Tom mentioned Evan Sayet in a post earlier today, which inspired me to go hunting for published posts (on our hallowed pages) with a video from Heritage where he explains “The Unified Theory of Liberalism.”

G7 Shakedown – Trump Drops Truth Bomb About Trade. Everyone Loses Their Mind.
Mike teased Trump’s realignment at the G7 Summit here which the media has (naturally) decided to sell it as a G6 versus the Trump Ogre. The world aligning against their oafish nemesis. That tells us a lot about the media and their abhorrence of the Make America Great Again Culture that put Trump in Office.
They can’t imagine it going any other way, but it has and it will and Don Surber, in an article titled “G7 is Donald Trump and the Six Dwarfs,” adds a bit of math to help clarify the relationship.
GrokPoll Results – Will You Vote for Gov. Sununu…?
On June 8th we asked, “Will You Vote for Gov. Sununu After He Advanced The Radical Democrat Agenda?” Sixty-Nine percent of respondents said no, they wouldn’t. You can view the original post and the results at the link. Check out our next poll question here: Grok Poll – Would You Vote Republican In Nov. to … Read more
Son of Sanders Has a Lackluster Congressional Campaign in New Hampshire
Levi ‘s Sander’s is running for Congress in New Hampshire. And he says, “we’re reaching out to a lot of low income and working class folks. I’m starting to get a good group of folks in New Hampshire, and I’m feeling very good.”
But no one else is feeling the vibe.
Sanders grabbed national headlines in late February when he announced his bid for the House in New Hampshire’s high profile First Congressional District.
A Belated and Partial ‘Grok Heavy Hitters’ for April 2018
On June 1st I added a low profile hit counter (back) into the back end so we could continue tracking page hits until Grok 3.0 goes live. The new site is coming along and thanks again to everyone who donated. Grok 3.0 will include some detailed tools to do what the plugin does for Grok 2.0 so we have a clearer view of what readers prefer.
But to the point, adding the counter in allowed me to salvage some data from April which I had earlier reported as lost. We did still lose about five to six weeks of page hit data (All of May 2018 for Example) but there was enough from April to create a partial heavy hitters list for that month.
Evolution Gets a Poke In the Eye
The theory of Evolution suggests things about the adaptation of species over the course of history that lead us to what we see today. But an extensive research project just poked evolution in the eye.
Newly released research that analyzed millions of DNA barcodes has come to a surprising conclusion that effectively turns the theory of evolution on its head. The massive study, which spanned a decade of work from hundreds of scientists, found that 9 out of 10 animal species on the planet came into being around the same time as humans, 100,000 to 200,000 years ago.
NH Dems to Sununu on Advancing Their Political Priorities – Sorry, But It’s Not Enough
There is no shortage of exposition on this blog site about the wasted effort on the part of Socially liberal Republicans to appease the left. This penchant culminated Friday when the Governor ‘quietly’ signed two bills that advance the Left’s cultural Marxist agenda putting rank and file Republican reelections at risk and by extension Gov. Sununu’s as well.
As I noted here. “Mr. Sununu needs to consider what happens to New Hampshire if he signs HB1319 because he won’t be the only Republican who suffers.”
NY Senate Advances Speech Suppression Bill Disguised As Anti-Bullying Legislation
The New York State Senate, under cover of protecting under-eighteen year-olds from ‘cyberbullying’ have advanced a bill that presents the government with a far-reaching tool to silence a wide range of speech it decides has violated their law.
I’ll let you explore Eugene Volokh’s examination of potential issues for speech suppression here, but I wanted to make the point that this exercise is no different than the progressive motivations on health care. Expand Medicaid. Expand Medicare. When they meet, you’ve got single-payer health care.
One More Wack At Dartmouth and the Ruling Class Elite
A recent survey of Dartmouth Students got ample attention from me here and here, but Jack Kerwick, writing at Townhall.com, combed through it here and I wanted to share his conclusion because it distills the noisy narratives down to a moment of clarity.
In summary, the Dartmouth survey establishes the truth of three propositions:
(1)Republican students are overwhelmingly outnumbered by Democrats at Dartmouth.
When Progressives Wax ‘Poetic’ About ‘Religious Bigotry’ …
The Masterpiece Cakeshop ruling continues to bear fruit. David French, writing at National Review Online, has provided several pieces that emphasize the upside of the decision, here, here, and here.
One important point that is a gift that should keep on giving is a quote from the Decision written by Justice Kennedy.
To describe a man’s faith as “one of the most despicable pieces of rhetoric that people can use” is to disparage his religion in at least two distinct ways: by describing it as despicable, and also by characterizing it as merely rhetorical — something insubstantial and even insincere.
I’m Going to Start Referring to My AR-15’s as MS-13’s ….
Doing our part to use the left’s hypocrisy to our advantage.
NH Democrat All Gurl Delegation Silent on Record Low Black Unemployment
As reported June 1st, the nation reached a milestone. Black unemployment has hit a record low. Racial disparity in unemployment is also at a historical low. That’s kind of crazy if we really are all a bunch of racists. But even if we were, which we are not, you’d expect that so-called party of People of Color would be screaming it from their solar panel covered rooftops.
Not one member of New Hampshire’s All Gurl Democrat Delegation has written a single word about it since it was announced eight days ago.

Irony Alert: NH Gov. Diversity and Inclusion Council ‘Listening Sessions’ All Took Place in Towns Won by Clinton in 2016
I’m trying to wade through the preliminary report from the Governor’s Council on Diversity and Inclusion. The first thing that struck me was that their first foray into information gathering included “Listening Sessions” in three locations. Durham, Portsmouth, and Claremont.
Yes, the diversity and inclusion council chose to begin their excellent virtue signaling adventure by “listening” to the concerns of citizens in three locations that chose Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Exeter Police Chief Drops Defamation Charges Over Facebook Comment
Sunday we reported on the case of Robert Frese, arrested by the Exeter Police Department and charged with violating defamations defamation statute.
Exeter Police Chief William Shupe had Robert Frese arrested for an online comment in which he said: “Chief Shupe covered up for a dirty cop.”
Exeter PD dropped the charge after consulting with the State’s Attorney General “which believed prosecutors would be unlikely to win at trial.”
Grok Poll – Will You Vote for Gov. Sununu After He Advanced The Radical Democrat Agenda?
It’s sad to say but New Hampshire’s ‘Republican’ Governor, Chris Sununu just signed two bills that should be challenged in court. One is a gag order that violates free speech and rights of conscience. The other deprives women of privacy in sex-specific spaces (not to mention a host of other issues). All to appease a sliver of the population that will never vote for him anyway.
Peter Singer Compared Black People to Apes?
And as far as we know, he still has a job. Princeton ethics professor Peter Singer compares black people to apes, citing the black liberation movement as a model for the liberation of apes. We must “extend to other species,” Singer says, “the basic principle of equality” that we extend “to all members of our … Read more
Justice Thomas Defends Free Speech in Masterpiece Cake Shop v. Colorado…
Hopefully, Ellen cleared up the “narrowness” of the decision in the SCOTUS Masterpiece Cake Shop LTD v. Colorado Human Rights Commission. The verdict was narrow not the vote. And while it was a victory for religious conscience, it was not a sweeping defense of Free Speech.
We do, however, find advocates for free speech in concurring opinions that should be examined because they remind us that the First Amendment is under constant attack and the Supreme Court provides a wealth of resources for its defense when needed. And they are needed.
