From the moment the New Hampshire State Board of Education voted to adopt the Common Core Math Standards in 2010, I knew it would be a disaster. Fourteen years later, we see the proof.

With Rand Paul’s birthday coming up on January 7, the day before the New Hampshire House meets next, it’s a good time to call attention to someone exactly 9 years older and perhaps the polar opposite.

On Monday, a young woman from New Hampshire was featured prominently in a front-page Wall Street Journal story. She didn’t found a company or create a valuable new product.

Numerous mainstream media outlets are deliberately lying to American parents about the law regarding COVID-19 vaccines.

You can call it the ‘Michael Reynolds Law,’ after the Burlington-area transient with more than 1600 police interactions since 2012 and still going strong this month with reported abusive, disruptive, threatening behavior.

The Democrat party, exemplified by those fighting to ruin New Hampshire and make it less than the worst of the New England States, has an image problem. Its most recent standard-bearer stood for nothing or, at best, whatever Biden was, which wasn’t good. Funding Foreign wars that kill tens of thousands to “create” good-paying American … Read more
