Morning, campers. Work closed at noon Monday and closed all day Tuesday, so I just relaxed, big time. It was a nice break. 

Back on me head today.

Genuine Leftist Bullshit! Accept no substitutes!
Looking for a laugh? Here's NPR's Morning Sedition blaming the Texas outages on "climate change," defending the "green energy" section of the grid as having "outperformed" the traditional portions, etc. You've gotta hear this!

Wow. So rolling brownouts are outperforming, just like in California, huh?

Gotta keep the "climate change/green energy" narrative intact.

That narrative is evergreen.

Joe Biden is to government what two feet of snow is to a bank of solar panels.

Okay, so this would mean, if true, actual, shooting, civil war.

Technically, the Second Amendment says CONGRESS shall make no laws.... didn't say nothing about the President.

Since Separation of Powers is a thing of the past, and each branch can do whatever the hell the please......

We really, really are Post Constitutional. It gets paid lip service only.

A little sanity....

Mercer Island City Council votes to ban homeless camping within city limits

Mercer Island City Council members voted Tuesday night to adopt an ordinance that expands a ban on homeless camping, extending it from parks to cover all public property in the city.

The council voted to pass the ordinance with a 6-1 vote.

The proposal has raised questions about why the panel is considering such legislation in an area that is home to some of the most expensive homes in Washington state.

While speaking on the genocide on Uighurs on Tuesday Biden said: "Culturally there are different norms in each country and their leaders are expected to follow."

Yes, we absolutely must be more sensitive to the Chinese Communist cultural norm of committing genocide.

This is the same kind of excuse people made for Nazi Germany (and the Uighurs being herded onto trains is the closest we have of the concentration camp images in today's news)

(Been reading IBM and the Holocaust, and this is the kind of thing Watson said, although he said it about governments, not culture)

What ever happened to "human rights" (don't like that term) never mind individual rights?

So now Culture trumps "human rights"?

"Human rights" are the counterfeit of liberty.

Yup, totally agree.

I'm just pointing out their hypocrisy. Human Rights they say? Well unless they can claim culture.....

RIP Rush. Today is a good day to stay off social media.

I had wondered where things stood, based on something I read in passing. May his family find comfort and peace. And may his memory be a blessing to millions.

RIP Rush. Incidentally, in 1984 he began broadcasting at KFBK from my home town, Sacramento. I started listening to his program on and off way back then. He will be missed.

I first heard Rush way back in his Sacramento days.I was driving down I-5, scanning the radio for something interesting....

I pause on this talk show, after a bit I started thinking.... this guy thinks like me!

Then he took a caller..... and did a caller abortion....

I damn nearly drove off the road laughing my ass off.

One of the first stations in the country to go talk was Seattle KVI 570 and they had Rush.

Rush helped keep me sane living in Seattle.

Ha! Neat story. He used to put a condom on his s microphone for “safe talk”. You could hear the difference too, it was hilarious!

Can't say I was ever much of a Rush listener, but my goodness, did he do a great job getting under the skin of the Progs.

What was really funny he would say, "Okay the next thing I'm going to say will drive the left insane" He would explain why then say it.... the next day the left would be in an uproar.

Even when he said he was baiting them... they would take the bait.

I think it's time to revive an old idea.  If we could start "Quizzlings," the political version of the "Hollywood Squares," as a TV show, we could, in the words of Sydney Greenstreet in Casablanca, "make a fortune!"

Be careful whose words you are (blue) parroting.

Now I have to wonder, do Paris Hilton's lovers get together and say "We'll always have Paris."?
