In 1991 I returned to New Hampshire after being activated by the Marines for Operation Desert Storm, aka Persian Gulf War I. The happy homecoming will always be a fond memory. Some things had changed in my absence, of course, but time marches on.

Ashli Babbitt’s Cause of Death During Jan 6th DC Riot Ruled a Homicide
Last I knew, “insurrections” end up with two sides killing a lot on both sides. With regard to the Capitol Rion in DC on January, 6th, there were very few deaths and none was caused by civilians. That already strains the credibility of Democrats calling it an insurrection, but now this!?
Notable Quote – The Effective Definition for the Left’s Use of “Equity”
Here is an effective definition for the left’s use of the word “equity.” “It is a meritocracy, not based on your abilities, motivations, and work ethic but on suitability by skin color, sex, and ethnicity.
Die Gedanken sind frei … A Tune for While You Read
Die Gedanken sind frei … My thoughts freely flower. My thoughts give me power. No scholar can map them; no hunter can trap them; o man can deny… Die Gedanken sind frei.
Do You Really Advance Truth by Destroying Truth?
Today the First Amendment to the constitution of the once freest nation in the world is moribund. Its enemies are not Klansmen in hoods seeking to intimidate blacks. And its enemies are not right-wing conspiracy theorists rooting out communists.
Larger is the New Smaller
Suppose some people come to your home and tell you that, since you have too much money, and they don’t have enough, you have to give them some of yours; and if you don’t, they’ll hurt you. If they do this regularly, they don’t even need to continue with the threats, since the ongoing threat is implied.
Next-Level Virtue Signal: L’Oreal to Remove Words Like ‘Fairness’ and ‘White’ From Products
Not long from now, it will be verboten to use terms like White Hat or words like Blackmail. And can the thought police are not far behind? I know, they are already here, but they will no longer be able to lighten dark spots of whiten skin tone no matter what color your skin.
You’ve Been Paying Social Security Benefits to People Whose Disability is That They Don’t Speak English
I’m not sure what I found more surprising. That the US government has a rule that allows you to collect social security disability benefits because you don’t speak English or that we are changing the rule to make collecting on those grounds more difficult.
Campus Thought Police Challenged in the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals
The thoughtcrime infrastructure already exists in most states, spawned from templates created on College Campuses. So-called Diversity and anti-discrimination commissions are nothing more than a grown-up version of the Bias Response Team, as Orwellian a thing as can be imagined.
Another example of the Left perverting our common language: Sanctuary City
I’ve been railing (wailing?) for a while about how the Left is perverting our language right out from underneath our lips. Like Transgender – a word of the Left. We should be calling it by its actual name ALL the time: gender dysphoria.
To the Modern Left, Even the Meme Cannot Meme What it Thinks it Memes
The left is a funny lot, and I don’t mean Ha-Ha funny. They invent these terms like ‘hate speech,’ and hate crimes,’ all while promoting the postmodern deconstructionism required to justify identity politics and the gender spectrum.
Pronouns 101 – Coming Soon to a Campus Near You?
You want to be prepared to pronounce the proper pronouns. Because addressing a total stranger whose “gender preference” you probably can’t predict presents a preponderance of problems. At least for them.
What Do Democrats Mean by “Human Rights?”
Last night Democrats took to the national stage for another debate. I will admit, I only caught about 15 minutes of it. But within those 15 minutes, I heard something from the candidates that I keep hearing from the political left consistently. They keep talking about “human rights.”
T-Ball College Academics and the Problem of White Language Supremacy
T-Ball academics going mainstream sounds silly but it is very serious. It comes from Walter Willams piece at The Daily Signal and exposes how American University has hired a professor to teach other professors on how to grade students.
So, Democrats, What Exactly is a Non-Assault Weapon?
Assault: n. A violent physical attack, as with blows. n. A strong or cutting verbal attack. So, by repeatedly calling anyone in middle-America who is not a Democrat “racist” the American media is an assault weapon. It’s true.
When Republicans Adopt Language Redefined by Democrats They’ve Already Lost – Right, NH House Republican Office?
Sheesh…once again, the Stupid Party earns its moniker. Repetez avec moi: I will not use Democrat linguistics. I will not use Democrat linguistics. I will not use Democrat linguistics. Because once I do, I have already lost.
I’m Going to Start Referring to My AR-15’s as MS-13’s ….
Doing our part to use the left’s hypocrisy to our advantage.
How The Word ‘American’ Became Problematic
The big news this week was a University of New Hampshire Language Guide that explained what words were problematic in conversation and should be avoided to foster diversity and “inclusiveness.” We journey back to the 1990’s with our Ed expert Jorge Mesa-Tejada to explain when this problem with the word “American” began.
This is the first time I’ve heard this….
…and in contradistinction to most times in our lives, this is a chance to commemorate it: The “DC” in Washington, DC stands for “District of Corruption.” Is it not apt? Is it not true? You tell me.
