Big Brother is Alive & Well at the Census Bureau

Most everyone has heard the expression “I’m from the Government and I’m here to help you.” And when we hear or think of that saying, it is usually tongue-in-cheek because most of us know how much “help” the government purports to provide to us. Under the US Constitution, the federal government is required to conduct … Read more

Taking Back the GOP

This writer has for many years decried the “tolerance” and inclusiveness of RINOs in the Republican Party, not only in our own state but in other states and nationally. Their presence in the party dilutes the GOP brand, makes it much less meaningful and is damaging to other true Republican candidates.

Trump vs. Biden- A Choice, Not a Hollow Echo

You may remember Patty Hearst, the heiress who was kidnapped by a radical left terror organization known as the Symbionese Liberation Army back in 1974.

The major gem of the Lakes Region of New Hampshire is our famous Lake Winnipesaukee. Its 72 square miles of water are dotted with 274 islands, some larger than others, and many with “camps” or homes on them. To call some of these edifices “camps” might be a major understatement.

Some Steps to Reduce Voter Fraud

If we really want to have the voter registration laws in New Hampshire mean something as far as ballot integrity, this writer humbly suggests the following steps as solutions:  Eliminate same-day registration. Cause the voter checklists to be “closed” a reasonable time before each election, say 30 days or 60 days, after which if you … Read more

College Student Voting- a new decision

The voter registration laws in New Hampshire are, and have been, at best, illogical, and contradictory at worst. Putting aside for the moment the idiocy of having same-day registration and “open” primaries in which voters not registered to a particular political party can obtain a ballot and vote in a primary of whatever political party … Read more

Preserving our Constitutional Republic

The latest revelations of the Susan Rice memo to herself in the early stages of the attempted coup against the Trump administration before the President even took office has brought to mind the critical importance of the necessity of not only re-electing the President but also maintaining, and perhaps increasing, control of the US Senate. … Read more

Bloody Kansas Redux

The State of Kansas has an election law requiring documentary proof of citizenship (“DPOC”) for voter registration. Why is this issue important to us in New Hampshire?

A Personal Endorsement- No More Futile Gestures!

Remember the concept of noble but futile gestures, as embodied by the walkout scene in Animal House?

I … Read more

Fame does not equal intelligence

In these troubled times, it is useful to examine, once again, the nature of actors (male or otherwise) who undertake to comment and expound on government, politics, elected officials, and our civic life generally. Those actors who seem to get the most attention and platforms (soapboxes) from the media these days are usually those who … Read more
