Game of Thrones pushed the phrase ‘ bend the knee‘ into the popular consciousness. It means to acquiesce to power to save your neck, even if just for the moment. Another is “kiss the ring.” Wiktionary defines this as “An allusion to a traditional manner of expressing obeisance to a bishop (especially the pope) or king.”

Chris Pappas and Annie Kuster Want DC Admitted as a State
Both Chris “get rid of Live Free and Die” Pappas and Annie “I’m AOC’s BFF” Kuster wants DC admitted as a State – contra the US Constitution. But DC is not a State. At least not now. But the Dems want it BAD and they want it now.
Debunking Granite Crock’s Debunkers on Education
The Granite Crock group recently sent out an email blast soliciting ‘fact checks’ from its members to ‘debunk’ support for Education Freedom Accounts, which they see as a threat to public school funding. But it’s the email itself that needs debunking.
The Left’s Love Affair With Crime Is Disorder in Pursuit of ‘Order’
I had an email conversation with a reader about Dems and Local Policing. They were wondering, what’s the deal not just with defund but not investigating crimes. Why are these Democrats letting criminals out of jail or not prosecuting a growing list of criminal behavior?
CT Governor Wants Regional Board to Raise the Gas Tax (TCI) Because His State Needs the Money.
The folks who pushed, promoted, and signed on to the Transportation Climate Initiative (TCI) are so cute. They keep insisting that this is about saving the planet. We’ll reduce emissions. Gaia will love us. Sorry, as with all such schemes, the goal is to milk the sick cow for a few more bucks before it dies.
For the Democrat Party, Ignorance Is Not Bliss. It’s Essential.
In a recent post-election survey, 1,750 Biden voters in seven swing states were asked about various significant news events leading up to the election. They included, among other issues, the sexual assault allegation against Joe Biden from an incident in 1993, the financial scandal involving Joe and Hunter Biden, and the far-left ideology of Biden’s running mate, Kamala Harris.
Lockdowns Are Crushing the Little Guy – Democrats Are Crushing the Little Guy
Leftists obsess about income inequality. But no act has widened the gap between the rich and the poor more than the lockdowns going on right now. So remove your cranium from your rectum.
Are we gonna start seeing “Paying your taxes is Patriotic!” again? Shameless
Well, we’re already seeing that with Biden apparently winning the Oval Office (but remember that the political Fat Lady hasn’t sung yet), Democrats are already starting to “fall back in love” with the American flag (KTVU) after 4 years of all-but-despising it because Trump was President (whereas most on the Right ALWAYS are in love … Read more
Antisemitism: Dems – NH Rep. Dawn Johnson Should Resign. Me to Dems – You First!
Antisemitism is a thing, and we need to keep a lid on it, but if you are a Democrat, why is it only a thing when you think you can get a Republican kicked out of office?
“All entities that are not explicitly right-wing will become left-wing over time”
I used to do a lot of hiking, and my hiking buddy liked to pick up the occasional stone and toss it back up the mountain. He was only half-serious when he implied that he was counteracting the natural forces of regression or decline. Entropy, even. Someone should have done that with Fox News or, better yet, Republicans.
Are Socialists for Democracy or Tyranny?
Conservatives are destroying democracy. You have probably heard this Leftist talking point many times. The response to this claim is: “We’re not a democracy, we’re a constitutional republic.” This leads to an important question: Are there any differences between the two, and if so, why do they matter?
Will Dems Go with Fraud to Reverse Two House Elections?
America is transfixed on this much-disputed election outcome. Trump and his legal team are alleging widespread voter fraud.

Notable Quote – It Isn’t “Implicit Bias”, It’s a Bias by Our Educational System
Emphasis mine: “It’s the achievement gap, not systemic racism, that explains demographic disparities in education and employment.”
We Elected a Leftist … Why do we Hate America?
Ostensibly Joe Biden is a Democrat; okay a dementia patient. He has been a Party Member for a very long time. Today he is a hard-core leftist, a socialist, a communist. The Party is run by Anarchists, Antifa, BLM, and Islamists. Don’t believe it? Listen to them sometime.
Will Spreading Lots of Crap Fertilize the Garden?
In 2020 we spread a lot of political crap. But will it fertilize the garden? Okay, so which way will we go? The election was a month ago. We now have some perspective. Maybe we can offer some observations about the state of our politics. Your job here is to put on your mask and read on.
What do a NH Democrat and an Umbrella Have In Common? Both are Useless for Stopping COVID19
If an umbrella manufacturer claimed their product heightens the ability to protect yourself from the Coronavirus, what would happen?
Jeanne Dietsch Wonders If Voters Really Wanted What they Wanted – Repeates Points That Lost Her Re-Election
Democrat Jeanne Dietsch thinks she is smarter than you. I’m sorry, she knows she is. We’ve reported it; she denies that she thinks that, but then she does things that prove she is lying.
Unity, Democrats Say. Public Relations, I say
Let us start off with this. It gets right to the heart of the matter: Democrats Want Unity Only on Their Terms.
COVID Response is Creating an Exponential Increase in Mental Health Emergencies – In Children
