It is correct, analytically and logically, to distinguish secession from war. Many states secede peacefully, and it does not logically follow that secession must occasion war. The Southern states of America seceded peacefully, and Lincoln’s subsequent war which followed four months after secession was entirely unnecessary. Hence, Murray Rothbard wrote in his memo to the Volker Fund in 1961 … Read more

Both corporate America and organic food … Read more
It may be true that we are often forced to suffer fools, for a time, but what about dipshits you can’t cut loose? I refer to the New England states, excluding New Hampshire. They are all being run into the ground by hypocrats and Proglodytes, and some of their “sovereign” actions have regional consequences. The … Read more

Last week, Senate President Pro Tem, Philip Baruth (D/P-Chittenden Central) decided to pull the education reform bill, H.454, off of the calendar where it was scheduled for a floor vote. He did this not because it wasn’t going to pass, but because it was – but with both Republican and Democrat votes. That was too … Read more
Recent articles have converged to paint a horrifying picture of Americans’ increasingly ultra-processed diets and likely brain damage from the microplastics that saturate many foods, especially “fast food” from take-out restaurants. The US leads the world in junk food consumption, and microplastics may account for rising rates of obesity, depression, anxiety, and dementia. These findings … Read more

Once again, Congress has given in to terror-supporting organizations by stripping Section 112209 from President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, which would have amended the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to terminate the tax-exempt status of terrorist supporting organizations.

Idiotic Southern Poverty Law Center Thinks Small Government is HATE? The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) lists Granite Grok, a New Hampshire-based new media outlet, on their “Hate Map” as “Antigovernment General” (whatever that means). Steve MacDonald, Managing Editor of @granitegrok, talks about how the SPLC has abandoned its honest roots to become a Marxist … Read more
Bullying happens at the state house. There’s so much of it that it should be renamed Fairgrounds School, known locally as the host of the Ward 6 polls and by WMUR as the Nashua epicenter of bullying. Legislator scorecards are a toned-down version of bullying in the sense that they’re carrots on a stick for … Read more

YEESH, my fellow statespeople once again embarrass me. The legislature passed HB 81, allowing grown adults to take their beer and martinis with them to the restrooms. Odd? And you ask why? It’s so nobody can put a drug into the drink when you’re not there. This is an idiotic bill: our legislators are … Read more

I argued that our city’s leaders—by labeling dissenting voices as “mayor haters” or dismissing ethics complaints as “just politics”—were creating a culture that silences civic dialogue. One day later, Alderman Derek Thibeault responded—not with reflection, but … Read more
New Hampshire lawmakers have passed legislation that will prohibit cities from adopting policies that signal they are sanctuary destinations for illegal immigrants. Such “sanctuary cities,” which proclaim they will not prosecute illegals or cooperate with federal agents who do, are popular in New England, sometimes attracting the wrong kind of tourist. New Hampshire’s partisan victory … Read more
We should have seen this coming. A mere 25 days after the Inauguration, Vice President JD Vance went to Munich to convey a few key messages. Things that made some in the EU cry. To ensure freedom, Western “democracies” needed to protect free and open public discourse, and the EU is “disappointing” history. Vance spoke … Read more
