The Burger King Pride-Month Bun-Pander
Tolerance and diversity hint at acceptance like some gender equivalent of the American melting pot. I think we know that’s not how it works, so what does Burger King’s Pride Month Whopper bun-stunt represent?
Special Olympics Walks Back COVID Vaccine Mandate After Florida Prepares to Levy $27.5 Million Fine
It is against the law in Florida to require proof of Vaccination for COVID19 to participate in life, but the Special Olympics must have forgotten about that or thought they were joking. The plan was to deny the unjabbed access for the 2022 USA event in Orlando.
Dover Says “It’s Not a Rain Tax” But Your “Taxes” Will go up Because of the Rain
Remember when NH Democrats said a tax on wages was not an income tax? They got some Freshman stooge to say it out loud, but same difference. A tax on income is an income tax. Democrats in Dover are playing the same game but with rain.
How Biden Helps Struggling Americans: Let’s Cancel 2000 Existing Oil and Gas Leases

NHGOP Insider: We Need Republican Majorities That Can Override Sununu’s Vetoes

NYT: Inflation is Not Yet High Enough to Reach “the scale necessary to bring needed change”
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.

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
