I hope Governor Spanberger's executive orders are printed on soft, two-ply, absorbent paper...

...because I can only think of one real use for them.

Honor Memorial Day

 


God bless the souls of our departed warriors, and let not their deaths have been in vain.

To mark the day, here's the story of Marvin Glen Shields: "The only Navy Seabee awarded the nation’s highest award for valor" (you may need to pause your ad blocker on this site, unless my doing so carries over to the link).

Today's iconoclasts

"A Memorial to the Erased Statues and Monuments".

In one of history's more bitter-sweet ironies, a Trump-appointed black federal judge attempted - ultimately, without success - to stop the removal of the Confederate Memorial from Arlington National Cemetery.

How desperate are the Democrats?

So desperate that they're willing to let  this scumbag represent them in an election for a senate seat: "Graham Platner Won't Apologize for His Offensive Posts".

Graham Platner may be running for the U.S. Senate. He'd rather run from his past — and, of course, the reporters asking about it.
On Saturday, the Democrats’ presumptive nominee in Maine was confronted with a very simple question: whether he regretted making a now-deleted Reddit post in which he wrote that a wounded Purple Heart recipient "didn't deserve to live.”

Sunday funnies

 










Lower than expected market value.

Priorities.

Might need to check the rule book on that one.

If Jurassic Park was in Appalachia.

If animals took selfies.

"Try to stay focused, ma'am."

Panhandlers.

Strange how one careless second can ruin your whole morning.
