudden heart attacks, Fauci catching Covid and keeling over, Bill dying from syphilis, Cankles being committed from the anguish, Rothchilds and other banksters at large having a controlled entry into the ground on a trip to Davos. If he really wants to send a message how about rods from gods to Buckingham Palace.
I lost my BFF to the shot last year and at least 10 healthy people to the sudden not alive anymore syndrome. Strokes, turbo cancers, heart attacks are things that don’t happen to that many people in their fifties. The worst was a just 23 year old two days from an engagement on the beach party. He was 20 days out from the shot and I’ve know his about to be fiancee since she was born. I won’t forget the last 5 years.

PS: Beware the silent man with a hardened heart. He takes no quarter and gives none.
“When Trumpets Fade” is an excellent motion picture. For a Vietnam era war movie, see if you can find “84 Charlie MoPic”.
Loved that one too! The end was heartbreaking with his buddy screaming MOOOOOPIC!!!!: from the chopper as it faded to black…
I’m probably one of the most prolific War Movie Fiends out there…
I blame DeadDad.
there are a lot more assholes that need to be held to account for what they did.
word is a lot of FBI people are worried about their jobs. yeah, right. they should start worrying about going to prison for the shit they did. they need to make some deals in order to get the goods on some higher up assholes, so be it. but he better get team of pit bulls to tear at them from day one.
and that asshole Whey or however you spell his name needs to PAY for the plane rides back and forth to work. a 45 minutes plane fight. twice a day, on OUR DIME ???
and Trump better get some real guys/pipe hitters to watch his back and family.
as for the “street clowns” arrest them whole scale. wait for the lawyers to show up and pressure THEM hard as to where the money comes from. I heard too many stories of lawyers showing up with “wads of cash” to bail out the assholes in 2020. where did the money come from ? who is backing it ?
use the Rico act on their ass. don’t want to talk ? 20 years assholes in a pound your ass prison !
they will then flip and start talking.
Part of the problem is the commies control not only a bunch of gov’t agencies but nearly as bad is their control of licensing industry groups.
Look at how many law associations disbarred lawyers for representing Trump or J6 prisoners. Look at the medical licensing boards that pulled doctors licenses for not giving the Vaxx or even for questioning it or the mutilation of children.
Those groups have series powers to screw people over and are just as much a threat as gov’t agencies.
There was no BAR association and no formal training requirements to be “Counsel” when the Constitution was ratified. The BAR and the restriction of “Counsel” to government licensed attorneys is unlawful and just another brick in the wall of control.
True. The BAR stands for BRITISH ATTORNEYS REGISTRY, and is under the authority of the crown!!
We need to build a very nice giant gallows on the National Mall and use the shit out of it.
I agree 100% BCE.
Also regarding December 1944, that disaster of Monty’s Market Garden had just failed so most of the troops in the area attacked were green and that was a quiet sector. The 101st was resting and rearming after Market Garden and Ike saw what was happening and sent the 101st to Bastogne in trucks. It was so unplanned and quick, guys didn’t have proper clothing or ammo. When they got to Bastogne they had the retreating US troops drop their grenades and ammo for them.
Remember JFK founded the DIA to replace the CIA and said “I want to splinter the C.I.A. in a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds.” What happened to him ?
Also the NY Times and Washington Post are direct CIA mouth pieces, so any story coming from them usually was planted by the CIA.
I pray that Trump is serious about these things and not just BS’ing to get elected. There have been reports of him appointing fucking NEOCONS to Sec of Defense and State (including that snake Pompeo).
If he does this, then it’s business as usual and he bullshitted us.
HOWEVER, one thing that I love about Trump is that he NEVER forgets anyone that tries to do him dirty and he is one of the most vindictive SOBs around. I hope and pray the snakes that went after him and stabbed him in the back all get paid back for their treachery.
NY Times is the State Department leak of choice.
Batthouse Barry flew out with his beard Mike so he won’t get blamed for sporkiness?
Increase of wasting ammo shooting off locally now three weeks in a row with automatic 9mm UZI at 1900hrs in the forest, heard while on walk the flank.
Replacements are not happy about MIGA Trumpstein being (s)elected by Israel and the Derp State for bomb, bomb, Iran.
They could always sign up, make it a green card if you go and don’t get blown to bits.
Ol’ Hermann ze German feared Patton’s blow up rubber tanks and wooden C-47 (DC3) mockup planes, they thought it would come from the shortest channel crossing when it came from the longest.
Such badass things that USA used to do before the Fundamental Transformation into West Zimbabwe.
3rd Army turn around and rush to Bastogne is EPIC and legendary.
Coffee for wrap up of Night Watch and then walk the flank AM, stay salty.
its called “improving your position” and a grunt does it relentlessly no matter what as its his only hope of survival. tptb are too quiet, too conciliatory. i smell a setup. one tiny report said several states are working on decertifying the election.
The Western Allies also had the benefit of the Sovs kicking off Operation Bagration in Belarus a couple weeks after D-Day, pretty much destroying German Army Group Center over two months and keeping any possible German reinforcements pinned down in the East.
I agree that FDR was a commie traitor bastard, as is clear by all the Fellow Travellers in his several administrations, but there was no way the Western Allies would have been able to take Berlin from the Germans and hold it from the Soviets. Had we tried, the Soviets would have kicked us off the continent altogether. The Ardennes Offensive made it clear that our hold on Western Europe was barely tenuous against a near-peer force (Germany), much less against a much larger, battle-hardened force operating with much shorter supply lines and still actively engaged in the Pacific.
Remember Harris’ concession speechwriter said “we will keep fighting”. Thanks for the heads up but we knew that anyway.
Chicago: no, zero preps according to Second City Cop. http://secondcitycop.blogspot.com/2024/11/election-day-preparations.html
And as Arthur Sido is predicting that the Trump win “It’s a trap!” Well, that was Admiral Ackbar but what Art predicts boils down to that. Definitely need to consider they wanted him to win and plan for that contingency.
Don’t take your eyes off the target: Paul Bunyan level ax work on the out of Constitutional boundaries Fed dot gov.
It is pretty unlikely that after They told Their followers all year that Trump was LITERALLY HITLER 2.0 that They plan on letting him take office and run roughshod.
Complacent, just purchased another 2000 rounds of 45acp. Love my 1911s! Carried one for thirty years. In pushing 70, it’s just too much pistol to “ Dick Carry”.
Gone to a very tricked out Glock 19 red dot, extended threaded barrel, really slick trigger, suppressor height sights,” anybody shooting a red dot without OxO sight to redot centers a fucker poser. Carry a 17 rd mag in the pistol and an additional 2 twenty rounders.
It’s a pain in the ass, but my biggest fear for some reason has always been running out of ammo. We travel extensively, anymore our truck or our LandCruiser s a fucking arsenal. Nothing less then ten mags per every weapon on the trip.
Complacent is deadly
Wow, we could be twins. I love my 1911’s but while I’m working I carry a G19. So I don’t beat up a 1911. Lots of spare mags no matter what I have strapped on. I have the same fear of running out of blamo. If we travel I’ve also added a “truck gun” to the mix.
We won a battle. The war is still before us. The Marxist-Infanticide Party still has plenty of rich useful idiots in the entertainment industry and other professions who will retire campaign debts and keep their propaganda machine going. Keep prepping. Stay vigilant. Watch the goings-on in your A/O. The road ahead is long and rough. Bleib ubrig.
Will retire campaign debt or else have the Diddy vide released.
There, fify
Yup. The video of Big Mike in flagrante delicto with Justin Bieber will never see the light of day. Sad.
Dems will take the house and become complete obstructionist. Trump trying to show that he’s not literally Hitler will work with dems on a pathway to citizenship for 10’s of millions of illegals. Trump will pass tariffs that causes factories to be built here which will employ the illegals. Also there will be a huge amount of apartment buildings constructed to house the illegals. If you own a construction company you can hire the illegals to build all of this. Billionaires will make billions off of this. It was all pre planned. And expect a gun ban. Getting your ear pierced by a .223 wielded by a crazy white guy has that effect. Of course batshit crazy leftist will riot and there will be dem shenanigans in gubmint this too is pre planned. All part of the bread and circuses.
Piss off doomer. Literally, none of that stuff is going to happen.
You are correct.
All signs point to an economic collapse after Germany and Japan go down.
Ain’t nuthin’ gonna be built but abbatis and abbatoirs.
I live in a small town. 10K people. The 3 motels are full of illegals. The town was surrounded by orchards. They’ve been plowed down. The city is building a new water and sewer plant and running the pipes out to the empty fields. The fields have been rezoned from AG to multi density residential. There was a super fund clean up site out by the hwy. It’s been rezoned as industrial. And the town council is talking about building new schools police station and fire department. The next county over is getting a mining operation that they didn’t want but I don’t know what I’m talking about. Why don’t you call me a boomer cuck too. Have fun with your sports ball jackass!
I simply want to know who is in charge of doling out crimigrant toe-tags?
Onward, Christian soldiers!
If anyone isn’t using this time to become more self sufficient, sustaining, and protected and all that entails then they are being foolish…That mean at the very least getting your ass out of the cities and subdivisions into a place where you control your food, water, power, and be able to protect it all…
I agree, head on a swivel. Our enemies are still there, and Trump hasn’t been sworn in yet. OPFOR has a million targets besides bad Orange Man, and they can do lots of damage, everywhere. Communists never concede defeat, unless they are all dead. This, is a most dangerous interlude.
My Grandpa arrived in Europe in November 1944 as an Army Combat Engineer. Care to guess where he was immediately deployed?
I got that feeling that night when Trump won. Too many people patting themselves on the back, when all that happened is the enemy got kicked in the teeth. That’s all well and good, but it’s like I have said my entire life. You better make sure I’m dead, or I’m going to get back up and fuck you up. I feel it in my gut, and, God help me, I haven’t been wrong about that yet. Still lots of grinding them into the dirt left to do. At my age, I can’t look out for my kids and grandkids much longer, so I think we need to go full on Zhukov on them. (Metaphorically speaking, of course)

The United States is a fine industrial producer …
… so why does the public gallows have to continue to follow a French model?
Reinvent the guillotine: the head goes into a slot on the bottom and a heavy hydraulic ram slams the head down a reinforced and lined barrel toward a large catch net, ripping the head off the shoulders as it does this in a fraction of a second.
If blunt force trauma stunners are humane for cattle executions, this too is humane for human executions.
But just picture it: designed and built in America, powered by American LNG, towed on an American-built trailer by an American-built LNG work truck, it’s also an ecological solution to a pesky environmental problem!
Imagine how many Antifa you could piston slam through in an hour.
And as most of the industrial inventiveness now skews heavily to the Right, this should be quite the shock for a few on the Left to start thinking about.
This is where the Right typically shines: wargaming is a natural thing as many on the Right happen to be ardent readers of history.
There are modest proposals, and then there are Modest Proposals.
Just think of the employment it’ll create for welders and machinists!
Что дѣлать!
Yes, we know, you literally did Not See this coming. 🙂
Make it a roll of the dice for face up or down in the machine. BTW I’m an engineer. I’d design it with as a six slot machine that has a 2 sec firing delay between chutes. Best to hear your buddies get it before you.
