TL;DR: The NH Attorney General has submitted a 125-page legal brief to defend the State of New Hampshire Executive branch’s position on overturning the NH Supreme Court’s Claremont decision and its progeny. It’s a battle between the Executive and Judicial branch for control over public education. It’s a Statist argument: it does not restore or … Read more
Vermont Democrats nominated Amanda Janoo as their horse to take on Phil Scott in November’s gubernatorial election, rejecting by a slim margin the putatively more moderate alternative, Aly Richards, and in doing so decided to go – as many in their party have – full-on communist. Though Janoo doesn’t formally claim the Democratic Socialist party … Read more
Today on the Morning Update, another DSA darling ascends as the Democratic nominee to a general election, this time in Florida, where we hope she has no chance whatsoever. But? We’re here to help, just in case – because you’ve got douche whistles in your state running for local and federal elections as well, and … Read more
How we, the people, remain free isn’t the easy path. It requires the willingness to self-educate, to accept the mission passed on from the generation before, and to put country first. The words of the Declaration of Independence did not change history; the commitment of the fifty-six signers did. For they all knew, as Ben … Read more
I know I’ve been beating this donkey-skinned drum for a while, but the difference between the DNC and the DSA can be boiled down to this. Two letters, same priorities, just slightly different trajectories, rapidly approaching the furthest left possible alignment. They both claim to hate the rich, love criminals more than law-abiding citizens, “other” … Read more
This week on Right Side Up, Alison and Mike discuss the Primary election, voter options for affordability, cybersecurity in Vermont, and a much-needed change in direction.

You won’t have had any trouble finding a suitable amount of justified outrage over Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signing the death-at-birth warrant, doing business as the Orwellian-sounding “Prioritizing Patient Access to Care Act.” Prioritizing what? I remember when babies were patients, especially in the third trimester, when they are more than capable of surviving outside … Read more
Nashua taxpayers deserve full transparency, accuracy, and candor from their elected officials. Recent developments, however, raise serious concerns about how Mayor Jim Donchess and the Board of Aldermen are managing the City’s finances, and how residents are being informed about those decisions. The FY2026 budget initially presented to residents totaled $474,895,381. Yet the City now … Read more

The dangerously flawed structure of the New Hampshire judiciary, administrative offices of the court, judicial conduct committee, and attorney disciplinary office is finally being exposed. TL;DR: It is well past time for this, especially when we find out that a State Police Officer involved in digital investigations has been covered up for five years for … Read more
Today, on the Morning Update, we know Dems are crooks, from using government to steal your property to robbing you of your natural rights. But these Dems are extra crooked, and if they are doing it there, they are probably doing it wherever you are. Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel if the Embedded Video … Read more
Loyalty within municipal government often carries a cost, and Nashua taxpayers are paying it without knowing how much. A review of Nashua’s payroll shows that municipal salaries are significantly higher than both the New Hampshire state average and national benchmarks. In 2024 payroll data, the average salary for City of Nashua employees is $84,948, which … Read more
I can’t even call the pleasure it gives me Schadenfreude because the Handmaiden media is in complete denial over why it keeps losing audience and market share regardless of the medium. Forced to compete in the arena of not just ideas but how they get reported, the J-School elites are the band on the Titanic, … Read more
…and a major dose of education. The results of many primaries, and the electorate’s acceptance of candidates with low personal standards, prove that we must win the mid-term elections if we are to maintain any level of sanity and preserve what is left of America. The people are frustrated, mad, and financially stretched, which are … Read more
Citing 1850 Constitutional Record Unavailable to the Claremont Courts. Windham taxpayer and former Windham School Board member and occasional ‘Grok contributor ‘ Tom Murray has filed a constitutional challenge to New Hampshire’s education property-tax structure. He argues that previously unconsidered constitutional history undermines the foundation of the New Hampshire Supreme Court’s landmark Claremont school-funding decisions … Read more
I fired up (no pun intended) the computer this morning to be met with horrible WMUR headlines. Beanie’s is on fire. Think of when you (and everyone you know) learned that Notre Dame was on fire. Not only is Beanie’s a Loudon community pillar, but they deserve everyone’s support, whether we’re Loudon locals or not. … Read more
The elected elite think they are so smart. The people who elect them think they are smart for doing that. Often, the otherwise disinterested political middle thinks it’s smart to elect them as well. The result is dumb people in office doing things to you they think are smart but are not. A Colorado woman … Read more
In an August 5th missive to parents of students at John Stark High School, Principal Gary Dempsey outlined some curriculum changes. Sadly, most Engineering courses have been canceled. These include Welding, Small Engines, and all Physics courses. A local source tells me that the teacher quit for better pay in another district, and that Administration … Read more
When a young man who you know and work with praises China, socialism, and Mamdani while claiming to defend women’s rights, the contradictions expose a deeper problem: a generation raised on slogans instead of history, economics, and consistency. It started innocently enough. A casual after-work, workplace chat with an articulate young man and a friend … Read more
Today, on the Morning Update, Democrats have always promised all sorts of “free” things. They also claim they will tax the rich to pay for them. What they don’t tell you is that you, workaday Jane and Joe, are “The Rich” they’re talking about. Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel if the Embedded Video does … Read more
