Many Americans may wish that one day the nation can return to inter-party comity.

The lust for world government goes all the way back to the Tower of Babel. It’s the unquenchable thirst of men wanting to play god.

How Corporations, Activists, and Climate Alarmists Are Waging War on Farmers My first book, Small Farm Republic, argued that focusing on environmental carcinogens and other toxins was a wiser policy strategy than climate change policies that often spewed chemical pollution in renewables manufacturing geared toward the pursuit of carbon dioxide. I asserted that policies supporting … Read more
Ken Paxton, the current Texas Attorney General, is a candidate for the Texas U.S. Senate seat held by John Cornyn.

I need to take a break from the mindless politics happening in Washington, D.C., and the Great State of Maine. I thank both of these locales and the Democratic Socialists who call them their workplace for supplying the conservative writers across the country with an endless supply of stories. I cannot wait to see what … Read more

First off, I’d like to express thanks for the good fortune of having been born a couple of weeks prior to D-Day. And I’m not alone, as I have listened to various young “whipper-snappers” wishing that they should have been born “back then,” especially from two of the roughest and toughest, our American Marines. Seriously, … Read more

Written over several days (Note: I’m back in the US – a travel tale I’ll have in a separate post.) So it’s been several days, and overall, the frequency of “incoming” has gone down by a large margin. But while there are qualitative as well as quantitative indications of that, fire seems to be focused … Read more

A third-party vendor that makes bank on mandated New Hampshire vehicle inspections convinced a NH judge to demand that the inspections be resumed.

But some judge decided that a customer had … Read more
Rohit “Ro” Khanna (D-CA) is typically a very moderate Democrat who has a pretty honest perspective of what is happening in the country and world.

If you’re late for dinner, allow me to be the messenger of good news. HB451 was vetoed yesterday afternoon.

One … Read more
I am—or was—a basketball guy. It was my passion. I’ll even try to find a photo to prove it. I loved the Celtics and the NBA. But that was way back when. Now I’m immersed in legislative activities, a different kind of competition, but one that I embrace at the expense of keeping up with … Read more
