New Year’s Eve is the premier alcoholic consumption holiday on the planet (even where it is banned or prohibited). I’ve consumed a few myself in years past, but I declared two things tied to this holiday long ago. First, I don’t like how I feel when tipsy, so I don’t drink enough to get there … Read more
My headline quotes Nicolas Barry. He’s America First Legal Senior Counsel, and he points out the problem the Trump administration will need to wrestle with if it intends to ‘Shatter the left-wing censorship machine.’ You can fire public employees (it is not always easy, but it can be done), investigate them for suppressing protected speech, … Read more
The headline is a narrative the Democrats are running with, and it’s a total lie. Here’s Hakeem (bless you) Jeffries repeating the lie to enthusiastic members of their handmaiden media. Here’s Lizard Warren repeating the same Lie as the media eats it up without any context, question or challenge. I bring it up because this … Read more
Following this morning’s alert on getting a school budget tax cap approved, I bring you another throne in the SAU and School board’s “paw.” Al Brabdabo has proposed, in the town of Kensington, a warrant to be voted on that would approve an audit of the SAU’s accounting practices. To be conducted by an accredited … Read more
Little-noticed Senate Bill SB383 somehow managed to become law without much fanfare, but one of the bill’s provisions could be the key to controlling property tax hikes in your New Hampshire town. First, from Grokster Rep. Judy Aron, what does it do? In summary, this bill provides an additional practical method for a local tax … Read more
The post-Kamala electoral flogging continues to reap rewards for the Republic. From pissing off white women and Hispanics to calling black men racist, the deep blue core can’t help but be the thing that cost them the election. They don’t know anything else. Resentment, anger, and accusations. It’s so much fun to watch, especially when … Read more
PFOS and PFAS are commonly used in wind turbine manufacturing and use. This is not in dispute. Renewable energy components such as hydrogen fuel cells, wind turbines, sheathing for power cables, and coatings for electrical wires can all contain PFAS. They also can appear in battery energy storage system cabinets and in fire suppression systems … Read more
The Biden years have been filled with horrors. From Murder Hornets to giant floating Joro Spiders to venomous hairy caterpillars (the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal and being on the verge of nuclear war), it’s been a busy few years. But determined and innovative scientists have notched a win. Murder hornets are “officially” eradicated from the continental … Read more
The State of Vermont is committed to ruining the lives of Vermonters to achieve arbitrary emissions reduction targets that are globally insignificant. The entire exercise is a punchline to a bad joke. To make matters worse, the State is arguing with environmentalists over whether or not they are achieving those meaningless planned reductions. To meet … Read more
For the past decade, Rand Paul has been issuing an annual report on government waste. A highlight reel of some of the worst fiscal abuses of the public trust and its tax dollars. This year the Kentucky Senator has accumulated another sliver of fiscal abuse and shared it with the world. “This year, I am … Read more
Disregarding the fact that there is no constitutional premise on which he should have lost his rights in the first place, the Third Circuit, deciding a case vacated and remanded to them by the US Supreme Court, ruled in a 13-2 decision that “Bryan Range, a Pennsylvania man convicted of food stamp fraud nearly three … Read more
Should you stop believing anything they say when they admit they are liars? That is the gift that Democrats and the media have given to America this week, and it’s not a Christmas miracle but yet another admission that they will say or do anything, and this is the Christmas gift that keeps on giving. … Read more
I was a big fan of Charles Schultz and Peanuts as a kid, and I think it was my gateway to appreciating jazz and then the blues. I am a fan of all music and an expert on none (for the record), but jazz has always had a special place for my ear. Many years … Read more
Remember that time in 2017 when an Iceberg the size of ‘Deleware’ calved from the (A-68 from the Larsen C Ice Shelf)? We reported on the fake news back then. Climate fraudsters are busy today touting an Antarctic iceberg the size of Delaware. In 1956, an iceberg five times as large broke off, and it was … Read more
Iowa Senator Joni Ernst is chairing the Senate companion committee for the DOGE initiative. DOGE has a mission to make the Federal Government more efficient and less bloated. Ernst issued a press release this week outlining her committee’s commitment to the project with some details about one particularly troubling aspect, which is an opportunity to … Read more
The Gulf of Maine offshore wind leases are a done deal, but the project isn’t. We have invested no small amount of effort to protect the Gulf of Maine from dangerous development but the Feds want what the Feds want. They rushed the deal (fearing Trump would nix it) with little regard to the concerns … Read more
School districts did a lot of misbehavin’ after the COVID thing started. The Rochester Community School District in Michigan was keeping dossiers on parents who were critical of COVID lockdowns. Elena Dinverno sued and was awarded S190,000.00. No one else was suing so the open question was how many parents and who? [Elizabeth] Clair said … Read more
Before the door hits him in the ass, on the way out, Governor Chris Sununu issued an executive order rescinding 145 past executive orders going as far back as 2003. The list included several of his own, including nineteen from 2020 and 11 from 2021 (where we’ll likely find the pandemic-era Flununu flinch Emergency Orders). … Read more
The fallout from the withdrawal of Mindy Atwood for State Librarian continues to amuse. I think I made the points that needed making yesterday here (If Book Banning Is Bad, Why Can You Do It?) and here (Actually, Libraries Are The Problem), but when proglodytes give you low-hanging fruit…you make jam out of them. InDepth … Read more
The Town of Windham is bad at elections. Before the 2020 Windham Incident, we don’t know how bad, but since then, they’ve failed at every opportunity to ensure election integrity. This required the Secretary of State to provide election monitors, which hasn’t done much good, and the most recent report on Windham’s progress is proof. … Read more
