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 …

I Defy

I defy the authorities who tell me that, as an over-70-year-old person, I should be staying home and not leaving my house.  I defy the Government Authorities who say this:  The CDC guidance comes as two top infectious disease experts with ties to the federal government have advised people over 60 and those with underlying …

Who does NOT suffer from the shutdown of the Washington State economy?

The only ones not suffering are the exalted ones in Big Government, especially in DemocRat-controlled Washington State.  They can wave their magic wands, and put thousands of people out of work in an instant.  Their jobs are not at risk, and they have little care for those who have been cast aside, ostensibly to protect …

For Who Will Record the Truth…

...in these days of Darkness?  Who will write down, for others to read, exactly what happens?  Who will write the History of events in all the turmoil?  Who will record exactly what is said, and meant, by President Donald Trump?  How will posterity know exactly what kind of President he was, when the recorders are …

Dispatches from Furlough, Day Ten

Well, it's the final day of my enforced "vacation", and I guess the last vacation from work I will take in my working life.  Boy, that thought just hit me.  I have had some time to think over that voluntary-separation offer I received, and I am now planning on some negotiations with my supervisors.  I …

Only in Leftist Washington State

Today, the governor of Washington State, Jay Inslee (vying for most-stupid politician with Senator Patty Murray, "mom in tennis shoes"), has communicated that he is contemplating: The State May Release Incarcerated Inmates Early as a Safety Precaution Safety for WHOM?!  One more indication that Leftists care more about Criminals than they do about the Taxpayers …

Hey, Washington Governor Inslee! Shut down the State for the entire month of April?

How, pray tell, do you expect the government of Washington to operate with no tax receipts?  In case you hadn't noticed, the State runs on Sales Taxes and the B & O tax on all businesses, large and small, regardless of profits.  No receipts, no revenue. What happens when the revenue stops?  How many government …

Dispatches from Furlough, Day Five

First, here's a little something I recorded last weekend, before my furlough even started.  We had a massive hailstorm, which lasted about 15 minutes, and covered the back yard in snow.  Some of it was still around in the morning, too.  This was from my bedroom window on the second floor, and you can see …
