Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #394: History through the lens

This week, my friend at Journeys With Johnbo challenges us to show photos of historical sites and sights! We like to visit places with historical significance, and my trusty phone camera helps there, since it's always with me. In 2022, on our road trip to Colorado, Hubby wanted to stop in Idaho, and visit 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 …

Awe-inspiring. Here’s how it happened. https://twitter.com/curiosityonx/status/2041565901271474320?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ This is so cool!

Less-known Signers of the Declaration of Independence: Joseph Hewes of North Carolina, by way of New Jersey and Pennsylvania

For this installment in my 250th-anniversary series, I chose a signer whom I had never heard of. This gentleman had a circuitous life in the Colonies-born in one state and resident of two others. He earned wealth as a merchant, and served his country in the Continental Congress. It's a shame that he didn't live …

*A very important Open Letter to all Government Workers

In 2018, the US Supreme Court issued a monumental decision in the case of Janus v. AFSCME. This decision affirmed the right of all government employees to opt OUT of joining the union, AFSCME, which represents them in negotiations with their employer. Now, you need to think about this case, and about the idea of …

*No Shame: The descent of modern society into Depravity

https://twitter.com/theonlydsc/status/2033735513153122444?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ When did it start? What was the first inkling that what was previously forbidden behavior, was now going to become not only accepted, but celebrated. What happened that now, if you don't celebrate vulgar, depraved behavior, you are mocked and ridiculed? My guess is this started back in the 1950s and 1960s, with the …

On the Artificial Intelligence Bloodbath

I have already told my readers that no part of this blog, except for some AI-generated memes, is made or edited by an AI program. This week, Amazon broadcast that they had laid off 2,600 software engineers, to be replaced totally by AI. Before they left, they were required to fully document everything they did, …

*Washington State DemocRat Tyranny. Not an exaggeration.

We are already aware of the raw power the Washington DemocRats are exerting over the citizens who elected them. Senator Bob Hasegawa of Tukwila, in the interest of "getting money out of politics" has introduced a new bill (dead for now, will be resurrected for the next session) that is so obviously unconstitutional and tyrannical …

Legislative Tyranny. Washington State committing slow (then faster) suicide. Citizens hardest hit.

Let's start with a local story, from MyNorthwest.com. They don't have a Plan B: Intentionalist survey shows Seattle's small businesses struggling more than during Covid. The combination of increasing taxes, rising minimum wages, declining city services and foot traffic have made small business's survival a real struggle. Now, since Seattle just elected a Socialist mayor, …

This may be the most important post I do this year, for my fellow Pacific Northwesterners. The REAL Extremists, by Tony Seruga

Tony Seruga and his partner are the Ultimate Dot-Connectors. They do geo-fencing at events, seeing who was there; compare data from zillions of events, and connect the attendance and funding dots. This X post, copied in its entirety and linked at the end, connects all the very ugly dots on who our Extremists really are. …
