The Patch has a useful story today with details from the NH Attorney General’s Office. Holiday Scams are a problem, and they felt they should warn Granite Staters to be wary.

If you missed the memo, NH Bulletin is run by States Newsroom, a well-funded, national progressive project to advance approved narratives. It is a quasi-moderate Potemkin online village trying to shoehorn “right-thinking” Leftism into the collective consciousness. They are also a place to look for low-hanging fruit. Here’s the headline: “What’s next for abortion laws … Read more

The House voted today on their speaker for the next two years, and Sherm Packard will retain the gavel. Rep. Kim Rice had mounted a challenge to his leadership for some pretty good reasons, which I have learned. There’s no point in getting into that now, but Packard remains the speaker, and his leadership team … Read more
I have written several articles labeling the judicial-legal system as one that operates on connections: it’s about who you know, not what you know. A recent article on GraniteGrok by Andrew Cline, titled “Rising Up, Not Against Institutions, but Elitism,” highlights that citizens are not opposed to institutions themselves but rather to the elitism represented … Read more
The “Duty to Speak Up” was the theme of this month’s Safety Forum at the Manchester Veteran’s Affairs (VA) Medical Center. The people at the table seemed well-intentioned, but if you’ve read my previous series about what happens to whistleblowers at the VA, you know speaking up leads to an endless loop of broken promises, … Read more

Melinda “Mindy” Atwood, nominated for the position of New Hampshire state librarian by Gov.

In the United States and across the globe, a stark political divide has emerged not between left and right, but between outsiders and insiders. To a large extent, the 2024 election reflects an outsider revolt against elite misuse of institutions. Analysts and writers on both the left and the right have noticed this, though they … Read more
Every now and again, I wander over to one or the other of the local (college) student newspapers. These things are treasure troves of material, and it’s been a while since I did. With Thanksgiving on our doorstep, I went fishing for woke BS. I didn’t find any, which was disappointing. There were no Friendsgiving … Read more
Remember when Republican NH House Rep Shawn Jaspar made a deal with the Democrats to get the Speaker’s gavel? Not a Republican best-moment in House History. Well, guess what? Rep.

Most readers already know what I think of our lame duck Senate quietly rubber-stamping the RTK tax (HB 1002) and advancing it to the Corner Office without any in-chamber discussion or roll call, but I’m here to discuss more of the upper chamber’s subversive antics. First, let’s look at today’s article on Ruth Ward by … Read more
Nashua’s Mayor and the legal office have launched a full-scale attack on this citizen in response to my advocacy for transparency in the city. Their lack of transparency is evident in their attempts to shift 100% of the blame for the costs of Right-to-Know (RTK) cases and complaints onto the citizens, while denying any responsibility … Read more
