POWERLINE'S Week in Pictures has posted. My favorite is obvious:



I don't think there will be a limit in my neck of the woods.

And my thanks to Steve Hayward and the PowerLine crew for posting these heros in their regular 'people with guns' segment.



Well and truly deserved.
AT THIS POINT I think it's safe to say that both the Democrats and coronavirus are done and dead; the 'news' has returned to a diet of trivia.
TWO EXAMPLES OF EDUCATION APPARATCHIK IDIOCY:
Teacher spying on student during virtual class sends police to search 11-year old's home after spotting a BB gun in home.

Leftist teacher worries about parents listening in on his virtual (indoctrination) classes.
It's time to remove indoctrination education from the hands of government-sponsore apparatchiks.

UPDATE: More from the state next door -- Tennessee.
SO -- Is Joe Biden a bot?
AMMO GRRRLL: Our progressive thought leaders have gone full circle.

It's the same circle you see when you flush the toilet.....
PARDON THIS: Another example of President Trump living rent-free in the progressive mind.
YOU GOTTA CLEAN YOUR FLOORS: Trump blames California for wildfires.

Politico offers environmentalist excuses, but Trump's right. I know; I lived there for 5 years.
IT'S MUCH HARDER TO CHEAT when you have to vote in person.
MAYOR BILL DE BLASIO's New York City can't afford to maintain its Emergency Medical Services, but it can afford to maintain his wife's staff of 14 and budget of $2 million.
CHICAGO MAYOR LORI LIGHTFOOT: "I have a right to make sure that my home is secure." You don't.
DOCTORS WORLDWIDE are recording more deaths due to lockdowns than to COVID-19.

As I've long expected.
VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: a not quite, sort of goodbye to Germany. The Fulda Gap is no more.
GOV. GREG ABBOTT TO TEXAS CITIES: Defund the police and we’ll freeze property taxes.

I like the idea of defunding cities that attempt to defund the police, but I'm not convinced freezing property taxes is the way to go - in Texas property taxes are so high that many property owners would resist 'unfreezing' them even after the police departments were fully funded.
CALIFORNIA IMPLODES: And redefines the meaning of 'pro-choice' (scroll to bottom for new definition).
GLENN REYNOLDS [INSTPUNDIT] tells us what he really thinks about Joe Biden. Go to the comments for a translation.
AS IF ANY IS NEEDED: More evidence that shutdowns are useless.
CORRECT: The election is about prosperity or collapse, not identity politics.
SUICIDE ... when you're tired of fighting the Borg.

Let Mike Adams rest in peace, but Trump must free us from the Left's chokehold on schools. It's time to let the money follow the student to the school of his/her choice.
