You won’t have had any trouble finding a suitable amount of justified outrage over Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signing the death-at-birth warrant, doing business as the Orwellian-sounding “Prioritizing Patient Access to Care Act.” Prioritizing what? I remember when babies were patients, especially in the third trimester, when they are more than capable of surviving outside … Read more
Nashua taxpayers deserve full transparency, accuracy, and candor from their elected officials. Recent developments, however, raise serious concerns about how Mayor Jim Donchess and the Board of Aldermen are managing the City’s finances, and how residents are being informed about those decisions. The FY2026 budget initially presented to residents totaled $474,895,381. Yet the City now … Read more
The dangerously flawed structure of the New Hampshire judiciary, administrative offices of the court, judicial conduct committee, and attorney disciplinary office is finally being exposed. TL;DR: It is well past time for this, especially when we find out that a State Police Officer involved in digital investigations has been covered up for five years for … Read more
Loyalty within municipal government often carries a cost, and Nashua taxpayers are paying it without knowing how much. A review of Nashua’s payroll shows that municipal salaries are significantly higher than both the New Hampshire state average and national benchmarks. In 2024 payroll data, the average salary for City of Nashua employees is $84,948, which … Read more
Citing 1850 Constitutional Record Unavailable to the Claremont Courts.

I fired up (no pun intended) the computer this morning to be met with horrible WMUR headlines. Beanie’s is on fire. Think of when you (and everyone you know) learned that Notre Dame was on fire. Not only is Beanie’s a Loudon community pillar, but they deserve everyone’s support, whether we’re Loudon locals or not. … Read more
In an August 5th missive to parents of students at John Stark High School, Principal Gary Dempsey outlined some curriculum changes. Sadly, most Engineering courses have been canceled. These include Welding, Small Engines, and all Physics courses. A local source tells me that the teacher quit for better pay in another district, and that Administration … Read more
When a young man who you know and work with praises China, socialism, and Mamdani while claiming to defend women’s rights, the contradictions expose a deeper problem: a generation raised on slogans instead of history, economics, and consistency. It started innocently enough. A casual after-work, workplace chat with an articulate young man and a friend … Read more
As small farmers who produce livestock get more squeezed out of the retail market, at least one state is leading a charge against federal government overreach: New Hampshire. Yes, “Live Free or Die.” That state, bless ’em. The legislature passed a bill, HB396, that allows 3 beef, 5 hogs, and 10 goats and sheep to be slaughtered on-farm … Read more
It’s amazing the things you don’t know, not that I needed to or care, but there have been weekly protests around the Monadnock region in opposition to ICE enforcing federal law, and no one seems to have asked them about “no one being above the law”? That’s NH Media for you. The Left hands you … Read more

Stop what you are doing and contact your legislators today. Why? Farm and food freedom, that’s why. HB396 is a simple, common-sense bill the governor vetoed, and we have an excellent chance of overturning it. You’ll remember that Governor Ayotte vetoed HB396, the Food Freedom Act, which would let NH farmers sell meat they slaughter and … Read more
Are you familiar with Thorstein Veblen? I guess some background is in order because a family member made a casual reference to him several years ago, and I had never heard of him. He said Veblen was known for his 1899 book titled The Theory of the Leisure Class. The genesis of the conversation was … Read more
Planned Parenthood New Hampshire Action Fund bragged on their Facebook page that Salem, NH, Republican Rep. Susan Vandecasteele received a 100% rating for her support of “reproductive health.” She is the only Republican to receive that rating on PP’s 2026 NH House scorecard. NH Republican reps Dale Girard and Matthew Coker both received a score … Read more
Wednesday is Veto Day at the State House — and September 8 is just 25 days away.

I will start by saying some kind words about a former FB friend, Comrade Ellen McDowell Ruggles. She’s a friendly older woman that I’ve crossed paths with in social circles of mutual interest, particularly hiking and paddling. Sadly, I found it in my best interest to cut ties with most of my fellow paddlers and … Read more
On July 3, I was manning an information table at Manchester, NH’s Independence Day Celebration. We had hundreds of attendees visit our table. One of the items of interest on our table was a firing replica colonial-era musket. Many of the visitors asked to be photographed holding the musket, which we were happy to do. … Read more
