The progressive industrial complex, by its nature, looks for ways to justify non-productive use of tax dollars. It justifies the creation of institutions (agencies) staffed with people on a taxpayer payroll whose primary interest is almost always keeping their jobs. And what better way than inventing rights you are then obligated to protect. That’s the ... Read more

This right here. This is an excellent example of the sort of BS license the Handmaiden media takes with the truth.

We all can agree that in today’s world, a military clash between superpowers is self-defeating.  Having militarily conquered the weaker and vulnerable, America represented a military and economic powerhouse.  So, the communists devised a game plan of gradual and patient infiltration that targeted the hearts and minds of its future generations.  Over time, its effects ...

Tim Walz should have stayed in the shadows. You heard very little about Tim during his 6 terms in the House of Representatives, primarily because of his lack of effectiveness.

Nashua residents should be paying close attention as the city heads toward what could become an 8% property‑tax increase in 2027.

The words “Body positivity” is a lot like “climate change.” The climate is always changing, and at certain times in Earth’s four-billion-ish history, it was more or less hostile to life, including ours.
