Having been Foster Parents for a bit, most “regular” folks have no idea what goes on other than what appears on TV for the worst of cases (e.g., Harmony Montgomery). So, I’m looking to add to that “knowledgebase” from time to time with some anecdotes from when we started with the Grandson nine years ago … Read more
New Hampshire is the freest state in the country and on the continent. But on some measures of economic freedom, we do poorly. Most Granite Staters would probably be surprised to learn that New Hampshire is in the top 20 most regulated states in the nation.

We can proudly claim to be the tip of the spear in the movement to stop the nomination of Melinda “Mindy” Atwood. Stephen Scaer launched it on November 29th with his post, “Tell NH Executive Council to Reject Radical State Librarian Nominee.” Others followed, which is the point. The tip is useless without a shaft … Read more

Jeanne “The National Debt Machine” Shaheen is up for reelection in 2026, which means a few things. First, it will be used by the proglodytes to funnel obscene amounts of money into the state to help Dems up and down the ticket. Lots of television and radio. All the usual ridiculous lies. Republicans need to … Read more
Even after winning the popular vote, Democrats are hell-bent on the destruction of one of the last vestiges of our Republic. It is a Republic, not a Democracy, but absent the Electoral College, Presidential elections would be decided by popular vote, which, if you’re looking for a reason not to do that, I give you … Read more
A report dropped this week outlining a significant rise in homelessness across the state of New Hampshire.

(MyKeeneNow) Homelessness in New Hampshire surged by an unprecedented 52.1 percent in 2023, marking the … Read more
The 603 Alliance held a fantastic local Presidential Inauguration Gala when Trump won last time, and they are doing it again. Dinner, dancing, music by the B-Street Bombers, no political speeches, and we plan to live stream the events in DC. If you can’t afford to attend the real thing (most of us can’t), would … Read more
Reviving American manufacturing is a hot topic in the nation and New Hampshire once again.

Governor-Elect Kelly Ayotte is on the record as ready to assist President Trump with the deportation of illegal aliens. “Part of the way we keep New Hampshire safe is making sure that we have dangerous criminals off our streets. If there are those that are on the terror watch list, they shouldn’t be on our … Read more
Disputes over municipal records in Nashua are characterized by significant contention. City officials operate through a distorted political lens. To engage with the Nashua government, one needs to align with their political views in order to receive cooperation and timely access to governmental records as required by New Hampshire’s Right-to-Know (RTK) Law (RSA 91-A).

I’m sure many people are hoping that I will let it go, but I won’t. 88 Rs voted to obstruct access to public records last spring by supporting the RTK tax, aka HB 1002. 22 of them are no longer in office and I’m pleased to say that one of those 22 is former Judiciary … Read more
Some members of the legislature believe that public schools are no longer “fixable.” They want universal state-funded spending accounts to allow all students, rich or poor, to escape public schools. They call it “school choice,” but it’s really an insidious transfer of power to the state. Yes, public schools are a uniform mess, but the … Read more

I opened this morning’s email to a group memo from former Alderman Teeboom, known locally as the author of the original cap. There’s so much to say about the cap, its history (SB 52 of 2021 and HB 1342 of 2022), and city baggage (including litigation) associated with it, but I’ll cut to the chase … Read more
The state of New Hampshire is a great place except for family court, election integrity, too much dependence on federal money, institutionalized child-sex predation, electricity prices, and jackpot justice. Wow, Steve, that sounds like a terrible place. It’s not awful. Better than most. We have a low total tax burden, increasing liberty, and a great … Read more
A RECENT op-ed published in the Union Leader by Nashua Aldermen Tim Sennott, Tom Lopez and Melbourne Moran highlighted the need for aldermen and city leaders to rein in spending. Board members should view spending as a nonpartisan issue, recognizing the financial limitations that our citizens funding government face. While the op-ed raised important points, … Read more
[This was written in response to an editorial at the New Hampshire Bulletin, about Education Freedom Accounts. I sent it to the Bulletin, but the editor, who is also the author of the piece, said that it was ‘just not the kind of opinion pieces we run’. So I’m publishing it at Grok instead.] Confucius … Read more
