Quote Of The Day

From American Greatness:

“Saving the planet may be the supposed moral imperative behind policies that create scarcity, but the true motivation is power and greed.  In reality, imposing scarcity is a convenient way to consolidate political power and economic resources in the hands of existing elites.”

It’s being said about California’s water shortage, but it’s equally true in just about any situation.

News Roundup

So far, 2022 is shaping up pretty much as expected.


so now telling the truth is a jailable offense?  And then we have this:


…and everyone wonders where that came from…


can you say, “fix!”, children?  I knew you could.


seeing as it can resurrect aging, broken-down male body parts, this should come as no surprise.


not counting the gun transactions sans background checks, of which I know personally quite a few hem hem.


this isn’t shocking;  what would be shocking is the number of people who think that violence against the government is never justified.


not mentioned:  how long she has to sleep afterwards to recover her strength.


key word:  Australia.

And now a new feature:  Dept. of Covidiocy (with no links because reasons).

 

…and one with a link:


LOL.  Rules, meet moneyOh, wait

Time for INSIGNIFICA:

   
oh, where would we be without !SCIENCE! ?

And speaking of “shaping up”, here (courtesy of Reader AndrewR), is Stephanie Ferraro from Strylia:

Good grief, but that’s a lotta woman right there.  Yummy.

Whoa Mama

The other day I was browsing through a report of some celebrity event (so that y’all don’t have to), said event being a country music award thing, featuring 50+ popsy Connie Britton (invited, no doubt, because she once played a country singing star on TV).

Well, says, I, nothing wrong with having a look at Connie, even though she’s a tiresome old Lefty, because I loved her in Friday Night Lights :

Yup, it’s all still there.

However, in scrolling down the page past a few country musicians I’d never heard of before (no surprise as I’m by no means a fan of the genre) I came upon one Hannah Dasher, and my ears suddenly pricked up, because:

Yup, I know she’s a big ol’ gal, but as any fule kno, that’s my particular weak spot.

So on to her music.  Here’s You’re Gonna Love Me

…and by golly, I do.


Afterthought:  yes, she reminds me of her too, only in brunette.

Pussification Continuation

Apparently, men’s access to female pudenda has a new set of requirements:

Ten years ago, baby-faced men were passed over in Hollywood for rugged looking stars with more traditionally masculine looks. But today more feminine-looking actors with delicate features, shorter stature and symmetrical faces are more in demand because they appear to younger viewers, experts claim.
Gen Z audiences are drawn to celebrities like Tom Holland, Timothée Chalamet and Harry Styles who embody a ‘brand of enlightened non-toxic masculinity’, according to beauty expert Laura Kay.

JHC.

I can only hope that this trend is confined to Britishland — and to be honest, Brit men (with a few notable exceptions) have always struck me as being somewhat effeminate.

Anyway, if the above is a general trend for Gen Z snowflakes all over the world, then good luck to them.  May they reap the rewards they so richly deserve.

But I’m more pissed off by the fact that my efforts to get my toxic masculinity back in shape have all been for nothing:

Snow Laughing Matter

My Readers being a sensible lot, I probably shouldn’t need to post a warning about a seasonal SHTF situation like this one:

I’m going to ignore the funny bits — e.g. the hapless Kamela Harris tweeting that “America is on the move again” — to focus on the important stuff.

When I lived in Chicago and was faced with a drive of any distance away from home, I made sure that I had the following:

  • full tank of gas, and a 5-gallon can in reserve
  • two blankets — a regular woolen type and one of those Mylar things
  • water (kept inside the car, not in the trunk where it could freeze)
  • emergency food (a large jar of peanut butter, crackers, chocolate and a package of jerky, as well as some hard candy for a quick sugar boost)
  • shovel (one of those military entrenching tools, see below)
  • 10-lb bag of cat litter
  • as well as the usual emergency things one should keep in the car anyway, e.g. flashlight, blaze orange vest, insulated work gloves, road flares and so on.

Nineteen hours, as above, is a long time to be stranded in freezing weather without any kind of sustenance, and it’s just pure luck that the above episode didn’t claim any lives.

Feel free to add anything you think I’ve missed.
