Corey Booker, also known as Spartacus for his off-the-wall and dramatic orations in Congress, again put himself in the spotlight this week. Since the disgraceful exit of Bob Menendez from the Senate, Booker is now the Senior Senator from New Jersey, and there may be no more enormous ego or greater narcissism in the American … Read more
Yesterday, WMUR News 9, our local ABC affiliate and the only network channel in the state of New Hampshire, did a follow-up story on the body of a dead infant found in a pond in Manchester. The focus was the state’s haven law, which is meant to prevent abandonment, but it got a few facts … Read more
Just a reminder here that former National Federation of Teachers President Albert Shanker once admitted, “When schoolchildren start paying dues, that’s when I’ll start representing the interests of schoolchildren.” True that! And watching the debate in the legislature over how to reign in public education costs and improve student outcomes, I think that sentiment resides … Read more
On March 25, six masked federal agents seized a Turkish graduate student on the streets of Somerville, Massachusetts. Rumeysa Ozturk—who was wearing a hajib—is a Fulbright scholar working on a doctorate at Tufts University. She was abducted and vanished into the maw of the federal prison system. The Trump administration ignored a federal court order … Read more

Vice President J.D. Vance and second lady Usha Vance are slated to make a historic trip to Greenland’s northwest coast and visit Pituffik Space Base, where they’ll meet our nation’s guardians and airmen on base, tour the facility, and discuss the growing importance of Arctic security in American foreign policy. The trip is historic – the first time a sitting vice president … Read more
The Handmaiden media pulled some sleight of hand this morning. They made you look at Wisconsin as the bellwether for the 2026 midterms, but not Florida. The cheese heads did something remarkable. Backed by millions from progressive oligarchs like George Soros, JB Pritzker, and Reid Hoffman, they defended a State Supreme Court seat they already … Read more
As I’ve been closely following HB 649 (removing the requirement for physical safety inspections and on-board diagnostic tests for passenger vehicles…), I’ve been trying to rally up the troops at every step of the way. Part of me is concerned with coming off as a keyboard warrior or armchair activist, as I wrote four previous … Read more
With former NASA planetary scientist and AI researcher, Ian Underwood Paul Ingbretson continues the critical Claremont Decision interviews with a New Hampshire based mathematician and former NASA scientist who offers much needed clarifying common sense about the implications of the Supreme Court’s now-infamous Claremont rulings. Missed the previous installments? Disclosure: Ian is a longtime contributor … Read more
On Thursday, decades’ worth of aged, decrepit talking points died in the New Hampshire House. Opponents of parental choice in education say the purpose of creating such choice is to “defund,” “privatize,” or “destroy” public schools. Public money should stay entirely in public schools, they say. This year, House Education Policy and Administration Chairman Glenn … Read more
If you are unfamiliar with their name, you have likely heard about how they conduct themselves. Just Stop Oil throws soup on paintings (to just stop oil paintings?), gets members run over by angry motorists (when they block highways), and does what are called direct action protests. They behave like a**holes and piss people off. … Read more
State legislators have a limited understanding of the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) mandates which have been imposed upon our public schools. They deal with many issues and it’s difficult to research each one in detail. Nor is it likely that legislators realize that federal ESSA mandates are already in place and ready to be … Read more
As UNH faces heavy budget cuts, here are some areas it could easily trim (or even get rid of) and not only save money for UNH but save New Hampshire taxpayers millions. An added bonus from such cuts would be a decrease in State cover-ups of abuse of federal funds in cases relating to DCYF … Read more

The Office of Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services referred the State of Maine to the U.S. Department of Justice on Friday — one day after the Maine Principals’ Association (MPA) and Cumberland’s Greeley High School announced they refused to sign a voluntary resolution agreement the federal agency proposed after … Read more
Not all District Court Judges are likely to be plant-based, ham-handed left-wing shills. A few might assume that the government is at fault and save taxpayers loads of money on cases where it should have behaved differently. Take the latest flag pole discrimination case. The City of Nashua, New Hampshire, was obvious and blatant in … Read more
Vermont Attorney General Charity Clark has declared by para-executive order anyone who can provide video evidence they have vandalized a Tesla will be given a $50,000 voucher toward the vehicle of their choice redeemable at any dealership in the state to celebrate National Tesla Vandals Day. National Tesla Vandals Day won out over other popular … Read more
Last week I set a horde of angry Trump supporters on my tail. I was accused of being some nutty Democrat, left-wing stooge. That’s a first, so thanks for that, box checked, and a lesson in how not to write a sentence. I was enumerating positions held by both sides concerning Trump, his EOs, swamp … Read more
In today’s society, the protection of children and families is outpaced by an ever-growing number of consortiums seeking to exploit systems for personal gain. Such organizations represent the worst of profiteers by wrapping themselves in narratives that are designed to gain public support without being transparent. The lack of transparency comes in many forms, existing … Read more
If Democrats want to move the needle in 2026 (in their political favor) they might consider the crime problem. Democrats are defending illegal alien criminals, including violent gang members. Democrats are not denouncing crimes. Democrat rhetoric sounds criminal (threats, anger, etc). Democrats lost in 2024 in part by being soft on crime. Democrats are committing … Read more
