Prohibiting Puberty Blockers and Genital Surgery Protects Trans Youth, and Every Other Youth
Once you’ve had an abortion, you can’t take it back, which is one of the many reasons we need pregnancy care centers. They will counsel you to keep the baby, but unlike the Left, if you choose abortion, that pregnancy center will counsel the former mother through the aftermath.
Elections have Consequences: “Women are More Than Roe” & “Obamacare for Hundreds of Thousands of Illegal Migrants’
Editor: Allison has been busy posting more stuff than we’ve delegated space to share each week. You can always check it out here without any promotion from us. I know she’ll appreciate it.
On, “Graphic Depictions of Sexual Acts That Are Made Available to Minor Children…”
There is an excellent clip making the rounds of a woman who testified before Congress on K-12 public schooling. What she said caught the attention of Moms 4 Liberty, who shared it on Instagram, but there is no indication of her name or who she was. I wanted to hear the rest.
On the Air with ‘Right Side Up’ – Talking Politics on Both Sides of the Connecticut River
Right Side Up Radio has been a weekly installment on (WNTK 99.7) since May of 2023, and ever since we announced VermontGrok, Mike Tagliavia and Bill Huff have been asking me on their radio show to talk VT and NH politics. We finally made it happen.
“How Coffee Shops Track Customers and Employees
There are times when I wander around some non-political sites just to see if I can find anything interesting to use here. Most of the time, actually the vast majority of the time, it’s a resounding “No!”.
“Time to Grow Up & Back To Work” – An Ad That Also Makes Sport of Wokeness
This has been lying around in my stack of stuff for a while, but it is still amusing. It is an ad for a recruiting firm, RedBalloon, that contributor Pam Brown referenced back in 2021 (“Finding Freedom“).
Yet Another Bite At the Podcast-Reboot Apple – Skip and Steve Talk Presidential Politics
After multiple failed reboots of something attempting to identify as the podcast formerly known as GrokTALK!, we are at it again. Previous failures to launch were plagued (mostly) by my opinion that the product was crap.
Skip’s Sauntering Snippets – the Ronnie Abbot Edition
At my post “If You Live In Belknap County (NH), You are Looking At A 35% Rise In Your County Taxes. Blame Belknap Delegation Chair Harry Bean!“, my intent to bring a Big Flashlight that the Belknap County Delegation (made up of all the NH State Reps in the County, majority are Republicans) was about … Read more
Liberal Comedian Bill Maher Red-Pills The #Woke Revolution
Bill Maher pulls no punches when it comes to wokesters and their equivalent ideas to the new Communist Man – that they can remake Man in their own image.
Skip’s Sauntering Snippets – Twitter (and NH Democrat Party Chair Ray Buckley)
I’ll go find his tweets but now that the DNC has made their final ruling, Ray Buckley will forever be known as the Chair that lost the First In the Nation Primary for NH Democrats. Go Ray! And his immutable characteristics didn’t help at all – with the Democrats idiotic obsession that someone is no … Read more
Prager U: Progressive: “The Progressive Income Tax: A Tale of Three Brothers”
Or as I put it: From each according to his ability, to each according to his need… Oh WAIT! I’ve never said that at all! However, this IS the problem when you allow someone to convince you to “leave it to Government” to determine “fair”. It also shows what happens when people get selfish (and … Read more
Palate Cleanser – Let’s Blow Up Some Bridges! YEAH!
I LOVE explosions. Especially of Big Things. This clip has 10 of those things – Bridges! I really like the second one shown (their #9) as you can see the det-cord lighting up as the explosion goes right to left in the frame. Enjoy! (H/T: Linkiest)
Palate Cleanser – Imagine What the Tech Is behind Being Able to Watch a Virus Circle a Cell?
Harkening back to my Biology days – this is utterly amazing to watch! I am just flabbergasted at the technology and techniques needed to be able to watch a virus trying to figure out when and where to penetrate a cell in order to reproduce itself: Scientists at Duke University have created a real-time video … Read more
November BCRC: General Members Only Meeting – Charges against Gunstock Area Commissioner Douglas Lambert (Misogynist Behavior)
In addition to charges brought against Gregg Hough by the Belknap County Republican Committee’s Executive Committee for “behavior unbecoming” (attempting to disrupt the October meeting by two now named men trying to get the Editor of the Weirs Times to cancel his invitation to be the keynote speaker to the BCRC at the last possible … Read more
GrokTV – Microinterviews at Saturday’s 603 Alliance Get-Together
This past Saturday, I was invited to come to the 603 Alliance “after-hours” event as they had a day of training for their folks to help get them ready for plunging into the morass that can be the NH House.
Indoctrination at Hanover High (“The Most Liberal High School in NH”). Cameo by Deborah Bacon Nelson (Chair., Hanover Democrats)
“Who are teaching these kids to hate Conservatives?” Sounds like that would be the teachers, right? After all, I’m betting that if I look at the Party registrations of every staff member there, I’m betting than no more than 5% are Republicans. That, I’m also betting, would be far too kind. Even Deborah Bacon Nelson, … Read more
Skip’s Sauntering Snippets – #17 – Even Being a Political Junkie, I’m Already Tired of the Campaigning
Yes, I’m back, finally, with another edition of Skip’s Sauntering Snippets – and it has been a while, hasn’t it? But yes, I’m tired of it all and I’ll tell you all here: Too many polls, too many robo-calls to vote this way or that way, too many push polls, too many snail mail mailers … Read more
School District Superintendent’s Gaffe Proves Folks Like Me Were Right for a Long Time.
Once again, this very short clip is short and to the point. Loudon County Public Schools (of COURSE, it HAS to be them again!) Superintendent Dr. Scott A. Ziegler casually lets the wrong word out and with nary a pause in his step, tries to cover it up:
Crassness? I Think This Is Called “Stepping on Your Opponent’s Speech.” Nice, Maya of the Chuck Morse Campaign
First, it was the current Communications Director of the NH GOP. Now it is the former one: Maya Harvey. Like many of the NH GOP staffers, she jumped ship (like Joe Sweeney) in their efforts to grab the brass ring (as I have been putting it for YEARS) in riding a Federal campaign into The … Read more
