As I have said countless times, Government schools truly believe that your kids really aren’t yours – the kids, ALL kids, belong to them. I’ve heard teachers say it. I’ve heard administrators say it. Sometimes by nuance and sometimes straight out (a “gaffe” as it is called).

Notable Quote – Operation Gaslight-to-the-End?
Their tactics…our response? Reformatted, emphasis mine: …This event was complicated. Among other things, it highlighted how differently the police may respond to one group and not another. Antifa and BLM were allowed to destroy huge swaths of many cities across America, rioting with impunity using firearms, bats, bricks, fireworks, Molotov cocktails, fists, and just about anything you … Read more
Palate Cleanser – and what would Christmas be without Glitter Bomb 3.0!
Ah yes, the ode to Porch Pirates everywhere – please leave us alone or you’ll look like a clown and smell like a skunk. Plus, we get to see and hear it all.
“In his own self-interest”; Capitalism encourages altruism
It may be the most common criticism of free enterprise, the economic system that has produced more wealth spread across by far the widest portion of people in all of human history: It’s all based on selfishness and greed.
At a Loss for Words: “Judge Won’t Try Black Man in Courtroom With White Portraits”
I think everyone should be treated equally – until they show that they shouldn’t be. On an individual basis – YOU make me decide whether to treat you as an equal or as someone less than your posterior.
After Watching the Watermelon Drop, I Knew the Rest Would Be Awesome!
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?
