The Gulf of Maine offshore wind leases are a done deal, but the project isn’t. We have invested no small amount of effort to protect the Gulf of Maine from dangerous development but the Feds want what the Feds want. They rushed the deal (fearing Trump would nix it) with little regard to the concerns … Read more

In the 30 years since the Crime Bill fueled the militarization of police and the explosive growth of SWAT teams, SWAT teams continue to terrorize innocent homeowners and then receive qualified immunity from the courts. In an amicus brief in Jimerson v. Lewis, The Rutherford Institute has called on the U.S. Supreme Court to hold a law … Read more
School districts did a lot of misbehavin’ after the COVID thing started. The Rochester Community School District in Michigan was keeping dossiers on parents who were critical of COVID lockdowns. Elena Dinverno sued and was awarded S190,000.00. No one else was suing so the open question was how many parents and who? [Elizabeth] Clair said … Read more

I found this, among some others, over at Barnorama: “Taxes are like a subscription to your Country that you can’t cancel, no matter how bad the service gets.” Well, the “can’t cancel” bit is undoubtedly valid. Even if you are so low on the economic totem pole that you do not pay income taxes, except … Read more
Vermont’s largest abortion provider wants the 2025 Legislature to make up a projected $8.6 million, three-year shortfall. According to the Planned Parenthood of Northern New England Action Fund PAC 2024 candidate survey, the culprit is stingy, unsympathetic state and federal government services. “In recent years, Planned Parenthood patients’ access to care has been under attack … Read more
Before the door hits him in the ass, on the way out, Governor Chris Sununu issued an executive order rescinding 145 past executive orders going as far back as 2003. The list included several of his own, including nineteen from 2020 and 11 from 2021 (where we’ll likely find the pandemic-era Flununu flinch Emergency Orders). … Read more
Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Victor Davis Hanson said Friday on his podcast that President-elect Donald Trump could have a “cause for reversal” in the E. Jean Carroll case, citing the language used by the presiding judge. In May 2023, a New York jury found Trump liable for sexual battery and defamation, but stopped short of convicting him … Read more
The fallout from the withdrawal of Mindy Atwood for State Librarian continues to amuse. I think I made the points that needed making yesterday here (If Book Banning Is Bad, Why Can You Do It?) and here (Actually, Libraries Are The Problem), but when proglodytes give you low-hanging fruit…you make jam out of them. InDepth … Read more
As an academic and a legal commentator, I have sometimes disagreed with the United States Supreme Court, but I often stress the good-faith differences in how certain rights or protections are interpreted. One case, however, has long stood out for me as wildly off-base and wrongly decided: Kelo v. New London. The case allowed the government … Read more
On December 19, 1776, as the War for Independence stood on the brink of collapse, Thomas Paine published The American Crisis. Beginning with the immortal line of “THESE are the times that try men’s souls,” it was no mere essay – it was a rallying cry that turned despair into victory. The Crisis was written to inspire a weary … Read more
The Town of Windham is bad at elections. Before the 2020 Windham Incident, we don’t know how bad, but since then, they’ve failed at every opportunity to ensure election integrity. This required the Secretary of State to provide election monitors, which hasn’t done much good, and the most recent report on Windham’s progress is proof. … Read more
RealClear Wire The conservative constellation is ever expanding and contracting, a fact on display as the biggest MAGA stars prepare to descend on the Arizona desert at the invitation of Charlie Kirk, one of the youngest and increasingly most influential members of the Trump orbit.

The founders of Axios, Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen, have admitted that we, the hoi-polloi, now have more effect on the news than the mainstream media: The establishment media face tremendous pressure to remain the preeminent voice in shaping culture and politics, Axios chiefs Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen said Friday. VandeHei and Allen acknowledged citizen journalists … Read more
The Democrats all got the weekly email. By Democrats, I mean the politicians and the media. They all get a weekly edict from somebody, probably the same mysterious person who is actually running the country. Remember Obama saying he would love a third term where he would have a puppet President with an earpiece and … Read more
I’ve known Mike Biundo since the genesis of the NH TEA Party Coalition when some leaders of the various NH-based conservatarian groups decided that the Granite State needed such a movement. To be honest, he’s always been a bit more “ahem” circumspect than I on almost any issue you’d be willing to query us. I … Read more
