HOWARD PEARL VOTED FOR A PAINT TAX. He was also the 5th R vote, therefore arguably the one responsible for its advancement because 8+5=13. Read that again if he’s YOUR senator. I put those words in all caps because he’s MY senator and I am adding today’s HB451 roll call to Howard’s senatorial rap sheet. … Read more

New Hampshire Public Radio hasn’t vanished yet, so it appears there is an audience willing to support it. That’s how it should be.

Republicans will try again to … Read more
There has been no accountability in New Hampshire for the cover-up of corrupt police officers by the Attorney General’s Office.

I stumbled across a post on Facebook about trans propaganda that was shared with students as young as 11 at a Nashua, New Hampshire middle school.

Unsurprisingly, meaningful corrective provisions for due process, appeals, and redress options are notably absent in … Read more
Let’s call a spade a spade and recognize SB406 for what it is, an urban blue senator’s effort to flip a neighboring red district. However, its selling points to the Senate Finance Committee when Rosenwald (a member) introduces it to her peers at the January 13 hearing will be all about removing the Daniel Webster … Read more
In the previous six articles, I outlined the history and evolution of the judiciary in New Hampshire. In the last article, I covered how the 1968 BAR merger subverted New Hampshire’s legislative will and entrenched judicial corruption. Therefore, it begs the question: Were these changes to our judiciary a series of unintended consequences (a lawful … Read more

The Democratic Socialists around the country are feeling their oats! Mamdani’s mayoral win in New York and Katie Wilson’s in Seattle are sparking speculation that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could emerge as the Democrats’ presidential nominee in 2028.

Now that many towns have held their March meetings, I am seeing posts from shocked taxpayers who wonder how anyone could have voted to take away their right to live in a single-family-zoned neighborhood.
