Introduction In his polemical essay against school vouchers, Andru Volinsky trades on well-worn tropes: that public education is a pillar of democracy, that vouchers threaten social equity, and that the Civil Rights Movement should be invoked to shield the status quo. Yet this rhetorical sleight-of-hand obscures deeper truths. Public education in America was not built … Read more
The infamous Democrat scold, Jeanne Dietsch, has been struggling to find political relevance for years. Since being booted from her very short stint in the NH State Senate, she has launched project after project, unable to accumulate meaningful traction because – let’s be honest – they are little different from the rest of the Left’s … Read more
NH Outright posted flyers in Nashua and on social media targeting kids as young as 11. The flyers invite children to join a “support group for middle and high school LGBTQIA+ youth.” The QR code on the flyer links to a form that collects the child’s name, phone number, email address, pronouns, and “identities.” Related: … Read more
Most people assume there’s a method to the madness when it comes to redistricting every 10 years. Having voted in the 2nd largest city for so long and having only been paying attention to such things for a short while, I became somewhat simple minded. Nashua has a population of about 90,000, and it also … Read more
Earlier in the week, New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte signed HB551, which repealed the requirement for an additional local retail license to lawfully sell firearms in the Granite State.

I just got my new jetpack, and my new micro-helicopter, so I won’t be using the roads anymore. Who do I see about getting my ‘road dollars’ back? What, you say? There’s no such thing? We just pay for the roads, and whoever wants to use them can? And because anyone can use them, we … Read more

Rev Kimberly Conway Hester had gone dormant in my mind for the past few years until today! More on today in a moment, but I will start with a secular answer to the titled question, asking who she is. Hester is a masker and was featured on WMUR in August 2021, pushing for Mask Madness … Read more

Both chambers of the New Hampshire legislature have passed HB148, “permitting classification of individuals based on biological sex under certain circumstances.” The bill allows public and private entities to restrict access to certain spaces based on biological sex. Restaurants, gyms and whoever are free to segregate by sex-parts without fear of legal retribution by men … Read more
Education is a mess, and funding it is a mess. Costs are high, learning is low, and there are many ideas about what to do that don’t even begin to address the purpose of public education or its problems. Back in January, Ian and Jody Underwood joined me to talk about all things education, and … Read more

I have served the people of Grafton County as the register of deeds since 2011. It has been a rocky road, as I am outspoken and passionate about what I do for the people who have an interest in real property in this beautiful county. I also have far too much experience in handling bullies. … Read more
Where’s The Liberty In That? If you want to start a fight online in the Granite State, and probably your state too, pick a side on the so-called housing-crisis debate. It might be worse than mentioning abortion at whatever passes for your watercooler. Numerous factors have made housing expensive. Some say there is an inventory … Read more
Every time legislators propose ending New Hampshire’s annual auto inspection mandate, opponents allege that inspections are common in Northern states because cold weather hazards (road salt, frost heaves) make them necessary. In fact, most cold-weather states, like most states overall, don’t require annual auto inspections. Mapping the states that require annual inspections reveals that culture … Read more
