According to polls taken in recent years (e.g., Pew Research, Gallup, Data for Progress), a solid majority of Democrats and well over a third of all Americans are in favor of replacing the current healthcare system with a proposal known as “Medicare for All,” where privately owned hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and medical practices would continue ...

Scott McKay at America Spectator has a piece (teasingly labeled part 1) about the modern battle between the sexes and the race to the bottom. I’m calling the entries that follow the Five Black Pills, but they’re really more like separate buckets of discontent with the pills floating at the top. The items I’m highlighting ... Read more

Though New Hampshire legislators have passed about 30 housing reform bills in the last three years, possibly the biggest reform—lowering minimum lot sizes—has remained elusive. Many legislators have refused to support it because they view it as too controversial.  Yet a new St. Anselm College Poll shows that legalizing small homes on small lots is ... Read more

The only cure for a corrupted republic? As the man the founders called “the celebrated Montesquieu” told us: “by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles.” Everything else is doomed to fail. “Every other correction,” he warned, “is either useless or a new evil.” In order to get from where things are today to ...

I confess I’m a bit disappointed. When I saw the headline touting Biden’s award from Planned Parenthood, I was envisioning a brick with a sculpture of bloody forceps. And I’m not sure why it isn’t called the Kermit Gosnell Award. Biden received the 2026 Sonia Schorr Sloan Service Award from the abortion biz and Biden ... Read more

The overall economic news is good. GDP is up, wages and annual income are up, inflation is under control, the economy is adding real jobs, and hundreds of thousands of people who wanted full-time work but were stuck in part-time hell have found full-time jobs.

While the political left wails about another act of Trump tyranny, the real infringement has gone unreported and practically unnoticed. CNN, MSNOW, and Politico sued to regain their campus access rights to the White House. There’s no such thing, but a judge has already ordered that they be allowed back. The nation is filled with ...

The Democrat Party has a long anti-democratic history; now it’s fielding Democrat Socialists of America (DSA) candidates who want to replace the American Constitution that protects our rights, and implement policies that will make American life more dangerous, less free, and much poorer.   Democrats use government to violate our rights or allow them to ...

Until this year, 1914 was the least active Atlantic Basin hurricane season on record. I know, on record doesn’t mean much. If the Earth is 4 billion years old, the absence of 3.9999999999… billion years’ worth of records makes any predictions or remembrances appear insignificant.

There are and have been cases where a pregnant mother is killed, and both deaths are litigated as wrongful deaths.
