POWERLINE'S Geek in Pictures. Some good ones from all over geekdom.

I especially liked the 'We're number one!' charts although to be honest, too many are a bit depressing.

IT WORKED FOR ME: The effects of Vitamin D and COVID-related outcomes.

That plus zinc.

UNDER THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, the gentry class is thriving.

The rest of us, not so much....

INSTAPUNDIT: The war on parents. The Left doesn't like disobedient children parents.

And parents don't like disobedient 'educrats'. I fear it's going to get worse before it improves....

NBC NEWS HAMMERED for declaring parents aren’t qualified to make decisions about school curricula.

Not hard enough. Not nearly hard enough.

DISOBEDIENT VOTERS AREN'T OBEYING OUR DIKTATS: The White House sees you as the problem, and themselves as victims.

RITTENHOUSE WAS RIGHTLY AND CORRECTLY AQUITTED, but free states must defend the right to self-defense.

I REMEMBER HAVING THE MISFORTUNE to see some of the Rittenhouse prosecutor's closing argument: Rittenhouse should have laid down his rifle and confronted his aggressor with fists. He may have been beaten up, but no one would have died, right?

Right?

"I'm gonna beat you senseless but it probably won't kill you" is okay. That prosecutor is an idiot.

HAVEN'T WE TOLD YOU BEFORE THAT MANDATES ARE JUST FOR LITTLE PEOPLE? Snapchat shows UW-Madison chancellor indoors without wearing mask in violation of COVID mandate.

And Fauci. Of course Fauci....

GET 'EM STARTED EARLY: NYC may let 800K non-citizens vote in elections.

You know where this is going, right?

DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU IN THE BUTT AS YOU WALK OUT: Never Trumpers Jonah Goldberg, Stephen Hayes quit Fox News in protest of Tucker Carlson’s January 6 documentary.

THE CEMETARY VOTE IS PRETTY LARGE: Biden "reassured" Democrats that he's running in 2024.

Updated.

HEY, I WANT TO BUY YOUR HOUSE: Homeowners besieged by unsolicited offers.

Pony up a million five, cash, small bills, unmarked, random serial numbers and I might consider it.

FALLING LEAVES 2021, Week 11:

Well, it's almost over this year. Next week I'll quit this series. Here's the usual pond view, and now even the tulip magnolia has given up for the year, and there's been enough wind to take the remaining leaves down.

Here's our house, the picture taken from halfway down the path to the pond. The path was so clogged with leaves that it was difficult to see it, and the few stair steps we have along the path were completely obscured. In the summer the house would be completely obscured by the foliage (which is today inches deep on the ground.

Now down at the pond for a view of the fountain. The ridge line you can see is the road through our subdivision. In summer it isn't visible from the pond.

Now back up along the road looking at our home. The yard, such as it is, is an inch or more deep in fallen leaves. All the green is from the pine trees; all the others are bare.

Finally, a look south down the road from our driveway. It's not that cold (yet) but winter has clearly begun.

Until next week, then.

WHY VACCINE MANDATES? To sell booster shots.

Last month, I couldn’t help but notice that the pharmaceutical companies pushing these vaccines and now booster shots stood to make a lot of money from all of this. This vaccine gold rush created nine new billionaires, all with connections to big pharma companies. With the booster shot craze just around the corner, companies were scrambling to get FDA approval.

We have to ask who else is getting money for all of these pushes for a vaccine that stops nothing, and against a virus that has an ultra-low fatality rate. Moreover, it’s interesting that the CDC is changing up definitions and now Dr? Fauci is openly admitting that the vaccines just aren’t enough.

Some people are hearing medical advice, but all I’m hearing is the sound of cash registers.

They don't give a damn about us -- we're just cogs in their money machine.

FROM THE ATLANTIC: Welcome to the age of lawless masculinity.

Um, remind me again when Bill Clinton, Andrew Cuomo, Chris Cuomo, Jeffrey Epstein, Bill Cosby, Matt Lauer, Harvey Weinstein, et al. all became Republicans....

SEEN IN ANOTHER POST on the Rittenhouse trial verdict.

Colin Kaepernick responded to the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict in a tweet on Friday, stating that "this only further validates the need to abolish our current system."

The former NFL player also said that the not guilty verdict validates "the terroristic acts of a white supremacist."

"We just witnessed a system built on white supremacy validate the terroristic acts of a white supremacist," Kaepernick tweeted.

Kaepernick is an idiot who failed his moron exam.

IF IT'S ON THE SHELF, it's the right toy.

The link is actually just a WalMart ad, but with the COVID pandemic and supply chain bollixed, the lede just felt right....

NOW WE KNOW WHY THERE'VE BEEN NO RIOTS: Antifa forced to postpone riot as brick supply still stuck on cargo ship.

OR EVER: You might not be ‘fully vaccinated’ soon.

Is it 'ever' yet?
