San Francisco and California have made themselves shining examples. Couldn’t happen to a better City and State. When you make yourselves unhealthy to live in from a financial standpoint, no amount of “Best weather in the US” (frankly, Hawai’i is better).

Notable Quote – “…of the Progressive Era were its greatest failures”
[Progressives of the 1930s] were determined that their vision of the managed economy should take precedence in all areas of life. Although they purported to have great sophistication on economic and social matters, their understanding of those matters was primitive, and their disdain for the evident signs of social improvement colored their vision of the … Read more
House Resolution: Remove NETFLIX Film, “Cuties,” – Ask DOJ to Investigate Potentially Illegal Content
After a number of constituents asked me to act on the recently released NETFLIX film, “Cuties,” I introduced a House Resolution calling on the Department of Justice to investigate the film.
Leftist Accountability and Control May Not Actually Exist
Let’s look at Leftist accountability and control. They want to regulate and control our lives. But how well do they do at keeping control of the purse strings?
Bruce Currie Joins Bernie Sanders Proving “Taxation is Theft” Really is a Thing – Part 1
I was hoping that our resident Bernie-Bro commenter, Bruce Currie, would rise to the bait – and indeed, he has. I’d direct you to the comment section where Bruce, even as he derides our “whataboutism” does exactly the same thing.
Replacing God with Government
Today’s attacks from the left are against two of America’s most essential values. Those values are faith and family. These two essential pillars serve as stabilizing factors in any society. The attacks on faith and family seem to be relentless.
Why is it That Gay Men Sexually Abusing Young Boys is only “Headline News” when the Gay Men Are Priests?
The dam appears near breaking on the institutional sexual abuse of children by rich and famous people. New Ghislaine Maxwell news’ has revealed that the FBI knew a lot for a long while and did nothing. That got me thinking about another particular scandal problem tied to the Institutional Left. Gay men and young boys.
What do you expect in cities run by Democrats forever?
Ms. Burke (July 17, The Daily Sun) is apparently laboring under the delusion that regular citizens, who chose to attend the Laconia rally while armed, somehow are siphoning funds from Wu-Flu testing. What can one say to that? I’ve got nothing.
Bend whatever / however is needed to push the Left Agenda forward – Commenter Observation
Commenter Allen left this as a comment on my “End the Panic Porn” – some good news about the Wu Flu” post. A bit off-topic but a great observation:
FB Doodlings – Treehugger wants to make the Dodge Durango Hellcat illegal
Which is par for the course as Lloyd hates all “fossil fuel” cars and barely tolerates electric ones. Being a “sustainability” professor, he does believe in stuffing us all into “cities” with “walkable” neighborhoods where you would work, shop, and play. Gotta move around? Walk it or bike it – or Public transportation. Small apartments … Read more
Independence Day – Observed
We just passed July 4th, what most people the world over consider American Independence Day. (That’s independence from the British Crown, for those currently in public school.)
If leftists get their way on eliminating police, we’ll be in hell
Innovative, well-thought-out leftist reasoning examined. Defund the Police: The positives would be the government saving billions every year. Consider how much tax money we allocate to recruit, train, equip, and supply our police forces. That wouldn’t be the only savings either.
Gracie Gato – Wants to do a Class Action lawsuit against “this blogger”? Heh!
So, this California transplant has decided that GraniteGrok needs to be slapped upside our legal head. All because we called out L’il Andru Volinsky for being a pandering, virtue-signaling #Maskhole. She’s a #Maskhole as well (good going, Karen) just the kind of person to keep as away from the Levers of Power as possible.
“I Used To Be A Normal Person”
As a man [or woman], I used to think I was pretty much just a regular person, but I was born white, into a two-parent household which now, whether I like it or not, makes me “Privileged”, a racist & responsible for slavery.
Quick Thought: caution to the rubes: it’s “assimilation”
Normally I’d title this under Notable Quote but hopefully a Quick Thought will do it: When you progressives say “public-private partnership,” we liberals hear “public-private conspiracy.” -Deidre McCloskey ( Why Liberalism Works: How True Liberal Values Produce a Freer, More Equal, Prosperous World for All) And she means “Classic Western Liberalism” when she says “liberals”. … Read more
Dartmouth Professor Compares #Reopen Protesters to Nazi Sympathizers
If you do not recall Professor Jeff Sharlet, back in January of 2019, he showered glory on Dartmouth College when he said, “I’ll have no problem with someone doxxing these boys.” He’s referring to the Covington High kids who got smeared by the media.
Eating Your Own: Some Social Justice Warriors Just Want to Bully Everyone
Some people just suck and some of them do it in the name of justice. Social Justice. That thing to which all of us and none of us belong. The Intellectual worldview where it is possible to simultaneously demand diversity (difference) and equality (sameness).
The problem isn’t Gun control, it is SELF-control
Again, the chasm between the Left and the Right on this issue is enormous. It can’t and won’t be solved until the root problem is finally admitted to, recognized, and acknowledged. But, I fear, it won’t because it really isn’t about Gun control as the Left is yammering.
Amy Klobuchar – Still Not a Moderate Candidate
Senator Amy Klobuchar is doing something right. By which I mean, narrative, messaging, and yes, deception. She is working hard to own the establishment lane and the banner of the moderate Democrat. But she’s not a moderate.
