The US State Department’s Global Engagement Center (GEC) was originally authorized and funded for eight years, and that time has ended. The current Defense funding bill provides no joy or taxpayer dollars to finance its purpose: to identify and censor (or suppress) global terrorism online, which pivoted to silencing center-right political populism beginning in 2016 … Read more
The state of New Hampshire is a great place except for family court, election integrity, too much dependence on federal money, institutionalized child-sex predation, electricity prices, and jackpot justice. Wow, Steve, that sounds like a terrible place. It’s not awful. Better than most. We have a low total tax burden, increasing liberty, and a great … Read more
A major manufacturer of Bump Stocks – Slide Fire Solution – Has filed a lawsuit against the Federal Government, claiming the 2018 Bump Stock Ban violates Americans’ Fifth Amendment rights. The lawsuit underscores the importance of protecting citizens from overreach and preserving the balance between public safety and constitutional freedoms. Slide Fire Solutions contends that … Read more
One of the libertarian facets of my conservatarianism is that I don’t much give a damn what adults do to themselves or each other (consensually). I have reasonable doubts about some of the behaviors. I don’t think humans are equipped to manage any number of drugs were they to be made legal (or not illegal) … Read more
We’ve done more scientific reporting on CO2 “driven” Sea Level Rise fraud than anyone in New Hampshire, perhaps all of New England (and then some). Even NOAA has admitted there’s no connection. But grifters gonna grift. COP29 and every COP before it existed to launder money from Western nations to whoever else they think needs … Read more
Emergency situation in Atkinson today! Calling all patriots!!! A library trustee has demanded that all trustees wear masks today at the 4:30 meeting because she is “immunocompromised.” Please come support the lone trustee who refuses to wear a mask by showing up at the meeting at Kimball Library whether or not you’re a town resident. … Read more
New Hampshire passed a law that sorts students in school sports by biological sex. Two students who are boys and identify as girls were given a legal exception as part of their lawsuit against the state, claiming that the bill is discriminatory. Regular readers will know well that they are not the only ones playing … Read more
A ‘few years back,’ some ‘experts’ got busted for talking about how to hide declining temperatures. They were protecting the fake climate consensus by manipulating data and keeping challenging research out of the science journals. The earth wasn’t cooperating, and their funding was at risk. We spend exponentially more on the climate lie than we … Read more
You’ve seen the commercials. They feature once great or at least well-known personalities pitching insurance … or adult diapers. It was the sort of ad you used to see late at night, sandwiched between the psychic hotline and those girls who were up late too and just wanted to talk (for however many dollars per … Read more
Thursday night, the Town of Warren, New Hampshire, is having an emergency meeting to deal with an emergency. The third-party ambulance service they use has announced that it needs a pile of money to keep operating, and if it doesn’t get it, Warren and Wentworth will lose their Ambulance services. Nearby towns say they will … Read more
How the FDA arrives at Emergency Use Authorization isn’t likely the mystery we think it is. Money and influence peddling would be my top two followed by corruption and or promises of “good Paying” jobs in the Pharmaceutical Industry – better than what they get on the side working at the FDA. We shall learn … Read more
We haven’t had much to say about the current Democratic National Committee chair. His name is Jaime Harrison, and the only reference I can find on our pages does not even use his name. I’m sure he’s convinced that’s because he’s black, but I didn’t even know he was black until he brought it up. … Read more
The Judge dismissed one charge, and the jury found Daniel Penny not guilty of the other. A Manhattan jury on Dec. 9 acquitted Daniel Penny of criminally negligent homicide over the death of Jordan Neely, a mentally ill homeless man whom Penny put in a chokehold and wrestled to the ground on a subway in … Read more
Granite Staters have been celebrating another number one. No, it’s not the lowest tax burden, the safest state, or the lowest poverty level, though it consistently ranks best (or one of the best) for those. It is economic freedom, and New Hampshire is number one again—not just in the US but in all of North … Read more
Once the electors have had their say and Congress has certified those results, that person, whoever they are, is the president of the United States. That fact has people wondering what the blob has planned to keep either from elevating Mr. Trump back into the Oval Office. It’s quiet. Too quiet, as they say. It … Read more
The now infamous Fani Willis has avoided a Freedom of Information Act request to turn over any communication between her office, the J6 Committee, and Jack Smith. Judicial Watch filed the request in March of this year, Willis and company pretended it did not exist. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney was not pleased. … Read more
Pennsylvania’s sometimes here, sometimes not US Senator, John Fetterman, has had a fascinating journey. His inability or refusal to wear a suit in the US Senate prompted the leadership to soften the dress code so he could show up in sweatshorts and hoodies. I’m a big fan of the look, but even the US Senate … Read more
Governor-Elect Ayotte ran successfully on a slogan we put on shirts, mugs, stickers, and barware: “Don’t Mass up New Hampshire.” Her campaign’s take was slightly different, and on the whole, neither is original. Granite Staters have been mumbling about Massholes (I suspect) for as long as there’s been a Union. More so, since the cradle … Read more
I was reading the latest from a fellow Grok contributor, John Klar, about food. He has a great Substack I both recommend and follow here. The question is whether the USDAs new food guidelines – they are revamping them again – are going to make us fatter and sicker or heathier. It has often been argued that past “food … Read more
In what has become a perennial waste of time, New Hampshire House Democrats have placed yet another Legislative Service Request (LSR) “prohibiting possession of a firearm at a polling place.” This year’s popular blonde (with a penis and five o’clock shadow) is 2025-0360. Its sponsors are Timothy Horrigan, Suzanne Vail, David Meuse, Jodi Newell, Loren Selig Last year’s effort, … Read more
