Government of the self was the original basis for republican government, reflecting the view that civil society was much more than politics. Society was made up of men and women who gave order to their lives by entering into associations on a voluntary basis, quite apart from government, for all the various reasons of fellowship, philanthropy, faith and commerce.

Above – rare documentary evidence of two giant showa koi – hence the portmanteau, “Koiju” – seen swimming in the Chiraibetsu River, near Sarufutsu-mura in in SÅya Subprefecture, Hokkaido, Japan.
Honestly, not much needs to be added to this image beyond the sad fact that I’m just posting it for normal, true-born and rightly-raised Americans since the Leftists – the ones who need it – would never countenance even the thought of internalizing facts such as these, especially when presented to them by a normal, straight, White man.
ROFLMAO And yes; in case you don’t get it, Otto Frederick Rohwedder both invented the bread slicing machine and first sold pre-sliced bread in 1928, whereas the paralleled Betty White was born in 1922. Hence, sliced bread is the best thing since Betty White, not the other way around. 😉
The beautiful Desi babe in the video above is why I love Bollywood, especially their musicals and romcoms. Or, at least, she and those like her in the Indian film industry are a large part of why I do so. The others being a life-long love of classic musicals – think anything starring Howard Keel – and a desire to maintain at least a tiny bit of my lingering fluency in Hindi. 😉
And no, it’s not a “guilty pleasure,” because I feel neither guilt nor shame for loving Bollywood musicals and romcoms. They are, insofar as I know, the last iteration of both the cinematic and musical genres created in far better, past days in America and the feature beautiful women who love, as opposed to hating, their feminine curves.
Yeah, whenever I see, hear, or read about Creepy Uncle “Bad Touch” Biden being the POTUS, I’m reminded of the following bit of sarcastic rural wisdom/humor:
Recently, an old rancher was talking about politics with a young man from the city. He compared Biden to a “post turtle.” Of course, the young urbanite doesn’t understand this and asked the old rancher what a post turtle is.
The old man said, “When you’re driving down a country road and you see a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that’s a post turtle. You know he didn’t get up there by himself. He doesn’t belong there; you wonder who put him there; he can’t get anything done while he’s up there; and you just want to help the poor, dumb thing get down.”

One thing though. This seems to be actually working and working well for Biden. The majority of Americans feel too sorry for the brain-rotted, old fool to hold any genuine anger towards him.
