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. During her confinement, Ms. Hearst somehow became a victim of “Stockholm Syndrome” and began sympathizing with her captors. So I am wondering if Joe Biden is visiting Stockholm as well. … Read more
The No. 1 Reason to Re-Elect President Trump & Preserve Control of the Senate

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.

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
Lawyers’ Professional Standards Group Promotes Gun Control Over Protecting Rights
How many lawyers does it take to… stop me if you have heard that joke before? Sadly, what the American Bar Association (ABA) has done recently is no laughing matter. Apparently, currying political favor is more important to the ABA than fulfilling its core mission.
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
The Citizens United decision, the First Amendment, and a short treatise on corporations

A Personal Endorsement- No More Futile Gestures!
Remember the concept of noble but futile gestures, as embodied by the walkout scene in Animal House? As we approach the election season, the question in the primary for the Republican nominee for US Senate comes down to whether we want to make noble but futile gestures or do we actually want to win. 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
Who Wants A Tax Cap?
If we rely on our elected or appointed officials (aka, the “elites”) to restrain spending of tax dollars on their own volition, we are kidding ourselves.
America’s Own Bogeyman-in-Chief
Although a bogeyman is often thought of as a mythical creature used by adults to frighten children into good behavior, it is sometimes used as a non-specific personification for terror, and in some cases, the Devil. So, let’s look at the following information complied by Judicial Watch (www.judicialwatch.org), and largely confirmed by other outlets such … Read more
