This is what he says. So now, disagreement with the government is "Thoughtcrime" in my state. Being anti-government makes a person a "domestic violent extremist". He talks about protecting constitutional rights of free expression, but then defines "disinformation" as violent extremism. Beware, anyone disagreeing with the government, they will be coming for you. This guy …

I was thrilled to see the topic for this week's Challenge, as I own some items that are completely unique. The first one is a piece of art, which I inherited from my parents. I remember telling them when I was a teenager that, when they died, I insisted on getting this, and I did …
This is the time of year when emptiness can predominate. All the leaves have fallen off the deciduous trees, leaving their branches empty. But still beautiful. In the autumn, most beaches are empty of people, since the vacationers are gone. We were fortunate to visit Cape May, on the Jersey Shore, in October, when the …

First the Good. Two views of our Thanksgiving dinner. Left photo is this morning, after dry-brining in the refrigerator overnight. Right photo is just before going in the oven, with my homemade rub. Cooking in "low and slow" at the suggestion of Chef Andrew Gruel. And then, the Bad. And these results are probably understated. …
The world, and our Country, are very uncertain, and, frankly, scary right now. With wars breaking out and continuing, Jews threatened around the world, and Conservatives targeted by Leftist governments, you can sometimes lose sight of what makes the United States of America Great. Ours is still the beacon of Liberty in the world. Just …
Hello, everyone. This week's challenge is going to be great fun for me, as I am always in the habit of looking both up and down for good photos. It's amazing what you can spot, if you look down around your knees. We have been some places recently that had beautiful flower containers on the …
I knew it was wrong, but I did it anyway. We went to our Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra concert at the Kirkland Performance Center this afternoon. The soloist today was Israeli jazz clarinetist Anat Cohen. We have heard her before with the orchestra, and were eager to see and hear her again. As usual, she …

The State of Washington is divided by the North-South Cascade Mountains, a line of "extinct" volcanoes. The scare-quotes are real (see 1980's eruption of Mount St. Helens). The climate (in more ways than one) of each half of the state is dramatically different. The Western half is known as the "wet" half, due to the …
THIS I KNOW Islam is incompatible with Western Civilization. Muslims in any country, other than the Middle East, Africa, or Asia, do not assimilate into their host country. They do not adopt the values of the countries into which they immigrated. Countries in Europe now have "no-go zones", where violence runs rampant, and even police …
Today, there is a story about the President of France wanting to "enshrine Abortion in the country's Constitution." Last year, the United States of America overturned a Supreme Court ruling that had made abortion legal everywhere, however, the US never went as far as adding Abortion to the US Constitution. That would have been a …
