Sun, 2025-05-04 22:00 +0000
The Washington Post is reporting today that recently-ousted National Security Advisor Mike Waltz may have been involved in activities even more nefarious than inviting journalists onto highly sensitive Signal group chats. It appears that what really angered President Trump is less Waltz’s incompetence (or worse) in keeping sensitive military communications secure, but rather his taking an active ... Read more

Chemical Coat Hangers

Sun, 2025-05-04 20:00 +0000
The political Left’s obsession with managing the death of others ought to be a disqualification for anything short of a straitjacket. Luckily for them, entire industries exist to launder money into their campaigns to keep them out of prison and in public office.

Last night I was the keynote speaker at the Sullivan County Lincoln-Reagan Dinner. Michelle and I had a great time.

Sun, 2025-05-04 12:00 +0000
I recently reported on news that China was quickly swirling down the economic drain as Trump’s big, beautiful tariffs did the work they were meant to do.

Is It Chaos Or Productivity

Sun, 2025-05-04 10:00 +0000
Spend a few minutes on CNN or MSNBC, and you will not be making any long-range plans. Every one of these dour hosts or guests has America at an existential moment where, at any second, we will cease to exist. First, I thought that existential was one of last year’s words. If the Democrats are ... Read more

THOU SHALT NOT STEAL

Sat, 2025-05-03 22:00 +0000
Property rights throughout our nation and around the world suffer because a supposed environmental doomsday is coming. Socialists are marketing this emotion-triggering threat to limit and control property rights. The evil nature legalizing this silent plunder turns the purpose of government to protect life and property upside down. Once again, the age-old strategy of using ... Read more

NYT Contradicts Pritzker – What Will #NHDEMS13 Do?

Sat, 2025-05-03 20:00 +0000
If you missed it, big ole’ JB Pritzker was the keynote speaker at a pricey fundraiser the local Proglodytes threw themselves. I’m sure they raised some dough and, with Act Blue headed to federal and state courts over its disregard for campaign finance law, they may need it. The big Guy (Pritzker, not Biden) made ...

Sat, 2025-05-03 18:00 +0000
Regardless of what side of SB284 you’re on, let’s look at some numbers.

My recent article on Housing Bill Madness was published while Nurse Terese and Keith Hanson had Senator Murphy and a few other guests on the air for a ‘polite’ discussion.  When time was up, it was definitely a “to be continued” situation, though both chambers are set to meet today.  That means some of what ...
