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.

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”

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
Four UK Schools to Begin Serving Insects (Alternative Proteins) to Kids ‘cuz The Environment!
The thinking goes like this. If we feed kids bugs, then maybe they will convince their parents to eat bugs too. As a parent, I’d like to respond to that. Go away and take your bugs with you.
Have the Scales of “Domestic” Violence Finally Been Balanced?
“Tell the world, Johnny, tell them that I, Johnny Depp, a man, I too am a victim of domestic violence. And see how many people side with you.” How many women have had men say that to them?
So, Sarah Gibson of NHPR, Are You Going to Return My Call over Your “Misinformation” in Your Post That Included Me?
Sarah Gibson from NHPR didn’t do her homework so at 2:15 pm today. She put out “misinformation” (you know, that AWFUL thing that the Left hates when it claims we on the Right have said what Free Speech allows people to do).
Everything Comes from Somewhere
You’ve heard the phrase, maybe even used it. It is ubiquitous, an idiom. “[It] came out of nowhere.” But everything comes from somewhere. The deer from the woods. The rock from a hillside or the hand that threw it. So does life. It comes from someplace, and it has a beginning. Life doesn’t just come out of nowhere. It begins, like all things, from an identifiable point of origin.
Friday Open Thread – The Left Is Cloward-Piven’Ing Us on Everything All at the Same Time.
So, how are you weathering this assault by Biden’s puppetmasters in implementing The Green New Deal across every facet of our lives WITHOUT that AOC monstrosity ever being passed by the US House or Senate?

Inflation Belongs to Putin, and Mass Shootings Belong to Republicans
I listened to Joe Biden’s dramatic speech on Thursday night about his wants and desires for gun control laws in America. He went through a litany of items he called solutions and how deplorable Republicans are for not agreeing with him unconditionally.
