Chicago Dyke March Deploys Anti-Semitic Term Popularized by Neo-Nazis

Last month, the Chicago Dyke March, a far-left alternative to the city’s main Pride parade, expelled several Jewish lesbians for carrying Jewish pride flags emblazoned with a Star of David. You can find links to the victims’ accounts and the reasons this discrimination was anti-Semitic here. At the time, the Dyke March’s officials claimed they were merely being “anti-Zionist” in expunging those brandishing Jewish stars, disingenuously conflating the ancient Jewish symbol with the modern Jewish state.

But if any doubt remained as to the true intentions of the March, they should be dispelled by its official Twitter feed, which went full white nationalist last night. | More…

Is N.H.’s Craft Beer Hype Actually Brewing Big Business?

If you’ve visited the grocery store beer aisle lately, you might have noticed a growing number of beer options, many of them brewed right here in New Hampshire.

These hoppy IPAs, porters, and session ales are all part of the craft beer movement.

As part of Only in New Hampshirea continuing series in which we answer your questions about the Granite State, I tackled this one from Concord’s Benjamin Kramer:

“Is the craft beer hype in New Hampshire actually generating business? Is there factual, significant growth?” | More…

Border Patrol union president says morale at 20-year high under Trump

The union president said that agents have a new “energy” to them due to a concrete commitment to enforcing existing federal laws.

“There’s a vibe, there’s an energy in the Border Patrol that’s never been there before,” Mr. Judd told host Steve Doocy. “In the 20 years I’ve been in the patrol, we haven’t seen this type of energy, and we’re excited because we signed up to do a job and this president is allowing us to do that job. | More…

New Hampshire Raises the Ante for Wealth Protection

You have to scroll about halfway down to get the bit about New Hampshire…

While charitable foundations are widely-used in the US, they were not allowed for business purposes like the offshore foundations.

The foundation in international planning is a favored entity for coordinating and protecting cross-bordered family or other closely held business interests.

Playing a bit of catch-up in garnering a reputation as a player, New Hampshire boldly enters the fray by enacting its Foundation Act.

The first state to do so. | More…

The One Sentence That Explains Washington Dysfunction

The other day Senator Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania explained why Republicans are having such trouble with health care. Speaking at a town hall during the July 4 recess, Toomey said, “I didn’t expect Donald Trump to win. I think most of my colleagues didn’t. So we didn’t expect to be in this situation.”

No kidding. I too can report that, from June 16, 2015, to November 8, 2016, the feeling among the elected officials, party functionaries, consultants, strategists, and journalists in our nation’s capital was that Donald J. Trump stood no chance of becoming president of the United States. And because the political elite held this view with such self-assurance, with all the egotism and snobbery and moral puffery and snarkiness that distinguishes itself as a class, it did not spend more than a second, if that, thinking through the possible consequences of a Trump victory. | More…

Snowflakes Triggering Snowflakes Triggering Snowflakes

A professional snowflake admits to having to self-censor her own speech to avoid triggering other snowflakes, among other things. A circumstance ripe with opportunity.

 I self-police what I say in activist spaces. I stopped commenting on social media with questions or pushback on leftist opinions for fear of being called out. I am always ready to apologize for anything I do that a community member deems wrong, oppressive, or inappropriate—no questions asked. The amount of energy I spend demonstrating purity in order to stay in the good graces of a fast-moving activist community is enormous. | More…

Fake Obama created using AI tool to make phoney speeches

So they reinvented the Teleprompter?

Researchers at the University of Washington have produced a photorealistic former US President Barack Obama.
