I recently got the following from a NH Republican House Legislator (who asked for anonymity) lamenting our “political elite” on both sides of the aisle. You know, like NH State Rep Kris Roberts (D): “Government has to protect us from our own stupidity.” However, this is about the Republicans.
12 Days of Boosters
Hey, it’s still Christmas but given the yammering in our faces all the time of “wear a mask,” “get vaxxed,” get vaxxed AND wear a mask,” get your booster”….this, I think encapsulates all of our frustrations and the inanity that our “betters” are subjecting us to almost on an hourly basis.
ACLU Says Elf on a Shelf Normalizes Surveillance State

Quote of the Day – “When we complained about schools, they said ‘why don’t you get involved?’ … “
Sometimes when you are close to the topic or subject the obvious walks past you in a bright red dress and you fail to notice. Or maybe you do but you are distracted. I just read a comment and felt like that.
Christmas Week Karma – Two Pro-Defund Police Dems Carjacked (In Two Different States) in One 24-Hour Period
The results of the defund-democrats war on policing have already been time-tested. Minneapolis tried it, and crime skyrocketed, a problem duplicated in liberal cities across the looted plains.
And Now, Something Christmasy on Christmas
I’ve shared a few posts with Christmas references or tied to Christmas but nothing truly Christmas-like. You know, Christmasy. This is that. The Hillsdale Choir sings, O’Holy Night. Enjoy it.
Kevin Baywatch Smith, Susan Collins and the Ukraine
Kevin Baywatch Smith is sounding more and more like a candidate for the United States Senate … and more and more like Mitt Romney.
For example, his ideal for a United States Senator is Susan Collins:
Note to Holocaust Survivors and Their Families – Canada Rail Puts a Yellow Tag on You before You Board a Train…
File this under what the…heck. In Canada, rail officials are placing a yellow tag on riders as they board trains, adding a bit of irony to the nation’s older title as a Dominion.
Christmas Shopping in LA: Pickaxe Wielding Woman “Robs” Local Rite-Aid
Here’s a feel-good public interest story for you. A woman was “captured” on surveillance video in Los Angeles, grabbing a few last-minute stocking stuffers armed with a pickaxe.
Not Being a Scrooge, we’re (Probably) taking Christmas Easy – Posting Could be Light (or, maybe not!)

Is Kamala’s “Christmas Wish” To Be White and Male?
The miserable and unpopular Kamal Harris is grinchy about her media coverage. The first female vice president, also a woman of some color, thinks she’d get better press if she were white and male? Seriously?
Need a Laugh (Sort of) – “It’s Beginning to Look a lot Like … Genocide”
The parody lyrics are very well done but as the person who forwarded it noted, it’s hard to watch. Set to the tune of “It’s Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas,” someone has a cheery-sounding message about the seriousness of the political response to COVID19.

JR Hoell and Family – GiveSendGo Status
Steve reminded us of this. Jim Kofalt reminded us of this. Andrew Manuse reminded us of this. Now I am as well.
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like … North Korea
This (tweet below) is something just two years ago you would have expected to see in North Korea, not the White House. Note how the nurses singing for Dear Leader and Dr. Dear Leader were obviously chosen by skin color and gender. CREEPY.
Help Move a NH Prog to a Blue State and Bring Back a Liberty Advocate in Exchange to Live Here
Living in a state where every legislative action goes against one’s core ethical foundation is quite hard: few people are more aware of this than Free Staters. I, for example, have lived in NYC, NJ, Chicago, Boulder, and Boston. Every day I would awaken to headlines championing some oppressive legislation, which directly conflicted with my fundamental ethical belief in each person’s self-ownership.
Naughty or Nice? How about Naughty But Nice?
It’s that time of year, and we’ve taken to the interwebs to consult the digital traffic Santa to see who has been naughty or nice. Or, in our case, naughty and nice?
City Alderman Compares (Not) Wearing a Mask to Drunk Driving
Aldermen/Attorney Dave Tencza has equated the choice of mask-wearing to drunk driving. A poorly conceived parallel. “No one has the absolute right to drive drunk.,” said Tencza at Tuesday’s Board of Aldermen meeting.
