Is There a Problem With Adidas Having an All-White Shoe for Black History Month?
While it sounds tone deaf at first, Adidas had only one pair of white sneakers in a collection of new sports footwear celebrating Black History month. But for some, that was one too many.

MA Senator “Lie Like Liz” Warren is the Keynote Speaker At Upcoming NH Dem Dinner
Elizabeth Warren has spent most of her professional life selling a lie. One that afforded her special consideration to which she had no right. A lie she openly embraced for her professional and political benefit. You’d think that was offensive to a party that lives and dies on the altar of identity politics but not here, in New Hampshire.
Virginia is For Scandals (Or, How To Get A Republican Governor in the Old Dominion)

Sunset At Bernie’s
Oooh Boy, did Bernie Sanders get a slap-down last night while Congressman Kuster was dancing the Macarena in a short, embarrassing, tribute to herself.

WaPo’s Crappy Pretentious Super Bowl Ad gets a ‘Makeover’
If you missed the Washington Post’s pretentious little Super Bowl Ad, you could find it here, for context.

NBC Today Show Analyst – VA Gov. Wore Blackface in the 80’s Because “Trump”
Need to stretch? Well, try out this logic from the Today Show on NBC. Where ‘analysts’ suggest that an increase in incidents of blackface (two incidents) are Donald Trump’s Fault.

Man May Sue Parents for Giving Birth to Him Without His Consent
Is the anti-natalist movement the latest thing in birth-prevention? The idea that “it is wrong to put an unwilling child through the bother of life for the pleasure of its parents.” Raphael Samuel thinks so.

Coming Soon Increased Arctic Sea Ice Will Be Another Sign of The Global Warming Apocalypse
The irrefutable hypothesis of Global Warming has undergone some interesting evolutions in the decades since it’s “discovery.” By discovery I mean, the opportunity to use the weather to raise taxes and grow global government.

The Red Pen Governor
The liberty and freedom we’ve enjoyed in New Hampshire is under direct attack. And it’s the worst it has ever been.

If VA Gov. Northam Resigns It Should Be Because He Advocates Infanticide
The Left is head-over-heels in love with the sudden appearance of a yearbook page featuring a Democrat governor.
