In England, if you want to start a fight in a bar (or a Pub), say something nasty about the monarchy or the nearest football team. In New Hampshire, it’s housing and zoning. We’ve offered our pages to both sides with a few takers because it’s a complex issue, and there are a lot of … Read more
The idea that saying things about Jews or Israel that are contrary to the approved narrative is hate speech is dangerous. Antisemitism is a thing, but as I warned previously, it continues to be wielded with destructive effect. Anti-Semitism can’t be dismissed, nor can it be allowed to infringe, but laws to address it look … Read more
It’s almost Summer. That means another apocalyptic season of Biblical proportions. Or is it another season of biblical apocalypses? Boiling seas, all manner of tempests, raining fire, swarms of frogs, hell like infernos, and (of course) rising seas that swallow the sinners, Noah-like but with some dry land left to which true believers may cling. … Read more
Update: The cargo vessel has now been abandoned. And while no cause has been officially assigned, the lithium batteries are the prime suspect. Photographs show the vessel still smoking hundreds of miles from the nearest coastline days after the initial distress signal was received. Thick columns of smoke can be seen billowing into the sky. Incredibly, all … Read more
The Party of Biden and Harris has historically done everything it could to aggregate power in the hands of the federal government and its Chief Executive. They are central planners ideologically descended from Wilson (America’s first Fascist President) and FDR. Congress has been equally generous in abrogating its authority to the Executive branch and its … Read more
On June 3rd, New Hampshire’s Judicial Branch published an update requesting public comment on court efficiency. “Our efficiency committee has been working hard and taking feedback from rank and file members of the judicial branch as well as key stakeholders related to how we can maximize the efficient use of public resources and streamline and coordinate … Read more
News broke yesterday on another US Supreme Court decision that triggered the baby-killing left. The High Court ruled that the Medicaid laws’ “any qualified provider” clause did not prohibit states from banning the use of Medicaid funds for (in this case) Planned Parenthood. The majority opinion in the 6–3 decision in Medina v. Planned Parenthood … Read more
New Hampshire Governor Ayotte signed HB230 on Friday, limiting the ability of local public health officials to engage in the kind of public health tyranny that was common during the COVID-19 era. The statute relating to the adoption of local health ordinances was amended to remove language that implied a broad range of authority. I. … Read more
Ukraine is credited with doing some amazing things this past week. It managed to get close to Putin as in to kill him, while coordinating drone attacks all over Russia against its strategic nuclear deterrent. NATO couldn’t do it with US intelligence aid, which means Ukraine couldn’t get help from NATO without the same. Someone … Read more
California and Hawaii were Worse The Heritage Foundation just released its 2025 Election Integrity Report. In order to help voters, state legislators, election officials, and all Americans who are interested in ensuring a fair and secure election process, The Heritage Foundation has published this Election Integrity Scorecard, which compares the election laws and regulations of each … Read more
Members of a majority group have the same Civil Rights Act protections as everyone else. That’s the ruling passed down by the US Supreme Court in a 9-0 unanimous decision delivered by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. Being discriminated against in the workplace because you are heterosexual is illegal. Happy Pride Month. “The Sixth Circuit has … Read more
Democrats used to pretend to be the party of the people, and the people believed them. Not so much these days, but they can’t win elections without working-class voters, so their hatred of primarily white middle-class Americans needs a cover story. Pay no attention to the globalism, policy that increases taxes, rasies the cost of … Read more
The big news around the Granite State these days is that Bill Shaheen, the head of a well-respected local law and lobbying firm, Shaheen and Gordon, husband of US Senator Jeanne Shaheen, was on a TSA watchlist and was rumored to have traveled with a suspected terrorist. My advice is to stop wasting time on … Read more
Pride Month is a sex-cultural phenomenon, a social construct that, in some dystopian future, would be subverted and changed. Not the name. It’d still be pride month, but instead of being proud to share your obsession with your own sexuality or the virtue signal of forcing others to celebrate someone else’s, it’d be some other … Read more
I love the timing of this, given that I just posted something similar on my Substack (there is a paywall on the second half because my subscribers deserve exclusive content that no one else can read). The revelation is neither new nor groundbreaking. It’s right up there with “Why are you obsessed with kids and … Read more
Democrat cities with crime problems are forever making excuses while claiming to seek remedies. Their solutions inevitably make matters worse because the problem is Democrats. If you want more crime, elect them and keep them. Burlington, Vermont, has a crime problem because of “Democrats.” They defunded the police in 2020/2021, invited the homeless, illegals, and … Read more
Remember Air America. No, not the government-run chain of propaganda programs blasted across the world to pump up the US and diss our enemies. Air America. After Rush Limbaugh saved AM radio and the right took over the medium, a bunch of rich liberals felt they needed an answer. Air America. It was non-stop bitching, … Read more
One of the excuses the Climate Cult makes for ignoring the significant emissions from biomass plants is that, because it is carbon captured by plants, it makes it renewable. Plants capture CO2, so it’s okay to burn them and emit whatever into wherever. This is a cop out. Every fuel on the planet, except nuclear, … Read more
When the Democrat supermajority passed Act 18, the Clean Heat Standard, back in 2023 it came with a provision called the “check back” wherein the legislature would have to vote to approve (or not) rules subsequently drafted by the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) for operating the law’s carbon credit exchange. During the 2024 campaign, incumbents … Read more
The joys of ideological partisanship abound as “the courts” continue to serve the partisan needs of a faction within government that insists that the law of the land is that ‘Whatever Biden did, Trump can’t undo.’ Executive powers exercised by Biden’s Oval Office ceased the day Donald Trump was sworn back into office. This is … Read more
