“The contests don’t much matter. What really matters has already happened. In both parties, the peasants have revolted. The peasants are you and I, the poor saps who are expected to turn out in every election to put “their” party in power. Only it isn’t their party. Both parties’ elites hold the voters they depend … Read more
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched something that included these words. Real People. Not Actors. So…if actors are not real people shouldn’t the professional left be treating them like unborn babies? #ActorsLivesMatter

The Tabloid campaign against Cruz has been nothing if not…amusing. Add Ted’s father–who the Trump-Tabloid Press are now linking to the Kennedy Assassination, and it just gets better. Ted Cruz spokesman Ron Nehring isn’t waiting for another other shoe to drop; he is releasing photos of Rafael throughout history. c/o Twitchy
Neighbors can sometimes be a pain in the arse. There are some that will do things that will deliberately and gratuitously aggravate their other neighbors. These crafty folks like to do just that one small thing that cannot really bring them a whole host of legal trouble. Often times, (as shown in the video below) its an act of minutia. Some act that, for the most part isn’t worth pursuing on any level…until they become persistent.
Such was the case with Londonderry Fish & Game Club. For the last nine months, beer cans were being stuffed into our front entry gate. This was done two, sometimes three times per week. While it was annoying, I would simply remove them and enter the club…Others would do the same. Pretty soon, members were removing them and sending us emails about it…or texts with photos showing the pictures of cans stuffed into the gate.
It finally got to a point where it was clear that it had become a topic of concern for members and officers alike. The overarching concern is that perhaps a member was having a beer and then using the ranges. Check out the live video after the jump...

A bill to repeal New Hampshire’s ill-advised and as-yet-unenforced buffer zone law is scheduled for a Senate vote Thursday, May 5, two days after a committee voted 3-2 to give the bill an “ought to pass” recommendation. HB 1570 passed the House earlier this session.
The Senate tabled a repeal bill last year after an ought-to-pass motion failed on a tie vote.
HB 1570 attempts to repeal a law passed in 2014 to discourage peaceful pro-life witnesses from exercising First Amendment rights on public sidewalks outside abortion facilities. While the law delegates to abortion facility operators the right to restrict access to public property, no facility has yet done so. The law is on the books, “protecting” no one. Repeal should be a no-brainer.
The New Hampshire law is not designed to enhance the safety of women entering places where abortions are performed. That’s what laws against criminal threatening and harassment and simple assault are for. The buffer zone law wasn’t written to discourage blockades or traffic obstruction or trespassing; those offenses are covered by other laws as well. Those laws apply to people outside as well as inside abortion facilities – unlike the buffer zone law.
WMUR is reporting that NHGOP Chairwoman Jennifer Horn has decided, “that in the interest of party unity and “full transparency,” the New Hampshire delegation will meet on Friday at state party headquarters to vote for delegation chairman and important posts on the convention Rules, Platform, Credentials and Permanent Organization committees.” The Email vote was already … Read more

The revised New Hampshire Senate calendar for the May 5 session shows that HB 629, the abortion statistics bill, will be up for a vote that day. I was beginning to wonder when it would turn up.
“Justice means minding one’s own business and not meddling with other men’s concerns.” — Plato Can we teach this to the Socialists and Social Justice Warrior (punks)?
From economist Mark Perry (emphasis mine):
Based on Department of Education estimates, women will earn a disproportionate share of college degrees at every level of higher education in 2016 for the eleventh straight year. Overall, women in the Class of 2016 will earn 139 college degrees at all levels for every 100 men, and there will be a 610,000 college degree gap in favor of women for this year’s college graduates (2.195 million total degrees for women vs. 1.585 million total degrees for men). By level of degree, women will earn: a) 154 associate’s degrees for every 100 men (female majority in every year since 1978), b) 135 bachelor’s degrees for every 100 men (female majority since 1982), 139 master’s degrees for every 100 men (female majority since 1987) and 106 doctoral degrees for every 100 men (female majority since 2006). . . .
Now that there’s a huge (and growing) college degree gap in favor of women such that men have become the “second sex” in higher education, maybe it’s time to stop taxpayer funding of hundreds of women’s centers that promote a goal of gender equity that was achieved more than thirty years ago in higher education, at least in terms of earning college degrees? And perhaps the selective concern about gender imbalances in higher education should be expanded to include greater concern about the new “second sex.”
But is it misogynist to
BOSTON—Saying that such a dialogue was essential to the college’s academic mission, Trescott University president Kevin Abrams confirmed Monday that the school encourages a lively exchange of one idea. “As an institution of higher learning, we recognize that it’s inevitable that certain contentious topics will come up from time to time, and when they do, … Read more

I’d love to write more in depth about the wide-ranging circumstances surrounding this but I don’t have the time. Simply put, the NHGOP is trying to screw Trump delegates and they should be pissed. Here’s is a comment from one of them, captured from Facebook, and shared with me. …
This latest installment from Prager U has some interesting insight and asks a curious question in that context.
Pam Tucker has ended her 2016 run for Congress and her challenge of Congressman Guinta for the District 1 seat in New Hampshire.
State Rep. Pam Tucker announced an end to her campaign for the 1st Congressional District seat in New Hampshire on Monday, citing family obligations.
“Today, I’m announcing the suspension of my congressional campaign. I am so grateful to the many friends and supporters who have sacrificed so much for this campaign,” Tucker, R-Greenland, said in a statement.
“But with a young family and three daughters, it has become increasingly clear in recent days that now is not the right time for a congressional campaign,” she said.
And not the right time to dilute the vote in a primary when the state party wants to replace it’s own sitting Republican incumbent. Well, that’s what I’m thinking.
(Image H/T: Powerline) The primary season is starting to wind down and Bernie Sanders took a pounding in winning only 1 of the 5 primaries last week – he’s mathematically been eliminated. And sure, he has raised a whole lot of money outside of the typical donor class but even that isn’t enough. But like all Socialists, they have no problem in spending all of that other peoples’ money (emphasis mine):
Sanders is biggest spender of 2016 so far — generating millions for consultants
The small-dollar fundraising juggernaut that has kept Bernie Sanders’s insurgent White House bid afloat far longer than anticipated has generated another unexpected impact: a financial windfall for his team of Washington consultants.
By the end of March, the self-described democratic socialist senator from Vermont had spent nearly $166 million on his campaign — more than any other 2016 presidential contender, including rival Hillary Clinton. More than $91 million went to a small group of admakers and media buyers who produced a swarm of commercials and placed them on television, radio and online, according to a Washington Post analysis of Federal Election Commission reports.
In honor of Kimberly’s post: I have an uncle that gave his life, willingly, in WW II. How come we got stuck with the pansies? (H/T: Powerline)
Rule #1 – Adult themes, kid friendly; do not post up anything that would cause little Janie and Johnny to ask their parents “What does this mean”?
Kimberly put up that well deserved rant that Steven Crowder, conservative comedian, laid down at the UMass Amherst (“the mother ship”) when “oh so sensitive at any perceived faux outrage” crybullies when he, Christina Hoff Sommers, and Milo Yiannopoulos were there to speak / “trigger” to these “educated” numbskulls(/sarcasm off).
This is the other video that matches his rant – I do believe that this miserable fat cretin feminist blob of…well…something is the “boar” that Crowder went after. It is clear that her parents will not see an ROI on her college tuition (unless of course, her heart’s content is to work at some Womyn’s Center (and cry-o-torium) on some other campus. Only a person some beta-male could love (depending, I guess, on what gender identity she’s wrestling with).
At the least, I’m putting the video after the jump (NSFW). As Ed at Instapundit put it: Behold what a century of “Progressivism” has wrought:
