Nevada’s screwed-up primary/caucus has even the ordinarily well-informed scratching their heads after Tuesday’s primary with Haley, no Trump. Haley didn’t do well on Tuesday, losing to none of the above by over 30 points. The Caucus, held last night, appointed delegates, and Candidate Trump crushed it.

Night Cap: What’s SO Bad About Social and Emotional Learning (and the SEL Proposed Legislation in NH)?
PART 1: Introduction
This week, there was a hearing before the House Education Committee to prohibit SEL in our public schools. The sponsor proposed an amendment at the hearing to change that to parental consent for children to participate in SEL.
Bad Start: “New” ‘Republican’ Matt Coker, Has Lunch with a Union Lobbyist, and Three Lousy ‘republicans.’
Fresh from his transition from Democrat to Republican, Matt Coker (who changed parties before lunch) was spotted having lunch with Labor Union lobbyist (AFL-CIO NH President) Glenn Brackett and notoriously small ‘r’ Republicans Mike Bordes, Doug Trottier, and Travis O’Hara.
Public Education Choking Hooksett Taxpayers
Another chaotic confrontation took place at the Hooksett Town Meeting on Saturday. On both sides good folks were confronted with the reality that the school budget is choking taxpayers.
In Four Minutes … How Our Elections Are RIGGED
The RINO/Uniparty NH-Journal, a/k/a NH-NeverTrumpJournal, regularly regurgitates the Left’s mantra that there is “no evidence” that the 2020 election was rigged. That claim is a LIE. A big, fat LIE.
NH Democrat with 38% HRA Score Decides He is a Republican – Leaves Dems to Caucus with GOP
Merideth, NH Rep Matt Coker (D – until a few minutes ago) has announced -more or less – that his party has left him, so he’s decided to leave it. He has changed party affiliation and formally joined the New Hampshire Republican House Caucus.
Taxes, Inflation, Vacancies, and Shoplifting Becoming Too Hard To Bear
A convergence of financial pressures threatens to send shock waves through America’s commercial real estate sector in 2024. As a record number of outstanding commercial mortgages mature, refinancing at nosebleed interest rates is a daunting hurdle for investors and lenders alike.
So, Every American Journalist Who has “Interviewed” Trump is a MAGA Apologist?
There is not one Machine Media talking head or reporter who claims to be a journalist who wouldn’t sell their soul for a chance to interview Vladimir Putin. That’s just a fact. World leader. Times of crisis. Some amount of risk. It’s a massive get unless the journalist is Tucker Carlson.
For the Children: Ban Flavored Tobacco, but Not Flavored Pot, Legalize Drug Dens (No Age Limits)
If you want to know why Vermont is in such terrible shape on so many fronts, it is because the people we have elected to make important decisions for us are totally unmoored from any rational approach to problem-solving. They are devoid of any guiding principle, barring an intense desire to get their hands on our money and spend it as they see fit, which is usually not in a fit way.
Night Cap: Transgenderism Madness
I just retired after 35 years of working in the human service field. I was appalled at the lack of truthfulness, informed consent, and irrational fear that was foisted upon citizens by the medical bureaucrats during the Covid pandemic years. Their many lies are coming to light with Lord Fauci, Patron Saint of Wuhan, merely the idolized figurehead.
The Strange Case of Alex Talcott
Not much makes sense in the homicide of GOP lawyer Alexander Talcott or the investigation and report on it from the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office. Following the money is always a good place to start.
Reminder: 70% of Democrats Approve of Government Censorship and Dem Candidates Should Be Asked if They Agree
Last summer, a surprising bit of polling emerged from the Pew Research Center. It asked respondents about their tolerance for censorship by the government or big tech. A surprising number of Americans said they supported it, but a supermajority of Democrats were all in.
Some In NH Think Suicide Is Another Issue For Government Intervention
Why is it that Democrats put such a low value on human life? Whether writing laws that allow the killing of an unborn fetus up to the moment of birth or now, pushing for the legalization of state-assisted suicides, the authors and co-sponsors of these bills are showing zero regard for life.
Bananas: Feminists Struggle To Decide On Fifth Wave of Movement … and Dinner
The International Fraternity of Feminists (IFF) meeting took place at the lovely Brettonwoods resort earlier this month, and these little ladies have a lot to bitch about, it seems.
Anti-Book Banning Dems Have a Huge Problem: Biden White House Pressured Amazon to Ban Books
Democrats (mostly) have been arguing that removing age-inappropriate “books” from schools is book banning. They can’t shut up about it, but anyone can get these books with a few clicks electronically (for the groomer in a hurry) or in print in a handful of days. But the idea of “banning books” has a visceral feel.
Meme Overflow
As promised in Monday Memes, I have an overflow. My meme cup runneth over. And yes there will be a Friday edition too.
Deceptive Political Advertising Complaint
To whom it may concern: On February 5, 2024, the news site “In Depth New Hampshire” (for whom I have a great deal of respect – so this is not leveled at them as I believe they were unaware) published a “News Release” entitled “What to do about teen dating violence.”
Ed Markey’s Bill to Ban “Militias” Nationwide Could Backfire in a Big Way
Vermont Democrats banned militias last year, which we observed was an odd departure given that the state existed because of one. Comrade Ed Markey (D- MA), following Vermont’s lead, though it is more likely a shared totalitarian itch they have to scratch, has offered up legislation to ban “militias” nationwide.
Congress Trusts, I Don’t. Do You?
Senator Rand Paul, in his talk, Deception: The Great Covid Cover-up, at Hillsdale’s College Washington campus, exposes many revelations of unknown nefarious facts about the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and their major role in initiating gain-of-function research at Wuhan Institute of Virology.
