The NH AG’s Office Should Just Ask Meta to Write A Check

Sat, 2024-12-14 13:00 +0000
The state of New Hampshire is a great place except for family court, election integrity, too much dependence on federal money, institutionalized child-sex predation, electricity prices, and jackpot justice.

Ideologically Driven Electrification Mandates Make Life Unaffordable Too

Sat, 2024-12-14 11:00 +0000
Vermont’s unaffordability crisis is most visibly driven by high taxes that come directly out of our pockets: sky-high property taxes, above-average sales taxes, fees on our electric bills, the new payroll tax, etc. A “clean heat” surcharge on fuel bills would be easy to spot. But the mandates our legislators saddle local businesses with – ... Read more

We Need More Of This to End the Sanctioned Mutilation of Children

Fri, 2024-12-13 13:00 +0000
One of the libertarian facets of my conservatarianism is that I don’t much give a damn what adults do to themselves or each other (consensually). I have reasonable doubts about some of the behaviors. I don’t think humans are equipped to manage any number of drugs were they to be made legal (or not illegal) ... Read more
