SOCIALISM: If you build it, they will leave.

Heh.
NADLER AND SCHIFF SHOULD BE PLEASED: Attorney General Barr assigns US attorney to look into government surveillance involving Trump campaign.
WORK HARD, play by the rules, and be hated by liberals. They hate you, because you're free.

Here's a thought: name one - just one - Democrat policy, position or promise that increases either your prosperity or your liberty.

If you can, then vote Democrat.
THAT'S WHAT YOU GET when your state chooses to export pollution: California may go dark this summer.

Rather than import massive amounts of electricity, they should have build local power plants. Now it's time to pay the piper.
POWERLINE'S Nadlering Nabob of Nihilism edition of its Week in Pictures is up. Here's my favorite this week:


Now go see the rest.

HILLARY: It's her turn.
[E]ven people deep in the Democrat establishment look at that field and think, "they're all morons and I could do better."

SPRING LIVES, Episode 8 (the Final Edition)

Spring has finally 'sprang', in all it's glory. This week has been interesting in that we've just had over 4" of rain in less than a day, and our pond shows it. Here's the usual starting view from our deck:


Two changes from last week: first, the tree canopy has filled in so the ridge line across the pond is barely visible; and second, the pond itself is very murky from all the the sediment that has washed in from the rain.


The view of the fire pit hasn't changed much from last week. A bit more green perhaps, but that's about it. I'm somewhat surprised that there hasn't been much erosion, but the leaf bed throughout the forest we have is so thick that the water can't move that fast. There has been some erosion on the path further down to the pond, but the mulch that remains and the general 'windiness' of the path itself has kept that to a minimum.


The house looks pretty much the same, a little darker perhaps as the leaves begin to turn to their normal color.


Two pond views this week. This first one is of the dock/dam area, showing how dramatically the water has risen from the rain. It's about 8" higher than normal - that dark band to the right of the dock along the dam is where the water is above the normal vegetation that grows to the water's edge. The water is now brown from all the sediment that has washed in; it'll take a week or so before it sinks to the bottom and the pond returns to its normal green color.


Here's the more normal view taken from across the pond. I backed off a ways from the usual view to show that the shoreline on that side is now more swamp than shore. It's actually more than a foot above the water level, but the ground is so saturated that the water has no place to go.


Our pond is actually spring-fed, and the water table is so high right now that the spring that feeds it is 'poking through' into a number of what are normally dry creeks. This is one of them.

As Porky Pig would say, "Th - tha - that's all, folks". At least for now. See you again in the fall.
PROGRESSIVES: We have a track record.

Yes. Yes, you do.

'QUEER FEMINIST MERMAID' DEMOCRAT aims for Senate seat of Maine's Susan Collins.

Why am I not surprised....
"I’M SURE THE CITIZENS of his [Brian Sims] district are oh-so-proud that they elected a jackass to represent them."
PEGGY GRANDE: Three lies the left needs to stop telling.
In Hans Christian Andersen’s fable “The Emperor’s New Clothes," the emperor, in his pride and arrogance, was conned by imposter tailors to believe he was wearing an elegant, ornate, finely tailored suit, when, in actuality, he was wearing nothing.

While it’s easy to mock the foolishness of the emperor, the real tragedy in the story was his subjects, who loyally lined the street to see him parade by in his new “suit," applauding and cheering as if he was in his finest royal regalia. They were told only fools would not be able to see his new clothes, and so, afraid of being labeled as fools, they pretended they saw his finery. When instead they saw nothing. (Well, actually, they saw everything!)

Similarly, the parade of Democratic politics is finally being exposed for what it is – a pompous, yet empty display of purported finery, which has been largely applauded and accepted by those who refuse to see that much of what they believe is based in bias not fact. Yet now the Democratic “emperors” are finally being seen as wearing nothing but empty promises and piety. And it is long overdue.
Now go read about the three lies.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT OUR GOVERNING ELITE:


Everything....
FOR LIBERALS, EVERYTHING IS ABOUT INTERSECTIONAL VICTIMOLOGY: Media becomes race-obsessed over Royal baby.

He's just a baby, for Christ's sake....
METHINKS HE DOTH PROTEST TOO MUCH: Comey mocks departing deputy AG for thinking 'the country needs me'.

Former FBI Director James Comey's clearly getting worried about being fitted for an orange jumpsuit....

RACE-BAITING AIN’T WHAT IT USED TO BE. Here's why.

Democrats are busily preparing for another loss....
CONTEMPT OF 'CLOWN'GRESS: Clowns vote to hold Barr in contempt.
