Greetings and Salutations!
My Lord, it’s been an interesting couple of days around these parts. The Number One issue was my work computer ‘bricked’ on me again after another Microsuck Update. And because it’s a work issued computer, I can’t turn it off… I have to ‘allow’ the updates to install, which in turn becomes the post-update “Morning of Fear” when I turn it on.
Will it or will it not BSoD?
That’s the ‘Blue Screen of Death’ for those of you non-techs out there. I actually don’t know if Windows 11 has the actual BSoD… I know it, specifically my lappie just ‘stops working’. In this mornings fun, I was able to log in, it started running and then nothing… The screen went to black, and refused to function after.
I was able to get to the task manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del still worked) and I tried various ways of disabling like almost everything that the start-up had set to enabled. A dozen reboot and failures later, I went to do a restore, and that even was done… I ended up doing a factory/image reinstall…
And even after that, I now have hardware failures.
Soooooooo this means a road trip on Friday to exchange the computer. Since this’s work related, I can expense it thankfully. I’ll get a room for the night and Gretchen and I can just get out of town for an overnight which will be enjoyable.
So… now to the crux of tonight.
Pete Hegseth, the nominee for SecDef.
Hard charging former infantryman.
Outspoken to the max.
Tatted up and causing Libtards heads to positively explode.
These things IMO are good things…
And the tat in the lower right hand corner of that pic above?
Look familiar?
That’s a Rakkasan Crest in both pictures.
Now, Two Issues here IMO.
The minor:
I noticed that his tat is actually fucked up.
If you look at the ‘sawblade’ (that’s on either side of the two handed sword) HIS isn’t alternating… it should be… his is blue-on-blue and gray-on-gray going vertically… it should be blue-gray-blue-gray as it is on my wall display… instead of a sawblade, his looks like the end of a guitar neck.
That’s the minor.
The major however is this. And this one I don’t really want to get into, BUT: According to his record, he did 20 years +/- in the Minnesota National Guard. ZERO mention of any active duty. I mean deployments count, but as far as actual active duty assignments? I can’t find any. Does being attached to the unit make one a Rakk? I mean this is a legit question IMO.
According to the Wiki:
In 2004 his unit was called to Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, where he served as an infantry platoon leader with the Minnesota Army National Guard. His unit was under the operational control of the 3rd Battalion, 187th Infantry Regiment 101st Airborne Division
Being under the “operational control” last time I checked does not a Rakkasan make. Unless he made his “Regimental Affiliation” with the Rakkasans? Well… even then… that’s a bit weak. I mean ANYONE can file for a Regimental Affiliation… usually you get affiliated with a Unit that was special to you… Mine in fact -is- the Rakkasans… specifically 2nd Batt 187th, which is no more. They reflagged in the early 2000s to 1/33 CAV (AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!)
So, depending on your perspective, if being “under the command of” the Rakkasans makes you a Rakkasan, well OK.
As far as my own POV?
Unless you got orders assigning you to a unit of the 187th you are not a Rakkasan. A Rakkasan is a serving member of the Regiment. In fact our Facebook Groups have very strict rules that wives/girlfriends/and whatnot can’t join the FB Group (with the exception of Gold Star family members of course). You have to be vetted by being checked against the Unit Roster(s).
And to that point, I think it’s something that he needs to get out in front of now as I know there’s some ‘other Rakks’ out there who’re straight up “bad actors”… in fact it’s rumored that that fucking freak “PupRavage”?
‘Member that fucking psycho?
Supposedly (much to my horror) the intel I got is he –was– (was is a good thing IMO) a Rakkasan as well… and there’s a lot of other fucking bad actors out there like him… If they make a call that he’s doing ‘performative stolen valor?’ I mean TBH the regimental crest tat IF he was only an augmentee/attached to the 187th seems a bit ‘wannabe’/’cringe’
Not trying to stir the pot, but I feel it’s a legit one.
Tampon Timmah got majorly dragged for his bullshit, and I’d fucking hate to see the same shit happen with this guy, as he’s got the Left utterly shitting themselves in terror. That alone makes him great in my book…
Update While Writing:
So I asked the very same question on my Rakkasan Group(s) that very same question of whether or not he’s a legit Rakk. Most interestingly, I got a couple of responses from guys who served with him and knew him:
From: Ben X
I was in Charlie Company 3-187 during the 05-06 deployment to Iraq.
Pete Hegseth was 2nd Platoons PL. he was an E-6 that went OCS I believe to become an officer.
OK… whew.
Like I said, I really didn’t want to ”go there’… and Ben wasn’t the only guy to DM me. Lots of guys who either served with him, or under him said he was the real deal. It looks like in 2005, when Big Army was waaaay short on usable manpower, they offered Reservists and Gaurd guys one year contracts to fill in in critical slots (like the Infantry) and Hegseth volunteered, and got assigned to the 187th. That also means that his awards are more than likely legit too… which means the Bronze Star actually means something unlike some of the ‘chairborne rangers’ who earned theirs for being under indirect fire a couple of times while making coffee for the brass…
So this means they got a total asskicking outsider there…
Going to be an interesting few weeks leading up to the Inauguration. Keep the head on a swivel. Avoid Crowds.
More Later

Really sorry to hear of your Microputz woes, BCE. Win 11 is hot garbage, imho. Most regrettable that work requires Win 11 ( I am assuming this- so yell at me if I am wrong ). As you might guess I use Linux and have never looked back at MS’s softcrap offerings.
Hopefully the exchange goes well and you and Gretchen have a nice night away together.
If you have any say in the exchange, watch out for and refuse the Intel 14000 and 13000 series of cpu. Those are also know to have issues that Intel MAY have fixed with a firmware update, before the cpu got installed. And no, I don’t work for AMD!
Be safe and have a good trip.

Dude, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but the last 4 years alone (to say nothing of at least the last ten) should be proof positive that being part of a unit or regiment doesn’t mean fucking shit. Not anymore it doesn’t.
I used to think it did. When I was younger I used to believe the ‘bonds’ formed whilst serving along people, whether it was military, law enforcement, or other emergency services, were strong enough to transcend things like race, religion, colour, creed, or politics. This seemed especially apparent post 9/11.
But after Obama (and that fucker Trudeau, on my end) and all his division and stoking of things that weren’t even issues at the time, and leading into the scamdemic…well, certain fault lines were drawn and certain people I considered brothers/sisters in arms gradually showed themselves to be akin to the enemy. Or perhaps they always were. Sometimes I still ponder this. Sure was a hard pill to swallow…
Facta non Verba, bro – Deeds, not Words.
If this guy’s solid, it’s because that’s what he is at his core. Wouldn’t matter if he was a Rakkasan, a Loyal Eddie, or a member of Hell’s Own Special Forces. Same deal if he wasn’t.
Yep. Same thing with medical workers. The bond that held us together (science) has been killed by the government response to Covid.
PPE, shots, lockdowns (remember when that word only applied to prisons?), are all purely propaganda now.
Science is now whatever big Pharma says it is. Doctors dare not question anything that could reduce their income.
I watched about half of his interview on Shawn Ryan tonight; I will watch the rest tomorrow. I like what I saw. I think Ryan did too, he was VERY engaged, more so than with some other guests. I can accept that tattoo as honoring/memorializing a time in his life that meant much to him. If he gets confirmed, and I hope he does, he could make some big changes on some elements of DoD. That said, its a huge job and he will need LOYAL and smart people working for him. I am not surprised that there are already plotters in the basement of ol’ 5-sides strategizing how to derail the train.
Assuming Trump is legit in some portion of his MAGA, which is a big assumption, one of the awkward aspects of this chapter is that staffing these critical positions has to strike some balance between outsider/insider, swamp knowledge and swamp loyalty, ego and humility.
Something that stands out already is that these picks are decidedly media friendly. In that they are all quite comfortable in front of the cameras, performing.
While this is likely a necessary attribute of leadership today, it also lends to the ongoing problem of fake and gay psyop vibes that has been the MO for a long while now. At the very least, there is an air of superficiality in a time where serious men need to do some serious things right quick.
As for this guy, sloppy Rakka aside, for some reason all his tats look pretty shiny and new. Granted, he is young. But that sort of stripmall signaling comes across as a bit try hard. Of course, I appreciate that he is WhiteChad and all that, but I am hoping there is a depth and intellect that goes beyond the sorts of sound bytes and tiktok friendly taglines that would have black rifle coffee becoming the Official Drink of the USArmy.
I’ve seen some interviews. Some mixed signaling for sure. But like his boss, at this point so late in the game, if he makes the queers and the commies wet themselves, that’s about as much of a win as the system is capable of producing for us until we start doing our own heavy lifting.
….excellent observation. As a tattoo guy, those tattoos look quite fresh an tight. With haphazard spots of actual minor minor skin reactions….to an astute observer who knows what that looks like….
….his social media pictures are almost polished….from a producers standpoint point. Great captured lighting….and definitely prepped with filters in a program. So, yes, he may very well be a product. Of what yet we do not know.
Ugghhhh. Tiny – my bush radar is going off on this guy too. Just like JD Vance.
They say the right things, they’ve got great resumes… but I just sit here and wonder what skeletons are in this guy’s closet… it’s like they’re too good to be true? I really want to like them, but… maybe I’ve just been through too many Current Things… but we’ve both seen it too many times: these guys come blazing in with a righteous fury and fervour… and then turn out to be cucks, kiddie diddlers or even traitors.
Pete has a couple books out that might be worth reading. Might give a better perspective on the man, maybe.
I hear a lot of hand-wringing out there, but I think it’s overblown. Yes some of the picks seem kind if ‘war-ish” and “joo-loving” but so many good picks that I’m going to trust the process as they say.
Matt Gaetz, holy shit!
Oh he’ll never get confirmed!! Hmmm. yeah last year I’d have agreed, but everything has flipped.
Recall FDR’s firesite chats from history class? Well the MSM has shielded the Dims from having to respond ever to the country, but that shit is so over. Never again will anyone running for office be able to hide in the basement, the podcasters changed that. but more importantly, Trump now has the perfect bully pulpit to get his words out, unfiltered and unedited, to the people, any time he feels like it.
“Hey Joe I need an hour with you, here are my proposed talk topics.” ” Is tomorrow soon enough, Mr. President?”
Gaetz doesn’t get in on first ballot? Hmm. let’s just see who these RINO’s are, and go discuss their reticence on Joe’s show, sat what? Oh just the threat of that was enough, we have the votes for confirmation. Awesome.
Brave New World- don’t get blackpilled
I saw an article today that if Gaetz is not confirmed, De Santis ~could~ appoint him to Rubio’s senate position. Pretty amusing. That is 4 D chess right there. As the President is known to say “we shall see”.
THanks, Bro. I figgered you would know.
Night Driver.
It beats some CPUSA (D) RAT POS vermin.
Tribunals for Traitors?
Si se puede!
Purging works for us now and Gaetz says going after Teflon Don’s enemies will be number one priority.
Winblows you can hit F8 or try Safe Mode sometimes but a new laptop sounds like fun, remove all the malware right away.
The Screaming Eagle is my favorite unit emblem and might put on Pappy’s last woodland BDU as he said it was ok.
No Room For Commie.
A based AF crusader for SecDef… And the rest of the pics look pretty much on point so far, with a few exceptions (Thune in Senate for example), but Thune wasn’t his choice, and it exposes the faults we have in the Senate RINOs like McConnell, though the cowards hid their votes.
While I have hopes that the incoming Admin will clean house, I expect every possible form of rat-fuckery from the traitors on their way out, and I’m not standing on those hopes. Preps will of course continue. Clownworld would rather self-destruct than surrender power, let alone submit.
Funny thought I had the other day: the Boston Tea Party was done by pillars of the community dressed in Iroquois costumes, and everybody was in on it… But they did it so when the Brits whined about it, they could shrug and claim, “Sorry guys, Injuns did it, nothing we could do about that.”
Since the Left is convinced Russians colluded with Patriots to Make America Great Again, if Patriots have to have a new Boston Tea Party? I’d suggest we dress up as Russians, speak in BAD Russian movie accent English, blame Putin, and watch Leftist heads explode with colorful bursts of Skittle-hair… 😉
Also BC: a song you might consider for your “Drive Like Hell” playlist!

Thune is actually the best choice for gun rights. About the only good thing that I can think of him. He did agree to cabinet appointments when congress isn’t in session. Skelator would have worked with Trumpenstein better but is squishy about guns. I predict that Sec State was the only position that Trump could use to entice Marco (in the closet) Rubio out of the Senate with. He’ll get confirmed and within a year is fired and replaced both taking out an otherwise difficult to work with Senator with a secure re-election base and giving Trump the satisfaction of revenge in getting him out of his seat and un employed.
The tat fuck up is the arteests fault unless the stencil was fucked as well. Up here in TGWN, if you jumped you are AIRBORNE, as long as you passed the course as per spec. Coy clerks and the like that are part of an para unit, but not qualified as jumpers, do not get recognized as such. So I guess my question is do fellers that dint jump, but are/were attached to the Rakks still get an Rakk tat without the spectre of being an poseur?
Another great post.
I’m half-way through his chat with Shawn Ryan. I think we are in for an exciting 2025. He has to execute. I’m staying positive until there is a reason not to.
I wish a lot of folks on our side had that same attitude. All I see on the webs is people shitting all over everything Trump has done or said lately. It really frustrating
This and “The Lamentations of their (Wo)Men!” to paraphrase a certain muscle-bound Austrian Barbarian lol. Some of my uber-lib acquaintance are butt-hurt all over the socials re Trump and co. Convinced that 2025 plan will be the President’s whole agenda, I don’t see it but YMMV
nothing has changed one fucking bit…
it’s still all FUBAR and ww3 is going to happen either way. the joooos have to kill off the majority of the goyim before the anti-christ appears on the temple mount.
drumpf is a hard boiled jooooo chabad member

Americans are awaking to the fact they have elected a Zionist government. They had no choice since the alternative was Communism.

Well, I’m with Filthie on this. A lot of “too good to be true” scenarios seem to be popping up. Sure we’re getting what could be considered marginally real conservative-type assignments. Problem I have with Hegseth is he is a “big supporter” of izrahell. Again, like Filthie said, there’s a lot of guys in there saying the right things, having reasonably good resumes, but it all seems too coincidentally set up. Of course AIPAC won the election as usual. Rubio and his bloodlust to genocide Hamas is nauseating. Huckabee as ambassador to izrahell seems about standard for a kosher taint gobbler. There are a few others I can’t think of at the moment, but they love to spout support of “our greatest ally”. The only one I’ve seen so far that is mildly encouraging was just announced today, RFK for HHS secretary. Now, I know he’s a historic lib and has izrahell ties just like the rest, but he is a Kennedy and I think he is aware of some things because of his brother. At least I would hope so. If the group of appointments really muscles down and starts throwing Paul Bunyan sized wrenches into this government machine and gets us surgically detached from the (((ones))) who have been causing misery in this country for decades, maybe we’ll have a chance at turning things around. I like the idea of Musk being involved in this DOGE situation, but have little hope of that actually panning out. I’m just too suspicious of him and his WEF pajeet sidekick Ramiswamilamadingdong. I get the feeling that there’s some severe turbulence ahead no matter what. So, as you said BCE, head on a swivel.

A question that you didn’t ask, but should …
What generation of processor is in your current “trashtop” and what will be in the new one?
Some generations of Intel processors have serious thermal issues.
Since a night away is an expense, yours or theirs, you might want to talk with the IT people to see if they can redo the thermal transfer stuff for the processor.
Lots of people prefer thermal gunk, but I prefer higher performance thermal pads for laptops because they’re a lot less crappy to clean up after when you replace them.
17 W/mK or higher rated thermal pads usually do better than all but the most pricey of thermal gunk, and inside a laptop where you’re stuck with the heat pipe and other stuff, that can make a difference when it comes to getting heat out of the processor and into the thermal hardware.
The IT people might also like having one less “trashtop” to deal with in the future.
Good to hear he isn’t a paper Rakkasan. Hate that shit. By the same logic I’m MARSOC.. Every unit has POGs.
pavlov’s dog comes to mind…
peepul, peepul, please stop and consider who ewe all are fawning over….. they want you fucking dead. drumpf is a joo- dot period
they are all “israhell first” true believers.
every. one. of. them.

Thanks to BCE and the commenters here for much to think of, both personally and politically.
I think that while we have not yet won, we have not lost.
I again have hope that I will not have to die in the defense of my home and family in the next few years, and that if we can keep moving forward, that the American Republic may yet be restored.
I am not a part of any formal organization, as I suspect that all such are either infiltrated by, or organized by, the FBI / Deep State agencies, but I know that many share my opinions. Thanks.
A song that I like for these times is “I was the least of my kind”, a werewolf song by Three Wierd Sisters, which I failed to link here from my clipboard, Sorry. John
Good to hear you got some bonafides on secdef BCE! That’s reassuring considering who could have been appointed.
Wow…some of you fuckers need to be able to just take a win when you get one. WE DON’T HAVE THE CACKLING MORON FOR PRESIDENT! That one thing, despite all of the govt run MSM is a win!
So and so may not be perfect. Who is??? Be glad we aren’t under the left boot. Yes, we may be feeling the right boot but at least they’re pussies. C’Mon man! Enjoy the fact that the commies got their asses handed to them and have a cocktail to celebrate. Does every swinging richard need to be a pearl clutching, hand wringing pussy right now?
Look, I get it…our monetary system is 3 seconds away from going tits up/horizontal. Just enjoy what we have now, liberal heads pink misting all on their own!
that’s fine if you are playing checkers- they are playing chess..
