WSJ | “..no one in American politics better personifies a war on women than Mrs. Clinton’s husband. For readers too young to recall the 1990s, we aren’t merely referring to Trumpian gibes about female looks or “Mad Men” condescension. Mr. Clinton was a genuine sexual harasser in the classic definition of exploiting his power as a workplace superior, and the Clinton entourage worked hard to smear and discredit his many women accusers.
Jupiter Justice is a new book by a first time author, Don Hunt. I downloaded it on Kindle Christmas day and a few days later had finished it.
It’s about Rico Schroeder who is working for a design team on a station orbiting Jupiter. With a huge cash prize at stake they are hoping to be the first of several teams to successfully test a new engine design that will change space flight for years to come. When an old friend dies on a test flight for a competing team Rico is stunned. When another body turns up he finds himself thrown in to his previous life as an investigator, a journey that takes him through a harrowing series of encounters on a number of human habitats across the solar system.
From Real Climate Science | Had Captain Cook been outfitted with low carbon candles, this tragedy could have been prevented.
English Climate Cultists are blaming global warming for flooding. In Response the good folk of Real Climate Science have unearthed evidence from 1771 of major flooding long before Al Gore or Michael Mann “made” global warming; hence the call for the low carbon candles.
1771 was the year Captain Cook discovered Australia. It was also the year that the 500 year old Tyne Bridge in Newcastle collapsed from a massive flood “twelve feet above high water mark in spring tides”
America’s multicultural elite have been doing the same thing with Mexican Immigration, Refugee resettlement, and so on…
“The European multicultural elites are always dissatisfied that they are unable to sufficiently break up the European nations. They believe that if they mixed … (in) migrants who have no roots in European countries, this will be a chance for an artificial unification of the continent.”
–Former Czech President Vaclav Klaus
…so that the only thing we could all possibly share (in their minds) would be…government.
Who didn’t see this coming?
It seems that when Grant Bosse approached me to be hired as House Chief of Staff after the House Republican vote to support me for Speaker, I should have been a little more encouraging to him.
The Union Leader has an opinion piece today from Grant Bosse in which he says, “After the House Republican Caucus made the brutal mistake of nominating Rep. Bill O’Brien for speaker, ignoring two years of solid evidence that the Mont Vernon Republican is simply not suited for the job, Jasper launched his candidacy from the House floor.”
In October 2014 the world’s leading expert on Greenland, or to be more precise the absence of green on Greenland–which is to say the ice that makes Greenland white and not green–warned the world of a potential fossil-fuel induced dark-ice feedback loop that could doom the world. (Cue dramatic Prairie Dog!)
Unlike the black ice found on Britain’s streets, which is clear and takes on the colour of dark surfaces underneath it, Greenland’s ice and snow really is becoming darker. Dr Fox, who co-founded the Dark Snow Project to measure the impact of the blackening ice on its ability to reflect sunlight, has calculated that the ice sheet is 5.6 per cent darker this year than last.
Just one year later some cheeky bastards from Dartmouth College have ruined it all.
Breitbart is reporting that the National Data Director for the Sanders Campaign, the one at the center of the Clinton data breach controversy, was recommended to the campaign the Democrat National Committee.
Now, in explosive claims, an unnamed Sanders adviser has alleged to Yahoo News that Uretsky was recommended to the Sanders campaign by the DNC themselves.
According to the adviser, (Josh) Uretsky was personally recommended to them by the DNC’s National Data Director, as well as a former COO of NGP VAN.
Wait. It gets better.
This is hour one of our December 19th show. I am using it to test the stream.
Every Legislator in New Hampshire should or shall receive the letter below alleging an ongoing misrepresentation of credit-hours by the University of New Hampshire. The letter and report assert that UNH gives extra credit hours compared to the actual amount of instruction and course work. Credit hours affect full-time status, completion of degree programs, grants and aid, and so on, so if true this would have serious repercussions.

Hillary Clinton’s failed vision in Libya & the Arab Spring are foreign policy leadership at its worst. https://t.co/NC80rbKLfP — Jim Webb (@JimWebbUSA) December 26, 2015 Bloomberg | Since dropping out of the race for the Democratic nomination, Webb has continued to maintain his Webb2016 website, which he has updated with posts about the possibilities of an … Read more
Another year of blogging and another year of comments, so it must be time for the annual top 20 most commented-upon posts.
As a reminder this list is based entirely on comments as of Dec 27th at 11 am EST. It is not a top 20 of best posts for content, reporting, influence, or style (decisions we would never assume to make for you), just those that inspired the most on-line debate. (Posts with an identical number of comments are posted as they appear when sorted by WordPress for this list.)

Susan Bruce has this idea in her head that the First Amendment (presumably to the US Constitution, she might mean something else) protects her Facebook status updates from being deleted. We’re not going to take this space to quibble over her “interpretation” of the law of the land. Instead, Susan, if you do decide to use screen … Read more
Real Climate Science | The frequency of warm winter days in the US has been declining for a century. In 1954, almost one fourth of winter days in the US were over 60F, but in 2010 the percent of warm days just over 10%.
Similarly, the frequency of hot summers days has declined. Warmth is becoming a thing of the past in the US.
NH Rebellion is a magnet for useful idiots.
Rule #1 – If *Democrats want it the odds are good it’s bad for freedom, individual liberty, State sovereignty, the Constitution, and the country. Stay away. (*We’re talking about the progressive variety running the party and setting the agenda and those that keep them in power.)
Rule #1a – If you are a Republican attracted to a group claiming to be non-partisan that is selling something Democrats want you are a useful idiot.
Predicated on the idea of removing the influence of money on political speech and politics, NH Rebellion uses money to influence political speech and politics. But that’s just the silly bit. The serious problems begin when you scratch the surface of NH Rebellion to see what’s underneath the non-partisan patina.
You’ve probably heard the one about the major American Newspaper that published a cartoon of Senator Ted Cruz’ daughters. The Washington Post depicted his Hispanic children as monkeys. Do that with Obama’s daughters and see what happens to you.
Anyway, Ted and his campaign has a cartoon idea of their own.
Normally El Nino produces a large spike in temperature in the lower troposphere, like in 1998 and 2010. But this year’s record El Nino failed to do that, indicating that some other effect is suppressing temperatures. The El Nino is collapsing, and in a few months temperatures are likely to plummet. Then they will have … Read more
What do Planned Parenthood and ISIS have in common? Organ harvesting. Yes, organ harvesting is back in the news. WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Islamic State has sanctioned the harvesting of human organs in a previously undisclosed ruling by the group’s Islamic scholars, raising concerns that the violent extremist group may be trafficking in body parts. The … Read more
We listen to some remarks by Dana Loesch then remark on issues of religious liberty including HRC’s recent complaints about Religious Colleges and the lefts effort to isolate people of faith.
At least we know what a UNH professor has to do to get fired. “Last December I had what I can only say was an emotional breakdown and I did a terrible thing,” (Marco) Dorfsman said in an email sent to colleagues on April 19, 2013. “I lost my judgment and in a moment of great stress I tampered with a colleague’s student evaluations.”
The University of New Hampshire invoked moral turpitude and fired the lout. But one does not simply fire a UNH professor.
