Today in our series of Pintastic NE 2023 videos I bring you Mike from the Pinball Co-Op out of Vermont who had one of the Club Rooms at Pintastic:

Maybe it’s just me but the number of Pinball clubs in the area seems to be increasing. This is a great thing for those folks who either can’t afford a machine to buy or rent or have no room to permanently have a Pinball machine in the house.

Pintastic NE 2023 The story so far….

Progressives are hell bent on destroying childhood

Posted: September 14, 2023 by Jon Fournier in Uncategorized

It is an understatement to say that the policies crammed down the throats of the American people by radical leftists are harmful to children.  Most unfortunately, these self-titled progressives are in control of the Democrat Party, the news media, academia, the entire educational system, Hollywood, and most major corporations. 

Childhood used to be a time of joy for the vast majority of children here in the United States.  It was a time of innocence.  Children spent most of their time playing when they were not in school.  As you can see from this article, Alabama 6-Year-Old Suspended for Using ‘Finger Guns’ During Cops and Robbers Game | The Epoch Times (archive.vn), kids cannot even play their favorite games anymore.

According to the letter, on Sept. 1, 2023, two boys were playing “cops and robbers” during recess at Bagley Elementary School.

“During the course of their play, the children reportedly extended their index fingers and thumbs and said ‘bang-bang’ at each other,” the letter reads.

The child, identified as J.B., was suspended and accused of committing a Class III infraction. This is the district’s most serious infraction. According to the Jefferson County School District’s Student Parent Handbook, Class III infractions include possession of guns or explosives, sexual battery, battery of a school district employee, and robbery, among others.

Understandably, the child’s father was most upset.

“They labeled my six-year-old as a potentially violent and dangerous student because he was being a little boy and playing cops and robbers with another student (who was also suspended) and using his fingers like a gun,” Jarrod Belcher, the boy’s father, wrote in a statement released Friday, Sept. 8.

This was not an isolated incident.  Several times a year I’ve encountered similar instances.

Transgenderism is far more destructive to children than the disruption of play time.  A generation is being brainwashed into believing that gender is fluid and radical surgery is the cure for normal bouts of confusion.  This craze has reached peak insanity, California Passes Bill That Would Require Parents to Affirm Kid’s Gender (dailysignal.com)

The California State Assembly passed a bill Friday that would require judges in child custody cases to consider whether a parent has affirmed a child’s “gender transition” by making “gender affirmation” an equal part of a child’s “health, safety, and welfare” under state law.

Democratic lawmakers’ bill, AB 957, passed the Assembly by a vote of 57-16 along party lines.

Threatening the standard of “health, safety, and welfare” of a child under the California Family Code can carry penalties under the California Penal Code—prompting parents, activists, and lawmakers to speculate that AB 957 could result in parents being charged with child abuse or neglect for not participating in a child’s transgenderism. 

Libraries are being crammed full of sexually explicit books, in the name indoctrinating children with the LGBTQ agenda.   This is in sharp contrast to the way things have been done here in the United States where children have always been protected from sexually explicit material.  Any attempts to remove this inappropriate material from libraries is met with cries of book banning, as captured in this article:  You Can’t Slam ‘Book Bans’ And Turn A Blind Eye To The Content (thefederalist.com).

After a slight up tick in the number of Wuhan Flu cases, schools are bringing back mask mandates.  There is no doubt that masks are harmful to children.

The latest evidence comes from Speech and Language UK, which found one out of every five children in the United Kingdom are behind in basic speech. This is reportedly the “highest number of children with speech and language challenges ever recorded” in the UK, Sky News noted.

These issues I have mentioned in this article are just the very tip of the iceberg.  Those of us sane individuals far outnumber the radicals who are pushing all of this harmful crap on children.  Only recently have we begun to standup to this insanity and our recent attempts have been successful.  We need to do more.

The left is shocked SHOCKED that the House should open up an impeachment inquiry without a house vote.

This is of course how Trump was treated.

Once again the left acts and is shocked SHOCKED that the tables are turned.

Of course given the polling for Biden it might be a welcome development to ease him out.


It appears parts of the Susanna Gibson story are being suppressed on twitter.

But not the endorsement of the former democrat governor and her membership in mom’s demand action has not been suppressed. Of course given her side business her membership in “Mom’s Demand Action” gets an entirely new meaning.

Perhaps like Bill Clinton the left can put her up for mother of the year.


Apparently the St. Louis Children’s hospital has decided that due to a new Missouri law the risk / reward business of puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones to minors has shifted to the point where they now decline to do such things.

I suspect that as laws change and lawsuits progress this type of decision will be more common.

Alas the gravy train might have ended but there are still plenty of kids whose lives have been ruined to keep psychologists in clover for decades


The risk reward ratio however has also shifted in DC and New York at least for kids and crimes.

The decision not to go after juvenile crime has had rather nasty consequences, both in DC and NY for the citizens, but not yet to the point where it’s has had political consequences for those who have decided to go soft.

They have other priorities, unexpectedly of course.


Finally Mitt Romney has announced he will not run for re-election to the US senate thus avoiding an embarrassing loss for his senate seat in the primary.

I’ve never forgotten that Romney inaction as MA gov was instrumental in killing a state vote on gay marriage when the Massachusetts SC by one vote began the slippery slope that got us where we are, however he was also quietly active in the Scott Brown campaign which really launched the Tea Party as a successful group.

His despicable enabling of the left’s attempts to destroy Trump has caused many to say they regret their vote for him in 2012. I don’t regret mine in the least, because the alternative was Barack Obama whose third term under Joe Biden has been even worse than his first two.
