Fundamentally, it had a flawed design. Its architects meant to appeal to the public, promising what the old system could not fully deliver – guaranteed access to affordable health cover and coverage for pre-existing conditions (PECs). But they were wrong about being able to keep your doctor or your old policy if you wanted. Previously, … Read more

The family of Christopher Harper is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to finding the missing Burlington man, who disappeared one year ago this week. Harper, 37, was last seen in late November 2024. His family says they have not heard from him since, which they describe as completely uncharacteristic. “Chris’ family deeply … Read more
My attraction to the left’s obsession with “climate chaos” is derived from two fundamental truths. First, it is based on ridiculously unscientific “science.” Low-hanging fruit, if you prefer. For example, the notion of consensus is opposed to what science is—the endless testing and evaluation of conventions in pursuit of truth. The moment a majority of … Read more

While we wait for Democrats to explain why they didn’t give a rat’s ass about sex trafficking of minor girls when they had the chance to release all those “Epstein Files,” let’s consider another lifestyle choice they can’t bring themselves to oppose – Muslims and Islam, which emulates its dear leader, who enshrined the notion of child-brides … Read more
Grassroots Thunder vs. Establishment Drizzle Boom! Right on the money again. As New Hampshire’s premier grassroots conservative powerhouse, WE the People NH’s (WTPNH) endorsement of Scott Brown isn’t just a flex; it’s a seismic rejection of the insider narrative being peddled by the Sununu machine and their D.C. allies. That “narrative” drop from the establishment’s … Read more
Veterans’ Day has been a day of conflict for me for many years. My Dad, and undoubtedly many of his friends and cousins, walked into a recruitment office and volunteered to serve their country to go to Europe or the South Pacific to fight the Germans or Japanese, who posed a threat to the free … Read more
Deporting illegals, rebuilding our Military’s character and mission, lowering gas prices, and attempting to prosecute all the government miscreants who shamelessly lied to the American people, is all good, BUT IT AIN’T ENOUGH, particularly, for a lot of lower-middle-class and low-income Americans this Thanksgiving. Trump and the Republicans are doing the same thing Biden and … Read more
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting 9CPB) has been defunded for several weeks now, and the world didn’t end. NPR and PBS continue with their programming, but for how long? CPB, which laundered tax dollars to the achaic and no longer necessary offspring, is decruting and at some point its offices, like those of USAID, will … Read more

Development of an offshore wind farm south of Nantucket had been halted, thanks to a ruling by a federal judge. The reasoning behind the nod is one we’ve shared before that applies to the lease … Read more
How power quietly shifts when no one’s watching A mafia and a school board seem like total opposites. One rules through fear and secrecy; the other is supposed to represent voters in the open. But look more closely at how decisions are made, and a strange similarity emerges. In both cases, a small, organized group … Read more
Epidemic Obesity is getting attention from both sides of the problem. I stumbled accross this Fox News has an article titled, “America’s fattest states revealed — and how Ozempic is changing the map.” A Pennsylvania health analytics company, Purple Lab, analyzed prescription records for synthetic GLP-1 products by state. GLP1 is a natural hormone that helps … Read more
New York Governor Kathy Hochul is in a fight with the courts over that state’s greenhouse gas reduction mandates. Like Vermont’s Global Warming Solutions Act, New York passed a law dictating that the state must reduce emissions by, in their case, 40 percent by 2030. And, like Vermont, a major policy for doing so is … Read more
One of my offspring sauntered into the kitchen this morning and asked if I’d heard about the latest Epetein outrage. I asked, Which one. He said that when Democrats released two emails that allegedly implicated Donald Trump, after which Republicans released twenty thousand pages of emails. He thought it was funny, and while he is … Read more
Fellow Americans, the red, white, and blue nightmare we’ve warned about for years has crashed through the gates of our greatest city like a Trojan horse packed with Sharia decrees.

The Government is open again, despite the Democrats who closed it trying to keep it that way, which sort of kind of messes with the who shut it down in the first place narrative.
