To all our servicemen and women who gave “their last full measure” for our freedom.
Machinist mate 2nd class (gunner) Loyce Edward Deen. Buried at sea in his TBF Avenger.
Least we forget. Memorial day is more the just the unofficial start of summer. It is a day set aside for those who never came home.
Remember and Honor.

Vermont was the first to try a single-payer plan. The ideal state for single payer. Home to Ben and Jerry’s. Democrats as far as the eye can see, including one of the major single-payer proponents, socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders. How did that turn out in the land of Chunky Monkey?
Not well. Legislation was signed into law. But then reality hit. The price tag was more than the entire state budget, funded by a tax hike above and beyond Bernie’s wildest dreams. The governor wisely pulled the plug, rather than bankrupting his state, sending business east, west and south to more friendly states. Strike one…
…If tax revenues are insufficient, just pay doctors less right? Until they leave the state. Can’t you pay hospitals less? Sure, until they close their doors. Then come the wait-lists. Waiting for not enough doctors or hospital beds. Don’t believe me? Just look across the pond at the British National Health Service to see exactly how this plays out under a government-run single-payer system.

The Democrats only hope is that the “stupid party” comes to their rescue.
Oh the humanity.

Out for a drive. Ski has a lot good and funny comments and observations, but Wayne sounds like a dumbass. I may have to edit before I release any dialog. Enjoy the springtime scenery.
When it doesn’t have a political agenda.
U.S., Norwegian, and German scientists report back on the surprising results of an Arctic Ocean research expedition.
The ocean waters near the surface of the Arctic Ocean absorbed 2,000 times more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than the amount of methane that escaped into the atmosphere from the same waters, according to a study by the USGS Gas Hydrates Project and collaborators in Germany and Norway. The study was conducted near Norway’s Svalbard Islands, above several seafloor methane seeps.
Methane is a more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, but the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere where the study was conducted more than offset the potential warming effect of the methane emissions that were observed.
Are you listening boys and girls?
Your freedom hangs in the balance.
When these 3 thing occur.
Apple blossoms.
Fields of yellow dandelions.
And June Bugs.
But it’s only for a very short time. Enjoy it while it lasts, especially when its not raining.

The philosophy of moral relativism has been with us since the days of the ancient Greeks. This philosophy propagates the lie that there are no Moral absolutes and objective truths.
Found this You Tube channel by accident. It is small and relatively new. (no pun intended)
It’s worth checking out.
First the came for the climate change deniers, and also here.

Look no further then our college campuses.

There is a place in America where civil rights don’t exist.
The First Amendment doesn’t apply. Neither does the Sixth Amendment. (Never mind the Second.) Not only Freedom of Speech, but Freedom of Association (NAACP v. Alabama) is under fire.
Snowflakes. Oversensitive. We’ve all heard those accusations leveled at college students. Are millennial college students really an oversensitive generation? Or are they right to be oversensitive.
Two types of people are sensitive; the entitled and the endangered. It’s reasonable to be paranoid about subtle social nuances if you live in a totalitarian state where the wrong word or look will be punished. Where someone is always watching for even the most minor acts of political incorrectness.
College students are afraid. And they should be.The average college campus with its speech codes, thought policing, violent protests and kangaroo courts has no resemblance to anything else in the United States of America.
Colleges are totalitarian states. And they are the blueprints of the left’s plan for the entire country.

Vermont is at the forefront in saving the planet.
I’ve posted on this subject before. As readers(?) of this blog will no doubt note.
Vermont needs to do away with dairy farming altogether. Cows fart methane. Methane is even a worse greenhouse gas then carbon dioxide. Get rid of the cows and fill the pastures with solar panels. It’s a win win situation.
And none other the light bringer Obama himself agrees.
From Heatstreet.
The most striking of Obama’s remarks came when he brought up food consumption. “Our existing food system is a significant contributor to climate change,” Obama said going on to list ways that the challenge of people eating could be slowed or halted. “We need to create a food culture that encourages a demand for healthier more sustainable food,” he lectured, claiming that up to 40% of Americans waste food while millions on the planet starve. Perhaps this is the part of the speech he should have given before sailing around Polynesia on billionaire David Geffen’s yacht with Tom Hanks, Bruce Springsteen and Oprah Winfrey.
The article mainly focuses on meat consumption, but we know better. Dairy cows fart too.
Perhaps it’s time to switch to almond or soy milk.
45 degrees F. in January and February is warm.
What a wet, cold, miserable spring.
On well.

Looks like this pattern is going to continue for awhile.
Springtime for Bernie and Socialism.
Because being a journalist means you think you know everything when you really know nothing.
From Investor’s Business Daily
Economics: Why is it that reporters keep scratching their heads about Venezuela’s descent into extreme poverty and chaos? The cause is simple. Socialism. End it and you will end the misery. When the New York Times wrote about Venezuela’s ongoing collapse a year ago, it described how the country was suffering “painful shortages … even of basic foods,” and how “electricity and water are being rationed, and huge areas of the country have spent months with little of either.”
Here is how the Times explained the reason for Venezuela’s dire situation: “The growing economic crisis (was) fueled by low prices for oil, the country’s main export; a drought that has crippled Venezuela’s ability to generate hydroelectric power; and a long decline in manufacturing and agricultural production.”
There’s no mention — not one — of the fact that Hugo Chávez tried to turn Venezuela into a socialist paradise, policies that his successor Nicolás Maduro has continued. The Times’ coverage is par for the course.

Venezuela has been feeling the Bern. Someday Vermont may feel it too.
