Democrats Claim DACA kids shouldn’t have to pay for their parent’s crimes…
The operative question should always be: “Who Chooses?” You or someone whose decision you will have to follow? “Taxation is Theft” is but one answer to that question.
Gosh, what an eye-opener, given that all the folks that are virtue-yelling at the rest of us are Fine Upstanding People of the Progressive Nature. They are the ones that are wailing about their White Guilt and yet here they are opposing a school integration program with poor kids of color.
As Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit said, “This is cool”. Yes, and otherwordly beautiful as well. “SpaceX Falcon 9 Creates a ‘twilight phenomenon. This is breathtaking.”
This ad is actually a fempto-documentary – the things that are in it can easily be found online from that the unions themselves have either said or written to School Boards around the nation.
While not an official GraniteGrok endorsement, all GraniteGrok writers have the authority to personally endorse people for elected office they feel best to fill that particular position. I am taking advantage of that now for the NH House of Representatives. The first three are in my District: Belknap County 2 (Gilford/Meredith). Glenn, Harry, and Mike … Read more
As Sun Tzu said, “Know your enemy.” We can no longer refer to “Liberals” as being, well, liberal. They are manifestly showing themselves to be extremely illiberal and totalitarian. Demanding that everyone thinks and lived according to their senses of some dystopia Utopia.
“[E]quity,” (is) a euphemism for racial, gender and other discrimination. It’s the opposite of equal opportunity, it’s demanding equal results even if it means discriminating against some people on the basis of race, ethnicity or other immutable factors.
Teachers have forgotten that they’re in the customer service business. In fact, they’ve forgotten they have customers that just happened to have outsourced their responsibility to teach their kids to others. Now, they may well be taking that responsibility back because of bad customer service.
Every year, around 250,000 bikers ride into the Laconia / Lakes Region here in NH to blow off steam and have a good time (noted: as the years go by and the grey has set in, the amount and heat of steam have dissipated) around their common interest of bikes.
“My wife, who is apparently a glutton for punishment, listened to an entire Arlington County school board meeting last night. School is online only indefinitely. She reports there was great concern expressed about, and discussion of how to help:”

I’ll spoil it upfront – I believe the life of an unborn child is sacrosanct. Bruce Currie, our resident Bernie-Bro? You decide. Over at Beth’s “State Sen. Cindy Rosenwald Must Disavow Racist Ties.”
SHOT: De Blasio announces $10K fines, checkpoints for travelers flouting NYC quarantine:: “Out-of-state travelers could face up to $10,000 in fines if they break New York City’s two-week quarantine rule and checkpoints will be set up at entry points into the city, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Wednesday.”
This makes for a good UPDATE to my “Quick Thought – Being Colorblind, I See You JUST Fine.” That was in answer to the idea that “If you’re color blind, that means you don’t even see me.”
For those of us around at that time, what teacher’s unions are hinting at sounds like “PATCO” more and more.
