Friday Open Thread – Don’t you wish you could print your OWN money? Like Xiden?

May 28, 2021 Skip

Not satisfied with spending packages totaling $5-$6 Trillion dollars, now President Asterisk want to up the Federal spending from about $4.2 Trillion to over $6 Trillion. How much more selfish can he get? That’s what I’d be talking about…. …but this isn’t about me – it’s your turn your rants into shining moments! Get’er done!

Lying to Parents – Superintendent’s Response is Sheer Laziness – Beitler restarts “the pattern”

May 28, 2021May 28, 2021 Skip

A bit of a recap here: The Gilford School Board, in its Policy JBAB, codifies Lying to Parents, either by commission or omission, when it comes to their children relative to their gender dysphoria/transgenderism. It has declared that, in this Dillon’s Rule state, that it has such power to grant a new Right to an Individual.

Spontaneous Order vs Top-Down Command Order: differences in a Nursery School

May 28, 2021 Skip

I’m betting you’re a bit puzzled by that title. How can there be “order” in a Nursery School with two classrooms full of 3, 4, 5, and 6-year-olds (and in the case of the Grandson, the latter two ages)? Complete chaos, yes.

Libs Will Wear Masks Just to Prove They’re Not Conservatives? We’re Good With That!

May 28, 2021 Skip

So, another story from the heart of the scientifically illiterate. The emotionally overwrought living in Mandatory Maskland’s like Nashua; they officially rescinded the city mask mandate yesterday but encourage a continued devotion to this fake-security blanky.

Palate Cleanser: You Have To Admit, The Name is Out-Of-The-Box Thinking…

May 28, 2021May 28, 2021 Skip

Yesterday was a rather lightweight day for me. Don’t worry, today will either get better – or maybe not. Only time, motivation, and a propensity to give in to the willingness to give in to distractions will tell.

PragerU: If Socialism is “All That,” Why Haven’t You MOVED to a Socialist Country?

May 27, 2021 Skip

If you really DO believe that Socialism or Communism is “all that,” why haven’t you MOVED to a country that is full-bore as far as your beliefs go? Whatcha ‘fraid of, putting your life where your mouth is?

It Seems the American People Aren’t Buying That Leftist Foolishness, “Assigned at Birth”

May 27, 2021 Skip

If you’re immersed in the Politics Pool like we are, we see this all the time “Assigned at birth.” That outright silliness and stupidity of those words strung together by those who are pushing the Transgender mantras.

Data Point: Cost of a Comfortable Retirement in America

May 27, 2021May 27, 2021 Skip

Of course, Northeast and West Coast have the highest costs. Given that many of us here in NH are transplants, is NH higher or lower than the State of your birth? Click to embiggen. (H/T: HowMuch.net)

Is Joe Biden Better than Barack Obama at “Selling Guns?”

May 26, 2021 Skip

Is Joe Biden better than Barack Obama as a gun salesman? And when you look at the numbers are they a proxy for “general unrest” across the country?

So, NH Gov Sununu, THIS is What Critical Race Theory holds: “The Constitution Should be Burned”

May 26, 2021 Skip

Sununu has infamously said that he would ban HB544 (which disallows teaching the principles of CRT via tax monies), either as a standalone bill or embedded into the Budget bill.

The Left Not Only Doesn’t Trust the Masses It Is Fearful Of Us

May 26, 2021 Skip

The Left not only doesn’t trust the masses it is fearful of us. They understand that Freedom to choose by others is an existential threat both to their top-down order and to their inner selves as well.

Promoted from the Comments – When Government calls an Entitlement a “Right”

May 26, 2021 Skip

From my post “Promoted from the Comments – The Proper Role of Government” comes along a different way of saying the same thing. Frequent Commenter and Contributor Nitzakhon:

Transgenderism isn’t about Transgenderism. It’s about Leftist Politics

May 25, 2021 Skip

A few days ago, this made the rounds under the rubric that Conservative females are far more attractive than Progressive ones.

Gee, Is This How Hudson Selectmen Treat Their Constituents? Er, update

May 25, 2021 Skip

Yesterday, I shared a Right To Know (“RTK”) demand to see the minutes of a non-public session. Seems like they decided to disobey the law (RSA 91:A) and not provide the “responsive records” that would satisfy the demand.

UPDATE: Since I started this yesterday, there’s been an update – the non-public minutes have been forwarded. Note, however, how BRIEF they are compared to the public session minutes. See at the end of this post. And noticed that the embarrassed one refused to sign the non-public session notes.

Socialists Just Don’t Understand “Spontaneous Order”

May 25, 2021 Skip

Bernie-Bro-Socialists continue to believe that a single person, or a cabal of such minded people, has the talent and wherewithal to control an entire nation’s economy. Easy – peasy, they say, with never a look back over their “History shoulder” to be abused of that notion.

NH Citizens Are Demanding Accountability – This Time, in Hudson

May 24, 2021 Skip

People are demanding more from their Government(s). No, not the “Gimme” groupies whose raison d’etre in life is to persuade more Government officials (elected, appointed, or employees) that they deserve more free stuff by obligating others to provide that free stuff.

If The Left Thinks We’re “Dog Whistle” People – Isn’t that Bullying?

May 24, 2021 Skip

I’m on all kinds of Left-wing, Democrat, Progressive, and Socialist email lists. A lot of times, however, people send me (and Steve) stuff as well. A LOT of stuff. We both apologize if not being able to share all of (or most of it) but we DO take note.
