I was working on a long-form Substack post for Memorial Day, and as I was revisiting the history, something interesting occurred to me. The Civil War’s Decoration Day became Memorial Day, and one of the South’s pre-Civil War Concerns is similar to modern Americans’ current problems.
From the take the wins when you get them file, the World Health Organization has gone into its yearly meeting with health ministers absent any agreement on a global Pandemic Treaty.
The parent company that owns the Oreo empire, Mondelez, is being warned by the National Legal and Policy Center that its involvement with partisan political groups, specifically the LGBTQ pressure group PFLAG, is putting shareholder value at significant risk.
From the Democrats Actually Hate Women Files, Donovan Brown (dba: Veronica Garcia) won the Washington state championship in the girl’s 400m dash. He beat his second-place competitor by 3.25 Seconds.
If you wanted to try and encourage people to get more comfortable with the idea of digital-only currency, it might make sense to seed the landscape with stories about how dangerous it is to carry cash. Perhaps even water that landscape with a growing sense of desperation that leads to more crime.
Another seven calendar days have passed us by for good or ill. The world turns, the sun rises and sets, commenters comment, and I send you seven comments from which to choose this week’s winner.
A majority of the New Hampshire legislature thought it would be a good idea to allow local towns and cities to charge citizens for public documents. The (incorrect) presumption is that citizens are more likely to abuse RTK laws for Evil than local government.
A few days ago, we celebrated the near-death experience of HB1711. This incremental red flag law would open a door, or get the camel’s nose under the tent, to more intrusive versions in future legislative sessions. It was tabled in the NH Senate until Thursday, when ” Republican” Rep. Terry Roy attached it to another bill.
Kelly Ayotte’s waning years in the US Senate did not heap glory on the Republican Party unless you mean John McCain’s version of it. That is not meant to be flattery. McCain’s ‘final days’ included spreading the debunked Clinton Campaign opposition research to the media to undermine the elected president (which the IG confirmed).
As the session winds down, Reps can rest assured they will no longer have to suffer through these reports. Yes, it is another Republican House attendance report—our regular list of who missed roll call votes and how many.
Cloned meat, one of several names I’ve bandied about for Lab-grown meat (mystery meat is another), is not better for the environment, it is not better for people, and it is not the future of beef in America if actual Americans have anything to say.
We’re always looking for anything that will inform our readers and trigger the fragile snowflakes, and this clip might be just what the under-trained, ill-informed public school health clinic counselor ordered.
The left ‘hates’ fossil fuels the same way they ‘hate’ guns. They need them, you don’t. Fracking was a logical target because it produces the energy we need at prices everyone can afford. Killing it was a priority, and kill it they did, but new research suggests it might be a critical part of the supposed green energy transition.
The New Hampshire State Senate just passed (and I mean Just!) HB1093 AN ACT prohibiting mandatory mask policies in schools. “This bill prohibits school boards and other public education agencies from adopting, enforcing, or implementing a policy that requires students or members of the public to wear a facial covering.”
When a partisan faction committed to depopulation by other means openly admits that we’d be better off with fewer of us around, they mean it. Culling the wrong people out of the population has been a goal for over a century, and these social engineers openly support policies that prove it.
I picked seven possible winners, and you voted. This week’s comment of the week goes to Martina Vaslovik.
House Bill 1711 has been marketed as a sensible bipartisan compromise bill to keep firearms out of the hands of once lawful gun owners deemed mentally unfit. It passed the State House with the help of 25 Republicans, but the GOP Majority Senate held hands and tabled it last week.
We want to think we were out in front, telling Donald Trump to stop bragging about Operation Warp Speed. We were early adopters of the change in messaging (early 2021, I think). It didn’t stick then, but when I saw him speak in Claremont, New Hampshire, in Early November 2023, he wasn’t tooting any warp-speed horns.
You can feel it in the air (Phil Collins or Bernie Seigle?)—the promised energy of a heated Atlantic hurricane Season. The oceans are boiling, and we are overdue for an above-normal number of storms in the Atlantic Basin. This should be a banner year for storms.
