Fundamentally, it had a flawed design. Its architects meant to appeal to the public, promising what the old system could not fully deliver – guaranteed access to affordable health cover and coverage for pre-existing conditions (PECs). But they were wrong about being able to keep your doctor or your old policy if you wanted. Previously, … Read more

Veterans’ Day has been a day of conflict for me for many years. My Dad, and undoubtedly many of his friends and cousins, walked into a recruitment office and volunteered to serve their country to go to Europe or the South Pacific to fight the Germans or Japanese, who posed a threat to the free … Read more
Deporting illegals, rebuilding our Military’s character and mission, lowering gas prices, and attempting to prosecute all the government miscreants who shamelessly lied to the American people, is all good, BUT IT AIN’T ENOUGH, particularly, for a lot of lower-middle-class and low-income Americans this Thanksgiving. Trump and the Republicans are doing the same thing Biden and … Read more

J. dives into recent headlines on the NH Republican plan to improve voting access while keeping ID requirements, the government shutdown is on course to end (causing Shaheen family chaos?), and how SCOTUS is not going to overturn Obergefell. … Read more
Epidemic Obesity is getting attention from both sides of the problem. I stumbled accross this Fox News has an article titled, “America’s fattest states revealed — and how Ozempic is changing the map.” A Pennsylvania health analytics company, Purple Lab, analyzed prescription records for synthetic GLP-1 products by state. GLP1 is a natural hormone that helps … Read more
New York Governor Kathy Hochul is in a fight with the courts over that state’s greenhouse gas reduction mandates. Like Vermont’s Global Warming Solutions Act, New York passed a law dictating that the state must reduce emissions by, in their case, 40 percent by 2030. And, like Vermont, a major policy for doing so is … Read more
One of my offspring sauntered into the kitchen this morning and asked if I’d heard about the latest Epetein outrage. I asked, Which one. He said that when Democrats released two emails that allegedly implicated Donald Trump, after which Republicans released twenty thousand pages of emails. He thought it was funny, and while he is … Read more
Fellow Americans, the red, white, and blue nightmare we’ve warned about for years has crashed through the gates of our greatest city like a Trojan horse packed with Sharia decrees. Last night, as the final votes trickled in from the concrete jungles of New York, the unthinkable became reality: Zohran Mamdani, a 34-year-old radical democratic … Read more
The Government is open again, despite the Democrats who closed it trying to keep it that way, which sort of kind of messes with the who shut it down in the first place narrative. It was never Republicans. They didn’t have any demands. No hostages. And to add insult to injury, Democrats who screamed about … Read more
Welcome to the end of the week and another pile of memes. Lots-o-memes, memes-a-plenty, a cornucopia of memes, a Friday meme thing for your consideration and, potentially (hopefully), your enjoyment as well as a sad goodbye to shutdown memes.

recently purchased Aaron Siri’s new book Vaccines, Amen. As I flipped through the pages, I noticed a section devoted to his now-famous deposition of Dr Stanley Plotkin, the “godfather” of vaccines.
