recently purchased Aaron Siri’s new book Vaccines, Amen. As I flipped through the pages, I noticed a section devoted to his now-famous deposition of Dr Stanley Plotkin, the “godfather” of vaccines. I’d seen viral clips circulating on social media, but I had never taken the time to read the full transcript — until now. Siri’s interrogation … Read more

I recall when then-President Barack Obama was planning to send troops to enforce his “Assad must go” policy in Syria, many Republican US Senators passionately argued that the US President must come to Congress for approval before sending US troops into combat overseas. At the time, they portrayed themselves as brave defenders of the US … Read more
Do you despise Trump? Do you hate the policies he enacts? Do you despise unconstitutional and illegal actions? Then you would much rather he were King than President. Americans are often misinformed about historical issues, and one issue that stands out above others is our misconceptions and confusion surrounding dictators, monarchs, and kings, as well … Read more
I have been a big advocate for decentralized power, which would allow diversity of opinion, practices, and so on, providing greater freedom as people could live with diverse policies. However, after the Civil War, America’s “one nation” ruins such choice, and replaces freedom with force, obligating everyone to follow the dictates of the center, controlled … Read more
Last week, New Hampshire’s “Free State Project” claimed to be the political heirs to Thomas Jefferson. Jason Sorens, the leader of the “Free State Project,” apparently believes that the “founding fathers” shared the same political philosophy. Aside from agreeing on independence, however, the “founding fathers” actually had very different political philosophies. George Washington and Alexander … Read more
Let us not fail to see the truth hiding behind Trump euphoria. God blessed humankind with Inherent, unalienable rights, including the right to control one’s health. Preceding the Declaration of Independence’s challenge to a despotic world, a decade later, it was reinforced with teeth essential to liberty: the Bill of Rights. Congress shall make no Law … Read more
Do schools have a right or an obligation to control a particular narrative on school grounds? Can they control what messages everyone can express on campus? What if it hurts someone’s feelings? What if it makes them uncomfortable? How much responsibility does the school have in controlling a particular message? What if the message is … Read more

According to data collected by the research firm Statista, 29 percent of Americans cannot afford to take a vacation this year. A vacation is not the only thing Americans are struggling to afford.

Surging child care prices have grabbed the media’s attention here in New Hampshire, and rightly so. The price of full-time care in a licensed center “jumped 48 percent between 2013 and 2023,” landing at nearly $32,000 a year, according to an analysis last year by the Carsey School of Public Policy at UNH. Child care prices … Read more
CARING CORRUPTED: THE KILLING NURSES OF THE THIRTIES from Nazi Germany enlightened my narrative of the COVID death march. This video, responding to my headlined OP-ED COVID CARNAGE, dated October 26, 2025, stirred deep thought about human nature’s desire to seek the most gain at the cost of the least amount of pain. Hitler’s master … Read more
[re: Patrick Hynes (Sununu can deliver GOP seat in the Senate, Union Leader, October 25)] John E. Sununu is the epitome of the Washington elite. I don’t care how many long-term Senators in D.C. have endorsed Sununu, some of whom are members of a particular bureaucratic institution known as “the swamp”. They stick like glue … Read more
After receiving the full ESSER I, II, and III expenditure files, I’ve completed a detailed and source-cited analysis of Nashua’s COVID-era funding, current fiscal management, and the broader demographic trends that have been repeatedly ignored. What emerges is a pattern of short-term financial decisions, politicized narratives, and resistance to data-driven planning that has left taxpayers … Read more
Scott Brown and John E. Sununu have something in common. They both appear to be deeply despised by factions of the eclectic New Hampshire Republican Party. More specifically, the libertarians who choose to run as Republicans (“Liberty Reps”) despise Brown, while MAGA-Republicans (populists) despise Sununu. Here is what a libertarian-influencer thinks of former Senator Brown: … Read more

The Brainwashed Sheeple of America think that the Constitution is our supreme law when it only applies to our public servants. The Preamble applies to We the People, but We the Brainwashed Sheeple do not understand this. The Preamble gives us the right to rewrite the entire Constitution any time we feel like it, with … Read more
First of all, I guarantee you that anyone calling for a civil war has never been in an armed conflict. Never experienced the death, grief, and misery that accompany armed conflict, particularly between civilians who were once neighbors. I got news for you, armchair commandos: it’s your loved ones who suffer and die in pain. … Read more
As the federal government shutdown threatens to halt food benefits next week, Governor Phil Scott said Monday that Vermont is prepared to join other states in suing the federal government if Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) payments stop after November 1.

If “Taxation is Theft,” then “Koch-Zoning” Is Theft” as well. Regular readers know what we mean by “Koch-zoning,” but for those new to our substack a brief definition. Koch-zoning refers to a gaggle of bills passed into law earlier this year in New Hampshire that replace local control of zoning with a one-size-fits-all State zoning … Read more
