I am what’s called today a “baby boomer.” I suppose the younger crowd might call me a dinosaur. Born shortly after WWII, I grew up in a country vastly different from the one we live in today. After our war-weary nation helped defeat the Nazis and fascists, we embarked on another war, a Cold War … Read more
Who could ever get tired of kicking this dead donkey? Not me. The DSA has created what Obama’s team would describe as permission structures. By winning a handful of primaries, it’s okay to talk about, lean into, condone, even endorse…communism. How do you think that plays out in state and federal legislatures in 27-28 if … Read more
It’s that time of the month. My appearance on WFEA’s Morning Update with Jeff Chidester. This week, we start with campaign commercials, specifically the dueling montage directed at the open U.S. Senate seat in New Hampshire. Jeff and Steve kick off the segment by dissecting the latest wave of Senate race attack ads aimed at … Read more
Six weeks. Forty-two Days. A blink of the eye until America decides its future course. That is not sensationalism or hyperbole. Never before has America been faced with a choice to continue as a Constitutional Republic or throw in the white flag and wander down the path to Socialism. We have had radical candidates before, … Read more
Democrats are afraid of Muslims. They will give them whatever they ask for. Democrats are afraid of the DSA and will give them whatever they ask for. And the Islamists are increasingly embracing socialism as the fast-track to taking over the Democrat Party. Neither Islam nor Democrat-Socialism is good for you, America, liberty, natural rights, … Read more
Here is the fact that swallows the rest of the argument. No voting machine in any New Hampshire town hall has been examined to see whether it can reach the internet. RSA 656:42, X is not a suggestion. It says no electronic ballot counting device shall have access to or be connected to the Internet. … Read more
New Hampshire Republicans promised Granite Staters last week that they would keep working to make their lives easier. Democrats will keep hating Trump Republicans and anyone who disagrees with them. They will continue to obstruct federal agents from enforcing actual laws, to go after their political enemies (that includes you), allow criminals to walk your … Read more
Fraud news keeps dropping at a fevered pace as everyone from state legislators to burrito-stand hospice fraudsters are indicted and arrested for every possible type of theft of taxpayer largesse. You can keep sending me the memes that simply say no one is getting arrested, but I’m not posting them. Lots of people, mostly Democrats, … Read more
There’s a line from the original DIE HARD movie- lots of them, truly- but this one popped into my head when I heard the news that the New Hampshire State Supreme Court Chief Justice resigned (after a fake medical leave). “We’re gonna need some more FBI guys, I guess.” New Hampshire’s judicial system could use … Read more
Have you ever attended a committee hearing with a large turnout? Whether or not the committee chair is a pleasant one, it’s common to hear the chair saying words like, “if someone else has already said your talking point, we don’t need to hear it again; please save all of us some time,” as people … Read more
Letting transient voters have a say in matters with long-term consequences is an injustice. The Democratic Party wouldn’t let 500 republicans in to vote at their annual convention and then just live with the results. No organization would. They could replace officers, alter the charter or bylaws, and, in the case of a contested matter … Read more
Watching the left lose its hive mind over Trump’s $5000.00 midterm convention “election bribe” is not just predictable but hilarious. We have no idea what he means, where it might come from, how it might manifest, or whether he’s serious. A check, a tax rebate or credit, an in-pocket real-world benefit courtesy of the invisible … Read more
I know many are still swallowing Tuesday night’s election results. I’m here to tell you all hope is not lost. Many of you may not know that I advanced to the November 3rd General Election for the U.S. Senate under the Constitution Party of NH. Because let’s face it, WMUR, NPR, and the New Hampshire … Read more
I moved to New Hampshire from Massachusetts 45 years ago because the Granite State was a solid red state then and more aligned with my conservative beliefs. The state has evolved, like so many red states have, to purple and even blue as people move in for a better quality of life. Many of these … Read more

The flock situation has certainly gotten out of hand in both directions. The deployment and abuse, as well as the reaction to both. But it can’t be all that surprising. Most of this activity occurs at the municipal level, and 70% of voters are inclined to let 25-30% decide everything. Guess why your taxes suck, … Read more
Unfinished certification, no parts list, and a Secretary of State who programs, verifies, audits, and clerks the review The New Hampshire Ballot Law Commission meets Thursday, September 17, at 1:00 p.m. at the State Archives Building, 9 Ratification Way, Concord. The public should be there. The Commission approves the machines that count our paper ballots. … Read more
The White House has prioritized budget-cutting and rooting out waste since the earliest days of Trump 2.0. Some people have alleged that elected Democrats are associated with rampant fraud in numerous federal agencies, often connected to illegal immigrants. As the midterm election season looms in America’s fractious political climate, some Democratic candidates may encounter a … Read more
During the past election cycle, I had the pleasure of meeting Matt one-on-one during my run for Speaker of the House. We talked at Wally’s in Hampton Beach during a Hampton Republican Committee fundraising event. From the beginning, I recognized Matt was a very respectful man, with conviction in his principles. He was also one … Read more

Janoo, who narrowly defeated Aly Richards for the Democratic nomination for governor, received the Progressive Party’s endorsement despite running as a Democrat. She will … Read more
