BEST: Rape Kits, Domestic Violence and the ‘Sliding Scale’ of Due Process – Yikes! 

The Criminal Justice Committee heard several bills on Friday relating to domestic and sexual violence. HB1651, HB1740, and HB1633 caught my attention [hearing video shared below]. First up was HB1651, introduced by Rep. Jennifer Rhodes. It was heavily supported by the NHCADSV, which had multiple lobbyists there on its payroll. They also had a three-person … Read more

PAYNE: Alexander Fraser Tytler’s Freedom Fatal Sequence

It is disheartening to look at Alexander Fraser Tytler’s (1722-1783) model depicting the cyclical path from freedom to slavery. And yet, the predominant political wisdom of our day features this same progression.  The fallen human nature of man hasn’t changed since Adam took a bite out of the apple; men want to play God while greed … Read more

RHODES: Trump and the Administrative State

What Draining the Swamp Should Look Like Supporters of Donald Trump often argue that his presidency represents a meaningful challenge to the administrative state and to global governance structures.

TYSON: Blackwashing The Word “Segregation” Won’t Fix The Segregation We Actually Have

New Hampshire House Democrats reacted to the leaked “segregated schools” chat the way modern politics trains people to react: treat a sloppy phrase as a full confession of racial intent, denounce it as a moral abomination, and then declare the conversation over. Democratic leader Alexis Simpson called segregation “a living scar,” “built through violence,” and … Read more

OPINION: The American Bureaucracy

Americans voted overwhelmingly for change in 2024, handing Donald J. Trump a mandate to drain the swamp, yet, here we are a year into his re-election, with the same D.C. swamp denizens seemingly unscathed, no prosecutions, no accountability for even the violations of 18 U.S. Code S.242 – Deprivation of rights under color of law, … Read more

RHODES: Wealth Transfer in Maine

While righteous indignation is spreading over the so-called Somali affair—real or imagined—the question Americans should be asking is not who offended whom, who received money, or which group violated some moral expectation, but what structural architecture of the Administrative State makes situations like this inevitable in the first place and why Americans are conditioned to … Read more

TYSON: Faubus, Walz, and the Old American Sport of “Federalism When Convenient”

America has a charming habit: we rediscover “states’ rights” every time the federal government starts doing something our faction hates. The principle stays in the closet until it matches the outfit. In 1957, Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus staged the classic: state power deployed to frustrate federal authority, wrapped in the language of “public order.” When … Read more

OPINION: American Indians – Separating Truth from Fiction

One of the “legacies” of works like Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States is its treatment of Native Americans. People like Zinn accuse explorers and colonists of racial hatred and hostility, resulting in horrific massacres of Native Americans. He portrayed Native American societies as peaceful and environmentally conscious. This has become the mainstream perspective. … Read more

PAYNE: The Collective Prince of Fools

Truth and virtue are the foundations of liberty. Free people are in peril when they forget the basics that made them free. Ignorance and apathy invite the opposite – lies, fraud,  and corruption.  People sell their votes while greed and envy feed the nanny state. A political cartoon once said, “I’VE BEEN IN OFFICE 20 … Read more

McMaken: The Rise of the State and the Fall of Natural Law

December 2025 marks the centennial of Pope Pius XI’s 1925 encyclical Quas Primas, which established the feast of Christ the King. Today, this feast is often commemorated by your average, milquetoast clergyman through calls to metaphorically embrace Jesus Christ as king and to have him “reign in our hearts.” That sort of thing has its place, … Read more

OPINION: Good Health Instead of Special Interests in 2026

In a free society, the government would respect that an individual’s health-related choices are his own business. There would be no local, state, or national government “health departments” intervening in these matters. All of that would be left to individuals to decide. Government health departments in America have become appendages of entities such as pharmaceutical … Read more

OPINION: Revisiting JD Bernardy’s HB652 – Abolishing Family Court

Editor: The author has asked to remain anonymous. In New Hampshire, family courts have outwardly been a two-decade battleground  between parents and the legislature—those striving to restore due process and accountability, while others are committed to continuing an irretrievably broken system. Unsurprisingly, meaningful corrective provisions for due process, appeals, and redress options are notably absent in … Read more
