Mayor Craig sits atop the Board of School Committee. By all accounts, her office, the Mayors office, is heavy-handed in that role. The as-yet-unconfirmed rumor is that this interference is behind the abrupt departure of Superintendent Bolgen Vargas. It is also in play when it comes to partisan politics, student privacy, and the law.
How are the Covington boys any different than Rosa Parks?
They were innocent victims who stood silent and strong against threats and bullying. The so-called activists shouting at these teenagers are professional provocateurs with decades of experience – and for some reason – drums, pounding them inches from the boys’ faces. They were after photo ops. Look at some of the hours and hours of … Read more
It Will Take More Than Money to Fix What Ails The NH GOP
So congratulations to Steve Stepanek on his election as Chairman of the New Hampshire GOP: I don’t disagree that the New Hampshire Republican Party has a money problem. More specifically, that it cannot raise any. But money is not going to be enough to right this sinking ship. This: By patient safety zones, Planned Parenthood … Read more
Snopes Fact Checker – Nathan Phillips Falsely Claimed He Served in Vietnam “Unproven”
We don’t have Snopes budget but we did a better job of working out the Nathan Phillips fraud. The ‘so-called’ fact-checking site claims that it has not been proven that Nathan Phillips did not serve in Vietnam. That’s funny because we’ve already provided proof that he said he was there and that he never was. Exhibit A: The words … Read more
A Quick Stroll Through the NHGOP…
We had our share of technical challenges today. So, streaming the NHGOP Republican State Committee Meeting did not happen. Instead, we did some “live” blogging and Facebook updates. We reported the winners of the elections the moment they were announced. And Skip recorded some interviews and captured the speechifying of the new party leadership. Those … Read more

The Telegraph is paying the First Ladies legal fees and substantial … Read more
Unborn Babies In New York Identifying As Convicted Criminals So They Can’t Legally Be Executed
Babylon Bee is becoming my go-to source for excellent parody. Today’s example refers to New York State’s adoption of abortion from conception to live birth. We reported on the change here, and you’ll find plenty of links to stories about the move. But Babylon Bee has taken it to the next logical step. NEW YORK—According … Read more

Government Shutdown Theater: Intermission
The Government Shutdown is in remission. Or, as I prefer to say, it’s an intermission. A deal has been struck (important words) to put Federal employees back to work. Some people, like Ann Coulter, are pissed off. Trump caved. The left won. It’s over.
“There’s not a single fetal or maternal condition that requires third trimester abortion. Not one.”
Andrew Cuomo ordered the top of One World Trade Center lit up in pink the other night. It was to celebrate the passage into law of conception to live birth abortion in the State of New York. I wonder if it looked anything like a giant penis? You know, after you’ve tipped back a few or from a hazy distance.

From Newsweek so It must be True – Murder Rate in Mexico Changes Life-Expectancy for Men
As you read this keep in mind that we are in the midst of a “national debate” on security and our southern border. Newsweek is reporting that the murder rate is now so high in Mexico that the average life expectancy of Mexican men has stalled. In some states, it has gone down.
Another choice for School Choice – ‘Town Tuitioning
January 20-26 is National School Choice Week. That makes it a great time to learn more about opportunities for school choice here in New Hampshire. And one of those opportunities is something called ‘town tuitioning’, which is relatively unknown for something that’s been going on for more than a century. Some interesting facts about town … Read more
The dumbest argument in politics?
Now that a ‘red flag’ law (more precisely a ‘suspension of due process for gun owners’ law, although that would telegraph its intent too clearly) is being considered, it means we’re going to hear the following specious argument raised in its defense: ‘Rights are not unlimited. For example, you can’t yell fire in a crowded theater.’
It’s amazing to me that an argument this dumb has managed to stay around for as long as it has. Why? Because it’s so easily refuted.
Dartmouth Professor OK With Doxxing Catholic Boys from Covington
Dartmouth keeps the good times rolling. In late 2017 over 100 Dartmouth professors agreed that it was acceptable to use violence and intimidation to silence speech with which you disagree. This week we have Dartmouth Associate Professor Jeff Sharlet saying “I’ll have no problem with someone doxxing these boys.”
Democrats, Pappas and Kuster Vote to NOT Pay Federal Workers

Video Proof: Yes, Nathan Phillips Lied About Being a Vietnam Vet
In the wake of another fake news week at the major media “reporters” are scrambling to cover their tracks. Nathan Phillips, the Native American ‘victim’ in the latest Liberal Narrative Machine Production of all Trump supporters are racist, is a liar on multiple counts.
What Makes a Good NHGOP Chairman?
I was sitting with Secretary of State William Gardner yesterday discussing the 2018 election. He is very concerned with manner in which the Democrats fought this last election. They created Political Action Committees (PAC) upon PACs, designed to obscure the source of the money, most of which was from out of State. They began their … Read more
