Other actors are so connected to a role they played but maybe not as much as today’s Sunday Spotlight. Lieutenant Dan has been with us since he came to life in the timeless movie Forest Gump over twenty-five years ago. Lieutenant Dan was a fearless officer in Vietnam who lost his legs to a bombing. Upset, he was saved by Forest Gump, Dan went on to make the most of his life.
Are Pandering Politicians Painting New Hampshire Statesmen Purple?
Government should be a platform where people engage and debate – that’s what our Founders enshrined in the Constitution, so good ideas and worthy candidates could emerge through political discourse. It is a system meant to raise up leaders of the people who legislate for what is important to the communities they serve. In New … Read more
A Resurgence of the Revolutionary War Black Robed Regiment? It’s about the Values
It is a sobering realization: Then one afternoon, while working on a sermon, his heart sunk. In the background, he’d been listening to a rerun of “The Andy Griffith Show,” enjoying the characters’ expressions of traditional values. Then, a new show came on, one focused on crime, with coarse language, and values very unlike his … Read more
Night of Rage
Well, we were promised more “mostly peaceful” protests if SCOTUS dared overturn Roe vs Wade. They did and fulfilling their promise “Jane’s Revenge”, a radical group of a radical movement called out that “If Rowe can’t be safe neither can you”. Sure enough, all those “mostly peaceful” protestors (aka terrorists) turned out, clashed with police … Read more
Dealing with Maggie Hassan
Well, here we are. I’m an old guy. I was born a couple of years before Ike Eisenhower was elected US President. It was at the height of American power. Eisenhower had fought the Nazis to surrender. Our industrial power was unmatched in pounding out everything from slingshots, aircraft carriers, and to space weapons. What … Read more
Crassness? I Think This Is Called “Stepping on Your Opponent’s Speech.” Nice, Maya of the Chuck Morse Campaign
First, it was the current Communications Director of the NH GOP. Now it is the former one: Maya Harvey. Like many of the NH GOP staffers, she jumped ship (like Joe Sweeney) in their efforts to grab the brass ring (as I have been putting it for YEARS) in riding a Federal campaign into The … Read more
Mayor Donchess No Longer Supports the Vision Property Assessment Revaluation
On June 21, 2022, The City held the public hearing for the 2023 Budget. Of course, the Mayor opened the meeting with a discussion on the budget and some significant tax impact issues facing the City. Once such topic covered the August release of the new property assessments coming to property owners’ mailboxes and hitting … Read more
Dobbs Decision Means New Hampshire Will Get Bluer … And Why That’s A Good Thing
The leadership of the NHGOP wasted no time, after the Supreme Court’s Dodds decision was finally released, to assure us that New Hampshire will continue to allow abortion, for any reason, for the first 24 weeks:
The intellectual orthagonal “plane” – the Constrained (Conservative) vs Unconstrained (Progressive/Socialist) Outlooks. Never the Twain Shall Meet
The conflicting visions he describes in the book are the constrained or tragic view of human nature and the unconstrained or utopian view. People with a more constrained view of the human condition see mankind as hopelessly flawed. They see inherent limits to human betterment. We might want to end war or poverty or racism, … Read more
Cornerstone Statement on Dobbs Decision
With Friday’s decision in Dobbs, the issue of abortion has now been returned entirely to the states. Despite what you may have heard, Granite Staters who oppose abortion should understand that, when it comes to abortion law, this decision changes nothing about our immediate situation in New Hampshire. Early this year, Governor Sununu—despite his earlier promise to … Read more
Is It Time For The NHGOP To Stop The Hypocrisy On Abortion?
I have been under the impression that the New Hampshire Republican Party’s platform says that life begins at conception. I went to the website nh.gop to verify that because in light of the recent Dobbs decision overturning Roe and Casey, a Party that says it is opposed to abortion AND that has legislative majorities and also controls the Governor’s office should be expected to hold a special session to outlaw or at least further restrict abortions.

To the OPPONENTS of the PARENTAL Bill of Rights: Sexual Grooming of Children Continues
To those legislators who voted against the Parental Bill of Rights Legislation in New Hampshire, I will be here to remind you that you voted to deny parents important information about their children while they are in school.
Expert Says Exposing Young Kids to “Child-Friendly” Drag Shows is a Form of Sexual Abuse
Drag shows are sex shows. Everything about them is sexual fantasy mixed with the latest deviancy trend—fantasies for adults, who are entitled to them, but never for children. And now we’ve got another reason why.
A Great Week for Trump’s MAGA Court
Elections have consequences, and although Trump only spent one term in the White House, his impact is immense. With the three Justices he put on the Supreme Court, he changed American life’s dynamics. As this SCOTUS term closes, the decisions are coming down with a definite Conservative tone. The Liberals are apoplectic. It’s a beautiful … Read more
Governor Groomer Says: Your Body … My Choice
Consistency can be a rare and precious jewel. Nowhere more so than with Sun-King Sununu, aka Chrissy-Abortion, aka Governor Groomer, who believes in “my body, my choice,” when it comes to abortion (which obviously involves, at some point, a third-party who gets no choice), but not when it comes to actual medical decisions:
Gunstock Area Commission: Finally, the Elephant in the Room Is Addressed
And I just loved the way that Commissioner Gary Kiedaisch tried to project that he’s both a victim while being an accuser. I’ll return to this in a bit. First, the videos from the meeting. They are edited for time and issue and if anyone wants the entire meeting, I can provide that as well. … Read more

A Tale of Two Shootings
The week of May 22, 2022, there were two mass firearm assaults. One in Uvalde, Texas I am sure you are all aware of – 19 children and 2 adults dead. The second, Charleston, West Virginia, you would probably never have heard of except for this editorial.
Belknap County Republican Committee – Keynote Speaker: JR Hoell vs DCYF
A couple of weeks ago was the monthly meeting of the BCRC where former NH State Representative (and has filed to run again) JR Hoell was the main speaker of the night. His topic was his run-in with DCYF that, apparently, wanted to take his children away from him and his wife simply because he … Read more
