In Praise of the Cinnamon Bun Tenderloin!
While awaiting deliverance from the cold tomb of this secular world is there a more worthy object of worship and desire in the physical world than the cinnamon bun? Not in my humble opinion!
Unlike the Americans, who slather a repugnant sugar glaze on every ugly pastry they gulp down while swallowing their coffee from a paper cup, I follow the more civilized Swedish practice of sprinkling a few grains of pearl sugar and some almond slices on top of my little beauties.
After all, putting a sugar glaze on a cinnamon bun and drinking coffee from a paper cup is a deviation akin to child molestation, is it not?
I also add a little background of cardamon to the dough in the Swedish tradition.
However, unlike my Swedish cousins, I do not form my cinnamon buns into those very elegant round braids that resemble a yarn ball of noodles a cat might be interested in playing with.
Here, I concede to the American practice of the roll-cut bun for a very good reason. In fact, the best reason ever!
The roll-cut cinnamon bun offers that succulent, moist tenderloin in the middle that its upper crust (pun intended), braided cousin is missing.
The best of both worlds! Yum!

The Mouth That Roared
After his migrant ban that has sent angry shock waves rippling across the small planet earth and shooting up the spineless spines of every devout PC Snowflake, there can be little doubt that Mr. Trump Monkey does not give one iota of intellectual consideration to the effect of his imperial announcements before opening his big, fat mouth.
Nor, once he has spoken, does the Monkey give a damn what anyone else thinks or says.
It would also appear that if he has any advisers, they are incapable of giving him any advice.
The next four years should be every bit as interesting and embarrassing as the race-hustling, punk-mouth- bomb-days of Snoop Dogg Barry, the PC Pajama Boy, who so effectively divided the nation that he drove the Midwestern working class away from the Democratic Party and into the wilderness where Mr. Trump Monkey was waiting with open arms.
This was but a ten megaton blast.
Just wait until Mr. Monkey defunds the abortion mills at Planned Parenthood as promised. That will impact across the landscape like a hundred, hundred megaton bombs.
Hang on and butter the popcorn, Mama! This is going to be an interesting four years!

Ballsy Wallsy
Which is a more fearless leader? One that builds a wall or the one that builds a bridge?
Which is a leader with more confidence in the people he governs? The one that builds a wall or the one that builds a bridge?
In considering what it takes to build a bridge or a wall, we stumbled upon a name that will rival the Great Wall of China and the Berlin Wall - The Donald Trump Small Balls Wall.

Which Way the Working Class Hero?
In the recent US election, the world witnessed Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party yank off its wedding band to abandon its faithful old spouse, the working class, in favor of crawling into bed with those darling PC Snowflakes.
Goodbye working class; hello election defeat.
Working Class 1 - PC Snowflakes 0
With the announcement Tuesday of Martin Schultz as its Chancellor candidate, Germany's SPD, for over 140 years the safe refuge of the working class, promised that it would be a firewall against populism.
Will that promise transform the SPD into the party of PC Snowflakes and Pajama Boyz?
Which way will the German working class hero go? Maybe John Lennon knows?

Honor Killing and Honor Violence in...SWEDEN????
Both Sweden and Germany offer commercial free, on demand, HD web TV which is a great antidote for the mindless drivel oozing out of the American boob tube like Coca Cola toothpaste.
My favorite program is the Swedish entertainment show "Go'kväll," that offers a wide variety of music, interviews, book reviews and fashion in between some practical cooking tips along with a rotating team of very personable hosts. Did I also mention that it is entirely free of troglodyte level commercials?
The show and its hosts are predictably PC. It steers away from any hot button topics that might contradict the PC party narrative, but the PC censor must have called in sick and this surprising interview with Sara Mohammed slipped though.
http://www.svtplay.se/video/11934678/...
(for those of you who understand Swedish, move the time slider to about five minutes for the interview )
The topic is honor killing and honor violence, not in Pakistan or Turkey, but in Sweden! Sweden? Yes, Sweden!
The interview took place on the 15th anniversary of the murder of Fadime Sahindal who was killed by her father because she was in love with someone else and refused to accept her family's arranged marriage with a cousin.
What follows in the interview are some very surprising statistics that Swedish speakers can find extrapolated here: http://gapf.se/rapporter-och-statistik/
70,000 young people between the ages of 16-25 complain that their parents' culture and religion limit their choice of a partner. Of these, 8500 are at risk of being married away against their will. Sweden has a population of about ten million.
The Youth Ministry estimates that there are five honor killings in Sweden every year not counting the ten or so "balcony girls," girls who have been pushed or jumped to their deaths from high rise balconies. These are usually ruled suicides since it cannot be proven that a family member threw them over the balcony.
Sara also mentioned a couple violations in direct violation of Swedish law. There are many 14 year-old girls who are pregnant after being raped within their arranged (forced) marriages and she also stated that there are 130 men registered with Sweden's Tax Department who have three or four wives under Sharia law! Pick a number, Mama! You might be number one tonight!
Sara also stated that over the years thousands of youths have sought sanctuary with her group on account of the threat of family violence against them because their parents do not want them attending swimming lessons, sexual education classes, hanging out with secular friends or wearing secular clothing among many other reasons.
I have never seen this topic broached in the Swedish newspapers that I read online, the TV news shows that I watch nor by the political class. This outrage came as a complete surprise to me.
One of the hypocrisies of the everyday PC narrative is that the PC'ers loudly proclaim their undying allegiance to sexual equality, but then demand shelter be given to the adherents of a seventh century cult that treats its own mothers, wives, daughters and sisters as second class chattel. How can one reconcile those two dichotomies with a straight face? Maybe we should ask Angela Merkel?
This interview gives a painfully accurate glimpse at how such people threaten Sweden's cultural sovereignty. This group is already killing women and voting in Sweden's free elections.

The Plebeians Stage an Uprising and a Monkey Assumes the Throne
Well, it is a done deal.
Snoop Dogg Barry Obama, the PC Pajama Boy, has finally slithered off into obscurity leaving behind a legacy of the most pathetic health care system in the Western world balanced against his historic strides in transgender restroom privileges while the bat-shit crazy Mr. Trump Monkey assumes command of the most powerful military arsenal in the world and a largely dysfunctional political system that has been crumbling for almost half-a-century while picking the pockets of its taxpayers.
Will all of you PC spank wankers please take a bow! This is the America you spankers have created this election with your very own hands. Yes, you, spankers!
The Plebeians have staged an uprising against the arrogance of your political correctness and placed a monkey on the American throne. It was your whining PC hysteria that drove the Midwestern working class, those nasty, everyday folks who add value to American goods and services, into the arms of a trust-funder punk and boob tube reality star. Imagine that!
BTW- What value do you PC'ers create? Just saying…those of us who admire the working class like to make class comparisons.
For almost a century, the working class was the Democratic Party and the Democratic Party was the working class. Today, the Democrats have become the Party of PC driving the working class away in droves.
This, not Donald Trump, is the historic phenomena we are witnessing today. What will follow?
It could get worse. It could solidify for another generation. Minnesota may fall in the midterms.

Der Spiegel and the Depravity of American PC
Most GR Europeans have absolutely no concept of the depths of depravity and hysteria of American political correctness. Here is the English translation of one of the most incisive articles on the subject. It appeared in Der Spiegel, not exactly a right wing bastion. You will never find such an objective article anywhere in the American media.
http://www.spiegel.de/international/w...
This is part and parcel of what drove the Midwestern working class voters into the arms of Mr. Trump Monkey.

A Paradigm Shift in Class Conflict
For the greater part of the twentieth century, the politics of Western democracies were defined by the classic conflict between labor and capital.
It is beginning to appear as though this classic dichotomy is being replaced by an intellectual collision between populism and elite, political correctness.
2017 could be as interesting and formative as 1917.
