The US Department of Agriculture got busted using government property to “inspect” “meat” during work hours. And by ‘meat’ I mean porn.

Another federal agency is embroiled in a large-scale pornography scandal and in this case, it took leadership five months to block hundreds of websites used by employees and contractors to watch porn on government computers during work hours. It involves the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), a bloated agency notorious for wasteful spending and an eye-popping $140 billion budget.

Bernie Sanders got a $14,500 slap on the wrist from the FEC for knowingly accepting Australian Labor Party workers for his primary campaign here in New Hampshire.

The Sanders campaign admitted, and facts show, his campaign knew they were getting a “thing of value” from the ALP because – they picked them up at the airport. The Australians didn’t hitch-hike here.

Hollywood’s Oscars Night Tanks as NRA Membership Skyrockets

The audience for ABC’s Sunday annual telecast of the Oscars declined for a fourth consecutive year, according to Nielsen data, dropping to an all-time low of 26.5 million viewers. The dip of nearly 20% from last year put it under the previous low of 32 million in 2008.

Not unexpected – when those that believe in the Democrat Progressive thesis that the American melting pot has swirled down the toilet bowl and MUST be replaced by their Identity Group Politics, why would they be surprised when their opposition takes up the same in their own defense? Did they believe that there would be no reaction – or did they expect only sheeple that would lay down and yelp “thank you, sirs, may I have another (classic Animal House reference)”?

In Rejecting U.S. Immigration Law, California Has A Role Model: The Confederacy

The machinations of the Windham School Board concerning their Transgender Policy JBAB, for whatever reason, still bugs the heck out me. I really think that a lot of it is summed up in this part of the policy which does two dastardly actions:

• Demands, by the Government board, coerced speech on the part of students and staff, in support of a Progressive policy that many reject
• Provides for punishment if said folks decide to not follow said mandatory coerced speech

To wit (emphasis mine):

C. Names/Pronouns

A student has the right to be addressed by a name or pronoun that corresponds to the student’s gender identity.  A Court-order name or gender change is not required and the student need not change his or her official records.  The intentional or persistent refusal to respect a student’s gender identity (for example, intentionally referring to the student by a name or pronoun that does not correspond to the student’s gender identity) is a violation of this policy.

“Live Free or Die“, the concept of Individual Liberty and Freedom, does not exist with Rob Breton, Dennis Senibaldi, Keleigh McAllister, and Daniel Popovici-Muller  (Tom Murray, the only Conservative on the Windham School Board, voted against it seeing it for what it is – entrenching a Progressive morality and displacing Traditional Norms).

So, I just issued a second RSA 91-A Right To Know demand; I am pretty sure that it won’t be too well received:

Leftist groups had the media and pollsters showing a huge Democrat, and whoever else they let vote, turnout in Texas. The hype, as usual, was that Texas is finally going to turn left and vote for socialism.

But that isn’t what happened. The Democrats spent like crazy, hyped like crazy, acted crazy, and still they got whupped!

The Netflix reboot of Lost in Space premiers April 13th. This is the first trailer for the show and,

It’s darker, grittier, and more grounded. Still, the showrunner insists it’s still family fare. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Zack Estrin called it “a true family adventure in the vein of the original Jurassic Park” and said it’s designed to appeal to both nostalgic fans of the original series and newcomers who might want something a little less campy in their science fiction.

So, the kids in high schools (and lower) all want to have a breath of fresh air on Wednesday the 14th to commemorate the 17 lives that were lost in South Florida and to protest that they aren’t safe because a former (expelled) student shot up his classmates.  Are they protesting him?  Nope.  Are they protesting the Broward County Sheriff whose deputies went to his house over 40 times because of alleged problems? Nope.  Are they protesting the policy in which the Obama Administration paid off the county, the locals, and the school district to lower the stats of kids being arrested which allowed this sociopath to skip free? Nope. Are they protesting the cowardly deputies that stayed outside while he was killing his fellow students?  Nope. Are they protesting all of this government failure that would have put him on the prohibited NICS list so that he couldn’t buy a gun in the first place?

Nope.

On February 24th we reported on a Purdue University online writing and grammar resource that tells students to avoid using words with ‘man’ in them because such terms are sexist.  Well, someone didn’t like the Perdue Speech guide because they quietly changed it.

While the guide still suggests finding alternatives to these words, some substantial changes have been made … Instead of declaring that “writing in a non-sexist, non-biased way is both ethically sound and effective,” for instance, the guide now simply states that “writing without gender bias is sound and effective,” changing the section title to “gender-biased language” rather than “non-sexist language.

So Purdue managed to make”non-sexist” sound sexist. Nice work.

The original post is here – the relevant background (reformatted):

That would be city planner Peter Britz. Nice to not scare people – and in the same article, decides to do exactly that: City planning staff has estimated that Portsmouth will see sea water rise 2 feet by 2050 and 6 feet by 2100, Britz said.

Right – that would be 0.75? per year for the next 32 years.  Scary numbers, eh?  Being that I can’t help myself, I decided to bring up a couple numbers of my own:

Methinks Peter Britz needs to go back to 3rd grade for a remedial class in simple arithmetic.  NOAA is reporting that the Atlantic Coast off NH is rising at a whole 0-3mm / year. Let’s take the worst case of 3mm / year. Over 32 years (2050, where he says that the rise will be TWO FEET!), that translates to…..drum roll please…….3 inches. 3mm = 0.11811?.

By 2100, that would be almost 10 inches. Yep, I guess that close enough 6 feet (72?), by golly! Start screaming “WE’RE DOOMED!”

And then I issued a RSA 91-A (Right To Know or RTK) request to them (the relevant parts):

I’m following up on the Op-Ed by Cornerstone post with the actual votes by Republicans.  Here are the Republicans that voted for “prohibiting discrimination based on gender identity” and have, with their vote, helped to solidify and codify the Progressive Identity Politics group – another nail in the coffin of E Pluribus Unum or, if you prefer, a melting pot.  This is not about discrimination this was about putting another notch on the Democrat handle – “look what we made the Republicans do FOR us” (like raising the gas tax of a few years ago).

Again, I’m following up on the Op-Ed by Cornerstone post with the actual votes by Republicans.  Here are the Republicans that voted against HB1532 ( “prohibiting gender reassignment surgery for minors.” – This means that House members want taxpayers to be forced to participate in irreversible and unnecessary surgery and chemical treatments for minors).  Yet, the House voted to up the marriage age; young hetersexual marriage (before 16) bad but young (and younger) genital mutilation (because that’s what happens during reassignment and chemical treatments) is perfectly fine.

Do they ever think cohesively? As in one thing is chained to others?

So now the Republican are assisting the Democrats in shoving NH closer and closer to a broad-based tax?  Jeb Bradley and Chuck Morse have all but said it by trying to show what was their MAHvelous Obamacare Medicaid Expansion plan into “managed care” plans (anyone else have a bad experience with HMOs in the past?  Bueller? Bueller?) in trying to contain costs they incurred by shoving 50,000 additional able-bodied workers (many, many already covered by private insurance) onto the Public Dole.  And now the R’s have decided that Federal / NH taxpayers are going to give up even more for what should be elective surgery (or at the least, their costs instead of our costs).

Today, the New Hampshire House of Representatives voted to pass House Bill 1319 (HB 1319), AN ACT prohibiting discrimination based on gender identity. The legislation was pushed based on the absolute lie that trans people don’t have the same protections against discrimination as everyone else in the state.

The out-of-state organization who pushed this legislation, and spent a lot of money doing so, lost their bid to push the law last session but some Republicans decided to resurrect the bill for some perceived political gain. Again, the bill is based on the lie that everyone doesn’t have the same protections against discrimination in New Hampshire.

What this law will really do is regress Women’s Rights back decades. For years, women fought for sex-based legal protections. There are a number of spaces and organizations that have benefitted women with these legal protections like bathrooms, locker rooms, domestic abuse shelters, rape centers and of course women-only organizations.

The Omnibus is more of the same (bonus spending edition) after an election where we hoped for better but as I noted here, let Trump play his hand out on the budget and just let that bitch go.

We have bigger problems that need our attention.

Problems that if ignored will put an abrupt end to any notion that we’ll get deregulation, responsible national security policy, border control, more tax relief, another good judge on the Supreme Court, or anything remotely like Conservative or Republican priorities.

None of it. So, pay attention and focus.

Stephen M. Sierpina, the Principal of Windham High School, sent out a letter outlining the school’s plans for Wednesday, March 14th. That’s supposed to be a nation-wide school walkout day to inspire Congress to pass stricter gun laws.

Dumb.

Anyone with two non-ideological brain-cells to rub together knows that criminals don’t follow laws and this walk-out is just another in a long series of stunts to disarm law-abiding Americans.
