And the Democrat Minority Leader, Chuck Schumer (D/Progressive – NY) has just caved into to the person that the Democrats believe is the stupidest person in the world: President Donald Trump.  How does that even work that the stupid guy won – and won easily yet again?

I doubted it was possible, but Dems have actually lost a shutdown fight. Schumer has agreed to end the filibuster in exchange for practically nothing. Make no mistake: Schumer & Dems caved. What a political fiasco.

Methinks is that he doesn’t back down, he doesn’t give in, doesn’t give up and, like the NE Patriots yesterday, finds a way to win. Very unRepublican of him, isn’t it, to simply stiffen his spine and tell the Democrats to go pound sand and then mean what he says?

He simply stood his ground.

The last few months have not been kind to the feminists that have insisted that there are no differences between guys and gals because gender is merely a “social construct”.  I guess that math hasn’t gotten the message – or is it that feminists are too blinkered to admit that math really doesn’t care what you are (emphass mine, reformatted):

 Oxford University extends time for maths and computer science exams in bid to help women get better grades.

Oxford University has extended time for maths and computer science exams in a bid to help women get better grades. Undergraduates were given 105 minutes to complete their papers, rather 90. There was no change in difficulty or the length of questions and female students were said to do better as a result. Dons trialed the changes to allow women to achieve higher results, with just seven female maths finalists achieving firsts last year compared with 45 men. The proposals were put forward to reduce the ‘undue effects of time pressure’ which the prestigious university believe affects women more than men, reports the Sunday Times.

The message from Oxford is clear:

Democrats abhor New Hampshire’s low-spending, low-taxes culture. They’d like nothing more than to replace the Granite State of Mind with a California State of Mind. One that Skip noted yesterday includes a plot to pilfer half the savings California businesses would otherwise realize from the FederalReformeform.  Well, they’re not done yet (nor will they ever because for liberals there is no such thing as enough).

Any business in California that cooperates with federal immigration officials will face prosecution, according to state Attorney General Xavier Becerra.

Make sure to add that to your list of First Year accomplishments Mr. Trump. You helped California discover the tenth amendment.

I am on most of the Republican email lists that matter here in NH.  Ditto the Democrat ones – like the US Ambassador to NH Jeanne Shaheen (who demonstrates on a regular basis that what happens in DC should override what we New Hampshireits decide for ourselves).  Now, we all know that almost all, Right and Left, politicians are going to “embellish” from time to time; we all know how and when to discount what they say or write.  However, Shaheen decided to use a blatant lie in order to score political points.  Here’s what she sent on the 19th (reformatted, emphasis mine):

Friends: Right now, Donald Trump and congressional Republicans are just hours away from shutting down our entire government. Why? Because they’re more interested in playing politics than in doing what’s right.

Republicans refuse to protect the nearly 700,000 Dreamers who came to this country as children, provide adequate resources to end the opioid crisis or reauthorize the Children’s Health Insurance Program. It’s absolutely unacceptable. No matter what, I’m going to keep fighting until midnight strikes. But with only hours to go, I want to know where you stand:

Now, I realize that there are two lies going on here (or at best, 1 is a severe misdirection).

So far, their kvetching on Trump’s Tax Reform has turned into a puddle of dried up tears.  And their attempts to dismiss The Wall as being misguided, too expensive, and would never work: they’ll tunnel under it and if it is taller than what we have now, they’ll just use bigger ladders.  Hahahahaha!

Build The Wall: U.S Special Forces Tried To Breach Trump’s Border Wall–They Couldn’t Do It

For those who mock the border wall and think it’s a waste of money, it stopped U.S. Special Forces teams that were testing the prototypes. The towering height made it almost impossible for assault teams to scale the fortification that President Trump wants along our southern border with Mexico. It’s projected to cost $18 billion over the next decade; one prototype for the wall is a staggering 30 feet tall. The minimum height that Customs and Border Protection want for the wall is 18 feet, though up to 30 is not off limits. It also has to be six feet deep. The testing concerning scaling was a three-week endeavor (via CBS Local DFW) [emphasis mine]:

On Friday, a disturbing post was made on social media by an actual school board member in the Timberlane Regional School district. Peter Bealo, who is listed as “Board Chair” for Timberlane/Plaistow, posted a photo of the horrific story about abuse in California, then tried to attribute that behavior to all homeschoolers.

The post has since been removed but not after many parents saw it and expressed their shock and anger over such a horrifying statement:

ONE YEAR AGO TODAY, Hillary Clinton did not become President.

(H/T: Instapundit)

And if you dismiss Trump’s tweets and pronouncements as the Shiny Objects that they are intended to be for the Dems, media, and anti-Trumpers, he’s actually piling up a very good conservative “done” list; just dub him the Anti-Obama.  And this is hillarious (see what I did there?; emphasis mine, reformatted):

How times have changed, how times have changed.  Remember come November, New Hampshirites, that our entire Democrat Congressional coven voted illegal immigrants over American Citizens.  You see, they just showed us that they were willing to take away healthcare for over 9 million poor kids simply to keep illegals into the country.  They showed us that we 1.3 million residents don’t matter, that the Rule of Law doesn’t matter – they are willing to throw the equivalent of a 2 year old’s temper tantrum in refusing to long term fund the SCHIP program – something THEY demanded in this CR (Continuing Resolution to keep the Fed Govt open) and the Republicans gave them.

Today, left-wing organizations rallied together to hold another “Women’s March” in Concord. This year’s rally was vastly smaller than last year’s rally but the sentiments were the same. It seems the people in attendance simply hate President Trump and are protesting his mere existence, all while pushing their own political agenda of course.

The organizers call the rally “inclusive” but what they really mean is that only those who agree with their extreme left-wing ideology are welcomed:

We would love for you to join us for an full day event at the Concord State house in an inclusive rally and day of action and unity! All are invited to join as a show of solidarity with the Women’s March on Washington and in support of our rights, our safety, our health, our families, and our environment. This is an inclusive day of action and unity.

What’s truly ironic is women have more rights since Trump became president – women are no longer forced to purchase health insurance they cannot afford. Trump killed the Obamacare mandate in the tax cut bill, which also allows women to keep more of the money they earn in their own pockets rather than in the hands of the government.

(H/T: Powerline – just a whole lotta good memes from them today!)

Yep, it is.  In fact, Nick (you who hold that Google has NO bias at all so SHUT UP), now even Google is saying “er, my bad” (reformatted, emphasis mine):

Google says it is discontinuing its fact-check feature because it proved to be too faulty for public use, directly attributing the decision to an investigation by The Daily Caller News Foundation. The company has no date set for when it will return, if ever.

“We launched the reviewed claims feature at the end of last year as an experiment with the aim of helping people quickly learn more about news publications,” a spokeswoman for Google said, while also adding that The Daily Caller News Foundation was the catalyst for the recent move. “We said previously that we encountered challenges in our systems that maps fact checks to publishers, and on further examination it’s clear that we are unable to deliver the quality we’d like for users.”
