Introduction In his polemical essay against school vouchers, Andru Volinsky trades on well-worn tropes: that public education is a pillar of democracy, that vouchers threaten social equity, and that the Civil Rights Movement should be invoked to shield the status quo. Yet this rhetorical sleight-of-hand obscures deeper truths. Public education in America was not built … Read more
The infamous Democrat scold, Jeanne Dietsch, has been struggling to find political relevance for years. Since being booted from her very short stint in the NH State Senate, she has launched project after project, unable to accumulate meaningful traction because – let’s be honest – they are little different from the rest of the Left’s … Read more
Jake Tapper continues his rehabilitation tour, promoting his book, “Original Sin.” He boldly appears on many podcasts, but I have yet to see him being grilled by Brett Baer or Sean Hannity on FOX News. Doing podcast interviews and softball sessions on his home network, CNN is tantamount to getting a one Hail Mary penance … Read more
Deal-making is said to be President Trump’s specialty, yet after five rounds of indirect talks with Iran, most recently just days ago, we seem as far away from an agreement as ever. The fifth round ended last Friday with no breakthrough, but at least no breakdown. However, each day that passes without a document signed … Read more

The former First Lady of the United States (FFLOTUS) was known for being prickly about how people referred to the wife of the then recently “elected,” though (at the time) still contested, future President Joe Biden. It’s “Dr.” Jill, they said, which for someone with even a legitimate Ed.D from a respectable univiersity is something … Read more
Amid this day of remembrance, it saddens this veteran when watching today’s protests, but more aggravating are the “bones of contention.” Unbelievably, this ongoing discord centers upon the very source that grants our freedom to protest, our own beautiful country! During the past century, the cancer of communism has been left alone to percolate within … Read more
NH Outright posted flyers in Nashua and on social media targeting kids as young as 11. The flyers invite children to join a “support group for middle and high school LGBTQIA+ youth.” The QR code on the flyer links to a form that collects the child’s name, phone number, email address, pronouns, and “identities.” Related: … Read more
Most people assume there’s a method to the madness when it comes to redistricting every 10 years. Having voted in the 2nd largest city for so long and having only been paying attention to such things for a short while, I became somewhat simple minded. Nashua has a population of about 90,000, and it also … Read more
Our country has had many phases over its relatively short life. From those brave men and women who boarded ships in Europe and headed West, unsure where they would land or what they would find, we have grown together, unfortunately, apart. We are a mere child pushing 250 years, while Greece has been around since … Read more
Earlier in the week, New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte signed HB551, which repealed the requirement for an additional local retail license to lawfully sell firearms in the Granite State. Firearms dealers are already required to have a federal firearms license (FFL), which the previous Administration was systematically turning into a trap. Numerous FFLs I know … Read more
The air feels heavier on Memorial Day, as if the weight of sacrifice lingers in the breeze. Across the nation, flags ripple at half-mast, and quiet moments of reflection unfold in cemeteries, homes, and hearts. This is not a day for barbecues alone or casual ushering in summer. It is a sacred pause, a collective … Read more
On August 10, 1915, British physicist Henry Mosely—who would’ve likely won the Nobel Prize that year—died in perhaps the most disastrous error mankind has thus far made, The First World War (1914-18). Bright and pious fellow humans that had absorbed German, French, British, Russian “identities”; students, fathers, engineers, “great minds,” and “experts,” who even shared … Read more

Kelli Stavast doesn’t get enough credit. She’s the (former?) NBC Pit Reporter at the Talladega Motor Speedway who, when interviewing Brandon Brown, conveniently interpreted the chant F*ck Joe Biden (during a live interview) as Let’s Go Brandon. The rest is history. George Floyd, on the other hand, got far more credit than was his due. … Read more
I just got my new jetpack, and my new micro-helicopter, so I won’t be using the roads anymore. Who do I see about getting my ‘road dollars’ back? What, you say? There’s no such thing? We just pay for the roads, and whoever wants to use them can? And because anyone can use them, we … Read more
Texas stands at a crossroads, and the 2026 U.S. Senate race is shaping up to be a seismic clash that will shake the Lone Star State to its core. On one side, we have Ken Paxton, Texas Attorney General, a relentless champion of conservative values and a loyal ally of President Donald Trump. On the other hand, … Read more
Several stories broke in the past few days about the Biden Administration’s mishandling of the pandemic. Try as I might, I couldn’t get them both into the title. The Democrat Administration was hiding dangerous COVID-19 vaccine side effects from the public while labeling people concerned about harmful side effects as dangerous, violent extremists. First. “The … Read more
Reciprocal relief over a UK-US trade deal has boosted markets and allayed anxieties on both sides of the Atlantic. Yet, many voices in the United Kingdom are skeptical of US agricultural products, especially beef. The difference in farming techniques of the two nations is at the root of the friction, displaying a problem called “non-tariff … Read more
New York’s massive Empire Wind project has received the green light from the White House in exchange for the approval of two natural gas pipelines that would have to travel through New York State. When the news first broke that President Trump’s White House had agreed to let the offshore wind development proceed, I was … Read more
