Keno-Garten Gravy Train Crashes

Last year, the New Hampshire government promised its cities and towns that if they passed all-day Kindergarten, it would help cover a larger portion of the per-pupil costs.  I was pretty leery of this plan, since most government subsidies (gimmes) eventually fade away, leaving the subsidizee holding the bag (think Federal Special Education grants). The … Read more

Kids Already Learn Everywhere, So Let’s Give Them Credit

By Colleen Hroncich, As any parent will tell you, learning doesn’t end when the school day ends. Not all kids thrive in a conventional classroom—some earn their marks after the dismissal bell through service, sports, nature, or the arts. Why shouldn’t their learning count for graduation credits? That’s the game-changing proposal that New Hampshire Governor … Read more

The 603 Alliance Announces Its 2020 Presidential Endorsement

The 603 Alliance: Four years ago the 603 Alliance in New Hampshire began plans to hold an Iowa style caucus of NH voters in October of 2015.

Democrat House Leadership Has to Rein In Anti-Semite Ilhan Omar

The first Somali-American woman elected to Congress is an anti-semite. She’s also a Democrat if that isn’t obvious. And for the better part of five and a half weeks, she’s been running her mouth off. Back on January 6th, in a report on her openly anti-Semitic history, I asked, “…when will the Liberal-scolds get off their hypocrisy … Read more

Anti-Gun Bills: The Short View

I don’t believe that the Democratic majorities in the House and Senate have any interest in protecting rights that they don’t think are important — in particular, the right to keep and bear arms for self-defense, whether against criminals, or against the state. But I do believe that they are interested in power — that is, … Read more

Anti-Gun Bills: The Long View

The first thing to be said about all of the firearm-related bills being considered in Concord is that they take the wrong approach toward the goals sought by their sponsors.  The right approach would be to amend the New Hampshire Constitution to declare that not all persons have the right to defend themselves, to claim that self-defense is a privilege, to change the definition of ‘persons’ to something like ‘persons who don’t scare us’, and so on.

But until such changes have been made, any fifth-grader can see that these bills conflict with the New Hampshire Constitution.  It takes a constitutional scholar to miss that.

Extremism and the culture of death

By Ovide Lamontagne ALTHOUGH IT HORRIFIES most people, can anyone really be surprised to learn that the abortion agenda of the Left includes unregulated late-term abortions through the ninth month of pregnancy (yes, think late-term abortionist and convicted murderer, Dr. Kermit Gosnell). Using your tax dollars to pay for abortion on demand throughout those nine … Read more

BlogQuestion of the Day: why do they demand…

So much for self-responsibility. And several new caravans have been launched – one purportedly over 10,000.  Is this really how our immigration policy is supposed to work? Why are Democrats so absolutely willing to Cloward-Piven their own country other than to see it crash and burn and thinking “and THEN we will finally be the … Read more

Trump will not allow this country to go more Socialist

By David Scott: Who is it that disagrees with some of the issues presented in the State of the Union message by President Donald Trump on February 5, 2019?

Green New Deal Protester: I want Universal Basic Income Like They Have In Alaska

with Beth Scaer: Yesterday I reported on how Jeanne Shaheen was taking a little “heat” from her environmental left. The Senator had not fired up the press-release mill to gush over the Green New Deal.

Turner Networks Cancels Michael Moore’s “Refreshing” Take on Politics

Michael Moore failed to deliver on his promise. He told Turner Network Television (TNT) he wanted to create a political program that “was to be ‘a raucous gathering place for millions of our fellow citizens in desperate need of a break from the screaming pundits and the purveyors of ‘alternative facts.'” Two and a half years later, the Fat Marxist Millionaire from Michigan has failed to deliver anything. Turner has rescinded the offer.
