Is Apeel Safe?

In April of 2023, somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight, the internet did that thing it does. A Product Safety Datasheet for a cleaning product was associated with the new and mysterious Gates Industrial Complex food coating Apeel. I debunked it (or tried) because one of the services we like to think we provide … Read more

Something You Can Use All The Way Down the Ballot

It is important to frame your political opponents in an unfavorable light. Just ask a Democrat. They’ve been doing it so well, and for so long, most of their base is incapable of speaking a single truth about Donald Trump because they don’t know any. Republicans, we hope, are more nuanced and able to engage … Read more

So, It’s Okay to Attack Republicans, Then?

For all the prattle about Reagan’s 11th Commandment and despite months of seemingly endless exhortations not to attack Republicans in this election cycle, when it comes down to it, State Senate Republicans are more interested in entrenched power. Emily Phillips is challenging Senator Gannon in a primary, and the Republican State Senate PAC appears willing … Read more

Pease Development Authority – No Bid Contract

I have been independently investigating the Pease Development Authority – Division of Ports and Harbors [PDA-DPH] regarding decisions and process issues that I believe are unfair and discriminatory and appear to violate New Hampshire state law. This matter was brought to my attention by a Rye Harbor fisherman who had concerns that the one business … Read more

If Speech is Violence, What is Silence, Again?

With few exceptions, college campuses are America’s least intellectually diverse places. If not for the federal takeover of student loans, which has laundered billions into the hands of progressive experts, that might matter, as they feel the same pinch as local print-news media—another vestigial cultural affectation we no longer need. You can get news – … Read more

There’s No Path to Parity for Transwomen and Women In Sports

Fitness guru and biological woman Jillian Michaels took to her webspace this week, publishing a long and well-thought-out treatise on the problem of allowing men to compete against women in professional sports—any sports, really, whether they’ve had their hormones blocked or their bodies altered. Sports performance is determined by a host of physiological components: musculoskeletal … Read more

Kyle Rittenhouse “Shoots” Himself In the Foot

We haven’t heard much from Kyle Rittenhouse since he was exonerated in his self-defense case. The Democrats tried to make an example of him, and he more than survived the process. Rittenhouse has a book with his name on it. He has 1.2 million followers on X, and I expect he’s doing a lot more … Read more

Teen Girl ‘Transitioned’ From Healthy to Paralyzed after Transgirl Brained her with a Volleyball

We may have missed an opportunity here. Transition. Great word. To change from one form, state, style, or place to another. Public education transitioned from teaching kids reading and math to making them mentally dysphoric political activists. Democrats transitioned the American economy from a private-sector job-creating energy-independent machine into the geo-economic equivalent of Dementia Joe … Read more

Are You Judging Me?

Have you ever had someone look at you and you think to yourself, they’re judging me? Well, of course, they are. We all do that. It’s part of the natural process of prejudice that defines us, and I don’t mean the narrowed modern definition. Prejudice informs your habits, preferences, and personal safety. It keeps you … Read more

Dancing With Bruen and Heller

News broke yesterday over the mercury fields of New Jersey that a Federal judge had thrown out part of the state’s “assault weapons” ban. U.S. District Judge Peter G. Sheridan issued an order on July 30 declaring that including the Colt AR-15 rifle on the list of firearms defined in the New Jersey Code of … Read more

The Man Behind Joe and Kamala’s Curtain

Even members of the population with no clue or little interest in pop culture know what “pay no attention to the man behind the curtain” means. Oz, the great and all-powerful, is a white-haired man running a secret but terror-inducing machine. Barry Obama’s hair is turning white, and it is more or less confirmed that … Read more

Heavy Metal Dark Chocolate Bugaloo

It is impossible not to write clickbait headlines … sometimes. And that’s not because there are not a lot of reasons to use them. It seems that people, despite their dislike, can’t NOT click on them. Maybe the same way you can’t NOT look at a road accident you are passing contributing to the rubber-necker … Read more
