Blogline of the Day – This is not, as the Progressives would have you believe, “jingoism”.

Preamble:

Yesterday, President Trump addressed the graduating class at the U.S. Naval Academy. He told the incoming naval officers, “you are winners, you are warriors.” Trump praised the resolve of the U.S. armed forces and America’s achievements, stating:

Our ancestors trounced an empire, tamed a continent and triumphed over the worst evils in history. We are not going to apologize for America. We are going to stand up for America.

This is shameless nationalism. Isn’t it great?

The Line:

Show me a nation or a people that has prevailed over determined adversaries without this sort of pride in its ancestors and its history.

The Question:

UNH Professor Gloats About Disrupting Conservative Speaker

J Ruby Ryan - Dave RubinFrom Campus Reform,

A disruptive heckler who was filmed harassing Dave Rubin during a speech at the University of Hampshire on May 1 turns out to be a Senior Lecturer in Women’s Studies at UNH.

Rubin, a well-known gay, Democrat online talk show host, has recently gained popularity among young conservatives for his willingness to provide a platform to conservative personalities such as Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, and transgender conservative commentator Blaire White. His May 1 UNH speech largely focused on civil discourse, free speech, and tolerance of ideas.

According to Campus Reform, UNH Women’s Studies Professor Dr. Joelle Ruby Ryan has been identified as one of the primary opponents to free speech.

We Stand at One of the Major Turning Points of History…

A notable qote: “We stand at one of the major turning points of history. Two powerful forces for regression threaten to drag us into a dark past. On the one hand, Islamists want to bring back the subjugation of women, female genital mutilation, sex slavery, beheadings, and dhimmitude for non-believers. On the other hand, their … Read more

How Would You Kill The Baby?

Molly Kelly
Molly Kelly hanging with the Clintons

Back on April 16th, Ellen Kolb, writing on her blog, reported that EMILY’s list had decided who it would support for Governor of New Hampshire in the 2018 Election.

Fresh off a victory by its preferred candidate in the Manchester mayoral election, EMILY’s List has announced that it is throwing its endorsement and cash into the New Hampshire governor’s race in support of Molly Kelly.

This reminded me of a question I asked five years ago.

If you support live birth abortion, what is the best way for “doctors” to kill those babies?

Now if only the GOP were smart enough to pound on this all campaign season long

Branco-animals

But that would be giving them the benefit of a very large doubt.  Unlike Trump, they want to be “liked” by their political opponents.  Who, as we all know, hate their guts to the core.  Yet, to steal a phrase from The Resistance, “she they persisted” in not taking ahold of a perfect political meme (seriously, the Democrats ARE defending the MS-13 gang members from South America!) and running with it. Sure, a handful that are that are not going along with the GOPe insistence on using the Marquis of Queensberry boxing rules against the Dems adopting MMA rules (or put another way,

Tales from the BudComm – Starting with “hats off”

BudgetAh yes, the budget season begins in earnest and the table was set early on by the new Chair (effectively installed by the four Progressives that the “school community” voted into office during our “second bad blizzard in a row on town election day”) Sean Murphy with his Agenda Item #1:

  1. Call the meeting to Order & Determination of a Quorum. Please have all electronic devices on vibrate or shut off, also have all hats off during the meeting.

I have to admit, for the first time in all the years he’s been on the board, this is the best dressed I’ve actually seen him – business casual shirt and dress slacks. I also have to admit, as a matter of habit, I always wear my GraniteGrok hat when out of the house (and at the urging of the Grandson who seems to have a thing for hats, sometimes inside as well). At the time I read it, the thought was “well, I’m pretty much the only one that constantly has article of dress on”; I will leave the rest of the thought as an exercise for the reader.  However, I forgot that another Conservative also wears a ball cap – a Navy one as he’s a Navy vet.

So, per usual, in saying the Pledge of Allegiance

Trump Signs Bi-Partisan Dodd-Frank Reform

Trump Signs Dodd-Frank reformDodd-Frank was an epic act of overreach based on opportunity. Democrats like federal regulations. The Housing bubble they created burst and ta-da! The Majority Democrat congress saw an opportunity to give their big-bank backers a lift by screwing over all the other banks. Dodd-Frank was born, pushed through Congress, and signed by Obama.

Big Banks and their lobbyists got the Dems to put the screws to smaller competitors and Democrats called it “watchdogging” the financial industry.

Did the NFL Fumble the New Pledge Policy?

goodellIf you listen to sports talk radio, you’ll know that the NFL’s recent announcement about the National Anthem has more than a few detractors. I’ve heard everything from it’s a free speech issue, to Goodell muffed it, to the owners were not unanimous (some abstained), to the players union knew nothing about it, to why would we care?

Here’s what I think because that is, after all, why you are here.

NH Forest Rangers Want to Check Your Wood

campfirePeople who pay attention to such things are predicting a record Memorial Day Weekend for tourism in New Hampshire. Not that this is anything new. The Granite State has experienced year after year of tourism growth in contradiction to more than a decade of fearmongering by Climate Cultists that global warming would ruin the industry.

So, a note to the undeterred tourists. If you plan to bring your campfire “supplies,” New Hampshire forest rangers want to check out your wood.

So Gov. Sununu appoints an anti-gun high-schooler to be “Guv for a day”?

Chris Sununu

Hey, Second Amendment supporters, tell me what the message is from Chris Sununu to y’all for this (reformatted, emphasis mine)?

Student Who Organized Anti-Gun Walkout Chosen To Be ‘Governor for a Day’

New Hampshire’s Republican governor has chosen a student who organized an anti-gun walkout at her high school in March as the winner of his “Governor for a Day” contest. Molly Robert, a senior at Kennett High School in North Conway, New Hampshire, was one of 100 girls in the state to submit essays for the contest. “Robert helped organize an orderly walkout” at her school and was subsequently interviewed on National Public Radio, according to Conway Daily Sun. The newspaper interviewed her by email. She mentioned a meeting she had with the governor, Chris Sununu, about school safety earlier this year.

Long distance calls to Scott Brown were not mentioned in the piece from the New Boston Post.  But this was in the Conway Daily Sun:

Seattle Proves The Point: To Democrats There’s No Such Thing as Enough Taxation

Patriot Post seattle gun tax failWhile there are plenty of reasons to oppose Democrat rule the one that affects the most people, most often, is the obsession with spending other people’s money. To that point, I have often asked ‘how much is enough‘ so that I can answer that ‘there is no enough.’ Democrats cannot tax you enough. There is no end to the ways in which they can spend your money, or how or how much they will take. Left unchecked that is exactly what they do. And they are no longer even shy about it.

Seattle, a hub of growth and opportunity, is the gender-dysphoric Democrat poster-child for the maxim, “there is no enough.”
