You might be cool, but you’ll never be Erik Bonde… a Swedish Major fighting during the Congo Crisis smoking a cigarette after being shot in an ambush while rocking a Lemania TG 195 type of cool.
Born in Sweden to gentry (nobility), he inherited the title of “Count.” He started off in the Swedish Army, in the cavalry. He got out in order to persue a life of agriculture but was recalled and reinstated in order to take command of the first Swedish Battalion in Katanga.
This timeless photo was taken immediately following an ambush on his elements in which MAJ Bonde was shot multiple times by inferior hostile weapons (mostly outdated muzzle loaders). After the firefight, one of his soldiers ran up and remarked “Sir! You are hit! Your shirt is red!”
Bonde shook his head, sighed, took off his shirt, lit a smoke, and looked at him. “Don’t be impertinent. I’m a Count. My blood is blue.”
The man makes the watch. Not the other way around!

Meet the new Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao:
“They call me a white supremacist. I have one ask for them: when you give me my hood, make sure it’s got the little slits and not the circles so I can see better.”
There are five kinds of people I instantly distrust:
1. People who don’t like dogs.
2. People whose “favorite” sportsball teams coincidentally just won the league championship.
3. People who have the right of way at a four-way stop yet insist on waving you through to be “polite.”
4. People who are rude to wait staff in restaurants.
5. Veterans who run for political office as a Democrat.
@RepJimmyPanetta Carmel CA constituent here 🙌🏻 I voted for you multiple times and I will NEVER vote for you again due to your support of this over-abused program. You seem to forget that you work for American not foreign interests!
One feature of living in California is that seeing a handful of “i bought this car before elon went full on nazi” bumper stickers on the way to work is basically a given.
@OkyUpsher@feelsdesperate Exactly. Perpetuating a hoax for the sake of “the good guys” is just fraud. Knowingly doing it to a populist presidential candidate multiple times? Treason
@JeremyCady @scottlincicome Wrong! The whole country needs to be socialist to make it all work. If it doesn’t, well, its because they are being left out by capitalism. Meaning the whole world must be socialist. Hope this helps 👍
So @gemini put a week hold on withdrawals for my safety. Ok. I wait a week. Then it is revealed that I need to send in a picture of my ID for security. @GeminiSupport says they are working on it. I am beyond unhappy with this company. Its been a week since I have heard from them.
This is the beginning of a new chapter in the American experience. Staunch Americans of all backgrounds have started to discern the uniqueness of “White” culture as the Old World forces influence and population onto our shores in the name of Globalization.
Notice her voice trembles while the room looks on scoffingly.
Five years ago a girl like this might have been in a lecture hall quietly accepting and mulling over the existence of America as experiment in multiculturalism.
Now, she finds the words to question the whole premise.
Her counterparts already have the vocabulary, developed over decades. They object to being vilified and demonized in their own right but neglect to acknowledge that demonizing Americans will destroy trust in the assimilation process.
