Comrade Volinsky got some bad news this week. A judge has ruled that his clients, Mary Lee Sargent and Arnold Alpert, do not have standing to sue the state for removing a historical marker honoring Communist Elizabeth Gurley Flynn. I have to wonder if he knew that and just took their money.
Flushing Your Money Down the Toilet on Professional Development for Teachers
As an education researcher, I’ve been hearing about wasteful spending on teacher professional development for decades. Teachers do value quality professional development, but some will privately tell you that it can be a waste of their time, and taxpayer dollars.
New Hampshire Right to Life Urges State Senate & Governor to Oppose Assisted Suicide, HB1283
The New Hampshire House passed HB1283, also known as Assisted Suicide or Medical Aid in Dying, by a 179-176 vote this afternoon[0]. New Hampshire Right to Life (NHRTL) and a broad coalition of other organizations[1], staunchly oppose this legislation and call on the NH Senate and Governor to reject it.
Night Cap: Illegal Immigration … The Magic Carpet
In 2020, during what passed as the Democrat primary, Joe Biden pledged that he would open the border. If … IF … you really cared about protecting America from an illegal immigrant invasion, you would have gotten 100 percent behind Trump. Did Ayotte? Did Sununu? Did Mikey Graham? NO, NO and NO. Just the opposite.
An Ad I’d Like to See
Over the past few weeks, I’ve had occasion to watch Robert F. Kennedy Jr. give testimony before Congress. Most recently, he was trying to explain why a hearing on censorship should not itself be subject to censorship.
Freedom Of Speech And Thought Is On The Block
The recent unfortunate event in New York City, which honored the promoted FDNY members, poses many questions about rights and decisions. As does the outburst by the Gold Star father who shouted down Joe Biden as he delivered the State of the Union address.
Must Watch: Climate the Movie – The Cold Truth
Thanks to everyone who sent me links to this, and it was several of you. To what? Climate The Movie -The Cold Truth. I had not set time aside to watch it but several readers were quite excited and adamant that I watch it sooner rather than later. I did.
Republican Enemies of Transparency
I’m going to call a spade a spade. There will be no sugarcoating and no special treatment for any reps that I once liked and respected, so let’s get started. Consider me the National Transportation Safety Board examining the wreckage.
American Democracy Died SIXTY (60) Years Ago
The level of DENIAL on the Right in America is breathtaking and pathetic. It is undeniable that the 2020 election was RIGGED. Yet the bitter-clingers on the Right believe that somehow 2024 will be different … even as they watch the FakeNews (I’m writing this on March 20th) run with yet another BIG LIE, the “bloodbath” hoax.
The Process is the Punishment
So, what happens if the Trump verdict in New York is overturned or if the fine is reduced to a more reasonable value? (Which — given that normal procedures were followed, and no one was harmed — would be around $10 at most.)
Maybe Hodor Works at the CDC
The latest outrage from the CDC is a redacted 148-page report on myocarditis. There’s nothing there. Every page is blank. The research is nothing but textless pages. They don’t even show the word myocarditis. There’s nothing to see here; move along, please.
NH House Republican Attendance for the Week of 3-21-2024
It was another week of wins and losses at the NH State House, and Transparency lost big time. You can get more details on that here if the urge strikes, for or purpose is different. We bring you news of Republicans who missed Roll Call votes and how many.
So, Kids, What Did We Learn From This Week’s House Session (3/21/24)?
We learned that it took from 10 am until 8 pm, with an hour break for lunch, to get through 44 bills, their amendments, and all the various motions. It was a very long day, but we got some good work accomplished. I won’t go through everything, but let’s review some highlights.
Night Cap: You Are Not Saving the Planet, but You Are Ruining Life on It …
Every spring, no matter how soon or how late it arrives, we have frogs and the things frogs eat. We have the things that eat frogs and that eat them, and so on—the circle of life. Everything eats something else.
We Need An Adult To Intervene In New York
We need someone to step up in New York City to end this childish play for attention by corrupt, power-hungry State Attorney General Letitia James and the cartoon figure Judge Arthur Engoron. This mockery of justice has gone on too long and is now a threat to future businesses operating in New York or even this country.
A Public Infestation at Work
Since this President is intent upon re-election, his choice of politics over country for his State of the Union speech was a no-brainer given the opportunity of a rare national audience. However insulting this was to House members, it’s merely one Biden incident.
What Will Be Your Hot Button Issue In November
The candidates will make promises until they are blue in the face. This election cycle will be different than any of our lifetimes. You have to go back to 1956 when President Eisenhower defeated Adlai Stevenson in a rare rematch of the 1952 election. This was the last of six such rematches in history and the last until 2024. It will be the first time since Grover Cleveland that a former President ran for a second term.
Irony Alert: Congress Wants to Ban a Platform Doing More to Protect Free Speech Than They Do
The Congressional TikTok Ban is a bad idea, and Republicans promoting and advancing it make it worse. We can wonder why they are helping Biden’s agenda but a greater issue is wanting any president to have the ability to censor any social media platforms at an executive whim.
State Rep Damond Ford … You CANNOT Be Progressive And Pro-Israel
I previously posted about State Rep Damond Ford (Communist – Manchester) Comm-washing the history of slavery in order to indoctrinate schoolchildren: State Rep Damond Ford Doesn’t Know Much About History. But there is more.
It Hertz! – Rental Car CEO ‘Resigns’ After EV Fleet Fail
Hertz Rental Cars jumped the shark on EVs, going all in on fleet expansion, complete with ads featuring Tom Brady to promote the product. Not long after, Hertz discovered – you’d think they’d have done due diligence in advance – that EVs cost more, more to maintain, and are … unreliable. We knew this.
