The Soros-funded social-justice experiment of recruiting progressive prosecutors who function more as a second phalanx of defense attorneys has crashed in flames. California’s Proposal 36 was supported by more than 70% of voters and reversed these ill-considered policies to correct course for public safety.

They bought in on the Russian dossier and the January 6 assault on the Capital. Yet, they missed the border fiasco, the Afghanistan retreat, the cocaine … Read more
The two sides of this latest American disaster are amazing when taken separately, and that is difficult to do with such devastation.

It took me a few years to get my school district (SAU73) to figure out that Agents of Government (elected and bureaucratic officials) cannot abrogate a person’s First Amendment Free Speech rights. Frankly, it got frustrating at times, but the school board finally acknowledged the error of their ways (to avoid the threat of another … Read more
Please humor me for a moment, close your eyes, and picture the Mr Bean meme. It’s a quartet of him standing with his hands on his hips, looking at his watch, sitting Indian style, and lying down. The caption says, “Me waiting for (insert long-awaited item here).” I’m starting with that exercise because, just like … Read more
If you wanted a bill written that was impossible to implement on poorly planned deadlines and outrageously expensive, you’d call a Vermont Democrat. Their track record is hard to beat.

Ann Kuster heads out the door of the US Capitol (for the last time as a member of Congress) with what shall be, in our opinion, the defining moment of her tenure. Her lasting legacy. Context? ‘Annie’ voted not to deport illegal alien sex offenders. And I’m betting that Anne Kuster would be very happy … Read more
There were a lot of surprises on the morning of November 6th, 2024. The Democrats lost the US House, the US Senate, and the Oval Office, and the abortion issue was unable to overshadow the problems plaguing regular Americans.

In the book Crisis and Leviathan, libertarian thinker Robert Higgs pointed out that the state uses crises to ratchet up its power and control over citizens. With each new “crisis” – often directly or indirectly caused by the state itself – government grows and our freedom shrinks. The root cause of the September 11, 2001 … Read more

GrokTALK is back, and I have Ian and Jody Underwood lined up to talk about education freedom accounts, Public ed in New Hampshire, and so on.

We’ve heard stories about transplant and other patients being denied care for refusing a COVID-19 injection in the past. It was wrong then, and it’s wrong now. But not at Dartmouth Hitchcock. It is reportedly denied a life-saving transplant to a patient (Dec 23, 2024) because she never received a COVID-19 injection. Yes, in 2025. … Read more
