The eco-Socialists at Treehugger joyfully embraced California Governor Newsom’s unilateral Executive Order. To radically change Californians’ lives by no longer allowing gas-powered vehicles to be sold beginning in 2035. But he also said that gas cars could still be used up to and after that date.

Quick Thought – ACB Confirmation Hearing: US Senate Democrats Are Showing Their Pigheadedness Again
I have the hearing on in my office as I’m going about my blogging day. One thing is clear: Democrats are all BEMOANING that they are about to lose their hold on what they consider “their” supra-legislature branch of Government – the Supreme Court of the United States.
Notable Quote – Society vs Government
Just as the Founders considered and created a Constitution that would guarantee the Separation of Powers, the philosophy behind it was to set up bulwarks to deny people the ability to aggregate power unto themselves and their special interests.
So, Now the Left Wants More “Economic Colonialism”?
All we’ve been hearing about lately is racism, incipient bias, BLM, oppression, unconscious bias, police brutality, equity (LeftSpeak for quotas), inequalities, the list seems never-ending. One word, however, that has only been mentioned in passing has been “colonialism.”
Translating Outbound U-Hauls Into Tax Revenues (Downward)
San Francisco and California have made themselves shining examples. Couldn’t happen to a better City and State. When you make yourselves unhealthy to live in from a financial standpoint, no amount of “Best weather in the US” (frankly, Hawai’i is better).
Bitter Clingers, Deplorables…..and now Maggots?
Yep, for sure – Keith Olbermann, who should really stick to reporting and commenting on sports, has decided to go all Jim Carey (who really should just stick to just acting), and showed us all how unhinged one’s TDS can make them.
Biden on Court Packing: “No, They Don’t Deserve to Know”
Nancy Pelosi famously said that in order to figure out what was in Obamacare, they (the US House, US Senate, and President) had to pass it first. That day was one of the worst, if not THE worst, days in Legislative history.
“Facebook Lets Activists Restrict My Videos Based on Something I Never Said.”
This is an ongoing problem with Facebook that they won’t acknowledge by actually DOING something. Oh, they’ll issue a non-apology apology. Say it was a mistake or that an “algorithm” screwed things up. Except that the vast majority of mistakes and the screwups involve conservatives taking it in the shorts.
DISQUS Doodlings – And With a Single Word (WuFlu) I’m a Racist
I got called a racist. Not that it’s much of a surprise. It’s a typical argument ender by the Left when they have nothing better to say. They just can’t help hurling epithets, thinking that everyone else would understand that Their Emotions Trump EVERYTHING (see what I did there?); end of discussion.
DISQUS Doodlings – It’s the “How It Is Being Done” That Is Wrong. Right?
Last month, California made the decision that it was going to tell the tide of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to go out and never return. Of course, this got much play – that only electric cars and trucks would be allowed. Petroleum-based vehicles would be illegal to be sold.
Palate Cleanser – would YOU jump off a 10 meter platform?
I’ve done it in the past when I was MUCH younger. Got back up and did it again but that first time? A regular board is easy, five meter not much harder. It IS a lot different for a 10. Just ask these folks (if you are bilingual – thank God for subtitles). Be careful, … Read more
Data Point – Polling on Amy Coney Barrett’s SCOTUS nomination
Not that it matters but it seems that all political factions are warming up to Trump’s nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsberg on the US Supreme Court: Now, this will have NO impact on the actual process – the Constitution says that the President SHALL nominate and that the … Read more
Economic Recovery is slow, Susan Page?
That was one of the “issues” that Susan Page (USA Today), the moderator of the VP Debate between VP Pence and Kamala Harris, had on her plate. Problem is, well, you’ll see: SHOT: “Vice President Pence, your administration has been predicting a rapid and robust recovery, but the latest economic reports suggest that is not … Read more
Notable Quote – “We Are on the Precipice as a Nation Right Now…”
The problem with Democrats is they want Government to do EVERYTHING for everyone and are willing to take away Liberty from some to be able to give stuff to others.
BlogObservation of the Day – if Only More Men Would Observe the Pence Rule
I’ve written about this before: I see nothing wrong with Mike Pence trying to make sure that nothing untoward ever happens during his marriage. He pledged himself to his wife. Why is eliminating all “points of failure” bizarre?
A Generous Man
1) In 1986 a farmer, Lenard Hill, took his own life on the morning his farm was to go to a courthouse auction, believing that his life insurance would pay enough to save the cotton and soybean plantation that had been in his family for more than 100 years.
Trump Vows Immediate $1,200 Check To Americans If Speaker Moves Bill – ‘Are You Listening, Nancy?’
FIRST, we are, for the first time, $27 Trillion in debt as a nation. We are broke, broker, brokest. WHY are we sending out more money? WHY is ANYONE sending out even more money that we don’t have?
BlogQuestion of the Day – Setting the Stage for Third World Behaviors?
BLM and Antifa rioters recognize that elected Representatives in the Democrat cities are allowing their behaviors. They are ordering police forces to stand down from enforcing the law. Castigating their own employees for protecting themselves and those around them.
Notable Quote – Because Nothing Says Envy Like Socialism
Most Socialists are unhappy with their status in life and have resorted to blaming everyone else. ESPECIALLY those richer than themselves. Especially so when they finally figure out (and that’s not a given) that making other decisions throughout their lives would have been more optimal.
Blogline of the Day – Chris Wallace, Emasculated
Yes, the insufferable, arrogant and condescending guardian of the DC swamp gates is once again pearl-clutching, after being exposed as the insufferable leftist hack he is by the sunlight that is our president.
