SOME THOUGHTS FROM THE MAY 24TH PRIMARIES:

GOV. RON DESANTIS: the big winner from Tuesday's mid-term primaries?

I -- along with many others -- agree that Trump lost because the election was stolen (and remain pissed off), but it is time to move on and punish the miscreants after the 2024 election by banishing them forever from the public eye.

AFTER THE DELUGE: Takeaways from Georgia's primaries.

If these are any indicators, the Democrats will be in real (and well deserved) trouble after the November mid-term election.

A REMINDER for progressive immigrants.

And they're not teddy bears either....

TAKING OUT THE TRASH: What we get wrong about recycling.

On the brighter side, commenter David Lundeen: "I found a benefit to recycling. Here in the mountains we have to take our trash to the dump and are charged by the pound. Except recycling stuff is free."

It's true where we live, too.

FLASHBACK 30 YEARS: Guns were in schools ... and nothing happened. Same for me -- all the way back in 1960. Except that we weren't lucky enough to have an on-campus gun club/range.

THE FIRST MEMORIAL DAY for new Gold Star families.

MEMORIAL DAY 2022: Remembrance in peace.

THEN AND NOW: Thoughts For Memorial Day 2022.

Will the old Memorial Day come back? I'm hopeful but not sanguine.

Still, I flew my flag at full mast. So did my neighbor.

TIME MAGAZINE had his name right the first time....

The only state that deserves O'Rourke as governor is in Mexico (not New Mexico).

MICHAEL RAMIREZ: 'Top Gun' returns.

BECAUSE BEGGARS DON'T GET TO CHOOSE: Why Team Biden might be purposefully grinding down the middle class.

MODERN JOURNALISM: Prostitutes Or Partisan Hacks?

Isn't 'and' available?

THE U.S. ECONOMY shrank by 1.5% in the first quarter of 2022. And my personal economy (savings) tanked 5.74% in the same period.

I AGREE: Cancel early voting.

ILLINOIS GAS STATION OWNERS sue over being forced to post Democrat propaganda.

In lieu of a federal 'Ministry of Truth', Illinois is requiring private businesses to publish its disinformation.

A CHINK IN THE ARMOR of the progressive administrative state.

KURT SCHLICHTER on the progressives' war with Elon Musk: "My money literally remains on Musk."

SUNLIGHT DISINFECTS: State Farm parts way with transgender advocacy group.

"Corporate social responsibility" is nothing more than a way for woke corporate CEO's to support progressive grift with your money. Avoid those corporations like the plague.

NO COOKIES, EITHER: Bedtime for Beto.

Beto O'Rourke is living, breathing proof that Texas should never have closed its insane asylums.

THE ORIGIN of the monkeypox 'pan(ic)demic'.

Apparently 'donkeypox' didn't poll so well ....

It's PowerLine's mid-Week in Pictures. Go see them all.

ONLY IF THEY USE 'WOKE' MATH: Can California really achieve 85% carbon-free electricity by 2030?

And steal electricity from the adjoining states; both of which they'll do.
