I think I mentioned that violence on the left at scale was inevitable. Not the parade, protest, riot sort, something much more intentional and aggressive. Yes, you’d have the other stuff we’ve seen, but it would be the widespread insurrection we’ve long expected. And when the DSA started putting “points on the board,” as Democrat ... Read more

Jihad is at the core of the “religion of peace.” Jihad occupies most of Islam’s theology and concerns. Jihad is addressed in 9% of the Mecca Quran; 24% of the Medinan Quran; and in 67% of the Sira. True to form, Muslims claim that the emphasis on jihad is about the individual battling his own faults and flaws, ... Read more

I noticed a short article in the 9/5/26 Daily Sun, “City 50 Years Ago,” by Warren Huse, about the City looking into a “regional Incinerator for trash.”  Famous broadcaster Paul Harvey always added a prologue at the end of each of his stories where he would say, “and now you know the rest of the ...

Magnesium has become a common part of bedtime routines, especially for people who want a non-melatonin option. The mineral is involved in normal nerve and muscle function, but taking magnesium does not automatically mean better sleep. The important questions are which form makes sense, how much magnesium a supplement actually provides, and what the research ... Read more

Today, on the Morning Update, it’s been 25 years since September 11th, 2001. A day that changed America, the world, and me. It is an anniversary and a reminder.

25 years. 36% of my life is in that time period. While I can’t say that I still remember Eugen every day, every once in a while, I do. And like most of us in our cohort, it has shaped our lives and those of our children (especially those of us whose children then went ... Read more

History is littered with the ghosts of empires that fell and vanished entirely. Babylon is a set of quiet ruins; the Western Roman Empire exists only in textbooks; the ancient Hittites and Assyrians were ultimately swallowed by time. Yet, sitting on the vast high plateau between the Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf is a ... Read more

The latest University of New Hampshire’s Free-Speech ranking from FIRE is unimpressive. Even lousy. But my expectations were always low. It was never a bastion of First Amendment Rights, and it has – in truth – had a few speech scandals that went nationwide with our help. I’ve also taken FIRE to task in the past for ... Read more

The system currently in place for Sexual Assault Response Training allows the rapist to get away and the wrong person to get framed.  The State must do better if it really wants to keep rapists off the streets.

A few months back, the University of New Hampshire ran a poll showing that 86 percent of Vermonters found the state to be unaffordable and 64 percent of prime working-age folks 18-34 were actively planning to leave. Last week, the Fiscal Alliance Foundation followed up with another poll, this one asking (among other things) what would make someone change ... Read more

A crash with a government vehicle isn’t the same claim as a crash with your neighbor’s SUV, and treating it like one is how good cases die. The other driver may look ordinary.

A crash with a government vehicle is a different animal than a crash with the driver next to you at the light, and pretending otherwise is how people lose winnable cases.

Democrats in Congress refused to denounce socialism. Only 8 democrats voted with Republicans to condemn it. All of those are in competitive races, so they couldn’t vote the way they wanted, or they might lose their seat.

For generations, small farms have run on tradition, experience, and long days in the field.
