Democrats: Look at all these PEACEFUL protesters. Every single one in every single Democrat run “Urban Area”

July 31, 2020July 30, 2020 Skip

Peaceful? PEACEful? PEACEFUL? (a take off of Bueller….anyone?) That would be “cities” for you and me. And in a lot of cases, in particular Mayor Wheeler of Portland (who joined with the protesters who later turned on him in that old saw “The Left eventually eats its own”), those mayors and governors have all decided … Read more

THIS is Delayed Gratification!

July 30, 2020 Skip

One of my (and should be EVERYONE’S!) pet peeves is the Left’s utter denigration of delayed gratification. The sense of putting off immediate desires for better outcomes in the future.

UNH Servey Center: “Shaheen and Sununu lead challengers in Reelection Bids”

July 30, 2020 Skip

DURHAM, NH – Senator Jeanne Shaheen and Governor Chris Sununu hold large leads over their major challengers in their bids for reelection. Shaheen’s leads over Republicans Don Bolduc and Corky Messner have remained steady since February.

BlogQuestion of the Day – horrible for those trapped within it but they decided to make it all political

July 29, 2020 Skip

Most of the mayors whose cities are convulsing with violence have Democrat Mayors. In fact, they’ve had such for decades…some all the way back to 1968 – so they should know better. That was the last time that this country exploded with political violence.

How About a Taste of That Famed Democrat “Civility”…

July 27, 2020 Skip

The Reverand Al Sharpton called President Trump a bigot (and Al knows a thing or two about being a bigot). That’s “civility.” Michelle Malkin was beaten by BLM thugs and prevented from speaking at a Denver pro-police rally.

“If You’re Against Racism, Then You Should Be a Capitalist”

July 27, 2020 Skip

“Capitalism can’t stop people from being racist but it makes them pay a price for it.” And if you don’t believe that quote, listen to the entire video for the context behind it. Are you listening, Black Lives Matter allies and adherents? This is VERY MUCH worth your time!

Did Berniece Van Der Berg (Co-Founder of the Moonlight Meadery): Really Pay Attention in Facebook class?

July 27, 2020 Skip

This little clip at WMUR was brought to my attention: “Business owners get advice from Facebook on how to succeed on social media“. When I went traipsing over to see what it was, there she was – bright and cheery:

Police: “You are on your own.” Civilian Disarmament Groups: Why is Everyone Buying Guns?

July 27, 2020 Skip

Why are all the gun grabbers are confused that the number of people buying gun sales and taking firearms training classes have gone off the charts? Wait for it: Police Tell Business Owners in Seattle ‘You’re on Your Own.’

Blogline of the Day – Karma, it burns

July 26, 2020 Skip

Radio host mocks Trump by claiming Seattle is peaceful, then rioters torched his apartment building. Seattle radio host and Twitter-based criminal defense advocate Paul Gallant “dunked” on President Donald Trump last month by denying that the riots are violent, then the radio host was scored on by rioters who set fire to his apartment. Now … Read more

If they aren’t willing to do the time, then we should take away the dime

The above is the SHOT – and now… CHASER: He’s right – WHY would we want to hand over our kids to be educated by those that DON’T WANT TO BE THERE? These same folks that have not only said that they don’t want to be there educationally but are making demands that have NOTHING … Read more

Berniece Van Der Berg (Co-Founder of the Moonlight Meadery) called Al Baldasaro a “Predator?

July 26, 2020 Skip

Smooth move, Berniece Van Der Berg – calling prior Marine, and NH State Representative Al Baldasaro a “predator”? Or actually, “PREDATOR” in all caps. As in “AL BALDASARO IS A PREDATOR”.

Blogline of the Day – Rated True. Just ask Jennifer Horn

July 26, 2020 Skip

She and Hillary: ‘Trump Might Not Accept The Results Of The 2020 Election,’ Says Movement That Still Hasn’t Accepted Results Of 2016 Election. Yes, Bruce, a funny. (H/T: Instapundit)

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Succumbs to the Heckler’s Veto (Like Most Supine Democrat-Run-City Mayors)

July 26, 2020 Skip

Both the Seattle and Portland (Oregon) mayors have suspended the Rule of Law in their cities. Portland has had more than 55 days of violent and crime-ridden rioting. Seattle is allowing Antifa to own the streets and an “Antifa” candidate is running for mayor there to prove how much worse it can get.

Data Point – NH WuFlu Deaths versus “Normal” Deaths

July 25, 2020July 25, 2020 Skip

Death is normal – until the Second Coming (let’s see how many get THAT reference) and that isn’t going to change for any of us. Your death will happen just like Democrats will continue to raise your taxes (and sometimes you just wanna die over that fact).

No, I refuse to pay money to Twitter if they go to a subscription model

July 25, 2020 Skip

It was bad enough that they put GraniteGrok into a year’s long Catch-22 Twitter Jail for whatever reason some SJW there thought. I couldn’t get a straight answer out of them at all.

Another private school system outdoes Government schools and the unions that run them.

How schooling is done right. Can we call the Success Network charter school network the “Marines of Education” – here’s the mission, let’s get it done!

New York Times: White Parents are the problem with Education

So, according to the New York Times, white parents are the problem with education. Yep, we are the problem. Parents. White Parents. Or as they put it: “Nice White Parents.”

Notable Quote – Susan Venker

July 24, 2020July 24, 2020 Skip

Trying to change the culture does not always result in the “progress” the Progressive-Socialists Feminists claim. Because change almost always keeps going past its optimal “FORWARD” and into mistake and misery. That is the hubris that THEY know what is best and not seeing or admitting their own lack of expertise.

The Co-Founder of the Moonlight Meadery in Londonderry – join the Email Train Part 3; two factoids

July 24, 2020 Skip

So, it seems that Berniece Van Der Berg, co-founder of Moonlight Meadery, has had run-ins with other Republicans – and one of her targets (she seems to be in the camp of the eternally offended/chip on shoulder by the way she writes) sent this in:

Nashua: A City without Leadership

July 24, 2020 Skip

Most residents do not understand how much money it is costing us when the City of Nashua retains assessors who do not care about the quality of their work. The result is literally tens of thousands of our tax dollars being erroneously and irresponsibly given away.
