The Left and Teenage Mental Illness: Bug or Feature? (Part 1)
by Aaron Warner
It can be difficult to look at the political left and ascertain just what is going on in their minds. Much of what they say they are about involves looking out for the oppressed, leveling the economic playing field, teaching people to be more tolerant of those outside of the norm, and helping children learn and feel more safe, among other things.
Empowering Yourself to Combat Anxiety and Stress
Because of the constant pressures and high expectations of modern life, worry and stress frequently become our friends. But accepting this struggle demonstrates inner strength and illumination rather than frailty. We may take charge by establishing devoted habits and useful tools, which will lessen their influence and help us pave a calm path to empowerment. … Read more
Is Your Public School Pushing Your Child Toward Suicide?
In this short clip from Dr. Gary Thompson, he explains the severe damage caused to children when they are blamed and shamed. That can happen when Critical Race Theory apologists push that radicalized hate-filled political agenda in the classroom.
Help Us Tell Moms and Dads the Truth About the Gender Craze
TikTok, Tumblr, Netflix, school counselors, and librarians tell us how liberating it is for girls to identify as boys or non-binary, and to have physicians change their bodies so they can be more like their “authentic selves.”
Brentwood Selectmen – Yep, emails. Lots of emails. Aren’t RSA 91:A demands great?
by Skip
Well, it seems that Brentwood Selectman (and former NH State Senator) Jon Morgan (aka “Goober for Gubnor,”) is none too happy that in addition to looking for the Brentwood Selectmen Handbook, I also put in an RTK (Right To Know) for all of the Selectmen emails since the beginning of the year. Not happy at ALL.
How Schools Can Harm the Mental Health of Children Even with the Best Intentions
Depression, anxiety, eating disorders, drug and alcohol abuse, and even suicide are some of the most serious mental health issues school-aged children may face. It’s a problem that parents, community members, legislators, and school officials have been trying to deal with for a long time.
Nashua Student with Anxiety Tossed Out of School for Not Wearing a Mask
Schools across the state of New Hampshire have children attending school with and without masks on their face. In many private schools, parents decide if their child needs to wear a mask to school. Some public school boards also voted to uphold the rights of parents to make this decision.
Sex Reassignment Procedures Creating More Anxiety Among Trans Not Less
Advocates for things like mandatory Medicaid coverage for transgender hormone treatment or reassignment surgery have a problem. Sexual reassignment surgery does not decrease anxiety in people with gender dysphoria; it makes it worse.
Unease and Anxiety walks upon the land – Has a Preference Cascade started?
by Skip
What is a Preference Cascade? A great definition after the jump – but think how quickly the TEA Party movement started three years ago.
Part 1: I generally do my gun and ammo purchasing at one of two gun shops (unpaid plugs: Belmont Firearms on Rte 106 in Belmont, NH (and I have a membership at their indoor range) and Skip’s Gun & Sport Shop in Bristol, NH). Well, TMEW and I had stopped practice shooting for a while and one day we both looked at each other and said “Hey, we haven’t gone to the range in a long time….” and we’ve restarted. Looking at what I had on hand, I went up to Skip’s to get some ammo for the Walther P22 that TMEW uses a lot and for which BF didn’t have in stock (yes, I could have ordered it, but I hadn’t been up to Skip’s for a long time and wanted to see the results of their expansion). Bought some other ammo types, a new range bag for TMEW, a handgun rack for the safe, and a few other things that go boom!
Anyways, I ended talking with the clerk at the counter, and a comment was made (seeing the cases of 9mm and .380 I put on the counter) that people were not really buying ammo by the box (20, 25, 50, et al) anymore but rather , more and more, by the case (e.g., 500 or 1,000 rounds at a whack). And it isn’t by just single people coming in but groups of people, or a single person buying for a whole gaggle of folks. She looked at me and said words to the effect “People are getting nervous and anxious – people are not sure what is about to happen next.”
Unease and Anxiety walks upon the land – Has a Preference Cascade started? Part 2
by Skip
The conversation I had with the clerk today (er, just looked at the clock – yesterday) about what might be just over the horizon? What set me off on this topic was a post I read a bit ago on Patheos by The Anchoress – “I expect the crowd in power to destroy everything…“. She starts off referencing a post from Instapundit:
GOING JEAN GALT? Patrick Carroll writes:
I decided to take six months off this year. I sold stock and did what I wanted for a blissful six months. I read books, drank good wine, watched my garden, got out my high-powered binocs and looked at the planets, hiked, cooked, ate well, just lived. I did so because I expect the crowd in power to destroy everything, so I thought I’d take a break before the deluge…I also bought guns (rifle, shotgun, pistol each for the wife and I), and have contracted with a local landscaping company to build a highly-defensible, nice-looking (fence/hedge combination) perimeter for my property.
Oh, and I bought water barrels. And a propane tank. And a generator.
And then adds (emphasis removed, and added by me):
What’s interesting is that I am hearing similarly discomfited talk around me, and seeing it in my emails. In the past few weeks I’ve heard some surprising people admit they’ve been arming themselves and purchasing ammunition — one such discussion happened all around me at the hairdresser’s while I sat and listened. The stylist and his boss, they’re storing food and arming themselves. The chiropractor who popped in to say hello while taking his afternoon stroll said he is armed, too: “never in my life thought I’d have a gun in the house, now we have two.”
