Fri, 2025-02-14 11:15 +0000
Today we began the day with a joint legislative session with the Senate to hear the Governor’s budget presentation. We learned that the Governor delivered to the House and Senate a budget that allocates more money to education and communities, contains no new tax increases, and focuses on the housing crisis and supports law enforcement. ...

Why Education On The Whole is Broken

Fri, 2025-02-14 11:00 +0000
Vindaloo Bugaboo (VB) and I join forces against the array of squishies, socialists, and environmentalists at Carbon Upfront. What we haven’t succeeded in doing is instructing them that they can mandate anything they want when it comes to how people are to live but that they will receive a lot of pushback – by politics ...

Defending Free Speech in America

Fri, 2025-02-14 03:00 +0000
President Donald Trump let fly a flurry of executive orders in his first week as president. Among those was a reaffirmation of the US Constitution’s First Amendment prohibitions against government regulation of Americans’ liberties to speak and communicate free of government censorship. Volumes of evidence now point to blatant violations of this vital constitutional restraint ... Read more

Mainstream “Journalism” Strikes Again

Fri, 2025-02-14 01:00 +0000
The gaslighting never seems to stop. But then, again, USAID money? They just can’t seem to figure out why the public’s view of them is lower than whale snot. With this shot, it shows they have little to no self-awareness that they keep making their feet look like Swiss cheese? One would normally think that ... Read more

Double Queen Sharon’s Pleasure

Thu, 2025-02-13 23:00 +0000
Remember that old 70s commercial for Wrigley’s Doublemint gum?  It would say “double your pleasure.”  Voting the wrong way on HB238 is one way to pleasure the old battle axe, and 25 Rs just voted to indefinitely postpone the Right to Work bill. Keeping in mind that Queen Sharon (Carson) is also an enemy of ... Read more

When Addiction Looks Like a Love Story: The Hidden Battles Women Face

Thu, 2025-02-13 22:14 +0000
Addiction wears many faces, but for women, it often disguises itself as something softer—something that looks less like destruction and more like devotion. It doesn’t announce itself with the reckless abandon of a binge or the obvious spiral of withdrawal. Instead, it seeps into the everyday, hiding in routines, relationships, and roles that feel impossible ... Read more

Yes, Virginia, There Is a ‘Constitutional Crisis’

Thu, 2025-02-13 21:00 +0000
On September 21st, 1897, The Sun – a New York newspaper – published an editorial by Francis Pharcellus Church. In it, he assured 8-year-old Virgina O’Hanlon that there was a Santa Claus. In 1897, Philip O’Hanlon, a surgeon, was asked by his eight-year-old daughter, Virginia O’Hanlon, whether Santa Claus existed. His answer did not convince her, and Virginia ... Read more

America’s Coming Back

Thu, 2025-02-13 19:00 +0000
There are some mornings in which thoughts and ideas come flying by with the ease and grace of a flock of geese flying south for the winter.  On this day before Lincoln’s birthday, this is the right time for printing such high flying thoughts. At this three-week point in Trump’s second term, the democrats have ... Read more

Boys in Girls Sports vs. Federal Funding … Fight!

Thu, 2025-02-13 17:00 +0000
Trump won the Presidency because of stupidity like this. 79% of adults polled agree that boys/men should not play on girls/women sports teams in K-12. But the Minnesota State High School League has told its schools that it and they must obey based on Minnesota law: “In Minnesota, participation and eligibility of transgender student-athletes is ...

How Many ‘Unelected’ Co-Presidents Did Joe Biden Have, Again?

Thu, 2025-02-13 15:00 +0000
The noise about Elon Musk is not about the separation of powers, a Constitutional Crisis, or destroying America or our Democracy. The last one angers me because these people should know we are a Republic, not a Democracy. The noise about Elon Musk ranges from he is unelected and unconfirmed to a crook, a thief, ... Read more

Everyone in DC Better “Lawyer Up”

Thu, 2025-02-13 13:00 +0000
When we watch television at my house, we watch a lot of crime and mystery programming. I call them murder shows. Some are more intense than others, darker, but Hollywood, movies, and television – the entertainment industry – always make it a priority to frame lawyering up as a bad thing. As if trying to ...

It Is Okay to Abolish the Department of Education

Thu, 2025-02-13 11:00 +0000
A Federal Government Publication Affirms That Education is “A matter reserved for the states” About ten years ago, I stopped in a library in Medfield, Massachusetts, a town about 40 miles West and South of Boston.  At its book sale, I found “Formation of the Union Under the Constitution” in 1943 which was published to ...

Making American Cars Affordable Again?

Thu, 2025-02-13 03:00 +0000
When the people who hate people take control, their policies always give them away. They make motor and heating fuel, water, food, electricity, rent, almost anything and everything more expensive – while insisting they are fighting for minorities and lower-income “families,” and the middle class – whom they hate most of all. They hate people, ... Read more

Your State House 2/7/2025

Thu, 2025-02-13 01:00 +0000
This week, my committee continued public hearings. HB 180, on critical incident stress management teams, made some minor clarifying tweaks and deleted the requirement for a qualifying test by the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation. This national group gives standards for training, but the post-training test costs $400, which is too much for many of ... Read more

USAID and Globalist Plans to Dominate Food Supplies

Wed, 2025-02-12 23:00 +0000
The totalitarian possibilities of the UN/WEF cabal of multinational “stakeholders” (who seek to own all the world’s steak) is neither the Left- nor the Right-wing, displaying more of a chimera displaying slogans common to both. Kissinger’s proposal in his 1974 Kissinger Report to control human population growth for “national security” and industrial protectionism was couched in glowing ... Read more

End Out-Of-State Students Extra Constitutional Voting Rights

Newly Minted New Hampshire State Senator Victoria Sullivan has a bill before the Senate that would prohibit student ID as proof of residency for voting purposes. SB223 had its first hearing yesterday morning, and it did not lack for naysayers, especially since the bill had a hook. This bill provides for in-state tuition at any ... Read more

When Is a Tariff Not a Tariff?

Wed, 2025-02-12 19:00 +0000
Riffing off my previous post about Trump (and us) being called a fascist over at “Lessons from the past about how to deal with American tariffs” I had ended it by admitting that I riled up the proprietor of Carbon Upfront!, Lloyd Alter over how Trump used the threat of a tariff against Canada and ...

Civilization Is The Price We Pay For Taxes

Wed, 2025-02-12 17:00 +0000
Wait, isn’t that backwards? Didn’t Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. famously say that ‘Taxes are the price we pay for civilization’? He did, but he had it backwards. Taxes are, as Tommy Shelby said of politics in general, a way of deliberately making things better for some people by deliberately making them worse for others. ... Read more
