ALL OF THE education research tells us that when parents and families are active participants in a student’s education, the attainment and outcomes are better.
It’s election season again and after an almost 4 year layoff (due to me not getting out on the “NH political circuit” for most of it), it’s time to play “Whose your Democrat Tracker?” – especially at your event. Like what happened at the Winnipesaukee Republican breakfast where Gov. Sununu was auctioning off bills that … Read more
With all due respect to Allahpundit who wrote the HotAir headline before I could claim it, Planned Parenthood has dismissed “President” Dr. Leana Wen after only 8-months.
Trump couldn’t be asking for any better as I think that other Normal people are getting tired of hearing that America is nothing but doo-doo. No gratitude at all for what America has provided. (H/T: Townhall)

The Identity Politics Left’s destruction of women’s sports continues. This time it’s at the 2019 Pacific Games in Samoa. And Samoa has a women’s weightlifting gold medal champion. Sorry, had.
A copy from 4/10/2011 – I never quite know what I’m going to find when I go searching for something in our archives (almost 34,000 posts!). Like the post below – written by James Pindel (of all people) for NYT Magazine. I figured that with primary campaigns starting up, I’d copy it (tried to just … Read more
Concord, NH – NHGOP Chairman Stephen Stepanek released the following statement regarding second quarter tax filings made by New Hampshire Employers: “Today is a good day for New Hampshire employers – thanks to Governor Sununu protecting the New Hampshire economy when he vetoed the disastrous Democrat budget. Granite State employers submitting their quarterly tax payments … Read more
Does it ever feel to you like everything not prohibited is required? The average American declares he is a free man, but is that declaration now more pretense than reality? Can we be free in a place where more and more is of, for and by the state? In a place where virtually nothing is outside … Read more
House Bill 261 lowers the acceptable level of arsenic in our drinking water to 5 ppb. Much like the PFOA/PFAS scaremongering, there is no large body of sound science (I can find) on how this change will do more than benefit State agencies while wasting millions of dollars.
OK, I’m not going to repeat the list I put up here of one Eco-Socialist’s plot to achieve the UN’s IPCC plan to 45% decarbonize in 12 years. But go over there and read it again as a refresher. Otherwise, the comments below may not make much sense: I tried to warn the TreeHugger denizens “be careful of what you wish for.”
Mayor Joyce Craig has done nothing to improve the quality of education in Manchester. As Chairman of the Board, she should have come in with a plan to improve the public schools in Manchester. Instead, she appears to be punting that authority to community organizers like Manchester Proud and the Nellie Mae Foundation. Both of … Read more
In a speech at the National Conservatism Conference, Peter Thiel addressed China’s ties to Google. Thiel is the billionaire, co-founder of PayPal, and Facebook board member. In part, Thiel’s speech listed three questions which should be asked of Google.
Four days ago we reported our Grok July Summer surge from 5th on our list of NH Media Internet traffic leaders to 3rd place. Yesterday we leaped over Seacoast Online into the Number two spot, behind the Union Leader.
On the way home from Concord to drop the Saab for servicing, I noticed a wonderful license plate that I had to have TMEW take a snapshot. I just couldn’t stop smiling and chuckling. However, did you catch the other two messages? The license plate holder: Leave me alone And NOT the religious “Coexist” bumper sticker … Read more
I just love Treehugger – just like I love CongressTwits AOC, Tlaib, Omar and Pressley. Just keep talking and talking, and talking some more. Pretty soon, they all end up either going off the deep end or proving my points for me. Either way, it is always a win-win-win for Free Market / Individual Liberty … Read more
Bernie Sanders. It is no coincidence that his initials are, “B.S.” I cannot figure out if he is dumb, ignorant or both. Bernie Sanders never held a real job in life. Bernie Sanders’ first stable paycheck came by way of election to the office of mayor for Burlington Vermont.
Maggie Hassan met with Strafford County officials regarding a recent cyber-attack on their computer systems. Senator Hassan, if you forgot, had her own Senate office hacked last year. I guess that makes her an expert.
