TECHNOLOGY just accelerates stupid.

It would be nice if it accelerated smart, but that's wishful thinking....

RANDOM THOUGHT on how the Democrats think: 'We think we think so you won't have to think we think.'

Yes, it's silly, but in demospeak it's called 'nuance'.

WE'RE NOT GONNA DO ANY REAL WORK so let's hold hearings on UFOs.

WHATEVER THAT IS: Michelle Obama is a 'womxn'.

I wonder if Barack knows....

HOUSE SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI [D(umb)-CA] suggests COVID death toll would be
worse than 1 million without Biden in office.

Um, Biden is in office and the COVID death toll as of tonight is 1,026,802.

SPRINGTIME 2022, Week 11: We start this week with our old friend the forsythia, which had bloomed, almost died in the freeze, and has now fully recovered. Note, too, that the trees along the street are now (finally!) full of leaves.

Now on the usual deck and fire pit views:

Here's that dogwood tree that I feared was dead. Even as late as last week you could easily make out the trees behind it; today it's green and filling in rapidly.

The trees along the pond are now completely full, so much so that it's essentially a rain forest below the canopy. Our stairway is barely visible, and the house almost completely obscured. In only one week!

And finally, more spring flowers....

Until next week then, which will be the final post of this series.

AMMO GRRRLL applies for a job.

BERNIE SANDERS: It's time for Medicare for All.

Let's test it out on him....

TWITTER WILL BE A HAPPIER PLACE. Elon Musk announces he will lift Trump's Twitter ban and Leftists stampede for the exits.

If only they really would....

MISINFORMATION IS THEIR 'COIN OF THE REALM': More evidence the Biden administration does not care about misinformation. Except when it's to their advantage.

FOX PAWS (FAUX PAS): The Biden administration in short. Comments on the SCOTUS decision leak, abortion generally, the 'Disinformation Governance Board', and government lies.

One final personal thought. It seems to me that the purpose of the so-called Disinformation Governance Board is not to combat 'disinformation' on the internet, but instead is to deliberately create, coordinate, and distribute government lies on the internet.

Now go read it all.

FRIGHTENING:

Your Biden administration at work....

MALLARD FILLMORE: Now that's frightening....

THE NEW YORK TIMES has enlisted South African history in its all-out war on Elon Musk.

THE DIPLOMAD has thoughts about Madrid (it was a nice place when I was there 50 years ago) and the Democrats' all-out war on children.

SAY WHAT??

Umm, so not killing a baby still in the womb kills those already born? I think these people (to use the term loosely) have a sanity problem....

AMMO GRRRLL has thoughts about Mother's Day.

QUICK! WE NEED TO EXPORT MORE POLLUTION TO THE RED STATES: California officials warn of possible (read as probable) electricity shortages this summer.

POWERLINE has more Loose Ends to discuss. My favorites are (obviously) the 'wokeness' failures.

SPRINGTIME 2022, Week 10: Finally, the green is coming back! Here are my two usual views of the pond and fire pit. Like last week it's a gray and cloudy day, but the leaves are bright green and filling out rapidly. The ground cover is popping up all over and growing so fast that by next week the hill we live on will be all green.

Even the dogwood tree I feared was dead seems to be slowly -- ever so slowly -- recovering. It's hard to see in this picture, but the buds have begun to open. Perhaps by next week we'll see some flowers and/or leaves begin to show.

Here's a view of the pond. The green is dramatic from just last week. There's still a little bit of fleshing out (top left) to come in the hardwoods, but that's about it. Our house at the top of the stair is now just barely visible. We still have a view of the pond, since from our porch it's below the tree canopy but from down on the pond it's hardly visible.

The final colors at the pond. I don't know what the tree/bush is, but it flowered last week in brilliant orange. Unfortunately it didn't last and the flowers are already dropping off. There were several such in the dense growth that is on the back side of the pond

Until next week....
