Science “Unsettled” – Pot contributes to schizophrenia?

With large studies in peer-reviewed journals showing that marijuana increases the risk of psychosis and schizophrenia, the scientific literature around the drug is far more negative than it was 20 years ago.

NH Democrats Want to Allow Towns to Ban Straws and Plastic Bags

Durham NH fearmonger Judith Spang wants the legislature to allow towns like Durham and Portsmouth to ban plastic drinking straws or bags. Any town that wants to, actually. HB102 would add “the distribution of single-use plastics to consumers” to the list of things towns can regulate without deferring to the Legislature.

Rudy Giuliani Tells Hannity Why Mueller Should Be Investigated

Two years of slam-dunk investigating by a crack-team of radical left-wing Trump haters has produced nothing. The Special Counsel has successfully framed a handful of folks over process crimes, none of it related to the investigation for which he was appointed. It’s not a total waste. The Mueller team has managed to prove FBI collusion in … Read more

Something Steve’s Post on the Florida Supreme Court’s Recent Education Funding Decision Made Me Think Of …

Steve MacDonald recently posted Florida Court Invokes Separation of Powers in Refusal To Play ‘Adequacy’ Game in Public Education on Granite Grok. You should read it. You should also read the decision. As a parenthetical note, the Florida constitution -before the amendment in issue in the decision- actually contained the word “adequate”: Prior to 1998, article … Read more

How Did Merrimack NH House Reps Vote this Past Week?

The Town of Merrimack has something it has never had in all the years I have lived here. More than one Democrat in the New Hampshire House.  We may have two at one time. But with eights seats to fill, for the first time I can recall, Merrimack sent four Democrats to Concord. It might … Read more

“Gallup” Towards Interesting Polls – For Once

Gallup has a new fake, pro-Progressive poll out and it is a predictable doozie. A HUGE increase in Americans who want to leave America for good! No, I am not talking about the spoiled Hollywood 1%ers. This a “legit” poll “fairly” balanced and all that scientific stuff, that was created under the same professional pollster-fantasy that … Read more

Josiah Bartlett: The State of the State is Hot!
Grok: We Need Your Help to Keep It That Way

Carsey Foundation), and, for the fourth year in … Read more

Break Out the Violins – Federal Workers Living On Handouts

Federal workers suffering under the “Trump Shutdown” are being given free goodies such as food and entertainment by local DC establishments. I would say that is the least businesses in DC should do. “Bars and restaurants are doing their part to entertain and feed furloughed workers. José Andrés’ ThinkFoodGroup restaurants offer different free sandwiches every … Read more

Brexit Means Exit - Yellow Vest in UK

Prediction: Leftists will Try to Abscond ‘Yellow Vest’ Movement in US

The next wave of left-wing sanctioned violence in America could come under cover of a yellow-vest movement. It will advance leftist priorities through intimidation and violence. I think they have to try. The movement that began in France was in objection to globalist left-wing devotion to carbon taxes that made life unlivable for rural residents. The government eventually … Read more

Concealed Carry

Fans of NH #Resistance Shouldn’t Object to Concealed Carry “Here or There or Everywhere”

We spent half the day (Wednesday) discussing the Democrats move to prohibit firearms on the floor of Reps hall in Concord. No more concealed carry. A solution to a non-problem for which the obvious remedy is knee-jerk, heavy-handed, gun-grabbing, unconstitutional, partisanship. Democrats and one “Republican” voted to disarm the entire body.

Florida Court Invokes Separation of Powers in Refusal To Play ‘Adequacy’ Game in Public Education

New Hampshire’s Claremont decision turned on the question of adequacy in education. Property-poor “districts” would never have as much money as property-rich towns. Ignoring the fact that money does not equal adequacy in education New Hampshire has been wrestling with this question for decades. But when you are talking about schools, and education, unions, and adequacy,and … Read more

A Liddle Phony Sacrifice

Yes, There is Evil in the World

Secular relativism is a branch of progressivism that says evil is subjective. Relative. One transgendered man’s good is another’s evil. As such, evil does not exist. And for good measure, what few bad things there are can be contained by government oversight and policing.  You don’t need to defend yourself. In fact, they’d appreciate it if you’d … Read more

A Federal appeals court has upheld the partial ban on transgenders serving in the military.
