In trying to find a couple of Thanksgiving posts from the past that I wanted to post up, I stumbled upon this and thought that I’d share it again. After all, who knew that I and TMEW would have to be re-living my own admonitions below in raising the Grandson (a “GrandFamily”)? An abstract from … Read more
Bumped from 11/27/2014 Forasmuch as it is the indispensable duty of all men to adore the superintending providence of Almighty God; to acknowledge with gratitude their obligation to Him for benefits received, and to implore such farther blessings as they stand in need of; and it having pleased Him in his abundant mercy not only … Read more
Minus the beer, however. But I’d be ready…and waiting…eyes twinkling in anticipation. Anyone willing to lay odds on how it would turn out? Heh! (HT: Matt)
Wait for it….wait for it…it’s all about the flavor!
(Image H/T: Rush Limbaugh) I thought that I had used his recounting of the First Thanksgiving. Instead, in trying to find his Thanksgiving post on communal vs private property rights, I found this one instead. It’s a good one all on its own and I urge you to read it. However, it was Rush I … Read more

I like reading John Stossel as often he proclaims a down to earth message with common sense appeal. In addition, what he talks about is grounded in results rather then an ideological background. When I saw his column, so apropo for today, it does need to be reviewed.
Why? Allow me to inject a bit of what some might consider politics on a day given over for other-than-politics. The lesson learned by the Pilgrims is one that we should be paying close attention to, as we are looking to select a new leader, just as the Pilgrims selected Bradford as their new leader. I see the Democratic candidates all running to socialistic tendancies more and more – think “it takes a village” on steroids. Yet, given history’s results on “the common good” and the hatred that seems to be simmering on the Left for capitalism, sometimes we do need to pay attention to what history tells us of certain choices and actions, lest we repeat them over and over….
Progressives – always the buzz-killers. All the time we hear from comedians that Progressives are killing comedy especially if they tell a joke or a story that goes against a Woke Narrative. Say the wrong thing and get canceled. Get hounded out of your life. Tossed to the curb to lay in the gutter. So, … Read more
Remember, warning shots at an aggressor might be used against you. Ammo is still not cheap, and getting killed yourself is worse. This example might be helpful in your future (reformatted, emphasis mine):
As I said in my earlier post (“The Biden Administration Is about to Add a $6/Gallon Tax When You Fill Up Your Car“), the Biden EPA mavens want to arbitrarily jerk your energy (For each and every energy source you utilize) from a tax of $1/ton to upwards of $190/ton. It IS (after all) their mission to save the planet.
The Biden Administration is about to add a $6/Gallon tax when you fill up your car. Arbitrarily, by regulators – those faceless, unaccountable, unelected, and unassailable bureaucrats who are part of the Deep State that know better how you are to run your lives than you do.
It was Stephen Scaer’s post about Elle Gallo that got her “copyright demand panties” in a wad. Once again, we see that yet another “transgender activist” can’t STAND that someone has an opinion that varies from theirs. Go ahead and read Stephen’s post and then come back. I’ll wait… So now, having read Stephen’s post, … Read more
When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.” – sometimes attributed to Thomas Jefferson So, let’s get to it – once again as my collection of educational posts has been growing out of control. And in many cases, reformatted here and emphasis mine. So the Boston … Read more
My previous post on re-elected Dan Eaton (D-Stoddard) brought up an interesting question: where does he really live? He lists 139 Power Line Rd, Stoddard NH as his official domicile/residence as living in the NH State Representative District in which he lives.
And on and on and on it goes. First, second, and now third. Need I say more? Source of Election Chaos Identified: Two Little Changes Made to Ballot Printers One such notable snafu occurred in the state of Arizona, which is embroiled in a lengthy tabulation process that has exasperated voters. A new report from Votebeat … Read more
In the previous post of this series, SAU 3 Berlin – Trying To Mollify Me That A Card Catalog Isn’t What I Know It To Be (Parsing, Much Parsing), I ended my email to SAU 3’s hired lawyer, Barbara Loughman this way: Right now, you are needlessly spending valuable taxpayer money in stalling for time … Read more
LOTS of leftovers – like after Thanksgiving this Thursday coming up. Why not put them up – make it a “collective” rant? I thought about what each one said, perhaps it will trigger some GREAT comments and ideas! As always with these aggregated posts, some reformating and emphasis mine. This first one mentions the issue … Read more
Every Saturday from 9am to 10am, Marc and Paul have guests on to talk about a number of issues. This week: An Israeli breakthrough in cancer treatment? How much energy DO you need? Is an e-Bike in your Christmas future? DO you want it in your future? And which matters more given this cycle’s election: … Read more
The more stories of this type we make know, the more that: Stupid people MAY figure out that they are walking/slithering into their “Happy Ending” The Public at large understands that guns are for defensive uses by those of us unable to physically defend ourselves against those of overpowering physical strength. DGU (“Defensive Gun Use”) … Read more
And a wee bit of “I know more about RSA 91-A than he does”. Well, perhaps – she’s a lawyer and I’m not. However, sometimes engineers, who must be MORE precise than lawyers many times, can read simple English used in writing such laws. I will give her an A for trying to move the … Read more
A two-fer: SHOT: Prof Thomas Sowell (Knowledge and Decisions) It is not the source or the ruthlessness of power alone which defines totalitarianism, but the unprecedented scope of the activities subjected to political control. E.g., name a part of your life in which Government HASN’T intruded and you’ll begin to understand “unprecedented scope”. I’ve challenged … Read more
