Several stories broke in the past few days about the Biden Administration’s mishandling of the pandemic. Try as I might, I couldn’t get them both into the title. The Democrat Administration was hiding dangerous COVID-19 vaccine side effects from the public while labeling people concerned about harmful side effects as dangerous, violent extremists. First. “The … Read more
New York’s massive Empire Wind project has received the green light from the White House in exchange for the approval of two natural gas pipelines that would have to travel through New York State. When the news first broke that President Trump’s White House had agreed to let the offshore wind development proceed, I was … Read more
As reported back in March, Vermont is pretending to be concerned about arbitrary man-made emissions reduction targets. Two months ago, experts predicted the state would miss by as much as 12%. All the usual suspects were pearl-clutching and hand-wringing, despite decisions about the things measured being as arbitrary and man-made as the target. What counts … Read more
On May 24th, 2006, the so-called climate documentary ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ exposed Americans to sore loser Al Gore’s post-public-office wealth accumulation strategy: peddle fear and cherry-pick data into the perception of expertise, scaremonger bad science to sell people on ideas he would invest in. Al did his speaking tours, got lots of earned media for … Read more
Sadly, for the propagandist left, Joe cannot escape his prostate cancer diagnosis by declaring he’s a woman. Raid Dr. Jill’s closet and wear all the dresses and make-up you like. You can even get a ‘takemydickfrome’ but Mr. Prostate will forever plague you. Literally, but that’s not all you can’t escape. The news of Demntia … Read more
Both chambers of the New Hampshire legislature have passed HB148, “permitting classification of individuals based on biological sex under certain circumstances.” The bill allows public and private entities to restrict access to certain spaces based on biological sex. Restaurants, gyms and whoever are free to segregate by sex-parts without fear of legal retribution by men … Read more
You’ll have by now learned that the FDA no longer recommends boosters for the Chinese Virus to anyone under 64 or younger unless they fit an immunocompromised profile. Or that before it can begin to consider that injection for anyone else, manufacturers will have to prove a clinical benefit. You can’t just say it’s safe … Read more
No one complains as much if their vehicle insurance rates are higher because they bought a car thieves love more than others. You can complain if you didn’t know that, but then that’s no one else’s job but yours. Before you buy a car, it makes sense to do some research. Vehicles with higher rates … Read more
I’m not sure how many men do the majority of the grocery shopping, but in my house, it is me. Even before my office left me and I started working from home, my office job made it convenient to stop at any number of destinations to pick up groceries or household items. I’d be a … Read more
The recent matter of white South African refugees waving American flags upon their arrival in the United States has more triggers than a gun store. Lefties are losing what passes for their hive mind. And I can’t help but wonder if Mr. Trump and his crew did not orchestrate this process to allow Dems to … Read more
Don’t expect them to admit that you were right. About what? Raising the minimum wage for tipped employees would result in lost hours, fewer jobs, higher prices, and restaurant closings. If you are reading this, assuming you are not some progressive troll, you knew that. The real minimum wage is zero, which is where more … Read more
If you missed last night’s Granite State Live, there have been some changes, but one thing remains the same. Keith Hanson continues to deliver epic takedowns and rants that melt the internet. Yesterday evening, Julian was talking about a long-term problem: getting “our side” to get off their ass and show up. I know, we … Read more
You’d be right to wonder why, when you’ve finally got a majority in both chambers and the Chief Executive is one of yours, you’d waste your time on a bunt when you could swing for the fences. Ironically, we’ve got that in New Hampshire and DC, but Republicans don’t seem to know what to do … Read more
Buses built by Lion Electric are bursting into flames across the fruited plains. The fires have prompted a local transportation company providing bus service to a Vermont school district to discontinue use. After reported fires in Lion Electric buses across the country, Student Transportation of Vermont removed Barre Town’s buses for safety precautions. They reached … Read more
Narrative battle lines are being drawn as the improbability of the Joe Biden presidency crashes headlong into the improbability that Joe’s Stage 4 Prostate Cancer “emerged” in the last three months. Let’s get this over with: To anyone on the left calling for us to forget about Joe’s missing marbles, or the massive, RICO-quality, Democrat … Read more
Where’s The Liberty In That? If you want to start a fight online in the Granite State, and probably your state too, pick a side on the so-called housing-crisis debate. It might be worse than mentioning abortion at whatever passes for your watercooler. Numerous factors have made housing expensive. Some say there is an inventory … Read more
A reader brought this to my attention: Christopher Helali is an openly communist public official in Orange County, Vermont. Not so surprising, as this is Vermont. Burlington, for example, has two-party elections. Left, and further Left. Democrats and Socialsits. No one else need bother to run, there’s no point, and the effect it has had … Read more
The UK’s Royal College of Psychiatrists (RC Psych) has taken an unusual position on an Assisted Dying Bill before parliament. Unlike many in the US and Canada, the RC Psych has chosen to be cautiously neutral while disagreeing with politicians and advocates that this is the ultimate expression of empathy. When people are miserable, particularly … Read more
Now that he is running for the US Senate, a position for which it is difficult to unseat even the most despicable liberal scold, Chris Pappas, has invited more scrutiny. As a member of Congress, he can and has done plenty of damage, but the size of the US House dilutes the potential harm. He’d … Read more
New Hampshire is the only state in the Northeast other than Maine that is NOT a Sanctuary State, but it did not strictly prohibit towns or cities from pretending they were. This amounted to local political pressure to dissuade peace officers from assisting federal immigration enforcement, particularly with detention retainers. In practice, this produces two … Read more
