One of the largest recorded underwater volcanic eruptions (Jan 15, 2022) sent record amounts of water vapor into the Earth’s atmosphere. As the single biggest driver of warming (water vapor), the Earth’s surface was expected to heat up a bit in and for a while in the following months. The problem was that most of … Read more
You could put every ‘confirmed’ case of Bird Flu in the United States (in humans) on a Greyhound Bus. Fewer than 70 cases (68) out of a population of 340 million (ish). That’s 0.00002%. You’re more likely to get struck by lightning (1 in 15,300). And that’s just catching it. There have been no fatal … Read more
We can lump this into the “your COVID-19 vaccine is safe and effective” category. While I’m at it, we should add the Hunter Biden Laptop (Disinformazia), The Steel Dossier, Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, George Floyd, and everything that comes out of Hillary Clinton’s mouth. The Covington kids, everything the media claimed in Trump 1.0, and … Read more
The New Hampshire House has taken significant steps toward protecting the “fragile” Gulf of Maine from big wind and its ratepayers from higher electricity costs – acknowledging that the latter is arguably too little too late. Our electric rates suck, have sucked for decades, and keep getting suckier, so this week’s action is more a … Read more
It is not clear yet if anyone is going to swing (rhetorically) for all the corruption, fraud, and waste being unearthed within the payment systems of your federal government, but someone needs to go to jail. I think everyone can agree on that. The issue is who can be held accountable for the rank incompetence … Read more
The sun rises, the water is wet, and just like guns, Democrats hate nullification until they love it. Dems love guns as long as they control whoever controls the guns. The same can be said for nullification, the idea that states have veto power over federal demands. And we agree. States have rights, and lots … Read more
This week marked the end of the first month of the second Trump Presidency. It’s only been a month. Feels longer, yes? In a good way. Not for the Swamp creatures. Democrats and bureaucrats (almost always the same thing) are lawyering up against risk of lawsuits while others have filed scores of lawsuits. The proglodytes … Read more
In the mid-oughts, then-politically unemployed former New Hampshire Governor Jeanne Shaheen decided a career in the US Senate would be good for her. And it has. She’s been there since 2009 and profited handsomely while more than tripling the national debt. And yes, she did run in 2008 against irresponsible government spending – by which … Read more
I don’t think any of our writers have riled on this issue more than Skip. The ruination of the iconic gas can via federal interference and regulation. An icon of government interference for the everyman. A bureaucratic assault on simplicity that drove up the price while making it nearly impossible to use one. Talk about … Read more
Another week, another Friday, more memes. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
If you are not on X, or arnot following me or Grok (and if you are on X please follow both), you might have missed this, and it’s brilliant. “White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller gives the Fake News a Civics lesson” during a White House Press Conference. Watch Karoline. At one point, … Read more
If you don’t read my Substack, you should. Yesterday, I created a TDS variant named DOGE Derangement Syndrome (DDS, but without the dentist). There’s no need to describe it; it’s the only thing the Democrats can talk about. And it turns out to have been one of several judicial traps set by Team MAGA for … Read more
Donald Trump continues to get the people he wants as the United States Senate has just confirmed Kash Patel to run the FBI. The Senate has narrowly voted, 51-49, to confirm Kash Patel to be FBI Director. Collins and Lisa Murkowski joined all 47 Democrats in voting no on Patel’s nomination. That was NBC – … Read more
Bay State proglodytes would like you to be impressed by the worth of the state’s population. Massachusetts added nearly 70,000 bodies, according to the last census update (2024). If you wanted to spin it a certain way, you could say that the state is appealing, and the net increase is proof. Sadly, that would be … Read more
This is just a quick heads-up to let you know that I will be posting GrokTALK! on Thursday this week instead of Wednesday. My Guest will be Phill Kerpen from American Commitment, and we’ll be unwrapping the Trump Agenda. It’s a big topic with a lot of moving parts coming at us like water from … Read more
New Hampshire is a great place with a low overall tax burden, high quality of life, low poverty, and excellent average wages, and it is one of the safest places to live in America. It also has a lot of secrets buried under the porch, in the basement, and in the backyard. Once Upon A … Read more
The cost of everything was already up thanks to bad economic policy. Inflation got so bad that it started to harm the so-called green energy industry. The elite’s response to that was to print more money and give it to the greenwashers, which just made inflation worse. But that wasn’t enough. Busy-body lefties piled regulations … Read more
If you’d like to take a walk down memory lane, New Hampshire has a colorful relationship with allowing boys and men to play girls and women’s sports. From flag lawsuits to sexual predator relatives, there’s no shortage of soap-opera-level intrigue. One consistent thing is the effort by activists to save women’s sports and that of … Read more
If you are reading this, it has been sixteen days since the Committee to Elect House Republicans (CTEHR) was publicly informed of the need to submit corrected campaign finance reports to the Secretary of State’s Office to account for missing expenditures totaling nearly $170,000.00. If you’ve been following the story, you’ll know that, according to … Read more
With a nod to Marxism’s goal of breaking everything, trust in public health, hospitals, and medicine is at an all-time low. The response to SARS CoV2 fractured public confidence, and while there’s room for a discussion about whether that was the point or just a helpful artifact, that ship has sailed. The triad of hospitals, … Read more
