KURT SCHLICHTER: Hollywood can’t (won’t) make awesome movies anymore.
Once upon a time, Normal people were Hollywood’s heroes, rebelling against the pompous windbags who wanted to keep them down. But that’s changed. Today’s elitists are those pompous windbags, and they are terrified by the rebellion of the people they desperately want to keep quiet and submissive. Hollywood doesn’t want to stir us up with entertainment that breaks the narrative. That’s why it serves us wimpy mush, cinematic Xoloft to lull us into dead-eyed passivity.Read it all.
MEMO TO MORNING JOE: America is not an idea.
Freedom is an idea, liberty is an idea, the United States of America is a country, with borders and laws, and a Constitution that is the greatest use of words ever put to paper by men.Socialism is an idea - and a stupid one at that.

“MADISON, MINNEAPOLIS, AUSTIN, PORTLAND, SAN FRANCISCO. These are America’s most progressive, forward-thinking, open-minded, and social-justice-focused cities. They also have the worst racial disparities in the nation and some of the worst racial segregation.”

KERRY ON TRUMP: “He has the maturity of an eight-year-old boy”.
And Kerry has the maturity of an eight-month old infant.

MICHAEL MOORE SAYS Hillary Clinton was the smartest person to ever run for President.
Far be it for me to challenge Moore's expert knowledge of Democrat politicians, but that's setting the bar so low a snake would have trouble slithering under it.

POWERLINE'S Week in Pictures has posted. My two favorites this week are hurricane related; first, the hurricane categories
and then some Progressive preventive measures.
But there are many, many more. Go see them.

SO WE'RE STUCK WITH THE UNIVERSE WE HAVE? “University of Chicago astronomers found no evidence for extra spatial dimensions to the universe based on the gravitational wave data.”
IT'S TIME to begin my annual Fall Foliage picture series. I thought I was beginning a bit earlier than usual this year, but I looked up last year's series, and it started on September 17th.
Here's the first image, our usual view from our outdoor deck. We've had some plants moved over the year, and a few trees removed. The two in the foreground on the right are both dead/dying, so they're to be removed as soon as we can get it scheduled. The pond is - as usual - almost obscured by the foliage, but it will soon become much more visible.
This photo is new from last year: looking toward the fire pit from the deck. The view is looking mostly north, with our 'street' (read gravel road) on the left side. The view is roughly the same as last year's pictures looking down the driveway.
Here's looking back at the house, taken roughly halfway down the path to the pond. That's the deck, facing off the back of the single carport. The house itself is mostly obscured by foliage - it'll gradually appear as fall rolls on.
Here's the pond, taken from the end of the path looking across the dock. The primary creek that feeds the pond is at the left; the secondary creek (mostly underground) is just right of center. There is another house in the picture, on the left side, but it's completely obscured by the trees. It will become (just barely) visible as fall progresses.
And finally, the dock and our (obscured) house, taken from the opposite side of the pond where the secondary creek feeds the pond.
As the weeks roll on, I'll continue taking pretty much the same 5 pictures, maybe moving a little to get somewhat better views through the foliage.
