The Jones Act “requires that all goods transported by water between U.S. ports be carried on ships that have been constructed in the United States and that fly the U.S. flag, are owned by U.S. citizens, and are crewed by U.S. citizens and U.S. permanent residents.” It was passed over 100 years ago as part … Read more
A Tennessee law banning the drugging and surgical mutilation of children (doing business as gender-affirming care) has gotten a lot of support from the other side during oral arguments. The lawyers representing the side trying to get the law tossed out didn’t arrive at the Big School prepared to answer the hard questions. The ones … Read more
Remember Seth Moulton? He of the church of the sudden change of heart. The Massachusetts Congressman did a complete 180 from pro-trans sports to keep the boys off the girls’ teams and his fellow Democrats have been howling ever since. It reminds me of how NH Dems responded to local Democrat Jonah Wheeler when he … Read more
A court case that began during Donald Trump’s first stint as the Commander in Chief has resulted in a favorable ruling just as he prepares for round two. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled unanimously that the federal government retains the authority to deport foreign nationals in the U.S. illegally, even over the … Read more
The Patch has a useful story today with details from the NH Attorney General’s Office. Holiday Scams are a problem, and they felt they should warn Granite Staters to be wary. Someone is pretending to be from law enforcement, telling marks they missed a court date and there is a warrant out for their arrest. … Read more
If you missed the memo, NH Bulletin is run by States Newsroom, a well-funded, national progressive project to advance approved narratives. It is a quasi-moderate Potemkin online village trying to shoehorn “right-thinking” Leftism into the collective consciousness. They are also a place to look for low-hanging fruit. Here’s the headline: “What’s next for abortion laws … Read more
The ever-hostile Sunny Hostin, race pimp and obscenely wealthy victim got some interesting news the other day. A deep dive into her ancestry uncovered an inconvenient truth. She is descended from Spanish Colonialists who owned slaves. Her ancestors were colonial invaders, and they kept black Africans as slaves. Feel free to cough up some of … Read more
COP 29 is history and could only agree to bribes totaling 300 billion a year. That’s the amount of extortion money Western nations agreed to cough up under the pretense that they own second and third-world nations’ reparations for climate change. Some of that is supposed to go toward helping shepherd them into cleaner energy … Read more
Governor Sununu is being sued as part of a wrongful arrest claim against him, and today, he was handed his summons to appear in court. The soon-to-be former governor is implicated along with the state police on seven counts, including violating citizens’ First, Fourth, Fifth, and Eighth Amendment rights. Nine citizens were arrested at an … Read more
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

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
