Yes, It Does “Hurt” to Use Coerced Pronouns – Listen to the ‘The Five’ Panel

June 12, 2023 Skip

As regular readers know, I am beyond the coerciveness of being told to use “preferred pronouns” with respect to those suffering from gender dysphoria. And with respect to “respect”, what the Freedom-weak people don’t understand, it’s a tactic to impress upon you your “language enslavement by proxy and repetition” if you use them to “show … Read more

A “The Boys From Wrexham Wrecked ‘Em!” Update – It’s Even Worse Than We Thought!

June 12, 2023 Skip

In Men vs. Women: The Boys From Wrexham Wrecked ‘Em! from June 8th, the takeaway was that the men (some much older than the women) beat them 12-0. A blowout – and the men hardly looked like they were trying.

“Bed-Rotting” – Really, This Is A Trend?

June 12, 2023June 11, 2023 Skip

Under a post over at LifeHacker is this title: The Out-of-Touch Adults’ Guide to Kid Culture: What is ‘Bed Rotting’? I’ve heard of the young Chinese doing “laying flat” (rebelling against the notion that they MUST STRIVE to do their best to help The State!). I have heard about “quit quitting” by the young (as … Read more

Blogline of the Day – Elizabeth Warren Continues to Be the Word-Punching Bag She Has Worked to Be

June 11, 2023 Skip

Although I admit, Steve’s post about biology trumping silly sexuality identity propaganda came close (yes, I’ve had that tabbed to put up – GREAT fun!): Men vs. Women: The Boys From Wrexham Wrecked ‘Em! – I think this edges it out, even if in a tweet:

June 10, 2023 Skip

Because when The State is no longer going to protect the Right to Private Property, NO one can own anything at all. And if you no longer own your property, there can be no private Freedom. In fact, no freedom at all as the linchpin of freedom is to both own, control, and protect one’s property. … Read more

“Bud Light” Says Otherwise, Buckos

June 10, 2023 Skip

This sounds like the Democrats who believe they “own” the Black, Brown, Gays, and the rest of the insolent Democrat Identity Political Totem Pole groups (“How DARE you leave us!”). But as always, the goal is to always embrace and surround and then absorb their allies. Then DEMAND that those allies can never leave – … Read more

Quick Thought: Bud LIghting Update – “…And The Beat[down] Goes On”

June 9, 2023 Skip

Again, the arrogant marketers at Anheuser-Busch thought they could diss their blue-collar consumers by “educating them” to accept that which is anathema to most Sidenote: Why is it that no matter what the issue is, the Left ALWAYS says “If you were better educated, you’d be less obstinate and agree with us”? by the use … Read more

Part 3 – To Our ‘Grok Friends in the NH Legislature – Do You Know What Your DCYF Is Doing? Or Rather, NOT Doing?

June 10, 2023June 9, 2023 Skip

Part 1 is here and you can see the Right To Know that I sent to a DCYF worker for a specific manual that I knew existed. Should have been rather simple: Pursuant to the Right to Know Law (RSA. 91-A), I am demanding access, within 5 business days, to the following governmental record: Provide, … Read more

Notable Quote – “…A Battle Between Freedom and Subjugation”

June 9, 2023 Skip

Emphasis mine: Condemning capitalism is nothing new in this country. We’ve heard the angry criticisms all of our lives, and they weren’t novel when we were young. It’s tragic, really, that so many in the West see the tension between “capitalists” and their ideological opponents as merely a conflict between ideas about which economic system … Read more

Chris Sununu Presidential Poll Watch – The Finale

June 7, 2023June 7, 2023 Skip

Well, as Steve informed us, Chris Sununu benched himself with this: To win, Republicans need our message to appeal to new voters, and we can do this without sacrificing classic conservative principles of individual liberty, low taxes and local control. But we must abandon the issues that are solely made for social media headlines, such … Read more

This is the kind of info that seems to have been suppressed for a very long time in this Transgender Culture War. We’ve been told, over and over, that it is “child abuse” to not allow a child to do the drugs and surgery that will cause them to be sterile along with a ton … Read more

NH Legislative Ethics Committee – Paul Fitzgerald’s Response (Fitzgerald??)

June 5, 2023 Skip

So I filed three NH Legislative Ethics Complaints against NH State Reps Harry Bean, Travis O’Hara (below – I guess I forgot to post it earlier), and a third Rep who did not waived his Confidentiality (so I can’t discuss that Rep).

Are Conservatives Finally Flooding the Left’s Battlefield En Masse?

Victor Davis Hanson is considered one of the most plain-speaking but brilliant minds on the Right. This manifesto/observation is dead nuts and spot on.

I’ve been a bit tied up lately with the NH Legislative Ethics Committee and DCYF (yes, they are doing things that have caught my gaze – both in general and personally), and again, a bit of Citizen for Belknap, and helping others with Right To Know demands. You know, you’d think that being retired, my … Read more

So, NH GOP Chair Chris Ager? How’s It Feel To Have One of Your County Committees Co-opted By a Democrat PAC?

June 5, 2023June 4, 2023 Skip

Indeed. I’ve now had several confirmations from a number of people that the Belknap County Republican Committee is now directly aligned with the results desired for the 2024 Primary/General elections by the Democrat founded, funded, and led Political Action Committee now known as “Citizens for Belknap”. Sidenote: I wonder if those Republicans laying out a … Read more

Dartmouth-Hitchcock’s Pediatric Social Worker Rainbow Stasi

Once again, Critical Race Theory, and its offshoot, Childism, is infesting Dartmouth-Hitchcock. I had to take one of the Granddaughters down to Manchester for a previously planned visit by her parents as she was staying with us for a few days (we were closer in distance, so I offered).
