Would you take her out if you knew she was a concealed carry kinda gal? Thoughts on her draw/finger discipline 👀🤔

Some of Mae West's Best One-liners. Mae West was a master of witty, saucy, and iconic one-liners that celebrated independence, glamour, and double entendres. Her sharpest quips covered everything from romance and wealth to living life on her own terms. • “You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” • “There are no good girls gone wrong ― just bad girls found out.” • “I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it.” • “Every man I meet wants to protect me. I can't figure out what from.” • “I wrote the story myself. It's about a girl who lost her reputation and never missed it.” • “Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.” • “Good sex is like good bridge.

There'll always be more.” • “If I can't have a man with a million dollars, I'll have a million men with one dollar.” • “Gentlemen prefer blondes, but who says blondes prefer gentlemen?” • “Whenever I have to choose between two evils, I always like to try the one I haven't tried before” • “An ounce of performance is worth a pound of promises.” • “Don’t ever make the same mistake twice, unless it pays.” MAE WEST

November 1873. The United States stood on the brink of war with Spain over Cuba during the Virginius Affair. Nathan Bedford Forrest wrote General William T. Sherman offering his services as a volunteer. He said he could raise 1,000 to 5,000 former Southern soldiers on short notice and assemble them at New Orleans, Mobile, Pensacola, or Key West as either cavalry or infantry. Sherman forwarded the letter to the War Department. He called Forrest one of the most extraordinary men produced by the Civil War and stated that if war came and cavalry was needed, he would unhesitatingly accept Forrest’s services and give him a prominent place. Less than a decade after the war, the man who had once been Sherman’s most feared opponent stood ready to fight for the United States.

In Arthur’s garage sits a 1968 V8 engine. It is completely restored. Every chrome part reflects the sunlight. It needs exactly one bolt and a turn of a key to roar to life. It has been one bolt away from finished for ten years. I asked Arthur why he does not tighten the final bolt. He looked at the engine for a long time. He said, "My son and I started this in 2014. He went to serve overseas in 2016 and didn't come back." He picked up a rag and wiped a speck of dust that did not exist. "If I turn the key," he said softly, "the project is over." Every Saturday, four men from the street walk into Arthur’s garage. They do not ask if he needs help. They do not bring tools. Kevin brings a thermos of black coffee. A man named Thomas brings a folded newspaper. They sit on overturned buckets around the silent engine for three hours. Sometimes nobody speaks for forty minutes. They just listen to the wind and drink coffee in the presence of an unfinished dream. Last month, Arthur was in the hospital for three days. On Saturday, we still went to his garage. We sat on the buckets around the engine in the quiet. We guarded the missing bolt. When Arthur came home on Monday, he found the garage exactly as he left it. Not a single tool had been moved. But the coffee pot was clean, and a fresh bag of beans was on the workbench. Arthur walked out to his driveway, looked at Kevin and me, and nodded once. A sanctuary does not require a roof. Sometimes it is just four men sitting around a silent engine, keeping a father's time from running out.

@AfFrontiersman While this is possible, it's pure speculation.

@realtimeai @GaltMD You've obviously lived in a comfy bubble your whole life. I hope you're lucky enough for that to continue, but odds are it won't.

@GaltMD That's basically the two types of criminal defendants you see too.

The Navy didn’t achieve its nuclear safety record because 20-year-olds can operate reactors. It achieved it because Rickover built a culture where those 20-year-olds are rigorously trained, continuously evaluated, procedurally disciplined and surrounded by layers of technical oversight. The reactor is only part of the system. The culture is the safety system.

The U.S. Navy currently operates 11 big deck nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and 71 nuclear-powered submarines that are operated by 18 to 30-year-old men. But most climate alarmists I encounter seem to think that nuclear power is too dangerous to power society.

There’s a reason adults don’t reward a screaming toddler every time he throws himself on the grocery-store floor and starts howling like a banshee. Because if the tantrum gets the fucking cookie, congratulations, you dumb son of a bitch: you didn’t stop the tantrum. You just scheduled the next one. And the one after that. And the one after that. Apparently nobody ever explained this basic, non-negotiable fact of reality to the absolute morons running Europe’s border policy. Ceuta gets overrun. A swarm of illegal migrants shows up with no food, no water, no plan, and no intention of supporting themselves. Instant “humanitarian emergency.” Cue the camera phones and the sad faces. And what the fuck happens? Food appears. Blankets appear. Aid organizations materialize out of thin air like goddamn magic. Local facilities start buckling, so the geniuses in charge start transferring the invaders to mainland Spain to “relieve the pressure.” Relieve the pressure. You created the pressure by rewarding the breach, you absolute clowns. Then you reward it harder by moving the problem inland and calling it management. Brilliant fucking strategy. Create enough chaos and the government removes the obstacle for you. Then the political class stands there with its collective thumb up its ass, wondering why more people might try the exact same shit next week. As el gato malo put it: “if crybabies get cookies, you’re raising crybabies.” That isn’t cruelty. That’s cause and fucking effect. Every parent understands it. Every dog trainer understands it. Every casino understands it. Every corporation running a rewards program understands it. But the second the incentive involves a border, European bureaucrats suddenly turn into drooling idiots who act like basic behavioral reality is some far-right conspiracy theory. Reward legal behavior? Incentives matter. Tax the shit out of cigarettes? Incentives matter. Shovel subsidies at electric cars? Incentives matter. Reward an illegal border crossing with free food, free blankets, free assistance, and a free ride deeper into the country? Oh no, suddenly incentives are radioactive. Suddenly you’re a monster for noticing the obvious. Ceuta isn’t complicated, you soft, suicidal fucks. When manufacturing a crisis gets you exactly what you wanted, you haven’t solved the crisis. You’ve taught every single person watching exactly how to manufacture the next one. Keep handing out the goddamn cookies. Just stop the pathetic act of being “shocked” when the tantrums get louder, bigger, and more frequent. You’re not managing a border. You’re running a training program for the next flood.

Is anybody on here older than GPS? If so how did you make it to where you were going?

@RealisticPoetry On the road, paper maps. Gas stations gave them away. You learned your area. Off road, map and compass. At sea, paper charts. Dead reckoning, taking bearings, watching your soundings, LORAN and celestial.

I hope he's right.

An American neighbor was building a doghouse. It was made of solid oak, insulated, and had double-paned glass windows. It looked like a bunker for a tiny military commander. I asked if his dog was an elite operative. He said, "No. He’s twelve years old. His joints hurt when it rains." He was building it with a spirit level and a tape measure, checking every millimeter. I helped him hold the roof timber. We worked until dark. When we finished, the dog walked inside, laid down on the warm cedar floor, and went to sleep instantly. The man sat on the grass in the rain, soaked to the bone, watching his dog through the glass. He didn't care about the rain. He had built a dry world for a friend whose legs were failing. Tonight, an old warrior sleeps without pain.

I asked a man named Hank for directions to a diner. He did not point. He took out a pencil and drew a complete map on the back of a receipt. He marked three distinct stoplights, a crooked oak tree, and a pothole near the Shell station that he told me to "respect." Then he looked at my front left tire, frowned, and kicked it once with his boot. "Thirty-two PSI," he said. "You're running on thirty. Go to the air pump behind the car wash. It's free." I had not asked about my tire. I had asked for pancakes. I drove to the car wash. The air pump was indeed free. As the gauge reached thirty-two, I stared at the valve cap in my hand and realized what had occurred. In my country, when a stranger inspects your vehicle without permission, it is a declaration of surveillance. You prepare your spear. In Ohio, a man looks at your tire because he cannot bear the thought of a guest in his county riding on weak pressure. He did not give me directions to a diner. He issued a tactical maintenance order disguised as a casual conversation. I returned to the diner two hours later. Hank was sitting at the counter with a black coffee. I walked up, stood straight, and said, "Thirty-two." Hank did not smile. He simply nodded once, took a sip of his coffee, and said to the waitress, "Give this man the blueberry ones." America does not offer help. It quietly assumes responsibility for your journey.

Communist “solidarity” is when 3 commie governments slaughter each other in under a year. In 1978, the Khmer Rouge raided Vietnam from Cambodia and butchered 3,000 Vietnamese civilians in schools and temples. Vietnam responded by invading Cambodia with 150,000 troops and toppling the Khmer Rouge, ending the genocide that had already wiped out 25% of the Cambodian population. China didn’t like that. So they sent in 200,000 troops in 1979 to punish the Vietnamese. And this is how class solidarity and eternal peace were achieved under communism.
