I am a snoop for ultra-vires (i.e., beyond power) acts by the US Congress. As soon as The Legislature does something for which Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution did not give it a grant of power, my hackles get raised.
SAU 3 Berlin – Public School Library RTK
Well, the elections are over, mostly (recounts here in NH this week and this bastardization of Election Day by the Democrats just seems interminable with “oh, another box of mailed-in ballots has just been “found”), so it is time to get back to work, mostly.
Transgender Ideology Harms Children
“It’s not an ideology!” was a common response to the Facebook ad for my NH state senate campaign that asserted that “Gender ideology does not belong in schools.”
Let’s Look at the Election Process
I am not an election denier, but I am an election cynic. The events of this past week should be embarrassing to all Americans. But the fact it does not seem to concern the Left might be because it is their design.
Postmortem Analysis of the Red Puddle
On election night Republicans were all doom and gloom as they watched their hopes of a red tsunami crash. And while the historic precedent existed for such a victory and every poll had predicated it, looking back, the wreckage isn’t as devastating as Republicans perceived it.
Sunday Spotlight: Not Snow, nor Rain, nor Heat…Heck No
I try to make my Sunday Spotlight a positive, upbeat article, but this has not been a very uplifting week. This week’s Spotlight is on the United States Postal Service.
Sparking Curiosity in Education
In 2021, the New Hampshire Department of Education partnered with Discovery Education, one of the world’s leading EdTech companies. Through this collaboration, we have provided teachers and students across the state with a vast collection of high-quality, standards-aligned content, ready-to-use digital lessons, intuitive quiz and activity creation tools, and professional learning resources. These resources – … Read more
It’s Tough Out There for a Cop
Imagine the cheek involved in some of the latest capers found in our undocumented immigrant’s paradise. If you sneak into this country, you’re immediately covered by the local state, county, or municipality for every conceivable medical need for free, including those of your hundreds of close and not-so-close family members, far above that routinely offered … Read more
What Is the NH AG’s Office Hiding That 2 Prosecutors Left the YDC Case?
The departure of 2 Prosecutors for the New Hampshire Youth Development Center abuse cases smacks of another cover-up by the State. The departure was announced shortly after the State discovered millions of documents about the Youth Detention Center.
End Slavery as a Form of Punishment
This past Tuesday, four States abolished slavery. Yes, slavery as punishment is legal in the United States under the 13th Amendment punishment clause.
Emperor Sununu’s “Coattails” Were Just Long Enough to Cover Himself.
A few days before Election Week, Papa Sununu was on Newsmax. Grinning from ear to ear, he announced that “the governor” (I guess saying saying “my son” might sound less than objective) was going to win by 12-15 points and “pull all three state-wide candidates across the finish line.”
Welcome to (blue) New Hampshire
So, the 2022 elections are over, and NH decided that it had no intention of bringing about a change in political direction in Washington, DC.
Another Way to Pad the Vote
One thing you can count on with the Democrats and elections is their creativity in creating new voters and votes. Two ideas that I hope will never come to fruition are giving non-citizens the right to vote in the United States elections and lowering the voting age to sixteen. Our Constitution secures the right to vote.
Jade Wood (NH GOP Area 5 Vice-Chair): Do You Want to Play a Game of Thermonuclear Warfare? I Obliged.
As with many wars, this one started slowly and then gained velocity and I’m tired of being polite, especially the superficial kind that we often see in politics. And especially with those that use the “passive-aggressive” throwing shade “just” this side of obnoxious.
A Day for the Veterans
Today is set aside to show gratitude to every man or woman who has donned the uniform. Today we put aside talking about the 535 elected officials who work at the Capitol in Washington, D.C., and give thanks to every man and woman who chose to serve and protect this incredible country.
Trying to Make Sense of a Confused Electorate
It’s the day after. This election cycle was one of the most divisive, negative spectacles I have ever witnessed. The results show how polarized we are but also how confused. Both parties were anticipating or braced for a sea change in Washington. They got a change, but not what was expected.
How Does Online Casino Legality Change Between States in the US?
There is still no universal consensus on online casinos, and governing bodies are still not too sure how to deal with the growing popularity of the iGaming sector as well as online gambling.
No Time to Rest, On To 2024
The Midterms are behind us, and you would like a break from divisive politics. You want a hiatus from the barrage of negative political ads interrupting your favorite prime-time show, but I hate to tell you, you may not have your wish granted.
Hey Joe, I am Not a Radical or Nazi. I am a Patriot and Proud Republican
Finally, we are at decision day. Today is the only poll that matters. I have watched hours of negative ads and have been called everything from election denier, Mega MAGA, radical, Nazi, and more. I guess I should be glad about the name-calling, labeling, and finger-pointing. Because it means the other side has nothing.
And Right on Schedule, Here Comes the Bus(ES)! And AZ Votes “Misread”
Is “misread” the same as “misgendered”? I dunno – I get so confused with all the newly made up words the Left conjures up. But more on that in a bit. Buses. UNH. Actual or apocrophal?
