Some of you will have clicked the headline to provide the obvious answer to the question, so let me save you some carpel tunnel—there is no need to mouse-scroll or swipe to the bottom to comment.

Thomas DiLorenzo explains why he thinks these are the three worst American Presidents, one of whom you might not have suspected. Note: Rigth Rally will ultimately be a place for podcasts and longer-form videos. Until then, it will catch whatever I throw into it.

This is terribly tragic, and I want to be clear that the headline’s brevity (if you even agree it has some) hides a deep concern for this technology. What I’m about to share is sad. A man enters an elevator carrying what appears to be a lithium-ion e-bike battery, which spontaneously combusts moments after the ... Read more

When I was counsel to the New Hampshire Department of Security, I was summoned to federal jury duty. I begged off because an NH statute precluded my position from jury service.

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

“Does Character In Public Life Still Matter,” was supposed to be one of Joe Biden’s most potent lines of his speech from the Oval Office last Wednesday, but it fell as flat as his comb-over. We will explain why, but first, some general comments on a speech derided on the Right and lauded on the ... Read more

I work seven days a week, so making time for other things often requires a bit of juggling. I know how to juggle (both time and objects), so this is not outside my wheelhouse. And when I got an invite to be part of the Tall Ships parade in Porstough Friday, I was like, YES! ... Read more

I have a plethora of thoughts about the Presidential election. There are so many topics that lead from one to another, but I’ll highlight a few.

Kamala Harris was never very gifted as a politician, public speaker, or much else, but she must be good at being ruthless and unforgiving – and perhaps networking and extortion. Otherwise, she’d be working for Gavin Newsom or some other left-coast liberal clown. As lunch would have it, she’s our clown and is desperately seeking ... Read more

My RTK journey began almost 2 years ago when the City of Nashua was appraised for new property values (Laurie Ortolano has a wealth of examples to supplement mine).
