BELCHER: An Open Letter to the NH House GOP on a Bad Vote 

1 hour 44 min ago

Yes, I heard the cries of a number of you behind me begging me not to do it. Yes, I saw a goodly number of you stand up to walk out of the room to avoid the vote. I even stood for the request to register the vote via a roll call. It was, in ... Read more

4 hours 44 min ago

How Unchecked Diversity and Assimilation Failures Fuel Antisemitism and Violence From Bondi Beach to Washington, D.C., the failure to demand shared values and loyalty has left Western societies vulnerable to both Islamist extremism and homegrown antisemitism.

RHODES: The Administrative State’s Hidden Architecture (Part 2)

8 hours 44 min ago

Education, EFAs, and Administrative Inheritance Entering Charles Merriam’s Marble Cake Factory Education policy in the United States is often framed as a simple contest between federal authority and state authority, as though the two operate in separate spheres. In practice, modern education governance functions through an administrative ecosystem shaped by federal statutes, federal agency rulemaking, ... Read more

Morning Update: What the Fork!

11 hours 44 min ago

Today on the Morning Update, it is expected that people will eat with utensils, some sort of racist, white colonialistic cultural pressure campaign. Some libs (prolly white women) think so, let’s take a look.

CARDELLO: Al Green’s Obsession Has Cost Him Dearly

13 hours 44 min ago

There are no redeeming qualities to Representative Al Green (D-TX). He is a disrespectful and rude individual who suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome and whose sole purpose in Congress is to file impeachment papers on Donald Trump. Green just filed his seventh attempt at removing Trump from the White House. Like the previous six, he ... Read more

IMANI: Fire Pam Bondi

20 hours 44 min ago

President Trump should be done playing games with the spineless relics infesting his administration. Reports are that he’s fed up with Attorney General Pam Bondi’s pathetic inaction, her failure to unleash hell on the Deep State criminals and Democrat scum who tried to destroy him. It’s time for a brutal New Year’s shake-up: axe Bondi ... Read more

MACDONALD: Dems Just Wanna Get Sued

Tue, 2025-12-16 22:00 +0000

I’m sorry, but I can’t help myself. Democrats dropped a photo of Trump with a bunch of adult women, blocked out their faces, then accused him of getting “caught” in an Epstein photo dump with underage girls. You’ll probably know the details by now—adult women. No Epstein. And Mr. Trump was reported to be a ... Read more

HOHENSEE: Stolen Rights – Electing and Funding Public Teachers 

Tue, 2025-12-16 19:00 +0000

In 1968, our state constitution was radically amended. Voters were not fully informed of the consequences of the proposed changes. The voters’ guide said the amendment would “remove obsolete sectarian references.” There were exactly four sectarian terms (evangelical, Deity, protestant, and Christians), yet 140 words were removed from Art. 6 P.1 of the NH Constitution ...

IMANI: Eternal Jihad is Islam’s Bloodthirsty Crusade

Tue, 2025-12-16 15:00 +0000

The savage massacres at Bondi Beach in Sydney and the brutal shootout in Stockton, California, are just the latest bloody chapters in Islam’s unrelenting war to wipe the Jews off the map. These aren’t random acts of madness – they’re straight out of the Islamic playbook, where hatred for the Jews burns hotter than hellfire. ... Read more

UNDERWOOD: Hope Damon-Sneaky or Stupid?

Tue, 2025-12-16 10:00 +0000

Whenever I see legislation sponsored by Rep. Hope Damon, I wonder if she’s trying to be sneaky or if she’s just stupid. For example, not too long ago, Damon was prime sponsor on a bill to require homeschooled students to take standardized tests. The bill was so badly drafted, it provoked 500 independent home education ... Read more

IMANI: How Uber’s Gig Model Lets Drivers Discriminate and Harass With Impunity

Tue, 2025-12-16 03:00 +0000

The expulsion of Jewish model Miriam Mattova from a Toronto Uber – not for her fare, but for her faith – is more than an act of raw antisemitism. It is a siren blaring at the heart of the modern Gig Economy. The driver’s alleged declaration, “I don’t drive Jews,” is a moral crisis that is being systematically laundered ... Read more

This week on GrokTALK!, it’s more on the affordability narrative and one of the best examples, from sea to “rising” sea, why a Democrat (any Democrat) can only make our lives more unaffordable. “Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.” – Gustav Mahler Speakers’ opinions are their own and may not ...

Mon, 2025-12-15 23:28 +0000

Every year, thousands of people travel across the country to enter addiction treatment in California. They leave behind their homes, families, and familiar surroundings to recover in a state they may have never visited. This pattern has held steady for decades, even as quality treatment options have expanded nationwide. What makes California so dominant in ... Read more

MACDONALD: Not Even Trying To Get It Right

Mon, 2025-12-15 22:00 +0000

One of the Handmaiden Media’s superpowers is its relentless adherence to the narrative. Take Electric Vehicles, for Example. Emma Taggert is reputed to be an economics reporter with The Telegraph, which could mean a lot of things, including that she doesn’t actually know anything about Economics. Not really. Sure, she knows the bronzed white-tower university-approved ... Read more

TYSON: Fighting Parental Rights Via Local Control

Mon, 2025-12-15 19:00 +0000

There is a particular kind of political jiu-jitsu that shows up every session in Concord: take a word conservatives like, twist it 15 degrees, and use it to do something conservatives should hate. HB1512 is that move. The bill would let a town hold a referendum to decide whether families in that town may access ... Read more
