Thu, 2025-05-08 16:00 +0000
While the center-right spins up a recent District Court ruling that looks like another nail in the coffin of nationwide injunctions (restraining judicial tyranny is never a bad thing), another Judge Timothy Kelly just punched the DEI cabal in the throat. Background. Private Contractors sued the Federal Government on First Amendment grounds (among other things) ... Read more

Thu, 2025-05-08 14:00 +0000
At a recent celebration of the Pine Tree Riot in Weare, some of the chat turned to the question of what recourse does a citizen have when government actors (“officials”??) infringe on a person’s constitutional rights based upon a claim of a violation of a statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage. While this writer has ... Read more

Another Janet Mills Scandal

Thu, 2025-05-08 12:00 +0000
Maine Governor Janet Mills has been hailed as a leftist hero for “standing up to Trump.” Democrats across the land hailed her, lauded her, and smiled their Cheshire grins, putting her on the national map. People know who Janet Mills is, but with great exposure comes the opportunity for vulnerability. Mills put her state squarely ... Read more

Is It Finally Time to Study SSRIs Properly?

Thu, 2025-05-08 10:00 +0000
Questions have long been raised about the possible connection between Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) and violent crimes such as mass shootings at schools. Evidence that these antidepressants can contribute to violent behaviors, including suicide, has not prevented their widespread use – but a new recent Tennessee law may soon change that. The state will ... Read more

Shifting Education Funding to the State Probably Wouldn’t Lead To Higher Spending

Wed, 2025-05-07 22:00 +0000
The movement to shift public school funding from local governments to the state is driven by a core belief that the shift will bring more funding. But that assumption is almost certainly wrong. The National Education Association’s latest annual report on public school data drew media coverage this week for its finding that New Hampshire’s ... Read more

Tariff and Spend

Wed, 2025-05-07 20:00 +0000
President Trump has proposed using the revenue from his increased tariffs to lower or even eliminate income taxes — with a priority on removing Americans making less than 200,000 dollars a year from the tax rolls. Exempting more Americans from income taxes — and lowering taxes on other Americans— is certainly a worthwhile endeavor. However, ... Read more

Senator John Fetterman Targeted By … Dems

Wed, 2025-05-07 18:00 +0000
I had never heard of John Fetterman before he’d had a stroke. I can’t speak to his pre-stroke politics and am not inclined to hunt them down. Someone in the Democrat party thought him a suitable meat puppet to prevent the Republicans from seizing a US Senate Seat in Pennsylvania. The same party that picked ... Read more

Wed, 2025-05-07 16:00 +0000
Vermont climate activists in the legislature and beyond continue to insist that their policies will ultimately save Vermonters money. How they reach this mathematically questionable conclusion (apart from the scenario where the politicians rob Peter to pay for Paul’s “free” weatherization project and installation of cold climate heat pumps in which case Paul certainly saves ...

Not Teachers,…Nurses!

While I already wrote something about this year’s Nurses Week, our new governor has motivated me to do a follow up piece as she seemingly decided to snub these servants of mankind that went from heroes to zeroes during the Damn Emperor’s Reign of Terror.  You’ve heard me say it, time and again, ad nauseam.  ...

Fed Didn’t Want DOGE To Discover His Grift

Wed, 2025-05-07 12:00 +0000
In every procedural/cop show Hollywood produces, there are two tropes the writers can’t leave out. It’s as if they are required and will lose their guild membership if they do. Lawyering up is bad (sold as a sign of guilt), as is requiring a warrant before any search. I could go downtown and get a ... Read more

Enemies of 91A; Who Took A Walk And When

Having shared my recent article with an “apoplectic” constituent of one of the reps that “took a walk” on SB284, I was asked if this particular rep abstained from any other housing bill roll calls.  That communication inspired me to look at ALL the votes this rep abstained from.  Having done that with the goal ...
