As Powerline points out, WE are being subjected to all kinds of WuFlu/COVID lockdowns and passports and masks but in the pictures being shown of those being evacuated from Afghanistan (in those giant C-17 transport planes), are ANY of them wearing masks?

Promoted from the Comments: Bruce Currie – On Abortion; willingly lie to slander Conservatives and make political points
I think that anyone that has read GraniteGrok on even a semi-regular basis knows that I’m against abortion. A word that sums up what really is an anthema: the killing of innocent babies in the womb either by chemical reactions or tearing them limb from limb. And then crow about the bastardization and redefinition of … Read more
Biden Said “…We Will Not Forget” – (Does he Even Remember he said it?)
Too many things in the air lately, and I forgot that Biden was addressing the nation yesterday at 5 pm concerning Afghanistan and how it really isn’t a fustercluck but a rousing success. Ok, I’m stretching that part a bit.
The Politically Incorrect Guide to: Public Education
“In the eighth episode of “The Politically Incorrect Guide,” Tom Woods & Michael Malice demolish America’s public education system.”
Notable Quote – “Property Is a “Powerful Antidote to Unfettered Selfishness.”
One of the Pillars of our American Constitutional Republic is that of the Right of Private Property. What is mine, IS mine – and not yours. Nor is it yours to take or to lay claim to it in any way.
Notable Quote: Just Leave Us Alone, We Can Figure Out What’s Best for Ourselves
Emphasis mine: “The belief that processes which are consciously directed are necessarily superior to any spontaneous process is an unfounded superstition.”
Public Educators Are getting Paid to Bully us and Shut us Down?
In case you missed it: E Michelle Holt-Shannon, director of NH Listens at The Carsey School of Public Policy at UNH, moderator of the August 19th DEI-J meeting at Exeter High opened the meeting by threatening to call the police on attendees.
Heavily Subsidised Sloth vs. Free Market ‘Price Signals’
Price Point – not only is it a signal of relative value in which the producer thinks what an offer is worth but also signals back to the producer what the consumer thinks about it (too high, or too low).
Sing Along! “It’s a Woke World, After All…”
Both funny and sad at the same time. The fact that somebody put a lot of time into creating and animating this woke version of Disney’s “It’s a Small World After All” (and the actual ride has been “evolved” to be more SJW/PC safe for the perpetually offended snowflakes) says a lot about our society.
Data Point – Olympic Medals by Sport and Age
I have to admit that I’ve lost interest in the Olympics. Especially this year as there were those US Athletes that were so self-absorbed as to think that WE have to listen to THEIR diatribes if they were to medal and get up on the podium. We want to praise them for their determination and … Read more
I Guess Biden Doesn’t Care about the Constitutions Admonition to “Faithfully Execute the Laws”
Just like this nitwit: NH State Rep. Sandra Keans (R, now D): “I don’t try to justify anything by the Constitution, it’s not my job and I don’t want to do it”. Actually, it is – we are ALL bound by the strictures of the US Constitution ESPECIALLY if one is the President. However, as … Read more
Friday Open Thread – Biden doesn’t believe Americans matter
We’ve all seen the news on what utter Schmucks our American leaders are given their responses to the Taliban taking back Afghanistan. And such SURPRISE that these illiterate, mountain living religious fanatics could beat the reigning Superpower (making it the third – Russia and Britain being the other two) with improvised IEDs, a few technicals, … Read more
To Damien Fisher at NH Journal, The “Listening Sessions” Are as Much a Problem as the Schools Districts’ DIE Activities
DIE (Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity) are the Three Horsemen of Critical Race Theory. And Academic rigor, for which we pay our now REALLY uppity Education staffs, is dying for all of this indoctrination.
Don’t Use the Language of the Left
Don’t use the language of the left. It just emboldens them and makes us lose: “Today, on the political left, we’re making up new norms all the time: calling people “Latinx,” announcing our pronouns, capitalizing ‘Black.’ “
The New Collectivism: Mandatory Participation in The Mental Illness of Others
There’s a new definition for collectivism. ‘Wokeness Means Forcing Everyone To Live Inside The Prison Of Mental Illness.’ Yeah, I’m enjoying this “free” sample of Cultural Marxism.
Whatever, Your Girlfriend Has 67 Protons!
I like a good pun, play on words, or a good turn of phrase. I used to run a VAXnotes instance called Repartee where Digital Equipment Corp employees could chime in witty and pithy lines trying to outdo the other. I will have to say, this one is rather top-notch – and coming from a high schooler:
CRT – Debate Points against CRT in Schools – Stack of Stuff Part 17
It’s been a while (back on July 12) since I tried to unpack my Stack of Tabs I collect as I’m surfing around to see what piques my interest (yeah, I’m a bit overboard on this “collection schtick” – probably about 500-600 tabs easy). So, time to restart!
NH Bureau of Tourism Hates On the NH Motto – AGAIN!
UPDATE: I mentioned DJ Bettencourt at the end of this post – he had helped to fix this problem before, saw this post, and emailed back (emphasis mine):
