MacDonald: Big Beautiful Bill Defunds Planned Parenthood

Much like the New Hampshire state budget, or more specifically, the budget trailer bill, The Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) just passed by the US Senate (headed back to the House for reconciliation), is loaded with wins and losses. Critics have every right to express concern over spending priorities and claims that the net benefits will … Read more

Opinion: The Queen of Burning Bridges

Recently, I’ve been reflecting on the Free State Project (FSP) and its leadership, and it’s opened my eyes to some troubling shifts. After this past legislative eye-opening session, I’ve grown increasingly concerned about the direction certain libertarian factions are taking. In a candid X post, I shared, “I’m increasingly concerned with FSP leadership (emphasis on leadership) … Read more

NE Take: Should We Spend $7,300 per Student?

On a special Wednesday edition of New England Take, what did the NH Supreme Court decide?!? A. J. breaks down the decision on Contoocook Valley School District v.

NH Gov. Kelly Ayotte

Opinion: Gov. Ayotte – Sign These Bills

New Hampshire is poised to become the 28th state to ban medical procedures aimed at disguising the sex of minors. I urge Governor Kelly Ayotte to sign HB377 and HB712 into law. I serve as the coordinator of the Desisted & Detransitioned Women’s Caucus of Women’s Declaration International USA. Women’s Declaration International (WDI)  is the … Read more

UPENN erases Lia Thomas

MacDonald: UPenn Just Erased Lia Thomas

The University of Pennsylvania, desiring to comply with Federal law and the current interpretation of Title IX (and wanting not to get sued or defunded) has agreed to “give up swimming records, titles or other recognitions awarded to trans athletes and give them to cisgender athletes.” Lia Thomas, the award-winning University of Pennsylvania swimmer, no … Read more

Howard Pearl Needs To Be Primaried

I am convinced that Howard Pearl was invited to that exclusive Bridges House lunch with governor Ayotte shortly before the legislature met to vote on that crappy budget.  Even though he’s my new senator, he will probably diss me as persona non grata for this article, but that’s ok.  It’s not about me, but about … Read more

Scaer: Nashua Mayor Jim Donchess Despises the First Amendment

Nashua Mayor Jim Donchess has no problem with permitting the Satanic Temple to march behind him in the Nashua Pride Parade holding a flag and banner praising Satan, but the Pine Tree Flag is supposedly too controversial to fly on Nashua City Hall Plaza. Last year, Mayor Donchess turned down my request to fly the … Read more

MacDonald: Israel’s Attack on Iran Helps America … Create Jobs?

A happy customer is a great salesman and an asset. Word of mouth is a foundation of success, especially when it can be coupled with examples—a real-world demonstration of the product’s attributes or capabilities. Whatever you may think about Israel’s “decapitation” attack on Iran (or what followed), one thing stands out. Regardless of party or … Read more

Imani: A Call to New Resolve in Battle against the Iranian Mullahs

The recent ceasefire in the conflict between Iran and Israel has not brought peace to the Iranian people. Instead, it has unleashed a brutal campaign by the Islamic Republic’s theocratic regime to tighten its grip on power. The mullahs, sensing their vulnerability after widespread unrest and dissent, have launched a vicious crackdown, targeting ordinary citizens, … Read more

Smith: The Case For Dan Innis

Sometime in the spring of 2022, while Senator Giuda was sitting with us in the dining room, he said, “General Bolduc can’t beat Maggie Hassan.”  Before his prognostication was proven correct, my first thought was “let’s address the reasons for him saying that.”  I never got into the weeds of it, which was likely due … Read more

MacDonald: Another Test for “Local” Health Departments (And Politicians)

Remember when everyone and the grandmother they claimed you were trying to kill said, they “were just following the CDC’s orders. They meant advice, recommendations, suggestions, advisories, anything the CDC said during the pandemic was why they did it. Public Health “experts,” often just pencil-pushers or functionaries, did the same. “The CDC says,” was a … Read more

Underwood: Why is Jeanne Dietsch so afraid of the FSP?

I just finished watching a little scare session conducted by former NH state senator Jeanne Dietsch, which you can find here. I should start by saying that, in my experience, when NH residents actually talk to Free Staters to find out what they believe, more often than not, they end up realizing that those beliefs … Read more

MacDonald: Canada Had to Fold Like a Cheap Tent

Last week, Mr. Trump announced the US had ended all trade talks with Canada after the Great White North declared that it was moving forward with its digital services tax (DST). Canada, like every socialist nation on earth, needs revenue. The government meddles and crushes, and this planned decline would result in the government having … Read more

MacDonald: The ACLUs Latest Dumbass Election Lawsuit

When Governor Sununu signed HB1569 into law, the Proglodytes lost their minds. How dare you require proof of citizenship for first-time voter registration? This is an outrage. People will be turned away and denied their right to vote. Quick question for the ACLU? Where are the lawsuits against requiring the same information for other purposes? … Read more

New York City - de Blasio wants to take private property

Imani: The Death of the Big Apple

New York City stands on the edge of a cliff, and Zohran Mamdani’s election as mayor will shove it into the abyss. His radical socialist agenda, laced with dangerous ideologies, will torch the city’s foundation, turning the greatest metropolis on Earth into a third-world wasteland. This isn’t speculation – it’s a guarantee. If Mamdani takes … Read more

Klar: The Astronomical Costs of Illegal Immigration Escalates

Recent reports that so-called “anchor babies” (children born in the US to illegal parents) are consuming as much as 25% or more of public school resources further support conservative positions that legal and illegal immigration must be better controlled.
