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

December 22, 2019 Skip

Builder confidence in the newly built, single-family home market jumped 5 points in December to 76, the highest reading since June 1999. Current sales conditions rose 7 points to 84, sales expectations in the next six months rose 1 point to 79 and buyer traffic increased 4 points to 58. Regionally, on a three-month moving … Read more

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).

Once again, the anti-Christian Left lies

December 21, 2019 Skip

Click through the link to read how the Left says one thing and then turns around and proves themselves wrong and to be liars.

Of course he did – which is why Feltes should never be allowed access to the Governor’s office.

December 21, 2019 Skip

Well ain’t this just dandy. First thought by NH Senator Dan Feltes (who is also running to be the next NH Governor + NH Rep Garrett Muscatel) is to run to Government and grab its magical Thor hammer (Thor’s was named Mjöllnir – Feltes’ is called Socialism’s Revenge) and start smacking around private enterprise: NH … Read more

Trump more powerful than you can possibly imagine

And the end result of the Democrat Impeachment clown show is…..

December 20, 2019December 20, 2019 Skip

Donald Trump now up over all of the major candidates: In the second poll in two days to show his advantage, the latest YouGov/Economist “electability” survey found the president leading the top tier of Democratic challengers from 6 points to 41 points among registered voters, even amid his impeachment. In the survey, 40% said that former Vice … Read more

US Representative James Clyburn Says, Hang him (Trump)? Isn’t that called “a lynching”

December 20, 2019 Skip

Oh, this Impeachment by the Democrat Party (because only Democrats in the US House voted for the two deliberately and ambiguously worded Articles) has been a predetermined rotten fish head right from the get-go.

Brexit – it’s a’coming as British election has consequences

December 20, 2019December 20, 2019 Skip

Unlike our feckless Republicans in DC, after years of promising to get rid of the freedom-freezing Obamacare, the Tories in the British Parliament voted to finally fulfill the wishes of the British populace to leave the European Union.

ANY Democrat is Preferable to Trump, Jennifer Horn? Even Socialists?

December 20, 2019 Skip

We’ve been making sport of Jennifer Horn (aka “JHo”) for quite some time. She certainly has “evolved.” An endearing “term” that Democrats everywhere like to use describing their flip-flops on stances and policies – from the time that she ran as a TEA Party person to today.
