Wonders

Wonder of nature: confluence point between the Rio Negro and the Rio Solimoes, continuing into the Amazon, Brazil. Reuters photo by Jorge Silva:

Knock me down. Headline from nypost.com: “OnlyFans top earner is a virgin and a devout Christian — but has hauled in $43M.” Has anyone demanded proof?

Common sense, from NYP: “Mayor Adams wants migrants charged with crimes deported from NYC in major shift as he dares progressives to ‘cancel me’.” Kudos.

From NYP: “Back to basics: Young men leaving traditional churches for ‘masculine’ Orthodox Christianity in droves.” Not surprising, as masculinity is viewed as toxic by some, perhaps even many.

Another new term, from an NYP article by Asia Grace: “Stealthing,” the devious act of nonconsensual condom removal during intercourse.” Some places have criminalized it. Women are outing perps to dating sites, which institute a ban on offenders.

Cue the William Tell Overture, from NYP: “Colorado cop grabs a kid’s bike out of a family’s yard to chase down suspect in hot pursuit.” He got his man. Kudos.

How refreshing that all of South Korea seemed to rise in opposition when its leader declared martial law, which he was forced to revoke two hours later.

Good news, headline from foxnewscom: “Some migrants, anticipating Trump’s policies, are already turning back home: report.”

Because of the pardon, Hunter Biden is exempt from paying taxes on millions.

Not much sunshine today at the Anti-Inflation Book Shop, so I packed up about a half-hour early. My thanks to the young man who paid for Games of the World through Paypal, and to the young man who bought two hardcovers in Russian; and to the gentleman who purchased Five Cents by yours truly; and to the one who donated a bunch of Russky DVDs.
