SIMS: Live Free, Play Fair — New Hampshire Must Sign SB552 to Protect Women’s and Girls’ Sports

1 hour 22 min ago

Granite Staters — girls, women, boys, and men — we stand at a crossroads. New Hampshire’s motto is “Live Free or Die.” Today, that freedom includes protecting the hard-won rights of women and girls in sports. I walked away from the Democratic Party because they abandoned biological reality—allowing biological males into women’s sports, erasing fair ... Read more

MACDONALD: The Proglodytes Lose Their Hive Mind Over Elon’s Success

Mon, 2026-06-15 21:00 +0000

When news broke about the SpaceX IPO, I knew it was about to get entertaining. Musk becoming the first trillionaire was a headline destined to drag every envy-peddling Marxist douchebag out from under their rock (which often looks remarkably similar to a mansion) to caterwaul. All they see is someone with more than them who, ... Read more

Which Delivers Better Results: 6 Step Professional Mold Removal or DIY Sprays?

Mon, 2026-06-15 20:26 +0000

When mold appears in your home, it can be tempting to grab a spray bottle and treat the surface yourself. While DIY sprays may temporarily lighten staining or reduce visible growth, they rarely address the source of the problem.

Mon, 2026-06-15 18:00 +0000

The second-largest teachers’ union in the U.S. may be using pensions to advance its political agenda, an education watchdog suggests. The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) has advocated for fossil fuel divestments, pro-DEI boycotts and other pressure campaigns, Consumers’ Research told acting U.S. Secretary of Labor Keith Sonderling in a letter Wednesday. The letter requests an investigation into whether AFT is ... Read more

IMANI: The Unholy Alliance Between Islam and the Left

Mon, 2026-06-15 14:00 +0000

The progressive establishment in the United States maintains a transactional syndicate with radical Islamist factions to lock down institutional power. This structural cartel sacrifices Western secular principles, democratic consistency, and basic human rights on the altar of raw electoral survival. The political left and Islamist organizers operate a highly coordinated machine built on mutual opportunism. ... Read more

JBARTLETT: Does Jeff Bezos Benefit From A NH Business Enterprise Tax Cut?

Mon, 2026-06-15 09:00 +0000

New Hampshire’s unique state tax structure is hard to understand, especially for people who don’t own a business.  More than a third (36%) of the state General Fund and Education Trust Fund revenue comes from business taxes.  The vast majority of that comes from the Business Profits Tax (BPT), but the lesser-known Business Enterprise Tax ...

ANDERSON: How American Progressives Influenced Hitler

Mon, 2026-06-15 02:00 +0000

In a recent article, I agreed with Justice Clarence Thomas that progressivism has done (and still does) much damage to our body politic and society. Obviously, the so-called intelligentsia in academe, politics, and the media didn’t agree. What really set off the critics, however, was Thomas’s claim that progressivism had helped pave the way for Hitler, ... Read more

MACDONALD: Is Parading Your Sexuality Around Gross?

Sun, 2026-06-14 21:00 +0000

Is parading your sexuality around gross? It’s inappropriate and bad manners; so is Pride Month Gross? It is. As Nate Jackson notes at Patriot Post, When you strip away all the high-minded garbage about diversity, equity, and inclusion, about “seeing” people and making them feel accepted, about how “love wins,” about making some kind of “identity” ...

CARDELLO: Transgender Individuals Need to Get Real

Sun, 2026-06-14 18:00 +0000

I admit I have a difficult time discussing the transgender subject because I do not believe in the concept, which makes all my other reasons moot. I do not understand the terminology and, therefore, the arguments. Non-binary and bisexual shut me down because I do not feel confident discussing, let alone debating, these terms created ...

Sun, 2026-06-14 14:00 +0000

Many Democrat Party candidates claim to be “Democratic Socialists”, Socialists, and Communists; other Democrats claim to be “Progressives”, while expressing similar ideas.  In the past, many Democrats extolled the benefits of various forms of Marxism, e.g., Fascism, Nazism, Socialism, and Communism.

MACDONALD: A Great Idea With No Hope of Success

Sun, 2026-06-14 11:00 +0000

Term limits are not a new notion. Career politicians are, without a doubt, the worst possible outcome. In fact, I’ve said more than once that paying them is a mistake. Every time a legislature tries to give itself a raise, or more benefits, or any income at all, my advice is no. New Hampshire pays ... Read more
