If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it hundreds of times: When the government interferes in the marketplace, bad things happen. Minimum wage mandates are not the least of these worries, but meddlers will meddle and, in the face of facts, still think they know better.

The Canadian Cancer Society is a Bunch of “Front Holes”
You’ll likely have heard that the Canadian Cancer Society had to apologize for using the word ‘cervix’ in the context of cancer screenings for … (get this) cervical cancer. [Hit it, Greta!]. The problem? They didn’t want to alienate men from getting the screenings.
New Hampshire Library Forced To Admit it Violated Employees First Amendment Rights

Sununu Bragging Rights: Our Electric Rates Only Went Up 30% While I was Governor

Pine Tree Flag “Protest”- Nashua City Hall: Pics and Video
To get you up to speed, Beth Scaer applied to fly the Pine Tree Flag on the Citizens Pole in front of the Nashua City Hall. Her petition was denied, as was her appeal to the mayor.

UN Secretary General Thinks You are an Earth Killing Meteor
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is not shy about who he thinks is to blame for the UN not raising enough revenue. It’s you. His NGO allies, friendly governments, and corporatist allies are all in desperate need of more cash. To get it, more of it, he is comparing you to an earth-killing meteor.
Night Cap: Did The EU Just Make the Net-Zero Transition Illegal?
The European Union’s (EU) cabal of meddling ministers has passed a resolution “requiring firms and their upstream and downstream partners, including supply, production and distribution, to prevent, end or mitigate their adverse impact on human rights and the environment.”
What If Statewide Candidates Need to Win a Majority of Counties Instead of Votes to Get Elected?
What if a candidate for statewide office needed to win a majority of counties? Each county is decided by its popular vote, and a majority of counties won in the state determine the victor—a form of Federalism at the state level.
The Jabbernaughts Will Do Anything to Protect the Right to Mandates
There is growing excitement about a recent 9th Circuit Court ruling in which the case was remanded to the lower court. The Court cited the plaintiff’s claims that the COVID-19 vaccine is a therapeutic (not a vaccine that prevents spread), and as such, the infamous Smallpox decision in Jacobson v. Massachusetts cannot apply.
Night Cap: Divided We Fall
The notion that we are a land divided isn’t something surprising to most of our readers. They see it and accept that it is a deliberate act by the political establishment, with the understanding that they (the uniparty) are dividing us to cement their ongoing rise to power.
Someone Poisoned Tractor Supply’s Watering Hole …
Every June, we learn things we didn’t want to know about businesses to whom we regularly give our customs—bastions of what we assumed to be common sense and Christian values or – at the very least – sensibly neutral enough to avoid divisive political fads. Just sell your wares and stay out of crazy town.
Mistrial? – Trump Verdict Announced in Facebook Post a Day Before the Actual Verdict (Ruh Roh!)

Not Sure How I Missed This Ridiculous Thing – “Ms. Monopoly”

Of Course, Vermont Has an Unconstitutional Religious Test
Have you ever seen someone you used to know whom you thought was put together well? Then you run into them years later, and they look like they just gave up. That’s Vermont.
Housekeeping: …
Sorry for the lack of warning about dropping the Comment of the Week again—it is temporary. I was busy and lost track of it last week, making it unlikely I’d get things in order in time for (last) Monday Morning.
Night Cap: Solar Panels Are Getting Exponentially Less Green By Leaps and Bounds
Solar was never green. The lifecycle footprint from manufacture to transportation, installation, and end of life is top-heavy, with materials and processes that produce a lot of pollution. That was true before China captured most of the market.
It’s Almost Okay To Admit That the Response To COVID Killed Some People
The experts have been reluctantly niggling at the edges of the truth for a while. The COVID vaccine wasn’t as safe or effective. The Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions didn’t do anything useful and might have done harm (and no one knows whose ideas they were to begin with). Oh, and post-vaccine, an awful lot of people died.
Media Jumps The Shark With Early Hurricane Hysteria
June 1st marked the beginning of hurricane season in the Atlantic basin. As we reported previously, everyone has been saying how warm the water is and appears desperate to see some storms. They were so desperate that on June 1st, the news was that they were tracking five tropical waves. FIVE!
Mayor Refuses to Fly “Pro-Trans” Flag in Front of City Hall
I think we’ve been going about this all wrong. People “on our side” keep asking to fly flags in front of city hall and getting rejected, which hints at unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination. The City just rejected a revolutionary-era flag.
