It’s Mother’s Day and the WP Clan gathered here at The Gulch to celebrate the day with the WP Mom. The weather was cooperative, being sunny and in the upper 50’s until late afternoon when it finally made it into the low 60’s. We got about 2 inches of rain over the previous five days which has made the brooks and streams run with the rainfall. Fortunately we didn’t experience any flooding due to the rain, but other parts of New Hampshire, primarily the southern counties, did see some flooding here and there. Any precipitation deficit we had is now long gone as we’ve had more rain than we usually get for the entire month in just the first 9 days of the month.
One of the downsides of the rain we’ve received is that it has prevented paving of the state road that passes by the area where The Gulch is located. On more than a few occasions preparation and paving operations have delayed my ability to get to work or get home and on occasion made it impossible to leave The Gulch so I had to work from home. I had hoped all of the paving would have been completed by the middle of this coming week, but now it looks it will take at least a week longer than that.
Welcome to Construction Season!

It’s gotten so bad for the Dems and their MSM flunkies that the “House of Stephanopoulus” has descended to outright lying regarding President Trump. In this case ABC’s Jonathan Karl posted an outright lie that was easily disproven about Qatar allegedly giving Trump a luxury Boeing jet in violation of law. It was an easily disproven lie.
Yes, there is a Boeing jet. Yes, it used to be owned by Qatar. No, it wasn’t a gift.
Instead, it is being modifed by a Texas firm to become an ‘interim’ Air Force One while Boeing still struggles to deliver new jets for use as Air Force One to replace the aging 747’s presently being used.
I figure this is just the beginning of the new propaganda war to discredit Trump and the GOP. The truth need not apply.

Oh, yeah, this is going to get the Left upset, not because of what this group has admitted regarding of what they’re working towards, but because of the reaction that will follow this admission.
College Palestinian Group Admits Their Job Is To Destroy The Unites States.
A Palestinian support group and domestic terror outfit that operates with impunity on many U.S. college campuses has now admitted openly that they see it as their job to destroy the United States of America by subvert our youth.So he has admitted he is an active enemy of the US which means he is fomenting treason, terrorist activities, and doing so on the behalf of adversaries and enemies in the Middle East. Why is this guy still free? Somehow I doubt the First Amendment covers enemy agents working to destroy the government and doing so openly. If he is here on a student visa it should be revoked and he should be deported as an enemy alien.
The group, Students for Justice in Palestine, is responsible for many of the racist, anti-Jewish protests at schools all across the country.
These Muslim terrorists pretend that they are supporting the human rights of so-called “Palestinians” and are protesting “genocide” being perpetrated against Gazans by Israel.

Temple University activist Rishi Arun openly admitted that “It is our job to destroy imperialism, destroy the United States, and destroy capitalism.”
“We will do it by organizing that actively undermines and destabilizes the legitimacy and the power of [the United States],” he adds, “and the power and legitimacy of capitalism,” this terrorist added.
Of course I expect the Left and the Dems in Congress to aid and support this enemy of the US. (Somehow I think they believe that if the support him that they will be seen as friends...but they won’t. He probably wants them dead, too.)

While this sounds interesting, I doubt that it will actually occur.
Meet the potential 51st state: Alberta
Alberta doesn’t belong in this Canada.If it comes to that, will Alberta tell Ottawa “We’re outta here”? Goodness knows they are seeing less and less reasons to remain as part of Canada. A lot of money flows from Alberta to Ottawa and from there to some of the other “less fortunate” provinces...like Quebec, just to name one.
That’s not treason. It’s not even radical. It’s a simple observation of cultural, economic, and political reality — a reality growing starker by the year. Albertans have known for decades that something is deeply broken in the Confederation they were born into. But it’s only recently, as Ottawa’s indifference curdled into hostility, that many have begun asking the inevitable question: What if we left?
Not just to form a new nation. But to join one that already reflects their values. A nation that respects liberty, rewards hard work, and doesn’t treat resource-producing states or provinces like piggy banks and political afterthoughts. A nation that — however imperfect — still believes in the rule of law, in constitutional government, and in the right of free people to govern themselves.
That nation is not Canada. That nation is the United States.
Albertans also dislike their political disfranchisement with Parliament set up to favor the Eastern provinces and a Prime Minister’s office that has been ruling by decree, often “in open contempt of the West.”
Why would anyone want to continue trying to live under conditions that to all intents and purposes makes Albertans nothing more than serfs to the ‘nobles’ in Ottawa.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Alberta votes to leave Canada. But I wouldn’t automatically assume they would then apply for statehood in the US.
But it could happen.

And that’s the abbreviated news from Lake Winnipesaukee, where the weather has been drying out, the paving is restarting, and Monday is returning yet again.
