More sad news from Europe, whose governments continue to favor invaders over their own citizens. https://twitter.com/thebritlad/status/2050219159846281521?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ https://twitter.com/niohberg/status/2050262651784020435?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ https://twitter.com/mrandyngo/status/2050074829689074014?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ https://twitter.com/islaminvasion/status/2049797963568820468?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ https://twitter.com/realdannytommo/status/2050107872080547958?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ https://twitter.com/adrian_hilton/status/2050102411516121473?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Inheritance taxes apply to schools now Leftist governments never have enough of other people’s money, so they impoverish their citizens until there are none left to extract taxes from. https://twitter.com/realmaalouf/status/2050202626294259859?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ https://twitter.com/radiogenoa/status/2050090812575269368?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Offered amnesty to …

The Left will not stop until Donald Trump is dead or in prison. Another FAILED attempt on his life.

Yesterday was supposed to be the White House Correspondents Dinner in DC, where members of the Press get together to celebrate the First Amendment and jocularly "roast" the President and other members of his administration. Since 2015, when Donald Trump first ran for President, that group has turned from a friendly group into a pathological …

So many great animal posts came out this week that I just had to share them.

Despite all the gory news and tyrannical governments oppressing their citizens, there are always some good news and heartwarming stories out there. Here are a few. https://twitter.com/jackunheard/status/2047037555539857649?s=20 Wheels for a disabled tortoise, and it's such a simple fix! https://twitter.com/SamaHoole/status/2046498659307606521?s=20 I was around in 1998, but I sure don't remember this fun story from the UK. …

On By rushbabe49In art, Authoritarianism, Culture, Education, government, History, Law and JusticeLeave a comment

I can honestly say that I have never heard of this Maryland gentleman who signed the Declaration. He was an interesting fellow, see if you don't agree! A respected lawyer, jurist, and public servant, William Paca was known for his quiet, razor-sharp logic and strategy—and his impact on Maryland politics before, during, and after the …

*Disgusting, Deranged, Deplorable Democrats

For the party which thinks of itself as the most tolerant, compassionate, loving, open-minded, intelligent folks in America, they sure have strange ways of showing it. They show off their tolerance by issuing death threats to political opponents whose worst offenses consist of holding contrary opinions to theirs. Like this. https://twitter.com/catturd2/status/2045293570475647369?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Please notice that the …

Happy Birthday to Me: trip up to the Skagit

On By rushbabe49In art, business, Culture, humor, Nature, photography, Random Musings About Life, transportation, Travel and Vacations2 Comments

For my birthday this year, I asked to drive up to the Skagit Valley to check out the tulips, then have my birthday dinner at a seafood restaurant near the marina in Anacortes. It was a perfect day for that drive, even though we didn't see many tulips! We really don't like to pay big …

Since all of my photos these days are taken with my iPhone 15 Pro, it's pretty easy for me to find them to post! Since it's April, and the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival is in progress, I thought I'd start with this one from 2023. The Skagit Valley of Washington is the second-largest provider of …
