It will have been hard to miss the weekend coup that occurred at the offices of USAID. Trump sent Team DOGE in, who locked everyone out and then told the entire USAID staff not to come to work on Monday. “At the direction of Agency leadership, the USAID headquarters at the Ronald Reagan building in … Read more
I have received a number of anonymous election law complaints filed with the New Hampshire Secretary of State’s Office. The first is related to the Committee to Elect House Republicans (CTEHR) The complaint purports to identify several significant discrepancies amounting to nearly $170,000.00 in missing funds for which there is no obvious expenditure in the … Read more
In 2022, the voters of Vermont approved a constitutional amendment meant to enshrine abortion as a natural protected right. The text didn’t say that, but everyone involved knows better. The goal was to make sure no one could prevent abortions. The problem, which I explored in numerous posts like this one, is that the language … Read more
In part one of this podcast series, attorney Greg Sorg is a former NH State Representative who has successfully filed briefs with the Supreme Court arguing against continuing involvement of the court in legislative functions. He lays out the history and key points of the Claremont Decision. I want to thank Paul Ingbretson for making … Read more
Sixty-seven people are dead thanks to the Federal Aviation F-around and Find Out Administration (FAFAFOA). It is a problem that has been growing for over a decade of FAFO hiring policy decisions at the FAA and elsewhere that began during the Obama administration. First things first. The Associated Press reported Thursday that preliminary findings by … Read more
Nina Jankowicz didn’t exactly have her rhetorical 15 minutes of fame, but she was a household name for a hot minute, which she has milked into a career thanks to the Handmaiden media. The ‘Jank’ went from obscure to front page when she was appointed to lead the Biden Administration’s Disinformation Governance Board. A construct … Read more
The “death with dignity” folks are back with another wordy piece of legislation to get the State into the business of supervising self-discorporation. While we have more than demonstrated how dangerous this course is, those obsessed with death and depopulation continue to seek paths to state-managed suicide. The first hearing for this year’s “effort” (HB254) … Read more
Democrats took a break from crying about losing their abortion rights (which hasn’t happened) to blame Trump for the tragic collision of a Blackhawk helicopter and a commercial jet over Washington DC. Trump also spoiled the week-old almond milk in the 15,000 dollar fridge and may have been responsible for hiding the keys to their … Read more
If you want to know how brave a media outlet is, look for the story about the “couple” involved in the murder of US Border Patrol Agent David Maland. Our local ABC News affiliate has several stories they’d like you to read. You’ll discover where they got the gun used to kill Agent Maland, where … Read more
In a not-so-strange coincidence, the amount of outrage, sorry, I mean objection directed at Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at his confirmation hearing can be tied to the amount of money the concerned “watchdog” Senator has received from … Big Pharma. A clip of New Hampshire’s own Margaret Wood Hassan made the rounds on X with … Read more
So many orders and so little time, which makes the Handmaiden media and Democrats cranky. How do we target, isolate, and attack a thing when hundreds of them come at us every day? Don’t worry, they’ll work it out, and while we wait, they can keep shouting Nazi and Fascist as if that’s not more … Read more
The rules on these pages are simple. It’s a private space. You comment at our pleasure, but we enjoy the debate, so the threshold is set high. Direct or implied threats of harm to any individual or group will get you tossed, as will verbal abuse of other commenters and spam. Until last Saturday, we … Read more
At least a few Granite Staters will be displeased. We are not rid of Chris Sununu. He’s still finding a way to get his face on television even though he’s not in elected office. Sure, he’s been subpoenaed for a wrongful arrest lawsuit, so we should expect to see some Sununuing around that, but why … Read more
K. Jake Langlais is the Superintendent of the Lewiston Public Schools. Langlais sent a letter to the district population alerting them to what, based on his own words, appears to be a non-problem. Langlais says, “We want to be clear – to our knowledge, the families of our school community have gone through various immigration … Read more
If you missed last night’s Granite State Live, you should check it out. Great show. Keith, Terese, and guest Leah Cushman covered the NH DCYF and Famly Court hijinks, New Hampshire’s decades-long failure to protect its children, and the systemic (ongoing) cover-up of this failure. But that is not why I have gathered you here … Read more
Last fall, we reported on the shenanigans of Lisa and Joshua Urovitch. The Massachusetts residents got caught voting from a rental property address in Concord, New Hampshire. While they owned the property, they were not living in it, they just pretended to futz with New Hampshire Elections in 2022 and 2020. New Hampshire’s keystone cops … Read more
There is no connection between money and academic outcomes unless you mean that kids can learn more for a lot less – there is a lot of evidence for that. But the Ed god behemoth demands to be fed, and those who benefit politically from this arrangement insist the answer is more. Always more. They … Read more
The machine that turns the fruits of your great-grandchildren’s yet-unearned income into grift (plus interest) for the deep state machine got some bad news. The new Sheriff wants to put a hold on things just in case the previous “sheriff” was a bit too fast and loose with those future “earnings.” As in, 36 Trillion … Read more
I’ve seen a few things in the tidal wave of executive orders that make me twitch. I need to fisk them before I say too much more. But for the most part, I’m not complaining, though I reserve the individual right to scratch those itches. I suspect there are a few things that deserve more … Read more
The courts have said don’t do it. Do not block “constituents” on social media – if you use that platform for politics. The lesson is to separate the two, but not everyone is able. In some cases, especially for the Marxist-Leaning lot, they could no sooner separate politics from discourse than bones from their flesh. … Read more
