Today, on the morning update, the Islamic Republic of Iran has been at war with America for over 45 years, which is actually a very short war for Muslims and Islam.

The shellacking the New England Patriots received at the hands of the Seattle Seahawks is analogous to the decisive blows God-fearing patriots have suffered for decades.

The real battleground The existential yearnings emerging inside the hearts and minds of people throughout the world—yearnings that no doubt have existed since time began, though not always consciously realized—are stirring like the struggle of a chrysalis.

The black box redactions on Nashua’s Performing Arts Center legal invoices were not a mistake. They were reviewed and approved by the City’s Legal Office. When I wrote last week about Nashua’s “Epstein-style” redactions, I left open the possibility that the City might claim error. Maybe someone inexperienced had over-redacted. Maybe a clerk panicked. Maybe ... Read more

Today on the Morning Update, remember when Dan Crenshaw was a breath of fresh air in DC. Not exactly MAGA or a Trump homer, but he spoke truth to common sense and the establishment.

One does not need to be in Nashua to be familiar with Ward 8’s biggest loudmouth, Rep. Laura Telerski.  She always has something to say, no matter the level of government, and she delights in airing her opinion at every opportunity.  She’s akin to that FOOL that’s mentioned in Proverbs 18:2.  On the heels of ...

One way to grasp the essence of Politics Without Politicians (by Hélène Landemore) is to view it as the polar opposite to Hans-Hermann Hoppe’s Democracy: The God That Failed. Hoppe thinks that democracy is a mistake: Hélène Landemore—a professor of political science at Yale University—thinks we do not have enough of it. What we call “democracy” today, in ... Read more

Government shutdowns, even partial ones, are inexcusable, disruptive to the American way of life, and potentially dangerous to national security if certain departments are defunded during the downtime. Shutdowns are the direct result of Congress, either the House or Senate, or both, not doing their jobs and negotiating a budget before the deadline, when the ... Read more
