California bleeds money, so it needs jackpot justice to line the bottomless pit into which it tosses taxpayer dollars. Exxon-Mobile is a big target that should be hard to miss, but the Left Coast’s environmental action has consistently failed to deliver. Exxon-Mobile has better lawyers and arguments but addiction doesn’t countenance common sense so Cali … Read more
One of the earliest memorable advertising campaigns for robbing you blind to “fix” the climate depicted a polar bear perched on a sliver of sea ice. The tiny island getaway was getting away from where we were told it belonged and taking the polar bears with it. The bears have outlasted that narrative, as they … Read more
I’d never heard of this loser until today. His name is Misah Pride (sounds made up to me). He is the mayor of South Portland. It’s across the Fore River from North Portland. It is safer than the way Joyce Craig left Manchester, NH (most cities are), is mostly white, picked Biden over Trump in … Read more
[Update] One of the more clumsy ways to get more detail about a situation is to share what you know or have been told “to get it out there.” That worked. Quite a bit of new information has come my way since this was published, and I will write a follow-up in the coming days. … Read more
The annual ritual is upon us. Like the arrival of autumn, the state selects one out of the thousands of likely candidates for prosecution as a patsy to charge with illegal voting. It is a dog and pony show. Look, see; we prosecute illegal voting (which we are otherwise told never happens). WMUR – Joshua … Read more
Activists concerned with the completed ballot chain of custody and security issues in New Hampshire met with the Secretary of State’s Office earlier this week. At the meeting, they reviewed inconsistencies between towns when securing ballots after elections, the tape’s efficacy, and the taping procedures used to prevent tampering. The sense I got from conversations … Read more
The AWS Data Lake makes it easy to combine a lot of data from different sources in a way that is secure, scalable, and quick. It’s meant to make analytical processing easier to use, so you can easily deal with big data. Even though the big data industry is always changing, the ideas in this … Read more
New York Mayor Eric Adams was indicted on bribery and foreign influence charges today. While innocent until proven guilty, bear in mind what has been happening in New Hampshire with bribery and elections: Mayor Jim Bouley of Concord was paid to lobby for Marsy’s Law, for which Concord City Council Member Amanda Grady Sexton was … Read more
For those who might still be following the tale of former New Hampshire State Senator Jeff Woodburn’s effort to avoid serving jail time, that story has come to a close. Mr. Woodburn was commanded to appear in court to be ordered to serve his time and escorted out in handcuffs yesterday. Mr. Woodburn’s wild ride … Read more
Bill Gates probably recognizes that productive expressions, whether physical, intellectual, or verbal, are the vehicles by which acquiring property is possible. And Bill would undoubtedly argue that he is entitled to that property. But he has a weird (dare I say, global) view of the benefits of free speech – which is essential to that … Read more
I’m not sure if Bangor, Maine, has a Haitian population or an unusual number of homeless who heard the news in Springfield and decided to give it a try, but twenty domesticated house cats have gone missing, sixteen in just the last two months. Animal Control Officer for the Bangor Police Department Trisha Bruen told … Read more
This is more of an information access post than a commentary. Sometimes, you need to secure something in the public domain, just in case. The recently released court documents include revelations that may never find their way into mass media. They’d rather not be reminded that Routh is one of them and was inspired by … Read more
A centrally controlled digital currency is a red flag to anyone devoted to privacy and individual liberty. ‘Grok friend Aaron Day ran for president as a platform to warn people about CBDC and the threat it represents to liberty. Once your money can be monitored, controlled, and censored by the government, that ties into social … Read more
Two dads were banned from sporting events and school property for wearing pink wristbands with two Xs drawn on each. They said they were showing support for girl’s sports. The District decided they were disruptive, removed them, and instituted no-trespassing orders. In response, scores of parents and interested parties showed up to today’s game in … Read more
If you are in the business of selling vaccines or collecting kickbacks for moving product, then the next best thing to the COVID injectables appears to be the Monkey Pox Jab. What is it, exactly? Well, it is an actual vaccine. Great, but new research suggests it only provides (whatever protection it offers) for a … Read more
Just days after we reported on ads running in Michigan to sway the Muslim vote away from Democrats (7 days, to be exact), a prominent Michigan Democrat Mayor who happens to be Muslim has endorsed Donald Trump for President. Mayor Ghalib’s endorsement is making waves. Michigan is home to one of the most significant Muslim … Read more
It is nearly impossible to find literature on politics or American culture that doesn’t equate some totalitarian forms as right-wing. And while that was fine when the spectrum was a circle – you could put Hitler and Mussolini next to Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Bernie, and Kamal Harris- it has since been laid on a straight … Read more
If you are a fiscally conscious voter, we have some good news. Recent research by the Manhattan Institute suggests that border jumpers (no duh! moment approaching) represent a significant cost to taxpayers that their deportation would alleviate. The complete unroll is impressive (look here), but the gist is that the cost of illegal immigration is … Read more
The otherwise intolerant and intolerable State of Massachusetts amended its firearms laws over the summer. It might have been the heat (more likely the lawsuits) that inspired them, but they managed to cough up H4885, “An Act modernizing firearm laws.” Aside from being an overly long mess, it allows nonresidents to travel through the state armed … Read more
Bow-Dunbarton School Superintendent Ms. Marcy Kelley, fresh off polishing her jackboots on the reputation of one local dad who supports girls’ sports, has taken down another. Kyle Fellers got “the letter” with the School Administrative unit letterhead telling him, in essence, he’s not the sort of person they want around. He’s been banned from all … Read more
