I’m beginning to like this guy, J.P.Sears – you’ll be seeing more of him. Caution if at work – the “B” word starts showing up in the last 1/3 of the video.
AOC May Get “Gerrymanded” Out of Her Congressional Seat?
This is pretty funny. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was already passed over (er, snubbed) for a high visibility seat on the House Energy and Commerce Committee and this write up in the NY Post alludes to what may be happening to her next .
Facebook Doodlings: Math is a Harsh Mistress
Math is a harsh mistress because it doesn’t lie. Eeither everything “adds up”, squares the circle, balances the equation (put in your own phrase here) or it doesn’t work. What can be outside of that is peoples’ perceptions.
Look at the similarities and go “Really – we’re letting this happen in the Live Free or Die State?”
So, what is the difference then and now? “The Biderman Report of 1956 and Covid-19” H.T WRSA Facebook
Notable Quote – Prof. Larry Arnn
This is a long excerpt from the latest Hillsdale College offering, Imprimis. Are we heading headlong into a dystopian future with respect to American Freedom and Liberty? Here, Larry Arnn uses both a passage from Orwell’s 1984 and a snippet of a Ronald Reagan speech as a contrasting points: ****** “Already we are breaking down … Read more
Confusing Rights With Desires Is The Inexorable Path to Tyranny
I’ve had occasion to do some reading over the Holidays. In the midst of that, I’ve revisited The Conservative Mind by Russell Kirk. If you do not own it, I suggest you acquire a copy. Why? Well, this on the matter of “rights.’
Quick Thought: If only JHo had had Principles to lose…
SHOT: Jennifer Horn: GOP has lost its compass CHASER: Her lack of Principles has circled back around her. Good riddance. She’s always been a political and financial opportunist. Both were on full display when she stabbed the TEA Party movement and Jack Kimball in the back (and then climbed over his back to succeed … Read more
Massachusetts: 16-Year-Olds Can Get Abortions Without Parental Consent
Maskachusetts Governor Lockdown Charlie Parker (Baker), in a meaningless gesture, vetoed the bill. But the left wants what the left wants. The Democrat Majority (forever) legislature easily overrode the veto. It is now lawful for girls as young as 16 to get abortions in the Bay State without parental consent.
The 603 Alliance Announces Free Training for Candidates for Local Office
Good government starts at the local level. Do you want to keep taxes low? Prevent wasteful spending? Fight for quality education? This January, please consider filing to run for local office!
The D.C. Bureaucracy Has It’s Own Term Limits Problem
When was the last time you heard a professional politician make sense? Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee said over the weekend in an interview there should be term limits “for bureaucrats.” The comments were made in an appearance with Steve Hilton on Fox News’ “The Next Revolution.”
Registered Nurse Rant
We get so much stuff (Thank You!) that there is often not enough time to follow up on it and share it. This was interesting enough (and controversial), so I figured I’d drop it in a quick post and let the community decide what to make of it.
What You Clicked and Read the Most During the 2020 COVID Apocolypse Year- Part II
We will have published just under 4600 new posts in 2020 by New Year’s Eve. That’s just over 12 per day, every day, all year long. To focus on just 10 seems trivial, but this is a hobby, so we aren’t paying someone to post the top 100. Ten will have to do.
Portland ‘Defund the Police’ Oregon Has 116% Increase in Shootings for 2020
Portland was long past stupid many years before George Floyd overdosed on Fentanyl. We have close to 200 posts on this progressive policy poster child. Their latest left-wing tantrum included yanking 15 million and ending the city’s gun violence reduction team. Shootings are up over 116% from 2019.
Data Point – What Mayor de Blasio’s Wuflu Diktats Have Wrought
Abstracted from “New York City chain stores shutter as lockdowns kill businesses and New Yorkers flee“: Big brand stores have closed their doors in New York City after months of coronavirus lockdowns.
Action Civics: “Action civics is the application of Alinsky-style political organizing tactics to school children.”
I had never heard of the term “action civics” before I saw this post over at Powerline. Now, we see yet another word / idea being bastardized for use by the Left. I know what “direct action” is – the idea by Leftist groups that getting physical (e.g., Antifa, creating mobs, harassment, et al) is … Read more
#Woke-Culture Girl Scouts Pissed That Boy Scouts Are Attracting Their Girls
The Girl Scouts have been driving hard down the #woke highway for years. So, when the Social Justice Warriors finally broke the back of the Boy Scouts of America, they probably sniggered, maybe even applauded, at least until girls started becoming ‘Scouts’ instead of Girl Scouts.
Notable Quote – Prof Walter Williams: “if it will save just one life…”
How many times have we heard that “if it will save just one human life, it’s worth it” or that “human life is priceless”? Both are nonsense statements. If either statement were true, we’d see lower speed limits, bans on auto racing and fewer airplanes in the sky. We can always be safer than we … Read more
Newfields, NH Ban on Residential Protests is Probably Illegal and Unconstitutional
UPDATED and BUMPED: See Update II, below
Steve pointed out that the Town of Newfields decided to create its own sense of a new Protected Class. They have outlawed protests in front of any home or dwelling (yeah, I know, a rather “broad” class but stick with me here).
