The best argument I have ever heard against Executive Orders on Covid Response

From a judge in an Illinois court: “Before I rule, I’m advising everybody in this room, no public outbursts or displays. The court is still in session until you are told otherwise. Since the inception of this insanity, the following regulations, rules or consequences have occurred: I won’t get COVID if I get an abortion …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #97 – Pastimes

One of my favorite things to do when I'm out and about is bird-watching.  I have a 1960s Roger Tory Peterson Field Guide to Western Birds, and I keep a "life list" in the back, checking off the birds I have seen.  I especially like traveling, and seeing birds that we don't have here on …

Voices from the Lockdown

In my travels through the Wall Street Journal last week, I heard the following voices, calling out of the Wilderness that is "Coronavirus Lockdown", variously enforced in most of the United States, by Governors and Mayors who don't like the US Constitution very much.  They issue various decrees upon their Subjects, forcing them to stay …

Bubble-wrapped America: Hairdressers are afraid to re-open their salons in Washington State

The always-alarmed Press has got Americans so afraid of dying of the Wuhan Coronavirus that they have convinced some hairdressers in the Pacific Northwest that they would be in mortal danger from their customers, if they re-open their salons in the next "phase" of His Royal Highness Jay Inslee's plan to re-open the Washington State …

This is Sad. And Criminal. LaConner, Washington

This afternoon, my husband and I defied the "stay-at-home" order, and drove our car up to the Skagit Valley.  It was bright, sunny, and around 80 degrees out.  LaConner is admittedly a "touristy" little town on the Swinomish Slough, with dozens of little local stores selling just about anything you might want.  Not one store …

What now, Ketchikan, Juneau, and Skagway?

This summer, the cruise industry is forced by the Wuhan Coronavirus pandemic to cancel all cruises to Alaska.  Cruises to Alaska leave from the ports on the West Coast, including San Francisco, Seattle, and Vancouver, BC.  So those ports will miss out on the cruise ship passengers' money, but they have other sources of tourists. …

There was actually some good news today.

First Good News Story:   US Department of Justice Drops the Case Against General Michael Flynn. This case was a total travesty from Day One, and documents revealed this week show a real conspiracy, led and known by those at the top of the Obama Administration FBI, led by James Comey.  The reputation of the …

Stolen. “If it walks like a Quack and Talks like a Quack”

Thanks to a Ricochet friend for bringing this excellent quote to my attention.  It belongs in a prominent position, since it perfectly expresses the horror of the "Covid-19 Lockdown" mentality that has taken over the brains of so many state governors/mini-dictators.  From Dr. John Rao: Our Socratic forbears taught us through their “Seeds of the …

Washington Governor Inslee: Ho Ho, Hey Hey, How many lives have you ruined today?!

The so-called governor of Washington State has "extended the stay-home order through the end of May", while supposedly outlining "reopening plan".  This is a politician who literally holds his subjects' lives in his hands.  I want to know how many suicides this order will cause?  I want to know how many MORE businesses will close …
