THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

Keep that in mind as the 2022 mid-terms approach.

PUNCHING BACK? Peter Thiel pours $10 million into super PAC backing likely J.D. Vance Senate bid in Ohio.

AL GORE: Biden has had the most consequential first 50 days since FDR.

Well, that may be true, but not in any positive sense.

WOKESTERS REJOICE! You too can receive a solicitation for 'BidenCare Health Insurance'.

It's in your spam folder....

THE LEFT'S WAR ON HISTORY: Cancel culture's next targets are George Washington and Abe Lincoln.

"Hate America First" should be -- or is -- their motto.

I SUGGEST ELBONIA: Meghan for President?

Prince Harry may already have a fur hat....

SPRINGTIME 2021, Week 2: We start this week not with the usual pond view picture, but with a reminder from last week, the little bush that had just started to bud out. Here it is today:

Now for the pond view. In the grand scheme of things, not much has changed. Some of the trees are showing interest in budding out, but very little is visible so far.

Finally the yard. Even with the help of the tractor, there's not much evidence of progress. Moving tons of dirt is slow and painstaking, and it looks like I'm going to have to find/buy more to get the barn's pad flat enough to install.

And the trees down the road don't seem interested (yet) that spring is here.

POWERLINE'S Week in Pictures is up. My favorite is easy this week:

Now we know why the National Guard is there.

And as a bonus, a reminder:

Now go as see the rest. And don't miss Titania McGrath; she has good advice for pet owners....

THE DIPLOMAD: Dreary times, part II.

Plus a bonus movie review.

SHOE EXPLAINS how taxes work.

SLAVERY 2021: Red is the new Black.

POWERLINE'S SHORT TAKES: “excessive whiteness,” Myles Leonard, and Vanita Gupta.

SCIENCE, POLITICS, AND COVID: Will truth prevail?

The short answer is probably not.

Much more here.

MICHIGAN GOV. GRETCHEN WHITMER goes to war with Canada.

She also may face criminal charges over her handling of deaths at nursing homes in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic.

BEING FUNNY IS NO DEFENSE if you're a conservative comedian.

LONGER, BUT WORTHY: Translating social justice newspeak.

GAY REPUBLICANS ARE WELCOME, establishment squishes are not.

YOU HAVE TO BE WOKE TO DRINK A COKE: Coca Cola demands that its law firms engage in unlawful discrimination. This after their "be less white" employee seminars.

I've been a loyal Coca Cola drinker for over 70 years. No more.
