Just days before Biden’s catastrophic debate debacle on CNN, his surgeon general, Vivek Murthy, issued an announcement. Gun violence is a public health threat. I’d call it a logistical move, but almost no one noticed, and before the Friday News Dump arrived, Joe’s “performance issues” were all anyone wanted to discuss. Murthy’s grand gesture got … Read more
One of the fun things about science is if you allow it to happen, questioning theory, inquiry, data, analysis, and observation, the results tend to destroy the scientism peddled by the proglodytes. Who doesn’t want to do that? It’s fun. They get all spittley and hysterical and then call you names like denier. Yes. I … Read more
I was never likely to buy a Hybrid vehicle – too expensive -but if you put that idea in the perspective of an energy transition, that would have been the only way to begin. Transition suggests a phasing in or out. What we got instead was an all-electric Vehicle vanguard. Push combustion engine vehicles off … Read more
America had effectively irradicated a wide range of diseases more common in the second and third world, at least until the age of Barry Obama. He used his phone and pen to flood the United States with “refugees,” the opposition of which was deemed xenophobic or racist. The Caravans came, Barry built cages for children, … Read more

As predicted by Mark Halprin a few days ago and reported by us here, Biden will drop out by Sunday. And so he has. National Review reporting. Biden posted a statement on X, declaring his intention to drop out of the presidential race after seemingly having decided that he is not the Democratic Party’s best candidate to defeat … Read more
The Massachusetts legislature just passed sweeping firearms reform legislation- a tossed salad of failed progressive interventions in the name of public safety. According to GOAL [Gun Owners Action League], the bill “essentially bans all semi-automatic firearms”, or at least long guns, by adding a “shroud” to the two-feature test that’s used to determine if a … Read more
The Burlington Police Department and the public met at City Hall on Thursday afternoon to share information and solutions regarding how to curb increased crimes in The Queen City.

Last year, a Tennessee law was overturned for being overly vague. The law banned performances featuring strippers or men dressed as women in locations where children could view them. The State of Tennessee appealed to the Sixth Circuit, which came to a very different conclusion. The drag queens who sued to overturn the law as … Read more
I admit to being suspicious. Tractor Supply went woke, and within weeks, after a public pressure campaign, they relented. No more of that DEI or woke culture stuff for them. Two weeks later, we learn that John Deere went woke, too. Another pressure campaign rises, and in short order, they announce, what? We’re sorry, we’ll … Read more
There’s not much we can say about Thomas Crooks. He is the invisible 20-year-old with no internet history, nothing on his phone, and no social media footprint. The FBI is reported to have cracked his laptop, but there’s no “there” there. They have no idea who this guy is. After three days, an enigmatic portrait … Read more
The New Hampshire Legislature put several pro-women, pro-child, and pro-parent bills on Governor Chris Sununun’s desk this session. This is an accomplishment, given the razor-thin Republican majority, participation (attendance) issues inherent in a true citizen legislature, and defections on key bills. We always want and expect more, but then we must. Expectations matter, and there … Read more

The second requires sports in schools to be divided by biological sex. Get more background on HB619 here and HB1205 here. Top surgery is not prohibited, so HB619 is an incremental step in … Read more
Whoever is running the Biden Administration took the Houthis in Yemen off the terrorist group watch list in early 2021. “In exchange, the Houthis continued to recruit child soldiers, bomb airports, and kill civilians – they even raided the US Embassy in Yemen before the year was out.” The chaos continued until Feb of 2024 when … Read more
Maybe COVID made him reconsider his 2024 run for president? I’m not seeing much more on this yet, but we’ve been saying it for a while now. He was never gonna make it (Jill must be pissed). So, speculation? If this is accurate (and it’s not confirmed), who are the other three, and does any … Read more
Regular readers caught the post yesterday about the heat in New England and how – it’s been hotter, but it is still hot. If you have a pool, you’re in it, and if you happen to be living or vacationing on a beach, that water is a much sought-after relief, unless you’re in Nantucket. Debris … Read more
Many of us woke to the conspiracy theory-worthy news that someone bet big against the future of Donald Trump ‘days’ before some kid tried to blow his head off. My natural reaction was that this was way too obvious a move but not beyond the pale, so I looked for more details. So, on July … Read more
We’ve had a hot streak in my corner of the world. High eighty or low ninety-degree days in succession are always a blast (of heat). Thankfully, the nights have been in the low seventies, which is cool enough to afford sleeping with a fan in the window. I’m fine with any number of hot days … Read more
In the wake of all the “you know what that went on, “you know where,” involving “you know who,” card-carrying members of the Order of Intellectual Misfits (digital street Dems) have been high-fiving each other over their clever comparisons to Gretchen Whitmer’s attempted abduction or Paul Pelosi getting attacked, as proof “MAGA” people don’t really … Read more
