One of my principled objections to legal weed is similar to that of gambling. The interference of the regulatory state and revenue whores. Both are sin taxes. Either “activity” seems harmless enough in moderation, but both will get you into trouble quickly, and when it comes to pleasures and addictions, the line forms rapidly, no … Read more
Elites, from pundits to economists, are at a loss to explain how that pig Donald Trump could be so damn lucky. There’s no way he knows more about business, trade, or global economies than they do, yet he continues to run circles around them. They predict doom from tariffs, trade wars, and economic misery, but … Read more
Bill Nye, the “I pretended to be a scientist on TV” guy, continues to garner media attention regarding weather events because he’s a trained parrot. When he says the right words he gets a cracker. Other than installing early flood warning systems in flood-prone areas, Nye said the only way prevent similar tragedies in the … Read more
It’s Wednesday, which means more humpday hijinks, from the political to the satirical to the insulting (maybe just borderline offensive). These are memes, not fact checks. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
Last December, we reported on an emergency meeting in Warren, New Hampshire, to discuss the extortion payment being demanded by a local private ambulance service covering Warren and Wenworth. That was to cover service until this past March. It’s July, and the operation shuttered its doors after the few remaining employees (everyone else had been … Read more
America isn’t the only one celebrating its 250th anniversary. It’s Vermont’s birthday, and to properly mark and market the occasion, they made a series of mistakes that ended with the uninspiring crap featured above. “Governor Phil Scott created the Vermont 250th Anniversary Commission through Executive Order in December 2020.” From a press release following the Executive order. … Read more
This is another story Democrats can get behind. Maybe not “riot-level” behind, but Mexican National Luis Mendoza-Gonzalez was just living his best illegal alien life in America when ICE came and kidnapped him! Why would immigration and customs enforcement scoop up this everyday non-citizen illegal entrant and confine them against his will? In April, local … Read more
Sandy Cortez and David Hogg are like the Democrat Party’s Ken and Barbie. Vapid Communist fashion statements with deep-pocketed Marxist supporters. Cortez pissed off leadership early and often, knowing her BU “educated” backside could warm that seat indefinitely while her detractors got old and died. She supported radical left-wingers who have since begun to fall … Read more
Robert F Kennedy Jr. is a lifelong Democrat who carried all of their baggage, at least until recently. He parted ways on vaccine mandates and a range of public health concerns that got him the sort of harassment reserved for folks like Donald Trump. Trump embraced his commitment to public health and put him where … Read more
Welcome to another work week, and whether you are a Monday hater or lover or in between, nothing starts a week off better than memes. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
Barry Obama burst onto the scene about as green as a politician can be. He had almost no experience with government or much else. But he wasn’t ugly, he could speak well, and he was black. Hillary Clinton never had much of a chance. Her party swooned. He was the LA Times’ magic Negro. “The … Read more
There is no shortage of net-zero (Nut Zero) content on these pages. We’re also not shy about taking any or all of the states in the ISO New England system to the rhetorical woodshed. Energy policy in the Northeast is blinkered and on a path to doom. The only positive news has been recent moves … Read more
One of the more clever things the Trump Administration did when it took the reins from whoever was in charge (still subject to debate) was to retool a mobile app launched by the Biden Administration. CBP One was deployed to allow “migrants” seeking asylum to set up appointments for screening. Translation: How do I get … Read more
It’s been a while since I last wrote about the goings-on in my backyard. It’s usually wildlife or ticks or something. Last year, we had a lot of birds; this year, not so many, but the Catbird is still here. We’ve got more bunnies, which is what happens when you find you’ve got at least … Read more
New Hampshire’s creepy groomers are beside themselves with glee and likely some young children over Governor Ayotte’s rejection of the bill that would keep men out of women’s bathrooms and porn out of grade school kids’ hands. They’re GLADD she did it, while the people who might actually vote for her in 2026, assuming she … Read more
We are seven weeks into the Hurricane season without a single hurricane. I blame Global Warming, specifically the current cycle resulting from the massive infusion of water vapor into the atmosphere following the 2022 Hunga Tonga eruption. Water vapor is the primary greenhouse gas, and it puts the other pretenders to shame. The Earth uses … Read more
Welcome back for another week ending meme indulgence. Feast your eyes on the massive buffet of memes, fresh from somewhere on the internet, curated by someone else, emailed to me, and displayed here for your entertainment. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
Every objection from Democrats to the current realignment of responsibility underway in Washington, DC is based on a severely flawed premise. What people need cannot exist if the government doesn’t take the people’s money to fund it and control it. It’s not that you don’t know what you want; it’s that you may not spend … Read more
Aside From Pissing Off Half His Base The strange, bizarre, complete 180 on the long-promised, pending revelations in the Epstein Files has a lot of people pissed off. Taken at face value, a human trafficking operation likely coordinated between US and Israeli Intelligence through Jeffrey Epstein (and a handful of wealthy connected persons of interest) … Read more
Amidst the plethora of good and bad things signed by Governor Ayotte this week were some much-needed baby steps on the matter of New Hampshire’s energy independence. The Granite State is tied to ISO New England and, by extension, the destructive green energy priorities of the surrounding states—all of them. Our already too-high electric rates … Read more
