Growing up in England, I was always aware of the socialist inclinations of my mother country. But I was lucky; I was brought up in a conservative household embracing a deep reverence for tradition, a strong sense of community, and pride in national identity. English conservatism is very cultural and institutional. Socialism in the UK ... Read more

When I say bad for NH Dems, and in this case I think it was the Congressional Dems that Hairgel was using as mules for his 2028 Presidential aspirations, it isn’t bad for them and their base.

Accusations are flying from both sides about the government’s weaponization for political gain. We know that there have been behind-the-scenes actions taken against opponents for years; look up Watergate on Google. But the modern version has its roots in the Obama administration. Whether out of seeking power over the opposition or outright fear, Obama used ... Read more

When I compare today’s heated demonstrations and destructive actions with America’s unity, which comes to mind when I hear “the United States,” I recall an old quote from the Chinese war strategist Sun Tzu: “The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.” America’s military is unequaled, so this strategy not only ...

Ms. Melanie Levesque is trying to diversify her campaign message.  It appears that she’s recognizing that the same old talking points of commuter rail, Planned Parenthood, and pro-Claremont activist judges are not resonating among independents. Instead of presenting action plans that can be implemented from the executive council chamber, Melanie is digging for dirt on ... Read more

Let’s take a look at the ridiculous hysteria the mainstream media is experiencing this week. Actually, every week is the same when it comes to Left-Wing media meltdowns. To be fair, hysteria is only second to TDS as a communicable disease on the networks. The Monday morning raid on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s residence in Washington ... Read more

Most marketing leaders still assume the attribution window shrank because tracking got harder. The real reason is simpler and more awkward: the first touch stopped existing in any form anyone could record.

When a lithium-ion battery ignites inside a rented apartment, the question of who pays rarely has one answer, and the fight starts the moment the hoses are rolled up. The battery pack, the charger, the device, the outlet, the lease, the renter’s policy, the landlord’s policy, the retailer who sold the thing, the importer who ... Read more

A breaker that trips twice in a week isn’t defective. Swapping it for a bigger one is the fastest way to turn a nuisance into a fire. The breaker is a sensor with a switch attached, and when it opens, it has already measured something on the circuit behind it and decided the condition is ... Read more

It’s 6 p.m. and the living room reads 74, which is what the thermostat was told to deliver back in July. Outside it’s 62 and dropping.

Most of what a modern garage door opener costs to run gets burned while nobody is using it. The motor barely registers. The transformer keeping the radio receiver, safety sensors, LEDs, and Wi-Fi module alive 24 hours a day is the real meter-spinner, and that’s the component federal regulators have been chasing for a decade. ...

Everyone keeps blaming the substation. The real constraint on the next wave of data center buildout is thermodynamics on the back side of the rack. Chips can be fed.

One of the dumbest things the Social Justice “Igors” ever birthed from their fetid womb of cultural Marxism was “appropriation.” The idea that if it’s not your culture, you can’t have it, use it, or express it.
