I have found that NH’s RSA 91-A, NH’s Right to Know Law (similar to the Federal FOIA – Freedom of Information Act) to be a citizen’s best tool for carrying out our responsibilities in keeping our Government both in check and accountable. Our State Constitution makes this clear:

More “nonsensical, unintelligible gibberish” in Describing a College Course Description and Academia in General

This from Kenyon College that can cost up to $80,000/year. The PJ Media author, George Harbison, is beside himself putting up the description from his alma mater. Good thing that my SAT score made me immune to having to take a college English class but I certainly can’t make much heads or tails of this: … Read more

November 30, 2022 Skip

Actually, several of them. And of course, being Elon Musk, it has to be in the form of tweets. Sidenote – He’s a brilliant guy – Telsa, SpaceX, Boring Machine, StarLink, and now Twitter.

Doug Lambert stars in the Political High Wire Act Dumpster Fire FI

NH GOP Delegate and Gunstock Area Commissioner Douglas Lambert Arrested and Charged with Simple Assault

November 28, 2022 Skip

Once again, Douglas Lambert has fallen off the Political High Wire Act that has always been his downfall. His hubris has caused him to believe, again (like the Ray Buckley incident) that he was politically invulnerable and impervious to any reaction.

I spent yesterday morning through mid-afternoon at the NH Division of Archives and Records Management for the recount for Gargiulo and Altschiller.
