It is Mother’s Day and I and the WP Sisters took the WP Mother out for lunch at one of our favorite eateries here in town to celebrate our Mom.
I am also one week closer to getting the Official Weekend Pundit Lake Winnipesaukee Runabout out of storage so it can be prepped for launching.

I agree wholeheartedly with this, and it’s something that needs to be repeated across the nation.
A BIGGER PAYCHECK THAN HE COULD HAVE GOTTEN IN SOME SERVICE INDUSTRY, TOO
Seeing how BeezleBub worked a hard job farming from the time he was 13, how it showed him that hard work is something that needs to be done, is something that helped make him the man he is today. He now owns his own side business and between that and his regular job he has earned enough to buy his own home.
He’s not the only one who has learned that lesson.

One of the WP sisters showed me this campaign ad from Mike Minogue, a Republican running for governor in Massachusetts.
Frankly, I think it is a great ad.

Is this really a surprise to anyone who’s been paying attention over the past four decades or so?
DOJ Concludes UCLA Med School Racially Discriminated In Admissions Process
An investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ) has found that certain admissions practices at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) constituted racial discrimination. The DOJ announced the findings of the year-long investigation via a press release on Wednesday.It seems yet another California institution has to learn the lesson the hard way that you do not fight racism by being racist. I have to wonder how long it will be before the Left comes to understand that truth. Or will they hold on their ideological belief that the only way to make up for past discrimination is to discriminate against those whose ancestors may (or may not) have discriminated against them?
Among the specific ways the medical school discriminated, the DOJ said that leadership adhered to the “dubious contention that patients receive the best care when treated by a doctor of the same race, rather than by the most qualified.”
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon accused the school of focusing on “racial politics” rather than training excellent doctors.
“UCLA’s admissions process has been focused on racial demographics at the expense of merit and excellence — allowing racial politics to distract the school from the vital work of training great doctors,” stated Dhillon.
“Racism in admissions is both illegal and anti-American, and this Department will not allow it to continue.”
And the madness continues.

I had to read this three times before I could comprehend it.
Houston Chronicle Publishes Non-alarmist Climate Op-ed
How did this get published? Someone must have slipped up.
Robert Bradley managed to get a climate op-ed published in the Chronicle after more than decade of being an unperson as far as the Houston Chronicle was concerned, his op-eds banned. From the time Trump was elected to his first term Bradley was banned because he refused to toe the “We’re=All-Gonna-DIE-Because-Of-Climate-Change” line. Actual science, data, and evidence were not welcome.
But things have changed.
My Houston Chronicle op-ed came out in the Print edition last Sunday. This breaks a decade-plus-long drought when the Progressive Left Chronicle ignored my submissions. A new editor with a more inclusive editorial policy (thank you Trump Nation), Evan Mintz, reached out to me after seeing my MasterResource posts critical of the paper’s bias and my documentation of the conflicted business editorialist Chris Tomlison. In any case, I was published online and in print.There may be some hope for the MSM yet.
As the saying goes, Read The Whole Thing.

And that’s the news from Lake Winnipesaukee, where the weather is being weird, more boats are being seen on the lake every day, and where yet again Monday is harshing our weekend!
