Roper: Did Republicans Get Played on Education Reform?

Thu, 2025-06-26 18:00 +0000
When the legislature was voting on H.454, I was, while painting my house (fun!), listening to an audiobook on the battle of Gettysburg. And I can’t help but notice some unfortunate parallels for Republicans with their vote on that bill and Pickett’s Charge, the infamous suicidal attack by the Army of Northern Virginia over a ...

Cardello: Is The New York City Mayor’s Race The Democrat Party’s Future?

Thu, 2025-06-26 14:00 +0000
New York City is the largest in the United States, with a population of 10.2 million residents. I say residents because the count includes all illegals living in the Big Apple as of the last census.

Thu, 2025-06-26 12:16 +0000
Against the backdrop of rising global inflation and greater volatility in financial markets, the value of Bitcoin as “digital gold” has become increasingly prominent.

Klar: New Study Finds Meat Eaters Share a Surprising Trait

Thu, 2025-06-26 02:00 +0000
A new study suggests vegetarians may be “less benevolent” than meat eaters. This may seem counterintuitive, given that among the chief motivations for giving up meat are concern for animal welfare and the environment. The study reinforces prior assessments that eating a plant-based diet does not make people less empathetic toward others, but rather, those ... Read more

It reached 100 degrees in New Hampshire’s largest city today. It’s no surprise that the spot with the most asphalt and concrete was slightly warmer than the rest.
