Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #372: Ephemeral

Well, Tina has chosen the perfect season for this topic, things that don't last! Changing skies and fall colors definitely are ephemeral! In my back yard, I have three Japanese Maple trees. Starting in mid-October, their foliage goes through two transitions, sometimes almost overnight. They start out green, and gradually turn from maroon to bright …

Reactions to Tuesday’s elections in NYC and Virginia

On November 4, 2025, New York City elected a Muslim Jihadi Socialist as Mayor, with the help of a considerable number of Jews. Virginia elected three radical Democrats, one of whom openly advocated for the murder of political opponents. Here are reactions from around the country. https://twitter.com/old_schooleddie/status/1986200196649292090?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ https://twitter.com/cynicalpublius/status/1986201941249261590?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Around 80% of young women voted for …

Guest Author: John Konrad V, American on Canada

I will be copying this post in its entirety, comparing the US to Canada, and putting Canada in its subordinate place. Very powerful post. We had a good thing, Canada. A quiet arrangement. You kept watch up north, didn’t make noise, didn’t screw around. We covered the heavy lifting. You backed us up, built a …

All of our trick- or-treaters were polite kids, with parents on the sidewalk.

But some truck-or-treaters in Louisiana spoiled the Halloween experience for everyone around. Their second big mistake was stealing all the Halloween candy, AND some pumpkins from someone’s porch, within sight of the wide-angle doorbell camera. Their first and biggest mistake was using their work van with the company logo and information in bold letters on …

Far-Left Seattle Corruption revealed in Mayoral race. Yawn…

We all know the incestuous relations among Seattle legacy media, “alternative” media, and corrupt Seattle politicians. This year’s mayoral contest takes it to a whole new level. Katie Wilson, an avowed Socialist running against the leftist incumbent, was recently found to be a “nepo-baby”, still receiving money from her wealthy professor parents. Today, a local …

What the Welfare State Hath Wrought

So many people are "on Food Stamps" that when the government is shut down by DemocRat intransigence, people literally go crazy. Starting with LBJ's Great Society program in the 1960s, and continuing until Obama and Biden actively recruited people to go on the public dole and Biden allowed millions of illegal aliens to suck at …

Masks Dropped for good. The unabashed, blatant, in-your-face corruption of King County, Washington.

We have already heard the hundreds of stories of prolific offenders released over and over again by the thoroughly corrupt judges in King County. Nothing, even the fact that their own clerks are being assaulted on their way to work in downtown Seattle, seems to dissuade the leftist judges from their belief that the criminals …

To the Left, everything is political.

Including their pets! Aside from the fact that the radical left environmental lobby has been pushing for the elimination of all pets in the name of “saving the planet”, in the last couple of days I discovered some pet-owners who take their leftism to a whole new level. My readers will know that I follow …

This might be a bit premature but, “The Great Reclamation” is underway

At this moment, the Supreme Court has before it perhaps the most consequential case regarding the Deep State (permanent DC bureaucracy that is mostly leftist). For decades, an opinion called "Humphreys Executor" has essentially handed the entire government in Washington to unelected appointees who can never be fired or lose their appointments, by any of …

How NOT to solve the “homelessness crisis”.

The Seattle area, where I have lived for most of my 76 years, has a large and growing homeless population. People actually come here from all over the country, to take advantage of all the consideration and services lavished on the homeless. Nearly everywhere around this area, you can see homeless tents on sidewalks, in …
