U.S.-India relations present a complex tapestry woven from the threads of shared interests and divergent values. While the two nations may not align perfectly in terms of values, there are compelling reasons to collaborate on common interests.

Is NASA Just Another Biden/Harris Social Justice Agency?
At an Aug. 14 news conference, NASA and other experts proclaimed that, according to “clear science,” current record-high temperatures are attributable to human activity.

Are They Really “Wildfires” if You Arrested 79 Arsonists for Starting Them?
The number of outdoor out-of-control fires set by arsonists worldwide could lead you to believe that there was a coordinated global eco-terrorist strategy to forcefully advance a false agenda about climate change. Man-made, sure, by arsonists.
What Does A President Look Like

Maui is Screaming for Tourists. May I Make a Suggestion?

Marxist States Never “Wither Away” as Marx Predicted
In this week’s column, I’d like to continue discussing Graham Priest’s unusual book Capitalism: Its Nature and Its Replacement.

Joe Says Put On Your Mask And Get Your Shot
No data exists, but that doesn’t stop the government from striving for power as the Blue states begin to roll out restrictions on all Americans.

EU Censorship Laws (To Prevent the Spread of ‘Harmful Content’) Went Into Effect Last Friday
Given that we can share the unvarnished truth ‘cuz America, I was (sort of, kind of) expecting our traffic to take a bit of a hit when the EU’s new censorship regime went into effect. Nothing yet, but we should note the globalists see this as a template for the world.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Is More In Tune With GOP Voters Than The Non-Trump Presidential Candidates
Of the many silly arguments the NeverTrump grifters bloviate, one of the silliest is that their candidates, unlike Trump, are electable. These NeverTrump grifters are, at best, delusional or, at worst, simply lying. Polls consistently show that GOP voters no longer support forever-wars … voters are savvy enough to understand that it’s Mitch McConnell’s inflation … Read more
If You Want To Know What the Left Would Do to America, Pay Attention to What It Is Doing to Minnesota
If you want to know what the Left would do to America, pay attention to what it is doing to Minnesota.

Why the Establishment Can’t Solve the Trump “Problem”

Is Residential Solar Bad for the Environment?
One of my favorite Dalrymple quotes is (paraphrased) that misery will always rise to meet the government subsidies created to alleviate it. And so it is with residential solar. The number of installs near my home has exploded, as has another interesting habit.
Notable Quote – Another Adjective for “Transgender” is Narcissistic
Don’t believe me? Try this one on for size (reformatted, emphasis mine): In a turn of events, Shannon revealed after 14 years of marriage, her husband met someone online who led him through a “medical transition.” Her husband also lost interest in partaking in certain activities with their children that he previously enjoyed doing. Furthermore, Shannon … Read more
Carbon Scams on Fire!
Electric vehicles cost more to insure. Minor accidents can result in damage that makes the vehicle unsafe or unrepairable. A parking lot fender bender could “total” your so-called green vehicle. But that’s not the only insurance cost driving up the price of EV ownership.

How Charles Darwin (Probably) Destroyed the Traditional Family
I came across a fascinating book review this week. The book is “The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes” by Nancy Pearcey. It is loaded with insight, some of which you may have seen. The debunked point about Christian men being demeaning toward women comes from Pearcey’s research.

Interesting. I was actually scurrying around the NH Secretary of State site looking for something else (dang if I can remember now) when I thought this was what I wanted.
