Now, with China imposing export restrictions on these minerals, on which it holds … Read more
Let’s be clear. This isn’t about preventing a family from converting their garage into a studio apartment for Granny so she doesn’t have to spend the rest of her life in assisted living or any other commonly used argument to gaslight people sounding the alarm on potential loss of local control.

Foundations of the welfare state can be found in Bismark’s idea of the social state, which, at first, was used to fight socialists on a political level, but hell is full of good intentions. Bismark in the 1880s created compulsory insurance for accident, health, disability, and age (pensions). He called them “state socialism” and explained that all … Read more
The Proglodytes are forever whining about someone paying their fair share or taxing the rich, even though Democrats have more oligarchs (rich folks) registered on their team. It’s a bait and switch.

The familiar adage, “the longest journey begins with the first step,” is so true and very applicable to today’s American decline. Particular to my life, I now consider the Supreme Court’s ruling that banned prayer from our nation’s classrooms as being that first step to America’s downward spiral. I suppose that for me, the importance … Read more
New Hampshire legislators have devised various schemes over the years to protect the logging industry from market forces. The latest scheme comes in House Bill 123, as amended.

Billionaire (oligarch?) JB Pritzker was in New Hampshire to rile up the already easily triggered #NHDEMS-13. Pritzker, who needs only to wear a top hat to resemble the cartoonish fat cats of yesteryear, told those assembled that they need to continue being the sorts of troublemakers they’ve always been. Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker called … Read more

Nurses Week 2025 is almost here, and time sure does fly! It seems like it was just yesterday, but it was actually 5/7/22, when I shouted “happy Nurses Day” at the Damn Emperor’s motorcade from the sidewalk because His Excellency could hear me while riding shotgun and stuck at a stop sign during Goffstown Old … Read more
The proposed reduction in the biennial taxpayer bailout of the University System of New Hampshire (for our purposes, UNH) has the donkeys up in a snit. I can’t see why.

April is Esophageal Cancer Month, which is quite a coincidence for me as we had much activity for my cancer packed into April.
