When I compare today’s heated demonstrations and destructive actions with America’s unity, which comes to mind when I hear “the United States,” I recall an old quote from the Chinese war strategist Sun Tzu: “The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.” America’s military is unequaled, so this strategy not only ...

Ms. Melanie Levesque is trying to diversify her campaign message.  It appears that she’s recognizing that the same old talking points of commuter rail, Planned Parenthood, and pro-Claremont activist judges are not resonating among independents. Instead of presenting action plans that can be implemented from the executive council chamber, Melanie is digging for dirt on ... Read more

Let’s take a look at the ridiculous hysteria the mainstream media is experiencing this week. Actually, every week is the same when it comes to Left-Wing media meltdowns. To be fair, hysteria is only second to TDS as a communicable disease on the networks. The Monday morning raid on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s residence in Washington ... Read more

Most marketing leaders still assume the attribution window shrank because tracking got harder. The real reason is simpler and more awkward: the first touch stopped existing in any form anyone could record. A shopper reads an answer inside a chat interface, hears the brand mentioned on a podcast, taps a link forwarded in a private ... Read more

When a lithium-ion battery ignites inside a rented apartment, the question of who pays rarely has one answer, and the fight starts the moment the hoses are rolled up. The battery pack, the charger, the device, the outlet, the lease, the renter’s policy, the landlord’s policy, the retailer who sold the thing, the importer who ... Read more

A breaker that trips twice in a week isn’t defective. Swapping it for a bigger one is the fastest way to turn a nuisance into a fire. The breaker is a sensor with a switch attached, and when it opens, it has already measured something on the circuit behind it and decided the condition is ... Read more

It’s 6 p.m. and the living room reads 74, which is what the thermostat was told to deliver back in July. Outside it’s 62 and dropping. The compressor kicks on, runs a short cycle, shuts off, and the homeowner opens the app wondering why the bill keeps climbing. The schedule the thermostat learned over a ... Read more

Most of what a modern garage door opener costs to run gets burned while nobody is using it. The motor barely registers. The transformer keeping the radio receiver, safety sensors, LEDs, and Wi-Fi module alive 24 hours a day is the real meter-spinner, and that’s the component federal regulators have been chasing for a decade. ...

Everyone keeps blaming the substation. The real constraint on the next wave of data center buildout is thermodynamics on the back side of the rack. Chips can be fed. The heat they throw off has to go somewhere, and in a lot of markets there is nowhere left to put it that isn’t already fought ... Read more

Did you see the news?

One of the dumbest things the Social Justice “Igors” ever birthed from their fetid womb of cultural Marxism was “appropriation.” The idea that if it’s not your culture, you can’t have it, use it, or express it. Unless it’s white, Western, colonialist culture and, more precisely, the American Constitutional Republic – then have at it. ... Read more

On December 15, 1791, the Bill of Rights was ratified and became part of the Constitution. Most people think they know why. But most actually don’t. It was birthed out of a brutal political battle between Federalists and Anti-Federalists over a question that nearly killed ratification: When the Constitution doesn’t mention a power, who gets ...

Don Bolduc’s ridiculous excuse of an endorsement of Democrat Socialist shill Chris Pappas continues to produce bad press for the retired General.

Pray.com sends emails every morning with a suggested reading and prayer.  They do that year-round, even in October, which they’ve declared “Fruit of the Spirit Month.”  Since 10/1, they’ve been sending a 2nd email later in the day.  That email includes a suggested thing to do, and for me, not all suggestions require equal effort. ...
