The New Hampshire General Court (i.e., our legislature) has finished for the year, except for a few votes on the Governor’s vetoes. I have crunched the numbers – i.e., the voting records of 2026 – to determine objectively which members are RINOs – Republicans In Name Only. I looked at every vote where Republicans voted opposite Democrats. ... Read more

Today, on the Morning Update, Seth Dillon (Babylon Bee) spoke at ARC and had some sage advice we’ve long advocated.

The Supreme Court is expected to issue several decisions on Monday, none of which is more controversial than its determination of whether the Fourteenth Amendment to the US Constitution authorizes birthright citizenship.

Anyone who listens to country music, any music, actually, will have heard their share of “the road that led me to you” songs.

Proglodytes are strange creatures. A few years ago, there was fanfare and parade confetti for the Jankowitch. Nina Jankowitz was hand-picked to be Joe Biden’s federal censor.
