KURT SCHLICHTER: Keep American troops the hell out of Haiti.

And keep Haitians the hell out of America....

COVIDIOCY REDUX: Confirmed again.

WELL, TRUMP IS THE MORE MODERATE CANDIDATE: Are the Democrats heading for an extinction-level election?

SATIRE HAS BECOME REALITY: The prophecies of Titania McGrath.

MAYBE THEY WILL STARTING JANUARY 21st 2025: Heads should roll.

WHO'D'VE THUNK IT? Our government spies on those who exercise their Second Amendment rights.

Always pay cash....

SHE DID, TOO: Unlikely ally Ruth Bader Ginsburg could save Trump $355M.

At least indirectly. Thanks, Ruth. You may have saved the Republic.

ALL THINGS HAVE LIMITS, except human stupidity and malevolence.

Republicans excel at stupidity; Democrats excel at malevolence.

Neither serves the American people....

AMERICA’S NEWSPAPER OF RECORD: Biden Condemns Jesus For Rising Again On Trans Day Of Visibility.

It would be funny if it weren't so damn disgusting. Progressives, you're dead to me.

IT'S NOT YOUR FATHER'S EASTER ANY MORE: Happy Transgender Day of Visibility.

On Transgender Day of Visibility, we honor the extraordinary courage and contributions of transgender Americans and reaffirm our Nation’s commitment to forming a more perfect Union — where all people are created equal and treated equally throughout their lives.

I am proud that my Administration has stood for justice from the start, working to ensure that the LGBTQI+ community can live openly, in safety, with dignity and respect. I am proud to have appointed transgender leaders to my Administration and to have ended the ban on transgender Americans serving openly in our military. I am proud to have signed historic Executive Orders that strengthen civil rights protections in housing, employment, health care, education, the justice system, and more. I am proud to have signed the Respect for Marriage Act into law, ensuring that every American can marry the person they love.

Transgender Americans are part of the fabric of our Nation. Whether serving their communities or in the military, raising families or running businesses, they help America thrive. They deserve, and are entitled to, the same rights and freedoms as every other American, including the most fundamental freedom to be their true selves. But extremists are proposing hundreds of hateful laws that target and terrify transgender kids and their families — silencing teachers; banning books; and even threatening parents, doctors, and nurses with prison for helping parents get care for their children. These bills attack our most basic American values: the freedom to be yourself, the freedom to make your own health care decisions, and even the right to raise your own child. It is no surprise that the bullying and discrimination that transgender Americans face is worsening our Nation’s mental health crisis, leading half of transgender youth to consider suicide in the past year. At the same time, an epidemic of violence against transgender women and girls, especially women and girls of color, continues to take too many lives. Let me be clear: All of these attacks are un-American and must end. No one should have to be brave just to be themselves.

At the same time, my Administration is working to stop the bullying and harassment of transgender children and their families. The Department of Justice has taken action to push back against extreme and un-American State laws targeting transgender youth and their families and the Department of Justice is partnering with law enforcement and community groups to combat hate and violence. My Administration is also providing dedicated emergency mental health support through our nationwide suicide and crisis lifeline — any LGBTQI+ young person in need can call “988” and press “3” to speak with a counselor trained to support them. We are making public services more accessible for transgender Americans, including with more inclusive passports and easier access to Social Security benefits. There is much more to do. I continue to call on the Congress to pass the Equality Act, to codify civil rights protections for all LGBTQI+ Americans.

Today, we send a message to all transgender Americans: You are loved. You are heard. You are understood. You belong. You are America, and my entire Administration and I have your back.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility. I call upon all Americans to join us in lifting up the lives and voices of transgender people throughout our Nation and to work toward eliminating violence and discrimination based on gender identity.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth day of March, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-eighth.

Pathetic is the least offensive word I could find.The entire Biden administration, all its functionaries and hangers-on should be told to "Get out, shut up, and never darken this door again."

We need more of this guy.

POWERLINE'S WEEK IN PICTURES: Build Back Better edition. My favorite:

There are bridge pictures, too. Go see them all.

IT'S 'SCIENCE': The "woke" are just trying to inflict their misery on everyone else.

Since they're miserable human beings, you must be too.

JUST LIMIT IT TO THE LEFT. The Left's new goal: degrowth.

BUT WE HAVE PLENTY OF OUTLETS: The coming electricity crisis.

RANDOM THOUGHT: Homosexuality is God's way of telling you that you shouldn't reproduce.

SURPRISED? Disparate impact thinking is destroying our civilization.

I'm not.

JAMES CARVILLE SHARES INCONVENIENT TRUTH ON 'PREACHY FEMALE DEMOCRATS,' AOC immediately proves his point.

Heh.

DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU IN THE BUTT: Sen. Lisa Murkowski [R?-AK] doesn’t rule out leaving Republican party.

THE BEST DESCRIPTION of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez I've ever seen: 'Terminally Obtuse'.

FINALLY SPRING, WEEK 3: Sorry, I goofed. Yesterday was Sunday, not today. I seem to be living in a time warp -- or warped time -- or both. That said, here is our intrepid forsythia, now in its green summer coat.

Next is our pond, as usual from the back deck. Much has changed over the week since we had a hard freeze midweek that killed all the blossoms on the tulip magnolia. Some of the blossoms may return, but the green leaves are already budding so by next week I expect the plant will be mostly green.

The last two pictures this week are of the trees across the road. There's a lot of bare there, but careful inspection of the tree tops shows that all are beginning to bud out. I'm hopeful for a lot of green to show up soon.

Until next week, then.

SUNDAY SMILES. Just keep scrolling down; the cartoons and animal videos are worth the trip.

LOOK WHOSE DISTRICT has become a third-world brothel and bazaar.

Well, they bought the pig, now they must sleep in the pigpen.

WELL, YES. Is the federal government sorting for stupidity?

I hate to say it, but Biden's 2021-2024 reminds of Cyril Kornbluth's 1951 novella Marchng Morons.

I almost approve of his solution. And the progressive Left is almost dumb enough to fall for it....

A NOT SO RANDOM THOUGHT: Our 'ruling class' consists of maleducated morons --
maleducated evil morons.

And that's being kind.

GOV. GAVIN NEWSOM [D-CA] canceled his 'State of the State' address, but Red State contributor Jennifer Van Laar found a copy of his transcript.

Ladies and Gentlemen of California,

As your somewhat bewildered Governor, I stand before you today to report on the, um, "flourishing" state of our great state, which is currently navigating through a fascinating series of adventures and, let’s say, "unexpected learning opportunities."

First off, the budget deficit - oh, what an exciting challenge! We've managed to craft a fiscal shortfall that's not just a hole, but a marvel of modern financial architecture. It’s like we aimed for the stars and hit our own foot, but fear not, for we are innovating new ways to spend money we don't have on things we're not sure we need.

Then, there’s our water saga. Who knew that rainwater could just... vanish? As we face droughts with the collective foresight of a startled goldfish, our attempts to capture and store water have been as effective as a sieve holding soup. Yet, I assure you, we’re making waves – or at least, trying to catch a few.

Wildfires and forest management, ah, an area where we've truly excelled in underachievement. Our forests are as well-managed as a toddler’s birthday party. But fear not, for we have plans. Plans that are as clear as smoke and as solid as ash.

And let's not forget the grand exodus of businesses and insurance companies. Why stay in California, the land of opportunity, when you can leave for... less fiery pastures? Our business-friendly policies are so avant-garde, even we can't understand them.

On housing, we’ve reached new heights - literally. The cost of living has soared to such celestial levels, we're considering colonizing Mars for affordable housing options. Our regulatory labyrinth makes building a house feel like a quest for the Holy Grail.

Crime has become our latest explosive growth industry, with innovative new felonies being pioneered every day. Our cities, once bustling hubs of commerce, now host open-air markets for the very latest in stolen goods, surrounded by the avant-garde architecture of tent cities.

Ah, homelessness, our most robust expansion program. Our streets are now adorned with the newest in urban camping chic, with exclusive open-air accommodations that even the most dedicated stores are relocating to avoid.

Insurance? A quaint concept we've practically reinvented, as companies sprint away faster than residents can say "premium hike." This has led to a thrilling new game of "find the insurer" for those daring enough to play.

Our healthcare system, a labyrinthine marvel, now offers an exhilarating challenge to access or navigate, providing a health quest for the modern age. Who needs appointments when you can enjoy the spontaneity of uncertainty?

And our pioneering electricity pricing strategy, where making $28,000 a year catapults you into the "newly rich" category, ready to shoulder the noble burden of ever-rising electric bills. It's our way of ensuring that light at the end of the tunnel remains just out of reach.

Then finally, drug crisis has unfolded with a certain poetic flair, transforming our parks into a mosaic of used needles—a testament to our innovative public health policies. As counties hand out needles like party favors, we embrace my wisdom that “we all need to self-medicate from time to time,” a mantra for the modern Californian spirit.

Thank you, and boy am I glad that I’m termed out! I feel horrible for the poor soul who has to take over for me after 2026!

Yes, it's satire -- but just barely.

MEDIA MALPRACTICE: The press held a pandemic in Florida, but the measles virus didn't reply.

CALIFORNIA CONTINUES ITS QUEST to push workers out-of-state.

Just when you thought the Democrat supermajority in California couldn't get any more delusional, lawmakers are now mandating utilities across the state to bill ratepayers based on how much they make—no matter how much electricity they use.

California must be governed by an Artificial Intelligence; not even human morons can be this stupid.

IMPRIMIS: An immigration crisis beyond imagining.

You can thank the Progressive Left, which is determined to turn the United States into a 'third-world shithole'.

FINALLY SPRING, WEEK 2: It's only been a week since I started, and changes are already visible. Here's our forsythia. Last week it was in full yellow bloom; this week the flowers are beginning to fade and the leaves are arriving.

The change is evident throughout the countryside; the Bartlett pears that were in full bloom just last week are also dropping blossoms and replacing them with leaves.

Here is our traditional pond view taken from the back deck:

The tulip magnolia is now in full flower; grass (such as it is) is beginning to show, and the low shrubbery (bottom right) is beginning to show some buds.

Not a lot has changed in the fire pit view. I've been hoping to see some grass, but I suspect that it will take tilling and reseeding to recover.

Our new flower garden to be has finally been flattened out, drained, and a few more iris planted. Next up is to plant flowers, but that might wait a while until planting season really gets underway.

Finally this week two views from down across the pond. The first is of the dam with the partially hidden house above it; the second picture is of the pond and fountain taken from roughly the same location. The still-cleared hillside is proof that the brush that normally populates the hillside is still struggling to work its way through the leaf cover.

Until next week....

WHY NOT JUST POST A 'STEAL THIS CAR' SIGN? Police advise residents to leave car keys outside to avoid confrontation with thieves.

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW about the Biden team.

GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES are living the luxe life. "The rest of us are just serfs on the government’s plantation."

HOW TOXIC IS DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION (DEI)? Companies are turning down billions in 'free money' to avoid it.

GREEN ENERGY: The renewable energy industry is a largely state and federal subsidy-based industry.

And subsidies are more reliable than the whims of the customers.

CHRISTINA PUSHAW explains the Buttigieg Principle.

[Christina Pushaw was formerly Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' press secretary.]

A HUNDRED BILLION HERE, A HUNDRED BILLION THERE ... "A billion dollars is hardly a rounding error in a federal program these days, and $1 billion is usually considered the entry fee for any proposed new program."

NUKE THE MOON: Russia and China announce plan to build shared nuclear reactor on the moon.

I thinl Frank J (IMAO) beat them to it....

WELL ... YES. Are all DEI officers bigots?

A BIT LATE, but Happy International Women's Day.

THE INTERNET OF THINGS is garbage.

BIDEN'S RED LINE: Robert Gates is smart; Joe Biden is not.

Robert Gates’s assessment of Biden’s foreign policy chops: “I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.” Gates made that assessment in 2014. It therefore predates Biden’s Afghanistan, Ukraine, Iran and other debacles. We can now revise Gates’s assessment to the past five decades.

And five decades is long enough....

SHE'S RIGHT: This guy actually scares the heck out of me.

AS A NEAR-80-YEAR-OLD MARRIED MALE, I thought Katie Britt's Republican response to the State of the Union address was spot on. And for many families, the kitchen table is where most of the really important decisions are made.

MORE here. And I'm pretty sure the criticism within won't resonate in my neck of the woods....

MY BET IS ON NETANYAHU: White House is trying to force Bibi out.

YES, MS. WILLIS, YOU ARE ON TRIAL – in the court of public opinion.

It may not mean jail time -- which you richly deserve -- but it will mean ostracism from the public sphere.

IT'S NOT JUST MR. TRUMP: Targetting Mr. 'X'.

FINALLY SPRING, WEEK 1: Last week's spring forsythia preview is proof this week that spring has finally sprung. Here's our forsythia this week, still in full bloom and the leaves just beginning to show.

Last week, while the forsythia was in full bloom, the Bartlett pear trees were mostly dormant; this week it seems every one in the county is in full bloom. Here are some from the county park where we walk:

Now on with the usuals. First, the pond from our back deck:

The trees are still bare, as expected, and for the most part the ground cover (i.e., brush) hasn't begun to poke through the leaves yet. I don't expect any change for at least a week, maybe two before any buds appear.

Here's the pond and its fountain. With the rain we've had, the pond is full -- overfull by about 2-3 inches. We haven't had water overflow the drain yet, but it's been close. Obviously it's past time for me to go down and make sure the overflow drains are staked down, sealed, and unclogged....

Here's the view from the opposite side of the pond. That's our house in the background and hopefully (a small one, actually) the leaves are dense enough to keep the brush in control as spring progresses.

Back up at the top, the daylilies that line our road are finally poking up through the mulch and leaves. There are also roses along the fence line behind this picture, but so far they're still dormant.

And finally, our house and barn taken from behind pine needles from across the road. The grass still looks kinda-sorta green, but it'll take more seed and some tilling to bring it back to last year's glory.

Until next week then....

CALIFORNIA CITY votes to ban all non-US flags on government property.

And it's inclusive; the Stars and Stripes protects all citizens.

THE CHICKENS HAVE COME TO ROOST: Post-postmodern America.

ADMIT YOUR PRIVILEGE and get 20% off?

Somehow I think they got that exactly backwards.

NOT IF, but when and how to replace Biden.

WE'D BE BETTER OFF IF THEY WERE JUST MORONS: Our government is run by evil morons.

WATCH FOR the strings.

FEEL GOOD STORY OF THE DAY: Even the Babylon Bee couldn't have made this one up.

THE STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS is tonight, so I thought I'd post this pre-SOTU:

It's taken from the Rasmussen Reports Approval Index history for the last three presidents. Each line starts with each President's initial inauguration and continues (in Biden's case) through today.

I'll wait until next Thursday and see how much effect, if any, today's State of the Union speech has had.

ANOTHER THE DAILY CHART: White House hypocrisy by the numbers.

In the'olden days' women would be home watching soap operas; now they're in the office making soap operas....

HEH: California man arrested for smuggling greenhouse gases into the United States.

What, air conditioning is more important than global warming? In California?

MORE VOTING FROM THE CEMETERY: Dianne Feinstein secured $1 billion in ‘pet projects’ — the year after her death.

THE FEDERALIST: Nine ways the Biden administration is using ‘Bidenbucks’ to rig the 2024 election.

While deceptively marketed as a heroic effort to enhance “American democracy,” Biden’s directive is far more partisan than the White House and regime-aligned media are willing to admit. The order instructed hundreds of federal agencies to interfere in the electoral process by using U.S. taxpayer money to boost voter registration and get-out-the-vote activities. More specifically, federal departments were told to collaborate with so-called “nonpartisan third-party organizations” that have been “approved” by the administration to supply “voter registration services on agency premises.”

You can safely bet that those 'nonpartisan third-party organizations' are all liberal fronts....

EXACTLY. Bring back our knobs.

I want a car that's safe -- not distracting -- to drive.

THE DAILY CHART: fake green.

RANDOM THOUGHT: Hillary Clinton needs to lay off the chardonnay.

BIDEN'S LATEST EFFORT gaslights the American people on food delivery fees.

But ... but the government will deliver your food for free. Until other peoples' money runs out....

THE GOP IS CHANGING and that's good.

THERE'S ONLY ONE TERRIFYING REASON for a woke indoctrinated military and this is it.

In the last several years, wokeness has come to infect our military just as it previously had our universities, news outlets, and the entertainment industry.

I’ve begun thinking of our postmodern military not as a useless Woke Force but as a Third World military: a force that isn’t any good at fighting foreign wars but is perfectly suited for putting down domestic undesirables.

Do I exaggerate? In 2021, Woke Army Sgt. Cindy Bronson had a message for her fellow Americans in case martial law is declared: “Understand that if active duty military actually get deployed within the United
States, that weapon is not just going to be pointed at other people, other countries, it’s pointed at you.”

I worry. So should you.

FLORIDA MAN FRIDAY now has a competitor in the Game of Dumb. Meet Alaska Man Monday.

BILL MAHER GOES SCORCHED EARTH OVER BIDEN’S AGE: ‘Walks like a toddler with a full diaper’.

NY congresscritter Jerry Nadler shows how.

POWERLINE WRITES on liberal fragility.

I enjoyed the final quote that 'there is likely before long to be an effort to screen out conservative applicants to elite laws schools so that they don’t have an Ivy League credential'. They needn't worry; our gentry liberals have already done a thoroughly professional job of destroying the credibility of the Ivy League.

AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH —- EVs emit more particulate matter than gas-powered vehicles.

But won't all that additional smog slow global warming, er, climate change?

'GOD HELP US ALL': Austin [TX] 'at the brink of disaster' as police shortages hit crisis level.

Because the Austin City Council certainly won't.

BEHIND THE BLACK: The growing resentment to unjustified authority.

What these volunteers discovered when they tried to tell people what to do was the growing anger and resentment in the general population to these petty rules as well as the control freak mentality of anyone associated with our government. The volunteers must have thought it was 2020 again, and they could boss people around by exerting an authority they did not have, and that when they did so everyone would meekly bow to their lordly authority. Instead, they discovered people are now pushing back, telling them essentially to go to hell.

The story provides some important cultural lessons. First, the public is sick of being bossed around. It won’t tolerate rules any longer that make no sense. And it will now tell these bossy control freaks so, in no uncertain terms.

There are a few people in my neck of the woods who need to learn this lesson.

COMMON SENSE THOUGHT CONTROL: Progressives are proof that common sense isn't.....

SPRING PREVIEW: It's spring now in the north Georgia mountains, and so I'll be starting my weekly Sunday pictures this coming Sunday, March 10. Here's a preview from our sturdy forsythia, which began to bloom only a week ago:

The dogwoods seem to be perking up, too. The berries have already come and gone, so I'm hoping for blossoms iin the fairly new future.

Doritos brings 'Bud Light treatment' talk with transgender hire.

The progressive Left never learns....

UPDATE: They're learning. Or at least Doritos is learning.

IF YOU CAN’T WIN, CHEAT; if you can’t cheat, cheat harder.

BUT ONLY IF YOU'RE BLACK. Shoplifting is just reparations.

Is it still reparations if I identify as black?

I WOULDN'T HAVE THOUGHT IT POSSIBLE. California is about to get even worse.

TOO SOON? Introducing the lighter side of self-immolation. "I have to laugh because there isn't any room left in my dark little heart for the enemies of Western Civilization."

Agreed.

GOOGLE HAS REALLY STEPPED IN IT. The “diversity guidelines” for its Gemini AI basically exterminated white people from its representation.

In my world (and yes, I'm an engineer) it's long been assumed that no machine can be smarter than its developer. Taking that as a given, it's patently obvious that the Gemini AI developers are at best woke Googlidiots.

SEN. J. D. VANCE [R-OH]: There's an 'impeachment bomb' against Trump buried in the Ukraine funding bill.

Hopefully it won't pass the House of Representatives

THEY'RE CERTAINLY TRYING TO PREVENT HIM: Will the Democrats let Donald Trump be president if he wins?

Just don’t put it beyond possibility that they [Democrats] will not allow a peaceful transfer of power to Donald Trump. These people are not committed to democracy. They don’t care about freedom. They care about power, so much so that they allow a desiccated old husk to be the guy with his quivering finger hovering over the big red button.

Keep that in mind. Vote early and in overwhelming numbers.

TO SAVE GAIA: You little people need to die.

CPAC POLL: Newsmax is 'most trusted' in cable news.

Like many of our friends and neighbors, my wife and I have pretty much shifted to Newsmax over Fox News. I still watch Fox Business for financial news, and I think Fox News does better at selecting stories of interest to me, but their insistence on requiring me to give them my email before I can read breaking news stories has been a dealbreaker.

Goodbye Fox News.

I DON'T TRUST GOOGLE: Gemini is why I'm leaving.

For anyone with a shred of awareness of human history it should be clear how unbelievably irresponsible it is to build a system that aims to become an authoritative compendium of human knowledge but which actually prioritizes ideology over facts.

I left several years back.

CODDLED TO DEATH: Mental illness, illegal aliens and the Democrat party.

TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR DEMOCRATS TO CHEAT: Attorney General Merrick Garland pledges to fight voter ID laws and election integrity measures.

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE doesn't need to parody the Biden White House because they do it themselves.

So the Babylon Bee is now a 'straight news' website. Its tagline ought to be "News Before It Happens".

FROM POWERLINE'S Week in Pictures here's my favorite:

But there are many more. Go see them.

OUR 51ST STATE WILL BE MEXICO: Joe Biden campaigned on dismantling the southern border.

The Democrats gave up on D.C. because while they'd get two Senators, they'd only get one Representative.

SHORT TAKES from Susie Moore.

BLUE LAWS FOR RED CITIZENS won't work.

But Red laws for Blue citizens will, as the Left will soon find out after President Trump is reelected.

FIREFIGHTERS AREN'T STUPID. DEI training suspended after telling firefighters white staff caused racial harm.

My daughter is one....

MY VOTE IS FOR KRISTI NOEM: Trump's VP list?

But Tulsi Gabbard is a strong candidate as well.

IT'S A BIT COLD THERE.... Finland to open 300 shooting ranges to boost interest in national defence.

.... but an option when the shit hits the fan in the USA.

'DYSFUNCTIONAL' IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT: America's dysfunctional overclass.

RACISM, RACISM EVERYWHERE – except against white people.

That said, I'm carrying again and my local gun store is about to get a few more cash purchases.

HOT AIR: Oregon is suffering from a case of federal wind burn.

Coal-fired, natural gas, and nuclear power plants keep you warm at night; government-sponsored hot air just makes you feel warm and fuzzy.

Second thoughts, Oregon?

THE DEMOCRATS' CHICKENS ARE COMING HOME TO ROOST: The class divide.

To see where this is leading I highly recommend Kurt Schlichter's People's Republic.

THE EXPLOSION SHOULD BE AWESOME! Something tells me CNN is going the way of the Hindenburg.

DEMOCRACY DIED IN DARKNESS: Washington Post columnist claims crime is just a 'moral panic' and OK because the US is 'stolen land'.

I don't know why she's so concerned -- she obviously lives behind locked doors herself.

A TIME FOR CONSEQUENCES: The "Cabal" who bragged about rigging the 2020 election stuck us with an incapable president at a time of crisis.

Examples need to be made. And Donald John Trump is the perfect man to do it. The next 4 years should be 'interesting'.

CHESTERTON'S FENCE is good advice: "Do not remove a fence until you know why it was put up in the first place."

RANDOM THOUGHT: After 3-1/2 years of the Biden administration, DEI should rightfully be redefined as Diversity, Equity, Incompetence.

I've thought of two more I-words that might fit -- idiocy and ignorance -- but even idiots can be competent at some tasks and ignorance is at least somewhat addressable.

IT WOKE UP AND WENT HOME? The world’s largest meteorite seemed to vanish in 1916. Why can’t we find it?

AMMO GRRRLL: Pour yourself a mocktail and read on.

CNN must have hired Captain Obvious...

THE DEMOCRATS are not going to replace Biden as their presidential candidate.

Today, the Democrats have created an alternate reality where Joe Biden is just fine with no worries about his mental state. I have a feeling that, before this race is over, we're all going to want to retreat into an alternate reality to avoid the harsh judgment of history that will not be kind to us,

Nuts. There will be some sort of backroom deal to 25th him and replace him at the DNC convention. My bet is to replace him with John Kerry.

HIS FIRST STEP TO RESIGNING FOR HEALTH REASONS? Biden says he's making unannounced visit to Walter Reed for physical exam.

Nice thought, but probably not.

MICHAEL BARONE: Toward a demotic Republican party.

Look up 'demotic'; it's not a bad thing.

INSTAPUNDIT ON SUBSTACK: The power of old men. Old men are dying off and and 'woke' history is busily erasing their memories. America's future is looking grim.

RANDOM THOUGHT: Is it just me or are television commercials and online advertising getting stupider by the day?

AMAZING PHOTOS: Saturn's moons have to be seen to be believed.

SORRY, D.C., too many Americans remember.

This was originally written on Independence Day. As Election Day approaches, it's vital for Americans to remember once again.

WE CAN ONLY HOPE: Is the sleeping conservative dragon finally waking up?

It's Victor Davis Hanson, so read the whole article.

THE ONLY SHOCK IS THAT IT ISN'T 100%: NY Times poll shock: 73 percent say Biden 'too old' for Presidency.

[CORRECTED]: IRS says it will pursue [Republican] high-income earners who failed to file tax returns.

I should have struck out 'high-income' as well....

RANDOM THOUGHT: Progressives and Democrats believe in freedom. They believe that they should be free to do whatever they want and you should be free to do whatever they want as well.

FAKE NEWS YOU CAN TRUST: Insane Christian nationalists believe rights come from God and not the government,

It used to be that the Babylon Bee was a satire site.

A PRIORITY FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP: Rethinking civil service.

WHEN THE GOVERNMENT GROWS, THE PRIVATE SECTOR SLOWS: McJobs or GovJobs?

FOOLS RUSH IN WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD: How dumb are these people?
