This is a replay, in almost real-time, of the sponsors of HB1159 that talked about “cyberstalking” where people were sending us tips and, well gosh, we’d write about what they had said and done.

Jury Duty – determining Innocence/Guilt – or is it about Liberties?
As I was (FINALLY!) selected to be a part of a Jury pool, I’m going through the slow process of going from “selected” to “acceptable”. That entailed, because of COVID-19, an online survey of 50 questions, then a virtual “hearing” in which the prosecutor and then the defending lawyers had the chance to question me … Read more
Would You Let Any Politician Run Your Business?
Would you let any politician run your business? If the answer is no, WHY would you EVER let them run, in part, an entity that controls not just your business but you and your family? Are you NUTS?
Trump’s America vs. Biden’s America
We have a family that is: Large – how DARE they have more than 2 kids! Environmentalism means ZERO kids because there’s too many people on Earth already!
So, you REALLY want all your devices on the Internet? Hahahahahahaha!
Back in the day, I wanted a smart home (I’ve said that before somewhere in here). I even bought a number of X-10 modules for alerts and lights along with a module to hook up to my then ancient PC. To control and manage various kinds of stimuli (e.g., door/window opens, day to night, break-ins, date or time-based events) and commands.
Gracie Gato? I doubt it as you can’t help yourself
So Steve had tipped me off to this post of her “Open letter To the Granitegrok” (as in a “love letter”) at her Granite State Buzz – heh! Once again, we see a Progressive female wanting to be treated equally getting upset because, well, I treated her like I would any man.
Everyone ‘Here’ Is All Happy Dance That Newsom Just Crowned Himself King
The eco-Socialists at Treehugger joyfully embraced California Governor Newsom’s unilateral Executive Order. To radically change Californians’ lives by no longer allowing gas-powered vehicles to be sold beginning in 2035. But he also said that gas cars could still be used up to and after that date.
Quick Thought – ACB Confirmation Hearing: US Senate Democrats Are Showing Their Pigheadedness Again
I have the hearing on in my office as I’m going about my blogging day. One thing is clear: Democrats are all BEMOANING that they are about to lose their hold on what they consider “their” supra-legislature branch of Government – the Supreme Court of the United States.
Notable Quote – Society vs Government
Just as the Founders considered and created a Constitution that would guarantee the Separation of Powers, the philosophy behind it was to set up bulwarks to deny people the ability to aggregate power unto themselves and their special interests.
So, Now the Left Wants More “Economic Colonialism”?
All we’ve been hearing about lately is racism, incipient bias, BLM, oppression, unconscious bias, police brutality, equity (LeftSpeak for quotas), inequalities, the list seems never-ending. One word, however, that has only been mentioned in passing has been “colonialism.”
Translating Outbound U-Hauls Into Tax Revenues (Downward)
San Francisco and California have made themselves shining examples. Couldn’t happen to a better City and State. When you make yourselves unhealthy to live in from a financial standpoint, no amount of “Best weather in the US” (frankly, Hawai’i is better).
Bitter Clingers, Deplorables…..and now Maggots?
Yep, for sure – Keith Olbermann, who should really stick to reporting and commenting on sports, has decided to go all Jim Carey (who really should just stick to just acting), and showed us all how unhinged one’s TDS can make them.
Biden on Court Packing: “No, They Don’t Deserve to Know”
Nancy Pelosi famously said that in order to figure out what was in Obamacare, they (the US House, US Senate, and President) had to pass it first. That day was one of the worst, if not THE worst, days in Legislative history.
“Facebook Lets Activists Restrict My Videos Based on Something I Never Said.”
This is an ongoing problem with Facebook that they won’t acknowledge by actually DOING something. Oh, they’ll issue a non-apology apology. Say it was a mistake or that an “algorithm” screwed things up. Except that the vast majority of mistakes and the screwups involve conservatives taking it in the shorts.
DISQUS Doodlings – And With a Single Word (WuFlu) I’m a Racist
I got called a racist. Not that it’s much of a surprise. It’s a typical argument ender by the Left when they have nothing better to say. They just can’t help hurling epithets, thinking that everyone else would understand that Their Emotions Trump EVERYTHING (see what I did there?); end of discussion.
DISQUS Doodlings – It’s the “How It Is Being Done” That Is Wrong. Right?
Last month, California made the decision that it was going to tell the tide of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to go out and never return. Of course, this got much play – that only electric cars and trucks would be allowed. Petroleum-based vehicles would be illegal to be sold.
Palate Cleanser – would YOU jump off a 10 meter platform?
I’ve done it in the past when I was MUCH younger. Got back up and did it again but that first time? A regular board is easy, five meter not much harder. It IS a lot different for a 10. Just ask these folks (if you are bilingual – thank God for subtitles). Be careful, … Read more
Data Point – Polling on Amy Coney Barrett’s SCOTUS nomination
Not that it matters but it seems that all political factions are warming up to Trump’s nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsberg on the US Supreme Court: Now, this will have NO impact on the actual process – the Constitution says that the President SHALL nominate and that the … Read more
Economic Recovery is slow, Susan Page?
That was one of the “issues” that Susan Page (USA Today), the moderator of the VP Debate between VP Pence and Kamala Harris, had on her plate. Problem is, well, you’ll see: SHOT: “Vice President Pence, your administration has been predicting a rapid and robust recovery, but the latest economic reports suggest that is not … Read more
Notable Quote – “We Are on the Precipice as a Nation Right Now…”
The problem with Democrats is they want Government to do EVERYTHING for everyone and are willing to take away Liberty from some to be able to give stuff to others.
