The elected elite think they are so smart. The people who elect them think they are smart for doing that. Often, the otherwise disinterested political middle thinks it’s smart to elect them as well. The result is dumb people in office doing things to you they think are smart but are not. A Colorado woman … Read more
In an August 5th missive to parents of students at John Stark High School, Principal Gary Dempsey outlined some curriculum changes. Sadly, most Engineering courses have been canceled. These include Welding, Small Engines, and all Physics courses. A local source tells me that the teacher quit for better pay in another district, and that Administration … Read more
It’s amazing the things you don’t know, not that I needed to or care, but there have been weekly protests around the Monadnock region in opposition to ICE enforcing federal law, and no one seems to have asked them about “no one being above the law”? That’s NH Media for you. The Left hands you … Read more
As promised, an interview with NH US Senate Candidate Scott Brown, asking questions submitted by readers. Check out the questions and the answers as we race toward the New Hampshire Primary in early September. Some pauses were removed between answers and the next question (in post-production), but no questions or answers were edited. You will … Read more
Stop what you are doing and contact your legislators today. Why? Farm and food freedom, that’s why. HB396 is a simple, common-sense bill the governor vetoed, and we have an excellent chance of overturning it. You’ll remember that Governor Ayotte vetoed HB396, the Food Freedom Act, which would let NH farmers sell meat they slaughter and … Read more

Depending on which AI you believe, fewer than 7 voters out of every 100 actually need to use vote by mail or an absentee ballot. Truly and absolutely need it and are, in fact, eligible to vote in the first place. As few as 1% to as many as 7%. Enough to move the election … Read more
If you removed the data from just the ten largest Democrat Run cities, America would look like a cultural utopia. Free speech, right to self-defense, low crime and poverty, higher standards of living but lower cost of living, significantly higher health outcomes, and better educated children. Keep in mind, America’s baseline is the same from … Read more
You won’t get much argument from anyone, including the proglodytes, about California’s progressive credentials. Blue states want to be California when they grow up, and Democrats in every state want to emulate it. The economic and social downward spiral associated with left-wing priorities only seems to catalyze their desire to duplicate it where they live. … Read more
It is entirely true that Flock Cameras are collecting all sorts of information about you and that, whether private or public, they create a database that could be used against you. You’ve heard stories, not all of which will be true. But the tech exists to do all the worst things you could imagine anyone … Read more
A group in Maine called Progressive Victory, very likely a DSA front group, tried to warn Maine Democrats about Troy Jackson. Platner was out, and Jackson was the popular fake working-man replacement. But the so-called lumberjack had a history he’d have to pretend didn’t exist. You know, the old, you’re misrepresenting, misunderstanding, that didn’t happen … Read more
For decades, we had to put up with Democrats insisting that people could claim New Hampshire as their residence for voting purposes. And not just them Dems. Lawyers, Judges, College Administrators, activists, Republicans. You could live in New Hampshire for voting purposes, but you didn’t need to live here for any other purpose. Vote for … Read more

If you wanted to know what I thought about assisted Suicide, medically assisted dying (MAiD), or any aspect of government-managed consent to death, it’s easy. I don’t care how compassionate you think you are; it is not the sort of authority you want them to have. Curious contradictions abound as well. Most of the people … Read more
Did you hear the one about Donald Trump’s secret flight out of Turkey? You probably did. He “switched” planes after evidence of a threat. Air Force One still flew, but without President Trump on it. But that’s not the story. The media is bent (in so many ways) because no one told them. I guess, … Read more
King Donald just passed down another Fatwa. This one is on the completely uncontroversial topic of vaccines and the childhood schedule. As you would expect, it has inspired the right and ignited the left, but what exactly is it? First, a disclaimer: “This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the … Read more

There have been more than a few “research papers” out there whose purpose was to give the media fuel for the narrative that paints “Conservatives” with all the attributes of Progressives. These are the same kinds of credentialed half-wits who convinced the world that National Socialism was a right-wing project because it was a step … Read more
Good luck getting anyone in “New Hampshire Media” or any other variety to ask Granite State Dems about James Talarico’s latest embarrassment. I know; they should be asking about Mamdani. El-Sayyad, Piker, Spanberger, Newsom, and so on, but Talarico just happens to have the same Beta-Male look as Chris Pappas. It’s like they bred them … Read more
Burlington, Vermont, has a two-party system. Far-left Democrats and further-left progressives. That’s no joke. They run against each other for Mayor and elected city offices. Voters answer the question, which wingnut best represents the speed of decline that appeals to me. Hardly. The burning question is who can convince enough voters that the end of … Read more
