Skip Kerrie Diers (Exec. Dir. of the Nashua (New Hampshire) Regional Planning Commission) doesn’t care much that your land gets in the way of her planning (for your own good as in “WHY do our perceptions of the needs of the Collective have to give way to what Individuals own?”):
In other words, YOUR Rights are getting in the way of THEIR agenda – they cannot let that happen.
UBI => Universal Basic Income, whereby Government just gives everyone, children and adults, some sum of money every year (e.g., $10,000) A UBI would pose severe practical challenges, which will be discussed later in this article. But even if it could work, it should be rejected on principle. A UBI would redefine the relationship between … Read more

Trust me – there wouldn't b 49 dead in a Texas bar. We shoot back.

I agree. WE are our own First Responders and we should not outsource our own safety and security to hired help (even as good and fearless as they are, running to the sound of gun shots) – that is what the Second Amendment is about (albeit, in part). Bataclan, the Chechen school a few years back, San Bernadino, and now Orlando (among others). Each and every time, a gun free zone.
Would those carrying have prevented
It seems the moment we automate some given process with labor-saving devices, we identify some new problem, unresolved issue, or unmet need, and the scarce labor resources that had been employed in the now automated line of work are eventually shifted over to the new problem to address the continued and ongoing struggle against scarcity … Read more
Who said it?
“We express our deepest sympathies to the victims, the wounded, and their families. We mourn, as one people, for our nation’s loss – and pledge our support to any and all who need it. I would like to ask now that we all observe a moment of silence for the victims of the attack.”
All we’ve heard from the MSM (and most of them wouldn’t know which end to point down range) is AR-15! AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!
Ad nauseum. They’re all wrong. From Bearing Arms:
The rifle used by the Islamist terrorist in Orlando was not an AR-15.
Hillary Clinton – which is it? Shot: I want to be sure that we get small businesses starting and growing in America again. We have stalled out. I was very surprised to see that when I began to dig into it…it turns out that we’re not producing as many small businesses as we used to … Read more
As regular readers may have noticed, my rate of posting has plummeted over the last month or so and when I have been able to, the post is rather short or just pointing out what someone else has said. Perhaps there will come a time to explain but given what happened this morning in Orlando, I thought I’d share this quick thought / email I wrote in our Grokster email group on the Islamic Terrorism that a known wolf (FBI tracked) carried out:
Subject: Mystery shooter in Orlando has suicide vest, belongs to which religion?
I have been painting upstairs [grandson’s nursery] so I have been listening to the [Sunday] talking head shows and they’ve all mentioned it. Meet The Press, however, almost went wall to wall with it. You have no idea, with that coven of corrupt Collectivists on their panel, how many times I had to restrain myself from throwing the paint buckets at the TV.
The worst part was when they all, even the so called RINOs (e.g., I don’t think they even rise to the low bar of being RINOs) were all talking about “we haven’t had the conversation about guns” since 9/11.
What planet are these people from – that “conversation” has
I wonder if late at night, Obama says something along the lines of, “See Michelle, I told you that Americans can ‘absorb’ another terrorist attack, and Fort Hood, Boston, Garland, Chattanooga, and San Bernardino just keep proving me right.” And now Orlando. (H/T: Instapundit)
If you get to blame our gun control policy for putting the weapon into Omar Mateen’s hands, then I get to blame our immigration policy for putting Muslim terrorists inside our borders. See how that works? (H/T: Instapundit)
“I think I believe in American power more than Obama does.” King Abdullah was educated here in the States. Wish the same thing had happened to Obama.
Ah yes, a number of women all ga-ga that perhaps it will be a woman in the Oval Office… …just hope that Monica didn’t have a brother. (H/T: ReasonTV)
The trouble with centralism is not just that it fails to solve all our problems but that, apart from creating the illusion that all problems are soluble (and often imposing astonishingly high costs on its alleged beneficiaries), it either hampers or crowds out private-governance strategies that actually do work. -Gerard Casey (University College Dublin) (H/T: … Read more
This vital consideration of incentives is almost systematically overlooked in the proposals of agitators for more and bigger government welfare schemes. We should all rightly be concerned with the plight of the poor and unfortunate. But the hard two-part question that any plan for relieving poverty must answer is: How can we mitigate the penalties … Read more
There is no doubt that there are those on the Left that want to disarm the American populace (e.g.,Senator Feinstein (D-CA) for one who has said as much in the past). I am quite sure that if Hillary gains the Oval Office, she will do what she can to defenestrate the Second Amendment via regulations … Read more
Nothing is too big to fail, including civilizations, and ours is no exception. The decline of the West is historically inevitable, subject to the universal principle of entropy that functions on every plane of natural existence, including the cultural. The agencies by which it works on this level are readily isolated: the endemic vices and … Read more

BuzzFeed cancels $1.3 million ad buy by RNC because Trump is “hazardous to our health.”
Chaser:
“If BuzzFeed has the right to refuse business because a potential customer supports a policy that offends their conscience, why don’t Christian bakers who are being asked to cater a gay wedding have the same right?”
Obviously we’re homophobic and racist for noting that BuzzFeed is being discriminatory but the Left doesn’t
The hubris of knowledge…
Yo, Michelle Obama, The House You Wake Up In Was Rebuilt Under Harry Truman. “Okay, America, it’s time for a history lesson. When the First “Lady,” Michelle Obama, claimed recently that the house she wakes up in every day was “built by slaves” the poor woman didn’t realize just how badly she stepped in the historical quicksand.
Shot: JFK PROPOSES THAT AMERICA LAND A MAN ON THE MOON WITHIN A DECADE. Chaser: State Dept. Says It Would Need 75 Years to Release Clinton Emails. Hmm, on the Democrat side, I betcha that’s STILL the “Can do!” spirit – just not the way most of us would think, though. (H/T: Instapundit)
