The House voted today on their speaker for the next two years, and Sherm Packard will retain the gavel. Rep. Kim Rice had mounted a challenge to his leadership for some pretty good reasons, which I have learned. There’s no point in getting into that now, but Packard remains the speaker, and his leadership team … Read more
It is the nature of human beings to wonder about things in the past. Take the Nazis for example. Who were these people who so blindly followed Adolf Hitler into not just the chaos and destruction of a continent-wide war but the murder of millions of Jews, Gypsies, and others? How is it that they … Read more
Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts is featured in the most recent edition of Hillsdale College’s Imprimis. The topic is “Populist Conservatism and Constitutional Order.” He opens with this. The top-down, elitist brand of politics that has dominated the United States since the end of the Cold War—under Republican and Democratic administrations alike—has failed. Yes, we … Read more
I’m not sure when the trend started, but at some point in the arc of pop culture, T-shirts began to emerge with the message: “I went to [insert name of place], and all I got was this stupid T-shirt.” This sprung a number of variations on the theme: “I went there, did that, but all … Read more
Everyone has heard about Joe Biden’s Sunday blanket pardon of his son Hunter. Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. Yes, my son, you have, but I am the president. You are forgiven for all real or imagined crimes from January 2014 until today. Amen. Most of the focus has been on how Creepy Joe … Read more
In a Report dated December 4th, 2024, the Congressional Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic dropped a 520-page report on its investigation into the pandemic and the response. One of the first topics it addressed was whether the virus was zoonotic or engineered. Keep in mind that there are things in this report that the … Read more
The Congressional Select Subcommittee on the COVID pandemic has released its after-action report (520 pages). I’ve just begun to wade into it, but a few things immediately jump off the page. In the investigation of whether the Wuhan Flu was Zoonotic or a lab leak, the report lists five reasons why the lab leak scenario … Read more

Your support can help us continue providing unfiltered independent news and opinion—the kind of new media experience without which Donald Trump would likely never have been reelected president. The kind of Independent Media without which we’d not have secured our majorities. Every … Read more
I doubt anyone believed Joe Biden when he said he’d respect the legal process and let the jury decide Hunter Biden’s fate. “I’m extremely proud of my son, Hunter. He has overcome an addiction. He’s one of the brightest, most decent men I know,” Biden said in June. “And I am satisfied that I’m not … Read more
Democrats are afraid of ideas with which they disagree. It is better to censor them to protect the people than assume “the people” can use their judgment. Trump Derangement Syndrome has similar side effects. It is better to run away from the potential for prosperity than allow it to improve people’s lives – they might … Read more
I’d like to give a hat tip to Tom Woods for the idea and the headline. Tom used it as a lead to offer his email list a Black Friday deal on his Liberty classroom. I’m hijacking it to ask you to consider the question and nothing else. When was the moment that you realized … Read more
This isn’t a new topic of debate, but it has been known to rile folks up—evidence of vaccine-induced autism. Sharyl Attkisson is a long-time reporter and Journalist (with loads of awards for her work) who had the honor of being spied on by the Federal Government during the Obama administration. To be fair, Barry was … Read more
Did you know that, thanks to the work of interested activists and elected Representatives, New Hampshire stopped paying dues to the American Library Association (ALA) last year? It’s been nearly 18 months since tax dollars were sent to the extremists in the ALA. But Chris Sununu’s nominee for State Librarian, Melinda Atwood, would likely renew … Read more
Curating content can lead to exciting discoveries, like this story from the left-wing-funded States Newsroom. I found it shared in the Vermont Daily Chronicle. No worries, they aren’t part of States Newsroom, though I suspect Vermont has a site somewhere. (Locally, it is the NH Bulletin). These sites engineer narratives with headlines and content written … Read more
The political left is notorious for its hypocrisy. They claim to be all about inclusion and diversity, but politics is the only thing that matters. If yours are wrong, none of the things listed in every anti-discrimination law will protect you from their wrath. Age, sex, race, religion, sexual orientation, skin color, origin, or occupation … Read more
Sometimes, words take on new meanings, and in other instances, meanings are thrust upon them. Some words have several meanings, like, say ‘Fly.’ It is a mode of transportation, a bothersome insect, and an important part of your apparel (pants in particular). I can’t speak any other language, but English has its fair share of … Read more
Those of us who remember the first few years of the Trump administration, circa 2017-2019, recall the nonstop abuse by the handmaiden media and their political enablers. But we had a fantastic economy, burgeoning world peace, and energy independence. It got so good that gobsmacked Democrats tried to give Barry Obama credit. None of the … Read more
We’re not fans of fake meat. It isn’t better for the environment, and it isn’t better for you. But we won’t tell you not to buy or eat it. We will tell you that you are being fed lies, but knock yourself out if you don’t care or are comfortable with the fantasy. Eating fake meat is … Read more
George Floyd overdosed and then died in police custody. Black Lives Matter rose from obscurity to lead a revolution (burning down black businesses and extorting money), and weak-kneed concerns, from insurance to sports teams to pancakes, rice, and dairy products, cleansed their brands of anything “brown person.” These casualties included the Mutual of Omaha Chief, … Read more
Yesterday, Jeff Childers fisked an article of unknown date of origin that asked the question in the headline. Why didn’t you warn us? Please put down any beverage before reading this excerpt. While well intending citizens lined up, did the right thing, and received their COVID19 vaccinations — now seeming to do more harm than … Read more
