Swinging Sixties

…and I’m not talking about granny-swapping at the retirement home, either.

Earlier in the week, I referred to the “Swinging 60s” in talking about the late Jane Birkin, and I found her pics in a long-forgotten pic folder of similar totties.  So why not show them?  After all, they make a great review of what the latter half of that decade was all about.

Down The Blue Sinkhole

Illinois has joined California (and not for the first time) in their blue-state legislative insanity, and IlGov Fatboi is leading the charge:

Starting January 1st, 2024, Illinois landlords will be required to rent or sell property to illegal aliens. Illinois Democrat Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed SB 1817 into law in late June, which will add “protections in the Illinois Human Rights Act for housing regarding immigration status protection and discriminatory advertising.”

Did I mention that Illinois also passed legislation, which Pritzker also gleefully signed into law, extending standard driver’s license privileges to illegal aliens?

Illinois Democrat State Sen. Ann Gillespie led the effort to expand housing rights to illegal aliens, absurdly claiming that the bill will ensure that illegals aren’t “unjustly denied housing.”

“Someone’s background should not disqualify them from buying or renting property.”

Almost without reflection, I can think of five reasons why illegal residence (which has nothing to do with “background”, by the way) is a very valid reason for disqualification.

To my Ill-Annoys Readers (and I think you know who I’m talking to):  it’s time to leave the state, or actively start seeking employment- and residential opportunities elsewhere so that you can.  Your state is fucked, California-not-so-lite, and that’s the beginning and end of it.  As I say to recalcitrant South Africans:  you don’t want to be in the line for a seat on that last helicopter on the rooftop;  get out while you can.

Look, I know that it’s not an easy decision:  I myself decided to flee Chicago only after much thought, soul-searching and anguish, especially as Connie really didn’t want to leave.  We even looked at northern Michigan for a while (I wouldn’t now, but that’s a different discussion), but eventually decided on Texas because Texas.

Ultimately, we were driven out by the combination of horrible gun laws, high taxes and a Marxist congressional representative (Jan Schakowski), but even when we lived in the NW burbs, our state senator was… the above-mentioned Ann Gillespie.  All those factors forced us to leave.  And that was then.  Now?  Huh.  Like a flash.

News Roundup

Speaking of close shaves:


...okay, which one of you didn’t return Sarah Hoyt’s Shocked Face?  And lest you think this is a U.S.-only thing:


...of course you have, you slimy little shit.

Still on the topic of Gummint skullduggery:


...wait, they weren’t on c.c.?


...”the common defense” treaty clause notwithstanding?  Again, I am astonished that someone with so little foreign affairs intelligence was once U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

Some Crime News:


...and a nation cheers.

…and: 
...I assume both were the Frigidaire 247 “Jeffrey Dahmer” model.

And in Global Warming Climate Cooling Change© News:


...gosh, who could have seen this coming? — well, apart from any thinking human being, that is.

From the Dept. Of Injustice:


...if this evil, murderous bitch were murdered in the prison parking lot within minutes of release, I’d throw a party.


...in other news: scorpion stings frog.



...and if you’re thinking “swapsies?”, I know:  I’m wondering the same thing They all look a little too All-American Christianist, judging by the pic;  but nowadays, who knows?


...don’t tell us;  tell that foul Paltrow mountebank.

And in still more INSIGNIFICA:


...unless she had really bad sex when she was (a lot) younger, I bet it isn’t.  But that’s not as stomach-churning as this one:


...just kill me now.  Foul Scandi slut.

But some welcome news, for a change, in Women’s Sports:


...and who she, this Giulia Gwinn?

And not in uniform:

Lovely.  I’m really glad she’s not following the Slut Career Path.

“Dear Dr. Kim”

“Dear Dr. Kim:

“Not only has my wife now gone off sex altogether, she won’t even kiss me. She says it makes her feel “dirty and disgusting” and that it’s just not something she wants to do any more. I don’t understand where this has come from, but it’s beginning to break my heart.

“I’m 55 and she is 49. We have been married for 20 years and now have two grown-up children. While we’ve never had the most exciting sex life, we always used to make time for a bit of intimacy. Now she no longer touches me, and even when I try to kiss her or cuddle her, she makes it clear how uncomfortable she is about it. I’ve tried everything but she is making me feel unattractive and unwanted.

“How can I solve this problem? I miss feeling close to her.

Rejected, Cambridge

Dear Rejected:

Of all the ways a woman can reject a man, telling him that intimacy makes her feel “dirty and disgusting” has to be the most brutal.  So why is she doing this to you?

She’s having an affair.

No point whining about it;  it’s a done deal.  If you don’t want to get a divorce, move all your stuff into another bedroom (you should have one, as your kids are grown), and then start living a separate life from her:  women, friends, late nights and so on.  When you go out, don’t tell her where you’re going or when she can expect you back.  If she asks if you’re seeing another woman, tell her it’s none of her business.  Tell her that “closeness” is a two-way street, and as she’s walked away from you, you’re not going to beg for it.

Don’t even bother negotiating with her, and don’t listen to her if she wants “things to go back to the way they used to be”.

By the way:  if she’s not having an affair, then she has psychological problems that are so profound that there’s no point in you trying to understand or fix them.

In either case, my advice is the same:  dump her and get on with your own life.
