May 20 is just an ordinary day for most people, but not for Ms Melanie Levesque. It’s her birthday and I’m giving everyone early notice so they can plan ahead just like I have. No, I am not giving her a brand new pair of roller skates or a brand new key. I have something … Read more
Democrats keep finding the energy to get mad about everything, everywhere, all the time. They’re good at it, so this is like ‘Leg Day’ every day. The latest outrage is the neutering of AmeriCorps in its current form. Several states have sued, including Vermont, but one of my earliest “political” exposures to AmeriCorps was when … Read more
Dear Officials, I draw your attention to the statement in the link below, which claims that Justice Broderick is a “neutral” party.

While State Senator Mark McConkey is guilty of fiscal assault on motorists living or working in the most populated parts of the state.

Let’s be clear. This isn’t about preventing a family from converting their garage into a studio apartment for Granny so she doesn’t have to spend the rest of her life in assisted living or any other commonly used argument to gaslight people sounding the alarm on potential loss of local control. A few other scenarios … Read more

New Hampshire legislators have devised various schemes over the years to protect the logging industry from market forces. The latest scheme comes in House Bill 123, as amended. Promoted as “closing a loophole” in the state’s Timber Tax, HB 123 in fact creates a new tax on revenues generated from sales of carbon credits. The new … Read more
Billionaire (oligarch?) JB Pritzker was in New Hampshire to rile up the already easily triggered #NHDEMS-13. Pritzker, who needs only to wear a top hat to resemble the cartoonish fat cats of yesteryear, told those assembled that they need to continue being the sorts of troublemakers they’ve always been. Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker called … Read more

The proposed reduction in the biennial taxpayer bailout of the University System of New Hampshire (for our purposes, UNH) has the donkeys up in a snit. I can’t see why.

The bill is now in the Senate. By providing greater legal protections for patients and providers and incorporating common-sense enhancements, HB 701 promises real relief for terminally ill individuals desperately … Read more
Barring evidence to the contrary, we should assume that New Hampshire Dems are on board with the national movement to defend illegal alien gang members before actual Americans or Granite Staters.
