BLUE WAVE? What blue wave?

BREAKING NEWS: DNA test shows Elizabeth Warren has a Native American heritage; the average European American likely has a stronger DNA heritage.

Heh.

I HAPPENED TO SEE in an impromptu President Trump press availability in Florida this morning. It was raining and he was holding his own umbrella. Remember our (thankfully) former President ...

... who had to have a Marine hold his?

IF ONLY: Roll, Red Tide. Day by Day is proving to be pretty adept at trolling the progressives....

AUTUMN LEAVES, INSTALLMENT V: It finally feels like fall in the north Georgia mountains, and it's finally beginning to look like it too. Here's the view from the deck:

Not a whole lot of difference from last week. The picture is brigher because the early morning fog is not around during late afternoon. Here's the fire pit:

Again, not a whole lot of obvious change, although you can see more brown in the background - and much more yard debris. Now, looking at the house from down the pond path:

The house itself (left center) is getting a bit more visible. Because the picture is darker, the browns are not a visible as they really are. The house will become more visible when (if) the leaves drop.

The pond is beginning to show real change, finally. I'd like to see last year's colors, but it seems to be green-then-drop this year.

This week I used the telephoto lens; you can now begin to see the stair rail leading up to the house. As with the pond view, the leaves seem to have adopted a green-then-drop philosophy.

And this week, an extra:

This is similar to the pond view above, but because I'm in the shade with the sun more-or-less behind my back the colors are much better.

Last week's pictures are here.

RANDOM THOUGHT: Calling progressive activists 'mobs' is to insult the Mafia - even they didn't stoop that low.

PAYBACK IS A BITCH: Trump bucks tradition, snubs DiFi, Kamala to tap three conservative judges for Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Dianne Feinstein isn't happy.

POLITICO: ‘Trump Anxiety Disorder’ is driving liberals crazy.

I loved Instapundit's lede: "To be fair, many of them were already close enough to walk."

IF YOU VOTED FOR TRUMP the climate is coming to get you.

THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY:

Beware the high cost of low living.

Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil: it has no point.

From the local church message board.

RANDOM THOUGHT: Can't we have a hurricane without all the media Chicken Littles coming out to squawk?

I LOVE IT when men are described as 'getting their panties in a bunch'. Although I'm not on Twitter, let me suggest a new hashtag: #NotMenEither

ANN COULTER points out the best part of being Richard 'Dick' Blumenthal.

AUTUMN LEAVES, INSTALLMENT IV: Finally, a tiny bit of color, though the most obvious sign of fall is fewer leaves. Here's the usual pond view from the deck:

Finally a touch of reddish, but the bigger difference is fewer leaves on the trees.

Again, not much color change, just fewer leaves. Note that the rock walkway has been finished.

The picture was taken a little higher up on the pond path than last week. The only difference is a tiny hint of color in some of the leaves.

Taken closer to the pond than last week, it's hard to tell any significant color change.

Likewise from the other side of the pond, though the sun angle makes it difficult to tell.

Here are last week's pictures for comparison.

CHELSEA MANNING – still delusional after all these years.

So, tell us what you really think....

LET US NOW praise Democrat party incompetence:

Can we send another bouquet of flowers to Harry Reid for starting the process of ending the filibuster for judicial nominees? Democrats did that for the purpose of packing the DC Circuit Court of Appeals (Kavanaugh’s current post) because they knew that a lot of Obama’s executive actions were vulnerable to challenge in that venue. Then, Democrats decided that they had to filibuster—for the first time ever for the Supreme Court—Neil Gorsuch’s nomination, even though he was replacing Scalia and wouldn’t have affected the ideological distribution of the Court at all. There were apparently some cooler heads among Democrats who thought they should not have forced the GOP to nuke the filibuster and kept it in reserve for the next nomination, which turned out to be . . . now. But they couldn’t help themselves, because Resistance!

Enjoy the rest.

QUESTION ASKED AND ANSWERED: Why the Brett Kavanaugh smear?

We should just steamroller over the Democrats and salt the earth underneath. Judging from Sen. Grassley's comments today, I'm thinking that's gonna happen.

HEH: What Democrat overreach looks like.

LOVE THOSE KAVANAUGH HEARINGS: Here's the (Trump) Presidential Approval Index as of this morning.

The solid lines are 6th order best fit polynomials. That high a fit level is not something useful for long-term trends, but they are very useful short-term estimates.

AMEN: "These kinds of stunts explain why I have come to regard Democrats with great contempt."
