News Roundup

Might need to have a toke or two after reading this news roundup…

From the Disaster Known As Government:


...one wonders, just out of curiosity of course, how the Blackhawk’s pilot would have responded if he’d started to take fire from the ground Just idly wondering, of course.


...and just when you thought Catch-22 was out of date.

From the Education Department:


...keyword:  Australia.


...now that’s overachieving, even for #Wisconsin And… 11?


...no.  Now onto our next item:


...she’s lying.  I bet she doesn’t even know what Gen her alleged Glock is, never mind how to load it.

In Furrin News:


...maybe because they’re four times as likely to be criminals?

...ahhh Alica Schmidt;  the best thing to come out of Germany since the Mercedes Gullwing.

And that’s all the nudes news worth uncovering.

Failed Shakedown

Oh, this is going to make all the Usual Suspects unhappy:

…as well they should, considering that Great Britain was foremost among Western European nations in banning slavery.  (They weren’t the first, but from memory, most of the earlier banners weren’t actively involved in the slave trade anyway, so they hardly count.)

Anyway, all sane people know that this whole “reparations” boondoggle is just a shakedown, playing on misplaced feelings of guilt for something perpetrated by Whitey’s ancestors.

Fuck ’em.

As the man said, “When are Blacks going to pay royalties on all the benefits bestowed in them by Western civilization?”

Posers

Oh sure, here’s another attempt to try to persuade voters that Democrats aren’t going to try to take their guns away… why see, they have guns too, just like regular folks.


…yeah, reloading a shotgun is a total bitch, innit?

Let’s look at the efforts of previous Democrat assholes:

…and the immortal:


…which, by the way, is of my own design, but help yourselves, you’re welcome.

The alternate:

They must really think we’re fucking stupid.

Failed Landmark

This just sucks:

The future of the iconic Chrysler Building in New York City is uncertain as its owners face eviction – leaving the crown jewel of Gotham’s high-rise at risk of falling into disrepair.

The owner of the land on which the skyscraper stands said it has terminated the building buyer’s ground lease and taken control of the Art Deco gem in Midtown Manhattan.

To call the Chrysler a “gem” is to do the building a great injustice.  Alone among all the skyscrapers in New York, it’s a building worth saving because its beauty makes it truly a work of art rather than just another grubby office building.

The problem with a building — any building, no matter how well constructed or of what durable materials it was built — is that it needs constant care and refurbishment, which clearly has been neglected by this lovely structure’s various owners over the decades. And to be frank, all of them need to be whipped at the post.

A cursory glance at what the landowners have been demanding for rent over the years, however, may be a clue as to why the neglect has occurred.

But like all downtown buildings, the Chrysler was nuked by Covid and its aftermath of “work-from-home” and empty offices thereby.  So its chances of survival at this point seem remote, unless some super-billionaire with imagination can think of a way out.  (One thinks of the much-maligned Donald Trump, who could probably pull off the miracle;  but he has other things to occupy him at the moment.)

So the Chrysler will probably be taken down like some exhausted Las Vegas casino, except that unlike the typical Vegas eyesore, a piece of great architectural beauty will disappear, and Manhattan will lose, in my opinion, far more of its soul than it lost when the Twin Towers fell.

Might as well look at it while we still can:

Funniest Headline Of The Week

From last Friday:

Well, if Black Lives Matter, Pink Pussyhats and Earth First members aren’t going to step up after a catastrophe, then someone has to.

And just a little note to the Daily Fail:  the Patriot Front isn’t a “white supremacist” organization, even though the Anti-Defamation League may think so.  (Irony Alert:  labeling the PF “white supremacist” is per ipso pretty much defamatory.)

Then there’s this:

Militia groups, such as Patriot Front, are reportedly using the devastating hurricanes to push a narrative about a failed or corrupt government hurricane response.

It’s not just “militia groups” who are calling the federal government’s response inadequate and pathetic;  it’s just about everyone who isn’t a Lefty asshole.

And we haven’t even started to discuss how the Fedgov’s agencies are blocking privately-funded aid and -supplies from reaching those ravaged areas…
