I’d like to thank the Democrat party and their paid “protesters” and fascist-anti-fascists, as well as the media for not just encouraging but demanding we have THIS conversation.

In a 2016 commencement address to City College in New York graduates, then-First Lady Michelle Obama said that “every single day” as First Lady “I wake up in a house that was built by slaves.” True enough.

But what the First Lady left out is that every day any Democrat in America wakes up they are the core of a political party that, like the physical White House, “was built by slaves.”

Jeffery Lord, writing at American Spectator explains why the Democrat Party is the party of racism.

The media has a thankless job for which we give them endless grief, almost all of it deserved. No, it’s not just the bias. Sometimes it’s the stupid stuff like this.

Hampton Beach is holding another Go Topless Day on August 26th. The picture leading the story has two women and a man in the foreground with the caption, “Women were supported by men around the shoreline of Hampton Beach on during Go Topless Day 2016.”

You nailed it. Men were at the beach “supporting women” who were topless.

I’m no expert, but I’m going to predict similar support again this year. I’m also predicting a surge in the sale of sunglasses.

The second goof up comes with a strong language warning. Something the editors at the Union Leader should heed because it is their screw up.

Defacing and vandalizing property is not new for the left so when the party of inclusive excellence gets to excluding bits of history they’ve decided is objectionable historical monuments beware.

Civil war icons of the south and enablers of slavery are being pulled down–or in the case of Baltimore removed by the powers that be–because that’s what the Left is into right now. It’s their other, other, other, distraction from the mess and hypocrisy of their own party.

The subject of Democrat hypocrisy (and slavery enabler statues) came up during this week’s Politically Buzzed segment on Girard at Large, and my co-host Susan Olsen had some thoughts to share about slave enablers in New Hampshire.

Jim Kofalt and Diane Bitter of the 603 Alliance joined me on Girard at Large this morning to talk about Initiative 18, an ambitious program to recruit and train candidates for the New Hampshire House for the 2018 Elections.

We talked about tools, training, and coordinating with other groups, as well as some of the challenges the program hopes to overcome on the way to securing future Republican Majorities in the New Hampshire House.

Did you know that New Hampshire law forbids initiating sex with someone under the influence of drugs and alcohol? That’s what it says on the “About Alcohol” header of the UNH “Consent and Bystander Intervention” page, which reads,

Alcohol or drugs are often used as a tool for sexual assault.  UNH policy and New Hampshire law forbid initiating sex with a person who is incapacitated by the use of alcohol or drugs.

The first statement is very true; the second one is a bit misleading.

Fat Studies or Weight-Based Oppression could be the new Social Justice Belle of the Ball.

At Princeton,

This seminar investigates discourses and politics around the fat body from a performance studies perspective,” the course description states. “How does this ‘f-word’ discipline and regulate bodies in/as public? How do dancers reveal these politics with special clarity? How might fat be a liberating counter-performance?”

What about the adverse social effects of the war on obesity?

From The Nation, a little bait for the big fish to nibble on, with a huge hook in it.

There was no hack of the Democratic National Committee’s system on July 5 last year—not by the Russians, not by anyone else. Hard science now demonstrates it was a leak—a download executed locally with a memory key or a similarly portable data-storage device. In short, it was an inside job by someone with access to the DNC’s system. This casts serious doubt on the initial “hack,” as alleged, that led to the very consequential publication of a large store of documents on WikiLeaks last summer.

Breaking news from Girard at Large,

The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services has proposed to eliminate the Medicaid rule that prohibits the program from funding sex reassignment surgeries.  Disturbingly, while the proposed rule change hasn’t even been heard yet, Girard at Large has obtained a letter sent by the department directly to a minor child enrolled in the NH Healthy Families program.  The child to whom this letter was addressed is 11 years old.

According to information contained on the department’s Rulemaking Notice Form:
