Imani: Texas Cannot Afford an Attorney General Who Won’t Fight

August 14, 2026 Amil Imani

Let’s be honest: following Ken Paxton is not a job for the faint of heart. For years, he took hit after hit from the left, from the media, and from the Austin establishment, and he still delivered victory after victory for Texas. He fought federal overreach in court and won. He fought the Biden administration … Read more

Texans Must Remain Resolute and Reelect Attorney General Ken Paxton

June 20, 2021 Amil Imani

Dear Attorney General Paxton, I remember well when you first announced your plan to run for the Attorney General of Texas in 2014. All your friends and family were happy, excited, and supportive. We all believed in your leadership, principles, brevity, and conservative values.

21 State Attorneys General Question Federal Overreach in Democrat “Rescue Bill” – NH is Not One of Them

March 18, 2021March 18, 2021 Steve MacDonald

One of the rotten Easter eggs buried in the 1.9 trillion-dollar Degenerate Democrat Spending Bailout bill (The American Rescue Plan Act) is a provision that could be interpreted to grant the Feds extortion power over tax cuts at the state level.

Biden’s Nominee for AG Says, It’s Not Domestic Terrorism If It Happens at Night

February 23, 2021

The more we see of Judge Garland, the less there is to like. Blocking his SCOTUS nomination was a very good thing because he claims that Antifa and Black Lives Matter attacks on federal courthouses are not domestic terrorism.

I Strongly Urge You to Refuse The Ill-Conceived and Undeserved Nomination of Gordon MacDonald to NH’s Highest Court.

January 21, 2021 Op-Ed

Governor Sununu, Members of the Executive Council, my name is Dr. David Strang. I am a partner in Central NH ER Associates. I am a former Chair of the EMS Coordinating Board for the State of NH.

Impeach Gordon MacDonald Too.

November 27, 2020 Ed Mosca

A few days ago, Skip posted about an effort to impeach Chris Sununu: My response is: What the hell is there to investigate? The GOP “leaders” of the House and Senate should simply tell Chris to end his junk-science state-of-emergency (the purpose of which is to promote and advance the Chris Sununu brand, not to … Read more

The (Arguably) Most Important Question in the Gubernatorial Race That Everyone is Ignoring

October 17, 2020 Ed Mosca

Do you remember the ConVal education funding lawsuit? From my post back in June of last year: So last week, a single Superior Court Judge decided he was the State’s Education-Czar and implicitly ordered -while, of course, claiming he was doing no such thing- the State to -at a minimum- triple spending on public education … Read more

THE FIX WAS IN: Attorney General Tanked SB3 Case – Judge Says No Proof of Domicile Needed to Vote in New Hampshire

April 9, 2020 Ed Mosca

This: Here is the link to the decision, which is a joke. If you want to see a liberal-activist judge ply his trade, give it a read. But all I think you need to know in order to know why it is once again legal for someone to show up in New Hampshire at a … Read more

24 Important Takeaways from Attorney General Barr on the FBI and FISA Abuse

December 19, 2019

Attorney General Barr had plenty to say about misconduct at the FBI. What they didn’t do, what they did (and shouldn’t), and what they should have done. Here are the highlights from a recent interview with the Epoch Times

Bet You Didn’t Hear This – New York’s Hinkey Climate Lawsuit Against Exxon has Been Dismissed

December 14, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Back in 2016, left-wing environmental groups and their wealthy donors teamed up with like-minded attorneys general. Together they formulated a plan. Use the force of law to silence dissent: Sue climate deniers. The bigger, the better.

New Hampshire Attorney General Undermining the Voter-Residency Requirement

September 23, 2019September 23, 2019 Ed Mosca

House Bill 1264, which became effective in July, made the act of voting in New Hampshire a declaration of residency in New Hampshire, triggering all the responsibilities that come with being a resident of New Hampshire. The New Hampshire Attorney General, however, seems intent on undermining House Bill 1264. The “Election Law Unit” issued advice … Read more

Say Hello to the Claremont Income Tax … and Thank You to our Wonderful Attorney General

June 16, 2019 Ed Mosca

So last week, a single Superior Court Judge decided he was the State’s Education-Czar and implicitly ordered -while, of course, claiming he was doing no such thing- the State to -at a minimum- triple spending on public education … which would require a massive expansion in spending by State government (at least an additional $1.6 … Read more

NY AG Eric Schneiderman (D) Quits After Four Women Accuse Him Of Assault

April 14, 2023May 8, 2018 Steve MacDonald

The guy who secretly colluded with anti-fossil-fuel activists to silence global warming skeptics and oil companies has another secret. Democrat New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has been accused of abusing women.

Governor Maggie Hassan Nominates Joseph Foster for N.H. Attorney General

September 26, 2018April 1, 2013 Steve MacDonald

Joseph Foster nominated for NH AG — Image Credit – New Hampshire Union Leader

I guess the good news is that Governor Hassan did not nominate gambling Lobbyist Lucy Hodder. Instead, the Union Leader reports today that Joseph Foster is her pick for NH Attorney General.

Foster is a former NH House rep 1994-1998, former State Senator from 2002 to 2008 (D- Nashua), in the employ of McLane law in Portsmouth. (I’ve never heard of him so I have culled a few things from the Internet– but feel free to add anything in comments we should know or explore moving forward.)

Here is a quick overview of his personal details and professional experience, and here is a link to his large dollar political donation history.

The only details we have of his political preferences, short of digging through his legislative voting record, are his Liberty Ratings from 2006 to 2008 and a Project Vote Smart political survey completed in 2004.

State Senator Joseph Foster’s Liberty ratings…2006 D+, 2007 D, 2008 – Constitutional threat. (Well, isn’t that promising?) Oh, and it does look like Foster has experience as a lobbyist, I’m just not sure representing whom exactly.

The complete Project Vote Survey is on the jump.

Rules of Misconduct and Conflicts of Interest

September 26, 2018March 30, 2013 Steve MacDonald

On the matter of Governor Hassan considering Gambling Lobbyist Lucy Hodder as her next Attorney General, the indispensable Ed Mosca provides more fuel for that fire.

How would it not be a violation of at least the spirit of Professional Rule of Misconduct 1.11 for Hodder to be involved with Millennium Gambling as AG; as I read it the spirit of the rule suggests she shouldn’t even be involved as Hassan’s counsel:

(d) Except as law may otherwise expressly permit, a lawyer currently serving as a public officer or employee:
…
(2) shall not:
a. participate in a matter in which the lawyer participated personally and substantially while in private practice or nongovernmental employment, unless the appropriate government agency gives its informed consent, confirmed in writing; or
