Proglodyte whiners are on their high-energy price horse yet again as the world watches Iran, the United States, and the Strait of Hormuz. But Democrats love high energy prices. They must necessarily skyrocket under any of their plans. As high as they may be where you are, they are much higher in Blue States and … Read more
The Campus Carry bill would remove an unconstitutional exemption we shouldn’t even need that has allowed Colleges in the state that take tax money to create and enforce gun-free zones. HB1793, the Protecting College Students Act, ends special gun-free zones on public college campuses and extends New Hampshire’s constitutional carry law to every corner of … Read more

Barry Soetero, also known as Barry Obama or Barack Obama, is part-Kenyan. “Barry Soetoro” was the childhood name used by Barack Obama between roughly 1967 and 1971 while living in Jakarta, Indonesia, with his mother, Ann Dunham, and his Indonesian stepfather, Lolo Soetoro. Barack Obama is also named after his biological father, while his grandfather was … Read more
The evolution of Karens into AWFLs seems like sound demographic science. Women who probably bought into at least one or more waves of feminism and have been jilted at the secular humanist altar. Absent children either altogether or anymore (because they’ve grown up and moved out), the forever single and divorced need something to care … Read more
The Human diet precedes woke experts and opportunists by millions of years, and while there were several variations of humans before the one we know won the “evolution” game, we all ate meat. Our ancestors survived significant and recurring geologic catastrophes. The sorts of things that would wipe out the vegan faction and most of … Read more
Here are some helpful lessons or reminders sent by one of our readers on how to engage law enforcement after a self-defense incident. Someone attacked you or your family, or a life was in danger. You drew your weapon, perhaps fired it. It seemed like the right thing to do at that moment, but no … Read more
The Hive Mind is having a rough couple of years. Trump is dismantling their government laundromat. He started with USAID, but the hammer has come down all across the Executive branch. DOGE is still the disease that keeps the fraudsters awake at night. Fewer headlines, but plenty of internal action. ACT Blue is getting legal … Read more
Ilhan Omar is no stranger to controversy. Like many a Squad member, she invites it. It amps her Q rating with cat-litter-lugging divorced liberal wine moms. Karens, AWFLs, they love that stuff. It makes someone committed to creating an American Despotism, possibly even a Theocratic one, look like she’s a rebel fighting the system. The … Read more

The WFEA Morning Update with Jeff Chidester is where Granite Staters get their news and opinion in the morning, and I have the honor and privilege of being a guest once a month. We recently moved it to the 4th Wednesday of the month. I used to be on the first Wednesday, but I get … Read more
My arrival in the Granite State predates the Free State Project, but from time to time, I’ve been included as an accomplice. Ideologically, it makes sense. We agree on most things, and the details come down to how much or how little government. As a keeper of the flame of our founding principles, I am … Read more
My dad used to commandeer the television to watch 60 Minutes back in the day. I’m talking late sixties, early seventies, when the thing was just getting started. I was just a kid, but I watched it too. Hailed as hardcore investigative journalism, it demonstrated that networks could make money on news as entertainment. The … Read more

Small Colleges closing might seem like a problem when large colleges probably need to close, but maybe some will. Last week, I spent a few minutes on an episode of the morning update about a rural Vermont College shuttering its operation. Declining student enrollment was clearly a result of a shift toward trade schools and … Read more
I am responsible for a flurry of recent content on wealth taxes. Rich Democrats like to play class warfare games, using emotion, envy, not of them, but of the other rich people. It’s an easy move, though not typically as effective in America, but it has found more traction on the left thanks to years … Read more

We’ve shared stories about cities, states, and nations forced to pay so-called renewable providers for this or that. Taxpayers paid subsidies to get them built, and subsidized them to make the price appear reasonable. Taxpayers pay extra in taxes, licensing, fees, fines, and the rest to feed that beast, on top of the price they … Read more
I’m not sure what the East-Kingston and Kenisington School Boards want to keep hidden so badly, but they are spending a lot of tax dollars on legal fees to keep it that way. Taxpayers proposed a warrant article to create a non-taxpayer-funded committee to explore ways to save taxpayers’ money. The school budget is out … Read more
In a recent installment of the Morning Update, the subject was conversion therapy and the transgender agenda. I identified the issue as finding a path to align the mind with the body and the mind with the real world. That’s what you would do if your agenda were wellness and happiness, because it is incredibly … Read more
