You’ve heard it time and again. Some state or local official promotes a project or a legisaltive initiative because there’s a federal grant available. These sorts of “thinkers” will often implement long-term programs at great expense based on promises of “free money.” The Federal government is paying X percent of costs for Y number of years.
How can we pass that up?
The new world order goes to great lengths to convince people that Biology is irrelevant. That culture and society decide things like gender. So what are we to make of this?
“…according to a study published Tuesday in Radiology, female players are more sensitive to the impact (of ‘heading’ a soccer ball) than males.
The study authors found that female amateur soccer players who frequently head balls showed more white matter brain alterations than their male counterparts.
Judicial Watch has released details obtained from a Right to Know request regarding the approval process for RU-486, the morning after pill or chemical abortion pill and thousands of pages of FDA documents.
Back in 2006 Judicial Watch published a special report based on thousands of pages of FDA and National Archives documents showing the Clinton administration’s aggressive drive to thrust the abortion pill to the market in the United States despite warnings of its hazards. Judicial Watch uncovered that the abortion pill was fast-tracked under the “Accelerated Approval of New Drugs for Serious or Life-threatening Illnesses,” a measure that was adopted for use in rare cases to encourage the manufacture and importation of drugs designed to treat life-threatening diseases such as cancer or heart disease.
People don’t talk about the DNC leak and John Podesta Emails enough. Not in the proper context. Yes, we get that whole smoke-screen Russian hacking narrative but that’s falling apart before our eyes. What is not falling apart because it is real and tangible are the words of Clinton Campaign and Democrat Party operatives and donors busted for a wide range of schemes, scams, and collusion.
This includes emailing Podesta to get Clinton people and White House staffers to pressure Democrat Senators into stopping a piece of legislation that could give Bernie Sander’s several weeks of free earned media and more donations.
The Fiscal Times (FT) is no right-wing rag. They are as incorporated into the globalist world culture (and its narratives) as anyone. So this piece on how China views Mr. Trump and his choices is enlightening.
Donald Trump is leading a double life. In the west, most foreign policy experts see him as reckless, unpredictable and self-defeating. But though many in Asia dislike him as much as the Europeans do, they see him as a more substantial figure. I have just spent a week in Beijing talking to officials and intellectuals, many of whom are awed by his skill as a strategist and tactician.
The elites, the ruling class as Angelo Codevilla called them, lost when the peoples of the several states chose Mr. Trump to be their next President.
Their political machine which includes most of the media has been out to dislodge him ever since. Its more radical elements have ramped up the intimidation and violence.
This has heightened the average American’s awareness of a battle they entered when they stepped away from the failed institution of the expanding super-state to choose someone over which it had little to no power.
A man who ran for office promising to Make America Great Again. A President who believes not just in the sovereignty of the nation-state but that ours provides something you can find no place else on earth.
Robert Mueller’s mandate as special prosecutor is to investigate and prosecute legitimate cases of “collusion” between ‘Russians’ and the Trump Campaign. He has been at it for a few years now and despite the occasional media-friendly announcements of charges or indictments ‘Mueller’ still has nothing.
How do we know this?
This is just plain stupidity, tone deafness, and threatening all at the same time. The NH Firearms Coalition (“NHFC”) has been sending out their survey (of course, isn’t every political / advocacy group?) to candidates running for office. I have no problem with this at all and I’ve been advising Conservative / libertarian candidates not only which ones to fill out and which to ignore but also with answers to questions on some of the surveys because the questions are clear for what they are looking for with those answers. The problem is that sometimes, a possible ally of the group has a more nuanced answer than what is allowed on the on-line surveys that have set answers that clearly don’t reflect someone’s real values – and the candidates I help aren’t going to lie simply to get a recommendation or keep from being slammed for a “wrong” answer.
But the NHFC has really stepped into it with the above image – I took the top of their Letter and combined it with the bottom. It is that “sign off” that is really a kiss off. I’m ticked over it and *I* have a larger voice with GraniteGrok than they do; they need to be called out over it. Seriously, calling out potential allies as anti-gun simply for not returning a survey? This is nutcase territory and Alan Rice should be pelted with eggs, rotten tomatoes, and dead fish over this bone-headed threat.
Here in New Hampshire, the Republican party — the ‘party of small government’ — controls both houses of the legislature and the governor’s office. But government continues to grow. Why? Because in order to actually shrink government, three reforms are necessary, and none of them are in place.
(1) Everything, including existing RSAs and agency regulations, must sunset after a reasonably brief period, like 10 years.
“As you go through life, chances are almost 100 percent that you act like a libertarian. You might ask what it means to “act like a libertarian.” It’s not that complicated. You don’t hit other people when their behavior displeases you. You don’t take their stuff. You don’t lie to them to trick them into letting you take their stuff, or defraud them, or knowingly give them directions that cause them to drive off of a bridge. You’re just not that kind of a person.

…What Valenti and other feminists do not see is that many of the traits they despise in modern men — for example, their expectation that they are “entitled to sexual attention” and their attraction to misogynist websites — are outgrowths of the sexual revolution that feminists themselves promoted. By devaluing marriage and family, feminists helped to create a world in which many men grow up without fathers. About 50 percent of American children will now spend some or all of their childhoods in a single-parent home.
UPDATE: THAT was weird! When I first posted this up, instead of the intended video, it showed Mike’s video of Steve Negron! What the HECK??? It seems fine now but please know Negron is NO fan of Ocasio-No Cortex. Apologies for raising anyone’s blood pressure or morning coffee spewing…

She is the wonderkid from Queens, NYC that beat 10 time incumbent Crowley (rumored to be the next in line after Pelosi’s demise) on a platform burnished by “Democratic Socialism” (which is to say, no difference than plain socialism except cleaned up and dressed nicely – but same despair underneath). Here, Campus Reform does the “man in the street” with some rather simple questions to younger voters that are enamored with her and her foreign political philosophy, proving once again they have no real clue other than they LOVE the idea that somebody is going to give them a free ride.
How are we going to pay for them? Oh, Gawd! When asked about these:
New Hampshire, at 94%, is the third ‘whitest’ state demographically in the country. We’re one percent more diverse, according to the people who define such things, than Maine and the People’s Republic of Vermont. The Granite State’s ‘experts’ are gathering to confer on how to fix that. Why?
OK, from my previous post, you know a bit about her political philosophy/campaign stances from this 28-year-old barista with a Boston University double major in International Relations and Economics that is now the Democrat candidate for Congress in NY-14 (Queens)
Sidenote: oh dear, how low has my alma mater dropped in rigor. They ought to be disavowing her forthwith but I guess the Howard Zinn-sim, Noam Chomskyesque, and the other hard core radical professors have gotten worse over the years. As I continue with her here, I am gratified by my decisions over the years not to give my hard earned monies to this spawning den of everything I find wrong.
Anyways, I digress – let me unpack my pile of stuff here. Just remember that no less a luminary than Tom Perez, Chair of the National Democrat Committee, says “she is the future of the Party”. Go ahead, keep shoveling that out there!
Yeah, I think I have that down pat. All over the nation in the bigger cities I read of “needle exchange programs” for people using illicit drugs who then drop them all over the place, including where young children play in parks and playground and schoolyards. There’s even talk of setting up “shoot up rooms” so that illegal drug users can shoot up “in safety” – all the Progressives are perfectly fine with this. You know, “helping” those that are doing criminal acts so as to do more of it. Hey, “No Stigma!” is all the rage. It’s like taxes in reverse – tax that what you want less of while removing yet another brick in the Wall That Is Society; it’s just flashing yet another green light for yet more bad behavior. Add in condemnation for us that rightfully call out these accessories to illegal behavior for being wrong and you certainly get more of it.
But use a plastic bendy straw with which to suck on a cool libation…oooh, that’s BAD! You Polluter you, you hate the Earth, you hate turtles who get stuck with straws up their noses
Sidenote: my extremely dry humor Eldest quiped – “well, it shouldn’t have been doing a line of coke in the ocean, should it?” to which my rejoinder was “how’d it stay dry?” But I’m off topic.
Whenever anything bad happens that involves a gun, we can safely predict that two other things are going to happen shortly thereafter. The first is that some kind of gun control laws will be proposed. The second is that these proposals will be met with claims that ‘gun control laws don’t work’.
But the thing is, they DO work.
“I’m so angry that he put us in this situation. I’m in no mood to help him right now.”
This still applies when Republican elected officials do things contrary to what their conservative bases believe in, especially if they were the edge that put their butts into said electoral seats in the first place. Yet, in effect, they make the political calculus that in the long run, it won’t hurt them and rely on that hackneyed phrase to get them through:
Where else are they going to go?
And then smirk. Problem is, it doesn’t seem to be working for Florida Governor Rick Scott as he’s now vying to become a US Senator (reformatted, emphasis mine):
Scott’s approval rating topples after signing gun control bills
Gov. [Rick] Scott saw a sharp drop in approval in the second quarter of 2018, the latest Morning Consult poll shows, a plummet that political analysts are attributing to his decision earlier this year to tighten the state’s gun laws. …
Steve actually broke the news here but narrative and numbers are great, I just prefer charts. For me, they give more context and a data element without context is useless. You want to see trends:
What would happen if an illegal immigrant used a plastic straw in California? How far does their idea of a Sanctuary State go – an ultimate good (who can never see a Federal jail) versus an ultimate (and jailable offense)? (H/T: Instapundit)
I went on a New Media excursion out to the Keene State Pavilion at Wilson Pond for the Cheshire County GOP Reagan-Coolidge BBQ. My two favorite presidents. How could I turn it down?
I met some folks, ate a burger, chatted up the locals, and listened to some stump speeches by Republicans running for Congress.
After that, they voted.
