Welcome to the end of the traditional work week, though many of our readers may be of the sort that have to work on weekends. Been there, done that. I spent many years in occupations where weekends were just workdays, but running ‘Grok is a 7 days a 7-day-a-week, 365-day-a-year, no days off, no vacations … Read more
Back in the 1990s, schools used a mental health screening tool called TeenScreen. Most people didn’t realize these screenings often produced false positives—flagging children for mental health problems when none existed. Today, with the rise of the Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS-B) in public schools, the focus on children’s mental health has only grown. But … Read more
Last year, we invested no small amount of time and space, thanks to the hard work of citizens who care more about election integrity than many towns or the state, exposing ballot chain of custody issues. If you recall, improperly sealed boxes and problems with the procedure for applying tamperproof tape received some attention. The … Read more
The national Democratic Party has finally ripped the mask off — and the face underneath isn’t “moderate” Joe Biden or “pragmatic” Chris Pappas. It’s James Carville yelling “eliminate the filibuster, pack the Supreme Court, and add new states for permanent Democrat control!” And it’s Beto O’Rourke bellowing “f— the rules!” like some woke outlaw in … Read more

College for me was the late 60’s. I never wore blue jeans! All my friends wondered why.I had no money to purchase a pair, and my parents hated them. Today, I have one pair in myclothes closet. I rarely bother to wear them, but what a hoot, all the fuss about SydneySweeney. My Mom and … Read more
There is growing excitement about the possibility that President Donald Trump, who has been nominated by a growing list of world leaders, could win the Nobel Peace Prize. Mr. Trump has been actively involved in trying to spread Peace. He is anti-interventionist, for the most part. And he is, realistically, the only guy who seems … Read more
In February, as Robert F Kennedy Jr. took the helm of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), a battle unfolded between entrenched Big Pharma loyalists, including the FDA’s director of its Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), Dr. Peter Marks, and the incoming HHS team. Secretary Kennedy requested data related to vaccine … Read more
Alderman Melbourne Moran Jr is supposedly not seeking reelection this fall. Let’s hope, for everyone’s sake, that it’s true because he really is a moron. I call him “Alderman Moron” and encourage others to do the same, but Ward 7 moderator Avalon Lewis got a head start in preparing for Alderman Moron’s future private citizenry … Read more
The month of August is supposed to be a quiet time in Washington, D.C., with Congress and the Supreme Court on recess, so there should be little to report. Well, these are not ordinary times, and instead of a steady stream of videos of Biden on the beach in Rehoboth, we have videos of Trump … Read more
Inflation is low and steady at 1.9%. Wages went up again in June (1.3%). Energy and food prices are down. Private sector employment is up. If you have a 401K, annuity, or other market-based investment, it is likely doing well, which is good news for retirees and union pension funds, and states and municipalities with … Read more
Let’s be clear right out of the gate: Neo-Nazis have no place in New Hampshire. Their hateful ideology deserves nothing but condemnation. But if you think a few masked cowards goose-stepping through Concord are the real threat to the Granite State, I’ve got a toll booth on I-89 to sell you. What happened in Concord … Read more

“Spilling the tea” is parlance for dishing the dirt or, more simply, gossiping about others. This pastime of women everywhere carries with it both benefits and detriments. The Good Book warns us against gossiping for fear of spreading fake news (unless one does it professionally, of course) or unfairly ruining another’s reputation. However, some amount … Read more

At the John Birch Society’s 1970 sponsored New England Rally For God, Family, and Country, the prophetic words of John Steinbacher were spoken: “The way to take over a nation is to change the religion of the people.” This revolution has already been in process for at least a century, threatening the future of my … Read more
Sometimes we publish op-eds or allow content that is not aligned with my views. In part, to gauge the audience’s reaction and to see if anyone has enlightening observations to share that make me or our readers think about or rethink the issue. I did that and, as we’ve seen in the past, when you … Read more
It’s almost déjà vu – a never-heard-of virus spreading through China, requiring vaccination and scaring the public. Fortunately, this one is generally non-fatal.

Americans needn’t rush to buy masks or hide indoors; people visiting China, Hong Kong, or other affected … Read more
