Notable Quote – “Historic Thoughts on ‘Our Democracy'”

September 27, 2022September 27, 2022 Skip

In the ensuing 233 years, many Americans have lost their fear of a tyrannical authority. Indeed, some of our ‘elite’ seem to love such authority, which they hope to control for their own tyrannical purposes, and these elites have lately gotten into the habit of using the phrase ‘our democracy’ as if there were a … Read more

Data Point: Wouldn’t It Have Been Better to Have the Increase in School Staff Be Teachers?

September 26, 2022 Skip

Yes, for those on the Right, I agree, we don’t need more NEA dues paying teachers that then go to the NEA (similarly, AFT) to then go political against our childrens’ best interest. That said, I think that this Powerline post on Public School Bloat is spot on: Bush’s No Administrator Left Behind Act. Don’t … Read more

Palate Cleanser – I Hope My Neighbor Doesn’t Get a Hankering for Building One of These.

September 26, 2022 Skip

Laser pointer, sharp bladed pointy things, and just pull the trigger. Not something that I’d want to have the north end of such a device pointing at me. Or as the post says: “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should,”. Actually, I’m kinda … Read more

Notable Quotes: Republicans have to Meet Biden Head-On

September 26, 2022September 26, 2022 Skip

Actually, I thought this inspired rant by Jesse Watters was aimed more at the Democrat Wokesters that are ruining America – a blunderbuss of bits and pieces in showing how nutty their actions are: Republicans have to meet Biden head-on. If they’re being called extreme, this is what you do: Oh, you guys are calling … Read more

Yep, Another “Man in the Street”: They Can’t Even Say What Country Queen Elizabeth II Was From?

September 26, 2022 Skip

Sheesh. I would have thought that with her illness starting to show up in late August, that would have been “pop news” and might have had a bit more recognition than normal from the younger (and ill-educated) set. Sigh, not so much.

September 26, 2022September 26, 2022 Skip

Just too much going on, and I’ve fallen behind, again, on putting education stuff up that I think is important. So, here’s a few more snippets, some reformating, emphasis mine/

Exposing the Democrat Lies on Abortion

September 25, 2022 Skip

A New Hampshire Republican friend of mine said it best: “I cannot believe so many people really do think the most important thing in life is to end it.” Democrats have been on a voter registration tear since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade. There’s just one problem for them – it’s the only … Read more

Notable Quote – Murphy Brown Was Not the One That Was Correct

September 25, 2022 Skip

REMEMBER MURPHY BROWN? It was three decades ago when then-Vice President Dan Quayle defended the traditional family and was rewarded with a sustained assault led by Candace Bergen nee sitcom star “Murphy Brown.” Quayle’s sin, Issues & Insights reminds us this morning, was to extoll the intact family unit with a father and mother in the home … Read more

SHOT: From the President of the United States: ‘She was 12, I was 30’: Biden leaves viewers stunned in teachers speech. …“You gotta say hi to me,” Biden said mid-speech at the National Education Association headquarters in DC. “We go back a long way.

No! California Voters Said No Such Thing at All – Unelected, Unaccountable, and Unassailable Bureaucrats Said No More Gas Cars

September 25, 2022September 24, 2022 Skip

As I’ve said, I read a lot of sites during the day and one of them is yet another eco-Sustainability type site, not named TreeHugger, but “Inhabit“. Think of it as “Treehugger-lite” because the writing is rather light-weight – big on pictures, not much “stuff” behind its short posts, and the comment section tends to … Read more

Quick Thought: Certain People Have Their Outrage Out of Priorities – Simply Daft

September 24, 2022 Skip

And of COURSE, it is the Population of the Perpetual Dismalness. It isn’t that their priorities are wrong, it’s also their outrage at the rest of us that do not share that outrage. They KNOW it is outrageous that we don’t share their outraged value set. Which makes it absolutely hilarious when we laugh at … Read more

No, the Democrats (NH’s Hassan, Shaheen, Kuster, and Pappas) Can Never Out Run “Defund the Police” Albatross around Their Necks

September 24, 2022 Skip

And they did it to themselves. I DVR Fox News’s “The Five” because I like to watch/listen to smart people talking about the issues of the day. On Thursday’s show (which I am just watching as I type this), their first segment had this as their topic and had a clip of all Democrat candidates … Read more

Campus reform on the street interviews abortion

Yep, another “Man In The Street” with a hook: $20 if you can find abortion mentioned in the US Constitution

September 24, 2022September 24, 2022 Skip

Yes, I probably keep too much content around, a lot of it months old as I keep thinking, “I NEED to put this up…” and then get distracted – too many Shiny Objects. Sigh.

Gen Z -Seriously, They Can’t Even Parse This Question? They Know Little…

September 24, 2022September 24, 2022 Skip

I’m that older generation, and every older generation goes, “Those younger people, they know nothing.”

Part 2 – Gunstock: Right To Know for Gunstock Area Commissioner Dr. David Strang’s emails

September 22, 2022 Skip

So as discussed in Part 1, I submitted an RSA 91A Right To Know demand for Gunstock Area Commissioner Dr. David Strang’s emails, both inbound and outbound, associated with his official GAC email account. Commissioner Doug Lambert is refusing, in his Machiavellian way, to cough them up and is using delaying using what he believes … Read more

Palate Cleanser: So Now We Know What Women Want, How Do They Stand?

September 22, 2022 Skip

Aerosmith: “WALK THIS WAAAY!”. Transgender Woman Rachel Levine: “Stand this way”: (click to embiggen) It would be one thing if Parents, in abusing allowing 2, 3, 4 year old boys to “transition” (yet another made up Woke word – we must challenge the abuse of our common language each and every time) because those boys … Read more

Matt Walsh: What Is a Woman? Next Question: What Does She Want?

September 22, 2022 Skip

Associate US Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown-Jackson couldn’t explain what a Woman is (er, she isn’t one?) so Matt Walsh made a movie around the question “What is a Woman?”

The Windham Incident v3 – Miscounts, Mistakes, and Dems with “More Votes” Than Voters!

September 21, 2022 Skip

The original Windham Incident was the inconsistency of the voting machines in Windham two years ago and that made national news. Version 2.0 was Ken Eyring finding that, AGAIN, absentee ballots were folded across the ovals again (for this election cycle). And now, there’s more than just more.

What Democrat Maggie Hassan, Annie Kuster, and Chris Pappas’ Actions Say to Us

September 21, 2022 Skip

The General Election is coming up quick and flush with cash, Democrats Hassan (Senate), Kuster (Congress), and Pappas (Congress) are trying to soften their images as extremists in lockstep with Democrat legislation and policies into more rounded and just-the-kindly-grandmothers-next-door.
