I hope everyone who went to Howard Pearl’s Oktoberfest last weekend at his family farm had a good time. Everyone, including Howard. While my new senator is busy cleaning up from that shindig, he should know that I am watching him just like Mr Focker’s future father-in-law would. Everyone should be watching their senator on … Read more
Today’s America is partially due to a Congress that has yet to be acquainted with accountability. And it’s not a recent ailment since this predates our grandparents. In fact, the only bright spark was during the fifties when sessions of the House Un-American Activities Committee, HUAC, were held. Since then, selected candidates have been of … Read more

With a single heated remark to a developer, a Portsmouth Planning Board member last week showed exactly how the municipal development process is broken.

Victor Davis Hanson just dropped a new term to describe the Democrat crime lords calling themselves mayors who oversee the party’s larger urban left-wing vote farms. Those big blue cities that skew the crime numbers that try to hide illegal border jumpers, especially if they are child sex trafficking rapists or murderers. They rely heavily … Read more
Government shutdowns are not frequent events, which is great for Congress, because they serve as Exhibit #1 for how childish both sides can be. I hear better debate from the front of my elementary school bus, where the youngest children are seated. The 24/7 media is filled with the various faces of Congress blaming the … Read more

With city elections just a month away, it’s a good idea for candidates to be familiar with their city’s “operations manual” regarding recounts, regardless of the city, but especially in Nashua. As Alderman Dowd’s previous opponent, I was refused a recount. Before any readers call me a sore loser or (insert preferred insult here), some … Read more

Beginning in the mid-eighties (1980s), a series of disgruntled civil service employees working for the United States Postal Service took out their frustration by shooting up post offices. The term “going postal” was born and generally applied to anyone who completely lost it in the workplace or in regard to it. Post offices were soft … Read more
Many people were shocked to see the identitarian left erupting in ghoulish celebration when news broke that Charlie Kirk had been assassinated. Students who despised Kirk’s political views were seen chanting, “We got Charlie in the neck.” The British sociologist Frank Furedi argues that these students are not confined to a radical, unhinged fringe, nor do they merely … Read more

Yes, they want you to pay for health insurance for non-citizens, but they also want “$3 million for circumcisions and vasectomies in Zambia.” That’s according … Read more

Canada is about to enforce another “assisted suicide” law – the seizure of once lawful firearms. It’s an assisted suicide law because they know you have them, how many, and probably where they are, and if you don’t voluntarily turn them over, the police will be visiting, and that’s likely to result in some hard … Read more
