The miserable and unpopular Kamal Harris is grinchy about her media coverage. The first female vice president, also a woman of some color, thinks she’d get better press if she were white and male? Seriously?

The Monthly Alexa Rank Update – Why Yes, We Are Still #1 …
It’s that time of the month again. Yes, a reminder to all that a handful of liberty-minded nobody’s can fill their free time with stuff that gets more eyeballs than any other digital print media site in the state—our Monthly Alexa Rank Update.
Quick Takes – Hat Trick
I intend to write a 9-11 piece soon, but please give it a couple of days. Meanwhile, three quick-hit-style bits of news with comments:
So, What’s the Deal With Seacoast Current.Com?
If you listen to the radio, the ads seem endless. Seacoast Current.com. Seacoast Current.com. Seacoast Current.com. What is it, and how do they have so much radio coverage?
Data Point – Media Continues to Drive Its Customers Away
It’s one thing to be us – GraniteGrok – as we’ve made it clear who we are. That we write from our outlook on life as and for Conservatarians. Other media sites still spell a message that they are “objective.” “You should Trust us. We’re not like the others.” But they are and people aren’t buying it.
This Was Not a Case of Sloppy Writing, It Was Carefully Crafted to Sow Fear.
Project Veritas has recently exposed CNN for using fear to attract viewers. It is a shameful technique used widely in media and politics. Your local ‘news’ paper [Laconia Daily Sun] uses it more than you may realize.
“The Real Action Was Taking Place at the State Level, Right under the Republican Party’s Noses”
“The truth is, the Democrats were caught with their pants down in 2016, immediately vowed to never let it happen again, and then set about their four-year task of battlespace preparation.”
More Sleight-of-Hand by Democrats and the Media
Most conservatives are utterly bewildered by the national apathy toward the ongoing border crisis. They wonder why more Americans aren’t outraged by the onslaught of unscreened aliens illegally flooding across our border, or by an American President who ignores our immigration laws, who is unilaterally dismantling our border controls. Only a very small number of … Read more
“This is a terrorist Attack against the LGBT community,” – Okay, Francis, But the Perp is a Gay Man
We have another classic hyperbolic reaction from the Left. Some guy in a truck runs down two gay men at a pride event, and it has to be some hate-motivated knuckle-dragging Jesus-loving, right-wing bigot. You can ask the mayor and some in the media, but if you ask the driver of the vehicle, different story.
Sunday Overnight Thread – 71% of Democrats Don’t Want to Go Back to Normal Edition
Normal, whatever that is, seems distant and impossible, even with the masks coming off. But someone seems to think there’s a place like what was before and that we can get there from here. Most of us know better. That appearances are not the same thing.
Celebrity Pushes Back on ‘Cultural Appropriation,’ Feminism, And the Media Bully Culture
It’s nice to see celebrities push back on the bully culture. The silence is [violence] cranks who insist you have to express an opinion on everything (theirs) or they’ll decide for you. Well, this celebrity is pushing back, and in the nicest way.
Woo Han Flew
The evolution of acceptable thought on the left is a thing to behold. What was verboten a few months ago becomes possible, then probable, then likely. Take the Wuhan lab. Before the year ends, it may be fashionable to accept that SARS Cov2 originated there.
Media Suffering From ‘Post Trump Stress Disorder’ – Nothing ‘Interesting’ to Cover
Talk about a sad testament to the elevation of Whoever is Running the Biden Administration (WRBA). The palace guards can’t find anything interesting to report now that The Donald is citizen Trump.
Do Shootings Always Rise To Meet Proposed Gun Control Measures Meant to Prevent Them?
Anthony Daniels, writing as Theodore Dalrymple, is responsible for one of my favorite quotes, paraphrased. ‘Need will always rise to meet the government services available to relieve it.’ So, it seems will the number of mass shootings needed to justify confiscatory gun laws.
The Elusive Mr. Biden
Joe Biden is a man who’s spent nearly 50 years in public office, but as president, he’s suddenly become quiet and elusive, a man of few words.
Promoted From the Comments- The Left Has Ruined Formerly Trusted Institutions
The Left has ruined formerly trusted institutions and where there is no Trust, there is no Society. From Steve’s post “WashPo – By the Way, That Story We Wrote About Trump Was a Lie“, Commenter Bryan W wrote:
How Did Five Different News Outlets “Independently” Source The Same Lie about Trump and the Nov. Election?
Hats off to Matt Margolis at PJ Media from whose text I lifted my headline because it says it all. Yesterday we reminded you that WashPO made up the story about President Trump pressuring the Michigan Secretary of State. The same is true for the Georgia story.
Armed Insurrection? FBI Says There Were No Firearms Confiscated From the Capitol Riot.
An FBI official investigating the events of Jan. 6 at the Capitol gave testimony before the Senate. There were no firearms confiscations that day. So what about that “armed insurrection” narrative we have listened to it for two months from all the Democrats and the establishment media?
NH State Run Media Forced to Cover the Windham Election Incident
New Hampshire’s State-Run ABC affiliate is WMUR. They dutifully cover the stories they are supposed to and ignore the ones they are not. When forced to cover local issues with national themes they’ve been commanded to ignore, they can be relied on to be dismissive or just get it wrong.
Remembering Rush Limbaugh … Mentioned My Name on The Air – And Something Much More Important
The left is having spasms of glee over the passing of Rush Limbaugh. That is reason enough to miss the man and his contribution to the debate. He was a singularly unique individual with whom I have a very small (tiny sliver of a) connection. He once mentioned my name on the air.
