When I first heard of Joe Biden declaring January as Human Trafficking Prevention Month, I thought this was a story from the Babylon Bee site. I felt that even Joe Biden could never be so tone-deaf as to mock the most significant human trafficking operation in history by recognizing a tragic situation with a White House Declaration honoring its existence.
ICYMI – Bi-Partisan NH House Vote Bans Transition Surgery for Minors [Update!]
You’ll likely have heard the latest shot ’round the world. But, if not, a Democrat legislator in the New Hampshire House, speaking to his fellow members, said that while he supports transgender people, he could not condone surgical intervention on children.
So Kids, What Did We Learn From Thursday’s House Session (1/4/24)?
We learned that today we were able to finish up all of the leftover 2023 retained House bills and were successful in passing some really good bills… and killed some bad ones, too. It was a good two days!
Electric Vehicles Are Doomed To Fail
In a story that seems to be becoming increasingly common as time goes on, The Western Journal reported this week about a Canadian EV owner experiencing some massive sticker shock over the cost of replacing the damaged battery in his electric vehicle.
Something Good
Well, Happy New Year to all, and now that we are officially in 2024, I’m turning my attention to election-year politics (as if it’s not always really). So I welcomed a call from Lily Tang Williams, who ran in a bid to face Annie Kuster two years ago and intends to run for another chance to displace “rubber stamp” Annie.
Gun Control Group Can’t Control Itself – Breaks Multiple Laws It Advocated
Most of the groups and members of groups who hate or fear firearms are clueless about them. They’ve never fired one, carried one, or paid a moment’s attention to the detrimental side effects that follow the laws they advocate. Oh, and sometimes – if you are these idiots – you break the laws you demanded.
The Unravelling of Our Armed Forces
For those old enough to remember or who may have served during the Vietnam era, the impact that war had on the fabric of our military and our nation was truly devastating. It was compounded by the nation’s apathy and, at times, outright hostility towards those who served.
Jimmy Kimmel vs. Aaron Rodgers … Jimmy Didn’t Deny He Visited The Island
“Jimmy” Kimmel is one of those tough guys … oh, I’m sorry: tough persons … on the Left who can dish it out but not take it. Here’s “Jimmy” acting like a bitch in response to Aaron Rodgers speculating that “Jimmy” will be on the Epstein List.
DeSantis And Florida Took the Janus Decision to Its Next Logical Step
Teacher’s Unions are sinister private entities whose only concern is how much money they can make and how best to use that to impact politics at every level of government. Sure, Janus v. AFSCME was a great decision, but the war against public employee unions continues, and Ron DeSantis is leading that fight.
BEAR Pond Conservative Chronicles: In Maine, “The Dinner Table” Links True Conservatives
About three years ago, two Conservatives from Maine created a grassroots organization to lobby the State Legislature to pass laws that align with traditional Maine values and assist Conservative Republican candidates in their quest for office.
The First 86 Names Linked to Ghislane Maxwell Trial Doc Dump
When these documents were pried (rhetorically) from Jeffy Epstein’s dead hands – or, more accurately, stemming from Virginia Giuffre’s lawsuit against short-term New Hampshire property owner Ghislaine Maxwell – the names on that alleged list were not easy to find.
So Kids, What Did We Learn From Wednesday’s House Session (1/3/24)?
We learned that today was the first of two days this week that the House will determine the fate of around 66 bills that were retained from last year. We voted on 37 of those bills today.
Absent No More
According to retired Wall Street Journal’s executive Washington editor Gerald Seib, candidate Trump has an advantage being his party’s front-runner since the primary “rules and calendar are designed to help a front-runner sew up the nomination quickly.”
Night Cap: Derry Helps Add to the National Debt
The federal government has put the nation so far in debt that it has become common practice for the ‘Grok to remind anyone they are encouraging taxation without representation. You are spending the labor of Americans who won’t be born for years and have no voice but will be responsible for the spending and debt service.
Did Claudine Gay Kill DEI?
The story of the sudden collapse of Harvard President Claudine Gay’s career should have nothing to do with DEI. The storyline should be about someone not qualified and prepared for the job being removed before any more damage could be done to the Harvard brand. But Gay herself made this situation about race with her poorly worded resignation.
Climate Warriors Send Chilling Message
Climate alarmists have long warned that extreme cold weather events are a consequence of climate change and will worsen. Weather records, however, demonstrate this is not true. It is challenging to trust absolutist claims of anthropogenic climatic warming when those making such claims display such ideological dishonesty.
2023 Person Of The Year
THIRD PLACE: Tucker Carlson. When he was fired by Faux News in April, Tucker Carlson was supposed to go gently into the good night. He didn’t. By defying Faux, Tucker exposed Faux as merely “controlled opposition,” as opposed to a real conservative alternative to Regime-media.
Mass Non-Compliance Presents a Major Political Challenge…For Democrats
Starting in 2024, the Protect Illinois Communities Act (PICA) requires residents of Illinois who own a variety of so-called ‘assault rifles’ to register these guns with the state police.
Meme Overflow
As promised in Monday Memes, I have an overflow. And hang on baby… Friday’s coming!
Another Desperate Gambit by Democrats
We like to think of judges as learned arbiters, thoroughly knowledgeable in the finer details of the law and, above all, eminently honest and fair – nonpartisan and unbiased. That’s especially true of Supreme Court justices.
