THere is no way that we can keep up with all of the stupidness that is College Campuses today.  We can certainly say that what the Left has wrought on those campuses since the 1960s (and the Frankfurt School and that ilk before that) has come to fruition.  Remember the “Broken Windows” form of policing (i.e., crack down on the petty criminal activity and the major ones start to slow as well) that Rudy Guiliano began in NYC during his term as Republican Mayor to rectify the awefullness that was Democrat Mayor Dinkin’s legacy  that succeeded for the next decade (and which present Progressive NYC Mayor Bill DiBlasio is bound and determined to replicate)?  If college presidents were to apply this to their schools, this scourge of uninformed narcissistic self-loving, self-admiring, self-absorbed, self-obsessed, conceited, self-centered, self-regarding, egotistic, egotistical, egoistic and self-assuring incompetents we generally call students would get stopped dead in its tracks by showing them one small fact of life:

Decisions have consequences – sometimes, negative ones

OSU shows how it is done:

Great News!!!!

Low life dirt ball vote thief Carl Robert Gibson, of Kentucky and Wisconsin, voting from Concord NH, occasionally, is another month closer to his jury trial. His most recent arrest on May 15 last year was for voter suppression here in NH.

Carl will be dropped off or walking to Merrimack Superior Court on Monday, April 11 at 1 pm. I hope he is laughing all the way to this courthouse like he does when he is arrested in other states. The total is eight, so far? Just Google Carl Robert Gibson and his many laughing arrest photos pop up. He is such a jokester.

I was in Concord last week and pulled his file – Carl’s criminal file, that is.

Yes, he’s proving that Socialism is not about shared wealth, it IS about shared misery.  If it were the former, a real workers’ Utopia that Socialists and Communists are always lying bragging about, who would have to wait in a line to get bread.  I am of the generation that saw “citizens” of Socialist governments queuing up in lines in order to buy the necessities of life and we all get to see them yet again in Venezuela where the government has to guard foodstocks because it has so bungled the economy, it is turning the entire country into a man-made disaster.

And Bernie thinks this is OK?

“Vermont’s Democratic socialist presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has sought to separate his views from those of tyrannical socialist regimes throughout history. The problem is that back in the 1980’s Sanders was outspoken in his support of communist dictator Fidel Castro as well as the Soviet-aligned Sandinista government in Nicaragua.

I don’t do this enough – we talk about a lot of stuff on GrokTALK! and throw in all kinds stories when we talk about the main story of that particular segment.  But, being the “ADD blogger bunch”, we do it a lot because we all read a lot and each of these “extras” give a little but more of a nuance or detail to that main story.

• PayPal and their reaction to the recently passed law in NC about bathroom.  I wrote about it here but Katrina Trinko has questions about Paypal’s hypocrisy as well which comes down to “Hey, if you are all up in arms about limiting men to mens’ bathrooms and women to womens’, how come you still do business in countries where they just don’t insist you use the bathroom your equipment says you should, they kill you“?

The average American’s electric bill has gone up 10 percent since January, 2009, due in part to regulations imposed by President Barack Obama and state governments, even though the price of generating power has declined.

President Obama openly ran in 2008 on a platform of making electricity rates ‘skyrocket’ and bankrupting anyone who dared to build a coal plant in the United States,” Travis Fisher, an economist at the Institute for Energy Research, told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “Now, more than seven years into his presidency, it should come as no surprise that his efforts have taken a widespread toll in the form of higher electricity rates for nearly every state in the union.”

I have always been skeptical on the Libertarian stance that if the US just concentrated on Free Trade with all other countries, military incursions will be greatly reduced and maybe to zero as you don’t fight with your trade partners.  So for them (former Ron and to a less extent, Rand Paul supporters), we really could shrink our military and bring them all home.  However, one night during a political event I had a discussion with such a supporter and asked the very simple question: if you don’t like the US being the world’s policeman, tell me which country you trust to guard the ocean trade routes like the US has during “Pax America”? Cluelessness and then a mumbling of “er, perhaps you’re right”.  It has, since the middle of the Dark Age, the case that he who controls the seas controls the trade.

Now we see this from the other side of the spectrum – and Obama is abandoning that vital foreign policy fact: Behind Closed Doors, Top U.S. Commander Frustrated With Obama.

This isn’t the first we’ve heard of major disagreements between the White House and the Pentagon over U.S. Asia policy. Two weeks ago, the well-connected David Ignatius indicated that top Defense officials would like to see the U.S. take a tougher line in the South China Sea. But this Navy Times report is pretty remarkable. It’s difficult not to assume that although Harris’ office declined to comment on-the-record, someone close to the Admiral has been disclosing Defense’s frustrations off-the-record.

It’s easy to see why Defense officials would be exasperated. China is slowing but steadily taking control of one of the world’s critical shipping lanes, and the U.S. President doesn’t want to try harder to stop them because he’s focused on nuclear non-proliferation and non-binding climate agreements. Yes, the United States needs China’s cooperation on many issues. But America has, since the end of World War Two, defended freedom of the seas as a cornerstone of a peaceful world order that has largely benefited the world.

You’d think that Federalism loving voters would get this, if not understand it. Rules (some laws, customs, habits) will and should differ from state to state, including how delegates are elected by state parties and how they are expected to behave. And they do differ!

Jim Geraghty wrote about it, and shared some more thoughts in the Morning Jolt.

A point or two to add to yesterday’s article on the claim Ted Cruz is “stealing” delegates that belong to Donald Trump . . .

Maybe not a lot of folks – it is from the Concord Monitor after all.  What IS obvious is the plot line, proving what I have been saying for years, that school staff take a dim and condescending view of parents.  And now, in this court case, the Judge makes that legal (reformatted, emphasis mine):

Court: Adviser who helped girl get abortion should keep job

Demetria McKaig helped 15-year-old get judicial approval for abortion

A school guidance counselor who helped a 15-year-old girl get judicial approval for an abortion without telling her parents shouldn’t have lost her job, the state’s highest court ruled Thursday. Demetria McKaig’s contract at Farmington High School was not renewed in April 2013, four months after she blocked her principal from telling the girl’s parents about the pregnancy. A majority of Supreme Court justices said McKaig should be reinstated, but in a dissent, Justice Robert Lynn accused his colleagues of ignoring legal principles because the case involved a hot-button issue.

“Because I cannot join the bandwagon of political correctness that provides the only justification for the majority’s decision, I respectfully dissent,” he wrote.

Not news to me but I never get tired of other people pointing out the scam.

While electric cars typically emit less CO2, the savings are smaller than most imagine. Over a 150,000 km lifetime, the top-line Tesla S will emit about 13 tonnes of CO2. But the production of its batteries alone will emit 14 tonnes, along with seven more from the rest of its production and eventual decommissioning.
