For Democrats “Abortion” is about Protecting the Right to Kill Newborns
Depending on the channel or service, if you watch “television,” you get five minutes of ads about abortion for every 8-10 minutes of programming. It’s aggravating with little pushback, so I’ll share at least two things about this single-issue, media carpet-bombing I think you need to know.
The Scandal of Owen Labrie and the #MeToo Movement

Another week and more Monday memes than you can shake an F-15 at (or should I say, at which you can shake an F-15). Sometimes we pretend to care about the grammar.
If Abortion is a Right Then There are No Such Things as ‘Fathers’
I was listening to the chugging sound of my Keurig this morning, and I had a thought I’d had before, maybe even shared. When did I realize that life has to begin at conception? I’m not clear on a day or a date. It didn’t just hit me.

Woke Warriors is a Conundrum
Suicide Six Culturally Appropriates Abenaki Word for New Resort Name
Just so we’re as clear as Vodka, we are playing by House rules where “The House” is the culture that drove Suicide Six Ski Resort to change its “insensitive” name in the name of mental health. The New Name is Saskadena to honor “descendants” of the land’s “original” inhabitants.
Sunday Spotlight: The Fine Folks on the Pond
Many of us have become very cynical and protective over the last couple of decades.

Life seemed much simpler back then, and there was an implicit trust of everyone in your … Read more
Teacher’s Union Goes To War with America
Back in 2012, we poked fun at the American Federation of Teachers. They’d sent out a pre-election survey to candidates. Twenty-Five questions, and not one of them was about children or education. Power and money. That was their agenda. And here comes the NEA a decade later.

Labeling the West as an Oppressive Patriarchy is Fundamentally Flawed
The new left, same as the old left, has a goal. The revolution. Burn everything down and from these ashes will arise something better. At least that’s what it says in the Marxist’s tri-fold marketing literature which is spoon-fed to younger generations.

Since America’s inception, guns have been a part of our culture. Our inherent right to self-defense is enshrined in our Constitution. But in recent years, senseless mass killings by deranged gunmen have become almost a commonplace occurrence. As a result, many Americans have come to see firearms as nothing more than instruments of mass destruction, … Read more
The Burger King Pride-Month Bun-Pander
Tolerance and diversity hint at acceptance like some gender equivalent of the American melting pot. I think we know that’s not how it works, so what does Burger King’s Pride Month Whopper bun-stunt represent?
Rainbow D!ld* Butt Monkey
Old story, but new to us and indicative of the culture with which we find ourselves wrestling. A tale from the people’s Republik of Wokeistan and one of its purveyors of the progressive pestilence, the public libraries.
Uterus Cereal Because Talking About Menstruation at the Breakfast Table Should be a Thing
How about this for a publicity stunt with a mission. Intimina, a feminine care brand, is offering you a box of cereal. It consists of crunchy red bits shaped like the female reproductive system. Why? They want to normalize conversations about menstrual bleeding.
Skip’s Sauntering Snippets #11 – It’s a Sobering Observation That’s It’s Not the Gun but the Left’s Changing of the Culture That’s to Blame
Yes, this is out of order, numerically speaking, with those Snippets “in the can” but not yet published. But, I felt it was right given the copycat tragedy that just occurred in Uvalde, Texas.
Yet another mass shooting at an elementary school.
