Congressional Dems are butting heads with President Trump over his demand for $5 billion to continue building a wall along the southern border. Likely incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi vows she won’t spend one dollar for a wall and calls the idea “immoral.”
Not building the wall is what’s truly immoral.
Last time I knew, that was call “extortion” (“nice country you have there, shame if we were to enter it”). Yup, that’s what they’re doing – people that shouldn’t be here, didn’t bother to follow our laws, making demands on no basis at all. How about another choice: go home? Oh, and note how they’ve learned the lingo from the American Left who holds that America is horrible (reformatted, emphasis mine):
Migrant group demand Trump either let them in or pay them each $50G to turn around: report
Two groups of Central American migrants marched to the U.S. Consulate in Tijuana on Tuesday with a list of demands, with one group delivering an ultimatum to the Trump administration: either let them in the U.S. or pay them $50,000 each to go home, a report said. Among other demands were that deportations be halted and that asylum seekers be processed faster and in greater numbers, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported. The first group of caravan members, that included about 100 migrants, arrived at the consulate around 11 a.m. Alfonso Guerreo Ulloa, an organizer from Honduras, said the $50,000 figure was chosen as a group.
“It may seem like a lot of money to you,” Ulloa told the paper. “But it is a small sum compared to everything the United States has stolen from Honduras.”
Right. Let’s see, 10,000 illegals X $50,000 works out to be $500 million – that’s not just “walking around” (pun intended) money. Yet, they feel entitled for that
I’m not sure why, in the modern age, the Left hasn’t been more persistent about doing away with gendered prisons? Wait. Now I remember. Most felons don’t vote (yet). Or perhaps it hadn’t occurred to them? Well, it occurred to Ian Huntley. He’s serving 40-years for the murder of two 10-year old girls in 2002. And he’d like a transfer to a women’s’ prison.
We’ve been reporting on this (likely) outcome since May, so there is some obligation on our part to report the results. The court that threw out Stormy Daniels frivolous defamation case against the President and has ordered her to pay Mr. Trump over 294,000.00 dollars for his trouble.
Hat tip to Tony Heller at Real Climate Science for the headline. It’s a direct quote. Because he is so right. He wrote it below the above image. The graph shows the relationship between the prophesied tipping point (too much CO2 in the atmosphere) and the number of record hot days. Those things we were told … Read more
Mmmm, yeah, and I kept my doctor, too:
“And most folks can find coverage for $50 to $100/month. That’s probably less than your cell phone bill.”
No jump shots. No ferns. No memes. Not this time. I’m going to give it to you straight: If you need health insurance for 2019, the deadline to get covered is December 15. Go to https://t.co/ob1Ynoesod today and pass this on — you just might save a life. pic.twitter.com/8mHMsXGY0g

Yeah, we’ve heard that line as well. Of COURSE it’s affordable – when someone else is paying for it (and not when it’s not). Now, my cell bill, for two lines, is much less than $100 but a bit more than $50. But tell me, WHO else has health insurance for that amount of money – if they have to pay for it themselves? Especially as Chief Proctologist & Hectorer-in-Chief (in politics, that is) Zandra Rice-Hawkins (who is rather upset because REPUBLICANS ARE SABOTAGING Obamacare – who would EVER think that??):
Sidenote: WHY is Rice-Crispies being quoted in the Charlotte Observer? Why would they down there care about what’s happening here in NH?
For in our own time, the earlier, naturalistic revolution against God replaced the name ‘God’ by the name ‘Nature’. Almost everything else was left unchanged. Theology, the Science of God, was replaced by the Science of Nature; God’s laws by the laws of Nature; God’s will and power by the will and power of Nature (the natural forces); and later, God’s design and God’s judgment by Natural Selection. Theological determinism was replaced by a naturalistic determinism; that is, God’s omniscience and omnipotence were replaced by the omniscience and omnipotence of the Natural Sciences.
Hegel and Marx replaced the goddess Nature, in her turn, by the goddess History. So we get laws of History; powers, forces, tendencies, designs, and plans, of History; and the omniscience and omnipotence of historical determinism. Sinners against God are replaced by ‘criminals who vainly resist the march of History’; and we learn that not God but History will be our judge.
-Karl Popper (A Pluralist Approach to the Philosophy of History)
Yep, the Progressives’ “Arc of History” bit – a crock in its entirety. History just “is” – it is just what has happened in the past and has no agency, in and of itself, to sway the agency of actual live humans. A recording, yes, but nothing more (regardless of the nonsense that Obama spewed in using it). Same with nature – nature is also “just is”
It’s a sad tale of a boondoggling boondoggler (Les Otten) who sold the state on a plan. Jobs for the North Country he said. As far as the eye can see. Just approve this “loan guarantee” and the private money will fall from the sky. We’ll be paying you back in wheelbarrows full of business taxes before … Read more
The Democrats want complete civilian disarmament such that only The State has the ability to utilize Force. So they pass law after law to make that happen because SAFETY AND SECURITY! Which of course, the rest of us know will never happen. Of course, these Safety folks have no regard for the flip side: Rights and Freedom. Which, I point out, they don’t care about. And yet, this happens (reformmated and emphasis mine):
Of course, watch the meltdown when you point out that the state with the most strict gun control had it’s already high homicide rate jump up nearly 18 percent from 2014 to 2016. California, a state with every gun control imaginable, witnessed an 18 percent rise in firearm homicides from 2014 to 2016. This rise in firearm homicides comes despite the fact that Democrats, gun control groups, and the establishment media constantly claim that states with the strictest gun controls see lower rates of violence and death.
Ayup – the thought of “mice and men” streams through my head at this. And yet, it is never enough. EVAH!
It is the end of the semester; my students did their final semester project Presentation and last night I finished up with the giving them their final grades. One more “activity” done – six still left on the plate but this really will free up a lot of time (about a day to 2 days a week). Another month and one more will be done as well (but much less time has been spent on that this year). So, in surfing around, it looks like others are also tallying up their students’ grades – and one set of SJWs are looking to use their students’ grades as a political cudgel (translation: no boundaries in conducting political warfare and it doesn’t matter who they hurt; reformatted, emphasis mine):
Teaching assistants at the University of North Carolina have threatened to hold up to 2,200 grades if school officials do not reconsider their plan for the controversial “Silent Sam” statue. This past Monday, UNC officials announced the memorial to Confederate soldiers would be housed in a new campus facility. That evening, protesters took to the streets to voice their displeasure. On Friday, activists announced online that 79 teaching assistants had signed a petition in opposition to the Silent Sam plan, and indicated they would “withhold [the] grades” if Chancellor Carol Folt and the UNC Board of Trustees did not relent.
I believe that the operative word is extortion – and they should be legally treated as extortionists! All over the “Silent Sam” (an unknown Confederate soldier) statue that was toppled by student / SJW vandals because SLAVERY! Anything they deem to be “wrong” must be destroyed, erased, and thrown down the Memory Hole – not just put somewhere else.
Over the summer, the Department of Education reviewed the home education statutes and rules in their preparation of a technical advisory regarding Participating Agencies. We alerted the department to widespread misunderstandings of districts and private schools regarding home education reporting requirements. This problem was exacerbated by sample policies provided by the NH School Board Association to their member boards … Read more
In the last legisaltive session the New Hampshire (Republican Majority™) legislature overrode Governor Sununu’s veto of the Biomass bailout Bill. SB365 forces electricity providers like Eversource to pay above market rates for power from wood-burning plants. That increase is passed on to consumers.
A radio station, in response to “listeners” pulled the song ‘Baby it’s cold outside” from its playlist. Why? The lyrics are from a different time. But today, they sound a bit creepy. They’ve got a date rape vibe. That’s what the listeners thought. Or, at least the station manager. The news did not go unnoticed.
If you saw the movie Fame or watched the Television show (it was on before the Internet, back when we had rotary phones), you know the school. It is a liberal performing arts school where the liberal comes first. Before the Thursday opening of a production of the Sound of Music, the principal required all … Read more

Last Thursday Keene City Councilors met and decided they know better. No one is surprised. Outraged, yes. But not surprised. Effective immediately it is illegal to sell any product with nicotine to anyone under the age of 21. That includes vaping products.
With 6,000 pages of evidence from a whistleblower and the testimony of players inside the organization “the vast right-wing conspiracy” has nothing on the IRS and the FBI when it comes to the Clinton Foundation. That evidence was assembled by a private firm called MDA Analytics LLC, run by accomplished ex-federal criminal investigators, who alleged the … Read more
Having flown over 500K air miles in my career, I used to rack up all kinds of frequent flier miles – the vast majority on United. Last 10 years, though, have basically stayed home and flow very little. I did fly a bit on Delta but not enough to get a freebie so over the … Read more
About that “Paris Accord”? Reformatted, emphasis mine:
Nineteen nations “believe” in climate change. How are they backing up their statement of faith? China was praised for signing on to the Paris Climate Agreement and in Argentina reaffirmed its commitment to controlling greenhouse gas emissions. Last year, however, China increased those emissions by 1.7 percent. India, the fourth largest source for CO2, saw their emissions grow by 4.6 percent in 2017. Luckily for them, they too were praised for signing that “nonbinding communiqué.” Overall, the European Union raised their CO2 output by 1.5 percent. France, home of the Paris Agreement, is leading the diplomatic effort to save the planet. They increased their greenhouse gas emissions by 3.6 percent. . . .
If the nations paying lip service to climate change aren’t meeting their goals, imagine how poorly the oil-drilling, coal-mining Americans must be doing.
