In 2023, HB 44 was a defeated bill that threatened to turn certain single-family-zoned neighborhoods into rental nightmares. However, this year comes an even worse bill, HB 1291, to be heard by a House ‘Special’ Committee on Housing on February 16.
We Must Stop the Destruction of Western Progress and Culture
The mass immigration of 3rd world country populations into Western countries currently happening across the world has to stop and must be reversed.

Taxes, Inflation, Vacancies, and Shoplifting Becoming Too Hard To Bear

For the Children: Ban Flavored Tobacco, but Not Flavored Pot, Legalize Drug Dens (No Age Limits)
If you want to know why Vermont is in such terrible shape on so many fronts, it is because the people we have elected to make important decisions for us are totally unmoored from any rational approach to problem-solving. They are devoid of any guiding principle, barring an intense desire to get their hands on our money and spend it as they see fit, which is usually not in a fit way.
Night Cap: Transgenderism Madness
I just retired after 35 years of working in the human service field. I was appalled at the lack of truthfulness, informed consent, and irrational fear that was foisted upon citizens by the medical bureaucrats during the Covid pandemic years. Their many lies are coming to light with Lord Fauci, Patron Saint of Wuhan, merely the idolized figurehead.
The Strange Case of Alex Talcott
Not much makes sense in the homicide of GOP lawyer Alexander Talcott or the investigation and report on it from the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office. Following the money is always a good place to start.
Deceptive Political Advertising Complaint
To whom it may concern: On February 5, 2024, the news site “In Depth New Hampshire” (for whom I have a great deal of respect – so this is not leveled at them as I believe they were unaware) published a “News Release” entitled “What to do about teen dating violence.”
Congress Trusts, I Don’t. Do You?
Senator Rand Paul, in his talk, Deception: The Great Covid Cover-up, at Hillsdale’s College Washington campus, exposes many revelations of unknown nefarious facts about the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and their major role in initiating gain-of-function research at Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Night Cap: Haley’s Democrat Supporters Won’t Vote for Her in the General Election
My good friends, Don Bolduc and Rep. Bob Healey, recently got back-to-back coverage in the Union Leader simply because they espoused their ho-hum rhetoric against President Trump in favor of their friend Nikki Haley. Hey, I get it. We all want to showcase the good points of our favored candidate and disparage the “opposition.”
The Demise of the Electric Vehicle
The nation’s recent deep freeze stranded many expensive electric vehicles (EVs) with drained batteries, often in front of charging stations equally disabled by the cold. Warmer areas like California, where some 39% of EV car owners reside, do not abuse their batteries with the harsh seasonal winters that threaten many regions of the nation and … Read more
UK Daily Mail Can’t Find Anyone Who Knows Why Vermont is Such a Mess (They Should Have Asked Us)
The UK Daily Mail (Online) has a lengthy look at the public safety issues in Vermont. Rising overdose deaths and a murder spike have the experts reeling as they look for ways to turn things around. It’s a mystery to them – but not to us.
HB1002 – Charging fees for Right-to-Know Requests
HB1002 recently passed the House by about a dozen votes and now heads to the Senate for deliberations. This Bill permits municipalities to establish a policy to charge up to $25 per hour for requests that take over 10 hours to fill.
Carol McGuire: Your State House 2/6/24
This week, my committee continued with public hearings. HB 1292 allows state retirees to include adult children up to age 25 in their health insurance, whether or not they are students; this is the same as the employee plan and private health plans. Since the parents pay the full cost for their dependents, the committee … Read more
New ‘Study’ Extolling Greenie Redistribution Unwittingly Exposes Toxic Climate Cult
So-called “climate science” extends far beyond the traditional bounds of science built on facts and logic and is driven by emotions, amounting to essentially a religious cult masquerading as scientific discipline.
An Open Letter to Councilor Wheeler
Councilor Wheeler:
I am emailing you to go on record that I want you to reject the judge appointment of Belknap County Attorney Andrew Livernois. It is clearly another political favor of the Damn Emperor, just like many others, the most recent one being DJ Bettencourt.
Winter Cold Exploited to “Prove” Global Warming
Winter weather has become a harbinger of climate justice agitation. In the past, frigid snaps were exploited by eco-warriors to “prove” global warming, as climate scientists predicted colder extremes as part of global climate change. Actual science has now disproved that hackneyed assertion, so alarmists have pivoted from manipulating arctic blasts to “prove” global warming to discrediting … Read more

Hizzoner and the AG Disagree
On January 11, 2024, the AG’s office issued a Cease and Desist Order to Mayor Donchess for electioneering during the 2021 campaign. Electioneering is a criminal misdemeanor under RSA 659. That year, against the vote of the Board of Alderman, the Mayor led a ballot initiative to change how the police commissioners would be appointed.
