According to the CDC, NH Vaccinated More People Than There Are People

Sat, 2025-01-25 21:00 +0000
There are a lot of problems with the various reporting mechanisms related (in particular) to COVID. They lied about positive tests, cases, test efficacy, threats, cures, and safety (to name a few), but a new FUBAR has entered the equation. From Steve Kirsh.

A Case Study In How Not to Govern After eighteen months of attempting to build a governing structure for the Clean Heat Standard, the Public Utilities Commission concluded, “…that this program is not well suited to Vermont.” It’s expensive, complicated, and, as they illustrate over a dozen pages in section X of their report, Problems with ...

The Biden Reality Put Into Perspective

Sat, 2025-01-25 15:00 +0000
In the worst cover-up and conspiracy since Watergate, it was obvious to every American that Joe Biden was mentally incapable of being president. Still, we heard his staff and media defending and proclaiming him to be at the top of his game. For four years, his staff and media colluded to hide the fact that ... Read more

Hegseth Confirmed!

Sat, 2025-01-25 13:00 +0000
Whether you like him for the job or not, the Democrats and the worst sort of Republicans (admit it) didn’t like him or want him. That means a lot. These are typically the sort of politicians who like to spend money on the military the way it does education, as a laundromat to third parties, ... Read more

EFAs Simply Continue the Failed Pay-And-Pray Paradigm

Sat, 2025-01-25 11:00 +0000
One of the many problems with EFAs is that they simply continue the Pay-and-Pray paradigm that is at the root of our failing school system.  Let’s ask a straightforward question: Under what conditions should we spend tax money on something for which we have no specific, agreed-upon goals (and therefore no way to judge whether ...

The Constitution is silent on “preemptive pardons”

Sat, 2025-01-25 01:00 +0000
The Constitution of the United States, Article 2 Section 2, states “The President…shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States.” Let’s analyze this for a moment. In this case, an “Offense” is either a misdemeanor or a felony that has a basis in federal law. A presidential pardon can ... Read more

The “Bishop” Needs To Hit The Confessional

Fri, 2025-01-24 23:00 +0000
I am unsure what I find most offensive about the National Prayer Service last Tuesday morning. The WOKE message delivered was inappropriate. The DEI Bishop who delivered the sermon was offensive, and the President, Vice President, and their families had to sit and bear it because the cameras were rolling. Trump and Vance had too ...

Liberation Day – An Invocation (And What a Prayer It Was!)

Fri, 2025-01-24 21:00 +0000
Does anyone ever stop to think that an invocation before a meeting or proceedings could be considered in a highlight reel of said meeting? Trump continues to surprise many while bewildering his critics and enemies. Trump’s Inauguration in the Capital Rotunda became a “be wonderment” moment. There were the expected prayers from the various faiths, ... Read more

Fri, 2025-01-24 19:00 +0000
Let’s ask a straightforward question: Why should we spend tax money on education?  The New Hampshire Constitution gives one possible answer:  Education is essential to the preservation of a free government.

Friday Meme Thing

Fri, 2025-01-24 17:00 +0000
I’d more or less decided that there was not enough time for me to do these and was content to let them lie until Nitzakhon’s return, but a few readers had other ideas. They felt like all of our readers could use a quick fix. A “stop the withdrawal symptoms” meme post for the masses—even ... Read more

Under The Weather

Fri, 2025-01-24 14:00 +0000
Yes, my output has been stymied—from writing to sharing regularly to social media updates. I am wrestling with a barrage of cold symptoms I had somehow managed to avoid for over three months. Since November, someone in my house has had a cold or flu-like something. Fevers, coughs, sniffling, sneezing. It’s been relentless. They’d get ... Read more

What Did We Learn From The Universal School Choice Hearing

Fri, 2025-01-24 13:00 +0000
What did we learn from the Universal School Choice HB115 hearing? More importantly, WHY do I, as a Veteran Home Educator and Home Education Advocate in NH, care so much? Well, folks, I’ll tell you. The politics of this thing are ugly. Education Freedom Accounts and “School Choice” are ideas that Republicans nationwide invented in ... Read more

“Dense Pack” Is Back – Trump Overwhelms Media From Day One

Fri, 2025-01-24 11:00 +0000
Hot Air: “Kamala Harris is for they/them,” the ads concluded, and “Donald Trump is for you.” I have written about this political environment before, starting when Obama first took office (paraphrased): What the heck is going on? When we started the ‘Grok, there were usually about 4, or 5 (maybe 5 or 6) major things to ... Read more

Too Rare An Opportunity To Be Squandered

Fri, 2025-01-24 03:00 +0000
The opportunity facing the Republicans is a once in a generation moment similar to the Reagan Presidency. Reagan and Trump were each succeeding two of the worst presidents ever to reside in the White House, with a resounding mandate from the voters. The Left will debate the presence of a mandate because of the relatively ... Read more

Oversentencing, Right to Know, and the Po-Po

Fri, 2025-01-24 01:00 +0000
It’s not often that a nigh-impossible hurdle is overcome… but here we are! President Trump issued a full and unconditional pardon to Ross Ulbricht, thereby keeping his campaign promise made to Libertarians. Righting the wrong of Ross Ulbricht’s over-sentencing is the start of the Rise of Real Crypto, but we must now focus on the ... Read more
