The Left’s war on poverty was never about lifting people up. It was about pushing more people down. And look, it’s working. Between “pandemic,” energy, economic, and even international policy, more people are struggling than ever. But the New York Times says it’s not enough.
We Can No Longer be Satisfied with Failure of Leadership
We can do better, and we have to do better. We continue to put people into positions of authority or elect people to public office that are not qualified to perform their jobs. The Peter Principle is a concept in the business world where people are moved up the ranks and promoted to their highest level of incompetence.
If You “Stand with Ukraine” You’re an Anti-Gay Bigot! (Gay Marriage is Banned by their Constitution)
If I’m not mistaken, standing with Ukraine has the distinction of inspiring the “I stand with the current thing” meme. And that’s more fitting than ever. It’s pride month, and why the hell would that matter? If you stand with Ukraine, you’re an anti-gay bigot.
Green Beret PAC – We Choose, among Others, One of Us – Don Bolduc
I am constantly surfing the ‘Net. FAR too much for me to put up and, I must admit, I spend too much time surfing. Yes, it is part of this hobby/obsession that I’d be on top of a LOT of things but it does take time. But it does payoff and I think this time, given we are now seeing the intensification of the political campaigns, it did. From a story at MSN (who was reporting what Fox News had first) (reformatted, emphasis mine): Green Beret PAC and an announcement concerning Don Bolduc.
The Third Second Amendment
Some in the media are starting to openly admit that repealing or altering the Second Amendment is a necessary first step towards allowing the government to exert more control over who can keep and bear what arms in which venues. But note that there are currently two Second Amendments. The First Second Amendment is from … Read more
We, Who the Biden Administration Are Trying to Shift from Being Citizens to Being Ruled, Are Starting to Make Our Ire Known
I’ll be recording yet another “out of sequence” Skip’s Sauntering Snippets this afternoon. Silly me – thinking I could have some at the ready for when I had writer’s block. I’m finding out the hard way that events are too many and going along too fast. Part of it will be about that those citizens … Read more
Yes, They (Transgender Militants/Evangelists) Are Grooming Our Kids in Kindergarten
They know no boundaries or limitations on what they believe they can do to our young ones. We’ve taught our kids to respect, sometimes revere, their teachers – and these sexual militants know it and are taking advantage of it. Once caught, they don’t take the blame for what they’ve done, they explode with anger and fury that WE say “no more”.
Skip’s Sauntering Snippet #9-Whose Fault Is the Great Baby Formula Shortage (Hint: It Ain’t Putin)? Plus, FDA to Be Investigated!
Yes, I’m going backwards – that’s what happens, as I’m finding out, that when you record a number of stream-of-consciousness thoughts because you had WAY too much time in the car, sometimes current events overrun your planning. Like it did with the Baby Formula – which is now back in the news as the FDA, … Read more
You Don’t Want to Give Who, Credibility?
This idea has been percolating in the back of my mind for a while, and then I read Skip’s post about Sarah Gibson and NHPR. In it, Skip notes that the “journalist” tried to contact people named in the story but not Skip.
Survival Sunday
First, remember I am merely an “enlightened amateur” as far as anything survival goes. Please vet & check on your own. Consider these to be priming the pump for your own investigations.

NH’s School Safety Task Force Came Up With 59 Recommendations Just Not the One That Works
After Parkland, New Hampshire created a School Safety Taskforce. Its job was to meet, discuss, and make recommendations on improving safety or reducing the chance of an active shooter event. They came up with 59 suggestions but left out the one they needed.
Sunday Spotlight: God Save the Queen
Each Sunday, I take a step away from daily politics and focus on someone who has done extraordinary things or who we may need to know a little better. This week’s focus is on Queen Elizabeth.
Notable Quote – when is “harm” not “harming”?
Remarks on Ronald Coase (The Problem of Social Cost) application (emphasis mine): The missed step that caused what I believe to be a calamitous misstep was identified more than 60 years ago by an economist who was, in 1991, awarded a Nobel Prize largely for his pioneering analysis of externalities: the late Ronald Coase. Coase was no … Read more
A Cooling-Off Period for Laws
In some states, you still have to wait several days to pick up a firearm after you’ve bought it from a dealer. The idea is that you might need a ‘cooling-off period’, if you were considering using the firearm in some illegal way — to commit a robbery, to confront an ex-spouse, and so on. … Read more
The Mixed Signals Are Getting More Twisted
Rising gas prices are good, as is low weekly job creation. The President thinks that both indicators are favorable signs that his economic policies are working to recover the economy. He is either delirious, ignorant of Economics 101, or was a classmate of AOC. By his sinking approval numbers, not many are buying what Biden … Read more
“Local Control” vs. “Local Overregulation”
You may recall that the reason given by Sun-King Sununu (a/k/a Governor Groomer) for his veto of a bill prohibiting school mask-mandates was “local control”:
Pappas and Kuster Want to BAN Common Semi-Automatic Rifles, Pistols, and LIMIT Rounds in Magazines
Both Representative Chris Pappas (NH Congressional District 01) and Representative Annie Kuster (NH Congressional District 02) are up for re-election this year. Both have also signed onto similar gun ban legislation as Senator Maggie Hassan, that bans common semi-automatic rifles, pistols, shotguns AND limits the number of rounds you can have in a magazine to … Read more
Putting the Amish in Charge of the DMV
I just can’t get it out of my head, the sound of President* Biden saying A 22 caliber bullet will lodge in a lung, and we can probably get it out, may be able to get it, and save a life. A 9mm bullet blows the lung out of the body. And the reason I … Read more
NH State Rep Jan Schmidt Continues the Progressive Mantra That Govt Should Always Be Paid Positions
Yep, after what seems to be a “forever hiatus”, Jan Schmidt is back. However, it’s only one role as she lost her race to continue being a Nashua Alderman. However, she continues to say inane stuff that keeps attracting attention. At an NH Journal post that announced that NH State Rep (and “Progressive Leader”) Manny … Read more
