Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #253: Fragments

Fragments are parts of things.  Sometimes, you can tell what the original thing was, just by looking at the fragment. These pieces of driftwood were once trees. These fragments, all in a row, tell you that once on this beach, there was a dock for boats to tie up.  This remnant is probably from the …

The Court of Public Opinion Has Ruled

My friend, attorney Robert Barnes, tells us that we ordinary, tax-paying American Citizens can have an outsize influence on current affairs, when we communicate our preferences, get together online and in the real world, and let the forces of evil in our country know that WE are the basis of society, not they.  We, the …

This is the worst kind of journalistic malpractice

A couple of days ago, the House Oversight Committee, in a press conference, revealed that they had documents which show, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the illegal activities of the Biden Pay-to-Play Crime Family.  Through multiple layers of shell companies, the entire Biden family has taken millions of dollars from a variety of foreign …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #245: Environments

We live in Western Washington, but one of my favorite environments has always been rural Eastern Washington.  On this side of the Cascades, it's often wet and rainy, with gray cloudy skies for most of the fall and winter.  Eastern Washington is much drier, with brown, rolling hills.  Eastern Washington grows wheat, hops, and, increasingly, …

The State of Washington is Lost.

Today's Twitter thread by local newscaster Jason Rantz describes the thoroughly disgusting action of the Far-Left Legislature in the Far-Left State of Washington.  The State now will be a sanctuary for minor children who have succumbed to the Social Plague of "Trans-Genderism".  And the State guarantees that these minor children may be "transitioned" WITHOUT PARENTAL …

The Ruler of my State is Pure Evil
