This is not new, but it is still amusing and enlightening. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, in 2017, took a few minutes before a daily White House press briefing to tell a story that explains how our tax system works. For her example, she used reporters and beer.

Now That Chris Christie Has Dropped Out …
Chris Crispy-Creme-Christie has left the building. He’s done. Finished. Fini. No longer will he run for President. He’s still running (to be Nikki Haley’s AG if you are familiar with my presidential campaign conspiracy theory), and he still has campaign money to burn. And he’ll do almost anything to stop Mr. Trump.
King Arthur Flour Promotes Bakers of Color (No Whites) and I’m Having a Hard Time Getting Bent About That
The latest meter-pinging corporate outrage has landed. Vermont’s King Arthur Baking Company has announced an initiative to help small business owners of color. “Baking Pitchfest 2024” includes a baking contest and incentives for contest winners.
Outlawing Diversity Offices on State College Campuses Won’t End DEI
This is another example of that fifty-state laboratory business. The notion is that each state can try a thing, and when they work or fail, other states can learn from that. With the Blue States, failure is the goal, and it is what they emulate. Red states, on the other hand.
White House Says It Now Expects Cabinet to Notify Them If They “Can’t Do Their Job” – Are They Trying to Be Funny?
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin “took a week off” without anyone noticing, so the White House is running damage control. How could the Secretary of Defense disappear for a week? Because, like the White House, he’s not running it?
Vermont Surpasses 2022, With 27 Homicides in 2023
With all this talk about common sense manifesting as legislation and law, you’d think Vermont would have gotten a handle on its rising homicide rate. Last year, they had 25, unprecedented for that tiny state in our big modern era, but a few more progressive laws later, and it’s up to 27 in 2023.
ESPN Cuts Away to Protect You From Young Patriotic American Athletes Proudly Singing the National Anthem
The United States team won gold at the World Junior Hockey Championships in Sweden. The lads were very excited, smiling and singing as the national anthem played in honor of their victory. If you watched it on ESPN you’d have never known they were proud to be American.
Breaking: Attorney General Tells Democrat National Committee to Stop Violating NH Election Law!
The Democrat National Committee (DNC) is pissed at New Hampshire Democrats. The locals have been acting like votes Democrats cast on our Jan 23rd primary will mean something. The DNC has demanded they stop and the manner in which they’ve done that violates the state’s voter suppression law.
Information Fascism: Politically Correct Means “Politically Corrected”
A lot of things happened as a result of the pandemic. The most critical thing in my mind was how the world was divided. Not by race, religion, age, sex, occupation, or party registration – despite many demographics working to divide us into tribal groups. There was a rise in global awareness of us versus them.
Our First “Comment” of the Week Winner!
Let me begin by saying this was not easy. There were many excellent comments on a wide range of topics across nearly every piece of content we published last week. But as they say in the Movie Highlander. There can be only one.
US Boxing Makes ‘Wife Beating’ A Professional Sport
Having spent time with former police, I’ve heard my share of stories about ‘domestics.’ Fights between cohabitating partners if you prefer. I’m also familiar with recovering angry drunks who were abusive – my mom spent her life helping alcoholics in recovery. People hit each other, and some men hit women.
New Mexico’s AG Investigates META for Allowing Child Grooming and Trafficking … But Not Its Public Schools?
New Mexico’s Attorney General, Raúl Torrez, has filed a lawsuit. In the suit, “Torrez claims that Meta’s platforms, Facebook and Instagram, are a breeding ground for predators who target children for human trafficking, the distribution of sexual images, grooming, and solicitation.”
Concord Mosque President Sues to Stop Adjacent Housing Development … Is it NIMBY or Something Else?
Concord has a new City Councilor named Ali Sekou. Congrats to him. He is also the president of the IQRA Islamic Society of Greater Concord. His Mosque sits on a piece of property adjacent to the First Congregational Church at 177 N. Main St, in whose lot (some) his Mosque attendees are alleged to have parked.
Where the United Nations (sort of) Admits … It Is a Disaster
The thought-police wordsmiths over at the United Nations have been busy working on the correct vocabulary when commenting on a wide range of things, including events for which Human beings were ill-prepared.
Licensing Cartels and the Constitutional Right to Use “Math” in Public
New Hampshire’s licensing cartels are a thing of legend for folks who’ve been around long enough to read about them, but most folks won’t realize it until a lack of a license interferes with their day-to-day. Things have improved, are improving, but the cartels who control occupations are “out there, Jimmy.”
“DEI is Racist”
Pershing Square CEO Bill Ackerman took to X to share some thoughts, not just about Harvard, anti-semitism, racism, and anti-racism, but a deep-dive analysis of DEI, the appointment of Claudine Gay as President, and inside baseball at Harvard, which he suggests should result in its full board tendering their resignations.
ICYMI – Bi-Partisan NH House Vote Bans Transition Surgery for Minors [Update!]
You’ll likely have heard the latest shot ’round the world. But, if not, a Democrat legislator in the New Hampshire House, speaking to his fellow members, said that while he supports transgender people, he could not condone surgical intervention on children.
Gun Control Group Can’t Control Itself – Breaks Multiple Laws It Advocated
Most of the groups and members of groups who hate or fear firearms are clueless about them. They’ve never fired one, carried one, or paid a moment’s attention to the detrimental side effects that follow the laws they advocate. Oh, and sometimes – if you are these idiots – you break the laws you demanded.
DeSantis And Florida Took the Janus Decision to Its Next Logical Step
Teacher’s Unions are sinister private entities whose only concern is how much money they can make and how best to use that to impact politics at every level of government. Sure, Janus v. AFSCME was a great decision, but the war against public employee unions continues, and Ron DeSantis is leading that fight.
The First 86 Names Linked to Ghislane Maxwell Trial Doc Dump
When these documents were pried (rhetorically) from Jeffy Epstein’s dead hands – or, more accurately, stemming from Virginia Giuffre’s lawsuit against short-term New Hampshire property owner Ghislaine Maxwell – the names on that alleged list were not easy to find.
