Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) Is A Small, Wormlike Bigot Terrified Of An Honest Debate On Guns He is one that would love to take away our guns as he is almost always the first to wave the bloody shirts of the victims (without first checking if they are dead yet). He is one of those … Read more
Again, chivalry and the manly trait to be a Protector trumps the phony SJW mantra of “toxic masculinity”:
“In a world where everyone is kneeling, I saw hundreds of people standing up and running towards the danger,” he said.
“These first responders, the second that you heard — I did not know what to do in this scenario, and there were individuals who trained very well, running towards automatic gunfire with nothing but a pistol on their sidearm.”
The knee-jerk liberals who do their best to divide this country, in an endless, decades-long effort to create as many victim classes as possible, have latched onto gun control as a cure for the mass shooting in Vegas.
No surprise there.
No surprise the shooting range known as Chicago doesn’t bother liberals.
What if this Vegas loser was motivated by gambling debts?
Should we eliminate gambling?
If football players are so oppressed by police they need to disrespect our country, should we eliminate football?
When you take that much money from the government, the institutional inefficiency must begin to wear off on you. Tesla announced it fell far short of its plan to build 1,500 of its first mass-market car, the Model 3, in the third quarter. The actual number it built? 260, or 83% less than promised.

SHOT: CBS Legal Exec: No Sympathy For Vegas ‘Because Country Music Fans Often Are Republican.’
A top legal executive at CBS, Hayley Geftman-Gold, said she “is not even sympathetic” for the victims of the shooting at a country music festival at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas Sunday night.
“If they wouldn’t do anything when children were murdered I have no hope that Repugs will ever do the right thing,” wrote Geftman-Gold on Facebook, perhaps referring to Sandy Hook. “I’m actually not even sympathetic bc country music fans often are Republican gun toters.”
CHASER: CBS fires vice president who said Vegas victims didn’t deserve sympathy because country music fans ‘often are Republican’
Art Woolf, an Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Vermont, has an interesting piece in the Burlington Free Press. Interesting, because it hints at a problem in a context most progressives typically ignore.
First, as part of this research professor Woolf reports that as a percentage of total income earned New Hampshire is still one of the lowest taxed states in the Nation. The national average is 10.59 percent, and New Hampshire’s rate is only 8.86 percent. (Vermont’s is over 12%.)
New Hampshire’s rank is important because the article asks questions about spending priorities, values, efficient delivery of services, and just how much you can expect to take and for what.
Colin Kaepernick donated $25,000 to group named after convicted cop killer and former Black Liberation Army member Assata Shakur who broke out of jail and fled to Cuba. So Colin so hates the police that he affirms the killer of an innocent policeman? Is this the “unity” that the NFL and its owners, coaches, and … Read more
ALL Rights matter (H/T: Powerline)
As many of you know, I have been working for Stihl Timbersports for 25 years. I am on the production crew. Recently, Duluth Trading Post, one of our sponsors, wrote me up a bit in a blog ad for their Firehose Pants.
Take Ed Naile, for instance. Renowned as The Straightest Man with a Chainsaw, his job is to flush cut the competition logs between heats. STIHL measured a set of 100 cuts of his — nearly all were perfectly level, and the worst was off by just half a degree. And Ed eyeballs it every cut.
We filmed this Series Final in Milwaukie, Wisconsin at a German heritage festival. It was great. All 12,000 seats were full and then some.
In part, on the false “multiplier” effect that Govt programs supposedly have:
In any auction, the winning bidder may pay more for something than it is worth. That is especially the case in this kind of auction — in which government entities compete with one another in offering tax breaks to a rent-seeking corporation (i.e., one looking for public assistance for private gain) that is trying to get as much as it possibly can from government.
The fatal flaw here is the deeply ingrained habit of regional economic development agencies and other government entities of assuming (falsely) that a public investment of X dollars will yield about 2X in indirect benefits — in addition to the job creation and economic growth that come from the investment made by the rent-seeking company.
Seuss-gate, if you’re not aware, involves the snubbing by a School Librarian in the People’s Republic of Cambridge to a gift of books by Melania Trump. Dr. Seuss, you see, is racist propaganda.
“You may not be aware of this,“ she continued, ”but Dr. Seuss is a bit of a cliché, a tired and worn ambassador for children’s literature. As first lady of the United States, you have an incredible platform with world-class resources at your fingertips.”
She goes further. “Another fact that many people are unaware of is that Dr. Seuss’s illustrations are steeped in racist propaganda, caricatures, and harmful stereotypes,” she claims.
Earlier this year a group of mayors clung together in the name of the Paris Climate Accord. They insisted, wrongly, that the “treaty” was necessary and they intended to take action locally to support its goals. Some 379 municipal leaders signed on to Climate Mayors.org, which was all most of them ever intended.
As a group, they have done nothing meaningful since.
Hugh Hefner, the massively influential publisher and leader of the 1960s sexual revolution, died of natural causes Sept. 27 at age 91.
He is survived by his wife Crystal Harris, ex-wife Mildred Harris, partner Anna Sophia Berglund, partner Jenna Bentley, partner Kristina Shannon, girlfriend Holly Madison, girlfriend Kendra Wilkinson, girlfriend Bridget Marquardt, partner Brande Roderick, ex-wife Kimberly Conrad, girlfriend Shannon Tweed, partner Sheila Levell, partner Melissa Dawn Taylor, and many other women he was openly involved with at the same time that he was married to his three wives.
Hefner touted his pornographic magazine as “breaking barriers,” which cannot be denied. In the decades since the first issue, America has discarded the norm of
In a post over at The American Thinker labeled The Free Lunch Slide into Socialism, we see the Great Lie of proto-Socialism once again:
New York City’s Schools Chancellor Carmen Farina recently announced the new “Free School Lunch for All” for the big Apple’s public schools. This means that the entire public-school population, some 1.1 million students, will now be provided with free lunches irrespective of family income. Prior to this, approximately 75 percent of the city’s students were getting free lunches. Under this “Free Lunch for All” program, an additional 200,000 students will now be eligible. This will save the just included families about $300 a year as the cost of a school lunch is $1.75.
To the precious few in New York City who worry about the cost of public education, officials say not to fret. This added expenditure won’t adversely affect the school’s budget. It’s “cost-free” to the city as the tab will be paid out of state and federal funds. That’s me and you.
That’s all we seem to hear about from Progressives that they want and desire a more “inclusive” society. As you can see, at least on this campus, “inclusive” really means exclusive – we will include anyone that is just like us but exclude “The Others”. Once again, we see the hypocrisy of the Left and … Read more
Or even simple arithmetic baffles you. Before you read the line, remember that the top 1% pay almost 39% of income taxes. NEW YORK TIMES FINDS A FLAW IN TRUMP’S TAX-REFORM PLAN: “The plan would not benefit lower-income households that do not pay federal income taxes.” Sigh.

For several years, The Coalition of New Hampshire Taxpayers has been offering workshops on the Right to Know Law, RSA 91-A, its foundation in our State Constitution and how a taxpayer group can use it in uncovering municipal corruption.
Granite Grok filmed one such workshop.
So far, CNHT has had attendees from South Korea, the Philippines, Ukraine, six countries from Africa, Viet Nam and Sri Lanka. Most recently, visitors from Jordan and Iraq came to our office in Concord. Two weeks ago, ten people from Latin America stopped by.
Global Warming Continues to be good for Tourism in New Hampshire.

This is what you get when you hire a Democrat operative to be a “news” anchor: a smug, self-righteous ignoramus. Here he is haughtily sneering at the next Alabama Senator Roy Moore by stating that, “He doesn’t appear to believe in the Constitution as it’s written.” What did Roy Moore say to cause Chuck make … Read more
