The Government Need Not Subsidize Constitutional Rights To Avoid Infringing Them

May 8, 2025 Steve MacDonald

More Nashua Mayoral Malfeasance?

November 21, 2024November 21, 2024 Laurie Ortolano

Contracted legal fee agreements are approved by the Mayor and require no approval of the Board of Aldermen (BOA).

Trump Won More Than Just the White House

November 18, 2024 John Klar

The federal prosecution against former (and now future) President Donald Trump were extinguished on election night, 2024.

NH Mayor: No “Free Speech” On His Flagpole!

October 11, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Democrat Mayor Jim Donchess of Nashua has changed the city’s policy regarding the flagpoles in front of city hall.

A Sneak Peek At What Marcy Kelley May Have Invited Upon Bow Taxpayers

October 4, 2024October 4, 2024 Steve MacDonald

The Bow-Dunbarton School district has a liberal privilege problem. For the unfamiliar, Liberal Privilege is a lot like radical Islam.

Here are a few … Read more

Nashua Sued in Federal Court for Viewpoint Discrimination

September 7, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Regular readers will know that the Donchess regime in Nashua is very selective about the flags it allows on the citizen’s pole—almost, dare I say, partisan in its rejection.

Utah Wants Its Land Back From The Feds

August 27, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Every few years, we get a spike in stories about how the Federal Government controls vast swathes of land in supposedly sovereign states.

Utah’s lawsuit contends that the Bureau of Land … Read more

August 13, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Forty years ago, give or take, the State of Maine created a program whose purpose was to create a slush fund to provide legal services to people who could not afford them.

Another Shopping Trip for NH Attorneys

September 20, 2024August 1, 2024 Claire Best

There is concern about the shortfall in funds needed for the complainants of YDC sexual abuse.

“Please, Sue Us!”

July 27, 2024 Rob Roper

We Need An Adult To Intervene In New York

March 21, 2024 Ray Cardello

We need someone to step up in New York City to end this childish play for attention by corrupt, power-hungry State Attorney General Letitia James and the cartoon figure Judge Arthur Engoron.

February 6, 2024 Steve MacDonald
