What some won’t do for getting eyeballs. Yes, one of our mantras is “…what amuses us. This amused me. Trampoline meets car (after a few smaller things first).

Data Point – Best and Worst Taxed States
While NH Progressives focus ONLY on property tax, in New Hampshire the overall tax burden is always one of the lowest in the nation. But Democrats never, EVER want to talk about that.
Palate Cleanser: Yes, From Time to Time, Even Real Life Gets Fuzzy.
Does jealousy extend to the quantum levels? Is it that ingrained in us? And yes, I thought the image itself was “amusing”. (H/T: Powerline)
Risk Just Isn’t Fundamental, It Is an Absolute Necessity
Risk just isn’t fundamental, it is an absolute necessity. This is one reason why Progressivism always fails – it is ALWAYS trying to not just reduce risk in Society, it tries (sadly) to remove it completely.
A Tale of Cancel Culture – Daring to Question Black Lives Matter
The Left is vindictive and of a hive mind. Like a swarm of killer bees (as we’ve seen on GraniteGrok, the Bickfords in Gilford and newly elected NH State Rep Dawn Johnson of Laconia), they come from near and wide not to disagree with you in a debate, but to Silence you.
Christmas Cheer – Oh, Holy Night
This time by Home Free – another acapella group I recognize from “The Spin-off”. Great bass singer as well! (H/T: OldManNH for the song tip!)
Next time NH Democrats start yammering about “Dark Money” in campaigns, remember this:
Note the last question below: LEFT’S NON-PROFIT FUNDING LEAD KEEPS GROWING: Michael Watson and Shane Devine of the Capital Research Center (CRC) update through the 2018 campaign the center’s ongoing study comparing charitable funding resources for the Left and Right and finds the former’s advantage continues to expand. “In the 2017–2018 cycle, the 301 groups supported by … Read more
Data Point – Top 10 Car Producing Countries
A rather interesting “infographic” video that show the car production of the top 10 countries over time – I was a bit surprised at the end how many cars the top country was manufacturing: (H/T: Leo)
What Colleges Were About and What They Are Now
Excerpted from a long piece by Victor Davis Hanson, about how the Left bastardized and indoctrinated our former institutes of learning into Progressive Boot Camps. Churning out students, not schooled in Classic Western Liberalism, but as Anti-Western ideals victims.
A Good Guy With a Gun – the “Give Me All Your Money” Customer Meets the “Concealed Carry Customer”
With the “Defund the Police” movement still in full swing (and those in favor of it showing us the full dunce-hattedness of it), the Second Amendment is roaring full steam back into being a primary Right – at least with We the People.
Christmas Cheer – Pentatonix: 12 days of Christmas
I love acapella groups and one of the best has consistently been Pentatonix ever since they won “The Sing-off” in its third season (a show I wish NBC would bring back as it featured both college, choir, and professionals). Here, they perform “The 12 Days of Christmas”: (H/T: TMEW)
Notable Quote: The Welfare State – the greatest means of control over a population ever created
That is, besides an evil Government that disarms its citizenry and then uses ITS guns to control people. Emphasis mine: The poverty we have today is spiritual poverty. Spiritual poverty is an absence of what traditionally has been known as various human virtues. Much of that spiritual poverty is a result of public and private … Read more
Ordinances, Regulations, Statutes, Constitutions I Get – Same Question on “Guidelines”?
Ordinances, regulations, statutes, constitutions I get – same question on “guidelines”? Or, “guidance” as well. I’ve remarked before WHY are we supposed to “obey” these nebulous orders from either bureaucrats or Unitary Executives?
Are we gonna start seeing “Paying your taxes is Patriotic!” again? Shameless
Well, we’re already seeing that with Biden apparently winning the Oval Office (but remember that the political Fat Lady hasn’t sung yet), Democrats are already starting to “fall back in love” with the American flag (KTVU) after 4 years of all-but-despising it because Trump was President (whereas most on the Right ALWAYS are in love … Read more
A Treehugger state of mind – from showerheads to BitCoin
They wanted to control showerheads and now your wealth. Again (as if you needed reminding), the THers are, like any kind of Socialists, are Government-centric. ONLY Government can do “good” things and nothing should be outside the ken of said Government. And they show their disdain quite easily: SHOT: 12/2018 – Good news: Bitcoin is becoming … Read more
The Feds should never have been in our toilets and showers anyways
Back in August / September, I blogged about a TreeHugger post “Good News for the Rich: Their Fancy Showers Can Waste More Water” in that head honcho Lloyd was some upset that the Trump Administration was going to do what the Left said they wanted Government to do about bedrooms (at least for years and … Read more
DISQUS Doodlings – Treehugger want ‘political unity’. Hahahahahahaha!
I am convinced that all of the Left DOES want “unity” or “political unity”. What they WON’T admit to, obviously, is that Unity means “You need to be like us. Change.”. Yeah, that’s the ticket to Nowhere for most of we Conservative / Free Marketers. And as you all know (since I’ve been telling you … Read more
So why does the US suffer such “Homelessness”?
Research Fellow Christopher Rufo takes a little more than 12 minutes in a compelling vidumentary to dissect why the homelessness problem keeps getting worse even as officials spend increasing billions of tax dollars on illusory solutions, then points to the actual causes and how to make measurable progress. Genuine compassion begins with facing reality. Compassion … Read more
Palate Cleanser – drones flying through a “forest” and maintaining formation
This ain’t easy, folks. And the simulation / real time display of what is being considered is kinda cool. Remember, this is all under computer control – humans aren’t controlling them: Weaving through dense woods is a challenge for even the smartest drone. Trying to do it as part of a swarm is orders of … Read more
