And in … Read more

The character Race Bannon (“Johnny Quest” cartoon series) has shown more courage than him: ROBERT SPENCER: Mike Pence Seems to Think Being a Conservative Means Letting the Left Get Away With Everything.

Ladies, Want to be Happier? Become Conservative!
Pull Quote (emphasis mine): Wilcox says the “striking” thing about the survey results is that “the happiness gap is very large between conservative and liberal women….this is in part because conservative women are more focused on family life and in part because conservative women are more religious. In other words, cultural differences between the two groups of … Read more

Really Hynsie? You’re Touting Chris Sununu as the Next Greatest President?
Yes, this would be Patrick Hynes, an NH/DC-based political operative with an Op-Ed concerning Chris Sununu’s chances in the 2024 Presidential Campaign. For full disclosure, he was a founding member (with Doug Lambert) of Meet The New Press, our radio show here in the Lakes Region of NH.

Data Point – So When Will The News Media “Get It” That Americans Hate Them?
Perhaps not hate but certainly don’t Trust them. Chart is over the period of 1993 to 2022: The post is concentrating on 2022 and neither can rise to the level of being unacceptable in providing platforms that shine in the light of the First Amendment.

So Disney has just gone all Critical Race Theory and Trans – And Communistic?
While Walt Disney was really anti-Communist, it seems though that the Progressive Infection that has taken over his company no longer shares that view.

Or is it precisely on such campuses that separatism and hostility are worse than on campuses that have not gone in for the multicultural craze? You want to see multiculturalism in action? … Read more
