In the Granite State, where political independence runs as deep as the White Mountains, a simmering divide threatens to fracture the Republican coalition just as the 2026 midterms loom on the horizon.

A Great Awakening from the Great Wokeness The 60s free-love revolution proclaimed love and peace as primary values, and especially embraced freedom from social and economic constraints.

Subtitle: The Death of Responsibility When I was a child, I loved horror movies about vampires and werewolves. Later, growing up in the 80’s, I watched my share of generic slasher films, but those never appealed to me.

Previous Big Tech “friends” to even the most woke of environmental movements, including the lithium, wind, and solar factions, which are nothing but ‘green-friendly,’ have kicked their former green lovers to the curb. The … Read more
[This article was coauthored with Emily Evans, a Managing Director in charge of health policy research at Hedgeye Risk Management.] Their record isn’t just spotty; it is downright awful. The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act of 1986 was designed to prevent “patient dumping” by hospitals of emergent patients without insurance. Then there is … Read more

This week, on GrokTALK!, I explore the reality of how Democrats made everything unaffordable in Neighboring Vermont with long-time Political Insider, Rob Roper, and why you shouldn’t complain about any effect of Trump’s tariffs without at least looking in the mirror. “Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.” – Gustav Mahler … Read more

Little babies in the womb since 1974 have been a major “enemy of the state.” Since “Post-Roe,” however, the state is permitting a new instrument of death to silently poison babies in the womb. The American Family Association (AFA) calls it “mail-order death.” Just mail in for the pills. Apparently, this is the abortion industry’s answer … Read more
