…The Left, Crime, and Punishment Crime and Punishment. No, not the epic story by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, I’m thinking along parallel but different lines. Our protagonists, the Democrat party leadership, perpetuate evil and think themselves extraordinary, but they simultaneously serve as the antagonists in the stories of many others. The Dems and their narrative mules are … Read more
Before you can have a flash flood, you’ll need to have a lot of rain, but would it surprise you to know that the latter does not predict more of the former? I was surprised, so it might shock, astound, and astonish the Chicken Little climate grifters exploiting the recent tragedy in Flash Flood Alley … Read more
A few weeks back, Jaun, who runs Right America Media, asked me if I wanted to create a new commercial for GraniteGrok. We’d been running this one for a while, and a refresh seems like a good idea. The ad runs on Granite State Live, Right Side Up, and GrokTALK! I want them to amuse so … Read more
If you are a registered Democrat, this ought to concern you. Your party’s “leaders,” elected officials, have been telling their people to start trouble for years. Stories about anti-globalist brick throwers in the 20th century are well known, and violence has always been an easy tool for the left to pick up. And with rare … Read more
If you have a drop of common sense, you already know the answer to why hiring managers might be less than enthusiastic about applicants who’ve recently graduated from college—more trouble than they are worth, even if they have a degree in something useful. The campus culture hasn’t just bilked them for a small fortune; it … Read more
From the “found in the inbox” files, some text and a TikTok from a reasonably young lady who not only doesn’t want to work, but also says she has no idea how. I don’t want to work. I told her she is not going to take my food stamps, she is not going to take … Read more
There’s more than one way to skin a cat, or so the saying goes. And while there is some debate about the origin (1839, give or take), pithy turns of phrase on the matter of multiple paths to a chosen end have been expressed throughout history. And if at first you don’t succeed. Murderous mob … Read more
A shared link to a story at WMUR (ABC News 9) announced that the Attorney General’s office had shut down 40% of the illicit massage parlors in the state. It’s a very specific claim, so the first thing I thought was, why not the other 60%? If you know they are illicit spas engaged in … Read more
One of the narratives that circulates among eco-cultists is the pervasive fear that we’ve broken the planet and are doomed. It’s not true, but they’ve heard it so many times that its constant consumption has become part of their person. Their reality hinges on this lie being true. It is cultish, and why the movement … Read more
Seventy years ago, a practice hundreds of years old was kneecapped just a little bit. Those fiery sermons of old, which spread the call for liberty and independence in the Colonial era, were stifled. Even after the IRS was invented out of whole cloth, pulpit pounders were free to talk about politicians and even endorse … Read more
One of the revelations from my most recent not-quite-a-podcast podcast interview with Phil Kerpen was the Medicaid fraud situation. There’s a lot of fraud, and the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB), now known as the One Big Beautiful Law (or the One Big Beautiful Act or OBBA), takes a chainsaw to numerous Medicare scams. First, … Read more
Are There Other Tricks Up His Sleeve? I think it’s crazy for MAGA supporters to suggest breaking up the coalition over the Epstein Files FUBAR. They are not the beginning and the end of the elite’s international child sex trafficking cabal. Any list would be helpful in guilt-shaming globalist predators, but I’m not convinced it … Read more
Vermont floods occasionally, but until recently, when politics and money were at stake, no one blamed it on your trying to live a comfortable, affordable life. These days, that comfort is to blame for something that has been happening since long before peasants could find much, if any, comfort. Flooding happens, and people build stuff … Read more
Keene, New Hampshire Democrat NH House Rep. Jodi Newell (Cheshire District 4) was arrested on July 1st after police responded to a call about a motor vehicle accident involving a tree. State Rep. Jodi Newell was arrested Monday evening on a charge of driving under the influence following a single-vehicle crash on Base Hill Road, … Read more
When your entire identity and agenda are defined by someone like Donald Trump, RFKJ, and, for a brief moment, Elon Musk, the one thing external observers need to understand is why? The easy answer is that they don’t stand for anything but their own misinterpretations of what someone else is doing, followed by projections of … Read more
Incorporated by the General Court on September 27, 1787, Bradford, New Hampshire, previously New Bradford and Bradfordton, is a plucky little burb with a current population of just over 1600. In 2021, the Bradford fire Chief [Correction – it was a Captain, not the chief; the original linked post has been updated] was arrested for sexual assault, and two … Read more
I find it difficult to imagine that the 20% of the population with Trump Derangement Syndrome or those who are TDS “adjacent” could ever tire of expressing their ire in public. It’s more or less all they’ve got. What does your party stand for? Hating Trump! We’re not Trump. Trump is evil. He is destroying … Read more
Several times today, you will find detailed content on some of the significant issues with New Hampshire’s One Big Beautiful Bill (or not so much), HB2. It’s got some good, bad, and ugly, and we’ve covered some of that here and here, and while there’s a lot of good, and we need to take the points we can get, … Read more
Many of us are at a point where being still for too long can cause us harm. You went to sleep feeling fine, but getting up is a form of torture that can last for minutes, hours, or even days: aches, pains, twinges, loss of mobility, or range of motion. Getting old, as some like … Read more
The company that makes Jaguars today isn’t the same as the one that founded it. The brand has been around for a century, having been owned by Ford Motor Company for a while, and then by Tata Motors. It’s Jaguar Landrover these days, but not for very much longer. The company promised to make all … Read more
