It’s been two years (August, 2023) since the local ABC affiliate published anything related to Long COVID. The state’s largest newspaper, the Union Leader, published a piece on January 9th (but little else of value) based on a study from the NH Fiscal Policy Institute (also a suspect source). Besides that, it is not a … Read more
HHS Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr has asked the Food and Drug Administration to rethink a past practice that allowed food companies to tell the FDA if they thought some chemical was safe for humans.

We’re approaching eight weeks under the new Trump administration, and it is still nearly impossible to cover all the movement on any given day. This administration came out of the gate like a greyhound and continues to whip up a whirlwind of change on a daily basis. That’s 56 calendar days for victims of the … Read more

Yesterday, I wrote a pithy post on Substack about why Chuck Schumer had to cry uncle on the Republicans’ continuing resolution. He caved ‘cuz money. No, not money in the CR. Spending is spending to Dems, the more, the merrier. Schumer and company are worried about campaign money the Democrat party would never see. The … Read more
…Fraud It takes commitment to defend whatever USAID was doing with our taxdollars, especially now that we know. The same can be said for the bufaoons at Treasury. Writing blank checks to whoever without a way to identify what it was for and which legislation authorized it. We had a way; they just chose to … Read more
Stories drift in from around the state; some are happy, and others are not. What about? Tuesday, most New Hampshire towns had local elections: town and school board elections, budgets, and many warrant articles. Turnout is king and when it comes to local election turnout typically sucks. But not always. If you missed it Tuesday … Read more
The plethora of Presidential Advisors under Previous Democratic presidents was legendary, but since Mr. Musk hit the West Wing, the Handmaiden Media has had their contributions abducted, gagged, and relegated to the narrative dungeons under the swamps of DC. Advisors? What advisors? Jill Biden, an unelected Democrat best known as the “woman” in Joe Biden’s … Read more
Democrats are actually happy to see the stock market drop. It’s the first real opportunity they’ve had to point to something that looks real that sounds good coming out of their mouths: tariffs, fear, prices, stock drop, Trump—end of the world. We told you so. You must first grasp this truth. The entire Democrat agenda … Read more

As a matter of public policy, if the Democrat party is behind something, it is probably bad for women and children, minorities, individual rights, human dignity, liberty, individual responsibility, taxes, education, or the future. Whatever they call it, it does the opposite or something radically tangential to its advertised purpose. I was reminded of this … Read more

House Representative and chair of the N.H. House Committee on Constitutional and Statute Recodification. He is widely respected for his research into the history and meaning … Read more
I’m not certain why we still have a US Department of Agriculture. To pay farmers not to grow stuff. To grow some stuff instead of other stuff. To kill healthy chickens so they don’t get bird flu (farmers get nothing if the birds die on their own, or so I hear). It also wastes millions … Read more
The classic bait and switch for Democrats has long been the issue of immigration. When Barry Obama’s open borders policy was crushing border states, the Dems defended Federal Supremacy over Immigration policy and enforcement. States that tried to regulate any aspect were dragged into court. The moment Trump 1.0 led by that example to close … Read more
A majority of New Hampshire Communities go to the polls today to vote in local town elections. To say this is important is an understatement. Your property taxes hang the balance. For the record, my town is weird. Our Deliberative Session is tomorrow, and we vote on April 8th. Merrimack is an SB2 town. But … Read more
It is not a story I’d typically cover, but when you hear the particulars, you’ll see why it was hard to pass up. Shawn P. Weiner Sr., 35, of Somersworth, was arrested and charged by the NH State Police with indecent exposure and lewdness, reckless conduct, two counts of disorderly conduct, and littering. The Dover … Read more
As pundits and experts alike lose interest in the preemptive pardon of Hunter Biden, there are still a few legal scholars pondering whether it can be thrown out. Joe Biden occupied the office of the president, not the Vatican. The forgiveness of sins, real or imagined, isn’t something seen clearly in Article II of the … Read more
The Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) held its second international conference a few weeks ago, and I’ve only just had time to begin to sift through what I can only describe as the greatness of it. What is ARC? According to the organization, inspired by the mind of Jordan Peterson, ARC is … an international … Read more
