Twitter Update from RushBabe49

I joined Twitter in November, after Elon Musk bought the company and engaged in a bit of house-cleaning and swamp-draining.  People still claim to be "shadow-banned", so he isn't through with the cleanup.  So I thought I'd bring my readers here up to date on what I've been doing there. I knew that the Leftists …

Just a taste of what our Washington State Legislature has in store for us this year

In November, the people of Western Washington returned even more DemocRats to our state legislature.  Since the majority of the population of Washington lives West of the Cascades, and the majority of them in Seattle, the far-Leftists of Seattle essentially run the State.  That doesn't make the residents of Eastern Washington very happy, but there's …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #241: Spring has Sprung!

On my Photos on my iMac, I have an album entitled Spring.  After autumn, spring is my favorite season, especially here in the Pacific Northwest, where winter is often gray and depressing.  In my backyard, the first sign of spring is the little scrawny hydrangea I planted, getting its first leaves.  Last year, I took …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #240: The Photo Road Most Traveled

I'm no professional photographer at all, but I do love to snap pictures with my iPhone camera everywhere I go.  My most common subject is landscapes, with a preference for rolling hills, mountains, and water.  Now, the last week of February, we flew down to Indian Wells, California, for a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar, …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #239: Finding Peace

For me, finding peaceful places always seems to include water.  Maybe it's because I grew up surrounded by bodies of water in the Seattle area.  Wherever we travel, we like to check out local lakes and rivers.  And when we are on a cruise ship, my favorite activity is sitting out on our stateroom balcony, …

Republished in its Horrifying Entirety: The Ministry of Truth planned by the Washington State Legislature

I have been hearing about the new bill in the Washington State Legislature, designed to brand all conservatives and those who disagree with Leftist policies in our state, as Domestic Violent Extremists.  Jason Rantz, at KTTH Radio, has this article on MyNorthwest.com, herewith reprinted in its entirety.  Our legislature is now close to California-level DemocRat …

What does the “Housing First” approach to homelessness say to the world, and to the homeless?

When the governments who run cities with huge homeless populations adopt the "housing first" approach, their first actions are aimed at finding housing for those living in tents on the streets and in parks.  This method, besides being doomed to failure (since housing is very expensive in most cities, and takes a long time to …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #238: Alone Time

I spend a lot of time alone these days, and I have no problem with that.  I get up early, long before my husband, and get ready to go to work.  But first, I have to satisfy the furry animal who waits outside the bedroom door, meowing for her breakfast. In the evenings, when Hubby …

A little jaunt to the Palm Springs area

Until this week, I had never been to Palm Springs, California.  My parents used to go there every winter for a few years, but that wasn't until I was an adult, an I never had a reason to go there before.  This week, Hubby and I hopped a plane and went down to a Hillsdale …
