Wisdom From Washington’s Farewell Address

In these times, as hate fills the air, it seems God’s words, “Vengeance is mine,” are in the process of being hijacked by man.  Polls are indicating that over 50% believe that assassinating  President Trump is justified. Many Americans now see owning a Tesla as a health hazard that needs to be stopped by vandalism. … Read more

Education Finance Betrayal

When Governor Scott unveiled his education reform plan, I warned readers to be prepared to “kiss your sister.” There’s a lot to not like in what he came up with, but at least it reduced spending by $180 million in order to cut taxes. The plan the Democrats are putting forward, however, is more like … Read more

Kamala Floats a Think Tank Thought

Former Vice President Kamala Harris has had a few months to drink away her pain. Call it a two-month vacation from wasting other people’s money. No worries. That fraud didn’t waste the time. She has risen from her wine coma to thunk a thought – to borrow from her intellectual mentor, Edward Bear, known more … Read more

We Need To Raise The Volume

A Foundation for Libertarian Ethics

In this week’s column, I’d like to discuss an important contribution to libertarian theory by the philosophers Douglas Rasmussen and Douglas Den Uyl in their book, Norms of Liberty (2005). This book has meant a lot to me over the years, and I read the manuscript before publication. The book is a sustained attempt to solve what … Read more

Let’s Define Chaos For The Democrats

The Democrats have been considering a name change to align with their current philosophy, and I suggest they use the moniker Lemmings. Lemmings blindly follow the crowd and, void of any original thought, go about their lives based on the daily directive distributed by an unknown group of leaders. Listen to the daily sound bites … Read more

Defending The Second Amendment, No Matter What

What last week appeared to be a decent day for a rally outside the New Hampshire state house took a New England turn yesterday. Mother Nature dropped several inches of spring snow on the Granite State, followed by rain, with temperatures in the mid-thirties. It was the sort of Saturday where you grabbed a hot … Read more

Property Tax, Sticker Tax, RTK & RTW; More Cross-Referencing

After submitting my most recent article on rogue Rs that voted the wrong way on HB1002 last year and removing property tax relief from HB2 this year, I started alerting constituents of the latter.  A constituent of Bryer complained of him being a “union schmuck” and that inspired me to do more cross referencing.  I … Read more

Where is BLM When You Need Them?

Where is the pushback on Dem mayors moaning about having their federal police funding cut? Who can be anything but amused by local Democrats complaining about federal funding cuts that affect local police departments? DOGE is digging through the Federal Government’s fiscal backyard and uncovering a lot of old bones. There is waste, fraud, money … Read more

EFAs: The Pot Calling the Kettle Black?

The Josiah Bartlett Center’s recent post by Drew Cline rightfully points out that reduced increases in school budgets are being called cuts, which is misleading. At the same time, Cline reports that increases in spending that come from Education Freedom Accounts (EFAs) are actually savings, which is similarly misleading. In an emailed article I received … Read more

Liberation or Obliteration?

President Trump was elected in part because he promised to reduce prices and not drag the country into foreign wars. Sadly, President Trump has adopted a tariff policy that will raise prices and abandoned his “America First” foreign policy in favor of a return to Bush-era neoconservatism. Despite criticizing President Biden for bombing Yemen, President … Read more

The Mirage of Texas Conservatism

Senator John Cornyn has long positioned himself as a stalwart of Texas values – challenging on borders, supportive of law and order, and a champion of conservative principles. Yet, beneath the polished rhetoric and carefully crafted image lies a troubling pattern of inconsistency that undermines his credibility. Cornyn’s tenure reveals a disappointing truth for conservatives … Read more

Hands Off our Waste Fraud & Abuse

The Democrats scream hands off our waste, fraud, and abuse. Like the balderdash of Beelzebub, they treat our deceitful government expenditures as like gold, though it is more akin to worshipping the“god of filth.” They treat Trump’s attempts at squaring up tariffs with other countries as the equivalent of destroying the economic world order. Our … Read more
