REPUBLICANS SEE THE LAND OF THE FREE; Democrats see the land of the freeloader.
Key graf:

Mice die in mousetraps because they do not understand why the cheese is free.
The same thing happens with socialism.

Millennial-age Democrats need to keep that thought in mind. Seriously.

GEORGIA'S NOT 'BIG ENOUGH' FOR HER: Stacey Abrams won't run for U.S. Senate in Georgia.

Like Beto, she didn't fail high enough, so she'll almost certainly be seeking to fail higher.

WELL, GOOD: I'm not going to miss the climate Armageddon.

If Beto makes it to the Oval Office (fat chance!) I'm sure his first executive order will be to delay climate change for 8 years....

WE ALREADY KNOW IT INCREASES STUPIDITY: California tap water could increase cancer risk.

BERNIE BROS:

Heh. Linked from Townhall.

THIS CARTOON got me thinking that even if there was a vaccination for stupidity, Democrats would refuse it.

SPRING LIVES: Episode 6 of the series.

It's been a near-perfect couple of days, so much so that I've been busy with outside chores and neglectful of posting times. Here are today' s pictures. First the standard view pondwards from the deck:

Much greener this week. The bigger trees began budding out last week; now they're displaying actual leaves. The ridgeline across the pond is getting obscured, as is the pond itself by the lower growing vegetation. By next week, I expect the pond itself will be almost completely obscured except for that always visible slice at the base of the stairway.

The fire pit area has gotten much greener, but we still have some sky visible since the big trees still haven't begun to leaf out yet. As the canopy fills in, it will become much darker and 'foresty'.

The house is still relatively clear, but you can see that the canopy is developing in the upper left corner of the picture. Proof is also in the deeper shadow on the ground. We've had a couple of trees taken out (by falling) over the winter, so I'm hopeful that perhaps we can eventually have a somewhat grassy back yard.

Here's a different view from my usual - this time looking back up the stairs toward the house from the base (roughly the dock area). There are 112 steps from the dock to the basement of the house - roughly 70' and 2 'regain-my-wind' stops enroute.

The final picture is my usual from-across-the-pond view. Our house is still visible, but it'll soon disappear as the tall trees down along the pond edge add their leaves. They've been notably slow this year.

As usual, last week's pictures are here.

THE GREEN NUDE EEL IS NEITHER GREEN, NOR NUDE, NOR AN EEL: A 'Green New Deal' smackdown.

Update: be sure to watch the two videos at the end.

AMERICA'S PAC banned by Google for opposing infanticide. Takeaway: "The case for regulating tech giants like Google as public utilities, and paying their employees accordingly, continues to grow stronger."

IT WASN'T CHRISTIANS, it was Easter worshipers.

Instapundit takes note.

THINKING IT WAS A JUST A MALE PROBLEM, the Democrats nominated Hillary in 2016. Now it's coming up 2020, and judging from the ostensibly male (and female, for that matter) candidates, they're going to go gender free....

SQUEAKY WHEELS (AND CRYBULLIES) always get the grease.

RANDOM THOUGHT: The 2020 pre-election Democrat primary circus is proof - if you need any - that the inmates have taken over the asylum.

OTHER THAN AS PAWNS, Democrats have no interest in illegal aliens.

Hypocrisy unbounded.

SPRING LIVES: Episode 5 of the series.

We've had rain most of the week, but the skies cleared enough to take this week's pictures. The vegetation enjoyed the rain, though - leaves, leaves, everywhere. Here's the usual view from the deck picture:

Green is out in force and the pond is already beginning to be obscured by the foliage. The water is still cloudy from the rain; we had so much that the water level rose by about 6" and overflowed the dam itself in a couple of places. The level is almost back to normal now, but it's clear I'm going to have to put in some more overflow drains to protect the dam.

The area around the fire pit hasn't changed that much yet, but the ground is so heavily covered with leaves that there's never that much in the way of bushes low to the ground and the trees in that section are always late to bloom.

The next picture is of the house, taken near our 'lookout' bench on the path to the pond. It's probably the last reasonably clear picture of the house from down the hill until next fall.

This final picture is of the pond/dock/picnic table takes from the steps just above the pond. You can see the pond through the buds on the trees; by next week, I suspect the pond itself (and the picnic table) will be almost invisible as the leaves fill in.

Last week's pictures are here for comparison.

IT'S EASTER, and Mary had a little lamb....

POWERLINE'S Mueller Encore edition of its Week in Pictures is up. Here's my favorite this week:

As usual, there are many more. Go see them.

MORE PROOF that the mainstream media (and liberals, for that matter, but I repeat myself) are insane: Speech is violence, and vice versa.

SUBARU INTRODUCES A NEW MODEL: the 'Scubaru'.

I guess the wing wasn't quite big enough. Found on 'Nox & Friends.

"NOW WE ARE FACED WITH THE NATTERING NADLERS OF NIHILISM. The shifty and full of schiff. Delirium and dark waters. Schumer and shinola. They all embody the stupidity and excess and mendacity of the Democratic Party. Taken together, they give us the face of the Democratic Party to perfection."

Heh. Read it all.

SARAH HOYT: to dream the American Dream. To make it real requires work.

IF YOU WANT TO DEPOPULATE YOUR STATE here's how to do it. (This only works if you want fewer millionaires and billionaires....)

THEY'RE ONLY FOR VIRTUE SIGNALING: Sanctuary cities don't want illegal immigrants in their back yards.

Neither do the rest of us....

CALIFORNIA COMMITS to being the offical clown car of the Democrat party.

They're very good at it.

THE UNIVERSITY OF TULSA: anatomy of an academic suicide.

THIS TINY ELECTION proves Trump's coalition is alive and well. More proof to come in 2020.

SO WHAT? Facebook sure as hell doesn't have a problem spying on us.

SO WHAT? I TURNED OFF TV WHEN AD TIME EXCEEDED ENTERTAINMENT TIME: Networks will soon be tracking us so they can send targeted ads directly to our televisions.

FINALLY, SNOPES MAKES AN ACCURATE ASSESSMENT: rates Babylon Bee the world's most accurate news source.

VICTORY GIRLS: Chick-fil-A's hate chicken strikes again.

Heh.

NOT SO GOOD FOR THE HOUSING INDUSTRY, but nurseries are happy: Lonely millennials are making friends with houseplants.

MEDIA MATTERS TO DEMOCRAT CANDIDATES: avoid Fox News to save the Earth.

Please don't leave our echo chamber....

Update: Sorry, guys, but Amy Klobuchar has already left your bubble; Pete Buttigieg is leaving. The reason? Fox News has an audience; your echo chamber does not.

THE POP-POP-POP SOUNDS you keep hearing are of Liberal heads exploding following the release of the Mueller report. But don't worry; Liberal heads are empty, so there's no danger of being hurt in the explosions.

LAKE WOBEGONE returns.

NOT WITH REAL AMERICANS: New York Democrats show where their real priorities lie.

SPARTACUS SEZ: Moving illegals to sanctuary cities makes us less safe. For you, Spartacus, yes; for me, no.

You Dimocrats (not a misspelling) should be careful about what you demand; occasionally you will get it.

TAX DAY HAS COME AND GONE but addiction is forever.

THERE ALREADY IS - IT'S CALLED AN INCOME TAX: Is there a porn tax in your future?

At least with pornography, you're asking for what you get....

HAH: “All the major media outlets have ‘guides’ about how to read/what it means/what you need to know about the Mueller Report. You don’t need to read anything those clowns have prepared because they don’t know what the [redacted] they are talking about.”

YOU DIDN'T EARN THAT! Most millionaires inherit their money.

MSNBC contributor Jason Johnson ... blasted the very idea of millionaires taking credit for their own wealth, spreading the wildly false claim that most millionaires inherit their wealth.

"Most millionaires actually get their money because they inherit it from their millionaire parents, it's not necessarily because they went and worked hard," Johnson said.

Wrong. I worked hard for over 50 years and earned every damned dime.

THE TIME HAS ARRIVED: At what Democrats thought would be their time of triumph may become a day of reckoning wreckoning.

RIGHT: LET'S ABANDON THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE for the popular vote.

Because my stars are bigger than your stars. Thankfully, the United States is a republic, not a democracy, so (hopefully) the inmates are precluded from running the asylum.

YES, IT'S THE BABYLON BEE: Leftists demand that all criticisms of Trump cease until he stops getting death threats.

NANCY PELOSI ADMITS THE 'D' IN DEMOCRATS STANDS FOR DUMB: A 'glass of water' could win.

RUN LIKE HELL? What to do when your electric car's on fire.

DON'T WORRY, THEY'LL KEEP DIGGING: As Trump soars higher, Democrats reach their lowest point yet.

IS THERE an 'antidote to nationalism'?

Well, there's 'globalism' which is a pretty name for the Democrat vision of government by the self-anointed....

ME TOO: Bernie Sanders owes me money.

Has anyone else noticed that his 'tax the rich' stump speech has gone from millionaires and billionaires to just billionaires?

And trillionaires?

As long as its other people's money....

NOEMIE EMERY: Marching through Georgia. Stacey Abrams retains her strong grip on irrationality.

Warning: annoying 'pop-under' ads and autostart videos.

DEMOCRATS QUIETLY FRUSTRATED over 'radical freshmen' cover girls.

[Sarcasm alert] And you seriously think women should be in charge of anything?

SPRING LIVES: Episode 4 of the series.

It's near-constant rain, high winds, thunderstorms, and possible power outages (pine trees hereabouts have an unerring ability to fall on roads and powerlines) folks, so no pictures from down at the pond today. Here are this week's pictures, and it was 'poof day' (my term for when the buds finally become leaves) earlier this week. Greenery abounds.

The first picture is more or less the usual one of the pond taken from our back deck. There are still a lot of bare branches as the bigger trees have yet to blossom, but all have buds out. The smaller trees, as evidenced by the green patches, have already begun to leaf out vigorously.

The next picture is of the firepit area, and it's already showing much more green than last week. The background is beginning to be obscured by the nearer foliage, and our plantings from last week are already perking up and growing nicely.

The last two views are ones I don't normally show, facing south down a steep hill which is impossible to walk down and heavily forested to boot. But it does have several nice dogwood trees visible from the kitchen window which have just now begun to bloom. By next week the flowers will probably be gone and it will be a jungle out there again.

As usual, last week's pictures are here for comparison.

ANOTHER UNIVERSITY FOR MY 'DO NOT GO' LIST: Georgetown students pass mandatory fee for slavery reparations.

Want to bet on whether or not the faculty/administration/staff members pay the fee? (I'll take 'no' for $1000, Alex.)

REAL SOCIAL JUSTICE: White House floats releasing asylum seekers into sanctuary cities.

Democrats are mad because Trump has exposed them as the virtue-signaling hypocrites they are.

Democrats believe it's social justice only when it's in your back yard....

CANDACE OWENS: Given the Democrat Party's history of racism, their attacks on me aren't a surprise.

FROM POWERLINE'S Week in Pictures, my favorite:

Chick-fil-A's revenge. Now go see the rest.

BUT CAN HE FORWARD THEM TO SAN FRANSICO? San Jose Mayor says Trump can send illegal immigrants to his city any time.

Note that this is a political stunt; Mayor Liccardo knows full well that Trump can't transport illegals to sanctuary cities without a loooong legal fight.

I DON'T SEE WHY; DEMOCRATS ARE ALREADY HEAVILY SUBSIDIZED: ‘The Walking Dead’ likely to receive Virginia tax subsidy.

"SELLING EMPTY PIPE DREAMS TO THE EASILY GULLIBLE": How did Bernie Sanders make his money?

Lede from the comments.

DON'T THEY HAVE BIGGER PROBLEMS TO WORRY ABOUT? California may ban hotels from giving guests tiny bottles of shampoo, conditioner, lotion.

DONALD TRUMP provides Democrats a 'teachable moment'.

If only Democrats were as teachable as my cats....

FROM INSIDE THE BLUE BUBBLE: Democrat retreat begins with ‘Who Are The People?’ lesson from Ivy League professors. And Hollywood.

The theme of the House Democrats' annual retreat this year is "fighting for the people," but they needed a pair of Ivy League professors and a Hollywood power couple to explain to them just who those people are....

They don't even bother to turn their deep blue bubble to 'transparent' and look outside. Even for a moment. Because they already know everything.

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE IT'S EATING ITSELF: California has become America's cannibal state.

They've made Ouroboros a state religion....

IT'S HARD TO UNDERESTIMATE AN IQ OF ZERO: Have we been overestimating Ilhan Omar?

WHY GUNS? Watch and see.

SAN FRANCISCO'S slow-motion suicide.

Well, if Ocasio-Cortez is right, they only have 12 years left (unless Mother Nature decides to 'clean out' the bay area first).

AFTER MORE THAN A CENTURY, the cyclocopter is making a comeback.

Clever, but I suspect scaling it to human-sized is going to be an engineering bitch.

WELL, SINCE DEMOCRATS WERE THE PARTY OF SLAVERY, let them pay reparations.

HOW GOVERNMENT HEALTH CARE doesn't work.

MICHAEL RAMIREZ has advice on how to fly an airplane.

And if my experience with aviation/automobile/appliance/equipment owner's manuals is in any way relevant - and I'm sure it is - the manual is so full of politically correct hazard/health/safety/etc. warnings and placards that there is no room left for instructions on how to operate the damned thing...

THE ONLY WAY GOOGLE SWINGS is left and lefter.

THE CIRCULAR FIRING SQUAD IS LOCKED AND LOADED: With Mueller hopes gone, so goes progressive unity.

I'd suggest buying popcorn futures....

KURT SCHLICHTER ON ACADEMIA: Tear it down, and salt the earth on which it once stood.

Go ahead, make my day - read it all.

'CONGESTION PRICING' is the worst top-down solution to urban traffic woes. They forgot HOV lanes, but to be fair HOV lanes (or their equivalent) are needed before congestion pricing can be introduced.

EVERYTHING, AND EARLY ON: What did the president (Obama) know and when did he know it?

AMMO GRRRLL gets it: "[T]he terminally-stupid often have extreme arrogance to compensate for minimal brains."

The collective IQ of Congress can (easily) be exceeded by random selection of any 535 residents from rural America.

TELLS YOU WHERE THEIR PRIORITIES ARE: New York Democrats block tuition aid for Gold Star kids; approve millions for DREAMERS.

Future voters ... and control.

WHY WORRY? We already know you're hypocrites.

NO THANKS; I WANT TO MAKE IT AS HARD AS POSSIBLE FOR THE IRS TO STEAL MY MONEY: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez suggests the IRS should do your taxes for you.

Let them steal her money.

MAYBE THEY'LL VOTE REPUBLICAN INSTEAD: Will black voters save Democrats from going too far left?

DECISIONS, DECISIONS: Is Buttigieg gay enough to make up for his white male privilege?

It's hard being 'woke'. All those intersections to navigate....

WHY NOT? "The witness may not refer to a member of the committee as stupid."

If the shoe fits....

TYPICALLY STUPID MILLENNIAL:

Got a tax cut on net thanks to Trump but for various reasons instead of a small refund I now owe the IRS $1,200 and I’m mad.

— Matthew Yglesias (@mattyglesias) April 6, 2019

He's mad because the IRS changed the withholding tables to take less of his income each month instead of holding it for a full year.

Hey, Matt, you have the authority to demand the IRS withhold all your income and give it back to you at the end of the year in one lump sum (less the tax - and interest earned). It's called a Form W-4.

YOU WILL undergo racial sensitivity training.

The author of the post has it right: the liberal/progressive response to nearly every problem - and nonproblem - is to punish the innocent for the sins of the guilty, something I've been complaining about since (at least) the late 1970's.

And she's also right; it's counterproductive, both pissing off the innocent and increasing tension as they walk away from those who created the problem in the first place.

TAKE THAT, TRUMP HATERS: President Trump's approval soars.

Heh.

PUNCHING BACK TWICE AS HARD: Nunes strikes again.

Personally, I'd go for dirt on my antagonists, but he's smarter than I.

THE "I's" HAVE IT: President Narcissist speaks out about himself.

It's always about Obama; even when honoring others he was always self-referential. Remember Neil Armstrong's passing? I do, and to honor the passing of the first man on the moon, an American [hero], you do not post your words under a picture of yourself in silhouette gazing into the dawn sky.

Please go away, Mr. President. Quietly.

REALITY CHECK FOR 2020 DEMOCRATS: Moderation is the key to winning.

Which explains why Trump won - he was seen as the moderate (by most of us) after 8 years of Obama.

But don't tell that to the Democrats.

VOTERS: On illegal immigration, the Democrats are nuts.

Leave off the first three words and the statement is still accurate.

POWERLINE'S Trump hypothesis:

Trump adopts the persona of a vain and boastful man who overestimates his own abilities, because it is the surest way to cause his opponents to underestimate him.

PowerLine's right - just don't tell the Democrats.

TUCKER CARLSON: Someday the AOC moment will pass and Democrats will rejoin adult conversations about immigration.

[L]ike a lot of narcissistic children, Ocasio-Cortez does not believe in honest disagreement. Everything is a moral question. If you agree with her, you are virtuous. If you don't, you are a monster. There can be no compromise. Policy debates are pointless. There are only the battles between good and evil.

If you are on the side of good, which is Ocasio-Cortez's side, of course, you have endless leeway. You don't have to know what you are talking about. You can wade half-cocked into the country's most important debates, prove yourself an idiot and as she just put it, move on. No problem.

But if you are on the side of evil -- the other side -- watch out. There is no mercy for you. There is no forgiveness. Nothing about you is good. None of your motives are pure. You exist only to hurt and destroy. You are like a demon in a horror film.

I think it's a bit much to believe that the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezes will ever grow up. More likely the adults will have to put them in their rooms and lock their doors behind them.

INSTANT KARMA: Rhino poacher stomped by elephant and eaten by lions in South African park.

I'M REMINDED OF THE OLD OUTER LIMITS INTRO: "We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical...." California should beware, because we will control the electricity.

NO STATE imports more electricity than California. That's one way to put it, I suppose, but it's equally true - and more accurate - to write that California exports more pollution than any other state.

PROGRESSIVES UNDERSTAND they cannot win the game if forced to play by the rules.



So let's force the rules on them. Remember, for them it's about control; it's always about control.

ANOTHER FIRST for President Trump?

The sound of progressive heads exploding would be deafening....

SPRING LIVES: Episode 4 of the series:

Four pictures from this set. The first is the usual view pondward from the house; taken from my usual place on the deck. The 'butterfly bush' is losing its flowers slowly as the leaves begin to come out. We've put in some other plants in the relatively flat area around it, and created a mulched walkway through it to the stairs. Maybe in the next two weeks there will be some greenery to show there.

This one is my more-or-less usual one of the fire pit, looking down the road past the house. The trees are just beginning to bud out, but not enough yet to be visible in the photo. By the time spring has sprung, so to speak, the sky will be just barely visible in the background.

The next photo as a slightly different one, looking back at the house from that newly planted area below the walkway to the fire pit. I wish the camera had the dynamic range to show the deck, but the sun is just too dang bright.

And the last picture is the usual one from across the pond looking back toward the house. The house is (always) just visible, but the crest of the hill is obvious. By summer the hill itself will be completely obscured by the trees. There are no real leaves on any of the trees yet, but all of them are budding out. I expect green in all the pictures by next week.

As usual, last week's pictures are here.

POWERLINE'S Week in Pictures is up. My favorite:

Now go see the rest. (Especially the definition of a Democrat. And the Mao connection.)

WELL, THEY'RE STARK RAVING MAD, SO THE ANSWER IS OBVIOUS: Would the Democrats rather win in 2020, or eat themselves alive?

TUCKER CARLSON apologizes to Joe Biden.

That's what real men do when they err.

WELL, I'LL BET the favorite color isn't red.

Um, well maybe it is.

They are hypocrites, after all.

AMMO GRRRLL: I can't even....

A RED HAT never hurt anybody.

And turnabout is fair play: she got fired herself.

OBAMA: Oh, my God, what have I done?

Chickens, roost....

POWERLINE WRITES on ineffective Democrat subpoenas. Adam Schiff (Intelligence) and Jerrold Nadler (Judiciary) seem to be the prime movers in the House's subpoena effort.

If I were the Republicans, I'd mount a two-pronged counterattack. From the White House, just respond to any question or allegation with silence: "No comment".

From the Senate, I'd have the chairmen of the corresponding Senate committees, Richard Burr (Intelligence) and Lindsey Graham (Judiciary) exactly mimic the House. For example: "You want Trump's tax records? Fine, we want Shumer's and Pelosi's."

After all, I'll bet that's the rug where the real dirt can be found....

'LOW AND DISGRACEFUL'! Democrat strategist (and Hillary supporter) viciously mocks polio survivor Mitch McConnell. Read the whole Twitter string.

I'm roughly McConnell's age, and I too had polio as a child before it was essentially eradicated by the Salk and Sabin vaccines. I have difficulty walking any distances, walking on uneven or soft surfaces, and always use a handrail when climbing or descending stairs. And it gets worse with age.

Parkomenko should be given a swift kick down a steep rocky hill, then asked how he feels when (if) he gets up. That might - might - give him some small inkling of what it's like to be a 70ish polio survivor. What a maroon!

[On reflection, Parkomenko isn't a maroon; maroons are just stupid, not vicious.]

Linked from Instapundit.

NOT ACCORDING TO DEMOCRATS: Is the Affordable Care Act unconstitutional?

'Free stuff' is always constitutional....

THAT'S ALL THEY KNOW HOW TO DO: The Democrats brazenly know they have been demanding forbidden disclosures and unrealistic deadlines.

Lie, cheat, and steal. To paraphrase the 'Mayhem Like Me' guy on television, "It's what we do."

IT'S DIFFERENT when we do it. Because shut up.

WOULDN'T YOU KNOW IT? A black racist antisemite emerges as a 2020 Democrat kingmaker.

No surprise, I guess.

NO PRIVACY AT ALL: Even your wrecked car is spying on you. And not necessarily even your wrecked car....

TUCKER CARLSON and the art of the insult.

Tucker, keep after those maroons engaging in lying, pomposity, and groupthink.
Mockery works.

STACEY ABRAMS: I’m the real winner of the Georgia gubernatorial election.

So, um, why is Brian Kemp in the Governor's office?

WELL, THAT’S BECAUSE IT IS: Nearly half of men believe the pay gap is ‘made up’.

THE SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER (SPLC): neither southern nor impoverished.

Good riddance.

BLUE CITY picks up the hammer and sickle.

SO VERY TRUE: There’s something rotten in academia.

IF ONLY SNOWFLAKES WERE A THING OF THE PAST: snowfalls are now just a thing of the past.

ZERO HEDGE: Is Trump laying a trap for Democrats on immigration?

The facts stated, as best I can tell, meet the common sense test, but the interpretation of the facts is full-blown Trump Derangement Syndrome. Were I to offer an interpretation, it would be that the Democrats have laid the trap themselves; all Trump needs to to is spring it.

OH, MY: Time is racist. So ... progressives are forever?

AMEN: Millennials need a dose of history and reality. Their ignorance beggars the imagination.

THE GLOBAL WARMISTS are getting desperate if this is the crisis du jour. Next they will be warning against eating yellow snow....

IMPRIMIS: Shall we defend our common history (from the social justice warriors)?

Short answer: Damned right!

CALIFORNIA JUDGE (!) upholds Second Amendment.

DEMOCRATS: 'The Nation Must Heal Before We're All Arrested.'

Technically, it's satire.

A MAN TRIES TO KIDNAP A 5-YEAR-OLD GIRL. Until Mom pulls a gun....

TEXAS ATTORNEY GENERAL: Just you try and take my Chick-fil-A.

I would add the word 'idiotocracy' for the bozos who created this document.

KURT SCHLICHTER: "The American dream has morphed into the American grift. And we normal people are the marks."

MUELLER'S GANG tries to take down our Superman.

THE UNITED STATES SHOULD FEEL ASHAMED because Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has adopted the Democrat Party's Green New Deal plan after our own Senate voted it down.

Heh.

NOT IN MY LIFETIME. NEXT QUESTION: Can the media earn back our trust?

BREAKING - THERE ARE SOME SANE DEMOCRATS: ‘We are truly in a crisis’ at the border.

IF EVERYONE IS SO WOKE, why are things so terrible?

The question answers itself.

PROGRESSIVISM: It's now 'Woke' Forest University.

Another idiotocracy....

CLEAN ENERGY? What's that?

RASMUSSEN'S Presidential Approval Index (strong approvals less strong disapprovals) has Trump at +1 with a 50-48 margin overall on April 3rd. On the same day of his term in office, President Obama's approval index was -16.

Heh.

FACEBOOK calls for government censorship. Just let us go about our business of stealing personal information.

THE END IS [STILL] COMING: Climate alarmists continue to fail at learning from history.

OBAMA'S LEGACY is more important than the Constitution.

UNIVERSITY STUDENTS: Sharing the wealth is okay, but I earned that GPA.

Somehow I don't think they'll be that keen on 'sharing the wealth' after they've actually earned some. Sharing the wealth is just fine as long as it's someone else's wealth.

'Fraternal Order of Victims' has a nice ring to it....

FROM THE MAN who defended President Trump:

It’s probably the greatest fraud ever committed against the people of the United States. It was very, very frustrating for the president and it did interfere with his ability to do his job.

The entire podcast is here. It's long (about an hour) but worth the time.

WHY DONALD TRUMP will win in 2020.

I am willing to ascend pretty high up the old backyard oak, shimmy along a well placed branch and say, with confidence if not quite certainty, that Donald Trump will win the 2020 presidential election, and win handily.

But, but The New York Times, The Washington Post, Chris Matthews, James Comey, John Brennan, Cher, CNN, those pathetic females on The View, college professors across the country, George Conway, Maxine Waters, Mad Max Boot, Twitter-addled Bill Kristol and writers for his novelty web site The Bulsomething all tell me that’s impossible.

A formidable phalanx of contrary opinion.

Still, I will bear up under the onslaught, even if the aspiring comic Kathy Griffin shows up with a bucket full of decapitated Trump dolls and Madonna promises to purse her lips and more if enough men vote against the president.

I admit that is quite a team on the anti-Trump side. I understand that the 30,000 cheering supporters who showed up in Grand Rapids the other day can be a fickle lot. Not only that, they are completely unrepresentative of opinion in Ann Arbor, the borough of Manhattan, the People’s Republic of Amherst, Mass., or the commune known as Berkeley, Cal.

Nevertheless, contingent upon certain realities, I am confident.

In a landslide. Go see why.

WHEN 'EXPERTISE' OVERTAKES COMMON SENSE: Mom ignores doctor when her sick 2-year-old starts feeling better, Child Services send a SWAT team.

Appalling. What about the parents' rights to decide what's best for their child?

There should be lawsuits. Big lawsuits.

BUT WILL IT STAY FLIPPED? The Mueller report flips public opinion.

Personally, I think so.

ANOTHER UNIVERSITY to put on the 'Do Not Go' list.

My personal 'You May Go' list is much shorter....

NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO gets their bologna shredded.

As before.

WELL, THEY DO GET THEIR VOTERS FROM CEMETERIES: According to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Congress amended the Constitution to prevent FDR from being re-elected from the grave.

A PREVIEW: What's in the full Mueller report.

We should find out soon enough whether this is accurate. My suspicion is that it is.

WHERE IS AL GORE WHEN YOU NEED HIM? Major Greenland glacier is growing.

OF COURSE NOT: “Are the New York Times and the Washington Post going to return the ill-gotten Pulitzer Prizes the two papers received for their coverage of the nonexistent collusion between President Trump’s administration and the Russians?”

AT $15/HR, you will likely cook your own food.
