MACDONALD: Grow a Set

Woodstock, Vermont, is a hotbed of anti-gay hate crimes. Actually, it’s not. But someone spray-painted a “Gay slur” on retired Police Chief Joe Swanson’s mailbox. Joe is married to Nicholas “Nico” Seldon. The “Chief” was also involved in a demotion kerfuffle that required judicial intervention. The case is not, however, being investigated as simple vandalism … Read more

MACDONALD: AG Claims Civil Rights Win He Doesn’t Deserve

To be fair, this isn’t the first example in which AG John Formella got the Judicial system to agree with his disastrous interpretation of New Hampshire’s Civil Rights Act. Frank Hobbs took his “feelings” out on someone’s pride sign, and the State decided it was a hate crime. There’s no such thing, but if Judges … Read more

MACDONALD: Are You Gay Enough for California?

The Left Coast Lunatics are setting a new standard for bureaucratic red tape. Rainbow colored tape, actually. The State has a program that awards energy “supplier-diversity benefits,” which has been expanded to encourage the energy sector to award contracts to gay businesses. By 2022, CPUC had fully implemented the expansion. In practice, this meant establishing … Read more

MACDONALD: Will Ayotte Sign This One?

Republican Governors in New Hampshire like to veto bills that have anything to do with men in women’s safe spaces unless it’s to pass a law allowing it. That was Chris Sununu. HB1319. A bill we were more or less told he’d never sign. Three years later, Sununu would be crowned the Sun-King for his … Read more

MACDONALD: A Few Thoughts on the Concord PD (Pronoun Department) And the AG’s Civil Rights “Itch”

The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office has been desperately trying to scratch an itch it can’t quite seem to reach—a high-profile case it could use, at least in my estimation, to leverage civil rights law to suppress protected speech. Create a hate speech exception, tied to state civil rights law, and let the Orwellian pall … Read more

Klar: Sparks Fly in Harvard v. Trump Legal Face-off

A courtroom battle between the president and Harvard University has reached a dramatic apex. The Trump administration seeks to terminate potentially billions of dollars in federal grants to Harvard University, which has, in turn, sued to compel the government to pay. Massachusetts US District Court Judge Allison D. Burroughs has signaled that she is unimpressed … Read more

Rocky Mountain ‘Hi, We’re Here to Take Your Children’

The idea that the state does not control children is offensive to at least one of the two political parties. That would be the one that controls public education through unions whose primary responsibility is self-enrichment through dues from teachers, money they then lavish on candidates who will do anything to protect that monopoly. Students … Read more

Is NH’s AG Chasing Another Bogus Civil Rights Case?

New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella might be a great guy to watch the game with or drink a beer. Maybe he plays an instrument (wasn’t everyone in New England in a garage band at least once?). Decent singing voice? Donates to puppy rescue shelters? Hands out sandwiches at homeless camps. I have no clue, … Read more

AGs Bell Rung Hard By High Court In Civil Rights Case

A few years ago, I led with this headline: “If NH AG Pushes Civil Rights “Case” Against White Nationalists, He’s Going to Lose.” The case John Formella’s office brought, former governor Sununus’ AG, was a civil rights violation case against a White Supremacy Group. NSC 131 displayed a banner on a bridge over Route 95. … Read more

The State’s War Against Hate

In Against the State, Lew Rockwell explains how the constant expansion of state power is often justified as a necessary means of achieving the dreams and visions of voters. In its relentless pursuit of power, the state has a strong incentive to focus on the problems that are likely to resonate most deeply with voters and, … Read more

Pearl Harbor

The reality of Dec 7, 1941, is 2,403 military men growing up during the depression lost their lives for a mere salary of 36 bucks a month. For loved ones, the memory of their loss still deeply hurts on this 81st Anniversary of Pearl Harbor and the war it triggered.

The Colossal Stupidity of the Nashua Legal Office

The Nashua Legal office is in need of a major overhaul. Like the Assessing Office, the Mayor has promoted incompetent leadership and lawyers who disregard citizens’ rights and ignore their professional conduct codes. Who are the major offenders? Attorney Bolton and Attorney Leonard.
