Pine Tree Ramblings (Vol 3) – Rebellious Acts

Lots of talk about rebellion and “resistance” these days. The NFL thugs on their knees, the Antifa children-of-the-corn and the countless Sherry Frost nutcakes who see “oppression” in every blade of grass.  It is nothing more than Pecksniffian silliness.  I have no doubt this will all end with a whimper, leaving no lasting mark on … Read more

The NFL’s Kneel-a-Palooza Isn’t What They Think It Is and They Don’t Even Know It

The NFL’s Kneel-a-palooza is beginning to grate on my nerves. Team owners and players think they are doing something meaningful, but they’ve been shepherded into advocating a false-narrative that feeds the progressive mission to kneecap the culture, and most of them don’t even know it. Much like the hands-up-don’t-shoot meme, (which was a complete fabrication … Read more

Polling is Now ‘Crap’ In Germany

The militant progressives thought they had a win in Britain until Brexit passed. They didn’t blame the Russians, but the ground was broken for voters keeping secrets from pollsters in significant numbers to avoid being harassed. Many who wanted to vote for Mr. Trump in 2016 kept silent from friends, family, the militant political left, and … Read more

Irony Alert! DNC Spends More Than it Takes In

The Democrat National Committee continues to reap a “windfall” from their ongoing Blame Russia™ and “People who don’t vote Democrat are White Supremacists” narratives as donors flock to write checks in support of …wait! It’s just the opposite. The DNC raised just $4.4 million last month, the second lowest August fundraising figure for the party in the past decade. … Read more

Londonderry Flag Flap Revisited

The lead story in today’s Union Leader is about the Londonderry Flag Flap. The reporting is measured and comforting with a Gee Wally, Leave it to Beaver feel. And that’s fine. It covers the bases, gives the nice folks at Londonderry High and company an opportunity to say shucks, that wasn’t what we meant, but … Read more

Monday: Check out the New Media Militia on Girard at Large

It’s the beginning of a new week, and that means the New Media Militia Segment on Girard at Large. We’ll (probably) talk about the decline and fall of Free Speech at UNH after the recent release of their report on campus climate. The document commits the state university system to put the diversity cult at … Read more

Notable Quote – Derek Hunter

…Remember when people used to let things go? When people would just get along, not hunt for secret meanings behind actions and ways to be offended for the sake of being offended? Thanks to the progressive left that day is done. These guys [Progressives and SJWs -Skip] suck the joy out of everything. The simple … Read more

Democrat Socialists Admit Violence is Intrinsic to their Political Philosophy

We’ve always known Democrats are violent by nature and now they are admitting it. Anti-fascist activists, or “Antifa,” increasingly mobilized in the wake of President Trump’s election, are unapologetic about what they describe as the necessary use of violence to combat authoritarianism. While both experts on the movement and activists within it emphasize that not … Read more

Modern American Red Shirts Silence Speaker Appearance with Threat of Violence

Eventually, the people will do your work for you. That should be Antifa’s slogan. Because that is, after all, the point of Antifaschistische Aktion. It is also the purpose of Islamofascist terrorism. To make people behave as your ideology requires out of fear and intimidation. Assumption College in Massachusetts has canceled the appearance of speaker Charles Murray, not … Read more

A Culture of Violence to Intimidate All Speech

In part two of my chat with Rich Girard yesterday we talk about Antifa’s rotten roots, and the overreaching goal of their so-called Antifaschistische Aktion: to silence opponents by empowering the government to pick and choose what people can say, where, and when. Part I

Indoctrination and Free Speech

This morning on Girard at Large (part one of two) Rich and I discussed the leftward decline of SNHU, the search for a higher Ed solution that doesn’t come with as much social justice baggage (indoctrination boot camps), and how some schools obsessed with progressive “diversity” indoctrination find themselves losing money from declining enrollment.

Oberlin Follows Mizzou and Evergreen – Enrollment Drops, Financial Woes

Oberlin College is at the forefront of social justice outrage hoaxes but until recently had not reported any real-world consequences. See what I did there? Real world? Mizzou went full-stupid with their fake outrage which cost them, and cost them and cost them, and then cost them some more. Evergreen took it to another level, and now they … Read more

Jeanne Shaheen: Leads with the Lie

There is zero evidence that Russia hacked the “presidential election” yet New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen leads her New York Times editorial with, “The Kremlin hacked our presidential election.” It is difficult to take much she says seriously most days, but opening with an unsubstantiated talking point makes the rest of her remarks difficult to accept, … Read more

Democrat Party Chair Ray Buckley’s Hypocrisy On Extremism

New Hampshire Democrat Party Chair Ray Buckley doesn’t even have the decency to apologize for implying that thousands of likely New Hampshire voters are white supremacists. Instead, he has a spokesman spin his treachery to blame Republicans. “The Republican outrage apparatus is expectedly taking this comment out of context to manufacture controversy,” Ronan said. “Chairman … Read more

Grafton — A Bridgewater, N.H., Republican has won a special election for the open Grafton 9 district, retaining GOP control of the New Hampshire House seat.

New Hampshire Democrats And Dartmouth Professors

Because we can’t spend enough time talking about the duplicity of the media and Democrats, on the matter of political violence, we bring you this. In a textbook example of psychological projection, [the media] ascribed to the president actions and motivations which proved to be their own: making excuses for political violence. The claim that President … Read more
