The Left Loves 'Land Acknowledgements': Here's One That Honors Our Forefathers and Actually Tells...

The Western Journal — An alternative land acknowledgement: "The land on which we are situated was once occupied and developed by patriots, who tamed raw wilderness, established a system of non-feudal private ownership, and freed themselves from colonialism. Upon their arrival from a far-away corrupt continent, these people received valuable assistance and knowledge from existing indigenous peoples"

When Liberals Started Defending 'Female Circumcision,' I Knew the Country Had Crossed a Line

The Western Journal — With the shift in the Overton Window, Democrats who favor "Medicare for all," court packing, "abolish ICE" and even boys in girls' sports qualify as "moderates" simply because they have not topped it off by proposing eliminating the U.S. Senate.

The Psychology Behind Republicans Who Support Amnesty for Illegals

The Psychology Behind Republicans Who Support Amnesty for Illegals

The Western Journal — Amnesty Republicans typically suffer from two dark malign personality traits: an unsavory need for approval from elites and a desire for intimacy with the Chamber of Commerce. What else could explain forsaking a loving long-term relationship with the GOP base in favor of a Tinder date with the owner of a meat packing plant?

Enough Feting of Fetterman

Enough Feting of Fetterman

The Western Journal — When sentient, Fetterman has proven irascible and impulsive, and when not sentient, he has proven … insentient. He should not be as welcome in the Republican cloakroom as he is in the Fox News green room. His voting record says it all. Leopards do not change their stripes, or change out of their hoodies. Enough feting of Fetterman.

MACK: New Hampshire's Income Tax Kabuki Theater - NH Journal

MACK: New Hampshire's Income Tax Kabuki Theater - NH Journal

NH Journal — Kabuki theater is actually even older than the New Hampshire income tax debate. It dates to the early 1600s, while it was not until 1735, when the British Parliament repealed the New Hampshire Provincial Assembly’s law making witchcraft a capital offense, that the way was cleared for the income tax to become the foremost issue in New Hampshire’s political consciousness.

Maybe the Democrats' Electoral College dream isn't so bad

Maybe the Democrats' Electoral College dream isn't so bad

American Thinker — An entire worldview and system of emotional industry has developed around the notion that the E.C. will continue to be more favorable to the GOP than popular vote results. In fact, history demonstrates that the relationship between the E.C. and the national popular vote is fluid and too difficult to predict.

Opinion: A stink bomb to the income tax - Concord Monitor

Concord Monitor — In the TV gothic soap “Dark Shadows,” an old New England family is plagued by the periodic returns of an unholy cousin from past generations, the undead Barnabas Collins. Recently, former Executive Councilor Andru Volinsky sought to add an episode to New Hampshire’s enduring income tax gothic soap opera by raiding a crypt in the dead of night and bringing back Barnabas in the form of another proposal to institute such a tax.

Cancel culture: Snow days canceling school are out of control

Cancel culture: Snow days canceling school are out of control

American Thinker — As we saw in the COVID era, what starts with calling school at four rather than eight inches of snow ends with mask mandates, prohibition of public gatherings, and smug determinations by elites as to what “science” dictates. So be careful. Before you buy in to a snow day, make sure you are not getting a snow job.

Will the blue state exodus really hurt the left?

Will the blue state exodus really hurt the left?

American Thinker — It is like every other tantalizing boomlet of the past, from Reagan to Trump to the Soviet collapse to the Contract with America, and especially to that most bittersweet, heady day of seeming portent, when a star appeared in the East, and a savior with tuna fish in his beard, Robert Bork, was nominated. Just when you thought you were going to kick that football, they are still always going to pull it away from you.

Spare me a new 'conversation' on amnesty for illegals

Spare me a new 'conversation' on amnesty for illegals

American Thinker — So that is what it comes down to. My most august Mr. Newt will not learn from the great mistake of 1986. He will embrace the Republicanism of former high school wrestling coaches. He will lead a conversation on amnesty.

What anti-ICE activism looks like in New Hampshire

What anti-ICE activism looks like in New Hampshire

American Thinker — Here in New Hampshire, the activism seems left to some Pete Seeger–inspired relics whose most subversive membership is in the Episcopal Church. They struggle to keep their banjos in tune. The Wobblies are not their union, but what they suffer from when they get out of bed. Their machines that fight fascists are not guitars, but walking sticks, waved forcefully at federal authorities.

Jonathan F. Mack: 'Affordability' fixes trade one set of aggrieved for another

New Hampshire Union Leader — Different segments of the populace have diametrically opposing interests with respect to the price of housing, and those prices are uniquely resistant to political fixes. Fraught with conflicts between competing groups and resistant to control, housing prices will ultimately be the demise of politicians who stake their candidacies on them.

Jonathan F. Mack: Ayotte now inoculated against abortion, corporate claims

Jonathan F. Mack: Ayotte now inoculated against abortion, corporate claims

New Hampshire Union Leader — Kelly Ayotte’s decisive victory in the gubernatorial race appears to presage such a clear path for future electoral success that it brings to mind the words of the Baroness Margaret Thatcher, who after a resounding triumph in 1987 cooly intoned “And on and on.” But the more measured words of an earlier British Prime Minister provide good counsel to her. When asked what his greatest challenge as an office holder was, Harold MacMillan replied “events, dear boy, events.” Presently, it looks like “and on and on” for Ayotte, but, ultimately, her future will be determined by “events, dear girl, events.”
