Seen at Insty’s:
Okay… assuming that men even want to “step up”: what are you and your girlfriends going to bring to the party that would encourage us to do so?
Because if all you have is attitude… buh-bye.

Monday Funnies
But before you do:
And some Random Redheads to help you get on your way, or whatever:
Classic Beauty: Theda Bara
By today’s standards, Theda Bara wasn’t especially beautiful, nor was she a good actress — all overblown, cheesy gestures and expressions — but never forget that for a while, she was the biggest sex symbol of them all.
I just wish that most of her movies hadn’t been lost in a fire.
Not Nice
…nor Cannes, nor even Monte Carlo. The best place to be on the French Riviera (the Midi, if we’re going to be travel snobs) is none of the above, but at the gorgeous Juan-Les-Pins.
Here’s its location:
You need to get there in late March / early April, because when the season starts, the place fills up with celebrities (they know a good thing, the bastards) and the prices shoot up accordingly.
It is probably my #1 Lottery Destination (depending on when those bastards get their act together and realize that I am a Deserving Winner). But out of season, even the Hotel Belles Rives is amazingly affordable.
…and that’s the ugly side. Imagine staying for a week or so in this hotel room:
…with this sort of view:
…with this restaurant (one of two):
…offering this kind of food:
Oh, and did I mention the terrace bar?
Of course, you’ll be wondering if there are any sights to see. If you can drag yourself off their private beach, you’ll see lots of the following:
Open Borders, Repel Boarders
Oh yeah, about that “open border” foolishness (as espoused by the Biden Maladministration)? Here’s a nice situation:
On Wednesday, the Richmond Police Department announced the arrests of Guatemalan nationals 52-year-old illegal alien Julio Alvardo Dubon and 38-year-old illegal alien Rolman Balacarcel Ac for allegedly plotting a mass shooting at the city’s July 4th celebration.
Note that these two criminals seem to have had absolutely no problem getting the necessary equipment:
That is when police raided Dubon’s residence to find two rifles, a handgun, and 223 rounds of ammunition.
…so let’s have MORE gun control, of course.
Never mind deportation — both are multiple border-jumpers. Just fucking shoot them when they try to escape.
Dumb Shits
Yeah, that’s right: you fire a whole bunch of qualified workers because of some (unjustified) panic, and now you (unexpectedly!) have a skills shortage:
How much of this labor shortage is a direct result of Biden’s vaccine mandates and the airline industry’s reliance on the federal government to stay in business during the pandemic is not certain. What is certain is that government mandated firing of pilots, crew and ground personnel over their vaccination status contributed to the chaos we are witnessing.
What we do know is that according to a report by Cowen and Company, airline pilot retirements are projected to accelerate through the mid-2020’s with 24.7 percent of pilots subjected to mandatory retirements between 2022 and 2026. These 13,000 forced retirements are up about 70 percent from the previous five years as baby boomers age out of the cockpit.
Self-created problems do not engender sympathy.
