Mach Talk has the week off, but we didn’t want your Friday evening to be without something from the local podcast universe. AJ at The New England Take is still putting out good local content with quality production value, so I volunteered him to fill in. Check it out! “While the City of Concord, New … Read more
In the mid-oughts, then-politically unemployed former New Hampshire Governor Jeanne Shaheen decided a career in the US Senate would be good for her. And it has. She’s been there since 2009 and profited handsomely while more than tripling the national debt. And yes, she did run in 2008 against irresponsible government spending – by which … Read more

House Bill 56 The first bill was HB 56 – requiring a background check and mandatory waiting period during certain … Read more
I don’t think any of our writers have riled on this issue more than Skip. The ruination of the iconic gas can via federal interference and regulation. An icon of government interference for the everyman. A bureaucratic assault on simplicity that drove up the price while making it nearly impossible to use one. Talk about … Read more

If Americans are ever to be healthy again, an effective response to ubiquitous microplastics will be essential. Recent confirmation hearings of the MAHA maven Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. focused on his supposed vaccine and abortion positions while mainly ignoring his opening statement centered on American diets. Industrially-backed officials may thrust their ostrich heads in the … Read more
If you are not on X, or arnot following me or Grok (and if you are on X please follow both), you might have missed this, and it’s brilliant. “White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller gives the Fake News a Civics lesson” during a White House Press Conference. Watch Karoline. At one point, … Read more
We learned that as our committees are cranking out bills, we’ll be taking a break next week and then going full steam every Thursday in March. Today we tackled 31 bills and were graced with the attendance of about 204 Republicans and 165 Democrats in the House. I’ll just be giving a report today of … Read more
The wailing sound you heard last Thursday was the chorus of the Beltway warmongers shrieking in despair at President Trump’s suggestion that there was no reason for the United States to be spending one trillion dollars on “defense.” “…[O]ne of the first meetings I want to have is with President Xi of China and President … Read more
You can tell a lot about where people get their “NEWS,” by the narratives people regurgitate. Phil Scott, the ‘Republican’ Governor of Vermont, was asked if he’d consider a DOGE-like forensic inspection of Vermont. Here’s his response. Scott doesn’t think giving anyone “unfettered access” to state data is a good idea. And, it’s not on … Read more

I think she means well, but if she ever had a clever thought, it died alone and afraid. That is the response of Senator John Kennedy (R-LA), who has the most droll, dead-pan delivery of scorching humor when addressing the idiots arrayed before him (his “colleagues, some of those offering “testimony” and current events). But … Read more
If you don’t read my Substack, you should. Yesterday, I created a TDS variant named DOGE Derangement Syndrome (DDS, but without the dentist). There’s no need to describe it; it’s the only thing the Democrats can talk about. And it turns out to have been one of several judicial traps set by Team MAGA for … Read more
Donald Trump continues to get the people he wants as the United States Senate has just confirmed Kash Patel to run the FBI. The Senate has narrowly voted, 51-49, to confirm Kash Patel to be FBI Director. Collins and Lisa Murkowski joined all 47 Democrats in voting no on Patel’s nomination. That was NBC – … Read more
The “Press” has “fluid” definitions for Free Speech depending on who legitimately gored their ox or whose ox they are trying to gore. And too often, their (retributional) ideological persuasions override their common sense (provided they have some of the latter left): And THIS would be MAGNIFICENT if the MSM would just go away from … Read more
The Trump administration’s recent announcement of tariffs on Canadian products had the ninnies to the north all in a tizzy as the United States ice hockey team took the Canadian national team out to the woodshed recently while in Montreal. Despite a polite warning from the announcer to respect one another’s national anthems the Canadian … Read more
I am old enough to remember when organized sports kept their distance from gambling in any form. Remember how Pete Rose was excommunicated from Major League Baseball and banned from the Hall of Fame because of betting on games when he was a manager? This was when he was the all-time hits leader and should … Read more
Bay State proglodytes would like you to be impressed by the worth of the state’s population. Massachusetts added nearly 70,000 bodies, according to the last census update (2024). If you wanted to spin it a certain way, you could say that the state is appealing, and the net increase is proof. Sadly, that would be … Read more
Back in the mid-1980s, while a mail handler working for the United States Postal Service at what was called the South Postal Annex, I had a conversation with a White liberal co-worker. I was trying to “Red Pill” him” by loaning him a book, “Hijacked,” the Anthony Bryant Story. Mr. Bryant was a Black Panther … Read more
Russ Vought, former Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), has recently made bold claims regarding the role of government institutions in shaping political agendas.
