If you are in the business of selling vaccines or collecting kickbacks for moving product, then the next best thing to the COVID injectables appears to be the Monkey Pox Jab. What is it, exactly? Well, it is an actual vaccine. Great, but new research suggests it only provides (whatever protection it offers) for a … Read more
While all eyes are mostly focused on the presidential election, a threat to our constitutional republic is flying under the public’s radar: the usurpation of total power over all nations at the United Nations Summit of the Future in New York City on September 22nd and 23rd. The Psalmists expose this evil nature of men … Read more
Just days after we reported on ads running in Michigan to sway the Muslim vote away from Democrats (7 days, to be exact), a prominent Michigan Democrat Mayor who happens to be Muslim has endorsed Donald Trump for President. Mayor Ghalib’s endorsement is making waves. Michigan is home to one of the most significant Muslim … Read more
My breach with Islam started as far back as I could discern things. More to the point, I never embraced Islam in the first place, although I was born and raised in a Muslim family. For one thing, I had a tough time following a so-called religion whose founder and followers had butchered my ancestors, … Read more
It is nearly impossible to find literature on politics or American culture that doesn’t equate some totalitarian forms as right-wing. And while that was fine when the spectrum was a circle – you could put Hitler and Mussolini next to Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Bernie, and Kamal Harris- it has since been laid on a straight … Read more
This week we learned that the KGB running the BOW school district clamped down on a parent’s right to exercise free speech. A few paarents in the Bow school district decided to wear pink wrist bands at their daughters’ soccer game in support of female only sports teams. In this case, the Bow girls soccer … Read more
Over three years ago, our New Hampshire Education Commissioner stopped me at the State House just outside Representatives Hall. “You should sue!” he counseled. “Why?” “Didn’t you see that Union Leader opinion piece today?” I soon found out that I was featured on a purported white supremacist list—which also included the commissioner—in a screed written by a … Read more
If you are a fiscally conscious voter, we have some good news. Recent research by the Manhattan Institute suggests that border jumpers (no duh! moment approaching) represent a significant cost to taxpayers that their deportation would alleviate. The complete unroll is impressive (look here), but the gist is that the cost of illegal immigration is … Read more
It’s all about Accountability, and that has become a tool that only turns one way. We are to be held accountable by the Government in so many ways, but they are not. How do I know this? Secret Service Agents to Be Disciplined Over July 13 Trump Shooting, Director Says The agency director said there … Read more
The otherwise intolerant and intolerable State of Massachusetts amended its firearms laws over the summer. It might have been the heat (more likely the lawsuits) that inspired them, but they managed to cough up H4885, “An Act modernizing firearm laws.” Aside from being an overly long mess, it allows nonresidents to travel through the state armed … Read more
This campaign by Kamala Harris is the biggest show about nothing since the end of the Seinfeld series. Every question she answers, and there have been a record low number of them, is with a rehearsed dialog serving of word salad that has little to do with the question. Whether on a podcast or the … Read more
Bow-Dunbarton School Superintendent Ms. Marcy Kelley, fresh off polishing her jackboots on the reputation of one local dad who supports girls’ sports, has taken down another. Kyle Fellers got “the letter” with the School Administrative unit letterhead telling him, in essence, he’s not the sort of person they want around. He’s been banned from all … Read more

Democrats are not being adequately held accountable for the side effects of policies they not only support but defend. While the economy is high on everyone’s list, their border and migration policy is far more devastating. And I’m not talking about eating other people’s pets – which – as an aside, is, in fact, something … Read more
Yeah, curmudgeon here. When I was younger, I played around with X10 devices to create a “smart home” and all that. But when I saw this, I said “Yep, nope!”: Smart House should be MY house without all the electronic peeping toms watching everything I do: vacuum cleaners, lights, thermostats, Alexa, Siri, and all the … Read more
The Commission on the Future of Public Education in VT’s subcommittee on Finance Reform met on September 4th (going back a bit, but the Commission has not been too punctual about posting its meeting recordings). It was their first meeting so, in fairness, expectations for any real substance were low. Still, some initial observations are worth … Read more
The Peter Principle: …is a concept in management developed by Laurence J.

It happened at the end of last month: Laconia superintendent steps down Steve … Read more
Today, our military services face growing threats around the world while their ability to maintain a quality, well-trained, and capable force is at risk.
