The actions of several liberal enclaves around the nation and the permissive attitude of the White House toward them has brought us to the point where … Read more

 ‘The Martian’ Was Our World Just 50 Years Ago. “‘The Martian’ is superficially about space travel, but it is really about time travel. The plot may focus on characters leaving Earth to explore the red planet, but the strange world the movie depicts is really our own world just over 50 years ago. The can-do, optimistic … Read more

That would be NH’s own Mark Steyn – on the nature and character of Democrat candidates (emphasis mine): Democrats win by pretending to be to the right of who they really are.

You cannot poll or measure it; and even those who carry it avoid discussion. And that decision has nothing whatsoever to … Read more

“There is something shallow and decadent about a pontiff who prioritizes “climate change” even as every last Christian is driven from the Archeparchy of Mosul. What will they say of such a pope? That he fiddled with the thermostat while Rome burned?” – Mark Steyn

Pope Francis’ own native Argentina was once among the leading economies of the world, before it was ruined by the kind of ideological notions he is now promoting around the world.

“The progressive philosophy that the Democratic Party has come to embrace now has its roots less in the values of life, liberty, and the pursuit of individual happiness and more in the tenets of race and class identity, equal outcomes, and an expanding welfare state.” – Scott Powell  

… is from pages 75-76 of Harold Demsetz’s insight-packed and wisdom-filled 1982 volume, Economic, Legal, and Political Dimensions of Competition: The use of a given amount of time and the expenditure of a given sum to search among market alternatives yields a much greater expected increase in welfare to a person consuming in the market place … Read more

“In the Democratic contenders thus far I see an aging virago motivated by a seething mass of resentments and a cold conviction of absolute entitlement who, if she lived in any Italian village, would be healthily shunned by everyone and all. In the USA she is the equivalent of an aristocrat. Bernie Sanders is not … Read more
