We’ve got a *High Wind Warning*, and combined with squalls moving eastward, we’re soon getting what you had.
Heat lightning and thunder claps in heavy snow.
A fleeting thing
At least with the snow you have acoustic dampening. “:^)
I wonder how many people (including Drudge) have considered that Democrats may be strategically slowing down the confirmation of the Treasury and HHS Secretaries (Mnuchin and Price) in order to delay rolling out tax cut and Obamacare repeal actions because the department heads haven't been seated yet.
This allows the Democrats to try to create a wedge between Trump and his voter base by gaslighting them into believing that Trump is abandoning his campaign promises, when he might be waiting for his team to be seated so they can begin working on deploying it.

Bigtime!
I love the quiet of winter.
85 deg in Feb here LOL
Rush just said the judiciary is a co-equal branch of the government.
Wrong.
Why do people say that, anyway?
Where does it say the branched are co-equal? Nowhere.
Do not confuse checks and balances for co-equal branches.
The judicial branch is the weakest. The legislative branch is the strongest. The executive branch answers to the legislative and not the other way around. How do we know that? The legislative branch can remove the president or any executive branch official from office. The president cannot remove a congressman or senator. Nor can a president repeal a law and is required to execute the laws faithfully by the constitution.
The legislature can remove a judge from office. A judge cannot remove a congressman or senator. And so on.
The judicial branch only has power over the parties properly before it under the law and rules. No more.
BTTT
Thank you; about my fifth award.
You have snow? We’re having a nice little storm here. Just hired two fresh-faced kids to do the driveway.
We’ll make it up to 70 here, or close to it.
Nice, I knew there wee at least two kids in the Northeast that still shoveled driveways for $$. Most of my friends are out doing their own driveways while their kids sleep in.
“85 deg in Feb here LOL”
I don’t think we had any temps of much higher than that, all last summer, here. Unusually cool.
85 deg here most of the week!
Ran the AC yesterday
A friend of mine usually does it but he never called me this morning so these nice kids came by and why not? My friend probably won’t speak to me again. But it IS almost 1:30pm.
I ran it yesterday in my car!
Bill Kristol is insane. Plus, he’s seriously never been right about anything.
Something I’ve been wondering about: will President Trump’s protectionist policies result in a big increase in the prices of Mexican produce coming to the U.S.? Would that in turn make it more profitable for American farmers to grow produce here? In Colorado the out-of-season produce we get from Mexico is old by the time it gets to the store; I miss the fresh produce we used to get from California, and would be willing to pay more for it. Any agriculture-smart FReepers on the thread today?
Rush JUST made the point I have been trying to make for weeks:
The media and Dems are trying to shove it down our throats that immigrants don’t want to work...not true...
‘Illegals’ don’t want to work...they want to live off of the government with food stamps, housing, and medical...
‘Immigrants’ do want to work...they want to have jobs, pay taxes, live in a home and have decent health care and schools for their chrilden...
There is another problem on the Horizon:
The H1B Visa bill is to bring in people from other countries and when all these Corportations bring their companies in and they don’t want to hire Americans First, they want to hire H1B visa people, their excuse:
“The people here in America are not smart enough for these jobs”...and they might be right...look at our young people, are they being taught in college the job market? No, because they are only being taught how to riot and protest and get their feelings hurt...
How is this going to work out???
If their is no domestic supplier for a specific imported good it promotes investment in the USA to build production facilities to make that product here.
win - win all the way around.
The rulers of IT just don't want to pay the wages that Americans want. The H-1B visa program needs to be killed. Don't listen to scare tactics of the globalist cartel.
