Tijuana officials said late Monday they had arrested 34 caravan members for drug possession, public intoxication, disturbing the peace and resisting police, and they would be deported to their home countries. Jazz Shaw adds that Tijuana’s reliance … Read more

Where A Privileged Dartmouth Student Hates On Thanksgiving

November 22, 2018November 21, 2018 Steve MacDonald

I stumbled across the Social Justice rantings of some privileged (staff writer) for The Dartmouth. The opinion piece is a screed against Thanksgiving. You can’t even get past the first paragraph without realizing what a miserable ass they are. By now the world knows, or at least many of us do, that Thanksgiving is a holiday … Read more

Eight in Los Angeles Charged With Election Fraud

November 21, 2018 Steve MacDonald

Another Democrat fairy tale – remember this sort of fraud thing doesn’t happen in the real world – comes to life in Los Angeles where eight people have been charged with election fraud. Using cash and cigarettes as lures, the defendants approached homeless people on skid row and asked them to forge signatures on state … Read more

Donald Trump Is Winning the Trade War With China

November 21, 2018 Steve MacDonald

Donald Trump is winning the trade war with China. That’s what they are saying. Who? Who is saying that? What crazy “right-wing mouthpiece” is peddling that blather? Munich-based EocnPol Europe, that’s who. In a paper titled ‘Who is Paying for the Trade War with China,’ they report that it’s not Americans. It is Chinese Exporters who are … Read more

Why Donald Trump is an Existential Threat…

November 21, 2018November 21, 2018 Steve MacDonald

The government is an institution like any other. As such, it relies on certain understandings. There is a natural order. A chain of command. Matters of deference. It has rules, a culture, and these things sustain its “survival.” An existence separate from the Constitution that created it and defines it. Those of us outside that institution … Read more

A non-Third Wave Feminist describes the kind of Masculinity that women want

November 20, 2018 Skip

“Toxic Masculinity” is all the rage on campuses around the country and certainly is a large talking point by a lot of “Social Justice Warriors” (SJWs) that all that ails us is to turn all men into feminist versions of Beta males. In other words, make women out of men and then life would be glorious, equality would be achieved, and all crime would start. We just have to put men into their right place in Society – which is to say, nowhere.

Meanwhile, Suzanne Venker (self-described feminist “The Feminist Fixer”) decided that the SJW Feminist view of masculinity (that masculinity is evil) is completely wrong and ill-advised – and is destroying Society. Here’s her quick take on “positive masculinity” which is to say, how men should be acting. Period.

At the end of the day, men want a woman and women want a man. Here’s what masculinity that attracts women like a moth to a flame looks like:

A man who stands tall and proud and who never asks permission.

A man who knows who he is and who isn’t afraid to share it with the world.

Notable Quote – Jordon Peterson

November 20, 2018November 20, 2018 Skip

“The dominant narrative in our culture is predicated on the assumption that the West is a tyrannical patriarchy. It has become acceptable in our time to put forward a version of history, the present and the future that is based on a deep hatred for men. This is a very enervating, demotivating, discouraging story, as … Read more

Quoting / commenting on Sara Kaufman “Interestingly, Spock’s view of the primacy of likability flips the long-standing Anglo-American notion, prevalent among the Puritans and up through the nineteenth and early decades of the twentieth centuries, that one builds character through service to others, whether God or your fellow man. In this older view, the less … Read more

RCSB: Symptoms Of Global Warming And Global Cooling Are Identical

November 20, 2018 Steve MacDonald

It’s snowing which means global warming. Not that long ago it meant global cooling. And while it’s all just really ‘”The Weather” it’s not. It’s all about politics now. Tom Steyer spent a small fortune on a pre-election ground game in New Hampshire through his NextGen Climate PAC. They turned out a record number of college … Read more

BlogQuestion of the Day: “2020 starts now, Skip”

November 20, 2018 Skip

We helped Democrats rack up historic victories in 2018 — taking back the House, flipping key state legislative chambers, and picking up governors’ mansions and Senate seats. The reason we won all of these races is that grassroots donors invested in these races early, and helped build a foundation for victory.

That’s the title and part of the message of yet another email missive I got from the Democrat National Committee (as an Independent, they’ve glommed onto my email address, along with almost every other Democrat group and candidate – DELUGED with email these past few months. Jus’ askin’. Look, I’m only 1 guy in a very small State with only 1 vote. So why are the Democrats so hungry and already reaching out? And it isn’t just from the DNC, either! Yet:

So why haven’t the Republican apparatuses done the same? With the same frequency and intensity?

Dan Crenshaw May Be the New Republican “YouTube” Star

November 19, 2018 Steve MacDonald

During Chris Christie’s first term as governor his recorded conversations with voters, union reps, any manner of constituent became known as Chris Christie porn. The way he questioned the union and establishment status quo in New Jersey Town Hall meetings was thrilling to watch. And he’s an establishment Republican sort of guy. Since then Trey Gowdy … Read more

Are New Hampshire Democrats Backing Away From Promised Tax Hikes?

November 19, 2018 Steve MacDonald

All year long New Hampshire Democrats have been whining about how cutting New Hampshire’s business taxes was a hand out to the rich. Corporate bailouts. The standard socialist-Democrat class warfare rhetoric. Back in the real world, these tax cuts have produced record job growth, wage growth, and record labor force participation. Regular folk are working and earning … Read more

November 19, 2018 Steve MacDonald

The now infamous Brenda Snipes, the Elections supervisor for Broward County Florida, has resigned. Don’t worry, it has nothing to do with how she conducts elections or recounts.

It sounds like NH’s “Social Studies” is about to get “SJW watered down” again

November 19, 2018November 19, 2018 Skip

Used to be called History and separately, civics. How did we get here from back then and how is American government supposed to be organized and run? Basic issues and basic knowledgebases for any American citizen. Sadly, our government schools seem to be a poor job of both – after all, ask a young adult the same question we require of LEGAL immigrants wishing to become naturalized Citizens and be prepared for a very dismal experience. So when I saw this (emphasis mine, reformatted):

NH in process of revamping social studies curriculum

EXETER — The state of New Hampshire’s educational standards for social studies has not been updated since 2006 but with a review from the Department of Education underway, local school administrators and community leaders are beginning to line up to help shape its process.

I went “It’s really gonna get addressed! Yay!”. Then I went back and reread that “community leaders” bit again. Sorry I did that….sigh….

NH Secretary of State – Dems are proving that if you cross them, they will destroy you.

November 18, 2018 Skip

“It’s not the people who vote that count, it’s the people who count the votes.”

-Joseph Stalin (apocryphally)

December fifth is another election here in NH but to one in which none of us “regular” people get to cast a vote: the important Secretary of State. Important office – it is responsible for not only the business side of the State (company formations, reporting forms, and the like) as well as the election side (thus, the quote above). In addition, it has been Bill Gardner that has ensured that the NH First In The Nation Primary has stayed exactly that. However, it is that middle part, about elections, that is of most concern here at this time. However, this is an election that is the sole prerogative of our State Legislators – both the NH House Representatives and the NH State Senators. They, and they alone, vote on the candidates. This year, for the first time in a long time, there is a rival to Bill Gardner – a craven, self-serving Democrat Colin Van Ostern who decided that this was prime time to go full Political Opportunist and had $250K to spend campaigning for the office.

No one, except Van Ostern, has faulted Bill Gardner on anything that he has done on the job (in fact, even Ray Buckley, NH Dem Chair, has praised him in the past on his FITN ceaseless work UNTIL he transgressed two Major Pillars of the NH Democrat Party:

Rethinking Fairness in Education

March 26, 2022November 18, 2018 Ian Underwood

Below is a picture of the current educational system. We put kids in school for about 1000 hours per year, for 12 years, and see what happens. At the end of that time, some may be taking college-level courses. Others may still be unable to read.
