MACDONALD: Dems Just Wanna Get Sued

I’m sorry, but I can’t help myself. Democrats dropped a photo of Trump with a bunch of adult women, blocked out their faces, then accused him of getting “caught” in an Epstein photo dump with underage girls. You’ll probably know the details by now—adult women. No Epstein. And Mr. Trump was reported to be a … Read more

Recourse Against Local Tyrants?

At a recent celebration of the Pine Tree Riot in Weare, some of the chat turned to the question of what recourse does a citizen have when government actors (“officials”??) infringe on a person’s constitutional rights based upon a claim of a violation of a statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage.

More Nashua Mayoral Malfeasance?

Contracted legal fee agreements are approved by the Mayor and require no approval of the Board of Aldermen (BOA). The purchasing policy does not require the Finance Committee or Board of Aldermen to approve legal services above $25,000.

Trump Won More Than Just the White House

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

Democrat Mayor Jim Donchess of Nashua has changed the city’s policy regarding the flagpoles in front of city hall. Where they were once willing to allow the public to petition to fly a flag, that policy is no longer. The city will fly the flags it likes, and that’s the end of it. We predicted … Read more

Nashua Sued in Federal Court for Viewpoint Discrimination

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. Most recently, Stephen and Beth Scaer (who both write for GraniteGrok) asked the city to fly the de-trans flag. It was rejected, and an appeal to … Read more

Utah Wants Its Land Back From The Feds

Every few years, we get a spike in stories about how the Federal Government controls vast swathes of land in supposedly sovereign states. This control, exerted as part of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, prevents states from utilizing their own land, and Utah has had enough of that. Utah’s lawsuit contends that the Bureau of Land … Read more

“Please, Sue Us!”

Of course, we knew this was coming. In fact, they told us so. It was one of the very first Behind the Lines stories back on January 30, 2023 (I started this column on January 11th of that year) that shared the video clip of The Conservation Law Foundation’s Chase Whiting testifying to the Senate Committee on Natural … Read more

We Need An Adult To Intervene In New York

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. This mockery of justice has gone on too long and is now a threat to future businesses operating in New York or even this country.
