Each Sunday, I want to take a step away from daily politics and focus on someone who has done extraordinary things or who we may need to know a little better. This week’s focus is on Tulsi Gabbard.
Chuck and Kevin Are Giving Hassan a Free Pass on the Ukraine Grift
My recent post about the latest Ukraine grift, the House passing … over the “no” votes of ONLY 57 Republicans … $40 billion MORE to go into that Black Hole known as aid-to-Ukraine, has generated some interest.
Survival Sunday
First, remember I am merely an “enlightened amateur” as far as anything survival goes. Please vet & check on your own. Consider these to be priming the pump for your own investigations.
What if We Follow the “Science” of ‘Big Pharma’ Kickbacks to NIH “Scientists”
If Don Trump Jr were getting checks from pharmaceutical reps to pimp Ivermectin, that’d be big news. You’d have a hard time not knowing about it. Public interest, and all that. So, where is the 24/7/365, wall-to-wall, “breaking news” coverage of this?
Is Your Public School Pushing Your Child Toward Suicide?
In this short clip from Dr. Gary Thompson, he explains the severe damage caused to children when they are blamed and shamed. That can happen when Critical Race Theory apologists push that radicalized hate-filled political agenda in the classroom.
Biden Makes Progress On His Pledge To Unify America …
Credit where credit is due, okay? President Biden is following through on Candidate Biden’s pledge to unify the country. His regime-change, proxy war against Russia has unified most of Congress.
Did Gunstock Area Commissioner Gary Kiedaisch Really Believe That Chair Peter Ness Would Do as He Demanded about GraniteGrok?
I mentioned this email by GAC Commish Kiedaisch complaining about GraniteGrok during the last segment of GrokTALK! (YAY! We’re BACK!) that we recorded last Monday (with special guest Rob Russell of 2A Tactical who is also suffering from similar political action in Barrington).
Quick Thought: So, Ukrainians Don’t Have to Pay Taxes on Captured Russian Tanks or Such?
Other than Letters of Marque in the US Constitution (Article I, Section 8, Clause 11: To declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water”), I can’t remember the IRS putting out such a notice that if you take an enemy’s stuff off the battlefield, you don’t have to report it.
How Did Putin Get Biden to Shut Down America’s Largest Domestic Oil and Gas Lease Sale Last Week?
If everything is Vladimir Putin’s fault, we might want to consider why he has so much influence over America but only since Joe Biden became president? Any takers? Okay, let’s try something a bit easier.
Gender Pay Gap Compromise – a Company Funded Junket to an Abortion Hotspot
I was recently reminded that I was attacked at a candidates’ event several years ago for telling the truth about the so-called “gender gap.” You can’t just divide the total number of women working by their salary and compare that to the total number of men working divided by theirs.
Notable Quote – So What Do Property, Prices, and Profit Have to Do with Each Other?
Absent the three Ps of property, prices, and profit and loss, individuals will be devoid of the incentives and information required to continually innovate and coordinate their plans to realize the gains from trade and the gains from innovation.
Open Letter to Representative Pat Long (D) Manchester
Dear Rep. Long: I have been an active parental rights advocate in New Hampshire for about 20 years now. During this time, I have never received a dime in compensation. I advocate on behalf of parents in New Hampshire because it’s the right thing to do.
NH Senate Debate – Parental Bill of Rights
May 5, 2022 was the Senate hearing on HB1431 – a Parental Bill of Rights I asked both NH State Reps Paul Terry and Jeffrey Gleeson Greeson (thanks John, for the correction!) for comment. Paul Terry sent this commentary in with this link: Lo and behold, in the article covering Sen. Kahn’s announced retirement from … Read more
Why We Can’t Have Substantive Public Discussions
At the most recent meeting of the Croydon school board, I was talking to a well-educated journalist — at least, given who she works for, I assume she’s well-educated — who seemed to be unable to grasp the difference between taking something from someone and not giving something to someone.
Flip Flop on Right Called Evolving on Left
When a Republican changes their mind on any subject, they are said to Flip Flop. Some feel that you should never reassess your position even if new data comes to light.
Palate Cleanser: shooting an egg at 50 Frames/sec, then 10,000, then 50,000; 100,000 fps; then…
Shot speed: 747 mph. From not seeing the bullet at all, to seeing it traverse the egg, to seeing the rifling applied to the round, can see the shock wavse (leading and trailing), to seeing the impact without the exit immediately. The faster the frame speed, the more details you can see. Up to 1,000,000 frames … Read more
Possibly Dumbest Thing I’ve Heard Someone Say, Ever
At Wednesday’s school board meeting in Croydon, a former school board member and current math teacher — the latter detail turns out to be important — stood up to say that he is ‘happy to help pay to educate other people’s children.’
Data Point: “World Map of Billionaires”
Capitalism – while this economic system has lifted up more people out of poverty than any other, it has also created almost unimaginable wealth for some. Inequality is part and parcel of it – some perform better than others, some can recognize opportunity faster than others, and others can serve their fellow man far better … Read more

Is WMUR willing to lower the cost of your Daycare and make it more available? I didn’t think so…
This past Tuesday, WMUR ran a piece about how hard it is to get Daycare for the little ones. I can commiserate as TMEW and I own and ran such a center back in the early ‘naughts. I wanted our own business, TMEW had the degrees, and that meant we could supply our own afterschool … Read more
