Maine missed the message, but that’s okay; it probably can’t get there from here. Americans, including some who live in blue states, are rejecting rank choice voting. I know, they call it ranked, but I call it rank, because it stinks. I know that because lots of Democrats want it, which means it is bad … Read more
Regular readers have likely heard about the grant to OUTnewcomers in Boston. News spread faster than a wildfire set by a California homeless person. Not nearly as much damage, but all parties have returned to their respective corners after throwing contradicting narratives. OUTnewcomers claims to be a pro-LGBTQ+ Migrants advocacy group. If you are new … Read more
Some countries, eighty-five of them if you believe the reporting, are trying to create a climate confab cabal outside the UN’s failed COP process, and why not? COP 30 was a disaster, and how are they all supposed to tap into the trillions in wasted “climate money” if they can’t all agree on pointless targets … Read more

Woke Nation States are the second most dangerous when it comes to rights, but especially the right to self-defense (personal firearms), which is why people towing lefty propaganda are such a ‘make me laugh, make me want to cry’ conundrum. The most dangerous are socialist/communist states, of course. No rights, not even the ones the … Read more
Eric Swalwell’s political career is over, but his career in “politics” doesn’t have to be, especially if he takes a cue from Hillary Clinton. The hildabeast is alleged to have promised to take everyone with her if she goes down for anything. That hasn’t happened yet, and her advancing years are as much a shield … Read more
Not much surprises anymore, which is not as bad as it seems. It is not that I can’t find wonder, amazement, joy, or disdain in the crossing of Rubicons; it just doesn’t change my blood pressure. Not at all. Oh, look, an Investigation revealed internal evidence that HHS “hired Lukos LLC, a private firm, to … Read more
San Francisco was a gay mecca before gay marriage was even a thing, and way before LGBT culture invaded every television program, ad, play, sidewalk, and public school. It’s literally everywhere and impossible to avoid unless you live in a Muslim American Enclave or an Arab majority nation. TO be clear, most Americans couldn’t care … Read more

Renewable energy, so-called because it attempts to capture natural resources and convert them into electricity, is neither cheap, scalable, nor climate-friendly. They will never be affordable because the material needed to make them isn’t, and the decommission costs are ugly, both economically and environmentally. Renewable portfolios force generators to include them in the mix, driving … Read more
The New Hampshire School Boards Association (NHSBA), the notorious creator of numerous combative and corrosive anti-parent policies often adopted by school districts across New Hampshire, recently held a presentation. To summarize, it is the board’s position (not so much policy) that school board members abrogate their First Amendment Rights so that parents and taxpayers don’t … Read more
Minnesota Democrats are making life unaffordable for everyone in the State, it seems, unless you open a learning center. But even that gig has come under fire as Federal fraud investigations look for the nine billion that disappeared up Minnesota’s skirt while Tim Walz was gushing over how great China is, and we know why? … Read more

This coming Wednesday, I will publish the 150th installment of the Morning Update. I started it on September 18th, 2025, on a whim, and a strong personal and professional need to 1) get better at doing off-the-cuff video shots, and 2) to increase our presence in the space. I opened with, ” Don’t get used … Read more
Thanks to AI and people with nothing better to do, it has become virtually impossible to believe anything you see on the internet. I don’t think that’s a bad thing. The response to COVID led tens of millions of people to adopt a healthy distrust of experts and the politicians (few of whom are good … Read more
When RFKJ fired the entire ACIP panel, all 17 so-called independent “experts,” the Left lost its mind. When RFKJ replaced them with different experts (the wrong kind), the hive mind didn’t like that either; they lost some more (what little they had to spare), found some lawyers, sued, and got a judge to say RFKJ … Read more
The Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy has been kind enough to allow us to share its content for more than a decade when it interests us. We may not always agree, but that is not a barrier to sharing it. The point is to debate and to occasionally bend conservatarian light to shine on … Read more
Once Again Progressives Deliver The Opposite of What They Advertise
Thanks to Dan McGuire for the heads up. The Brave Browser problem has corrected itself. Brave users will no longer get caught in a Cloudflare doom loop that ends with a Wordfence 404 (too many page-not-found errors for a human) block. We’ve been working both sides of this off and on for over two months. … Read more
