Would it surprise you to know that if you give people free money, they’ll earn less? The National Bureau of Economic Research ran a three-year study that gave poor people a bag of cash every month to see how it would affect their behavior. Guess what happened. We study the causal impacts of income on ... Read more

Yes, you heard it right! In a recent appearance on CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Harris found herself in a pickle, trying ... Read more

Multiple civil rights groups from California to Illinois have just joined six New Hampshire state reps in an attempt to protect their citizens from what some call Massachusetts’ misapplication of gun laws. These challenges to the state’s firearms licensing scheme stem in part from the prosecution of two motorists, Dean Donnell and Philip Marquis, who ... Read more
As November 2024 approaches, it seems appropriate to revisit this third rail of New Hampshire politics: election fraud in the Granite State. There were anomalies, not just in now-infamous Windham and not just in 2020, but this caught my eye, so I thought I’d share it as a reminder. Note: Right Rally will ultimately be ... Read more
Monday Monday, can’t trust that day! Last week’s Friday Edition. Remember, ridicule and mockery are effective weapons: 1. Ridicule cannot easily be fought 2. Ridicule makes the enemy angry, and angry people make mistakes 3. For those in the “squishy middle” a Thought Splinter (and Part II and Part III and Part IV) can often be hidden inside humor. Now, ... Read more
I have been independently investigating the Pease Development Authority – Division of Ports and Harbors [PDA-DPH] regarding decisions and process issues that I believe are unfair and discriminatory and appear to violate New Hampshire state law.

It is impressive how marketing carefully chooses words to mask a situation and give it a positive spin. One of my all-time favorites is Reproductive Rights. It sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? In the case of women, Reproductive Rights must involve protecting a female to decide to become pregnant and have children on their terms ... Read more
With few exceptions, college campuses are America’s least intellectually diverse places. If not for the federal takeover of student loans, which has laundered billions into the hands of progressive experts, that might matter, as they feel the same pinch as local print-news media—another vestigial cultural affectation we no longer need. You can get news – ... Read more

Democrats excoriate Trump and then think that we won’t see Kamala doing the same kinds of things. “So many Democrat voting women, often married, think Trump is untrustworthy because they believe he slept with side chicks. So now they are going to demonstrate how much they hate Trump by voting for the actual side chick, ... Read more
We all know about the Fifth Amendment and the protection against self-incrimination. If a person does not wish to speak to a government official, they can “plead the fifth” and then remain silent. There are countless examples of people who unwittingly give cops and prosecutors the rope they eventually use to hang them at trial. It is almost always best to say nothing to government agents. Anything you say or do really WILL be used against you by cops. They are not “cool” or “just making conversation.” They are cleverly manipulating you into digging your own grave. Shut up and say nothing except “I invoke my Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights to remain silent and be provided with a lawyer.” This is literally the advice that cops, lawyers, and judges give to their own children about interacting with police.

The Republicans, having passed HB1002, not only made it more expensive for investigators trying to find malfeasance within the Government, but they also hobbled people like me in a different way. Or, actually, not. Never mind. Rewind. Fagettiaboutit. Consider this just a post that describes what Republicans attempted to do (stick a political shiv into ... Read more
Former President Donald Trump recently suggested repealing income tax on Social Security benefits. Is it pandering, or is it an idea with merit? Trump wrote on Truth Social, “SENIORS SHOULD NOT PAY TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY!” Whether you think paying income tax on Social Security is appropriate or not, what actually happens? The government levies ... Read more
Fitness guru and biological woman Jillian Michaels took to her webspace this week, publishing a long and well-thought-out treatise on the problem of allowing men to compete against women in professional sports—any sports, really, whether they’ve had their hormones blocked or their bodies altered. Sports performance is determined by a host of physiological components: musculoskeletal ... Read more
There is a perfect opportunity presenting itself at the Paris Olympics right now. Men are beating up women in the boxing events. At least some of the women are bowing out of their fights, correctly fearing for their lives. Why don’t the women organize an alternate boxing tournament (Herlympic Boxing?), featuring the women who qualified ... Read more
Never mind a tough question: can someone please ask Kamala Harris a legitimate policy-related question? It has been nearly two weeks since Harris and the Democrats pulled off the coup of the century, pushed Joe Biden off the political cliff, and made Harris the presumptive Democrat candidate without earning a single vote. In that fortnight, ... Read more
