DACA was an executive order of Obama’s that allowed illegals of any age to stay in the US if they came over when they were young.  Most of those people are going to be adults big enough to take their lumps.  The average DACA bum would be something like forty years old.

President Obama did not have the power to write law, and immigration law is not the same as enforcement.  This was one more of the many ways in which his “I have a phone and a pen” threat to issue laws from the desk was implemented, right between the eyes … Continue reading →

… the border-hopping evil genius.

On 9-11-09 I was floating in my boat, just looking around, in the headwaters of the Metolius River arm of Lake Billy Chinook in central Oregon.  This bird was soaking up some afternoon sun.  Lucky me.

We leave next Monday for three weeks out and about.  First stop is Ft. Stevens State Park near Astoria, then on to Gray’s harbor area on the central Washington coast, then lastly to the foothills of Mt Rainier for some biking and sightseeing.  I’ll take pix along the way; charging the batteries on my good camera right now.  So, until we’re in a place where I have decent WiFi, I’ll part for now with these last few pix from the yard.  One is regular visitors to the pond and the other is our Watermelon Crepe Myrtle tree in full summer bloom.  It blooms late here because what it really likes is zone 7, and we’re at about 5 1/2.

That’s not a cafeteria.  That’s a cat box.  What’s French for cat box?

You can accept a person without accepting their ideology. You need not believe what they believe, not approve of it, not even in them, nor grant “tolerance” of a thing you abhor — in order to recognize a fellow and friend in a person you know.
Not all friends are of the same order. Not all beliefs must be accorded the same respect.
I have friends who adhere to a larger ideology which I find despicable, monstrous, satanic. Yet these men are proven heroes, worthy of respect and no small degree of admiration.
When my friend does not slay the infidel, nor kill the Jew, neither push to expand the realm of Jihad and Sharia nor draw a bloody line between that dar al Islam … Continue reading →
