Here we see two hotties (of different vintages) wearing somewhat startling outfits to a social occasion:
Paige Spirinac (29), to some party of glitterati:
…and Catherine Zeta-Jones (52), to a wedding (!):
Now I would have no problem with this latest “see-through” fashion trend, until it spreads to women like… (no names, no outbreaks of mass vomiting).
I do care about my Readers’ tender sensibilities…
“When civilization falls apart, the rifle I want is an AK-47.” We all know that famous quote, but an even better one is: “When civilization falls, you’d better know how to survive in Nature”, as Richard Moss describes the fate of the “social elites” who don’t:
They would soon realize that their clever turns of phrase, condescending smirks, allegiance to “diversity,” abortion, and rejection of God would mean nothing before the fury of nature and nature’s God. Their fatal conceits would vanish in terrified moments as nature delivered its cruel blows. Their high-minded rhetoric, progressive orthodoxy, navel-gazing, and self-absorption would dissolve before the acid rain of Gaia’s indifferent wrath.
All good stuff. Of course, I don’t have much of that knowledge either — or at least, it’s been largely forgotten — but I have friends who do, and I would arrive at their doorstep with tons of food, guns and ammo — to help guard them and their loved ones against the inevitable hordes of goblins who would try to prey on them.
The East/West Coast types? Best leave them in their ignorance.
Is there a man alive* who doesn’t get the Warm ‘N Fuzzies from reading this?
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch notes that the alleged robber entered the store and “announced a robbery.” He then allegedly put a knife to the clerk’s throat and demanded money from the cash register.
At one point during the incident a customer who had just exited the store looked through the window and saw the suspect allegedly dragging the clerk “while she was screaming.”
The customer grabbed a pistol from his vehicle, went inside, and confronted the suspect.
The suspect then allegedly walked toward the customer, holding a backpack in outstretched arms and saying, “I have something for you.”
The customer opened fire and the suspect collapsed.
The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.
When all you can complain about is the grammar (“exited the store”?), it’s a happy day indeed.
Well, except for the “alleged” goblin, but fuck him.
*unless you’re in the Uvalde Police Department, that is.
How Sri Lanka fell into the pit.
Executive Summary: Debt.
An object lesson for all governments, not the least ours. The only good thing about this debacle is that the ChiComs are going to take it between the cheeks.
Footnote: the World Bank gave all sorts of accolades to Sri Lanka for its economic growth, even though the economy was built on foreign loans which the country had no chance of ever repaying. So much for the banking system…

…in which the delectable Nicole Johnson achieves more than one Moment Of Ecstasy when driving (actually, being driven in) a muscular Austin Healey Sprite.
The engineering is brilliant, and the car is as cute as she is. Watch it and enjoy (20 minutes).
440 horsepower, baby. Sheeeeesh….
And this is Nicole after her Big Moment:
Sometimes, the news is just priceless.
Why are people across China refusing to pay housing loans?
A wave of disgruntled homebuyers are refusing to pay mortgages for unfinished or stalled housing projects, as debt-strapped property developers run out of cash. Payments have stopped on at least 100 projects in more than 50 cities, according to researcher China Real Estate Information Corp. Analysts believe that a drop in home values may be another driver for the refusal to meet payments. Until recently, China’s mortgages have been considered among the safest banking assets because of high down payments and collateral value.
So let me see: you take on debt to purchase a product, and when the product fails to be delivered, you refuse to pay for it. Only in a world of banker-thought can you be the bad guy.
As to why all this is happening, see here. (Executive summary: it was all built on debt.)
And it couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of Commie assholes.
