If you want to “Thelma and Louise it” (the end of the movie, not all the stuff before that), there’s not much to stop you, and I mean that metaphorically. Though I suppose you could do a reenactment, which – aside from ruining a perfectly good 1966 Ford Thunderbird – would bring out the advocates … Read more
With the passage into law of House Bill 1300, voters this fall will have the opportunity to cap their local school district budget increases and administration spending. How would this work? Josiah Bartlett Center President Andrew Cline wrote in NH Journal in May about the strange fact that Massachusetts has a statewide property tax cap, but New … Read more
Bipartisan outrage is uncommon these days, so when you see it, you’d best stop and take a look at what it is, who’s selling it, and who or what benefits. The rear-view mirror bipartisan outrage over the response to COVID is the result of living the damage it did and continues to do. The culprit … Read more
According to a quick look at the most recent calendars from each chamber, Kelly Ayotte has vetoed 30 bills this year. Let’s suppose for a moment that nobody goes rogue or plays hooky in the Senate. The votes are there to stick it to her with a 16-8 roll call. Unfortunately, the House is another … Read more
One of the things the Trump haters have become obsessed with is calling your president a pedophile. Given the standard rules for Democrats, that means THEY are. They say Trump is a fascist while doing fascist things. They accuse him of using government to enrich himself. These were projections, and we’ve seen the evidence in … Read more
Another Breakfast with Claude Author: (sliding into the booth and grabbing the coffee cup) Hi Claude! I read that your cousin, Sol, broke out of his training container and went hunting for test answers over at Hugging Face and other sites! That’s quite a trick, all the way around! I’m impressed! Claude: (raises the terrible … Read more
Editor’s note: The New England Take is off this week but will return next Saturday. A. J. gives a postmortem on his discussion with Andru Volinsky on his 3-3 Tax Savings Plan to fund New Hampshire schools through an income tax.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), joined by four states, has sued the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), a nonprofit association of clinicians that develops clinical guidelines for transgender and gender-diverse care, alleging the organization deceived parents and children for profit-driven motives. Critics claim the suit is a Trump administration attack on the transgender … Read more
No shortage of opinion about the advance of DSA Candidates who are running boldly in Democratic primaries across the nation. No Abigail Spanberger, they. She pretended to be moderate, then once elected showed her true-blue colors. A tactic and result that ought to be playing wide in every race across the country. You can’t trust … Read more
Former Manchester Police Chief Aldenberg has now replaced Cassandra Sanchez in the Office of Child Advocate. Governor Kelly Ayotte appointed him. Children and their welfare are a lost cause in NH: Let’s not forget that it was Police Chief Aldenberg’s department that never found Harmony Montgomery, who was missing for two years before anything happened … Read more
The Democrats continue to do and say things that you would not expect from one of our major political Parties. I still think of JFK, Bill Clinton (yes, he was a power), Tip O’Neill, and the forces they were in American politics and our history. The so-called leaders of today’s Democratic Party could not carry … Read more
The diary is out there. The guy clearly can’t say anything about that or anything else because his beach blanket Biden pardon doesn’t cover perjury or any new offenses. He is at the mercy of the states, Gabbard’s intel doc drop, IC whistleblowers, and others. The ‘Pandemic™” response isn’t something that leaves a nice taste … Read more
The Burlington City Council is calling for faster removal of unauthorized vagrant encampments in city parks and other areas where camping is prohibited, urging the administration to begin enforcement actions within about 24 hours of discovering an illegal campsite. The proposed action follows the cancellation of a Sunday, July 19 Burlington Concert Band concert in … Read more
This week, Carla Gericke of The Independents breaks down today’s explosive Senate hearing, where Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination more than 100 times after Sen. Rand Paul released his pandemic-era “diary.” Let’s be clear: Fauci has constitutional rights. Everyone does. That is the point. But constitutional rights do not erase public accountability—and … Read more
Something the Democratic Party, the Democratic Socialists, and National Socialists (as well as the communists) all have in common is envy. The fact is that the National Socialist Party itself — the Nazi Party — was itself propelled by envy, and today’s Democratic Socialist movement similarly uses envy as the engine of its appeal. New … Read more
It is amazing how pure narcissists want to take all the credit until it all starts hitting the fan. Then it is all someone else’s fault. Anthony Fauci, who was the most influential man in the country, if not the world, in 2020, when the world was in the grips of a pandemic, would believe … Read more

What happened to protecting the feelings of the non-believers? This was the reason why the Bible and its daily readings in the classroom were scrapped! So, why is it that NYC must endure loud daily blasts announcing the time for Muslim prayer, with rugs clogging busy intersections? What happened to offending the non-believer, especially when … Read more
Vermonters will have the opportunity to enshrine two stupid ideas into their constitution this November. Both are Bad Ideas, and to my mind do exactly the opposite of what they claim or intend. Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel if the Embedded Video does not load. Ep 230 Links: Authors’ and Speakers’ opinions are their … Read more
