AUTUMN LEAVES, November 26:

This is the final view of 2017. Winter is here, at least as far as Noture is concerned. The deck view is the same as last week, only the morning haze has gone.

The driveway view is also unchanged, just a little sharper without the haze.

The pond view was taken from much higher up the stairway (lazy me) but shows the same - no leaves left and a much sharper view without the morning fog that's pretty regular this time of year.

THANK YOU. NOW PLEASE STAY HOME: Liberals prepare themselves for another Thanksgiving family dinner.

If you will notice, there are no conservatives writing how-to-lecture-a-captive-audience stor[ies].

[Update]

The former IRS employee and her deputy asked a federal court to keep their testimonies in the Tea Party targeting case private forever, over fear of death threats and potential harm to their families if the documents go public.

The reason the Left always accuses Tea Party members - and conservatives generally - of planning violent retribution is that it is exactly what they would do if the roles were reversed.

It's called projection.

AUTUMN LEAVES, November 19:

Here's this weeks view of the onset of winter. From the deck, the only difference from last week is more haze and more leaves on the ground.

From the driveway, there is a bit more leaf clutter post last week's cleaning, and a few more down from the trees.

The same lack of change is evident in the pond view as well, even though the vantage point is a bit further down the stair. There simply are no more leaves to drop.

Finally, here's a view of our home from across the pond.

DNC CHAIR TOM PEREZ AND SENATE DEMOCRATS won’t say if Robert Menendez should leave Senate if convicted in corruption case.

But they will demand that Judge Roy Moore be denied the Republican nomination for election to the Senate in the Alabama election to replace Jeff Sessions on the basis of 30-year-old allegations of sexual misconduct.

Hypocrites.

IS THERE NOTHING the Republicans can't screw up?

Republicans are likely to continue their legislative losing streak because they’re afraid to govern on the principles they were elected on out of fear of losing their offices. If they continue to fail to do so, voters will relieve them of that burden.

It will continue long as they remain e(stablishment)-Republicans. We must change that.

HEH: Local bakers sue Oberlin College for libel and slander.

Punching back twice as hard.

DEMOCRATS’ NRA/GOP-BASHING NARRATIVE collapses under weight of reality. But they continue because "demagoguing opponents with different views is the one-trick political pony on which they ride, and nothing’s going to make them dismount."

AUTUMN LEAVES, November 12:

Well, it looks like leaf-fall is complete. I'll keep going for another week or two, but what's left today is mostly evergreens, emply branches, and lots of future mulch. Here's the deck view this week:

It's cool and overcast today, so rather drab, and the winds and rain over the last week have pretty well cleared the trees of leaves. Now the driveway view:

It's much the same as last week, only more drab. The driveway was completely covered in leaves until I blew them off yesterday.

The pond view is slightly different from last week, taken higher up the hill because the stairs are pretty slippery with wet leaves.

There has been little change in color, and the leaves are much thicker on the ground than last week. Next week should be about the same, hopefully sunnier, though.

HEH: Are liberals making a case for mandatory church attendance?

I agree that it would probably be more effective than gun control.

RANDOM THOUGHT: America is still a 2-party political system. It's just that the parties are now Socialist (formerly Democrat) and Democrat (formerly Republican). There is no longer a conservative political party.

I'M OLD ENOUGH to remember when journalism thought Veteran's Day was important enough to cover. Today I tried to tune into the wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, which always occurs at 11:11 am on Nov. 11 every year.

This year I could find only Fox News and CSPAN (both cable channels) covering the event, from wreath-laying ceremony through Vice President Pence's speech afterward. Only CSPAN had continuous coverage. CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC? Absent.

IT'S NOT A BUG, IT'S A FEATURE: Does the Republican tax plan "screw Democratic voters"?

AUTUMN LEAVES, November 5:

What a difference a cold snap makes. Here are this week's pictures. As usual, we begin with the view from our deck and this week it's all reds, golds, and bare.

Here are last weeks pictures for comparison.

The driveway view isn't as dramatic, but still we're seeing quite a bit of change over the week with the browns and golds (and a bit of red) take center stage.

It was warm enough that I ventured down to the pond again Here's the pond view, and for comparison, a similar view from two weeks ago. Another dramatic change -- the green is almost entirely gone, replaced with reddish browns. Note, too, that the pond surface is covered with a surface scum left from all the fallen leaves.

Here's another pond view taken, as the one from two weeks ago, about midway up the 126 steps from house to pond.

As a bonus this week, here's a picture looking back from Seminole Way, an overgrown 'road' that serves as a back entrance to the pond.

Its narrowness, combined with the overhanging branches, make it seem more like a tunnel than a roadway.

IT'S NOT TOO MUCH to ask demand our GOP hacks show some loyalty to their voters.

ON TRUMP'S LACK OF DECORUM, DIGNITY, AND STATESMANSHIP:

My Leftist friends (as well as many ardent #NeverTrumpers) constantly ask me if I’m not bothered by Donald Trump’s lack of decorum. They ask if I don’t think his tweets are “beneath the dignity of the office.” Here’s my answer:

We Right-thinking people have tried dignity. There could not have been a man of more quiet dignity than George W. Bush as he suffered the outrageous lies and politically motivated hatreds that undermined his presidency.

We tried statesmanship. Could there be another human being on this earth who so desperately prized “collegiality” as John McCain?

We tried propriety – has there been a nicer human being ever than Mitt Romney?

And the results were always the same. This is because, while we were playing by the rules of dignity, collegiality and propriety, the Left has been, for the past 60 years, engaged in a knife fight where the only rules are those of Saul Alinsky and the Chicago mob.

I don’t find anything “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper” about Barack Obama’s lying about what went down on the streets of Ferguson in order to ramp up racial hatreds because racial hatreds serve the Democratic Party. I don’t see anything “dignified” in lying about the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi and imprisoning an innocent filmmaker to cover your tracks. I don’t see anything “statesman-like” in weaponizing the IRS to be used to destroy your political opponents and any dissent. Yes, Obama was “articulate” and “polished” but in no way was he in the least bit “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper.”

The Left has been engaged in a war against America since the rise of the Children of the ‘60s. To them, it has been an all-out war where nothing is held sacred and nothing is seen as beyond the pale. It has been a war they’ve fought with violence, the threat of violence, demagoguery and lies from day one – the violent take-over of the universities – till today. The problem is that, through these years, the Left has been the only side fighting this war. While the Left has been taking a knife to anyone who stands in their way, the Right has continued to act with dignity, collegiality and propriety. With Donald Trump, this all has come to an end. Donald Trump is America ’s first wartime president in the Culture War.

During wartime, things like “dignity” and “collegiality” simply aren’t the most essential qualities one looks for in their warriors. Ulysses Grant was a drunk whose behavior in peacetime might well have seen him drummed out of the Army for conduct unbecoming. Had Abraham Lincoln applied the peacetime rules of propriety and booted Grant, the Democrats might well still be holding their slaves today. Lincoln rightly recognized that, “I cannot spare this man. He fights.”

General George Patton was a vulgar-talking, son-of-a-bitch. In peacetime, this might have seen him stripped of rank. But, had Franklin Roosevelt applied the normal rules of decorum then, Hitler and the Socialists would barely be five decades into their thousand-year Reich.

Trump is fighting. And what’s particularly delicious is that, like Patton standing over the battlefield as his tanks obliterated Rommel’s, he’s shouting, “You magnificent bastards, I read your book!”

That is just the icing on the cake, but it’s wonderful to see that not only is Trump fighting, he’s defeating the Left using their own tactics. That book is Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals – a book so essential to the Liberals’ war against America that it is and was the playbook for the entire Obama administration and the subject of Hillary Clinton’s senior thesis. It is a book of such pure evil, that, just as the rest of us would dedicate our book to those we most love or those to whom we are most indebted, Alinsky dedicated his book to Lucifer.

Trump’s tweets may seem rash and unconsidered but, in reality, he is doing exactly what Alinsky suggested his followers do. First, instead of going after “the fake media” — and they are so fake that they have literally gotten every single significant story of the past 60 years not just wrong, but diametrically opposed to the truth, from the Tet Offensive to Benghazi, to what really happened on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri — Trump isolated CNN. He made it personal.

Then, just as Alinsky suggests, he employs ridicule which Alinsky described as “the most powerful weapon of all.” ... Most importantly, Trump’s tweets have put CNN in an untenable and unwinnable position. ... They need to respond. This leaves them with only two choices. They can either “go high” (as Hillary would disingenuously declare of herself and the fake news would disingenuously report as the truth) and begin to honestly and accurately report the news or they can double-down on their usual tactics and hope to defeat Trump with twice their usual hysteria and demagoguery. The problem for CNN (et al.) with the former is that, if they were to start honestly reporting the news, that would be the end of the Democratic Party they serve.

It is nothing but the incessant use of fake news (read: propaganda) that keeps the Left alive. Imagine, for example, if CNN had honestly and accurately reported then-candidate Barack Obama’s close ties to foreign terrorists (Rashid Khalidi), domestic terrorists (William Ayers), the mafia (Tony Rezko) or the true evils of his spiritual mentor, Jeremiah Wright’s church.. Imagine if they had honestly and accurately conveyed the evils of the Obama administration’s weaponizing of the IRS to be used against their political opponents or his running of guns to the Mexican cartels or the truth about the murder of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and the Obama administration’s cover-up.

So, to my friends on the Left — and the #NeverTrumpers as well — do I wish we lived in a time when our president could be “collegial” and “dignified” and “proper”? Of course I do. These aren’t those times. This is war. And it’s a war that the Left has been fighting without opposition for the past 50 years. So, say anything you want about this president - I get it - he can be vulgar, he can be crude, he can be undignified at times. I don’t care. I can’t spare this man. He fights for America!

This came in my email. Whoever wrote it, he or she brilliantly captured the zeitgeist of 'Trumpism'.

He fights. He fights for me.
