If US House Rep Ro Khanna’s attitude was around when TMEW and I ran our daycare center, he would have shut us down in a heartbeat. Without a care in the world for what had gone into saving an almost failed business at the time, we bought it. But here he is.

GrokMeetup – Reminder: Tomorrow!
BUMPED II: I am EXCITED and looking forward to seeing you all at our reboot of our GrokMeetups – where you get to yak with the authors from GraniteGrok. And tomorrow is the day! Well, evening to get technical. If you can, let me know if your coming (if you haven’t already) – thanks!
Who Are the Public Masters and Who Are the Public Servants?
There is an ongoing sense that our society has been turned upside down. We, as in We the People, versus the folks that we “hire.” Hire to either represent us or hire as employees to do the tasks that we’ve decided to outsource rather than do ourselves.
Palate Cleanser – It Is Too Cute Not to Double up Today
One Palate Cleanser a day is generally enough but this was fun to watch:
Notable Quote – Slavery Laws finally met the Law of Economics
Of course, with many employers, each attempting to maximize wealth, competition for workers would soon force the wage up to a level at which it equalled the actual value of the worker’s labor services to the firm.
Betcha You Don’t See This in a Homeschooling Situation
Do you want your kids in this situation – getting the snot beat out of them in class? Or even worse, the child that’s instigated this battle in a classroom?
Palate Cleanser – Walking boat for SEALs?
Hmmm, both good and bad aspects here on this, I think The Navy’s New High-Speed Boat Crawls Onto Land The Interceptor doesn’t stop where the water ends. Sure, the French-made Iguana Interceptor is a high-speed boat. But it’s also capable of deploying tank-like tracks that let it leave the water and crawl onto land. The Navy plans … Read more
New Hampshire’s Education Choice Moment
“I think that eventually, school choice is going to be part of education.” Those were the words of Democratic state Rep. Barbara Shaw of Manchester, as she voted in the House Education Committee on Thursday to retain House Speaker Sherm Packard’s Education Freedom Accounts bill.
Friday Open Thread – Now they don’t even want Trump to be buried
Now they don’t even want Trump to be buried…at least in Arlington. And will not allow monuments / statues / et al named after Trump. These Democrats just cannot just win, they are BOUND to act like Banana Republic tin-pot despots seeking retribution on Trump 360 degrees.
Promoted from the Comments – Teacher Currie has Clue Zero About “Compare and Contrast”
Grokster Ian had a short but apt comparison of schools vs doctors over time as an Object Lesson: School Funding: A lot changes in a century, except in schools. I liked it and the entire text is here (yes, it’s that short; reformatted, emphasis mine).
United Way was supposed to raise money for other charities, right? Guess what now…
The United Way was supposed to raise money for other charities, right? Not so much, not anymore. They’ve decided (at least in Illinois) that their job is our re-education on how race quotas should work, probably because we are all racists.
Rest In Peace – Rush Limbaugh passes at 70
Word has come that THE Premiere Conservative radio talker in the United States has passed away – Rush Limbaugh of lung cancer. He will be sorely missed by those of us on the Right. However, I’m betting that the Left, once again, will be bouncing up and down in joy with all of the usual … Read more
Why Can’t Johnny Get a Job?
The story from the employers or human resource officers over the past 10 years hasn’t changed. For every ten applicants for an entry-level job, over half cannot pass a simple literacy test.
It isn’t about Brady Winning Without Belichick, it’s About the Ratings
Do you know what the real story is? It isn’t about Brady winning without Belichick, it’s about the ratings (Bwahahahahahaha!). Reformatted, emphasis mine:
Constitutional Carry rolls on – Utah joins those States wholly honoring the US Constitution
Amendment 2, US Constitution: A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. Shall not be infringed means exactly that – no infringement. Any time a gun control weenie yammers about “common sense”, ask them to graph … Read more
Notable Quote – There’s a reason we don’t need to rejoin the Paris Accord
It is because we have become MORE efficient at our energy usage than the rest of the world: In the ten years from 2008, America’s economy grew by 15 per cent but its energy use fell by 2 per cent. This is not because the American economy is generating fewer products; it’s producing more. It … Read more
Tom Murray and Ken Eyring on the Windham AccuVote machines – Keith Hanson show
Yesterday, Grokster Ken Eyring and Tom Murray were on the Keith Hanson’s The Daily Review to talk about what has been going on in Windham since the November election and the hand recount. Take a listen! Segment 1: Segment 2: Thanks to Keith Hanson for sharing these with us!
Friday Open Thread – SHAMPEACHMENT!
And I haven’t watched a moment of it (except for surfing through it). IMHO, the outcome is preordained…but that’s just me but this threat is about YOU! Let’s see who can come up even better stuff than I, eh?
Well, President Asterisk has just made this US Policy, right? And no one has a choice about it.
That’s my favorite question nowadays: “Who Chooses”? Do you chose for yourself or are others (in Government) taking that choice away from you? Under which regimen do you want to live your life? Yep, President Biden, via Executive Order, just decided to wipe out women’s participation in their own sports, especially at the highest level of sports.
Notable Quote – WHOSE “Democracy”?
Reformatted, emphasis mine:
Who’s a Threat to ‘Our Democracy’?
When progressives single out threats to ‘our democracy,’ what they mean is their democracy.
