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
Could This Be The Congress That Ends Switching the Clocks Twice A Year?
Would it surprise you to know that Daylight Savings Time was a plot concocted by the Kaiser in WWI? It was imported to the US in 1918 and has plagued us in various forms ever since. Until 1966 when Congress forced it on all but a few locals who said screw you.
Connecticut Anti-Gun Activist Threatens State Senator and NRA Members – “If I had a Gun…”
In keeping with the trend of left-wing shooters gunning down innocent people, “An anti-gun activist was removed from a gun hearing in Connecticut Monday after sending an iMessage threatening to shoot a legislator and NRA members.” If you missed Rep.

WDLNH ‘Hold the Line” Fifth Annual Gun Rally – Sid Spreadbury: A Moment of Silence for Patriots Passed
Here is that other somber moment that I spoke about earlier during the Women’s Defense League of NH’s Fifth Annual Gun Rally, Hold the Line! The NH III%ers provided security for the attendees as well as the single Concord policeman and five State Police I saw on the sidewalk. They were (presumably) in front of the State House … Read more
Different Time But the Same Old Request – More Money
I found this in a stack of old Town Reports someone gave me years ago, page #32: The problem of education is a difficult one to solve in towns like this, where there are but few scholars in a district and a small amount of school money. We hope to see a law whereby smaller … Read more
Personal Endorsement: Rick Notkin for Gilford Budget Committee
Consider this a personal endorsement of Rick Notkin for Gilford Budget Committee. I’ve known him for a couple of years now and he literally is a straight shooter AND will watch over how your tax monies are spent just as miserly as I do! Please, if you want someone that supports limited government, please give … Read more
WDLNH “Hold the Line” Fifth Annual Gun Rally – Safety Check
You certainly wouldn’t hear these words at a Granite State Progress or Moms Demand Action rally – certainly not! Even at the mention of the word, or a pencil drawing of said inanimate object, they’d quiver themselves into a heap like the Wicked Witch of the West (water not included or necessary). They believe that … Read more
Black Transgender Woman Arrested for Randomly Pepper-Spraying White People
An individual commits as many as seven racist “hate crimes,” no film at 11 or any other time. The attacker was not white. They were not wearing an NRA T-shirt, a MAGA hat, and no Flags on their clothes (American, Gadsden). Not worth reporting. She was a black transgender woman.
‘Hold The Line’ Micro–Interview: NH State Rep John Burt
This past Saturday, before the Women’s Defense League of NH held its Fifth Annual Gun Rally on the State House Plaza I spoke with NH State Rep John Burt about the bills going through his Public Safety and Criminal Justice Committee. I also asked what he thought about Shannon Watts and the “clutching pearls” controversy … Read more

Unfortunately, a nagging case of pneumonia caused me to miss the opportunity to come to Concord to testify against the proposed Red Flag Law. But here’s what I would have said.

Utah Teacher Put on Leave After Making Student Wash off Ash Wednesday Cross
This story broke last week, but I never got around to it. Just as well. There’s news. A student who went to school after Ash Wednesday Mass arrived with an ash cross on his forehead. His teacher ignored the student’s pleas about his faith and made him wash it off. That teacher is now on administrative leave.
WDLNH ‘Hold the Line” Fifth Annual Gun Rally – Susan Olsen
