One of my favorite Dalrymple quotes is (paraphrased) that misery will always rise to meet the government subsidies created to alleviate it. And so it is with residential solar. The number of installs near my home has exploded, as has another interesting habit.

Carbon Scams on Fire!
Electric vehicles cost more to insure. Minor accidents can result in damage that makes the vehicle unsafe or unrepairable. A parking lot fender bender could “total” your so-called green vehicle. But that’s not the only insurance cost driving up the price of EV ownership.
How Charles Darwin (Probably) Destroyed the Traditional Family
I came across a fascinating book review this week. The book is “The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes” by Nancy Pearcey. It is loaded with insight, some of which you may have seen. The debunked point about Christian men being demeaning toward women comes from Pearcey’s research.
Florida Once Again Leads on Medical Freedom and Where is New Hampshire?
The Machine is revving up its flumongering again with warnings about “rapidly” mutating variants that put vaccinated and unvaccinated alike at risk for “serious disease,” maybe, kind of – so we’d better assume the worst. How about no, get lost, f**k off. How about that?
Beware: COVID-19 is Lurking Behind the Commies Hiding in Your Bushes (and Your Sewage)
The machine is working overtime to get the weak-minded wound up about the new strains of COVID when the genuine concern is recent mutations of the COVID narrative. Things are getting McCarthyesqe out there; COVID could lurk almost anywhere, waiting to take advantage of you, vaccinated or not.
Paper Straws Require More Energy and Carbon Emissions to Make Than Plastic and …
I’ve been doing some day trips that land me in or near Portsmouth, New Hampshire’s mecca for poorly thought-out anti-plastic policy. From ‘shopping bags‘ to paperboard containers, their war on plastic is relentless, even when those replacements are worse for the environment.
Maui Sues Hawaiian Electric for Negligence Leading to Lahaina Fire When it Should Probably Sue Itself
Folks who have dug in on the idea that Lahahia was leveled as part of a Directed Energy Weapon test or attack will see this as misdirection, but so will the Climate Cult Global Warming wildfire crowd. Maui County has sued The Hawaiian Electric Company for negligence.
Hurricane Season has Arrived! Tropical Depression Expected to Make US Landfall as a Hurricane.
Hurricane Hilary, doing business as a tropical storm, gave Southern California and Arizona much-needed rain. Yes, they had a lot of winter runoff, but they are terrible at managing it, so more is usually better.
Progressive Governing 101: If You Make Life Miserable People Will Volunteer to Kill Themselves
A government that thinks there are too many of us, that we are some sort of burden, and encourages medically assisted suicide will always make its citizens suicidal and then pretend it is a kindness to kill them.
CDC: New Variants May Cause Infection Among Vaccinated – (No, Kidding?)
The CDC has decided to formally announce that the vaccines you got that weren’t safe or effective against older variants of SARS-CoV2-WIV may not protect you from newer strains. Or is it that your declining obedience to the approved public health fascism will not be tolerated?
How about The ‘Health Benefits’ of Less Government?
Did you know that Joe Biden has a health Czar? His name is Dr. George Koob, and he’s doing a terrible job. Joe is a frikkin’ wreck. Wait, my bad. Koob’s gig isn’t Health Czarin’ Biden; it is the rest of us (I thought that was the Surgeon General’s Job?).
Is Chris Sununu Pressuring Sec-o-State David Scanlan to Block Trump from NH’s Primary Ballot? [Update]
Governor Sununu has an on-and-off relationship with constitutional limitations on his power. When he feels the urge to invoke them, it’s a speed-dial booty call, but when they get in his way, he kicks them to the curb (without cab fare). And he’d do anything to stop Donald Trump from getting the nomination.
Harvard Grad Students Are Eligible for SNAP?
It’s wicked expensive living near or around the City of Boston, so what are poor Harvard Grad Students to do when an institution with a 53 billion dollar endowment leaves them to fend for themselves? The cure is to sign them up for SNAP, the federal food assistance program.
You Haven’t Decarbonized a Damn Thing
Vermont Public is playing with words again. A recent piece titled, “Vermont farmers say they need more gov’t help as climate change causes more extreme weather,” almost sounds like Vermont Farmers are saying they need help because of climate change.
Vermont’s Energy Burden Report is .. Well, Burdensome
Vermont is a wink and a nod away from erecting statues of Lenin and Trotsky next to the Marx Museum of Modern Democrat Socialism. It’s just down and to the Left on Engles Ave. The place is loony with leftism. So this report about energy burden is a real hoot.
Voting is Bad for Democracy
A White Tower stooge has published an article in the New York Times suggesting that America might be better off if it bailed on the popular vote. Given the recent trajectory, who could blame anyone for thinking that?
Sununu, Who Would Not Debate Republican Challengers in 2020 or 2022, Criticizes Trump for Dodging a Debate
Governor Chris Sununu is criticizing President Trump for not showing up at the first Republican Primary Debate last night. That’s a strange thing to say, considering he has refused Republican primary debates in his last two gubernatorial elections.
Oliver Anthony – New Song: “Brink of War”
Oliver Anthoy’s online viral success must be driving the progressive elites out of their collective mind. Some hick ginger singing about rich men and sh!t wages and how the system doesn’t give a damn about what it’s doing to regular folks. They thought that was their message.
Karen Covidiot Has Returned and They/Them are Coming to Mask You
As you ponder why they expect you to get “vaccines” for fast-mutating COVID variants that will make them as equally ineffective as previous “strains” of vaccine, Karen Covidiot is also raising the specter of mandatory back-to-school masking.
If You Are Watching the First Republican Debate …
I’d rather eat glass than sit through a debate, so I won’t be providing cutting-edge commentary on tonight’s circus. I will, however, be happy to post your thoughts and comments if you send them to me.
