While there is likely an endless supply of embarrassing COVID-related content on the average Liberal’s Social Feed (and please, by all means, grab that while you can), this latest revelation is a far more perfect example of how the Left’s trust in the government makes them untrustworthy.

Bill Limiting Power of Local Public Health Officials Heads to Governor’s Desk
Last week, a bill that would limit the power of local public health officials to impose mask mandates lost by one vote – one Republican vote. The legislation was tabled, often a death knell, but that one lousy vote meant Merrimack (Town, not County) Rep. Bill Boyd could ask for a vote to pull it off the table.
And Then There Were Three Pasty White Dems Running to Replace Pasty White Ann Kuster
New Hampshire Dems like to talk about diversity and equity and POC or even BIPOC, minorities “being seen,” Critical Race Theory, and even white supremacy, so you’d be right to wonder why this doesn’t translate to candidates for federal offices.
NH House Republican Attendance for 5/9/2024
Attendance was better this week than last for Republicans, by which I mean more Demcorats were absent. And a few folks we don’t typically see missed votes. They likely had other obligations that could not be avoided. That happens with a citizen legislature. And then there were O’Hara and Trottier.
NH Marriage Meddling and How Democrats Profit from Minors’ Who are Ripe and Fertile …
A long time ago, right here in New Hampshire, a gay marriage bill failed in a Democrat majority legislature. They strongarmed a reconsideration vote and passed it, despite a prevailing narrative that civil unions were enough. Gov John Lynch signed it, meddling in marriage.
Now It’s Denver Asking Citizens to Volunteer to House Illegal Immigrants
Denver, Colorado, is 1,782 miles from where I sit, so why would I care what they do? That’s a fair question, so here’s my answer. It is the same explanation for most of the out-of-state content. What Democrats are doing there is what Democrats here will do or want. There’s no diversity of thought or deed.
HB1002 and Transparency: If You Want Less of Something, Tax It!
In keeping with my taxing things theme, this might be a good time to remind everyone, especially Republicans in the NH Legislature, that those among them who supported HB1002 (The public documents tax) can no longer argue for government transparency or accountability. They voted that right away.
The Comment of the Week Winner Is …
Some of you voted, and we’ve got another comment of the week winner!
Massachusetts Proposes a New Tax to Fund ‘Affordable’ Housing
This might be a great Town Hall forum question for Democratic candidates. “Is there any problem you can’t fix with a new or higher tax?” I want a list, please, but I sense it would look like that redacted FDA document—a bunch of blank pages. While true, Dems do believe this; they don’t want to admit it publicly.
Gen. John Stark Would Want You to Run for NH State Rep!
Those of us who have committed ourselves to living in the sausage factory of politics are keenly aware of the dynamics, so we know we need good people in elected office we can support. We need them now.
Putting Recent Sea Level Rise Acceleration ‘Panic’ Into Perspective
Last Week, the coordinated media made noise about accelerated sea level rise. That’s nothing new. They do it all the time, though, not as often as the hottest thing ever. Both lack evidence and rigor, neither of which are required to snap coastal elites like a twig.
Breaking: Justice Marconi Recuses Herself in Daniel Richard v. Gov Sununu et al.
This is interesting news. A New Hampshire State Supreme Court Justice has disqualified themself from deciding matters regarding Daniel Richard v. Gov. Chris Sununu.
Reminder: Vote for Comment of the Week
We are still accepting votes for comment of the week until 8 pm ET tonight. Please take a moment to review the “comments” from last week and vote for a winner.
Col. Douglas Macgregor On Military Recruitment, Revolution, Rule of Law, Forever Wars, Woke Garbage …
From the “I finally got to it” pile, Colonel Douglas Macgregor gave an hour of his time to chat with Russell Brand last week. As with most of Brand’s content, it was a great conversation. One portion in particular stood out to me as something we could dig into.
The New York Times Almost Breaks 7th Seal on Vaccine Injuries…
When the New York Times publishes something, it is a sign to the coastal elites that it is okay to discuss it. Here are some guidelines, what you are to believe and disbelieve, none of which should be mistaken for reporting. These are instructions. They expand the narrative bubble to control the messaging.
The ‘Dome’ Winooski Built
It’s weird what you remember. I distinctly remember being at my friend Phil’s house in the late 70s (early 80s?) and seeing a copy of Yankee Magazine. The featured article was about a proposal to put a dome over Winooski, Vermont.
A Letter From Campus – Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah. I have Joined Camp, Intifada …
Fans of Dr. Demento will already be familiar with the tune and the original, but it’s not a problem if you’ve never heard it. It is a humorous 1963 ‘novelty’ song by Alan Sherman about a kid sent to the fictional Camp Grenada.
Help Us Choose Another ‘Comment of the Week’ Winner!
Another week and hundreds more comments. We pick one from each day of the previous week, and you get to vote on who wins the honor. All we ask is that you read them and vote.
Want to Stop Offshore Wind Maine and New Hampshire?
Despite the collapse of the market, rising costs and prices, and the threat to wildlife, the powers that be are moving forward with offshore wind development off the coast of New Hampshire and Maine.
Wake Up and Laugh: “You Know What Happened With Dumb Kids? They Didn’t Make It!”
It seemed like a good time to laugh, and I stumbled across a few minutes from Comedian Brad Upton, who always makes me laugh. I thought of you. You could probably use a laugh, too.
