The first thing to understand about charter schools is that reasonable people disagree about whether the outcomes from charter schools are significantly better than those from regular public schools.

I don’t remember “Impact of Slavery” as being a member of “High Crimes and Misdemeanors” for impeachment
Have I written a lot about Impeachment lately? No. Do I know WHY the Democrats want to impeach Trump? Sure – doesn’t everyone?

Democrats Lie About Reforms to Food-Stamps
This: and this: The reforms to Food-Stamps, however, do not affect children.

Is “Global Warming” Good for the Loons?
Vermont has more loons! And that’s bad and good. First, the political sort has taken over the Green Mountain State and leaned it hard left. Even the Republican Governor is a Democrat. Spending up, rights down. What’s the Good news? Loons (as in the waterfowl) are doing better.
Congressional District One Could Have Three Republican Candidates (All Named Matt)
Eddie Edwards lost to Chris Pappas in the 2018 mid-term congressional election. It was the first race in a long while in NH CD-1, where we didn’t have a Guinta or a Shea-Porter from which to choose. But as January approaches Edwards has not signaled a public interest in a do-over.

2+2 = 5 “Lies Are Informing Public Policy” The Gilford School Board, as a result of one family’s complaints about their child suffering from gender dysphoria (I’m not going to use the Left’s language anymore if at all possible – you loose the debate right off the bat) and of the passage of NH SB263, … Read more
Palate Cleanser: So many definitions for LGBT…
Does this new one mean I’m guilty of “cultural appropriation” of the Politically Correct one? How could that be, though? The Left is CONSTANTLY changing their own definition of words and acronyms – so why can’t I? Or you?

There’s an Election Coming
There’s an election coming, can you tell? The squads of Leftists are going nuts. They seem to think that if they can vote for impeachment it means automatic reelection.

Are Leftists Friends of the Little Guy?
Are Leftists: friends of the little guy? That is the cloak they cover themselves with. But are they really friends of the average American?

The culture is replete with examples of first world expressions. Many are little more than pretentious crap. But even pretentious crap that is beyond the ability of everyday people can be attractive.

Go ahead, keep alienating half of your customers
“Maybe it’s time to do something different”. Yep, just keep proving me (and lots of other Conservatives) right – the MSM is little more than cheerleaders for the Democrat Party and its agenda. They at least, in the past, were fairly subtle about it. Now, not so much as their full Progressiveness is front and … Read more
Government Schools: Valedictorian can’t do college remedial math?
I’ve written in the past that our public schools aren’t getting the job done and that’s why Parents should have choices in directing their childrens’ education.
