I’ve been drinking coffee since I was six years old. I still drink it every day. Several cups. Nothing fancy. Regular coffee with a bit of French Vanilla creamer, but I can do regular cream, sugar, milk, iced. And yes, I like coffee ice cream. Stories about coffee tend to attract my attention.
HB1002 Passes The House: These Republicans Voted for a New “Tax” on Public Records Access (Update)
If you missed it, we are opposed to HB1002, which would charge citizens for access to public records and, in some instances, charge them a lot for information that is theirs. We find it offensive and an invitation for abuse by the municipalities whose indifference and inefficacy resulted in the bill.

Legislators Will Need to Screw Ratepayers a Bit Harder if They Want Offshore Wind
Blue State Governors have been scrambling to pad their resumes with whale-killing offshore wind projects on ocean-area “leased” by the Biden administration. But no amount of subsidies has made them even appear profitable, and caps on rates in at least one state have become a deal breaker.
The People Are Responding To The Border Crisis
We really should stipulate as to whether the millions of migrants that have crossed our Southern Border are a national crisis or the result of Joe Biden’s plan to destroy our sovereignty. The answer depends on which side of the political fence you live. The Left does not believe in borders or sovereignty, so to them, this wave of humanity is the new normal.
A “Gmail-Blocking-Our-Newsletter” Update, and Other Minor Housekeeping …
Gmail users and others who have similar issues might have a surprise in their inboxes by Monday. After a few misstarts, an issue with the process on the server side, and some clarification in a procedure (how it should really get done), updated instructions have been embedded in the system.
Night Cap: The Reality is, ‘We the People’ Live in a Fantasy World
The reality is that We, the People, live in a fantasy world and are under the assumption that everything will be all right. But it won’t be. Individual Americans are often outmanned and outgunned by the powerful globalists who are in charge. Lone Rangers win only in make-believe movies.
State Senator Melts Down After Learning She Can Only Vote Herself a 42% Pay Raise.
Voter anger over the VT Democrats 2023 bill to double their own pay and give themselves a generous benefits package on top has led to some backpedaling here in 2024. The latest version of the new pay raise bill would only give lawmakers a 42% pay raise (about $6000).
So, You Were Saying That Trans and Queer People Sexually Assault Children?
From the “pay no attention to the transman behind the curtain” file, we have this massive self-own from an individual who was concerned about a law in Florida that would allow the death penalty for those who sexually abuse children.
An Observers Account of The Election Process in Durham NH – You Can’t Trust The Results

A Different Take on a School Board That Voted to Hold Classes on Veterans Day and Columbus Day
A curious thing has happened in Stamford, Connecticut. The school board has voted 5-3 to make teachers who hate Columbus Day and Veterans Day but were getting paid to sit on their asses – work both days. The school will be open, and regular classes will commence.
Meme Overflow
As promised in Monday Memes, I have an overflow. And yes there will be a Friday edition too.
Biden Says “We Had A Rough Day”
Mr. President, with all due respect, is that the message you gave to the families of the three service people killed over the weekend? Or were you too busy resting in Delaware, and you might get to it this week? By the way, there were over thirty injured in the drone attacks, with what are called severe head injuries.
Are You On the List of Right Wing Extremists in New Hampshire (I Am! – And I’m in Excellent Company) [Updated]
This will probably go over well, but not in the intended manner. NH Democrat Jeanne Dietsch recently shared a link to a working list of what is called anti-democracy extremists in the Granite State. I see a lot of errors in the list, not the least of which will be the people who are not on it but would like to be.
Ireland: What Makes It The Best European Destination For Americans
Forget the American dream – try the Irish dream. It’s not exactly the most exotic place to visit, and you can be promised rain more than the sun. But the atmosphere, historical beauty, and iconic Irish charm will keep you going back for more.
The World Needs a Star
Why Elon Musk allowed Walter Isaacson 2 years of unfettered access and to write a biography that Musk did not in any way change is a mystery. It could be that Steve Jobs did the same and Musk felt a need to share his story similarly, but it does not matter.
We The Dying Should Decide, Not The Government
Contrary to several detractors, our “Live Free; Die Free” act (House Bill 1283) does not “legalize physician-assisted suicide”: it, in effect, simply removes a current law that prevents the dying from buying medicine that they want.
No Constitutional Right to Abortion in NH
On Thursday, February 1st, the Democrats in the New Hampshire House of Representatives will be attempting to put a right to abortion in the New Hampshire Constitution (CACR23), and we must stop them. We cannot make the destruction of children and women a right in the New Hampshire Constitution.
