Most underestimate school expendituresOPINION: A supermajority of New Hampshire voters wants property tax relief to come from local spending restraint, not from higher aid, finds a new Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy poll conducted by the St. Anselm College Survey Center. State House and Senate candidates in both major political parties are promising to … Read more
The Dems are playing with fire, and it might be a pleasure to see it burn them. Everyone’s favorite moderate Trotskyite, Abigail Spanberger, signed legislation adding Virginia to the Electoral College Compact, so she is now free to focus on other goals, like securing passage of the dog-walking tax now pending in her Democrat-dominated legislature. … Read more
Did you know that New Hampshire loses 2,500-3,000 children to elective abortion each year? Nationwide, it’s over a million. This has not only contributed to our school enrollment decline, but also reflects the injustice of an industry that profits from cutting short unmistakably human lives while endangering the lives of women. This is at a … Read more
How to Bring Down an Empire “Empires, by Pride & Folly & Extravagance, ruin themselves like Individuals” Benjamin Franklin knew the pattern all through history: Collapse is self-inflicted. In 1773, he wrote a masterpiece of biting satire detailing 20 rules for how a great empire destroys itself from within. The formula is simple: make the … Read more
Is President Trump a “Threat to Democracy” or a “Threat to the Democratic Party”? Two very different perspectives. Both depend on which news outlets, social media, and family/friends you trust. It’s no different than the American Civil War. Southern states were run by Democrats, “trusted” politicians who supported slavery. Northern states run by Republicans did … Read more
What hit me immediately after reading “Here’s how much income you need to be in the top 1% in every state” was that the states with the highest top incomes (i.e., greater than $900K/year) were run by Democrats. They included California, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Massachusetts (i.e., the bluest of the blue states). … Read more
“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, it expects what never was and never will be.” Thomas Jefferson understood what most people ignore today: Freedom demands a price: knowledge. Tyrants across history have weaponized ignorance for one reason: educated people argue. Ignorant people obey. They play whack-a-mole with control: When one tactic fails, … Read more
An oath of office is a promise to the public. New Hampshire law requires town officers to take that promise seriously. Under RSA 42:1, violating an oath can lead to removal; RSA 42:1-a specifies a petition to the county Superior Court. Those provisions demand evidence and due process—not accusations mistaken for verdicts. I believe Ossipee’s … Read more
Brownstone Inst. The month was January 2021, only a few weeks into the mass rollout of the injection called a vaccine. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had outsourced its collection of data from the VAERS system – designed to monitor vaccine safety – to General Dynamics Information Technology. GDIT wrote the CDC a … Read more
“A monarchy, or a corrupt, tyrannical aristocracy” That’s what George Mason predicted we’d get under the Constitution. And he was far from alone. The Anti-Federalists repeatedly warned that the Constitution wouldn’t actually create a federal union. Instead, they argued, it would result in a consolidated national government. They pointed to specific parts of the document … Read more
The Communist Left stole the recent Brazilian election. That was just practice. The Democrat Socialists of America are planning “The Big Steal” in the USA. Josef Stalin, a Marxist dictator, said, “It doesn’t matter who votes! What matters is who counts the vote!” I am confident that in New Hampshire, the State that started the … Read more

More than 45 days of notices to towns, the Ballot Law Commission, and the Secretary of State have gone unanswered. No one has opened a single ballot-counting machine that a town has already bought. The September 17 presentation, the September 23 statewide notice, and the September 28 Attorney General complaints all asked the same thing: … Read more
“A single step” beyond the limits of the Constitution. Thomas Jefferson warned that just one solitary act lays the foundation for unlimited power. Consider the road to 1776. It wasn’t about a tiny tax on tea; it was about the claimed authority to levy it. From the Revolution back to ancient Greece, the Founders knew … Read more
The New Hampshire general election is Tuesday, November 3.

Cornerstone does not make endorsements lightly. We survey candidates on our core issues, review … Read more
On December 4th, 2023, I wrote to Concord Police seeking records on Concord Police Detective Julie Curtin.

In 2010, Kelly Ayotte said all the right things and won the Republican US Senate Primary and the General Election. Once elected, Senator Ayotte discarded her campaign promises and positioned herself firmly on whichever side of the bread the butter was on. Most notably, she immediately joined Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham as the … Read more
For years, my son and I volunteered to help build community in Ossipee. We believed a public park and its Main Street building could bring generations together. On November 20, 2025, they demolished that building. The loss cannot be undone. The public still deserves to know how its decisions, donations, property, and money are protected. … Read more
If you have watched any of the City Council meetings for Concord, New Hampshire, in recent months, you’ll be left gasping at the level of misogyny. At the most recent City Council meeting, Mayor Byron Champlin shut down female councilor Stacey Brown. She kept her cool and made her point, sounding reasoned, logical, and methodical. … Read more
