I don’t get a vote that guarantees me a Republican member of Congress. Still, Democrats are complaining that if the Supreme Court changes the Voting Rights Act, Republicans will gain seats in the US House once held by Democrats, as if Democrats are better for Black Americans. First, the right to vote does not come … Read more
With SNAP (food stamps) and LIHEAP (home heating) benefits for low-income Vermonters set to be turned off in November if the federal government doesn’t reopen ASAP, state and local politicians are scrambling to find alternative solutions. So far, despite vague promises, they don’t have any. Nothing concrete and actionable, at any rate. LIHEAP in Vermont … Read more
The Biden Administration set many precedents—firsts, if you like. Most of them are bad to awful. Misplacing children is high on the list. The total is somewhere around 300,000, which isn’t exactly a glowing endorsement for the lie that he cared about undocumented aliens. Like blacks, women, gays, and so on, immigrants are just another … Read more

Americans struggling with grocery budgets will have noticed that the cost of beef has been particularly high. The Trump administration inherited the problem of elevated meat and grocery prices, which had been exacerbated by broad inflation during the Biden administration. Numerous pressures have pushed steak and hamburger prices to new highs. President Trump recently proclaimed … Read more
The only city I know where they demolish an entire building, and build a totally new one is Las Vegas, Nevada! Grafton County ain’t Vegas, baby! In my opinion, after following Grafton County Commissioners’ Meetings via ZOOM since June of 2024 (except for the 17-week unilateral and arbitrary Blackout of ZOOM meetings by Chairwoman Martha … Read more

The Los Angeles County Public Health Officer wants everyone to know that while they’ve identified three cases of the more virulent strain of Monkeypox (MPOX), “At this time, no clear link has been identified between the cases.” More like we can’t say what the link is cuz reasons. Let’s jump in the not-so-way-back machine to the summer … Read more

An Independent Voter’s Call for Authenticity, Freedom, and Leadership Against Establishment Elites. As an independent voter who left the Democratic Party in 2019 and has since voted Republican, my perspective on the upcoming 2026 New Hampshire Senate race is profoundly personal and grounded in core American values. I’m the New Hampshire state chapter leader for … Read more
Senator Sam Douglass was in a group chat of Young Republicans where some people did say some truly disgusting things. There were undeniably antisemitic and anti-black racist terms used, and comments made. This came to light in an article by the hard-left, deeply partisan site, Politico, based on leaked transcripts. The Politico article was posted … Read more
Before anyone tells me how unimportant my input is or reminds me of my previous article supporting Dan Innis, there are some things to consider. Let’s start by remembering that a federal senatorial race is a statewide election. Unlike a presidential election, only NH voters get to vote (lawfully and in theory), which makes it … Read more
Dems squandered weeks of opportunity to address issues that were important to them. DHHS has a budget, and renewing the over-inflated, over-reaching COVID tax credits in the Unaffordable Care Act could have been part of those negotiations. Instead, they demanded it, along with some other crap, and held the entire government hostage. And that’s a … Read more
The state of Louisiana has become the focal point of longstanding tensions between the well-intentioned goals of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to prevent racial discrimination and the specific provisions of the Constitution mandating that all citizens be treated equally, regardless of skin color. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on Oct. 15 in Louisiana … Read more

Judge Marconi—fresh off controversy—is back on the Supreme Court bench while her husband faces trial. John E. Sununu jumps into the federal Senate race—can he really be the Comeback Kid?

We can’t say this enough. Carbon Dioxide is not a pollutant. It is chemically incapable of achieving a tipping point. Accumulation leads to saturation, resulting in a decline in radiative forcing. There’s even evidence that the majority of the (irrelevant) rise has very little to do with human activity. CO2 is not just good for … Read more
“At 84, if you don’t take the vaccine, you’re dead.” This advice from my doctor, checking me for COVID in 2020, increased my distrust. The doctor wasn’t on my side, but on the side of power hijacking the medical establishment. History doesn’t repeat, but human nature remains the same. Doctors being agents for the state … Read more
We’ve got shutdown memes, no kings memes, memie memes, dem memes, antifa memes, a fake crowd meme, did I mention No Kings memes, and then there’s memes. If you clicked on this post for anything else, you are out of luck. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
The Portsmouth School District seems to hold some students in higher esteem than others. The latest controversy centers on Anthony Ferola, a 17-year-old senior at Portsmouth High School, who has been told to refrain from praying publicly during basketball games. According to Seacoast Online, Ferola prayed before games for his teammates’ health and to express … Read more
