A bunch of people had trouble getting tickets for Taylor Swift’s upcoming concert tour, and the United States Senate has decided that it has to spring into action to address the cause of the problem: a lack of competition.

The Story of Thanksgiving – Only As Rush Limbaugh Could Tell it.
(Image H/T: Rush Limbaugh) I thought that I had used his recounting of the First Thanksgiving. Instead, in trying to find his Thanksgiving post on communal vs private property rights, I found this one instead. It’s a good one all on its own and I urge you to read it. However, it was Rush I … Read more
Democrats Want You to Ruin Thanksgiving with Biden’s Accomplishments
If you are looking for a Thanksgiving tradition you’d like to forget, we’ve got some, and yes, we’re here (like every year) to remind you. The Left has released its annual cheat sheet, and this year it comes from the White House, and it’s nothing but gaslighting.
A lesson from the First Thanksgiving
Updates below.
I like reading John Stossel as often he proclaims a down to earth message with common sense appeal. In addition, what he talks about is grounded in results rather then an ideological background. When I saw his column, so apropo for today, it does need to be reviewed.
Why? Allow me to inject a bit of what some might consider politics on a day given over for other-than-politics. The lesson learned by the Pilgrims is one that we should be paying close attention to, as we are looking to select a new leader, just as the Pilgrims selected Bradford as their new leader. I see the Democratic candidates all running to socialistic tendancies more and more – think “it takes a village” on steroids. Yet, given history’s results on “the common good” and the hatred that seems to be simmering on the Left for capitalism, sometimes we do need to pay attention to what history tells us of certain choices and actions, lest we repeat them over and over….
Challenges, Yes, But Plenty to be Thankful For
I think we are cynical people by nature. We believe in the worst because we are constantly bombarded by bad news. The old adage “if it bleeds, it leads” has never had more meaning.
Palate Cleanser – C’mon Man, It’s FUNNY!
Progressives – always the buzz-killers. All the time we hear from comedians that Progressives are killing comedy especially if they tell a joke or a story that goes against a Woke Narrative. Say the wrong thing and get canceled. Get hounded out of your life. Tossed to the curb to lay in the gutter. So, … Read more
ICYMI (I Did!)- Yesterday Was the 12th Anniversary of ‘Climategate.’
Twelve years ago, on November 22nd, someone released emails revealing communications between leading “scientists” on Global Warming. The interactions were not only not flattering, they were damning. The experts were manipulating data and suppressing debate.
Some Humans Will Do Anything To Hurt Their Fellow Man
This week in the US we have heard of a plethora of shootings, stabbings, and fires. That’s combined with incessant talk of a build-up toward war with Russia or China, and news that the dollar will collapse.
Second Amendment Happy Ending of the Day – Don’t Stop Shooting Until the Threat Is Neutralized
Remember, warning shots at an aggressor might be used against you. Ammo is still not cheap, and getting killed yourself is worse. This example might be helpful in your future (reformatted, emphasis mine):
Progressive Medicine: If You Refuse “The Vaccine” You Should Be Treated with Drugs for Mental Illness …
I know the Left thinks it has a monopoly on mobs (sorry, peaceful protests), but the Public Health Industrial Complex in The Dominion is escalating the war on bodily autonomy, which means it’s out there and could be here sooner than we think.
The Comrade Running the Derry School Board Meetings
Our elected representatives are supposed to represent the people who elect them. There will certainly be times when our elected representatives vote, or do not share our views on an issue. I think we all know how that works. But what happens when those you elect, decide that they do not want to hear from you.
Progressives Have No to Little Concept That Changing a System Here Necessarily Means Changes Will Occur There and There And…
As I said in my earlier post (“The Biden Administration Is about to Add a $6/Gallon Tax When You Fill Up Your Car“), the Biden EPA mavens want to arbitrarily jerk your energy (For each and every energy source you utilize) from a tax of $1/ton to upwards of $190/ton. It IS (after all) their mission to save the planet.
Being a Conservative Shouldn’t Make You an Isolationist
I had an interesting experience this week that challenged me as a Conservative. It was noteworthy because I have always thought of myself as not close to the center, but when I had a blog twenty years ago, my tagline was “there is no room to my right.”
How Democrat Rosemarie Rung Won and Lost
Merrimack’s Democrats were unable to repeat their 2018 feat. That’s the year they managed to get four Democrats into the Statehouse from my town. This year they got three, and that is three too many, but they’ve got a problem. They won based on a lie.
The Biden Administration Is about to Add a $6/Gallon Tax When You Fill Up Your Car
The Biden Administration is about to add a $6/Gallon tax when you fill up your car. Arbitrarily, by regulators – those faceless, unaccountable, unelected, and unassailable bureaucrats who are part of the Deep State that know better how you are to run your lives than you do.
The FDA Does Its Impression of King Henry II: “I Never Told Anyone to ‘Kill’ Ivermectin!”
Remember that time on Twitter when a Federal Agency publicly stated that Ivermectin was for horses and cows, not people? That was The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). They now claim that calling it horse paste wasn’t meant to prevent people from taking Ivermectin.
Exposing the Fraud: They Make Climate “Fudge” Over at NOAA, Too!
Science used to be about comparing reality to your theory. These days it is about reshaping the perception of reality until it proves your theory. Global Warming (dba: climate change) is an excellent example. With the earth refusing to satisfy any of their predictions, the experts have taken to tampering with data.
Thought Splinters (Part 4)
This seems to be becoming an ongoing series of pondering topics that have made, are in the process of making, or may make, fundamental shifts in my thoughts about, and perspectives of, the world.
Housekeeping: If You See Ads You’d Not Expect on The ‘Grok …
Ads are a pain, and I get that sometimes they interfere with the site experience. I’m not a fan of that, so we are always looking for ways to keep the ad revenue and improve the experience. Ads help pay the bills but mostly allow us to bank money for bigger projects, needs, or site improvements. However!
