It is the nature of human beings to wonder about things in the past. Take the Nazis for example.

How is it that they … Read more

Curating content can lead to exciting discoveries, like this story from the left-wing-funded States Newsroom. I found it shared in the Vermont Daily Chronicle. No worries, they aren’t part of States Newsroom, though I suspect Vermont has a site somewhere. (Locally, it is the NH Bulletin). These sites engineer narratives with headlines and content written … Read more
The Thanksgiving holiday in the United States has a checkered past. Its more recent origins lie largely in government attempts at pushing propagandistic narratives. For example, Abraham Lincoln demanded Americans be thankful for ”the advancing armies and navies of the Union” during the Civil War. George Washington instructed Americans to give thanks for the new constitution in … Read more
Former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director and incoming “border czar” Tom Homan said Wednesday on Fox News that he would not be intimidated by those seeking to harm him, following bomb threats and “swatting” calls directed at President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks.

The University of Michigan Board of Regents has expressed concern over how, to borrow a term, safe and effective its DEI program has been.

Sometimes, words take on new meanings, and in other instances, meanings are thrust upon them. Some words have several meanings, like, say ‘Fly.’ It is a mode of transportation, a bothersome insect, and an important part of your apparel (pants in particular). I can’t speak any other language, but English has its fair share of … Read more
Thankfully, this story will likely be published on Black Friday and not the day before. We wouldn’t want to give you indigestion, though that may be beyond our ability to control. It is a tale of tyrannical flavors from the Great White North, where a town was fined for refusing to “celebrate” Pride Month, eh? … Read more
George Floyd overdosed and then died in police custody. Black Lives Matter rose from obscurity to lead a revolution (burning down black businesses and extorting money), and weak-kneed concerns, from insurance to sports teams to pancakes, rice, and dairy products, cleansed their brands of anything “brown person.” These casualties included the Mutual of Omaha Chief, … Read more
Marxism and its advocates are notoriously violent, and we can trace that tendency back to Sergey Nechayev. His 1869 pamphlet, The Revolutionary Catechism, explicitly advocates exterminating everything to replace it with Marxism. The only form of revolution beneficial to the people is one which destroys the entire State to the roots and exterminates all the state traditions, … Read more
For the last nine years, Trump supporters have had to be careful who they confided their allegiance to. We could not proudly flaunt Trump signs in our front yard while our neighbors had no issue planting Clinton, Biden, or Harris signs like dandelions. Buy a MAGA hat, but leave it in the hall closet because … Read more
Biblical Christianity and the Ten Commandments are the basic foundation of Western civilization and the true reason for “American Exceptionalism.”
But Bernie-blue Vermont continuedsto shamelessly push anti-MAGA propaganda spewed by the mainstream media — in public schools, by paid teachers.
Someone who works as a DEI professional has closed her business willingly after Donald Trump’s election last Tuesday.
What are the worst things a public school COULD do these days? Some parents are suggesting that the Kearsage School District in New Hampshire is responsible for traumatizing their kids AND the students of other nearby schools. They knew many of their soccer players were uncomfortable with a biological male joining their girl’s soccer team, … Read more

Hat tip out of the gate to Brian Lewis (Grok: Words Mean Things Oct 23rd ) for subscribing to my Substack and, in doing so, allowing me to follow him and find this – a different Substack called The Radical Center, and this content in particular: Transphobia is a False Premise. It’s an excellent read, and … Read more
In Japan, lifetime employment is almost a given. Employees are protected by law and custom, so a wide scale RIF rarely happens. The company does not want to incur embarrassment or admit that they have excess personnel, which could mean unnecessary expenses that reduce profitability and thus affect the company’s stock price. Japan has a … Read more
I apologize for dragging this topic out again so soon, but my home state has been getting a lot of “love” in the media (national and international) over the girl’s sports transgender athlete state law pedophile dad thing.

This is not a first-time nod but a repeat (if memory serves). New Hampshire has ranked number one in the United States for beer consumption (woo-hoo!). Northeastern states, particularly New Hampshire (1.66 gallons) and Vermont (1.58 gallons) have some of the highest beer consumption rates in the country. New Hampshire doesn’t have state sales tax, … Read more
