Sunday Morning

The following is a public service announcement from PJ Media. Be it known that on Sunday, March 10 at 2 a.m., Daylight Saving Time will come into effect for most of the United States. You must move all clocks one hour ahead, according to the instructions issued to you when you were a child. Remember: "Spring Forward, Fall Back" with the word "Spring" referring to the season, not jumping like a kangaroo, and the word "Fall" also referring to the season and not something we might expect Joe Biden to do while walking up the steps to Air Force 1. Most of our watches and clocks are digital

From all the whining about daylight savings time, I guess I'm just different because I love daylight savings time. Just keep daylight savings time all year round.

If they're going to eliminate it, just go back top standard time. They tried that silly full time DST in 1974 and everyone hated it. It only lasted nine months before it was repealed. Permanent daylight saving time makes already late winter sunrises one hour later. The sun wouldn’t rise before 8 a.m. in where I live near Charleston WV for almost four months, between November and the end of February. The latest sunrise would happen at 8:43 am. The farther north you go the later it would rise. Just stick with standard time.

I don't care which one--standard or "daylight savings"--just pick one and stick with it. Is it really worth the increased risk of heart attacks and car accidents to "get extra daylight"? One of the best things about living in Arizona was NOT changing the dang clock twice a year.

This is for the perpetual gripers -and perhaps the occasional real dullards- among us in the L-Dotter world. The length of daylight varies through the year as a sine wave. (You DO know what a sine wave is, don't you? If not, look it up!) In the northern hemisphere, the sun rises earlier and sets later in the summertime, and rises later and sets earlier in the wintertime. This effect is more pronounced the farther north one is located. Anyone who disagrees needs to turn off their TV, computer or 'phone, go outside and look at the sky once in a while. Designating 'Standard Time' and 'Daylight Savings Time' and setting clocks ahead one hour in the springtime and setting clocks back one hour in the fall, is a rough method to coordinate the beginning of the standard 8-hour work day and school day with sunrise. I was in high school when the geniuses listened to the time-change gripers and proclaimed "Year-Round Daylight Savings Time!". It was not well received. Particularly farther north, everyone had to get up and get going to work in the dark. Schoolchildren, including first-graders, had to go out and wait for the school bus in the pre-dawn darkness, the coldest hour of the day on the coldest days of the year. Not a good situation. With year-round Standard time, people who work regular 'day shift' work hours, as well as school kids, have to wait an hour or two after the sun comes up before they can begin their work day, when the vast majority would rather get going earlier so that they can get off work earlier and have more daylight hours to enjoy at home after their work or school day is over. Making the Fall clock shift an hour later has the workers and school kids going to work or school in the winter DAYLIGHT. Making the Springtime clock shift an hour earlier has workers and school kids going to work or school in the early daylight, not having to waste an hour of daylight waiting for the work or school day to start. Enough of the 'cutting and sewing the blanket' nonsense. Everyone knows what's going on. Who do you think you are, anyway? Democ'RATS? Quit Griping, Set your Clock, and Get with the Program!

No matter how much I might disagree with a person, I am unlikely to call that person a "heartless monster" and/or "terrorist," especially when that person happens to be a United States combat veteran. Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.) is a U.S. Army combat veteran, having served in Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. Stepping on an IED in September 2010 "as he cleared a lane for Rangers during an attack in the Arghandab District of Kandahar" cost him both legs. In January 2015 he volunteered with the IDF, and was stationed just outside of Tel Aviv, "where he packed medical kits and moved supplies around, including some heavy lifting."

Many have speculated that Joe Biden was hopped up on something during Thursday's State of the Union. Whatever stimulation he received before taking the podium, it wasn't enough to stop him from calling Laken Riley by the wrong name and proclaiming that women have "electrical power," among other flubs. Somehow, things managed to get much worse on Friday. After an ill-advised impromptu presser on the tarmac of Joint Base Andrews, the president traveled to Pennsylvania for a campaign rally. Let's just say the upper wore off, leading to perhaps his most senile speech yet.

Can an illegally recorded phone call be used to form the basis of a prosecution? That's a question that is about to become very relevant following a bombshell revelation regarding the infamous phone call between Donald Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. On the call, Trump can be heard telling Raffensperger, "I just want to find 11,780 votes." That statement was one of the centerpieces of the former president's second impeachment. Was it definitive, though? In context, Trump had also asked Raffensperger to "find the fraud," indicating that he thought there were legitimate votes left to be uncovered. Regardless, Fulton County DA Fani Willis used the phone call

Laken Riley’s mother spoke out for the first time following President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address where he botched her dead daughter’s name. On Friday, Allyson Phillips slammed Biden for referring to her daughter as "Lincoln" rather than "Laken" in his speech. Riley, a 22-year-old Georgia nursing student, was murdered last month by a Venezuelan illegal immigrant who had been residing in the United States illegally. Responding to a Facebook comment, Phillips did not beat around the bush in her criticism toward the president, saying “Biden does not even KNOW my child’s name – it’s pathetic!

Thursday night’s State of the Union speech was a doozy. Joe Biden, hopped up on some cocktail of energizing substances, delivered a hyperpartisan speech that devoted more time to attacking Donald Trump and anyone else who doesn’t fall in line behind the far left’s policy proposals than to assessing the state of our country. Let’s call it what it was: a campaign speech. To quote Erick Erickson, the State of the Union was “partisan and not memorable and beneath the dignity of the office.” Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.) has garnered mixed reviews for her official rebuttal to Biden’s speech, but she wasn’t the only one to issue a response.

Democrat Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse allegedly spent the last 17 years in the Senate pushing legislation that directly benefits the environmentalist groups that pay his wife. A 21-page ethics complaint, filed by Judicial Watch last month, alleges Whitehouse abused his congressional position to enrich himself and his wife, Sandra Thorton Whitehouse, president of the consulting firm Ocean Wonks. She also raked in millions consulting for Ocean Conservancy and sat on the advisory board at AltaSea from 2015 to 2018, says the complaint. Whitehouse is Democrats’ lead man in their effort to destroy the credibility of the Supreme Court with sham ethics grievances and dark money allegations.

Cheney and her committee falsely claimed they had “no evidence” to support Trump officials’ claims the White House had communicated its desire for 10,000 National Guard troops. In fact, an early transcribed interview conducted by the committee included precisely that evidence from a key source. The interview, which Cheney attended and personally participated in, was suppressed from public release until now. Deputy Chief of Staff Anthony Ornato’s first transcribed interview with the committee was conducted on January 28, 2022.

Two months after taking office, Biden took the unprecedented step of ordering hundreds of federal agencies to interfere in state and local election administration. Under Executive Order 14019, all departments were required to use U.S. taxpayer money to boost voter registration and get-out-the-vote activities. The head of each department was directed to draft “a strategic plan” explaining how his or her agency intended to fulfill Biden’s edict. Federal departments were also told to collaborate with so-called “nonpartisan third-party organizations”

A great deal hinged on Joe Biden's performance during Thursday evening's State of the Union address. The White House knew more than anything that Biden had to dispel concerns regarding his age and cognitive decline. Naturally, the mainstream media did its part to help in shore up this narrative affirming Biden's presidential competence, and wound up choosing the same entry from the thesaurus to characterize his delivery: "fiery." I'm sure it was just a coincidence. But, it didn't work for those of us who saw and heard Biden's loud and angry delivery, which was punctuated by constant slurring and slip ups.

You may have heard of Project 2025, but this is from Agenda 47, and you can read all of these on his website. First, he promises that he will carry out the largest domestic deportation operation in history.
