Slash Military Spending: “Defense” Budgets are Bigger than Ever Before

Sat, 2024-12-07 23:00 +0000
It should go without saying that asking generals and other Pentagon bureaucrats about defense spending is like asking your barber if you need a haircut. They are hardly disinterested observers.  So, it’s not surprising at all that the usual pentagon uniformed technocrats, after failing their audit for the seventh time in a row, remain unrepentant. ...

Ayotte Says Mass ‘Sanctuary Insanity’ Won’t Come to NH [But It’s Already Here]

Sat, 2024-12-07 21:00 +0000
Governor-Elect Ayotte ran successfully on a slogan we put on shirts, mugs, stickers, and barware: “Don’t Mass up New Hampshire.” Her campaign’s take was slightly different, and on the whole, neither is original. Granite Staters have been mumbling about Massholes (I suspect) for as long as there’s been a Union. More so, since the cradle ... Read more

You’ll be on this list whether you like it or not. Mass surveillance is the Deep State’s version of ... Read more

Big Farma – Making People Sick So Drug Companies Can Make More Money

Sat, 2024-12-07 17:00 +0000

Its sponsors are Timothy Horrigan, Suzanne Vail, David Meuse, Jodi Newell, Loren Selig Last year’s effort, ... Read more

Lily Tang Williams, Can You Call Canada?

Fri, 2024-12-06 23:00 +0000
Canada has declared another 300 models of guns (mostly the scary kind) to be illegal (bringing the total number to more than 2000). The government will ‘buy them back’ (most likely at a small fraction of their actual values). Then that same government will donate the guns to Ukraine. What will they be used for ... Read more

Fri, 2024-12-06 19:00 +0000
On Saturday night, Donald Trump announced he intends to appoint Kash Patel as director of the FBI. The news sparked an immediate frenzy from establishment figures across media and politics.

Seth Moulton’s Not The Problem, It’s Democrat Priorities

Fri, 2024-12-06 13:00 +0000
Remember Seth Moulton? He of the church of the sudden change of heart. The Massachusetts Congressman did a complete 180 from pro-trans sports to keep the boys off the girls’ teams and his fellow Democrats have been howling ever since. It reminds me of how NH Dems responded to local Democrat Jonah Wheeler when he ... Read more

Want to Cut Federal Workers? Just Cut Spending

Fri, 2024-12-06 11:00 +0000
Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been making a lot of noise about all the federal employees it plans to fire. The DOGE people have framed total federal employment as something of a proxy for the total size of the federal government.  Cutting the federal workforce is all well and good, but ... Read more
