Blogline of the Day – EVERY life matters

On a post about Planned Parenthood New England’s 1 “100% Support for Womens Health” Honor Roll’ Actual Women’s healthcare is when everyone leaves the office alive ….. Funny how PPNE would never put it that way. (H/T: as seen on Facebook)

Keene State College Enrollment Decline Repackaged as ‘Right-Sizing’

Keene State College continues to have enrollment issues. But on a positive note, they’ve made that problem (sort of, kind of) go away by renaming it. The perennial decrease has been relabeled. The ten percent of staff the college had to buy out to avoid firing them outright can rest easy knowing they were ‘Right-sized’ out of their jobs.

Blogline of the Day: C’est vrai!

“Democrats do not have foreign enemies; they have domestic enemies.” What about Russia, you ask – don’t the Dems view them as “foreign enemies”? No – only a useful idiot foil to use against their real enemies – domestically, that would be Trump and his supporters. (H/T: Instapundit)

Democrat State Senators: Granite State Opportunity Plan – A State Budget That Works for Everyone

Yeah…..nope.  Impossible and can’t be done for a few commonsense reasons I’ll list in a few minutes.

Unlike the Republicans (and I’ll talk about THAT in a few minutes, too), the Democrats have their plan and their bills all ready on the NH Legislative taxiway ready to take flight.  Take a look at the list of the LSRs (Legislative Service Requests – ideas for bill to be put into “legislative-ese”. Note: your’s truly has asked my new House reps to sponsor one for me) – all kinds of spending, taxing….and behavior modification (yeah, you don’t behave according to them).  The NH State Senators already have their overall plan, Granite State Opportunity Plan, in place (thanks to the helpless NH GOP, they now run the show) and plan on pursuing it hot and heavy.

It will be a disaster if they do and let me start picking it apart with the first part of it (other Groksters will be pulling other strings): A State Budget That Works for Everyone. A Pure Public Relations play – such a thing is impossible and they either know it and are lying about it or they really believe their crap don’t stick and don’t know that it does.  Let us proceed with the fisking, shall we?

Sad that Santa has to say that

C’mon folks – we can do better!  Let’s give back (hate that phrase, “give back”, by the way) to Santa his dream of a Govt that protects our Rights and our private property!  We can do this – let’s make it happen in 2020 (Lord knows, the Democrats aren’t gonna do it). (H/T: Powerline)

Thanksgiving is over – now you may begin!

For decades, I have never allowed TMEW to start in on Christmas until AFTER Thanksgiving Day is over.  I’ve been known to walk into a store to get something on my “current shopping list” only to walk right out when I saw Christmas sales – in October.  Not gonna do it. Now you may proceed; … Read more

Chris Sununu is Destroying the Republican Party

This from Governor Sununu’s “Policy Director”: “Voluntary,” “financially solvent” – sounds just like private insurance, which begs the question:  If it is possible to have a “Paid Family Leave plan” that is “voluntary” and “financially solvent,” then why isn’t such a product already available to employees through private insurers? Because “Paid Family Leave” covers situations … Read more

What Would Happen Under Martial Law In The United States?

By Sam Bocetta

Martial law is a subject that many people have heard about but far fewer actually understand. Truth be told, most people don’t understand just how serious of a situation martial law is or what it would entail should it ever be declared on a city-wide, state-wide, or national scale. In this article, we’ll dive into what martial law is, when and why it would be declared by the government, and what would happen if it were ever to be declared.

What Is Martial Law?

To put it simply, martial law is defined as the suspension of ordinary law and the imposition of direct government (and almost always military) control over the population. In other words, the government will act as the courts and the police all at once, and they will use the military and law enforcement to enforce whatever they should decree. If when you think of the term ‘martial law’ you also think of tanks rolling through your streets and National Guard or military units swarming in and setting up checkpoints left and right, that’s honestly not too far off from what martial law would look like.

When/Why Would Martial Law Be Declared?

MI6 Pleads with Trump: Don’t Declassify “Collusion” Docs

British Intelligence was in on the plot to spy on Trump (and cover it up with the Collusion narrative). That’s been clear for some time. The one thing that might disprove that is declassification of the documents relating to the FISA warrants. The interviews that lead to the spying. But MI6 doesn’t want them declassified.

Arctic Sea Ice, and Google’s Search Results “Reality”

The Danish Meteorological Institute’s most recent data shows Arctic Sea Ice Extent rapidly approaching the 1981-2000 mean. Rapidly. But if you Google “Arctic Sea ice 2018” you will find a series of headlines on the subject of the 2018 arctic minimum. I didn’t search the annual arctic minimum. In the absence of other details “minimum” was … Read more

Be thankful for Capitalism’s Abundance and the Charity it allows

Kevin Williams has a very thoughtful piece on Capitalism for yesterday’s Day of Thanksgiving.  While not directly thanking God (which the Pilgrims did on that day back in 1623), he confronts the wave of Socialism that reared it’s ugly head on November 6 and does a nice job of defending it when most cannot stand against the “kindness” onslaught of those believing that Government directed economies (Socialism, Communism) and behaviors are VERY MUCH superior to customer / individual self-directed choices (Capitalism). In part (reformatted, emphasis mine):

There is a part of the Christian tradition that relates charitable giving to the Seventh Commandment, which is the prohibition on theft. The idea is that the world and all that it contains are God’s gift to corporate mankind — “the universal destination of goods,” in theological jargon — so that the man with two coats holds one of them unjustly when his neighbor shivers in the cold with no coat at all. Private property, in this understanding, is instrumental in promoting the common good, but it does not supersede the primordial gift.

There is great grace and goodness and wisdom in that. But it simply assumes the existence of coats and coat factories, the vast and incomprehensibly complex apparatus of coat-production that incorporates materials, effort, and intelligence from people all over the world, coordinating the efforts of men and women who do not speak the same languages, share the same religion, reside in the same countries, or even know of one another’s existence — from goose farmers to computer programmers to chemical engineers.

The American Farm Bureau Federation’s 33rd annual survey of classic items found on the Thanksgiving Day dinner table indicates the average cost of this year’s feast for 10 is $48.90, or less than $5.00 per person.

Update: “once untrustworthy, always restricted” – the Communist Chinese policy that Prez wannabe Democrat Andrew Yang wants implement in the US

Actually, that’s not the name of my post but that quote above is a better description,”once untrustworthy, always restricted”, of the “Social Trust” system that China is building.  I’ve got a few links for you to read, with pull quotes, to give you the jist of the system that Andrew Yang want to do here in the US.  No limited government he – as I said in my previous post, Yang wants a US surveillance system that would make the feared East German secret police, who had binders on EVERYONE, look like slackers.  It’s bad enough to have thousands of CCTV cameras on city streets and RFID transceivers all along our highways.  It’s bad enough to have the FAANGS  (e.g., Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google) pouring over and hoovering up our personal data (and having just signed up for Social Security, I now have a glimpse of the “teeniest, tiny-est tip of the iceburg” information the Feds gather to “verify that you are you”).

Naw, Andrew Yang wants the US to establish its own “trustworthy score” for everyone in the US – yet the nine black robed judges said that we (well, at least pregnant women) have the privacy to kill our babies? And other “intimate” acts?  How does one adjudicate the two – and worse, who decides algorithmically what is “moral” and what isn’t and then place scores on us all?

Here are the links – read them (reformatted, emphasis mine):
