Mostly Peaceful Rock Italy Over Refusal To Recognize Palestinian State

Italian workers’ strike in solidarity with Gaza brings disruptions across the country

Thousands of protesters and strikers calling for solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza took to the streets in Italy on Monday, with some storming Milan’s central train station and clashing violently with police.

Italy’s grassroots unions, which represent hundreds of thousands of people ranging from schoolteachers to metalworkers, called for a 24-hour general strike in both public and private sectors, including public transportation, trains, schools and ports.

The strike caused disruptions across the country, with long delays for national trains and limited public transport in major cities, including Rome.

In Milan, tensions escalated when dozens of protesters dressed in black and armed with batons tried to smash the main entrance of the city’s central train station, throwing smoke bombs, bottles and stones at police, who responded with pepper spray. In Bologna, police used water cannons to disperse a crowd of demonstrators who blocked a highway.

Premier Giorgia Meloni condemned violent clashes sparked by some protesters as “shameful.”

“Violence and destruction have nothing to do with solidarity and won’t change a thing in the lives of people in Gaza,” she wrote on X.

So many in the Credentialed Media, both internationally and in the US, have avoided showing the violence

Afternoon Metal: AC/DC – Thunderstruck

This isn’t necessarily my favorite from AC/DC, but, that beginning part? It’s actually not easy to play. Here’s the beginning

If you want to do straight pull-ons/pull-offs very difficult, especially at speed and without hitting the high E and G strings, staying only on B string. Even doing it while picking on 4/5 7/8 with pull-offs it is difficult. I’m close. Not quite at full speed.

Woke Ruins Everything: Jimmy Kimmel’s Pre-Molly And Post Molly

By William Teach September 22, 2025 – 10:30 am

One of the worst things in the world are Woke liberal white women

Gavin McInnes: Jimmy Kimmel Was ‘Ruined’ by His ‘Insufferable’ 2nd Wife — ‘There’s Pre-Molly and Then There’s Post-Molly Jimmy’

Can always recognize the woke liberal women by the glasses

Podcaster and Vice magazine co-founder Gavin McInnes used to be friends with Jimmy Kimmel, and in the wake of the ABC late-night host’s suspension, McInnes offered a postmortem of his career — blaming his “woke” second wife for the funnyman’s downfall into shrill leftism.

“When I knew him, he was a great guy and a very mean guy — like, in a good way, kind of punk,” McInnes reminisced on his Get Off My Lawn podcast. “I mean, the Jimmy Kimmel you saw with The Man Show and even before that, he was in sports radio. He used to contribute to Vice all the time. He was a very good cartoonist, believe it or not. And he would do comics for us, and he would do the Do’s and Don’ts with me. And I loved that he was mean… Be an asshole, it’s funny.”

The former mainstay on Fox News’ Red Eye went on to mention Molly McNearney, who worked her way up the writing staff on his show Jimmy Kimmel Live! in the mid-2000s and eventually married him. Kimmel reportedly left his first wife, Gina Maddy-Kimmel, for comedian Sarah Silverman in 2003, then got with McNearney after breaking up with Silverman.

Kimmel used to be funny and entertaining. The Man Show was great. Heck, perhaps he was a Democrat back then, but, you mostly didn’t know, but

She’s an insufferable liberal twat who ruined him… There’s pre-Molly and there’s post-Molly Jimmy Kimmel, just like Howard Stern. There’s pre-Beth and there’s post-Beth Howard Stern. And Jimmy Kimmel and Howard Stern are friends, and then Molly and Beth hang out and they discuss rescuing kittens and reproductive rights of cats… When these guys get their trophy wives — and I know Molly doesn’t look like a trophy — they want to get invited to the best dinner parties, and that means you have to please the wives. And what are women’s politics? They’re all woke. So these guys become woke to appease their trophy wife, and then it spills onto the show.

Yup, same thing with Stern, who was once funny. Nasty quite a bit, but, he could be funny. Entertaining. Then he became insufferable and a barking moonbat with the nuptials to Beth. Does this sound familiar? We literally just saw this whole thing play out in the media with (no longer) Prince Harry after he married Meagain, er, Meghan Markle, who turned him from a playboy, a good guy, someone who was highly respected in the UK military, who got a bit wild (sometimes too much), into this insufferable Progressive wacko who ranted about left wing causes and utterly ruined his relationship with his family, with the UK military, and the British people. We see and hear all the stories about how awful they are to people, including their staff, which they cannot retain. We saw the nasty things they said and wrote about their families.

This is most likely Kimmel behind the scenes, and it destroyed his show. First he lost his Man Show, then he lost his manhood.

Through the rest of the show segment, McInnes developed a point that he does not care about being “consistent” on cancel culture — that the left has already pushed too far and needs to feel the same pain they have inflicted on others for years. “The gloves are off. We’re hypocrites. Fuck you. You started this war,” he stated. “You kicked me in the balls, so I’m gouging out your fucking eyes.”

Don’t start won’t be none.

Your Fault: Hotcoldwetdry Is Damaging Your Skin

By William Teach September 22, 2025 – 7:00 am

The cult is really looking for things to fearmonger over (the question mark in the headline is not mine. Not sure why it is there)

How Climate Change Is Quietly Damaging Your Skin?

When we think about climate change, images of melting ice caps, rising sea levels, and extreme weather often come to mind. But there’s a more personal—and often overlooked—dimension to this global issue: your skin. Yes, the largest organ of your body is silently bearing the brunt of a changing climate. From increased UV radiation to humidity fluctuations, climate change is influencing skin health in subtle but significant ways.

Global temperatures have steadily climbed over the past century, and with them, heat-related skin issues are on the rise. Prolonged exposure to higher temperatures can exacerbate conditions like:

  • Heat rashes and hives: Sweat ducts can become blocked, leading to irritation and inflammation.
  • Rosacea and eczema: These conditions are often aggravated by environmental stressors like heat and pollution.
  • Acne flare-ups: Increased sweating can clog pores and worsen breakouts, especially in humid climates.

Yes, you’re sweating because of 1.7F increase in global temperatures since 1850. You can really notice.

As the ozone layer thins, more ultraviolet (UV) rays are reaching the Earth’s surface. This intensification of UV exposure accelerates:

  • Skin aging: UV radiation breaks down collagen, leading to premature wrinkles, sunspots, and loss of elasticity.
  • Skin cancer: Higher UV exposure increases the risk of all forms of skin cancer, including melanoma, one of the deadliest types.
  • Photosensitivity: Certain medications and skincare products may make the skin more sensitive to sunlight, compounding the risks.

Other People driving fossil fueled vehicles is really messing you up, right? Not you, of course. Your use of autos is just fine. Anyhow, more blamestorming, ending with

What You Can Do: Protecting Your Skin in a Changing Climate

Despite the looming threats, you’re not powerless. Here’s how to keep your skin resilient:

  • Use broad-spectrum SPF every day, even when it’s cloudy. Reapply every 2 hours if you’re outside.
  • Cleanse thoroughly to remove pollutants and dirt, especially if you live in an urban area.
  • Hydrate and moisturize to maintain a strong skin barrier—look for products with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide.
  • Wear protective clothing like wide-brimmed hats and UV-blocking sunglasses.
  • Invest in air purifiers if you’re in a high-pollution area or wildfire zone.
  • Consult a dermatologist if you notice unusual changes in your skin or if you suffer from chronic skin issues.

These are literally things you should do anyhow, and have nothing to do with ‘climate change’….oh, right, the cult thinks everything is part of their cult.

Surprise: Hamas Declares Victory After UK, Canada, Australia Recognize Palestinian State

By William Teach September 22, 2025 – 6:45 am

It wasn’t like tons of people stated that recognizing the Palestinian state would be a victory for the terrorists who started this on October 7th, right?

Hamas declares ‘victory’ after UK recognition of Palestine

Hamas has declared victory for “the justice of our cause” after Sir Keir Starmer announced Britain would recognise Palestinian statehood.
In a video message on Sunday, Sir Keir insisted the move, one of the most significant shifts in British foreign policy in decades, was “not a reward for Hamas”.

But Mahmoud Mardaw, a senior Hamas official, claimed it represented “a victory for Palestinian rights and the justice of our cause” and would “send a clear message” to Israel.

On Sunday night, US president Donald Trump said the decision was “rewarding Hamas”. Speaking to reporters on Air Force One, he added: “I don’t think they should be rewarded. I am not in that camp, to be honest.”

Canada and Australia, which have been overrun with Islamist just like the UK, also recognized Palestinian statehood

“With the actions of Hamas, the Israeli government escalating the conflict and settlement building being accelerated in the West Bank, the hope of a two-state solution is fading, but we cannot let that light go out,” Starmer said.

Alongside similar announcements of recognition from Canada and Australia, he described Hamas as a “brutal terror organisation”.

He said: “We are clear this solution is not a reward for Hamas, because it means Hamas can have no future, no role in government, no role in security.”

The group which is a designated terrorist organization by the UK government disagrees.

Jewish organisations, including the Board of Deputies of British Jews, condemned the decision, arguing there will be “deep dismay at the Prime Minister’s announcement across the Jewish community”, while the Campaign Against Antisemitism described the decision as “Sir Keir Starmer’s Neville Chamberlain moment”.

Meanwhile, the families of hostages held by Hamas said the UK and its allies were responsible for a “catastrophic failure of political, moral and diplomatic leadership” and said any recognition of Palestine must be contingent on the release of their relatives.

Britain is lost.

Update: LOL

LOL: Newsom Signs Legislation Blocking ICE From Wearing Masks

By William Teach September 21, 2025 – 7:00 am

I’m looking forward to any state, county, or local law enforcement in the People’s Republik Of California to try and arrest any federal law enforcement agent

Newsom signs legislation banning ICE agents from wearing masks in California

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) on Saturday signed a first of its kind bill banning Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from wearing masks while conducting operations in the state of California.

Newsom said ICE agents would no longer be “hidden from accountability” arguing masks prevent “transparency” for citizens and hinder “oversight.”

“That’s Trump’s America but that’s not the America we’ve grown up in. And so we are pushing back,” the governor said during remarks at a local high school.

Newsom said many residents are living in fear as the Trump administration cracks down on communities of illegal immigrants. Twenty-seven percent of Californians are foreign-born.

I’m all for federalism and State’s Rights, but, Los Federales have primacy when it comes to immigration, and federal law enforcement outranks state, county, and local when it comes to federal matters. Illegal immigration is a federal matter. I remember when Gavin banned all San Francisco (he was mayor at the time) city employee travel to Arizona in 2010 over the “show your papers” law. Not sure why so many employees were traveling to Arizona on the taxxpayer dime, but, Dems said SB1070 usurped federal power.

Newsom’s office also took aim at Noem in its announcing of the legislation, which drew a backlash from the administration.

“Kristi Noem is going to have a bad day today,” Newsom’s press office tweeted. “You’re welcome, America.”

“This reads like a threat. This is ugly, @GavinNewsom,” Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin tweeted in response.

See, Democrats in the PRC want to ban law enforcement from protecting their identities, thereby allowing the unhinged nuts in the Democrat party to retaliate against them and their families. Violently. But, the PRC general assembly won’t restrict criminals from wearing masks.

(AP) Bill Essayli, acting U.S. attorney for Southern California, said on the social platform X that the state does not have jurisdiction over the federal government and he has told agencies the mask ban has no effect on their operations. “Our agents will continue to protect their identities,” he said.

Good luck with any attempted arrests of ICE and others, guys. You’ll be going to federal prison.

The new law prohibits neck gaiters, ski masks and other facial coverings for local and federal officers, including immigration enforcement agents, while they conduct official business. It makes exceptions for undercover agents, medical masks such as N95 respirators or tactical gear, and it does not apply to state police.

It’s all performative theater.

Saturday Metal: Epica – Sirens Of Blood And Water

By William Teach September 20, 2025 – 3:35 pm

I usually hate those posts which say “I’m obsessed with…”, but, this is a metal song I’m obsessed with, especially this live version

For those not familiar with Epica, they are primarily a Symphonic Metal band. But, they weave in lots of different types of metal. Take this song: it has such a positive view, eh? The gorgeous ladies wearing dresses, their lovely voices, smiling. Performed in B minor, giving it a brighter feel. The chorus, the orchestra. But, wait, it’s actually based on the old, old little mermaid fairy tale, and, remember, the originals tended to be pretty dark. In this case, the sirens/mermaids are telling their sweet sister to take the dagger and kill the prince, and maybe some others, per the chorus

Will you take this dagger from me, Sweet sister
Don’t linger…

If she doesn’t take the dagger the sirens may kill her. The 2nd stanza right before the chorus

Little sister
The sun is sleeping
Come with me before
Crimson fills the air
Every creature below
Is weeping for your fate
So take my hand now

They’ll possibly kill her if she doesn’t return to the sea. Third stanza

See this knife, it is sharp
Plunge it into his heart
Send his soul to the heavens
Far above the stars….

Rather dark, eh? Mixed in some black metal.
