A basic principle of the martial art Aikido is that instead of struggling against an attacker’s force, you work with it. As I listen to Democrats continue to complain about how DOGE shouldn’t be given access to the private data of American citizens because it is staffed by ‘unelected employees’, it occurs to me that … Read more
After watching the last segment of Granite State Live on Tuesday, I felt it imperative to pull it and share it as a standalone for people who missed it live but might not dive into a 160-minute deep podcast. Keith Hanson and Julian Acciard have a conversation about the Democrat Party’s black history when it … Read more
The full impact of the DOGE raid on USAID may not be fully known until the 2026 midterms. With billions brought back into the barn and tethered, the army of NGOs that used to launder them into Democratic campaigns will have to find resources somewhere else. Don’t look at your donor class. Deep Pocketed Dems … Read more
How could so many dimwits run such a successful scam for so long without being discovered? Especially in light of their salaries versus the mansions they have suddenly acquired! This should have provided all the proof required for a serious investigation. Could it be that what was originally deemed to be the government’s unofficial watchdogs … Read more
It is not clear yet if anyone is going to swing (rhetorically) for all the corruption, fraud, and waste being unearthed within the payment systems of your federal government, but someone needs to go to jail. I think everyone can agree on that. The issue is who can be held accountable for the rank incompetence … Read more
You can tell a lot about where people get their “NEWS,” by the narratives people regurgitate. Phil Scott, the ‘Republican’ Governor of Vermont, was asked if he’d consider a DOGE-like forensic inspection of Vermont. Here’s his response. Scott doesn’t think giving anyone “unfettered access” to state data is a good idea. And, it’s not on … Read more
If you don’t read my Substack, you should. Yesterday, I created a TDS variant named DOGE Derangement Syndrome (DDS, but without the dentist). There’s no need to describe it; it’s the only thing the Democrats can talk about. And it turns out to have been one of several judicial traps set by Team MAGA for … Read more
The Democrats have two choices. They can put their collective heads together and come up with solutions, which will never happen because, even collectively, there is no level of intelligence to develop solutions. They can put their tails between their legs and work with the Republicans, who have the majority support of Americans on key … Read more
Rep. Kathleen James (D-Manchester) chairs the House Energy & Digital Infrastructure Committee. She was appointed to that post by Speaker of the House Jill Krowinski (D-Burlington). Krowinski also assigned multiple bills that would repeal controversial, unaffordable, climate laws, such as the Clean Heat Standard (H.16), the Global Warming Solutions Act, and the Clean Car mandates … Read more
I watch the protests and the coverage of the radicals by the legacy opinion shows. I am completely lost as to what the Democrat’s message is to the Republicans or the American people. Collectively, they are coming across as unhinged. In one protest on Tuesday, each speaker threw at least one F-bomb, and in another, … Read more
Donald Trump has unleashed a panther in the payment systems of Federal agencies, and while opponents rant, protest, march, object, and file lawsuits, one thing stands out above the rest. The supposed party of Truth squads – the Democrats – don’t want Americans to know the truth about where their money is being spent. In … Read more
We begin by paraphrasing the theory that for every action there’s a reaction. While not intended, this emotional base, which the democrats feed from, is now providing ample validation to Trump’s resounding comeback win. Orators are majestic with their word mastery, but words fail to whitewash the democrat’s complete loss for any political decorum or … Read more
There are some mornings in which thoughts and ideas come flying by with the ease and grace of a flock of geese flying south for the winter. On this day before Lincoln’s birthday, this is the right time for printing such high flying thoughts. At this three-week point in Trump’s second term, the democrats have … Read more
The noise about Elon Musk is not about the separation of powers, a Constitutional Crisis, or destroying America or our Democracy. The last one angers me because these people should know we are a Republic, not a Democracy. The noise about Elon Musk ranges from he is unelected and unconfirmed to a crook, a thief, … Read more
If only resurrecting the Democratic Machine was as easy as plugging in for a charge. But as Democrats are finding out, their effort to build vast numbers of charging stations was a flop. The Democrat batteries are out of juice, and they have no alternative mode of transportation. They probably wish they had invested in … Read more
I, admit that I do frequent Carbon Upfront! to debate the Left. That said, at least most of the folks there are normal when it comes to their writing/comments even if it is a bit blinkered regarding Freedom and Liberty. It is, after all, a Left-leaning Eco-Socialist site, but at least the conversations are a … Read more
It is beyond amazing how out of touch the Democratic Party leadership is with mainstream America. The party’s approval rating has fallen to 31%, the lowest in history. The trajectory indicates it has not reached its low point and will continue to decline. This party is on a suicide mission to destroy itself, and nobody … Read more
Rather than stand on its own merits and create an identity of its own, Maine is working feverishly to be the California of the East Coast. The Progressives who are clustered in the big cities are spending money they don’t have and threatening to lose federal funds by defying Washington edicts. Maine does not have … Read more
I challenge you to give me the name of one person on the Left who has the credentials to judge someone’s level of commitment to religion. The Left is a Godless group that has done all it can to remove God from our everyday life. They find the Ten Commandments offensive and not worthy of … Read more
Grokster Beth Scaer shared an article written by Senate Ways and Means Chair Tim Lang. Despite being a Tim Lang critic, I happened to agree with his conservative talking points and funny quips. After the drunken sailor references, he asks the readers the following question: “But seriously, do Democrats actually think Granite Staters are naive … Read more
