Sandy Cortez’s squad has had some attrition issues lately. Ironically, they fell off Team Marx via the same tactic Cotezz had tried to get them there in the first place. Sandy’s plan has been to primary old school Dems with young commies, but a few of the citizens seem to have lost interest in that. … Read more
Minnesota governor and former vice presidential candidate Tim Walz said: Once I had my own children, it became so clear to me. And I think it made me a really good teacher, that that child who came through the door was somebody’s most special thing in their life. Thinking of a parent dressing their little … Read more
If you read my 8 AM post this morning, you’ll know I don’t make resolutions at New Year’s because the idea behind them is part of my everyday. That does not diminish the opportunity to use the cultural paradigm of a calendar flip to leverage improvements among bad actors, be it misfeasance or malfeasance. I’m … Read more
In 2024, the Green Mountain State saw education costs, aka property taxes, rise more than 13%. All while academic performance continued to decline. The 13% rise could have been higher had the tax rate not been bought down with one-time funds. The low staff/student ratio, increased compensation costs, the Legislature’s incentivizing local school spending, and … Read more
New Year’s Eve is the premier alcoholic consumption holiday on the planet (even where it is banned or prohibited). I’ve consumed a few myself in years past, but I declared two things tied to this holiday long ago. First, I don’t like how I feel when tipsy, so I don’t drink enough to get there … Read more
Rand Paul was the featured guest speaker for the NRCC annual fundraiser, known as the Steak Out, on October 11. The cover charge included a copy of his new book, Deception, and attendees lined up to watch their copies get autographed in person after his keynote speech. Because I’m a slow reader and already had … Read more
Political analyst Mark Halperin warned Friday that as President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration approaches, efforts to block him from assuming office will intensify. In a Thursday column for The Hill, liberal attorneys Evan Davis and David Schulte argued that Congress can still prevent Trump from taking office on Jan. 20 by rejecting electoral votes on Jan. 6, claiming Trump is disqualified under … Read more
Tom Murray and Ken Eyring, the guys from the Government Integrity Project, joined me for a Maiden Reboot episode of GrokTALK! to discuss the flaming sh!twagon doing business as elections in Windham, New Hampshire. We review past election offenses and what appear to be years of systemic coverups, misfeasance, and perhaps malfeasance in the lead-up … Read more
Among the many promises and commitments that he has made during his ongoing transition period, President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to pull U.S. support for the World Health Organization and cancel its commitments related to the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. If a new report issued this week by the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources and … Read more
New Hampshire’s attorney general recently made the news by becoming the new National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) president. I’m going to rain on his parade for the moment and point out a few things, one of them being that his predecessor in that very position got elected in NY on a “get Trump” platform. … Read more
It is always encouraging when a non–Austrian School economist accepts through his own reasoning an essential tenet of Austrian economics. Ruchir Sharma, who is chairman of Rockefeller International, founder and chief investments officer of Breakout Capital, and a well-known economic journalist, is not an Austrian, though he is aware of Friedrich Hayek’s work. He lends … Read more
Finally, after the Christmas rush, my barber shop returned to its natural pace. The wait was even gratifying for listening and then partaking in the back and forths, which renewed my faith in Americanism. This should have been expected since a picture of Trump was hanging on a wall that faced a “Go Brandon” sign on … Read more
Andy Kessler writes in his latest Wall Street Journal column that the U.S. “is strong precisely because we don’t all think the same way. New ideas come from new ways of thinking.” Kessler puts it so well. We individuals generally see the present and future very differently, and it’s this very division praised by Kessler that powers so … Read more
My headline quotes Nicolas Barry. He’s America First Legal Senior Counsel, and he points out the problem the Trump administration will need to wrestle with if it intends to ‘Shatter the left-wing censorship machine.’ You can fire public employees (it is not always easy, but it can be done), investigate them for suppressing protected speech, … Read more
The Bill of Rights was born from intense battles between Federalists and Anti-Federalists over delegated and reserved powers. This clash not only shaped its contested origins but also left its true purpose misunderstood to this day. 1. Initial Efforts Rejected During the Philadelphia Convention on Sept. 12, 1787, George Mason proposed adding a declaration of … Read more
It’s almost Inauguration Day 2025, and liberals are still proving they haven’t learned a single lesson from Donald Trump’s election victory in November. Democrats are currently rudderless and jostling for power ahead of their Feb. 1 vote to elect a new chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), a job that will prove crucial in … Read more
I have been a high-tech worker since I taught myself programming back in the 1970’s after building a computer kit in the Navy. At that time, I was an electronics technician, maintaining and repairing communications and radar systems aboard ship. After reading articles in magazines about “microcomputers”, I decided to purchase one and see what … Read more
In “Abolition: An Acid Test,” Murray Rothbard criticized libertarians who defended slavery as part of their defense of property rights. Those libertarians had argued that slaves were classified as property and, therefore, abolishing slavery would be tantamount to expropriation of the slaveowners’ property. This was indeed one of the arguments put forward by slaveowners who … Read more
Eagle-eyed New England energy observer Meredith Angwin of Wilder pointed out an inconvenient fact on X this Monday: when it’s cold (like this week) and people are home more than usual (like this week), ‘green’ New England burns oil and coal to make electricity. “We are having our first real cold snap,” the author of Shorting … Read more
The headline is a narrative the Democrats are running with, and it’s a total lie. Here’s Hakeem (bless you) Jeffries repeating the lie to enthusiastic members of their handmaiden media. Here’s Lizard Warren repeating the same Lie as the media eats it up without any context, question or challenge. I bring it up because this … Read more
