On May 3rd, I experienced a sentimental return to my teaching days of many years ago as I drove through the turn around at the Windham Center School. Of course, this was after hours, and my principal reason for being in Windham at 6:30 PM was to attend the Windham Selectman’s Meeting scheduled for 7 PM.

What if Bolduc is the more principled conservative and would be a better and more consistent vote in the U.S. Senate? Recently, several articles have talked about Bolduc’s career, his time of service to our country, his advocacy for our veterans, and his efforts to bring out the issues of PTSD.

Op-Ed – Applying lessons of remote instruction when we go back to school
I recently spoke to a pair of high school juniors with very different perspectives on remote instruction.
Leslie (not her real name) was committed to keeping a strict schedule when schools shifted to remote instruction in April.
Have we really counted the costs?
How long does it take to build a new home from scratch and how many people with how many different skills are needed to get the job done? How long does it take for an uncontrollable fire to reduce that house to ashes?
OpEd – Waive Growler Regulations, Save the Beer
The goal of legislators is always to find solutions to improve the lives of our constituents. In these unprecedented times in struggling with COVID-19, finding solutions may look different than it did a month ago, but our mission has not changed. Together, we can come through this crisis.

OPINION: Needless Regulations hurt Health Care
ACROSS the country, state leaders have raised the alarm over the lack of enough beds should the COVID-19 pandemic create a surge in serious and critical cases. They are concerned that they simply won’t have enough hospital beds to care for ill patients and are taking drastic steps to “flatten the curve” – spreading out … Read more
Hate and Intolerance in New Boston
What I saw last Thursday was a lesson in hate and intolerance of people in their community that have different ideas. As I said when I spoke, I am not a Free Stater, but I know what it’s like to live in a state where my wife and I finally said: “We have to get out of here.”
Corruption in Carroll County New Hampshire…
On the evening of Sunday, February 23 I was arrested in the street in front of my Effingham home after I refused to voluntarily relinquish our livestock guardian dogs [both of whom were rescued under threat of euthanasia for not being companion animals(!!)] to the police for impoundment and euthanasia.
The Lawless Congressional Leadership
We’ve all seen the viral video of the Speaker of The House, Nancy Pelosi seemingly tearing up her slide deck in a fit of pique. Representative Paul Gosar calling for bringing her up on ethics charges had a lot more going for his take on events than most of us because Speaker Pelosi destroyed an official document on national television.
Testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on HB1675 (caring for newborns)
This was my testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on HB1675, just one of the four abortion bills they held hearings on this week. I wanted to speak to this specifically because I had won a hard-fought battle to pass a Born Alive Infants Protection Act when I was in the House. It was unclear … Read more
The Appeal of Socialism to Millennials’
Socialism is once again singing its sirens song to the disaffected in this case largely millennial population in the united states. Unfortunately, we did it to ourselves “we have met the enemy and he is us.”
I Miss The Old Jennifer Horn
I miss the old Jennifer Horn. When you were just starting out in politics in New Hampshire. You were reasonable and you had real Republican ideals. It is very disappointing to see such a decline from those principles over the years.
Carbon Taxes Abandon GOP Principles
Earlier this week, The Hill published an article saying that College Republicans across the country were backing a group called Young Conservatives for Carbon Dividends. Here in New Hampshire, College Republicans have been speaking up against this group, because we know that Carbon Dividends are bad for the party, bad for New Hampshire, and bad … Read more
Why I’m Not A Socialist
Recently, Senator Jeanne Dietsch wrote an article about how she isn’t a libertarian (her voting record already let us know that). Her first thought is that libertarian is bad because it was responsible for slavery. I think we need to back up and explain to Senator Dietsch what a traditional libertarian might mean. Foremost, it … Read more
Let’s Bring Common Sense to Penacook and Concord
Penacook has been overlooked, and as a Marine and a father with a child in the school system, I hope to change that. I have heard that many residents would like a grocery store. One of my top priorities is to streamline the process to help ensure this happens. We can’t allow another good deal … Read more
In the Beginning J.P Morgan Created the Fed
In the beginning J.P Morgan created the Fed … well kind of. In November 1910, at the behest of financier J. P. Morgan, a hand-picked group met. They were bankers and politicians. At a hunting camp on Jekyll Island, Georgia they met. There were six men: Nelson Aldrich, A. Piatt Andrew, Henry Davison, Arthur Shelton, … Read more
Margaret Drye – Dedicated to Our Community
For almost four decades, I have been responding to Plainfield and Cornish homes and roads as an EMT with Cornish Rescue. As a result, I have seen the opioid epidemic up close, and I have also seen the many medical, physical, and financial challenges our senior citizens face.
Spec Bowers – Silly Editorial About O’Brien
The Concord Monitor’s April 5 editorial about House Speaker Bill O’Brien is one of the sillier ones of the last year and a half. It reminds me of the old legal adage, “When the facts are on your side, pound the facts. When the law is on your side, pound the law. When neither is … Read more
