The Birthright citizenship case was a bust. Roberts and Barrett couldn’t find a reason to support Trump’s EO, and while I don’t choose to agree with them, I’ll admit there’s plenty of room for interpretation that allows for their opinions. Read both sides before you snap a gasket. There is as much gray space for … Read more
Here’s an odd bit of fiscal news for you. New Hampshire is not known for its affordable access to health care, though that has been improving in recent years thanks to Republicans in the legislature and the corner office. I know something happened ot the Republican State Senate as summer approached, and they went sideways, … Read more
Nashua has around 90,000 people in it, give or take, making it the second largest collection of people in a municipality in the state of New Hampshire. As of June 2026, 46,917 of them are registered to vote. As you’d expect, Dems have a registration advantage, but something has happened since 2024. Based on data … Read more

This might sound a bit odd, weird, hypocritical even, but the people who used Natural Selection as an excuse to socially engineer their nations are uppity about adaptation. The entire Climate craziness on the left is a decades-long effort to undermine their own obsession. Nature, not God. But when nature does something wholly predictable, like … Read more
Last year I did what I like to do. When everyone on both sides of the aisle was ranting about New Hampshire’s homeless rate rising 52.1%, I dragged out the numbers because context matters. Yes, it “doubled.” From 1172 to 2441, people who reported or self-reported as “unhoused” for at least one night. One night. … Read more

If you’ve never read The Man in the High Castle, you can, but (IMO) the Television series based on it is better. The story tells the tale of an alternate 60s-era reality in which the Axis won World War II, and America is divided between Germany and Japan. I barely recall the book, which is … Read more
If you missed it, soon-to-be former Congressman wanna-be US Senator Chris ‘ sock-puppet’ Pappas is selling himself as a moderate. Before we cite any evidence to the contrary, let’s dissect why not lying about being a moderate might actually be worse for democrats. The only moderate-ish Democrat in the Senate is John Fetterman, from Pennsylvania … Read more
Ticks again? Yes. It’s important to measure and contrast media narratives with reality. As you may recall, in April 2026, we had three more reported ER visits for tick bites than in any previous year (per the CDC). The result was a cavalcade of fearmongering headlines about the coming apocalypse. My response was to find … Read more
Remember the Cleveland Clinic Flu Shot Study? You don’t have to. I remembered it for you. 53,000 employees, of whom nearly 44,000 got the flu shot? Cleveland Clinic. World-renowned. They tracked their employees and found that the flu shot increased their odds of getting the flu by almost 30%. Lived up to its name. What’s … Read more
Way back when Barry Obama created what we still call The Opioid CrisisTM (no mention of that in his Lie-Barry, I’d guess), I said, without reservation, that its purpose was to grow government and bloat budgets. Create a therapy and treatment dependency class (occupational and patient). What we’ve taken to calling a government jobs program. … Read more

Deeply thought-provoking. For each 50$ of support you can request another thought provoking … Read more
The diversity pablum we’ve been force-fed for years is air cover for the legalized discrimination ground game. No one promoting this garbage wants you pushing against their guardrails. Anyone who tries to question the approved orthodoxy is the enemy. What they are after is hegemony. What I like to call a room full of people … Read more

I stumbled across an article at Townhall written by Derek Hunter. It’s titled “How Democrats Sell Themselves. I’m not even sure how I ended up there, but the featured image is our very own Sock Puppet Chris Pappas. He’s the lead in the article. And how does he sell himself? According to Derek, well, he’s … Read more
While the star-studded A-listers fawned over Barry Obama and everyone spoke eloquently about this or that, and Obama talked about a world where politics wasn’t so contentious (despite being the great divider), a dirty little secret and an open lie went underreported. Jackson Park and the 19-acre “campus” surrounding that ugly-ass building include an Indigenous land acknowledgment. … Read more
