What happened? Reuters is reporting that Wednesday Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido declared himself interim president. American President Trump formally recognized Guaido shortly after his announcement. Trump praised Guaido’s plan to hold elections. That was followed by similar statements from Canada and a group of Latin American governments including Venezuela’s neighbors Brazil and Colombia. Socialist … Read more
Some people say Democrat politicians care more about illegal aliens than about American citizens. There are millions of American victims of illegal aliens: victims of crime, accidents, diseases, loss of jobs and lower wages, crowded and bankrupted hospitals, crowded and degraded schools, and higher taxes for already financially stressed Americans. Democrats fight to allow illegal … Read more
Jeff Danziger, in an opinion piece for the Fall River Herald News, says as a Vermonter, he knows New Hampshire doesn’t deserve the first in the nation primary. I’ve had plenty to say about the distinction. I’m not sure we deserve it either. The way it warps the party politics and puts an emphasis on … Read more
Phase III: The Historical Perspective of Sherman Antitrust Deflation-Inflation around the turn of the century Populists were restive in the late 19th century partly because a mild deflation was in progress. The country was on the gold standard. Productivity growth was greater than the growth of the money supply. The deflation caused the transfer of … Read more
If you missed the news a teacher got put on paid leave after some students sang a KKK song. The Class was exploring Reconstruction and the founding of the Klan (By Democrats, by the way) after the Civil War. The student jingle was not appropriate for any room let alone a classroom. But nothing that would get … Read more
If you ever thought you’d get a moments peace, forget it. What passes for the Liberal mind never sleeps. There is always another injustice that needs a scapegoat. Not that you couldn’t predict with near perfect accuracy who might be to blame. Tigger warning. It’s white people and their white privilege.
At the 603 Alliance “Thank YOU!” event this past Saturday afternoon in Manchester, I was asked to go around and do a few quick interviews of both 603 Board members, those that assisted during their candidate events, and some candidates as well. Next on my list of folks to talk to was long time / … Read more
At the Northwood Community Center, Ian Underwood gave a presentation on educational funding that basically told the audience that we were thinking about the wrong thing. Much of the debate in NH (and elsewhere) always has money at the forefront – instead, we ought to be mindful of student achievement first and then what is “fair” … Read more
by Rodger Paxton Of all the things New Hampshire could import – oil, clothing, pug slippers for your pug – perhaps the two that will have the most long-term impact on our state would be ideas and people. If you’re like me, you can feel our state is at a crossroads – a radical turn … Read more
By Keith Stern: As a conservative Republican living in Vermont watching the progressives make this a state to exit I am following what is happening in New Hampshire and I am worried. Time is rapidly running out for your state. It could go the way of a progressive’s paradise as well. The leadership of the … Read more
And the beat goes on With the country now into the second month of partial government shutdown, the partisan battle over border security is ice cold. Monday President Trump tweeted, “If Nancy Pelosi thinks that Walls are ‘immoral,’ why isn’t she requesting that we take down all of the existing Walls between the U.S. and … Read more
I think we can agree that if the Covington Catholic School kids visit Mr. Trump at the White House, they’ll have something about which to talk. Blatant, knee-jerk, liberal bias. A full court press by the lefty-media that lead to threats to these students health and lives. Reporting that was so one-sided, biased, and wrong, at … Read more
You can read the Planned Parenthood annual report if you want. It’s mostly marketing. There are some useful data about how many people they’ve helped end. Human lives never lived. But what I found interesting were the financial details. Planned Parenthood reports $1.88 Billion in assets.
Phase II: The Historical Perspective of Sherman Antitrust The Winds of Economic change Coming to the close of the 19th century America’s economic conditions encouraged large concerns in manufacturing and distribution. Those firms which could make their products at one location using large scale and then ship their wares nationwide were advantaged. Those firms began … Read more
The governor of Virginia has proposed reforms that would eliminate voter ID in that state. The package also includes something called no-excuse absentee voting. Together they provide no excuse for not stealing votes. But hey, this is for the people. Wait, which people?
Who knew that New York would look to New Hampshire for inspiration on its abortion laws? A vote in Albany by the New York Senate does just that, 46 years to the day after the U.S. Supreme Court handed down with a thud the twin decisions Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton. Next stop: the abortion-friendly state Assembly. Governor Andrew Cuomo is ready to sign the measure when it reaches his desk.

By Len Turcotte (former NH State Representative):
Here we go again, another Family Medical Leave Insurance (FMLI) bill proposed by liberal NH Democrats (HB712). Never comfortable or satisfied with the idea of the private sector providing market-rate policies, Senator Feltes and a slew of Democrat legislators want to implement a new 0.5% tax on income disguised as an insurance premium.
The various justifications for abortion all prove that the thing they are aborting is a human life. Consider. Many women “aren’t ready.” Aren’t ready for what? Children. It’s too much commitment (children). I (we) can’t afford (to have children).
