Death Penalty for Domestic Islamic Terrorists

by Norm Silber

The federal prosecutors have rightfully sought the death penalty in the Pittsburg synagogue shooting in which 11 people were killed, the deadliest attack on Jews in US history, notwithstanding statements from some rabbis from one of the more leftist denominations of Judaism. The classical statement of Jewish self-defense from the Talmud, the central text of … Read more

The Brennan Center: A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing!

by Norm Silber

It would be my guess that not many people in New Hampshire have heard or know much about the Brennan Center organization whose representatives recently appeared in Concord to lobby our legislators into adopting a bill creating a so-called unelected “independent” redistricting commission for our state. Fortunately, Governor Sununu has vetoed that bill, leaving the … Read more

Mao No guns

The left’s ultimate goal is confiscation of our guns

by Norm Silber

As might be expected after the horrible mass murders in El Paso and Dayton, the hard-left Democrats are calling for bans on high-capacity magazines and so-called assault weapons. But let’s take a look at what that really means, with a look back to the not too distant past when we actually had such bans in … Read more

The Left lies if they tell us they don’t want our guns. They want EVERY single one!

As might be expected after the horrible mass murders in El Paso and Dayton, the hard left Democrats are calling for bans on high-capacity magazines and so-called assault weapons.  But let’s take a look at what that really means.

Gilford Selectboard & administrators know not what they do: recycling overruns

by Norm Silber

Now that the Gilford tax bills for the first half of 2019 have been issued, are most Gilford taxpayers happy, or at least reasonably content, with the level of taxes in the town? I suggest that many are not and that some of the reasons for the ever-increasing taxes in Gilford can easily be ascertained … Read more

I’m from the Government and I’m here to help you!

by Norm Silber

Most of us have heard that very sad bad joke. Unfortunately, it is all too real in many aspects of our daily lives. A perfect example of this came up recently, courtesy of former President Obama, US Senator Elizabeth Warren, former US Senator Chris Dodd, and former US Representative Barney Frank- paragons of virtue all. … Read more

Whither Our Public Schools?

by Norm Silber

The Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Deuteronomy 7: “  .  .  . you shall teach them diligently to your children and speak … Read more

Democrats actively against moving Gilford’s town voting day – guess they fear the “snowbird” vote

by Norm Silber

Look who doesn’t want a big voter turnout in Gilford! Article 23 on the Gilford town ballot, and Article 8 on the School ballot, for the March 12th town & school elections, both submitted by citizen petitions, would shift the future elections from the heart of Winter to early Spring, which will afford better opportunities … Read more

Quick Thought on the recent election fraud case

by Norm Silber

Before and after serving for 2 years on the Election Law Committee of the NH House, I often heard from our friends on the left that there was no real need to attempt to tighten our flimsy election laws because there was actually no election fraud in New Hampshire.  So, I was very interested to … Read more

The Big Lie

by Norm Silber

For those too young to remember, the Big Lie is an expression for a propaganda technique coined by Adolf Hitler, when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, about the use of a lie so “colossal” that no one would believe that someone “could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously”. Well, times … Read more

The Death Penalty Does Deter!

by Norm Silber

Some of who are usually our more conservative/libertarian state house and senate members are once again trying to repeal New Hampshire’s very limited death penalty statute.   If they succeed again this time, the Governor should once again veto the repealing legislation. RSA 630:1 sets out the only circumstances that constitute “capital murder” that can be punished … Read more

Whither the Boy Scouts of America?

by Norm Silber

A major goal of the left and its fellow-travelling PC Police seems to be the demolition of most of the traditional pillars of American culture and family values.  The changes in the Boy Scouts of America, which used to be thought of as being like motherhood and apple pie, can serve as an excellent example … Read more

Great Orators of the Democratic Party – from the past compared to the present

by Norm Silber

These all might be funny if they weren’t so pathetic.  And these are our leaders????? Orators of the Democrat Party –from the past: “One man with courage makes a majority.”   ~Andrew Jackson “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”   ~Franklin D. Roosevelt “The buck stops here.”   ~Harry S. Truman … Read more

Religious Bigotry

Religious discrimination in NH

by Norm Silber

Anyone who thinks that anti-Catholic bias is only alive and well among the Democrats in the US Congress questioning prospective Supreme Court nominees needs to think again and look no further than our own beloved state of New Hampshire, which was originally settled in large part by French-Canadian Catholics migrating Southward. After the great Irish … Read more

Not Religious Oppression or Cultural Appropriation but Cultural Appreciation

by Norm Silber

I am a Jew.  Born and raised as a Jew.  I know who I am and what I am and what I believe. Growing up in the South (to the extent one might actually think some parts of Florida are in the South), I went through the public schools and in those days, before the … Read more

NH GOP – Open Primaries should be done away with

by Norm Silber

I was included on an email thread that had a number of people on it and one of the issues is that of Open Primaries in NH. Here’s the initial email: <redacted> wrote (to a number of people) including Steve Stepanek who has announced that he is running to fill the soon to be empty … Read more

A Flake by Any Other Name is Still a Flake

by Norm Silber

The US District Court for the Southern District of Florida is one of the busier federal trial courts in the country, and it is not unusual for civil cases filed in that Court to take over a year to come to trial because of the limited judicial resources and the necessity of giving priority to criminal cases under the Speedy Trial Rule so that criminal defendants get simply to walk away from their charges because of trial delays.

I am a long time member of the Bar of that Court and have handled some cases in that Court, which seems to be always chronically undermanned (or under-woman-ed as the case may be).

There is a disgraceful situation with respect to an appointment of a Judge to that Court that has been going on too long,

SCOTUS: now and in the future – a presentation

by Norm Silber

After the disgraceful sideshow of the confirmation hearings for now US Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, it is never too late to take a dive into the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) as it exists today and perhaps as it may evolve in the future, whether with upcoming case decisions and/or with possible appointments to the Court in the next two years.
