Russia Is Accused

Russia may have poisoned people in Great Britain. I do not know if this rises to The War of Jenkin's Ear type of provocation, but sometimes great conflagrations start with what seem to be small sparks.

Good Riddance Tillerson

Our swamp-dwelling Secretary of State has been shown the door. Rex Tillerson allowed Clinton holdovers and Obama ideas to dominate the State Department. Our foreign service under Mike Pompeo will drain the swamp and make Foggy Bottom reflect American values.

The Unending Winter

I had to deice and scrape the car this morning after a half inch of snow. It melted during the course of the morning, but I sure could use some of that global warming Al Gore is always ranting about.

The Tariff Trap

In instances where trade is fair, I am a free trader. Tariffs raise prices for consumers. Tariffs start trade wars. When trade is fair, tariffs are an awful idea. I think President Trump is correct on these tariffs because trade has been anything but fair, particularly with Red China manipulating their currency, engaging in widespread industrial espionage and theft of intellectual property, and dumping in an effort to destroy US industries, particularly strategic ones.

The Easter Bunny

Rabbits don't stand much of a chance around here. We have four Keeshonden who like to supplement their kibble with some extra protein. If the bunny makes to the house to the east, there are two Goldendoodles to contend with. If the rabbit escapes to the east, there is a Jack Russel. Behind us, two coonhounds await. Next to these big dogs, the married opthamologist and anesthesiologist have six little yappers, any of which is more than a match for a bunny. If the rabbit, somehow escapes all the dogs, the hawks and coyotes are waiting for him. If the rabbits make it to Easter, it will be a miracle.

Snow on Easter

Forty years ago (or so), when I was in elementary school, we had several inches of snow on Easter Sunday. By Monday, the temperature in Nashville rose to seventy degrees and it all melted. A few years back, as a middle-aged adult, I saw snow again on Easter here in Nashville, and it remained cold enough that it lasted on the ground for a few days. Easter does not always herald spring in the "sunny South".
