The Danes are an interesting lot. They publish research proving that polar ice and polar bears are fine while being all in on the not-so-renewable energy fad. They were big on the wind before there was a big wind, and for years, it has been painfully evident that it’s not going to work, but they … Read more
The words “Housing Crisis” have achieved epidemic status next to “overdose deaths,” “Bird Flu,” and if you are one for reminiscing, everything about the COVID thing. It is a topic with a polarizing quality whose solutions I have inferred might not be so good for New Hampshire. A less frequently cited problem in housing “issues” … Read more
I wrote this last year, but with a new session just a few days away, I thought this might be a good time to revisit it. Elected officials who use social media accounts to report on their duties, votes, bills, hearings, or anything similar are setting themselves up to get sued if they block people … Read more
It is no secret that Wikipedia is part of the #woke media complex. Its editors are a cabal of Pharisees, and the content is increasingly suspect, even on topics like science. What was once intended as an encyclopedia by the people is one by certain people with a very narrow left-wing sense of meaning meant … Read more
Biden’s FCC reinstituted (Obama-Era) net neutrality rules in April. They were suspended in August while a challenge lounged around in the federal court system. It only took four months, but the 6th Circuit has trashed the rules and told the FCC that it lacks the authority to regulate in this manner. The Federal Communications Commission … Read more
Here’s a quick (bonus!) finger-in-the-eye sort of post. Comma-Lah seems to have forgotten the pledge of allegiance (*assuming she ever knew it, of course). Grok Shot: Kamala Forgets* the Pledge of Allegiance
I doubt there’s scientific research on it, but I’ve had this idea niggling at the back of my mind for a while. Anecdotally, how likely is your voting district to blue-shift based on the number of apartments you allow developers to add? We know that urban areas overwhelmingly vote Democrat. These places had a lot … Read more
Last year, the Vermont Legislature wrote and passed a law, S.259, the “Climate Superfund Act.” Its stated purpose is to fiscally fine fossil fuel companies for damage caused by “climate change.” Its actual purpose is to grub about for money to fill holes in mismanaged budges created by big-spending Democrats. I’ve said plenty about how … Read more
The busybodies running the town of Epping, New Hampshire, have decided to make a little more money from a local “race track.” On Monday, the town will hold a public meeting regarding by-law changes that apply to “THE REGULATION AND LICENSING OF MOTOR VEHICLE RACE TRACK.” Here is the full statement on the situation (Facebook) … Read more
You likely suspect or perhaps even know, but that’s not nearly as handy as having receipts to show people who are freaking out about the potential bird flu pandemic. We’re here to help. The evidence points to gain-of-function research. Yes, the federal government was involved (USDA). Here’s Peter McCullough talking about it. And the research … Read more
Mike Johnson will continue to be the Speaker of the US House after a last-minute first vote change by two republican holdouts. Speaker nominee Mike Johnson (R-La.) clinched 218 votes to reclaim the gavel on the first ballot. The final tally was 218 for Johnson and 215 for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.). Three … Read more
Vermont’s Minimum wage rose to over 14$ an hour for the first time on January 1st, 2025. We reported on that give to the Granite State here. It turns out the State of Maine was already meddling in that range as it just raised its rate on J1 from $14.15 to $14.65 per hour. First, thank … Read more
On New Year’s Day in New Orleans, on a famous stretch of road known as Bourbon Street, a US citizen used a rented pickup truck to kill twenty people and wound many more. This mass casualty event – we can’t say mass shooting because the only individual to die from gunfire was the perp when … Read more
Marc Jacques isn’t just any admitted and convicted sex offender arrested for possessing child pornography. He is world famous. His hijinks at girls’ soccer games, where he watched his son compete as a girl, got national attention, likely – in my opinion – as a result of having groomed him so he’d have easy access … Read more
The Democrat party, exemplified by those fighting to ruin New Hampshire and make it less than the worst of the New England States, has an image problem. Its most recent standard-bearer stood for nothing or, at best, whatever Biden was, which wasn’t good. Funding Foreign wars that kill tens of thousands to “create” good-paying American … Read more

Another ‘Reporter’ has come out publicly to acknowledge that the watchdog media was too busy chewing on the bones fed to them by ‘The Feds’ to accurately report the mental state of the Commander in Chief. [CBS News legal correspondent Jan] Crawford admitted that Biden’s handlers lied about the outgoing president’s mental fitness to the … Read more
At approximately 3 AM in New Orleans, a vehicle drove into a New Year’s Eve Crowd on Bourbon Street. The New Orleans Police Department said in a statement reported by NBC affiliate WDSU that “mass casualties are reported on Bourbon and Iberville Streets” and that a vehicle may have plowed into people. WDSU NBC 6 New Orleans … Read more
Sandy Cortez’s squad has had some attrition issues lately. Ironically, they fell off Team Marx via the same tactic Cotezz had tried to get them there in the first place. Sandy’s plan has been to primary old school Dems with young commies, but a few of the citizens seem to have lost interest in that. … Read more
If you read my 8 AM post this morning, you’ll know I don’t make resolutions at New Year’s because the idea behind them is part of my everyday. That does not diminish the opportunity to use the cultural paradigm of a calendar flip to leverage improvements among bad actors, be it misfeasance or malfeasance. I’m … Read more
