A “So What” attitude towards the lockdown?

August 1, 2020August 1, 2020 Skip

Published with permission from a very Loyal Reader – Kathleen LaBonte My conversation at the NH State House with a young mother with her baby, and a slightly older woman. ME: what do you know or think about Governor Sununu’s shutdown of our economy and businesses. Older woman: He needs to shut down more businesses! … Read more

The hijacking of Western Civilization – the Barbarians live amongst us and we trained them.

July 31, 2020 Skip

On Sunday’s episode of “The Candace Owens Show,” Candace sat down with author Dinesh D’Souza. They discussed how the left hijacked the education system and exploited George Floyd’s death to further racial division. In this clip, Candace began the conversation with a heartfelt explanation for why she believes the education system in America is a … Read more

So protecting unborn babies is now RAAACIST?

July 31, 2020July 31, 2020 Skip

Flabbergasted. I just have no idea how these people go from point A to point “KILL THE BABIES or you’re a racist!”! Over at PJ Media comes the news that two Congressional Socialists have twisted the original intent of both the Hyde and Helms Amendments (preventing taxpayer monies to be expended domestically and internationally on … Read more

Notable Quote – Nathan Rosenberg and L.E. Birdzell Jr

July 31, 2020July 31, 2020 Skip

Historically, one of the most distinctive features of capitalist economies has been the practice of decentralizing authority over investments to substantial numbers of individuals who stand to make large personal gains if their decisions are right, who stand to lose heavily if their decisions are wrong, and who lack the economic or political power to prevent … Read more

‘Wokeness is Being Pushed on Everyone’

July 31, 2020 Skip

I wouldn’t have expected to see an article so aptly named out of Sp!ked but sometimes you can find diamonds in a trash dump. They had an interview with a Helen Pluckrose on why we are seeing such nuttiness from the Left. The woke, the SJWs, the Karens, seemingly in such short order and time frames.

Once again, is Trump baiting the Left by saying that delaying the 2020 elections might be in the cards?

July 31, 2020July 30, 2020 Skip

I have to admit, I really didn’t think of this angle from Instapundit: “UPDATE: A friend on Facebook comments: “The left is going bonkers over this.”

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).
