MESSAGE BOARD AT A LOCAL CHURCH: "Half truths are still a whole lie."

SUCK IT UP: The Deparment of Homeland Security Has a message to the anti-ICE crew protesting nationwide operations.

DEMOCRATS, tell your perverted allies to stop murdering people.

JACK DUNPHY: What I saw at the Charlie Kirk memorial.

KURT SCHLICHTER: We totally voted for Trump to tick off tiresome foreigners.

FAREWELL TO IVANPAH, where incinerated birds catch fire so often that locals call them 'streamers'.

LIBERALS DON'T UNDERSTAND FREE SPEECH. They believe you should be free to speak what they want to hear.

ELON MUSK'S DOGE uncovered the biggest health care heist in American history.

REPUBLICANS ARE totally not being cool about people murdering them.

THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD to a beheading.

ALMOST OBE: House passes bill to avoid partial Government shutdown, but prospects in the Senate look dim. Make the Democrats shut it down. It'll starve the deep state for a few days snd save us money. Republicans must be very aggressive in blaming the Democrats.

About 5-1/2 hours left until the lights (mostly) go out. Thank you, Republicans.

I AGREE.

HOUSE DEMOCRATS FEAR VIOLENCE for 'No' votes on Kirk resolution.

It's always the Right that's violent ... correct?

TRUMP IS RIGHT: Schools must pay dearly for discrimination.

The best solution is to make the money follow the student; not conversely.

WHY THE LEFT NEEDS THE RIGHT: Destroyers depend on builders.

Without conservatives building things, there's nothing for the Left to destroy....

THE SPEAR FINALLY THRUST FORWARD: Conservatives fighting back.

SPINELESS. If they have a primary opponent vote for him/her.

THE DOWNFALL OF AMERICA'S CITIES: Who can save our blighted urban areas?

No one. Withdraw all federal aid and let them rot until they beg for help. [Note: this is a PJMedia VIP post; sign up and join normal America.]

FALLING LEAVES 2025, WEEK 1: Day late and dollar short, I guess, but my cell phone camera has been uncooperative this week. This is, formally, Week One though I did a preview on the 17th. Herewith today's photos.

The first, obviously is the pond view.

The difference isn't really significant ... yet. The grass isn't as green and most of the early leaf fall has been blown away.

The next picture is my usual barn/fire pit view. As before most of the early leaf fall has blown away (winds, I guess, during our vacation).

The (remaining) leaves on the trees are still there, but the flowers along the walkway are beginning to fail. The grass is beginning to brown.

Here is the tree line looking north along the road.

The taller ones have already lost all their leaves; those shorter are still mostly green but there are patches of yellow and red.

To the south, pretty much the same -- the taller trees are mostly leafless, the smaller ones, not so much.

Interestingly, the flowerbeds are mostly active and still blooming. A few, the ferns in particular but also the elephant ears, have begun to hibernate, but the roses and day lilies are still happy.

This has been an interesting fall season. We had a cold spell up front, but the last few days have been mild and warm -- mid-60s at night and mid-70s in the daytime.

We shall see what tomorrow brings. Until next week then. --

WINNERS WIN AND LOSERS WHINE: The Democrats' freakout is all about desperation.
