It is a widely accepted opinion that the radical left wing of the Democratic Party is manipulating the government shutdown. This does not mean that you will see them at the podium dictating terms to end the shutdown, but it does mean that the left wing is terrorizing the pillars of the Party and forcing … Read more
What’s Breaking America’s Politics This week on the Elsa Kurt show, we push past the Halloween jokes and dive into a week where a machine-signed signature could void pardons, a shutdown strangles paychecks, and a new AI encyclopedia challenges who writes the record. Along the way, we weigh a fractured Democratic Party, NYC’s high-stakes race, … Read more
Like clockwork, it is once again time to talk about Daylight Saving Time. And why the heck not? You just moved the clocks back an hour to Eastern Standard Time—the time it’s supposed to be. And maybe you managed to milk that extra hour for something or not. I wake up an hour earlier and … Read more
Oh, Baseball World Series time again! Seventy years ago, baseball was America’s favorite pastime. As little boys, on our way home from school, we ran to the Chevy dealership on Delaware Avenue in Wilmington, Delaware, to watch the game. Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, and Moose Skowron were the stars we hoped to see win … Read more
Think of the Dos Equis guy because I don’t always agree with Osborne, but when I do, it’s because he said something good. In a recent tweet, he said, “Anyone else wonder why all the attention on the SNAP corporate welfare program and not the federal workers who are furloughed or working without pay?” I’ve … Read more
The idea that Democrats care about anything or anyone but themselves, and that does not include regular, everyday, registered Democrats, is absurd. Nothing they do or care about ends up improving their lives, care, or safety—quite the opposite. You may remember the deaths of a family by a foreign-born trucker who failed his written exam ten times. … Read more
I have found this recent government shutdown to be the most frustrating period in all my years of following politics. This current shutdown is not a situation that can be negotiated, for what the Democrats want is not open to discussion by the Republicans. The Democrats believe they have the leverage in this tug-of-war, and … Read more
The groomers and pedophiles have been allowed to spool out more than enough rhetorical rope… I started a research project last month, during which I suffered through the intolerable nonsense of a series of websites listing banned books in the United States. I won’t share the links because the internet age affords you tools to … Read more
There is a state law that says New Hampshire has to be the first primary in the presidential election process. This means that no matter when another state sets its primary date, New Hampshire has to set one earlier. You can say what you like, but NH has made it a statutory requirement that we … Read more

Scott Brown and John E. Sununu have something in common. They both appear to be deeply despised by factions of the eclectic New Hampshire Republican Party. More specifically, the libertarians who choose to run as Republicans (“Liberty Reps”) despise Brown, while MAGA-Republicans (populists) despise Sununu. Here is what a libertarian-influencer thinks of former Senator Brown: … Read more

The old adage about playing “good cop, bad cop” to elicit a result offers a metaphorical counterpart in an ongoing challenge to EPA approval processes for new chemicals under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Enacted during President Trump’s first administration to impose stricter oversight of new chemicals, TSCA may be defanged under his current … Read more
The Climate Cult’s entirely faith-based dogma, which includes the computer model Psalms, Book of Algore, and the Hockey Stick Scriptures of Mann (from which Mann Made Global Warming is derived). It fits the framework of a mythology (in every spiritual sense). Nothing about it has to be right because belief is based on faith, and … Read more
The state legislature has passed several laws this year that limit the ability of towns and cities to control zoning — for example, towns must allow multifamily residential development in commercially zoned areas where infrastructure exists. HB 577 (Chapter 197, 2025) Requires towns/cities to allow either an attached or a detached accessory dwelling unit (ADU) … Read more
We like to give the social-justice warriors at Netflix a hard Time, but Disney, as a platform, has lost a lot of credibility in the past decade, all because it let the #Wokeasaurus in the door. Its reimaging of the Star Wars universe may have resulted in some spectacular backgrounds and film-making innovations (something the … Read more
After decades of spewing – and funding — climate alarmist rhetoric of the most virulent kind, multi-billionaire Bill Gates shocked the Left by admitting what some of us have been saying all along: Yeah, the climate is changing (it does that), but it’s totally manageable and not a crisis. So, y’all just chill the heck … Read more

We’ll also explore New Hampshire’s first 3D-printed home now on the market (and available for Bitcoin!), recap … Read more
A month into the Schumer Shutdown, and Democrats are still trying to distract you from how full of shit they are. Oh look, Trump is destroying the White House (with donor money), which was a super cool narrative that gave the internet an excuse to point out that most Presidents do something (Barry added an … Read more
