I’ve lost track of how many years it has been since we began banging the drum for more Natural Gas (NG) or even LNG in the Northeast. The need has been obvious and, at times, severe, and even ISO New England, the grand Vizier overseeing the declining grid mix, knows that without reliable energy, everything from … Read more
When it comes to the unaffordable climate change policies being pushed on Vermonters by the Democrat majority in the State House, the Clean Heat Standard for the home heating sector has received all the attention for the past couple of years, but heat only represents about 40 percent of the state’s greenhouse gas emissions. The … Read more
Londonderry NH on Facebook Shuts Down (two weeks before town elections) With only weeks to go before residents flock to the polls to pick their local elected representatives for the largest Facebook group featuring Londonderry town interests, it has gone dark. According to Londonderry Underground, it started when the admins appeared to be removing content … Read more
What’s to be done? Parents are distraught, school district budgets and property taxes are skyrocketing, and there’s bullying and declining academic outcomes in public schools. State legislators shrug their shoulders. They don’t know what to do. Most of them don’t even think they’re responsible for the mess. It “just happened.” But the problem is “so … Read more

The Issue I told Judge Hall that my daughter could end up the next Harmony Montgomery and she responded “I don’t care!” This was on March 20, 2024 — she gave my/our abuser sole custody. A “fair trial” is laughable. Circuit Court Judge Polly Hall in presiding over my pending divorce and parenting proceeding, and … Read more
Maine has not lost its way. Maine has lost its collective mind. I am speaking of the Democrats in Maine, but they are the ruling party today, and it was the voters of Maine that gave them the power to manipulate and control the state. Unless you reside under a rock, you must know how … Read more
New Hampshire is taking another shot at state-supervised suicide (HB 254), and I admit to not having paid nearly enough attention this time around. It is true that we can’t cover every bill or focus on what may be important to you or your group, but I’ve written extensively on the pitfalls of what the … Read more
“First in the Nation” One thing I learned living in Uruguay in the 1980s — after the fall of the CIA-backed military dictatorship — is that the agency likes small countries where it can operate through a local tight-knit familial network. Torture and clandestine activities, in the right, trusted hands, are “as American as apple pie.” … Read more

He’ll discuss the lack of teeth in New Hampshire’s laws, Parental rights, girls’ sports, and recognizing biological sex.

Rebuttal to Steven Gordon: The state isn’t welcome in my deathbed Like Steven Gordon, I spent almost five hours at the State House earlier this month listening to testimony supporting and opposing HB 254. Two of my three children who have experienced suicidal ideation testified. Supporters like Steve call this bill “the End of Life … Read more
It’s been 23 days since we first published our article on the (apparently) missing $169,000 from the Committee to Elect House Republican PAC (CTEHR). It has been 71 days since whistleblowers reported filing complaints about the mis-reporting. As a reminder, the PAC is Chaired by Majority Leader Jason Osborne, its Treasurer (or TINO, Treasurer in … Read more
So, Governor Ayotte is moving us down the road towards universal eligibility for Education Freedom Accounts (EFAs). Awesome! Now what will she do to move us towards universal eligibility for food stamps, and heating oil subsidies, and housing assistance? While I don’t need any of those subsidies, I would certainly like to have them. And … Read more
There was a miscommunication on our end. RSU did have an episode this week; we just didn’t get it in time to publish on schedule. This Week: “We discuss numerous bills that don’t address Vermont’s problems and bid farewell to Bill.” Please like, follow, or subscribe to The ‘Grok on Rumble and YouTube and check for Replays of Granite … Read more
Note: I just went to the Gilford School Board Meeting Minutes folder and discovered that the Meeting Minutes from the Feb 3rd meeting are missing. Why? It’s now 19 days later. And the School Board made some consequential policy changes due to a “Dear Colleague” letter that Superintendent Beitler received just before that meeting. They … Read more
For four years, millions of illegal and unvetted people came from all over the globe to our southern border that Biden had replaced with a welcome mat. These illegal migrants (they became illegal the moment they crossed the Rio Grande and violated our sovereignty) are not all bad people, but they tried to come to … Read more

This week, my committee continued public hearings. HB 694, requiring leases by state agencies be at fair market value, looked extremely simple, but the hearing proved otherwise. The problem some counties are facing is that the state rents courthouses and other facilities from them at very low rates, so that the counties are left to … Read more
Remember, Beitler is the guy that I fought to denature as is also championed Policy JBAB (“Transgender and Non-Confirming”) because it gives special “Rights” to a very small minority of youth over all other Normal students AND adults. He also has now decided to champion the newly announced “Prism” student club by Gilford High School … Read more
The American Prohibition Museum is not in Chicago but tucked into an old brick building in Savannah, Ga., just off Congress Street. A $29.91 ticket to the museum comes with a drink at the adjacent speakeasy. In most American cities, that would be a perfect finish to a trip through the Prohibition era. Not in … Read more
