Transcript above, Video below. Mr. Speaker, Madame President, Mr. Chief Justice, honorable members of the House, Senate, Councilors, former Governors, my fellow citizens: It is humbling to stand before you today. It’s so wonderful to see so many of my family here, especially my parents. Thank you! In this chamber, I see friends, colleagues, and dedicated … Read more
If you wanted a bill written that was impossible to implement on poorly planned deadlines and outrageously expensive, you’d call a Vermont Democrat. Their track record is hard to beat. But Dems in Maskachusetts are vying for a spot on the podium. Last year they passed a bill mandating better backup facilities NOW, but the … Read more
There were a lot of surprises on the morning of November 6th, 2024. The Democrats lost the US House, the US Senate, and the Oval Office, and the abortion issue was unable to overshadow the problems plaguing regular Americans. If Democrats can’t win with abortion, what are they going to do? It didn’t work in … Read more
We’ve heard stories about transplant and other patients being denied care for refusing a COVID-19 injection in the past. It was wrong then, and it’s wrong now. But not at Dartmouth Hitchcock. It is reportedly denied a life-saving transplant to a patient (Dec 23, 2024) because she never received a COVID-19 injection. Yes, in 2025. … Read more
Just days before Christmas, we followed up on the 197 missing votes in Windham originally reported back in November. Observers from the Secretary of State’s Office had released a report on their experience but made no mention of the difference between the number of ballots and the number of votes. Tom Murray and Ken Eyring … Read more
The Bow School District (Bow) tried to get away with intimidating parents and denying them their constitutional rights, and the Concord Monitor (CM) attempted to provide air cover. Ann Marie Banfield visited this on Sunday. Bow thinks it can suppress the constitutional right to peaceful protest. The School District is in a court battle and … Read more
This will be our 5th piece on a proposed NH House Rule Change (over just three days). The change, as explained to us, would allow committees to table any bill, meaning no public hearing. Save time and streamline. Eliminate redundancy. That was the plan, and everyone I’ve since heard was on board. It had bi-partisan … Read more
I wandered over to a different Grok, X’s AI, and found this headline. META Ditches Fact-Checkers for Community Notes. Who doesn’t click on that? Here’s what it said. Multiple Media reports confirm this as accurate. As many of our readers have been banned, thrown in Facebook Jail, and throttled by Meta, we look forward to … Read more
There’s a lot of injustice in the world, and not all its victims have a voice. Enter New Hampshire State Representative Mike Bordes. He’s a ‘republican’ from the Lakes region who voted to allow abortions in the late months of pregnancy. He’s also anti-parental rights and blocked efforts to remove porn from public schools, which … Read more
The Danes are an interesting lot. They publish research proving that polar ice and polar bears are fine while being all in on the not-so-renewable energy fad. They were big on the wind before there was a big wind, and for years, it has been painfully evident that it’s not going to work, but they … Read more
The words “Housing Crisis” have achieved epidemic status next to “overdose deaths,” “Bird Flu,” and if you are one for reminiscing, everything about the COVID thing. It is a topic with a polarizing quality whose solutions I have inferred might not be so good for New Hampshire. A less frequently cited problem in housing “issues” … Read more
I wrote this last year, but with a new session just a few days away, I thought this might be a good time to revisit it. Elected officials who use social media accounts to report on their duties, votes, bills, hearings, or anything similar are setting themselves up to get sued if they block people … Read more
It is no secret that Wikipedia is part of the #woke media complex. Its editors are a cabal of Pharisees, and the content is increasingly suspect, even on topics like science. What was once intended as an encyclopedia by the people is one by certain people with a very narrow left-wing sense of meaning meant … Read more
Biden’s FCC reinstituted (Obama-Era) net neutrality rules in April. They were suspended in August while a challenge lounged around in the federal court system. It only took four months, but the 6th Circuit has trashed the rules and told the FCC that it lacks the authority to regulate in this manner. The Federal Communications Commission … Read more
Here’s a quick (bonus!) finger-in-the-eye sort of post. Comma-Lah seems to have forgotten the pledge of allegiance (*assuming she ever knew it, of course). Grok Shot: Kamala Forgets* the Pledge of Allegiance
I doubt there’s scientific research on it, but I’ve had this idea niggling at the back of my mind for a while. Anecdotally, how likely is your voting district to blue-shift based on the number of apartments you allow developers to add? We know that urban areas overwhelmingly vote Democrat. These places had a lot … Read more
Last year, the Vermont Legislature wrote and passed a law, S.259, the “Climate Superfund Act.” Its stated purpose is to fiscally fine fossil fuel companies for damage caused by “climate change.” Its actual purpose is to grub about for money to fill holes in mismanaged budges created by big-spending Democrats. I’ve said plenty about how … Read more
The busybodies running the town of Epping, New Hampshire, have decided to make a little more money from a local “race track.” On Monday, the town will hold a public meeting regarding by-law changes that apply to “THE REGULATION AND LICENSING OF MOTOR VEHICLE RACE TRACK.” Here is the full statement on the situation (Facebook) … Read more
You likely suspect or perhaps even know, but that’s not nearly as handy as having receipts to show people who are freaking out about the potential bird flu pandemic. We’re here to help. The evidence points to gain-of-function research. Yes, the federal government was involved (USDA). Here’s Peter McCullough talking about it. And the research … Read more
Mike Johnson will continue to be the Speaker of the US House after a last-minute first vote change by two republican holdouts. Speaker nominee Mike Johnson (R-La.) clinched 218 votes to reclaim the gavel on the first ballot. The final tally was 218 for Johnson and 215 for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.). Three … Read more
