Neither Mike Bordes nor Travis O’Hara should be allowed to go back to Concord, and while they’d be better than most Democrats, you’d actually have to show up for that to work, which makes this rather amusing. Bordes wrote an Op-Ed for the Laconia Daily Sun, pimping O’Hara as prepared and present for County Delegation … Read more
Planned Parenthood of Northern New England (PPNE) has been complaining for months about how it won’t make as much money as it likes—a “shortfall,” they call it. The response is to threaten services and whine about the political climate in a part of the country where states enshrine a right to their services into their … Read more
The DNC Convention was a COVID-19 super-spreader event. Reports suggest almost everyone who attended knows someone who contracted COVID-19 at the convention. They’ve been sharing their woes on social media along with images of positive tests. Please excuse my Shadenfrued, but the most “mRNA-vaccinated” collective of human flesh on planet Earth can’t stop telling us … Read more
Rumor has it Geno Marconi opposed developing offshore wind in the Gulf of Maine. I have also heard from fishermen (through a third party) that Geno opposed the redevelopment of Rye Harbor, which would wipe out the shacks and kick out local business owners.

A handful of Substacks ago, I asked a question. If the migrant invasion is not displacement, what is it? Is its purpose rising crime, record drug overdoses, overburdened towns, cities, schools, families, resources, and so on? What’s the point of it? And if it is none of those things, are you trying to replace the domestic population? Woven … Read more
A story about corruption in California isn’t likely to surprise anyone, or that Los Angeles might be the corruption Mecca. It’s a big city with lots of Libs, a lot of money, one-party rule, and a bit of political corruption. How much? Four LA city council members have been investigated in the past year, with … Read more
At the end of WWI, Europe went from three republics to thirteen. There was a hustle and bustle to embrace constitutions and parliamentary government all amidst the economic, societal, and cultural ruin of a war that completely redefined the political lines of a region that had known little but authoritarian rule. Russia’s response was Bolshevism … Read more
I have the good fortune of getting invited to go boating out of Portsmouth a few times each summer, and we pass the lighthouse on our way out to sea. High tide, low tide, you, me, anyone who looks can tell there is nothing to see. There is no connection between sea level and “carbon” … Read more
Dems spent a good deal of time, money, and earned media trying to keep Donald Trump off the primary ballot. This was not election meddling, tampering, or anything else. Dems spent much time, money, and earned media trying to keep RFK and Cornell West off the General election ballot. This was not election meddling, tampering, … Read more

Libs of TikTok shared a story about the Vermont Department of Health. It has issued a fatwa on the proper use of language and adopted a moral obligation to ensure that we do not incidentally hurt each other’s feelings as if that’s their job. This is Vermont. Hurt feelings must be a burgeoning public health … Read more
It is no secret that EV makers have been struggling. The vehicles are expensive and unreliable—did we mention that they are expensive? Tesla has managed to maintain its edge and market share, but given all the space required for solar, there is only so much room in the world for these lawn ornaments. Saturation was … Read more
You will now find the publication date for content everywhere. It appears on the home page, the category pages New England, Nation, World), the State Pages (NH, VT, ME), and the New Hampshire MicroGrok pages. As reported in the last update (update!), we are switching ad packages. That happened today but might take a little … Read more
IN 2014, three people in the Granite State were infected with Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), and two of them died. We haven’t had any cases since then. But the NH Department of Public Health just announced a 2024 death from EEE. The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Division of Public Health … Read more
Every few years, we get a spike in stories about how the Federal Government controls vast swathes of land in supposedly sovereign states. This control, exerted as part of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, prevents states from utilizing their own land, and Utah has had enough of that. Utah’s lawsuit contends that the Bureau of Land … Read more
Democrats in and out of the media want to bail out newsrooms. The progressives can’t seem to move on. Newspapers are dying, but the people obsessed with Forward keep looking back. Longingly. Pining for a publicly funded propaganda machine (NPR just isn’t enough). Yearning for someone to bail out their mouthpieces. Millions have been dumped … Read more
Whether you call them elites, the ruling class, Globalists, the political class, or just an appropriately derogatory euphemism (that place where the feces come out, as an example), they all share a common Marxist thread—naming things what they are not. Men aren’t women. Diversity and inclusion offices divide and exclude. The Inflation Reduction Act worsened … Read more
It is no secret that Elon Musk is packing his California bags and moving to Texas. From parental rights infringements to taxes to drug users blocking the parking garage exit such that he can leave X in San Fran, he’s had it. Everyone to the exits. Last month, Musk, who bought Twitter in 2022, announced … Read more
Because there’s nothing else in the entire world to report, there have been a number of headlines suggesting that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ate a dog. It looks like he ate a dog. RFK Jr. denys he ate dog. Reminiscent of the Romneys torturing their dog on the top of their moving vehicle or reporters … Read more
Like dandelions in spring, outraged headlines are popping up across the internet. Several towns in Massachusetts are telling people to stay indoors after 5 p.m. There has been a case of Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), a mosquito-borne virus that can be deadly.
