For the second year in a row, it has become difficult to impossible for the usual suspects to play their tiny drought violins to scare the uninformed. Heat, however, has come in waves when it has not been cool. We had three very hot days in this corner of the globe while other “corners” have … Read more
Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, and Biden all had it wrong since 2015 when they proclaimed that Donald Trump would never be President of the United States. They couldn’t read the tea leaves then, and though they tried to destroy him in court for four years, he is back again. Trump has the luxury of a majority … Read more
Much like the New Hampshire state budget, or more specifically, the budget trailer bill, The Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) just passed by the US Senate (headed back to the House for reconciliation), is loaded with wins and losses. Critics have every right to express concern over spending priorities and claims that the net benefits will … Read more
The University of Pennsylvania, desiring to comply with Federal law and the current interpretation of Title IX (and wanting not to get sued or defunded) has agreed to “give up swimming records, titles or other recognitions awarded to trans athletes and give them to cisgender athletes.” Lia Thomas, the award-winning University of Pennsylvania swimmer, no … Read more
Remember when everyone and the grandmother they claimed you were trying to kill said, they “were just following the CDC’s orders. They meant advice, recommendations, suggestions, advisories, anything the CDC said during the pandemic was why they did it. Public Health “experts,” often just pencil-pushers or functionaries, did the same. “The CDC says,” was a … Read more
New York City stands on the edge of a cliff, and Zohran Mamdani’s election as mayor will shove it into the abyss. His radical socialist agenda, laced with dangerous ideologies, will torch the city’s foundation, turning the greatest metropolis on Earth into a third-world wasteland. This isn’t speculation – it’s a guarantee. If Mamdani takes … Read more
If you want to trigger a gender bender on social media, really make them lose it, this clip from Dr. Jordan Peterson might do it. Not once but multiple times. And this isn’t necessarily the first time he’s made this point, but he drops the hammer on the extremist calling themselves the Transgender affirming left … Read more
Recent reports that so-called “anchor babies” (children born in the US to illegal parents) are consuming as much as 25% or more of public school resources further support conservative positions that legal and illegal immigration must be better controlled. As political conflagration in Los Angeles erupts literally in torched vehicles, increasing numbers of American Independent … Read more
Apparently, being a Muslim Democrat Socialist allows you to be an overt racist, yet the Muslim community is claiming that any criticism of Mamdani is racist. If that is not the height of hypocrisy, then I need to see a more blatant example. Mamdani is the Democrat candidate for mayor of New York City, and … Read more
We can’t escape the fact that there are insincere people on every side of an issue, but it is the left that has gone out of its way to politicize everything because, as Mussolini explained, there can be nothing outside the state. Everything must be political, even the idea that exhortations against the politicization of … Read more
The source of the manufacturers of unwritten cultural mandates is unseen; finalized into laws when the impact of good or bad moral mindsets fills the halls of government. Unfortunately, but necessarily, the nature of free market economies does not limit or force a spirit of righteousness or wickedness upon the people. Public opinion is the … Read more
The USDA is considering approving genetically modified chestnut trees for commercial sale and widespread planting in the wild. If authorized, the new strain would be the first genetically engineered (GE) tree to receive approval and the first time any GE plant has been approved for widespread release in the wild. It would also pave the … Read more
The directionless, leaderless Democrat Party has had only one weapon against Donald Trump, which is to tie up every effort to fulfill his promises to America in court. The Democrats do not have the numbers in the House or Senate to legislate, even if they had the desire to do so. Therefore, they have taken … Read more
If you were wondering what the pollsters think about who the most likely Presidential nominees might be for 2028, feel free to say no. No, I wasn’t thinking about eating another crap sandwich for a few more years. And you’d be right to feel that way. But every next election starts when the last one … Read more
Donald Trump and his allies continue to complain that the central bank isn’t inflating the money supply enough. Last week, Bill Pulte, Trump’s appointee to the Federal Housing and Finance Administration—and the head of Fannie and Freddie—complained that Powell and the FOMC weren’t forcing down interest rates enough. Pulte wrote on X/Twitter: Because President Trump has crushed … Read more

The Democrats are doing what they do best. Projecting while yesterday’s last-day drop of US Supreme Court decisions had most right-of-center court watchers relieved. Amy Comey Barrett upped her street cred by dissing dopey Judicial “peer’ Ketanji Brown Jackson, and the day couldn’t get much better after that. Schools can’t force kids to participate in … Read more
The Trump administration is mulling policies to make it more difficult and costly for pharmaceutical companies to promote prescription drugs directly to consumers. Big Pharma spends billions on advertising to promote sales, yet not all of its products are necessary or even safe, contributing to the overmedication of many Americans. Concerns about the industry’s excessive … Read more
Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton has determined that, for now, online purveyors of what we call pornography have an obligation to ensure that those accessing their content are of legal age. That states can require it, police it, and presumably punish violators. It seems sensible enough if a culture has decided the minds of children … Read more
