I’ve known Erick Erickson for over a decade when I met him at a collection of 49 other State level bloggers called Samsphere that was put together by a (now defunct) Liberty group called, oddly enough, the Sam Adams Alliance. I’m still in touch with some of those bloggers including Jim Hoft who owns The Gateway Pundit.

Data Point – The Granite State! Arms Manufacturer to the US!
I did not know this although with the number of companies in the Second Amendment biz resident in the State, I figured NH to be high on the list – but not THIS HIGH! For the most part, you couldn’t pay me to live in the Northeast. No offense to those of you who live … Read more

What is Critical Race Theory?
I have been gathering a ton of posts on Critical Race Theory – the brainwashing attempt to “prove” that America was racist before it was founded (think The 1619 Project), has been racist during its entire existence, and it always will be. You’ll be hearing a lot from me on this going forward as it … Read more
“In Today’s Woke World, Not Only Do We Have Microaggressions, We Have Microprivileges.”
Eeeeeyah. Micro-aggressions are anything that anyone who is looking to be offended by the tiniest thing will find – and it always is an offense against the Left’s ever-changing situational/ideological ethics/morality.
Data Point – And the Left is ALWAYS Yammering about “Sustainability”?
It is clear that Karl Marx’s mantra “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” applies well to “wealth transfers.” Starting with Social Security under FDR, our Republic has turned into the “take from one to give to another” society.
Stupid Idea: “Sasse Introduces Legislation to Convert Boosted Unemployment Benefits to ‘Signing Bonus’ “
Incentives, when targeted correctly to the right people at the right time for right purpose, work. It invokes “self-interest” of individuals when the value of the incentive is sufficient to overcome any reticent of an individual to NOT do something when the incentive is trying to persuade to YES (or the other way around).
Notable Quote – This is Why the Idea of Equity only matters in ownership of something
There is an additional advantage to a system that encourages, or at least tolerates, multiple sources of decision-making. Not only do human agents differ considerably in their attitudes toward risk; they differ also in their skills, capabilities, and orientations, however those differences may have been acquired. This heterogeneity of the human input, insufficiently stressed in … Read more
BlogQuestion of the Day: So what IS the Purpose of our Spooks?
DISPATCHES FROM THE CARTER BIDEN ADMINISTRATION: As I sat in a gas line discovering my parents’ 70s experience here in North Carolina today, I thought, wouldn’t it be cool if the NSA and our other “intelligence” agencies had spent more of their time helping companies defend vital infrastructure like pipelines and less building giant facilities so they can illegally spy … Read more
Court Orders City of Nashua to Hand Over the Records in Citizen’s Right To Know Request
The City of Nashua, under the Administration of Mayor Jim Donchess and “Right to Know Coordinator” Jesse Neumann, decided that they were above the law. Refusing to provide “responsive records” claiming the demand was “overly broad” or (get this) too unorganized to get the records (I wonder if this is on purpose?).
Notable Quote – I Have to Keep Saying This Because So Many Haven’t Learned It
An objective look at the limitation of our knowledge – how difficult is it to know whether we are making good decisions even in our own lives, let alone in those of anyone else? – reveals that in fact we are typically in no position to judge what is good for others.
Yes, Your Town Has Them Too – Free Riders
I experienced this personally on the last day of my last term as a Budget Committee member in my town so this ISN’T just a problem at the county, State, or National levels.
TreeHugger Letting the Mask Drop – Are You a Subject or a Citizen? Part 2
Equality or Equity? This really is THE defining moment and point of the day. Normal Americans believe in the real history of how this Country was birthed and the Principles upon which we stand.
Homes for Our Troops to Kick-off Building of Specially Adapted Custom Home for Injured Soldier in Derry, NH
DERRY, N.H. – The national nonprofit organization Homes For Our Troops (HFOT) will kick off the building of a specially adapted custom home for Army Sergeant Brandon Korona on Saturday, May 15, 2021.
TreeHugger Letting the Mask Drop – Are You a Subject or a Citizen?
I spent a lot of my time today playing chauffeur to TMEW (she drives very little nowadays) and the Grandson (at 5 yo, wants to but…). Far more than I expected. The rest of the time, I discovered that after a period of relatively non-controversial posts, TreeHugger had taken a hard left-hand turn.
A Free Speech Case or a School Overreach Case?
Is this a Free Speech Case or a School Overreach Case? Kind of both. Under the guise of Free Speech, a School Board is about to get their buttocks reddened by a policy that students (your kids) are THEIR kids 24/7/365.
Data Point – Whose Carbon Emissions are Out of Control? Not the US’s
I grow weary of the US being the world’s whipping boy for almost every evil in the world. The Eco-Socialists are always blaming us yet even as our population went from 203 million people to 327 million, our emissions stayed relatively flat. So as our population went up by 50%, per capita emissions went down. … Read more
This School Board Policy Codifies Lying to Parents
If your School Board has anything like ours, there is a GREAT little gem in there that allows the School Boards and the Staff to lie to you, the Parents, about your child.
Data Point – So, You Believe China When Xi Says Their Emissions are Going to go Down?
If you Believe China when Xi says their emissions are going to go down I’ve got bridges to sell you and places where land and water intermix (kinda smelly, though, with things there that might want to eat you).
Is This Part of the Discrimination Training that the Hanover School District is Teaching Its Staff and YOUR CHILDREN?
We have the receipts! Or, to be perfectly truthful, one of them. But first, this message! But ask yourself – is this the training that Janice Starkey took as well?
