I don’t think we’re likely to escape accusations of political targeting as the default response to any investigation of anyone “on the other side.” We can note that Obama really got this ball rolling when he began targeting businesses in his first term, and his IRS went into Hitler mode to stop Tea Party groups … Read more
John Maynard Keynes, British Fabian Socialist and author of Keynesian Economics, quoted Lenin when he proclaimed that his system would be the “euthanasia of capitalism.” He also boasted: “By this means (fractional reserve banking) government may secretly and unobserved, confiscate the wealth of the people, and not one man in a million will detect the … Read more
The late President Reagan played a crucial role in dismantling the scourge of Soviet communism, while you, Mr. President, are committed to consigning the standard bearers of Islamic terrorism to their well-deserved demise. Mr. President, you have repeatedly pointed out that appeasing tyrants invariably fails to satisfy them and only serves to whet their appetite. … Read more
You remember COGE (Commission on Government Efficiency), don’t you? Kelly Ayotte’s answer to DOGE, which she packed with NHGOP insiders, her cronies, and her donors. COGE produced “hard-hitting” recommendations such as “creating ‘sponsorship and naming programs’ to generate money from state-owned parks and recreational sites.” House Bill 1706, which would repeal the Department of Health and … Read more
Today on the Morning Update, are the UN’s days numbered? The United Nations’ cash flow problems are getting worse, which has me wondering if Mr. Trump’s plan is to get the world to defund the UN until it collapses under its own corrupt bureaucratic weight.

If you are unfamiliar with Walter Hudson, then you are missing out on some genius hot takes and sober analysis of things going on in Minnesota. I am only recently acquainted and wish I’d found him a few months ago. His commentary on the anti-ICE protests and the shenanigans is outstanding and worth your time … Read more
This week, on GrokTALK! I open with some fun facts: Everyone in Minnesota knew about the fraud, started to do something about it, but Democrats killed, rewrote it, and now it’s toothless. Then I discuss a growing trend among elected officials, at least in New Hampshire, to publicly tell judges they are out of their … Read more
We are a society of strong words, fair intentions, and little conviction for living up to either. After Hitler exterminated 6 million Jews, the world vowed it would never sit idly by and let another massacre happen; not on our watch. Then we watched Pol Pot kill 3 million Cambodians. China is incarcerating as many … Read more

Welcome back to another installment of Monday Memes. It’s a bit beefier than usual, mostly from a handful of “Iran” memes that came my way after I’d already put the post together. Extra memes. Not really a hardship. Here we go. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
Two of the 14 Marine Corps Leadership Traits are Initiative and Decisiveness, and President Trump certainly took some initiative and was decisive with his decision to bomb Iran and decapitate its leaders. (Other traits include Dependability, Tact, Integrity, Unselfishness, and Loyalty, which are subjects for a different column.) As was the case with his decision … Read more

I’ll talk about Anthropic in just a moment. First, a true story. When working for a defense contractor in the early 2020s, I was assigned to work on a system (name redacted for obvious reasons) that had been designed in the early 1990s and then fully rolled out in the mid 1990s after multiple successful … Read more
I landed in Israel on Friday in the early afternoon, and at passport control, I was asked whether I was aware of the situation with Iran and whether I really wanted to enter. I said I knew it was tense, and looking back, I wonder how much the passport officer actually knew about what was going to … Read more

We end on Olympic joy and a … Read more
Garry Rayno just dropped over 1300+ words to explain just how little he actually knows or understands the problem of education funding in New Hampshire. I know. Veteran journalist.
