This is from a conversation in the comments below one of Steve’s recent posts. It seems relevant to a lot of what’s happening just now, so I thought I’d post it separately.
Night Cap: Saudi Water Battle in Arizona
An ongoing kerfuffle over alleged Saudi water withdrawals from Arizona to grow alfalfa highlights the complexity of competition for increasingly scarce – and thus valuable – water for crops and residential uses.
Reason? We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Reason
It’s rumored that some Republican-controlled state governments are considering prohibiting Joe Biden from appearing on the ballot in their states. Of course, Democrats are crying foul: ‘He isn’t an insurrectionist!’
Are Driver’s Licenses Being Scanned Illegally in New Hampshire?
Since writing the first article, Are Convenience Stores Violating Your Privacy, I have been gathering more information and find the Driver License Scanning issue to be quite the bottomless rabbit hole.
A $620.00 Fine?
Londonderry Times publisher Deb Paul stood before a judge on Wednesday to receive her punishment. The crime was failing to include the ‘magic words’ identifying blatantly political ads as…political ads. The judgment hath arrived.
Audacity and the Future of Western Civilization
If you are not familiar with Konstantin Kisin make it a goal to do that. This Russian-British comedian, podcaster, writer, and social commentator (he’s politically non-binary) is brilliant, in my opinion, at not just on subject matter but delivery.
The White House Goes Rogue: Secret Surveillance Program Breaks All the Laws
“We are rapidly entering the age of no privacy, where everyone is open to surveillance at all times; where there are no secrets from government.” — William O. Douglas, dissenting in Osborn v. United States (1966)
Night Cap: Colorado Decision as Left-Wing Judicial Autoerotica
The response to the Colorado State Supreme Court’s decision to remove Donald Trump from the primary ballot has been nothing if not amusing. That was always my plan. How do we stir up the Left about their own supposed victory? Well, here’s another swizzel stick with which to stir.
Volodymyr Zhukovskyy Not Deported Due to War
How can this happen when the guy admitted to drug use, had multiple infractions, and was actually supposed to be suspended when the accident occurred because Massachusetts screwed up?
It Is Time To Take Back This Country
It is time to take off the gloves and get the knuckles bloody. It is time to stop playing softball and throw the heat high and inside, right under the chin. It is time to stop playing by their rules and take back this country.
Coal Plants on the Worldwide Chopping Block
COP28, the climate summit underway in Dubai through Dec. 12, has so far displayed a circus parade of aspiring celebrities jostling for superiority in the climate cult. Perhaps highest on the ridicu-ladder of nonsense, poised between a pontificating King Charles and a social justice Pope, is US climate envoy John Kerry’s absurd call to ban … Read more
Proximal Hedonistic Self-Interest and The End of Human Liberty
You may not be the sort to read something titled “That Moment When You Realize You’re Part of God’s Project; He’s Not Part of Yours” (even if not paywalled), but perhaps that is why you should.
Biden’s Deplorable Polling
It is sad to see the approval rating of our President, Joe Biden, fall to a new low of 34%. Biden is not my choice for President, but once elected, the President is the leader for all Americans. It is distressing that the man who garnered 81 million votes is doing such a poor job that his performance is approved by less than 40% of the people.
London Breed is Falling Down, Falling Down …
San Francisco Mayor London Breed has done the Dems in the Sh!tty by the Bay a solid without meaning to. She has exposed her Party for what it is. They will over-promise. They will run out of other people’s money. Things will have to be cut.
The Word You Are Looking for is ‘WOMEN’
Language is a curious thing; are are the wordsmiths in progressive major media who dance around the truth to tell you lies. Take this recent lede from NBC News. “A federal court will allow four cisgender runners to sue over Connecticut’s trans-inclusive policy, which they say deprived them of honors and opportunities.”
The Silver Lining in Colorado
A court in Colorado has announced that Donald Trump can’t be on the Republican primary ballot in March because the 14th Amendment somehow prohibits that.
Individual Rights and God-Given Freedoms
Tulsi Gabbard isn’t great on every issue, but she was better than most Democrats on a lot of issues (and more than a few Republicans) and has since left that Klan Bake to take up many a cause on the center-right.
Victims Retraumatized by New State Rules on Release of Criminally Insane
A recent hearing to consider whether dangerous killer David Peterson should be released from Whiting Forensic Division of Connecticut Valley Hospital (CVH) exposes a serious flaw in a recent change of Connecticut law. As a former Connecticut criminal defense attorney, I support legal protections for those institutionally committed for mental illness (as here). However, new … Read more
Navigating Expedia’s Review System: Boosting Your Vacation Rental Ratings
The reputation of hosts’ property listings is greatly influenced by Expedia’s review system, which also has a significant impact on guests’ decisions to make or not make reservations. Accordingly, it is smart for hosts using this platform to fully understand Expedia’s review system and know how to use it.
“Youth Voters” Are Nazis
A Harvard-Harris poll should be a wake-up call about the so-called “youth vote.” In a nutshell, they are a far, far greater threat to Americans who still hold traditional American values than Putin, Xi or whatever other foreign leader the grifter GOP “leadership” makes the enemy of the month. From the New York Post: … … Read more
