December 27, 2019

Yep, end of the decade coming up – so I’ll post a few “best of” posts over the next couple days. Let’s start with Political Ads. 2010: Dale Peterson, Alabama Ag Commissioner 2011: Have you slept with Rick Perry? Apparently someone wants to know. 2012: Paul Ryan kills Grandma 2013: Minneapolis Mayor “Wake the F— … Read more

Armed Teachers: Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell

December 27, 2019 Ian Underwood

A little while back, I was chatting with a teacher who wants to carry while she’s in the classroom. She’s wondering whether to ask her principal or superintendent about doing that.

Another TDS Oil-Price Spike Threat – One Percent. Price Spike? Seriously?

December 27, 2019 Steve MacDonald

I frequent a small number of energy sites and blogs, some of whose writers or editors have allowed Trump Derangement Syndrome to filter their content. Put another way; they get a lot wrong. Like the unavoidable 2018 recession. Sure. And hey, we have another oil price spike.

University’s “Respect for Authority” Rule Reminds Me of Demanding NH Democrat’s

December 27, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Long Island University Post (LIU) has this policy. It’s called Respect for Authority. You can be (arbitrarily) investigated for saying or writing things about those in power. It reminded me of our own New Hampshire Democrats and their cyberstalking public official’s bill.

Virginia Corrections Budget Gets Boost to Prepare for all the Gun Owners the State Will be Arresting

December 27, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Kudos for refusing to back down on your gun confiscation promises. And hey, the tone-deafness is impressive. Nearly every country has said they will not enforce any such laws and here you are, padding the corrections budget to incarcerate previously law-abiding gun owners who refuse to let you disarm them.

Puerto Rico’s New Common Sense Gun Law Makes It Easier to Possess and Carry a Firearm

December 27, 2019 Steve MacDonald

It is no longer a matter of debate. Democrats want to take your money and your guns. They speak openly about both with enthusiasm as if it is good for us. Their gun laws are not good for Detroit, or Baltimore, or Chicago, so has America’s largest territory seen that and turned a corner?

Notable Quote – John Dickinson

December 27, 2019 Skip

We cannot be happy, without being free…we cannot be free, without being secure in our property…we cannot be secure in our property, if, without our consent, others may, as by right, take it away. [Mankind’s] welfare…can be found in liberty only, and therefore her sacred cause ought to be espoused by every man on every … Read more

NH Democrat Congressman’s Restaurant is the Unidentified Source of a Norovirus Outbreak

December 27, 2019December 27, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Congressman Chris Pappas owns the Puritan Backroom Restaurant in Manchester, New Hampshire. In late November, 18 people contracted intestinal issues later identified as Norovirus. Not one local news outlet identified Congressman Pappas’ restaurant as the source in their reporting.

So tell me, which plague is worse?

December 26, 2019 Skip

Frankly, I think I’d rather have locusts. If Democrat Socialists and their Social Justice Warrior minions truly sent from God, they’re a plague far worse than what the Pharaoh ever had to deal with. Given that they’re here, does that mean we’re in the time of Revelations (heh! Or is that oy vas mir!!!) (H/T: … Read more

BlogQuestion of the Day: So I guess the “Wage Gap” is no longer a relevant question?

December 27, 2019December 26, 2019 Skip

You know, the Left will grab onto anything that is drifting by and weaponize it to forward a political agenda. Fortunately for us on the Right, their Left hand hasn’t figured out what their further Left hand has done or is doing and the same thing with their far Leftist hand. For decades, we’ve heard … Read more

Meet Professor Goldilocks – Climate Expert – University of East Anglia

December 26, 2019 Steve MacDonald

We’ll keep this one short and sweet. I just read a great comment under an article on another blog. The piece showed how the polar vortex, like most things cultishly climate, can adapt to the needs of their unimpeachable hypothesis.

Soviet-style multi-family High density housing

Virginia Dems Want to Override Local Zoning Control for “Multi-Family” Housing (Like NH!)

December 27, 2019December 26, 2019 Steve MacDonald

New Hampshire is pushing a bipartisan plan to relinquish Concord, the Courts, and Developers of the burden of local zoning. Why? Well, in Virginia some who also want more dense multi-family housing think single-family suburban homes are racist.

DISQUS Doodlings – as long as I brought up St. Greta Part 1

December 26, 2019 Skip

I just I’d follow up on my previous post on St. Greta Thunberg as over at Tree Hugger (where else, natch?), the eco-socialists / Watermelon Environmentalists HAVE annointed her as a saint. This post turned out to be a longer one than most – ok, I kinda “pushed” things along to make it happen but … Read more

In the never ending saga of eco-socialist St. Greta of Sweden

December 26, 2019December 26, 2019 Skip

Saint you say? How DARE you, Skip! Don’t you remember that the Church of Sweden called her the appointed successor of Jesus Christ? Yeah, well, read Revelations’ admonition about being neither hot or cold as far as TCoS is concerned. The Eco-Socialist movement, well, that’s another thing.

New Hampshire’s Bi-Partisan Usurpation of Local Control

April 13, 2025December 26, 2019 Jane Aitken

Michael Kitch’s November 22, 2019 article in the NH Business Review; “Taking on NH’s housing ‘crisis’ – Task force’s recommendations ‘a long time coming’” praises the Governor’s new plan to manage housing in NH. The plan is not an enhancement of local control, but a gross usurpation of it. And it could have dire consequences for … Read more

The Benefits and Setbacks Associated with Political Parties

December 26, 2019 Third Party Content

This refers to groupings of individuals working together by sharing a mutual ambition, vision, and goals for their respective communities. The associations could be formed nationally, regionally, or at local levels, meeting habitually, creating platforms representing their specific values and vision. Furthermore, they send their members or representatives to vie for political seats. The prime … Read more

Give Yourself a Day After Christmas Gift – Watch This! Mark Levin and Victor Davis Hanson

December 26, 2019 Steve MacDonald

I don’t like to tell people something is must-read or must-watch. It sounds pretentious and a bit totalitarian. But we’re always pulling on a thread. The ‘Be Trump’ theme. Upend the ruling class card table. And this conversation between Mark Levin and Victor Davis Hanson seems important to me.

Should We Force the Media to Write Corrections to Hate Crime Stories That are Hoaxes?

December 26, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Most hate crimes are never resolved in the media. They are reported with formula hyperbole until the political feeding frenzy begins. If the loop later closes, the case concludes, these defenders of truth are not there to say that many if not most of them are hoaxes.

In Trump’s America Saying ‘Merry Christmas’ is Dog Whistle White identity Politics

December 25, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The Left never sleeps. No corner of your life is not offensive to them. And far too many of them get paid to explain that to us. Most of those are “journalists.” One of which, named Amanda Marcotte, has decided that Merry Christmas is a dog whistle. For what?

Horowitz IG Report: “We Found…Evidence of People’s Political Bias”

December 25, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The two initial narratives sold by the liberal media after the release of the Horowitz report was that there was predication to spy, and no political bias. But yes, the Obama administration spied on Republicans. And Yes, it was biased.
