WHICH WAY IS THE [LIBERAL]WIND BLOWING TODAY? Hey, remember in 2008, when McCain was Hitler?

BUT OF COURSE the New York Times embarrasses itself (again):

On Tuesday, the Times breathlessly reported that Secretary of State Pompeo was absent from Washington when Trump announced he was pulling the U.S. out of the nuclear deal with Iran. “At a Key Moment, Trump’s Top Diplomat Is Again Thousands of Miles Away,” the headline harumphed.

But the Times knew that Pompeo was heading to North Korea to make sure that three Americans who had been jailed by the dictatorship would be coming home.

The hate is strong at the New York Times.

HMM: Did the FBI engage in outright spying against the 2016 Trump campaign?

It's beginning to look like the swamp is 'swampier' than we thought....

[Update] More here.

SPRING LEAVES, POST #5: Another week, another dramatic difference. The forest has gone full green as the taller trees have now gone from bud to leaf.

Here's the pond, which is now mostly hidden from our deck.

And now the house, which is getting more and more hidden. The tree canopy is now beginning to arch over the road, making it more of a tunnel than road. It would be much more so had I not taken a number of trees out last year.

Here's last week for comparison.

CELEBRITY IDIOTS: This week’s Albert Gore Jr. Award for Brazen Achievement in Eco-Hypocrisy goes to ... Katy Perry.

AMMO GRRRLL: If the Democrats can file a 'Losing Loser Lawsuit', so can I.

COAL WORKS: Japan does the math.

MUELLER INDICTS A HAM SANDWICH; sandwich bites back.

GENIUS! NY Democrat aims to stop ‘promoting gun culture’ by banning archery in schools.

“MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” does to Maxine Waters what “buffet’s closed, buddy” does to Michael Moore: trigger an outburst of the highest degree.

I WANT TO KNOW, TOO: Who is paying Stormy Daniels' lawyer Michael Avenatti?

AND EMBARRASSES HIMSELF (AGAIN): Washngton Post columnist Dana Milbank rages against Tom Cotton.

THE FOLLY OF EXPERTS:

I know we are supposed to hate populism and feelings and bow to “evidence” and the experts that expound them but right across the board from Climate Change experts, to FBI/DOJ crack investigators, to political strategists who have gotten almost everything wrong it honestly is very difficult to treat these experts seriously.

It's better to keep your eyes open and common sense intact than to trust the 'experts' on anything.

AND EMBARRASSES HIMSELF (AGAIN): Dana Milbank rages against Tom Cotton.

OBVIOUSLY NOT. Is there room in 'diversity' for white people?

POWERLINE'S Week In Pictures has so many good ones this week I couldn't choose just one. My top two:

And for breaking news:

Now go enjoy the rest.

THAT BASKET OF DEPLORABLES is getting awfully crowded.

PRESIDENT TRUMP'S PICK OF SARAH SANDERS for Press Secretary was a stroke of genius. Her takedown of the pompous potentates of the previous administration (and their lackeys in the mainstream media) was a thing of beauty.

GIANT BOOBS TRUMP NEWSWORTHINESS as media dances with the (porn) stars.

I'm not sure whether 'giant boobs' refer to Stormy Daniels or the mainstream media.

DICK'S GOT 'WOKE', is going to go broke.
