One of the local podcasts we’re thinking of sharing is A. J. Kierstead’s The New England Take. It has decent production values and good sound and offers a lot of local and Concord-centric content, with and without guests.

Evidence Suggests That Children Who Get No Vaccines … Have Better Health Outcomes
Prior to the Trojan Horse event that we politely refer to as the COVID era, vaccine hesitancy was a fringe issue. Citizens who objected to the forced vaccination of children were kooks or extremists, and even those demanding more informed consent got the side-eye from even more liberty-minded Americans. The mRNA injections changed that.
Is Brazil’s War on Speech a ‘Test’ by US and UK Censorship Assets?
Columbia is famous for its coffee, and Brazil is renowned for its censorship. At least it is now. And while censorship in some form is not uncommon anywhere in the world, recent events in Brazil, led by Superior Electoral Court (TSE) Justice Alexandre de Moraes, have opened a whole new door.
Night Cap: Mutant Strain of Monkey Pox “Discovered” Just In Time for Pride Season
Monkey Pox is back in the news, just in time for the parade of international Pride Festivals that helped spread it to over 100 countries in 2022. It is also not just Monkey Pox (And yes, we should be surprised they even called it that). It is a mutant strain with pandemic potential.
From Boiling Oceans™ to Bleaching Corals™ – How About Some Actual Science
The Climate Cult echo chamber is full voice after the BBC published a misleading bit of global terrorism this week titled “Coral bleaching: Fourth global mass stress episode underway – US scientists.”
Could Trump Win Massachusetts in November?
The Democrats must have an oversized amount of whatever passes for faith in their ability to “win” in November because their open-door illegal alien invasion policy is so well past pissing off their own base that Trump winning Massachusetts has to be a consideration.
Night Cap: From Inherited Peace to Another War in the Middle East
Victor David Hanson is a smart guy. A historian, he pays attention to past and present and seems to be neither a deep-state neocon nor some feckless progressive academic interested in politics before facts or science.
While Maine Works to Protect Child Traffickers, Tennessee Moves to Punish Them
LD227 would permit the state of Maine to hold those in other states liable for violating it; violating what? The law allows human trafficking and protects adults from charges of kidnapping and transporting minors across state lines for gender surgeries. Tennessee pushed back, but not just against the unconstitutionality of LD227.
They Made an Environmental Law So Huge No One Knows How to “Lift It”
George Carlin used to tell jokes about his time in Catholic school and his smart-ass interactions with The Church, like asking a priest if God is so powerful that he can create a rock so large that he himself can’t lift it. A similar situation has arisen closer to Earth. Vermont close.
“Ban Weekend Driving To Meet ‘Climate Goals'” Was Not The Dumbest Thing Said by The German Government, Last Week
Germany, like Vermont, has some problems. They are both scrambling to meet arbitrary and unnecessary emissions targets. Stop laughing; they think this is serious. And like Vermont, Germany has unworkable laws with rules to get there from here, because the world might end if they can’t agree on how to massage or cheat them.
Neil Johnson (Lumberjack Logic Show) Exposing Corruption in New Hampshire
I was planning to wait for the site refresh to be completed to reboot the podcast page (GrokTV) with just podcasts, but Ken Eyring and Tom Murray just sent me an interview with our own Laurie Ortolano on government corruption (guess where!).
Is It Drought Season Yet?
Water, water everywhere, but get ready for odd, even watering bans. Yes, spring has sprung like a stripper from a giant cake as the whores in government line up to spring regulatory speed bumps at our summertime fun. Will water bans be part of it? Is the Pope a Marxist?
Resource Conservation … Leads to Price Hikes
One of the golden rules of dealing with proglodytes is that if it’s something you need or enjoy, they try to make it more expensive so you’ll have or use less of it. This manifests as sin taxes or, in the case of things like water or energy, they use fear as a policy to drive up costs, forcing you to use less.
Maine Follows Vermont Down Another Disarmament Rabbit Hole
State Governments top heavy with progressive thinkers have been looking for excuses to pass laws banning “militias.” Vermont, to my geographic and ideological left, used a gun range with a few unpermitted buildings to ban Militias statewide, and Vermont only exists because of a militia. Maine just followed suit.

100 Years of Being Treated Like George Floyd, For What?
One thing that did not get defunded after the George Floyd/BLM Summer of Love was cop shows. There is no shortage of police or detective dramas extolling the intellectual agility of some quirky investigator with a physical or social disability. Or a team of racially and sexually diverse members who adroitly unravel complex conspiracies ripe … Read more
Obesity: Eating Less is Out – Drugs and Surgery Are In
There are a handful of systemic barriers to maintaining a healthy weight, but most involve cramming more food into your face than your system can handle. From to much food to food that’s bad for you, less of that is not a bad idea no matter what you weigh, but some public health experts are pushing in the other direction.
Dover, New Hampshire Calls for Cease Fire in Gaza
Night Cap: If You Needed More Proof That San Francisco is Run by Idiots …
Large US Cities have been plagued by a host of problems I’ve repeatedly proven can be solved if residents stop voting for Democrats. Crime, homelessness, systemic mismanagement, and, lately, a rise in business closures and departures are all directly connected to government policy decisions.
To Alissandra Murray and Everyone Else in Office Blocking People on Social Media …
Manchester NH House Rep/Lobbyist Alissandra Murray has occasionally attracted the attention of our authors and commenters. Last week, she is reported to have used the block feature on her X account, which is as good a time as any to revisit this.
