So tell me, which plague is worse?

December 26, 2019 Skip

Frankly, I think I’d rather have locusts. If Democrat Socialists and their Social Justice Warrior minions truly sent from God, they’re a plague far worse than what the Pharaoh ever had to deal with. Given that they’re here, does that mean we’re in the time of Revelations (heh! Or is that oy vas mir!!!) (H/T: … Read more

BlogQuestion of the Day: So I guess the “Wage Gap” is no longer a relevant question?

December 27, 2019December 26, 2019 Skip

You know, the Left will grab onto anything that is drifting by and weaponize it to forward a political agenda. Fortunately for us on the Right, their Left hand hasn’t figured out what their further Left hand has done or is doing and the same thing with their far Leftist hand. For decades, we’ve heard … Read more

DISQUS Doodlings – as long as I brought up St. Greta Part 1

December 26, 2019 Skip

I just I’d follow up on my previous post on St. Greta Thunberg as over at Tree Hugger (where else, natch?), the eco-socialists / Watermelon Environmentalists HAVE annointed her as a saint. This post turned out to be a longer one than most – ok, I kinda “pushed” things along to make it happen but … Read more

In the never ending saga of eco-socialist St. Greta of Sweden

December 26, 2019December 26, 2019 Skip

Saint you say? How DARE you, Skip! Don’t you remember that the Church of Sweden called her the appointed successor of Jesus Christ? Yeah, well, read Revelations’ admonition about being neither hot or cold as far as TCoS is concerned. The Eco-Socialist movement, well, that’s another thing.

Even at Christmas, it doesn’t stop for Hillary – the “Epstein didn’t hang himself” rides again

December 25, 2019 Skip

(H/T: Powerline)

After all, if you put them on a table, they stay on the table, right?

December 24, 2019 Skip

And Merry Christmas to Hillary who has brought this Epstein meme family upon herself! IMAGINE the fun that would be had by all if the far-away rumors that she’s just waiting for the current crop of Democrat Prez Wannabees to blow themselves and then she reveals herself in a Supergirl cape and screams “I’M RUNNING!”. … Read more

On transgenderism, the emperor has no clothes

December 26, 2019December 24, 2019 Skip

(Note: emphasis mine. Steve posted about Shaun Cooke here. -Skip] ***** A friend of mine recently commented on a Union Leader piece on a “woman” (above)who was being sought after not returning to transitional housing. It was accompanied by a photo of a bald man in a T-shirt with a scruffy beard. She was laughing. “Look … Read more

December 24, 2019December 24, 2019 Skip

First, thanks to all of you that left a comment or emailed Sue Delemus or myself to have your name added to the petition. That was sent to Jerry’s lawyer late yesterday. Given the short amount of time we had to kick this off, it is nice to be able to report that over 250 … Read more

So, What’s the Link Between the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and NH House Democrats?

December 24, 2019 Skip

What’s the Link Between the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and NH House Democrats? Both wish to shut you (and us) up! First, the ones with guns, explosives, and knives that behead people and say “Allahu Akbar!” (reformatted, emphasis mine):

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free

December 23, 2019December 23, 2019 Skip

Do you understand the phrase “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free?” Why should you care about this long time favorite chant of Palestinian terror groups? There has been war over Israel, sometimes hot and open, at other times smoldering and covert since 1948. But why? The meaning of the phrase Freeing … Read more

#19 My Wife Told Me To Get Dressed Up For Professional Christmas Photos. Think I Nailed It

Sometimes, a picture needs no further comment! (H/T: BoredPanda)

“Pillow Fight” is the next Politically Incorrect phrase you can’t say. Just ask GLAAD!

December 23, 2019 Skip

That’s right! From the sector of society that is in perpetual outrage and making stuff up (“…an infinite number of pronouns…“) comes word that the childrens game (and some adults) of pillow fight should never be used. EVAH! It’s demeaning, it’s WAAAY offensive. Just ask GLAAD – the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. Sidenote: … Read more

The Party of “blue collar workers” no more? Thanks, Democrats

December 23, 2019December 23, 2019 Skip

I don’t think that Biden’s answer was all that well thought out – but very much in line with how Democrats feel about fossil fuel regardless of its importance to our economy now. After all, there is that old saying “you can’t make omelettes without breaking a few eggs”; Biden made it clear that even … Read more

Data Point – African Slavery: Distribution

December 23, 2019December 23, 2019 Skip

Today’s history seems to be that the US was founded on slavery and only slavery. No other reason. And when one talks to students nowadays, that’s the number one reason why the US is bad.

BlogThought of the Day to Progressives – what is mine… Right NH State Rep Rosemarie Rung of Merrimack?

December 22, 2019 Skip

Thought for today, week, month, year, decade, eternity: Your “Fair Share” Is Not In My Wallet!!! (H/T: Tom) Democrat Socialists / Progressives (but I repeat myself) have no other idea that “Fair Share” can actually mean that. In practice, the “Fair” part comes in second to “You Don’t Spend It The Way It Should Be” … Read more

Data Point: Homebuilder confidence jumps to highest level in 20 years

Yet another “Man in the Street” interview: Go ahead, college kid, say the Pledge

December 22, 2019 Skip

Pledge of Allegiance (to the United States) – how has this become so controversial? Across the blogosphere, we’ve seen college groups, city councils, Democrat committees, local group, all reject saying what is “I continue to pledge my fealty to the United States.”

Incredible that the Left treats animals better than some kids

December 22, 2019 Skip

We see this “mis-attention” all the time. For instance, we’ve all heard the Left wail about kids crossing the border were housed in cages – a practice blamed on Trump but started by Obama. More locally, NH State Rep Katherine Rogers is all in for not allowing cats to be declawed (HB1387) and acting as … Read more

Palate Cleanser – The Porch Pirate Glitter/Fart Spray is Back!

December 21, 2019 Skip

This time of year, gazillions of packages are left by doors and garages to bring happiness to the recipients (and the delivery companies who do the work and gather the fees – capitalism – gotta love it (even as NH State Senator Dan Feltes hates it).
