Most of us grew up with stories about earthquakes in California. At some point, you may have heard that a big piece of it might fall into the ocean because of where the fault lines are. Fifty years later, the English Standard has not been replaced by metric. But California still has earthquakes, and not … Read more
Atlantic Hurricane Season peaks in August and September, but we were warned as early as the spring. It will be a very active season, and I bought into that. It’s been a long time coming. We’re due. The Atlantic water is warm (boiling, depending on who you ask), and we have this La Nina thing … Read more
A Judge in New York has posed an interesting problem for Democrats in New Hampshire. Democrats, everywhere. She has ruled that a room rented by Independent Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. disqualifies him from the State Ballot. It’s not good enough. New York Justice Christina L. Ryba concluded in a 34-page decision that the … Read more
Almost everyone in New Hampshire knows about The Claremont Decisions. The courts decided they were legislators and could determine what adequate school funding was about. More recently, they’ve been at it again. The ConVal ruling (Contoocook Valley School District v. State of New Hampshire) tells the legislature to amp up school funding despite the absence … Read more
Friday, news broke that a transgirl who had been working so hard at summer soccer had been denied a spot on the girl’s team because those evil Republicans passed a bill that sorts sports by birth sex. Her parents are not just suing; they are asking the court to stay the law while the case … Read more
New Hampshire residents will understand when Nantucket resident Pat McEvoy says the Feds jammed green energy (offshore wind) down their throats and that “We were not represented in this process.” Development in the Gulf of Maine has been fast-tracked thanks to State Senator David “This will look good on my resume” Watters. Dead whales didn’t stop it. … Read more
Former Democrat State Senator Jeff Woodburn has been back in the news for trying to dodge a 30-day stint in stir. That was not (it seems) enough drama for him. He took a little trip to Maine, where he coincidentally found himself within shouting distance of his former fiancé. The woman whose arm he bit, … Read more
There is a movement afoot to keep the distraction of cell phones out of classrooms, and it is rare these days of division. People and politicians on both sides are lining up to take action on a shared goal. Make Cell phone use in the classroom a thing of the past. Last year, Florida passed … Read more
It never ceases to amaze me how deaf some people are to their own rhetoric. Take Sanford, Maine, Mayor Becky Brink. As part of a consolidation plan to take the city from three polling places to one, she expressed some concerns about one location in particular. The move to consolidate the polling locations was purportedly … Read more
Dwayne Johnson seems like a nice enough guy, and he acts, so that might be all it is, but is he nice enough to give six million dollars back to the US Army? They “hired” him and the United Football League (The Rock is part owner) for 11 million dollars to help the Army increase … Read more
At the end of July, the Vermont State Supreme Court issued a decision on a lawsuit brought by parents whose grade-school child had been injected with a dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 ‘vaccine’ against their will. According to the school, the six-year-old was inoculated in error, for which they apologized, but the parents sued them … Read more
Every State is going to have its share of people who don’t care for the governor, some more than others. Since it’s an election year and the Democrats have anointed one as vice president, focusing on Minnesota seems appropriate. Walz is not popular there, but it is still deep blue Minessota, so any pushback has … Read more
It has become something of a ritual. The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) issued yet another ‘report’ warning about accelerating sea level rise along the New Hampshire coast, and the local media parrots it without question. It happens every few years, and wouldn’t you know, we’ve been around to report on it. “Back in 2016, … Read more
Forty years ago, give or take, the State of Maine created a program whose purpose was to create a slush fund to provide legal services to people who could not afford them. Interest earned on Lawyer’s Trust fund accounts (IOLTA) is pooled, and the fund is dispersed to pay for lawyers fees. The Maine Justice … Read more
Did you read any of the recent doom and gloom about the Peterman Glacier? It’s doing something glaciers have always done: calving. The media made a big deal about it earlier this year, squawking about accelerated melt due to warming ocean water. That must also be why it has added ten miles to its length … Read more
Dan Bongino, a former Secret Service Agent for Presidents George W. Bush and Obama, was responsible for securing a plethora of POTUS events here and abroad. On his daily podcast (Episodes 2305 and 2303), Dan has been on a rampage concerning criminally negligent incompetent (or was it worse?) preparation and conduct at the Butler, Pennsylvania, … Read more
The details are behind a paywall, but according to Morning Consult, Vermont Governor Phil Scott has an 81 percent approval rating. Did they poll people who don’t live in Vermont, or, more likely, he’s seen sympathetically as an abused spouse? Scott is a victim, like them, of the immovable object that is Vermont’s current veto-proof … Read more
Yes, another trip to the Russel Brand Podcast well, but with good reason. He recently shared a clip from an interview with David Martin that includes things we must keep public, present, and current. The global elites engineered, planned, and deployed the China Virus deliberately to advance a well-laid plan for the acceptance of a … Read more
“There was a Shepherd Boy who tended his sheep at the foot of a mountain near a dark forest. It was lonely for him, so he devised a plan to get a little company. He rushed down towards the village calling out “Wolf, Wolf,” and the villagers came out to meet him. This pleased the … Read more
Stop me if you’ve heard this one. A political party opposed to mass immigration and inflationary economic policy in Germany has been cited as ineligible to possess firearms for illegal and unconstitutional activities. I know which way to go with this one. Are inflation and mass immigration constitutional? They must be. At the same time, … Read more
