This is something I’ve been thinking about for a while, and now that the Democrats are casting (some might say flailing) around for ways to make society ‘more fair’, it might be the perfect time for someone to try to introduce the appropriate legislation.
USA Today – Bomb Cyclone Nuclear Winter Snow Hurricane Disaster Hits Central US…or Something
These hyperbolic media pronouncements are getting out of hand. Don’t ask how I ended up there but the MSN headline reads: Bomb Cyclone Hits Central US with Blizzard and Fierce Winds. If you click it, and who wouldn’t (cuz’ that’s the point) there’s a USA Today article.
Breaking News: NH Red Flag Bill Fails to Pass in Committee – Bill Retained.
More details will follow but I have been told that the motion for “ought to pass” on the Red Flag Bill (HB687) failed. The committee then moved to retain the legislation and that motion passed. That’s all we have at the moment. But it looks like the worst anti-gun bill ever conceived in New Hampshire history … Read more
Hamas – CAIR – Connection in Congress:
Describe CAIR CAIR, the Council on American–Islamic Relations is a self proclaimed non-profit Muslim civil rights and advocacy group. Critics of CAIR, such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE), have accused it of pursuing an Islamist agenda and have claimed that the group is connected to Hamas, and the Muslim Brotherhood. CAIR rejects these claims … Read more
Democrat Corruption: Obama’s DOJ Told the FBI Not to Charge Hillary Clinton
Going all the way back to the Tarmac meeting between Bill Clinton and AG Loretta Lynch in 2016 we knew “grandchildren” was code for, ‘You’re not prosecuting Hillary, right?’ And so it was. Testimony by Lisa Page from last summer (just released) confirms it.
New Hampshire Democrats Retain Oppressive Carbon Tax Bill in Committee
Remember HB735, the New Hampshire Democrat’s carbon tax bill? It would suck hundreds of millions of dollars out of the state economy every year. Kill jobs. Hurt families. It’s not dead. It has been retained in committee. Which means it could come back to life without warning to kill our economy.
New Mexico’s “Green New Deal” and Their Oil for Education Funding Dilemma
New Mexico’s gun-grabbing governor just signed the Energy Transition Act. This bold and innovative grasp at the impossible requires the state to shift to 50% renewable energy by 2030 and 100% by 2045. A state that relies on massive amounts of oil and gas revenue to fund public education.
CNN: Democrats Can’t Decide If they Are Antisemites Because They Are More Diverse
The big news over at CNN is how unfair President Trump is for taking advantage of Democrats diversity. One analyst argued that this was the source of the parties difficulties in crafting a response to antisemitic remarks by one of its members. We’re just not sophisticated enough to know the difference division and debate.
N.H. Democrats killed bill to make college more affordable
The Democrats in the New Hampshire House of Representatives defeated House Bill 673 on Feb. 27. This bill would have allocated $100,000 to pay the cost of taking exams to acquire college credits. The bill was defeated by a vote of 202-141. The majority opposing the bill included 199 Democrats and three Republicans. The minority … Read more
Utah Teacher Apologizes for Making Student Scrub Ash-Cross from his Forehead
The new narrative in the case of a Utah public school teacher who asked a student to scrub his Ash-Wednesday cross from his forehead is that it looked like dirt. A smudge. Just being thoughtful, No harm intended. The student’s grandmother isn’t buying it.
“I guess we have to pass it to see what’s in it” – HB 687 rewritten again
Not quite 15 hours from the hearing in which it will be voted Ought to Pass or Inexpedient Legislate, HB 687, Extreme Risk Protections Orders or “Red Flags”, has been rewritten once again. I guess Democrat sponsor Debra Altschiller don’t need no stinking citizens to see it or read it or testify against it. And … Read more
That was Meat? – Mayor de Blasio Forces Meatless Mondays on NYC Schools to Save the Planet
If you’ve ever had cafeteria food, you might be thinking public schools with mystery meat Mondays were already meatless. But just to be safe, because virtue signaling knows no limits, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is implementing them anyway. Meatless Mondays. To save the planet.
Dems Don’t-Wanna Impeach, No More, No More …
It may not mean anything. After all, San Fran Nan doesn’t have control of her raucous caucus. But she says she does not favor impeaching President Trump. Why? Swallow any liquids before you read this. It divides the country.
Quick Shot: Sex In Sport – Women Can’t Compete With Men in Professional Sports
The long and short of it is this. Male Professional athletes will beat their female counterparts no matter what gender anyone claims. This excerpt from Sex in Sport makes that point about as clearly as you can. Testerone matters. And you can’t even pretend to make it close.
Trump’s Budget Proposes 2.7 Trillion in Cuts – Largest Budget Cut In US History?
Trumps biggest disappointment over his tenure (from our point of view) was spending. But he appears to be trying to rectify that. I’d question the timing. We’d have had a good deal more success cutting the budget with Republican majorities in both chambers, which is to say, at least a snowball’s chance in hell. With a Democrat majority House, we have none. But maybe that’s the point?
What is a constitution for?
If you’re looking for a single image that sums up what a constitution is for, and why it’s important to follow one, a good candidate is Ulysses passing the Island of Sirens.
From ESAs to EARP — An exercise in accurate naming
Confucius said that the first step towards wisdom is to call things by their right names. It’s a good rule to live by. If you misname something, you won’t really be able to think about it correctly, because you’ll be thinking about what it’s called, rather than about what it is. On the other hand, if you name something very accurately and precisely, many of the straw man arguments against it can’t gain any traction.
Let’s apply this reasoning to ESAs, or Education Savings Accounts, and see where it takes us.
Why Does Merrimack Need $20,000.00 Per Student Per Year?
The proposed budget for the Merrimack School system is 77.6 million dollars. That’s the entire cost to run the district for one year. An endeavor that exists, at least in theory, with one purpose. Educate children. But not very many of them. Which begs the question? Why so much for so little?
Jeanne Shaheen Said ‘Global Warming’ Would “Mess” With Maple Syrup Season and ‘She’s Right’
For the first time in a few years, the sap’s not running yet. No, I don’t mean Democrat contenders for President. We’ve got more of those that we can shake a stick at or maybe a tree tap. I refer to the annual ritual of “blogger writing about maple syrup as a canary in the Global warming coal mine.”
‘Hold The Line’ Micro–Interview: NH State Rep Jeanine Notter
Saturday, the Women’s Defense League of NH held its Fifth Annual Gun Rally on the State House plaza in Concord NH (noon to 3pm). I arrived early, set up my cameras, and then had some time to do what I like doing – microinterviews with folks at events. Here I had a few moments with NH … Read more
