THE CHICKENS HAVE COME HOME TO ROOST. Blue state delivers crippling blow to green energy development.

I HOPE HE'S RIGHT. If you think the Republicans have problems you should meet the Democrats.

NON SEQUITUR: The doors should be marked 'Republican' and 'Democrat'.

I'm sure you can figure out which is which.

WELL, THERE ARE PLENTY OF ROCKS: Gazans turn on Hamas as food shortage fuels disorder.

THAT HE CHEATS? What Republicans don't understand about how Biden really wins elections.

ON THE UPSIDE, we can lay off a bunch of CDC staff and replace them with machines: Artificial Intellience can easily generate large volumes of health-related disinformation.

And there is no downside since (a) it's unlikely to do worse than the CDC already has done, and
(b) 'public health' services have largely discredited themselves.

BUT THE STREETS ARE CLEAN. Czech journalists visiting San Francisco for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit robbed at gunpoint.

VETERANS DAY 2023: A reminder from our Medal of Honor winners.

[T]he values represented by the Medal of Honor and its recipients – courage and sacrifice, commitment and integrity, citizenship, and patriotism – serve as a reminder of all we still have in common, and of the need to follow in the footsteps of the generations before us.

Things today's younger generation seem to have forgotten ... or never learned in the first place.

VETERANS DAY 2023: For all who serve.

VETERANS DAY 2023

Thank you for serving.

FALLING LEAVES 2023, Episode 8. Well, it's another day late/dollar short Sunday and the final post of this year. We start with the usual pond from the deck and fire pit/barn views of our yard.

In both cases the transition to winter is complete. What leaves are left are no longer falling and will eventually either be blown down or replaced with new leaves when spring returns. The only green left is the pine trees which are evergreen.

These views are roughly north and south along our road. The only remaining splash of color is a little red along the road to the south; otherwise the taller trees are bereft of leaves and the lesser ones that have leaves yet to fall are all brown.

Finally looking east toward the adjoining ridge we see that the dogwoods are completely bare along the fence line - even the berries have dropped.

Until next year then....

BLUE CITY DEMOCRATS: You didn't really think they cared did you?

As you watch the ... indifference and, actually, animosity Democrats hold toward them, hope they connect the last few dots in their head and realize this indifference is not new; it’s policy. It is, in fact, “progressive” to make people dependent on the government and then control them through it. It was never a concern that motivated them; it was always their own grip on power. The voting loyalty amounts to nothing; a more numerous and desirous voting bloc is moving in. I mean, you didn’t really think Democrats cared, did you?

Well, they don't. All they care about is control.

ANOTHER BLUE STATE DISARMS ITSELF: Firearm manufacturer Smith & Wesson officially moved its headquarters from New England to Tennessee.

CATS ARE PERFECT: An evolutionary biologist explains why.

NO. NUKE IT FROM ORBIT. Abandon the swamp.

The only hope for the republic is to downgrade the place of Washington in our public life. The business of Washington is to make government bigger — forever. That is not what the people want.

Read it all.

SIGH: Newly amended California bill could punish parents refusing to ‘affirm’ child’s gender identity.

As a friend of mine many, many years ago once said: "We are sinking deep in sin ... Wheee."

CARPE DONKTUM ON TWITTER: "Your country has been stolen from you. Your government no longer even attempts to represent your interests at home or abroad. Your elected officials despise you, and they are systematically stripping you of your liberties one by one. Your justice system no longer functions,…"

Read the whole tweet.

WELL, IT'S GOING SOMEWHERE STRANGE. Is America going queer?

WRAP YOUR MIND AROUND THIS ONE: Man who thinks he's a woman is the Babylon Bee's Man of the Year.

SO I'M GOING TO HAVE TO PAY MORE because I'm not homeless?

BECAUSE HE CAN'T BITE THEM HIMSELF? Why does Joe Biden keep letting his dogs bite people?

IMPRIMIS: Inside the transgender empire.

It's not pretty.

DOES IRAN realize its own growing danger?

It's Victor Davis Hanson, so read it all.

WELL, YES: Has ObamaCare failed?

HE'S RIGHT: Academia needs to go extinct.

Let's help.

AND THEY ARE: First kill Hamas.

Like it or not, there are no innocents in Gaza.

NEW YORK POST: It's time to decolonize the campus.

By any means necessary....

THE PROGRESSIVE CLOWN SHOW continues.

Enjoy the laughs.

WHY THE GOVERNMENT IS $32 TRILLION IN DEBT: We lose a little on every sale but we make up for it in volume.

ISRAELI MUSIC FESTIVAL HOSTAGE IS FOUND - in pieces.

Which is why the rabid animals that constitute Hamas must be eradicated from the face of the Earth.

DEAR WORLD, I don't care.

I don’t care if you’re out on the street, waving your flag and chanting your slogans. We won’t die silently the way you want us to.

Neither do I.

BREAKING NEWS: Even flatworms are smarter than Biden voters.

NEW YORK POST: It's time to decolonize the campus.

By any means necessary. Preferably nonviolent....

RABID ANIMALS CAN'T BE CURED: Why it is our spiritual obligation to completely destroy Hamas.

They must be destroyed to prevent the disease from spreading (as it has on American college campuses).

SHE BETTER BUY PLENTYOF ROAD-MOUNTED DIESEL GENERATORS. Democrat New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham issued an executive order Monday requiring every state government agency to transition to an entirely electric vehicle fleet by 2035.

On the other hand citizens of New Mexico might be better off when the state government comes to a screeching halt....

THE FLYING NUN is real.

The full story is here.

TOUGH DECISION? Would you rather be governed by totalitarians or by fools?

Fools. They can be dealt with nonviolently. Totalitarians, not so much.

DEAL WITH IT: Savagery is the true nature of the world.

It's Kurt Schlichter, so read it all.

THE DAILY CHART: I suggest not investing in green energy....

NOT KOOKY, evil.

CALIFORNIA, the third world is coming for you.

Proof.

IF THEY DID THERE WOULD BE NO DEMOCRATS LEFT IN CONGRESS. Will Democrat voters finally purge their anti-semitic representatives in Congress?

But they won't.

I AGREE WITH INSTAPUNDIT: Slowly?
