“It’s not about what the day brings, it’s what you bring to the day.”
An ad on one of the streaming services featured a woman who won (I think it was) the Boston Marathon twice*. She’s up in years but still pushing herself every day. She has a great quote in the ad that I wanted to share, and I’m paraphrasing.
City Alderman Compares (Not) Wearing a Mask to Drunk Driving

Constitution Day Talk
I originally meant to present the following talk at a Constitution Day celebration. Unfortunately, I came down with COVID-19, and was unable to attend. But several people have asked me what I had planned to say. So here it is:
So, who made YOU the Grand-PoohBa of “Responsible Digital Citizenship”, Superintendent Kirk Beitler?
Yes, he’s back from his leave. And he’s taking a rip against “misinformation”, fear, and feelings. Right. He wants to be the Grand Arbiter of what is “responsible digital citizenship” yet he’s all in on Coerced Speech when it comes to enforcing that the rest of us must allow our speech to be coerced when … Read more
Do These People Even Read the Laws They Write?
Not so long ago, the legislature passed, and the governor signed into law, a bill that says:

Call To Action: Second Amendment Bills and Some Republican State Senators Need Some “Nudging” for Tuesday
I got an email from a friend of mine reminding me that there are a few Second Amendment bills that are coming up on Tuesday for “Executive Session” (meaning the Committee will vote them Ought to Pass or Inexpedient to Legislate (send to the whole House or kill it now). They’ve been sitting on the … Read more
A King’s Heavy Hand
“Take the shot or STARVE TO DEATH!” It comes to us from the moral high ground of the Left, or what passes “the obey or else” Marxist philosophy popular in DC these days.
What is Freedom?
It’s the Fourth of July. The day Americans celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Each and every word in that sacred document was given great thought before it was written and enshrined by our Founding Fathers.
Gilford School Board – 6/8/21 Masks, Dillon’s Rule State, Policy JBAB, Powers, Rights
Last Tuesday was the latest Gilford School Board Meeting. While it wasn’t quite as contentious as what has been happening elsewhere in NH lately, I’d like to think that I’m trying to point out that School Board members aren’t doing their due diligence from a Legal / Policy standpoint.
Lying to Parents – Superintendent’s Response is Sheer Laziness – Beitler restarts “the pattern”
A bit of a recap here: The Gilford School Board, in its Policy JBAB, codifies Lying to Parents, either by commission or omission, when it comes to their children relative to their gender dysphoria/transgenderism. It has declared that, in this Dillon’s Rule state, that it has such power to grant a new Right to an Individual.
My Rights Don’t Stop at Your Fears, My Rights Trump Your Fears.
A pressing question from Kyle Smith: “At what point do we decide that enough people have been vaxxed that pandemic restrictions should be tailored to them rather than to the unvaccinated?”
A Peaceful Declaration of Rights by the Free People of the World
I. When in the Course of human events and affairs it becomes evident that otherwise well-intentioned people have become unaware and/ or insensitive to the pains, injuries, and suffering they are inflicting on their fellow Natural Persons,
Data Point – Faces of Mass Murderers
We hear a lot lately in the political world that Whites are THE source of domestic terrorism and by reclassifying of the grocery shooter, Al Aliwi Alissa (the refugee from Syria) as White, they continue the Narrative. Problem is, as you can see above, the actual 2019 Data above blows up the Narrative. And so … Read more

The Radical Egalitarians And Their Rival Constitution
The U.S. Constitution, the one the founders wrote, holds that all men are created equal. We are endowed by our “nature and nature’s God” with unalienable rights. Those rights precede government. Further, the purpose of the state is to protect those rights and to treat all citizens equally.
