Let me be clear: a “Legislature from Hell 2.0” was never something I wanted, but here we are today, living through the aftermath of a train wreck worse than 2018. Pundits, analysts, strategists, and talking heads have already begun sharing their thoughts, at the mic and at the keyboard, and obviously will continue doing so … Read more
Today, on episode 300 of the Morning Update, yet another example of how democrats destroy everything they touch. A lesson many will watch, after Tuesday’s results, in real time over the next two years, and we need to make sure they learn it … before it gets this bad. Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel … Read more
After the Red Wave, the Blue Undertow. About half of the Republican House Red Wave Class of 2024 lost their bids for re-election yesterday, November 3. The once-sturdy 57-vote caucus collapsed to (by VDC’s count) to 38 yesterday in what GOP Chair Paul Dame, in a late-night statement, called part of the nationwide response to … Read more
George Washington’s Fatal Prediction “A frightful despotism.” George Washington knew what was coming. His Farewell Address, published on September 19, 1796, in the American Daily Advertiser, wasn’t just a retirement notice. It was a dire warning against things like skyrocketing debt and entangling foreign alliances. But his sharpest, most prophetic warnings were about political parties … Read more
Trump got Greenland after everyone- the EU, Greenland, and Denmark said no. It’s done. We’ve not only agreed to terms; Greenland’s lawmakers voted to seal the deal. ILULISSAT, Greenland (AP) — Greenlandic lawmakers on Tuesday voted to approve an agreement between the Arctic island, Denmark and the United States to strengthen security in the Arctic … Read more
Brownstone Institute In the same way that medieval kings seized any excuse to invade neighboring countries, today’s politicians perennially seek pretexts to further invade citizens’ lives. And there is never a shortage of intellectuals who, like the courtiers long ago, assure their masters that God — or at least social science — blesses their aggression. … Read more
School violated their First Amendment rights: District bound by court to allow peaceful sideline protest. We seem to be closing NH cases this week. On Nov. 4th, we reported on the settlement of a viewpoint discrimination case involving some ‘Grok authors and the City of Nashua. Today, the Institute for Speech announced that the Bow … Read more
The next two years will probably be bad for New Hampshire and America, but should be good for Republicans. Being exiled in places where the GOP always had a reliable majority is cathartic. All those displaced state reps will also have time to keep tabs on their political opponents as we advance toward the 2028 … Read more
Dear Representative Scherr, Thank you for your Op-Ed in “In Depth New Hampshire.” Unfortunately, not only is the Supreme Court’s statement on Dianne Martin incorrect, but the JCC’s statement of October 28, 2026 regarding Anna Barbara Hantz-Marconi is also incorrect. That statement says that Anna Barbara Hantz-Marconi returned to the Supreme Court in October 2025 but … Read more
Today, on the Morning Update, we have to talk about this one: an old angry liberal man (OALM?) slaps an 18-year-old TPUSA poll worker across the face on Election Day. In Laconia, NH. The story went wide and fast. There are plenty of lessons there, especially after the beating Republicans just took. Watch on the … Read more
Wherever you look in our founding documents, speeches, or correspondence, you find the idea that happiness comes from acquiring and enjoying the fruits of one’s labor, and from the conditions of limited government that make it possible. Article 2 of the New Hampshire Constitution, minus the unnecessary addition of characteristics like sex or skin color … Read more
Brownstone Institute In my day, being young was dominated by three basics: sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll. Boy, that world has changed. Seems like our kids aren’t having much sex these days. Drugs? Yes, mostly of the prescribed type. And rock ‘n’ roll? Well, not much anymore, as the listening tastes of today’s youth … Read more
Regular readers are familiar with the various flag-flaps, most of them with Nashua. ‘Grok contributor Hal Shurtleff took a flagpole case to the U.S. Supreme Court and won 9-0 (audio interview on this with Hal, here). Beth and Stephen Scaer, also both ‘Grok contributors, had plenty of flag flaps in Nashua, one of which finally … Read more
If you are an independent thinker or averse to being one of the sheep that just follow the herd, the Democratic Party may not be the place for you. The Democrats claim to have a big tent, but it comes with one important caveat to be allowed in; you must check your mind at the … Read more

After the midterm wipeout, one that is historic in New Hampshire, two immediate tests are now before us. How do we take the news, and what can be done before January? Character, after all, is defined when we fail. Nationally, as I noted here, the GOP still has Congress until Jan 1 and could try … Read more
Republicans got crushed in the Midterm Elections, especially in New Hampshire, with only Ayotte standing between you and an Income tax, and that remains to be seen. Dems could still land a supermajority in the Senate, and they already have one in the NH House, which looks like a bloodbath. One estimate puts them at … Read more
