A CAMPAIGN OF DELIBERATE INTIMIDATION: Democrats are threatening to remove security funding for Supreme Court.

Read the whole thing, including all the links. As Instapundit correctly noted, the Democrats aren't even thinking about making indimidation deniable, they're being outright threatening. Don't let them.

Congress should use its power of the purse to remove all security fromall Deep State administrative agencies. Let them fly steerage, and drive EVs....

COMRADE BERNIE [SANDERS] wants government to steal all the money you make over this amount.

As usual Bernie picks a number above the amount he has plans to 'earn'. This time, however, he is unusually optimistic about his earning potential....

On a somewhat related note (see tweet), Indian Business Gurus had this thought in the comments:

Funny thing about income tax is that billionaires hardly have any income. Majority take low salaries, have most of their wealth in stock and borrow against their shares to fund their lifestyles.

Which, I think, is largely true. Wealth isn't taxable (yet), and interest paid (with limits) is deductable.

DETROIT CONSIDERS making downtown a gun-free zone.

Legal guns, that is; illegal ones, not so much.

ANDREW F. PUZDER: The Biden economy and how it could be fixed.

It's not just the illegals (see below) who are better off under the Biden administration; it's our very own legal wastrels. Click the link to see.

AN EXCELLENT QUESTION: "What is citizenship worth if you can get better benefits by being illegally here?"

SPRING 2023, WEEK 10: Surprisingly, while this year has been much more volatile, we're still pretty much on track compared to previous years. Here's today's view of the pond from our back deck.

The only real difference from last week is that the greens are 'greener' as the leaves in the upper reaches of the trees are filling in. As is the ground cover which has most emphatically sprung.

It's much the same with the view of the firepit and barn area. The upper reaches of the trees are filling in fast, and new growth has finally pushed out the dead leaves from the tree next to the fire pit.

Finally, topside the gap across the road from our driveway has begun to fill in. We're planning for some shrubbery/flowers in the flat area so the backup cameras on our cars will have something to see when turning into the road....

Meanwhile, down at the pond everything has filled in and greened up. I'm hopeful that we'll still have some blossoms as we did last year, but that little project seems to be held up. The grass on the dam is going gangbusters, though; it's time soon to take the lawn mower down.

Finally finally here's a view of the house from down below showing the need for stair maintenance, brush cutting, and mowing around the perimeter of the pond.

Next week, then.

NOT WITH MY NICKEL, THEY'RE NOT: Reparations panel approves huge payments for qualifying Black residents in California.

DOESN'T IT HAVE SOMETHING BETTER TO DO WITH IT'S TIME? Pro-trans activist delivers blood curdling scream at San Francisco Board of Supervisors meeting.

On the other hand, it's San Francisco....

SEN.JOHN KENNEDY [R-LA]: Permit me to tell you what i believe.

I believe America was founded by geniuses but is now run by idiots.

I believe you can’t fix stupid, but you can vote them out of office.

When was the last time you heard of anyone trying to sneak into China?

America is so great that people who hate it, refuse to leave.

Let me say something about the Biden administration, the Biden administration sucks.

I believe exercise makes you look better naked. but so does alcohol.

Welfare should be a bridge, not a parking lot.

Weakness invites the wolves.

We must arm for peace.

We don’t have a gun control problem. we have an idiot control problem.

Free advice friends, if government tells you not to buy a gun, buy two.

I believe if you hate police officers, the next time you are in trouble, call a crack-head.

Here’s a free tip, cops will leave you alone if you don't do stupid things.

I believe we need an election day, not an election month.

I believe you should be able to prove who you say you are when you vote.

I believe 400,000 bodies buried at Arlington National Cemetery are the reason you should stand for the National Anthem.

I believe the water won’t clear till you get the pigs out of the creek.

I believe love is the answer, but you should own a gun, just in case.

From my email.
