Before beginning a discussion of ethics in municipal government, we must understand what ethics entails. Ethics, by definition, is the discipline dealing with what is good and bad: a set of moral principles or values, the principles of conduct governing an individual or a group, a guiding philosophy based on right and wrong.

Democrat Cinde Warmington’s Huge Conflict of Interest “Problem”
With His Excellency retiring from the governor’s office, New Hampshire Democrats are hoping this is their opportunity to take the office back. Before Sununu, they’d had a lock on it for many years, except for the Craig Benson hiccup (one two-year term).
DCYF – So When You Demand That I Do Something Illegal, I’ll Make It Public.
Because that’s what I do. Heck, and it isn’t just singling out that agency – I am a universal hater of folks that either 1) don’t follow their own policies (hmm, I have another set of RTKs to follow up on), or 2) deliberately don’t Follow The Law. It’s just isn’t DCYF – they’re just … Read more
“This Is a War about the Role of Government”
You might remember Dr. Julie Ponesse. She is a professor of ethics in Canada who had a viral video last fall. She was forced out of her job of 20 years by the vaccine mandate imposed by Huron University in Ontario.
Hon. Linda Rea Camarota, RN – We Have Been Robbed of Scientific Debate
What is natural immunity? As a child, did you have chickenpox? If you did as I did, there is no fear of another chickenpox viral infection. Granted, SARS-Cov-2 (Severe acute respiratory syndrome) is not a naturally occurring virus so not all established infectious disease practices apply.
A Professor of Ethics on The Ethical Dilemma of Employer Mandated Vaccination …
Ethics professor Dr. Julie Ponesse, days before classes start, was given an ultimatum. Get vaccinated or do not report for work. And today she is going to teach us “on the universally accepted ethics of coercing people into medical procedures.:
SAU16/Exeter: A Culture of Discrimination, Intimidation and Civil Rights Violations
After attending both school board meetings in SAU16 this week, one thing is obvious; there is a toxic culture within the walls of this school district. A culture that needs change immediately.
How Did Five Different News Outlets “Independently” Source The Same Lie about Trump and the Nov. Election?
Hats off to Matt Margolis at PJ Media from whose text I lifted my headline because it says it all. Yesterday we reminded you that WashPO made up the story about President Trump pressuring the Michigan Secretary of State. The same is true for the Georgia story.
Do Morals and Ethics Shape Policy?
Have you ever heard a politician say, “In the next election I will support whatever policies the polls tell me are most likely to get me elected”? Think about it for just a second. I bet you haven’t. If a candidate did say something like that, wouldn’t you find it distasteful? It would exhibit a lack of character.
Who Understands Islam?
Who understands Islam and where should information about Islam come from? A common error made about Islam in progressive society is: You cannot read the Koran and understand it. Oddly, both Muslims and Kafirs (non-muslims) seem to accept the assertion, most without questioning it.
Petition to Stop Hateful, Bigoted Nashua Rep from Being Censured
You may recall a recent post in which NH House Representative Deb Stevens (Nashua) was outed for her hatred, vitriol and bigotry towards Trump supporters. In case you missed her post on her public, official NH Representative page: Well, it seems many people across the state, and not just in her district, saw this outrageous … Read more
Did Democrat Majority Decide Doug Ley is Too Stupid to be Found Guilty of Ethics Violations?
In keeping with New Hampshire House Democrat ‘discipline’ of House Democrats, Majority Leader Douglas Ley just walked away from a significant ethics violation without a scratch.
Andrew Gillum for Veep?
Florida is a must win for Democrats in 2020, no doubt. Without Florida, it’s hard to see a path to victory. So, it stands to reason that the presumptive Democrat nominee, Elizabeth Warren, would be trying to court Andrew Gillum, which was reported earlier by the Daily Beast. Gillum lost to Republican Governor Ron Desantis … Read more
Protect Parental Rights and Student Privacy: Oppose Senate Bill 196
What is SB 196? This bill deals with administration of non-academic surveys by public schools to students. The bill changes the requirements of school district policies governing the administration of non-academic surveys and questionnaires. It removes informed written parental consent. It does this by changing the requirement from opt in to opt out. Currently for … Read more
Data Point – On Ethics: telemarketers breathing a sigh of relief
Just like Jimmy Carter after Obama’s Presidency; telemarketers are SO happy to have Congress around: (H/T: Gallup)
So Dan Eaton wishes to “To restore transparency, civility and fairness to the institution”. Fine – how about Ethics, Dan?
The Sentinel asked why Democrat Dan Eaton, who resigned from the NH House due to ethics charges, why he was running. Well, the guy seems to have a pair (if nothing else): “To restore transparency, civility and fairness to the institution“
Riiiiiiight. If I remember right, he resigned when he became under an investigation of a “lapse in ethics” – does this mean he’ll be “transparent” as to the charges AND why he resigned? And the stories are that he wasn’t all that civil about things, either. So, what IS fairness, Mr. Dan? And why now is a better time for you to be back in the NH House, again, now that you are a “resignee”? A mailer that went out to folks in that area was forwarded to me (note: you HAVE to like the name of the PAC – “the “Do You Know Who I AM” PAC. And that’s his brother, the Chair??):
Well, seems like Dan might have been the bad boy, eh? The PAC goes on to list the Top 5 Reasons To REJECT Dan Eaton for State Representative:
Socialism’s Assault on Religion vs. Industry as Virtue
The Marxist/secularist assault on religion is well documented and continues today on many fronts. But one of the reasons for attacking Religion in the first place, is that the foundations of the Puritan/Protestant faith–in America at least–never viewed material success as an obstacle to spiritual salvation. In fact they encouraged it.
To The Editor…
Carol Shea-Porter has abrogated her constitutional responsibilities, done everything in her power to destroy New Hampshire’s right to State sovereignty, refused to fulfill her duty to propose a new federal budget for political reasons, accepted money from admitted socialists in the government, increased the federal deficit to 3.5 trillion dollars, added tens of trillions more … Read more
Hodespocrisy–The Menendez Chronicles
Being as concerned as they are about ethics and corruption (over at the offices of the New Hampshire Democrat Party) you’d think Paul ‘Jersey’ Hodes would have refused that $10,000.00 campaign contribution from Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ). Menendez is a long time benefactor of corrupt SEC violator Goldman Sachs (see below) and being from Jersey’s most corrupt Hudson county Menendez has been linked to any number of ethical "misunderstandings" throughout his career.
What kind of misunderstandings you ask?
