We all know that the Federal government has been spending your money like there's no tomorrow, lining the pockets of their favored groups, and "helping" the citizens who have been, what they call "impacted" (read: Ruined) by their actions to attack the Wuhan Coronavirus over the past year.  One of the huge spending bills was …

Here in the Pacific Northwest, we have some of the most beautiful scenery anywhere.  There's Mount Rainier, the Olympic Mountains (see my blog header), Puget Sound, Lake Washington, and the Seattle skyline with the Space Needle.  Unfortunately, not too far beneath that beauty exist local governments who seem bent on ruining the livability of their …

It just hit me again…mourning the Great Rush Limbaugh

On By rushbabe49In Authoritarianism, Culture, government, Media bias4 Comments

It hit me like a ton of bricks, and my eyes became wet.  In my email box was something from the Rush 24/7 Web site.  In the email was this: He is gone, and I mourn.  Just at the worst time for America, when we are facing an existential threat from Communist China (it is …

Yes, it’s about Control now, not “Public Health”, and here’s proof

Finally, our Dictator here in Washington State has relaxed the statewide mask mandate that required everyone to wear a face-covering at all indoor locations other than home; with businesses made the enforcers by threatening them with fines or loss of business license if they admitted people with no mask on.  Now, those businesses may issue …

It should be common knowledge now, that the Almighty CDC last week issued new "guidance" (treated as LAW by most governments); allowing those who have been fully vaccinated against the Wuhan Coronavirus to quit wearing masks everywhere (except for public transportation and medical facilities).   And it should also be common knowledge that the Dictator …
