The new administration is broadly rolling back almost all Trump-era regulations. Of local interest is a regulation meant to protect businesses from political targeting. Businesses like gun manufacturers and cryptocurrency exchanges had protection from denial of banking services. No more.

Never Ending Wuflu Lockdown: We Know NY Gov. Andrew “Throw the COVID Positives Into Our Nursing Homes” Cuomo Agrees With This
I’m betting more than a few more State Governors will be of like mind With Cuomo simply because the REAL Taste of Power that COVID has given them cover for is just too irresistible to refuse.
Federalist 10 or Bust
America’s Founders were familiar with some of the more negative tendencies of our digital public square. You see, people are human. They were in the late 1700s and they still are today.
Gay Gene: Nope. New Study Says You are Not Born That Way
Two of the pillars of the LGBT movement are you can’t help who you love and born this way. We already know you can help who you love. Hundreds of millions do that every day. As for the second, a new academic study says, there is no gay gene.
Dogs and Guns and Democrats…Oh My!
People who are unfamiliar with dogs or have never owned one, are more likely to be intimidated or even afraid of them. While people who are familiar with dogs, grew up with them or own a dog, understand them, know how to read their signals, and have the sense to have some respect for what they are capable of, particularly when they meet one they are not familiar with.
Guns are the same way. People who are unfamiliar or who have never handled or owned a gun are intimidated, wary, even frightened of them. While lawful gun owners, hunters, sport shooters, and folks who feel the need to own a gun for self defense are more likely to understand them, and have the sense to have some respect for what any gun is capable of particularly when they are introduced to one they are not familiar with.
And in the Free Town of Grafton…a story of abuse of small-town government power
A month or two ago I blogged about those magnificent small-government activists of Grafton, New Hampshire. That was when an alliance…
Let’s Be Clear On Why Democrats Want To Kill The School Scholarship Program
In April of last year I pointed out what appeared obvious to me. That the small business school scholarship program, eventually passed into law last year–the one New Hampshire Democrats are trying to repeal–could actually save the towns and the state money.
In Merrimack the actual ‘on-paper’ cost per student is well over $14,000.00 each.; total enrollment of 4700 (ish) divided by our roughly 65+ million dollar school budget. If a parent can only take $3,450.00 per child, ($2500.00 average) then the town is still getting paid $11,000.00 dollar per child with no child left to teach.
To see how that looks if we borrow the formula the Super’s letter…
COPUPPSE (Cost of Over-priced Under Performing Public School Education) – PTPR (Pittance of Tuition Parent Receives) = JPSS (Jackpot for Public School System)
Well guess what. Someone on the CATO Institute Blog yesterday, asked Governor Hassan why–if Governor Hassan wants to save taxpayers money–would she also want to repeal a scholarship program that saves taxpayers money on the cost of education?
Democrats Do Not Want You To Be Free
According to Dr. Larry Arnn, President of Hillsdale College…
“Limited Government is necessary if you are going to have a representative government. You can’t have a representative government unless you have a big, strong, independent, vibrant society, that can be represented, that is independent of the government that represents it.”
With people being who people are, this makes perfect sense. We are not angels. And human beings are not to be trusted in the defense of their own cause because they are prone to take advantage or each other. And history has shown time and again that bigger governments inevitably result in fewer freedoms. So we can see who favors less actual freedom–not the false rhetorical, hopey-changey, social justice variety–by looking at who encourages dependence on a larger central government.
