If you missed my monthly 4th Wednesday chat with Jeff Chidester on his Morning Update, it was top-heavy with liberal triggers absent the warnings. Typically, the night before, and in some cases, the morning of, we agree on a few topics for the segment. Not much warning or planning, which makes it interesting for both … Read more
If you have any doubts about whether a minority of radicals can consume a movement to the degree that it drives the bus, and drives it over its own moderates, you could look at history. Islam, the National Socialist (NAZI) Party in Germany, the Bolsheviks. Cuba right before Castro, China before Mao, and the American … Read more
If college should be free, then colleges should offer education for the low, low price of zero dollars. If health care is a right, then doctors and nurses should work for nothing. But you can’t do that? How will they pay for the stuff they need to do the work, even if it’s free? My … Read more
Comedian Jeff Dunham got a lot of mileage out of portraying his cranky, cantankerous Walter as Joe Biden. He just put aviators on him. Biden gave him all sorts of material; all he had to do was regurgitate it. I wonder if he could transition Walter into Bernie Sanders. The VT Senator is a cranky … Read more

Someone asked me about the weird light outside in the afternoon. It was yellow-orange, almost as weird as the light during a partial lunar eclipse. Wildfire smoke, I said. What’s the problem? They asked. Progressives, I reminded. Just like California, Canada has long been under Left-Wing rule. It’s a new problem created by an old … Read more
I think what I found most amazing about this story is where it started. No, not Australia, although that’s where the author of the piece behind it started. She’s from there, moved here, and she’s running a Women’s gun rights group. Awesome, but I said amazing. The Concord Monitor ran her op-ed on July 9th. … Read more

To be fair, this isn’t the first example in which AG John Formella got the Judicial system to agree with his disastrous interpretation of New Hampshire’s Civil Rights Act. Frank Hobbs took his “feelings” out on someone’s pride sign, and the State decided it was a hate crime. There’s no such thing, but if Judges … Read more
I get a lot of email. You’ll have heard that before. We get lots of stuff, and I’ve been more than public about how much stuff and how we can only ever use some of it. Time constraints, bandwidth, interest. Every now and again, someone likes to send some insight into how much they dislike … Read more
You can never tell with District Court judges. Even after SCOTUS suggests it would be inappropriate for a tiny judge in a tiny pond to cast orders with national effect, they keep doing it. And I know, I’m singing to the choir on the judge problem. The left goes shopping. Finds one willing to do … Read more
I was messing with rich kid Stefany Shaheen on X the other day. She posted some left-Wing talking points about defunding ICE (or someone did using her name). I responded with three examples of criminal aliens, rape, murder, and so on, who would still be in America without ICE. There are tens of thousands of … Read more
Has anyone noticed the proglodytes bringing their kids to bars and strip clubs or helping them pick out a glossy porn mag at the local (wherever you can buy those these days)? Have ’em grab a fifth and some smokes and off to the playground. No? Probably not. Those are all illegal, whether you think … Read more

Following on my earlier post, Dems-n-Energy, I bring you another fake concern of the left that could be addressed, at least in part and almost immediately, if the Dems tried this one easy thing. In Dems-n-energy, it was the price of energy. Here, we’re talking education costs, which are the single greatest driver of high … Read more
Wherever you happen to be sitting as you read this, energy prices probably matter. In the United States or out, yes – we have readers in nearly every country on the planet, how much it costs to heat, cool, cook, and live in the 21st century turns on the cost of the energy necessary to … Read more
One of the underappreciated nuances of the anti-racism movement (the pro-white racism is blatant, not nuanced) is how everything that movements like BLM stand on assumes blacks are criminals. Calm down. I understand that the point they are trying to sell is that blacks get framed, and if there were fewer cops, they’d be less … Read more
Chasity Bono used to drop by the variety show because she was a super cute little girl, and pets and small children (especially if they are not yours and you can walk away from them or give them back) are a big draw (marketing-wise). Chastity had an addadicktomy and became Chaz Bono, not so cute, … Read more
