Yes, at this point (even with a break in the action for people to load up on hot chocolate, coffee, or chili (or donuts or coffee)), it was dang cold but few had left to hear the next speakers: NH State Rep Victoria Sullivan and nationally recognized Second Amendment lawyer, Evan Nappen NH … Read more
All good things must come to an end and so the time in the chill box did – but not before hearing from the last two speakers: WNTK radio personality Peter Hanson and the President of WDLNH, Kimberly Morin:

Remember as you read this, I was a Cruz guy.
I’ve been watching these kinds of speeches intently for the last decade and I have to say this was about the best I’ve ever seen. Given that it was Trump, and having watched a lot of his speeches, I was amazed at its construction, his wording, and its content. It WAS good, indeed; sufficiently so that even Van Jones, self-avowed Communist and “Green” advisor to Obama, said that this was the moment Trump became President:
…He became President of the United States in that moment. Period. There are a lot of people who have a lot of reason to be frustrated with him, to be fearful of him. But that was one of the most extraordinary moments you’ve ever seen in American politics. Period. And he did something extraordinary.
…But he did something tonight that you cannot take away from him. He became President of the United States.
I would have to agree. A lot of us on the Right
On transgender bathroom access in schools, ruling class waging war on common sense. (H/T: Instapundit) Like this guy from the Democrat National Committee calling Trump a “Monster” and “Coward” for reversing “guidance” (under the threat of losing Fed money), taking the Feds out of the equation, and devolving that power back to the States and … Read more

After years of studying and practicing Tae Kwon Do, I do like the mashup of styles known as MMA (Mixes Martial Arts – boxing, wrestling, karate, ju-jitsue, judo, and pretty much anything else thrown it It’s the “what works for you”). That said, no matter what style you like, we call all agree: this ain’t … Read more
“As I’ve said on other occasions: compared to (most of) today’s advocates of the minimum wage, the minimum-wage’s early advocates had far worse ethics but a far better grasp of economics. These early advocates of the minimum wage correctly understood not only that the minimum wage destroys jobs for some low-skilled workers, but also that … Read more
Ben Shapiro spoke to a standing room only crowd at Ferris State University in Michigan. The clip above is a part of a Q and A where he addresses issues with the idea of separating sex from gender and does it well. Near the end, the conversation shifts to abortion and contraception and again, Shapiro disarms … Read more
Just in case they forgot how to get there from flyover country. H/T Twitchy
Just cool and looks like a lot of fun. Me try it? Maybe 10 or 20 years ago, sure! Now? Er, not so much unless there is an ultra-slow speed for me. (H/T: Sploid)

And asking these hypocrites own words in his questions. Most people “miss” what these political hack / special interest groups – Tucker shows that he’s listening. And doing pretty good research to boot. Almost every single of these “man in the street in the studio” questions, the interviewee ends up looking dazed, confused, and wondering … Read more
“You’re going to see a change in the way we do business,” Ms. Haley said. “Our goal with the administration is to show value at the U.N., and the way we’ll show value is to show our strength, show our voice, have the backs of our allies and make sure our allies have our back … Read more
The full quote that has everyone’s attention. By Sally Boynton Brown, the current Executive Director of the Idaho Democrat Party, who is vying for the DNC Chairmanship:
I’m a white woman. I don’t get it. I’m pleased and honored to be here today to have the conversation. I’m so excited that we’re here. I am listening, because that’s my job. My job is to listen to the issues. My job is to listen and be a voice. And my job is to shut other white people down when they want to interrupt. My job is to shut other white people down when they want to say, “Oh no, I’m not prejudiced. I’m a Democrat. I’m accepting. My job is to make sure that they get that they have privilege.”
Funny definition of “listening”. Funny definition of a DNC Chair responsibility to go “Hey, you WHITE people – SHUT UP!” And funny definition of “accepting”.
Wait – there’s MORE!
As a transgender woman asking questions: “This time, Crowder and his trusty sidekick “Not Gay Jared” decided they would take on the much discussed Women’s March, and try to find out more about it by showing up at the one being held in Austin Texas. In order to accomplish this, and put the marchers off … Read more
OK, a bit late on this as Prager U posted it on the 16th – 4 days before Trump’s Inauguration so Gina McCarthy (EPA head) and President Obama are now gone. And I will make the prediction that Trump will cancel this by Executive Order. SURE he can – even though Obama sent $100s of … Read more
Well THAT didn’t take long, did it? Trump’s honeymoon, if one could call it that, last all of, oh, six seconds with the mainstream media. I’ve been watching this stuff since I turned 18 (and very intensely the last 10) and it’s like Groundhog Day. It just seems that once a Republican enters the Oval Office, there is a renewed vigor (and no small amount of snark and anger) to what seems to be a long period of somnambulance, the MSM realizes that it should be asking the tough questions and doing the in-depth reporting once again.
Ha! Who am I kidding? They don’t – they just switch modes off and on and after watching them intensely for 10 years, it is clear that the Rs get the more attitude and persistence as well as an entirely different crop type of questions. Slow pitch softball vs fast pitch baseball (with spikes. Out of a bazooka). These dolts in the MSM just don’t seem to understand that every time they act this way, they aren’t being the Fourth Estate, they’re just confirming the bias that most of us see daily. Remember, it isn’t just how they cover the news but WHICH news they cover – and what film they leave on the floor. They still think that they are the gatekeepers and the ones to “interpret the news for us”. After all, they are the edumacated ones in the who, what, when, where, and how, right?
Er, no. Those basics were supplanted a long time ago with the famous phrase by Glenn Reynolds (the Blogfaddah and owner of Instapundit):
Democrats with bylines
The Sunday Shows –
Zooming past Godwin’s Law in 0.5 seconds flat – but that’s what Progressives do. Look, give Matthews a “bit” of a break – the guy that could give him “tingles” has now just left the scene (at least officially). Seriously though, this happens every time that Republicans take power – the Big Smear always comes … Read more
