The Left’s war on poverty was never about lifting people up. It was about pushing more people down. And look, it’s working. Between “pandemic,” energy, economic, and even international policy, more people are struggling than ever. But the New York Times says it’s not enough.

If You “Stand with Ukraine” You’re an Anti-Gay Bigot! (Gay Marriage is Banned by their Constitution)
If I’m not mistaken, standing with Ukraine has the distinction of inspiring the “I stand with the current thing” meme. And that’s more fitting than ever. It’s pride month, and why the hell would that matter? If you stand with Ukraine, you’re an anti-gay bigot.
You Don’t Want to Give Who, Credibility?
This idea has been percolating in the back of my mind for a while, and then I read Skip’s post about Sarah Gibson and NHPR. In it, Skip notes that the “journalist” tried to contact people named in the story but not Skip.
NH’s School Safety Task Force Came Up With 59 Recommendations Just Not the One That Works
After Parkland, New Hampshire created a School Safety Taskforce. Its job was to meet, discuss, and make recommendations on improving safety or reducing the chance of an active shooter event. They came up with 59 suggestions but left out the one they needed.
Four UK Schools to Begin Serving Insects (Alternative Proteins) to Kids ‘cuz The Environment!
The thinking goes like this. If we feed kids bugs, then maybe they will convince their parents to eat bugs too. As a parent, I’d like to respond to that. Go away and take your bugs with you.
Everything Comes from Somewhere
You’ve heard the phrase, maybe even used it. It is ubiquitous, an idiom. “[It] came out of nowhere.” But everything comes from somewhere. The deer from the woods. The rock from a hillside or the hand that threw it. So does life. It comes from someplace, and it has a beginning. Life doesn’t just come out of nowhere. It begins, like all things, from an identifiable point of origin.
Sin and Government
Jordan Peterson gave the 2022 commencement address at Hillsdale College, and it was brilliant. He called it (or Maybe Hillsdale did) At the crossroads. That was the subject of the talk. That place where you have an essential choice to make and what that looks like or means philosophically, metaphorically, through a lens of faith and practically speaking.
Someone is “Attacking” An NPR “Journalist” in New Hampshire
The Newburyport News, in an editorial titled, “Violent attacks on journalists also assault the truth,” is reporting multiple acts of vandalism at homes linked to a “journalist” who works for New Hampshire Public Radio or their family members.
It’s 603 Day, by the Way, a Celebration of New Hampshire
Today is June 3rd, 6/03/2022, which is a celebration of all things New Hampshire in the Granite State. 603 is the state’s only area code, and it has adopted the day as its very own.
“The War on the Unvaccinated was lost and we should all be very thankful for that.”
I haven’t seen anything like this around these parts. A vaccinated Australian has written an Op-Ed in which they thank the unvaccinated. For what? “[T]heir perseverance and courage bought us the time to see we were wrong.”
New Study: Pediatric Masking (School Mask Mandates) Had No Effect on Number of COVID Cases
A long time ago, in a reality far, far away, the CDC, NIH, and others knew that mass masking couldn’t reduce viral spread. They also knew masking had downsides. But the mask became a symbol of compliance and they ignored their own research. They even invented some to justify masks. But that’s falling apart, again.
“Converting” to Electricity is Common Sense? In What World?
There is an editorial over at Digger from a pair of Environmental stakeholders titled “Converting to Electricity is Common Sense.” The premise is that gasoline is never getting cheaper, and “Driving and heating homes and businesses are essential to Vermonters’ standard of living.” [so] “Converting to electricity is common sense in need of government support.”
Kevin Smith for US Senate Gets This Right – Introducing “Maggie Hasn’t!”
We hadn’t heard a lot from Kevin Smith, who is running in the Republican Primary to replace Democrat Maggie Hassan in the US Senate from New Hampshire. Skip and Ed have explored the until now invisible candidate, but that has ended. He’s got an Ad on TV
Children Aren’t as Precious as Politicians or We’d Protect Them with Guns
It is a simple fact of human existence. People or property that is important or cherished is protected (quite often) with firearms. When more protection is warranted, you add more security, probably armed. This is the way with the government, but not with children in their care.
From the Mouth of a Marxist – Property is Racist! ‘cuz Slavery!
Let’s say you believe that everything belongs to the State. Nothing you do with yourself nor the product of any labor can ever belong to the person who did the work. Not just that you didn’t build it, but you couldn’t. Now consider how the political party pushing those ideas had made it impossible for people of color to own anything.
Second and Third World Nations Save Us From Biden’s New World Health Order (NWHO)
There’s been a lot of noise behind the scenes about the Biden Administration’s proposed amendments to International Health Regulations overseen by the World Health Organization (WHO). The chickens have been clucking about it for weeks, with people losing their minds on both sides.
It’s All Deliberate and By Design and The All-Electric Future is no Future
The price of gas is about as high as it has ever been, and that is precisely what the Left wants. It is what they wanted Biden to do, and he did it. So, they are happy, but they are mad. Glad it worked, furious that they might have to pay a political price.
Hal Shurtleff on His Free Speech win at the US Supreme Court (Shurtleff v. City of Boston)
Fresh off his 9-0 SCOTUS Free Speech win (Shurtleff vs the City of Boston), Hal Shurtleff, the co-founder, and the director of Camp Constitution joins us to talk about the case, the experience, and free speech in America.
Bidenzuela
In a few short years, the Democratic-Socialists in Venezuela reduced a gem of a nation, rich in resources, productivity, and wealth, into a socialist cesspool. America’s ‘Democrats’ are working hard to get it done here even faster.
