California Democrat Eric Swalwell is excited. The House Judiciary Committee has hearings next week. And what’s getting jiggy with it in his California head? The idea that there is a right to safety that supersedes all others. And that Congress must act on the right to “safety” to the detriment of everything else.
Here Come the Bigots
Nicole Klein Knight is a State Representative for Manchester’s Ward Four. As you might glean from this tweet, she is a Democrat: Nicole sees people not as individuals, but members of groups. If you are old; if you are white; if you are a man … you have no worth as a human being. That … Read more
Money can’t buy love. Or education.
Our representatives in Concord are currently discussing how much money school districts require, where that money should come from, and how it should be collected.
But three simple graphs are sufficient to demonstrate decisively that money is not the issue.
The first graph shows that since 1970, tripling school spending (in inflation-adjusted dollars) has had no effect on student achievement:
I’m Not Sure If I Believe Governor “Coonman”
Opposition researchers finally found Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s racist college photos – but they belong to the Governor of Virginia. What a strange world we live in. I watched some of the press conference during a break from splitting wood and quickly went back to splitting wood. I didn’t hear anyone in the assembled … Read more

Virginia Governor Ralph Northam’s Horrible Awful Week (Infanticide, Blackface, Klan Edition)
We ended last week with news of Andrew Cuomo’s One World Trade Center Woody in celebration of New York’s embrace of infanticide. A few days later I added some thoughts about clinics closing if they couldn’t perform abortions. In the midst of that news broke about a bill in Virginia that would allow abortion when a woman is dilating. That’s, giving birth. When asked for his thoughts the Governor of Virginia probably ended his political career.
Tales from the BudComm – the LSR is now a Bill!
For someone that has written about the legislative process for years, it is a much different viewpoint when you involve yourself directly in the sausage factory. No, I haven’t become a “factory worker” (a legislator) but a constituent that saw a flaw in the State Statutes (or “RSAs”) and decided “why NOT me” in proposing … Read more
NH GOP Convention – GrokInterviews: Michelle Levell
At the 2019 Annual NH GOP Convention, I caught up with educational activist, current Chair of the Womens’ Defense League of NH, and NH GOP Committee Member (and Grokster!) Michelle Levell. The single question, as I promised to be short, was “what do you expect to see as the end results?” Oh, as you can … Read more
Immigration Reform… For America Not Of America
Instead of focusing on amnesty, Congress should focus on immigration reforms that would benefit America. There is nothing wrong with having the American Congress take action to benefit America. The needed immigration reforms should include ending chain migration, adopting an skills, education, and investment capital based system and getting rid of the diversity quotas. Chain … Read more
603 Alliance – GrokInterviews at the 603 Alliance “Thank YOU” event – NH State Rep John Potucek
At the 603 Alliance “Thank YOU!” event a week ago this past Saturday in Manchester, I was asked to go around and do a few quick interviews of both 603 Board members, those that assisted during their candidate events, and some candidates as well. Next on my “interview hit list” was NH State Rep John … Read more
Palate Cleanser: #MuseumBowl
Just when I was all done with the hype for the upcoming Patriots game, here come the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, engaging in first-class trash talking. Get thee to Twitter and search for #MuseumBowl. The tweets there have made my day. Five rings are better than … Read more
Seacoast Luddites Consider Blocking Powerline Project – Must Like it Cold and Dark
When Granite State Enviro-wackos are not blocking paths to more affordable energy they are taxing the crap out of it. Making us pay more for it. Or, in the case of a powerline project in the seacoast, considering if and how best to block it.
Abby Johnson’s Story: The Pro-Life Feature Film, “Unplanned” in Theater’s March 29th
Unplanned is the story of Abby Johnson. Abby was an up and comer at Planned Parenthood. An employee of the year. The youngest clinic manager in the companies history (according to the trailer). And one of its highest-profile defections.
Louis Farrakhan Still Wants a Separate State for Black Americans
According to Louis Farrakhan God still wants a Separate State for Black Americans. It’s not a new idea. He’s been pitching it for years – not for himself but God. I wonder if he got the idea from Israel? That’s a joke. Farrakhan has been in the news a good deal for his anti-Semitism. “Will … Read more
Hipster Ethnic Cleansing
Get this, a liberal writer pens a piece about how age-stratified her new community is! Duh? She moved to Austin, Texas – a multiple college town of all things. This gal has “community organizer” written all over her. Here is a great quote: “When I go to events and restaurant openings, I see a lot … Read more
Quick Shot: Trump Economy Has Been Better for Blue Collar Wages Than White
I don’t think we have to worry about the left or the media announcing how Mr. Trump is good for the everyday working man. And not just because they’d never dare call them “working man.” But, as it turns out, Trump’s policies are better for everyday joe and jane sixpack.
Meet the GOP Fascists
This follows up on a post by Steve about the eleven GOP Representatives who joined the Democrats in voting against repealing the law establishing no-free-speech zones outside abortion clinics. I previously posted about the no-free-speech zones: Planned Parenthood’s contention that the law is about safety is laughable. The law does not limit itself to obstructing, … Read more
Taxes: Can we have too much of a good thing?
Progressive taxes: What is the definition of too much? Americans generally accept the concept of progressive tax rates. We do. That is a fact of life. But our tax rates must not be punitive or de-motivating. Allowing those things to occur causes damage to the social fabric. That is the problem with socialism. What Socialists … Read more
Where in the World Is Ruth Bader Ginsburg?
We predicted that Justice Ginsburg would be retiring by the end of January. It may be necessary to reimagine what the word retirement means. She has not officially declared herself no longer a working justice. But she has not appeared for work. And the media are ignoring that almost entirely. We could call these things … Read more
NH GOP Convention – GrokInterviews: NH State Rep Dave Testerman (R-Franklin)
In roaming the Pinkerton Academy auditorium, I bumped into NH State Rep Dave Testerman from Franklin. He also agreed to a quick interview with the same short question that I was asking others: “what do you expect to see as the end results?”
