ELON MUSK BUYS TWITTER; academia hardest hit.

CANADA TO BUILD BORDER WALL, demand Twitter pay for it.

Amusing, but baloney; Trudeau will welcome the Twits with open arms.

SOME LOOSE ENDS from PowerLine. The second item, on inflation, is particularly amusing. It should be standalone, properly titled "Women Left Hanging".

GOOD RIDDANCE: Weather Underground radical Kathy Boudin dead at 78.

THE COMPLEAT ENGINEER'S TOOLBOX:

I have both in mine....

SPRINGTIME 2022, Week 9: Only four pictures this week (I've been busy, and the weather today wasn't great for picture taking).

Here are my usuals - the pond and fire pit views. Though it's a bit more dismal due to the overcast, there has clearly been a lot of growth over the week. The sky, which was still mostly clear last week, is now being concealed by the leaves starting to bud out. Not a lot of green (except for pollen) yet, but it's coming.

The fire pit view is similar. To the right, leaves are showing and hiding the sky; on the left, the trees are still shy, beginning to bud but not yet leafing out.

Here's a view of our road, looking mostly south. Last week the trees were mostly bare; this week they are all budding but not yet showing leaves. I expect that by next week the ridge will no longer be visible from our house.

Finally a view from along the south side of the house. The small dogwood (just above the fence post) has fully come to terms with summer and has fully leafed out. The larger dogwood, not really visible in this picture since it's still bare, is probably dead or dying. We'll know more next week.

Until then....

AND THEY JUST PROVED IT: The elites are stupid, evil, and obsessed with race.

NOW WE KNOW THE NAME of the man with no name.

IN BIDEN'S AMERICA, there will be plenty of disease and war for all!

Read it all.

RANDOM THOUGHT: Is there a Nutrisystem for cats?

Asking for a friend....

NON SEQUITUR explains the Democrats' mid-term game plan....

PREDICTING the Democrats' mid-term wipeout.

I was center Right in 2008, but the Overton window has shifted so far left by 2021 that from a Leftist point-of-view conservative positions are to the right of Attilla the Hun.

ANOTHER GROOMER SELF-IDENTIFIES: Ohio school board president forced to resign over 'deeply disturbing' video.

FOOLS AND TOOLS: The Melber Foresight.

A DULY ELECTED MEMBER OF CONGRESS could be barred from running because ... she exercised her First Amendment rights.

The lawsuit is so laughable that it should be dismissed with prejudice immediately and the lawyers who filed it disbarred.

THIS SHOULD BECOME the Republican battle cry.

AND HAS BEEN FOR LONGER THAN I'VE BEEN ALIVE: Progressive ideology is a lie.

It's nothing more than a continuing quest for power.

THE BIDEN YEARS so far.

The next 32 months should be 'interesting' ... assuming we survive.

TWITTER BANS ADS contradicting the science 'narrative' on climate change.

That won't last....

J.D. VANCE: "The battle for Republicans is not just against the elites and not just against the left, it is against the leadership of our own party."
