Somehow, New Hampshire has defied progressive-probability. For years we’ve had some of the lowest crime rates, and the lowest homicide rate, in the nation, despite never (EVER) giving the feds the names of people diagnosed as mentally ill (a subjective set of circumstances all its own).
How the hell is that even possible?
Armando Valladares was jailed and tortured by the Castro regime for 22 years because he would not publicly say, ‘I am with Fidel.’ This is a man of conscience and conviction, and in his speech–upon receiving the 2016 Canterbury Medal–he identified another, this time a group, who would not allow a government to force them to forfeit their conscience.
The Little Sisters of the Poor know this. They may be called the Little Sisters of the Poor, and yet they are rich in that they live out their conscience, which no government bureaucrat can invade. They know what my body knows after 22 years of cruel torture: that if they sign the form, the government demands they will be violating their conscience and would commit spiritual suicide. If they did this they would forfeit the true and only wealth they have in abandoning the castle of their consciences.
Full speech on the jump.
There are few superstitious beliefs as absurd as the idea that a woman can be trapped in a man's body & vv. But in the Age of Feeling . . .

Not exactly the sort of expression you expect from a Princeton Professor. What’s the over-under on how soon Robert George will be looking for work?
Mark Steyn, filling in for Rush Limbaugh, speaks with Rick Manning, from American’s for Limited Government, about an Obama maneuver that allows the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to make arbitrary zoning decisions from Washington DC in any local town or city.

Heat Street.com is reporting that the wife of a socialist Senator Bernie Sanders drove a college she ran into so much debt it will no longer be able operate.
Burlington College announced today that it will close on May 27 after it found itself unable to recover from “the crushing weight of the debt” incurred under Jane O’Meara Sanders, the college’s former president and wife of Bernie Sanders.
How ironic.

Democrat War on Women’s Restrooms. (The Daily Signal) “The presence of a male of any variety, whether he’s somebody who identifies as a trans or not, whether he has deviant motives or not, that’s irrelevant to the reality that for survivors of sexual trauma to just turn around and to be exposed to that is an … Read more
To summarize, you can’t insist that the constitution includes a right to access to one form of protection (contraceptives) while insisting that you may prohibit access to another form of protection (the tools needed to exercise a Second Amendment right to self-defense).
(Publiusforum.com) The Ninth Circuit Court remanded the case of Teixeira v. County of Alameda back to a lower court informing it the court that the Second Amendment and its history protects the rights of Americans to self-defense including the “right to acquire weapons” as well as own them.
This puts a dent in the city of Alameda’s regulations that practically bans the opening of any gun store in the city.

Target has lost $6 billion in market cap since it announced, in mid April, that any man can use the ladies bathrooms and changing rooms in their stores. Might be a blip, or it might be a thing. If it is a thing it may send a message to shareholders that the CEO and management … Read more

You can’t keep your plan if you like your plan (or your doctor, blah blah blah) but if you want taxpayers to pay for someone else’s sex-change operation, guess what? The Secretary Shall!
The Department of Health and Human Services issued a final regulation Friday that will pressure health insurers to cover sex change operations, which could then be subsidized by taxpayers through Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare.
And talk about timing…
