Democrats are not being adequately held accountable for the side effects of policies they not only support but defend. While the economy is high on everyone’s list, their border and migration policy is far more devastating. And I’m not talking about eating other people’s pets – which – as an aside, is, in fact, something … Read more
Snow was one of the early casualties of the Global Warming, but when snow refused to play along, they changed it to climate change. The climate is constantly changing and sometimes, in some places, more dramatically than others. Like this! It can snow any month of the year here in Montana, but what’s going on … Read more
Eastern Equine Encephalitis is nasty but rare. The fatality rate varies, depending on who you cite, but this 2023 paper puts it at around 30%. A more significant number of those infected suffer neurological damage that does not result in death. When a case pops up, people get antsy, with good reason. A 41-year-old NH … Read more
A local High school banned parents from attending games for wearing pink wristbands with two Xs. The school reportedly stopped the game and had them escorted out. [W]hen several parents showed up to watch Tuesday night’s soccer game between Bow and Plymouth Regional High School wearing pink armbands as symbols of support for girls-only sports, … Read more
America is unique for many reasons, not the least of which is its First Amendment. No nation codifies a right to free speech as protected from government regulation the way we do. Thou Shalt not (Thou, being the government) make laws abridging the freedom of speech or the press. It’s quite encompassing, as is the … Read more
The machine media has tried to hide the worst of the problems stemming from the Biden-Harris open borders (Plus!) policy. Stories about crime, rape, murder, and other mayhem, when reported, may leave out certain demographic details that would make that situation look worse. But what do you do when a guy speaking about a city … Read more
You might not be interested in posts about the Atlantic hurricane season, but you should. It is a pillar of the climate cult mythology to justify political tyranny. The whole project is economic, disguised behind scientism, and operates like a religion. And their prophets are lousy prognosticators. They get nothing right, but this year’s Atlantic … Read more
Gov. Nuisance has made it illegal in California to knowingly distribute “an ad or other election communications that contain materially deceptive content.” This will result in lawsuits, not just because much of what Gavin’s water carriers put out there would violate his law. It is unconstitutional, so there’s that, but I get it. The technology … Read more
I think you should be nice to people right up until they start trying to take your property or your natural rights. Race, sex, weight, height, faith, you know, the demographic drill. Even liking all the wrong sports teams makes no difference. Be nice. At the very least, be neutral. Agree to disagree. Don’t call … Read more
Something we could learn from inter-war Europe is that democracy led to dictatorship. Put differently, the inability to make it work, or the deliberate undermining of its mechanisms, moved the people from a government at least principally designed to answer to the people into one where the people demanded a strong enough excuse to foment … Read more
The Biden Administration is in a mad rush to get offshore wind leases sold just in case Klimate Kamala blows it, loses in November, and the violent uprisings that would follow that don’t result in a change they can believe in. BOEM, the Bureau of Ocean and Energy Management, has announced the sale of leases … Read more
New Hampshire had only one recount following the state primary on September 10th. The election day difference was two votes. Ultimately, the outcome did not change, but the victory was reduced to one vote. This is not a reason to write a post with this headline, but the recount process revealed some problems. I’d like … Read more
Who says Democrats don’t have a sense of humor? It appears they do. A chant erupted spontaneously at a Tim Walz Event in Michigan Last week. Walz asked the crowd if anyone had “eating cats” on their bingo card, presumably in response to the alleged events in Springfield, Ohio—and this happened. From Chicks on the … Read more
I’ve never been much of a fan of celebrity endorsements. While newsworthy or worthy of scorn (aged-out former stars selling adult diapers or life insurance), unless they’ve actually got some expertise, they’re just some people who did something (for money) regardless of what they’ve endorsed. Taylor Swift knows how to make money in the music … Read more
Citizen activists interested in improving voter confidence in New Hampshire have requested they be part of any formal effort to test and verify the efficacy of the current process for taping up and securing completed ballots. The problem: ballots are to be secured but the tape recommended by the state does not consistently (or at … Read more
Muslims and Arabs tend to vote Democrat. I happen to think it is because they are both political religions with totalitarian aspirations. They both run the same way and pretend to be friends until there can be only one. The Left’s cultural agenda is incompatible with Islam, as is their pretending to love Israel, an … Read more
All this talk of Democracy got me thinking about what it means. The consensus among the center-right is that it represents mob rule. Fifty-plus-one pick the power brokers who may do whatever they please to everyone at their expense, with (presumably) 49.9 percent being less happy about it than the rest. Another common conception of … Read more
The Babylon Bee strikes again. PHILADELPHIA, PA — Americans across the country breathed a sigh of relief this morning following breaking news that Vice President Kamala Harris had survived an attempted interview. The incident took place late yesterday afternoon during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania when a rogue reporter reportedly approached the vice president and … Read more
Even with their rigged data (suppressed past and elevated present), the summer of 2024 was not the hottest thing to ever happen to humans in America. Seven previous June-Aug contiguous terms were higher, including 1934 and 1936, the reigning number one and number two on record. The 2024 contiguous maximum three-month average was 86.56°. The … Read more
If your energy cult predicted more and stronger hurricanes, why exactly should we invest in and rely on an energy source that is susceptible to damage from them? That’s a good question, but it’s not supposed to make sense like most everything else in the climate change policy universe. Besides, the people in charge will … Read more
