After years of making little progress on housing affordability, the Legislature finally is moving forward in large strides. As significant reforms near the finish line, a surge of advocacy has emerged for an old, failed method of addressing the state’s housing shortage: government subsidies. New Hampshire’s primary method of addressing housing affordability has long been … Read more

Whenever anyone references our Democracy, especially on social media, someone, typically several of them, feels compelled to remind anyone in range that we live in a Republic, with good reason. No one is taught that. You have to learn it on your own. You also must learn that it is a Federal Republic, and everything … Read more
Ponder the journey of evil that a newly conceived fetus must face to arrive alive in the world. Agents of death have been given the license to murder human beings created in the image of God. Enemies of God oppose life on earth, even subsidizing murder, to end life before birth with tax dollars. Will … Read more
I’m not going to say that this is precisely what I hoped would happen, but yes, I am. I did. Not long after our story broke earlier today, exposing the NH Dems’ Juneteenth African American Caucus celebration notice with the picture of a bunch of white Democrats, they changed it. It used to look like … Read more
Just weeks after the Iberian Peninsula went dark thanks to an overreliance on unreliable energy, New Orleans had 100,000 customers left in the dark. The power outage came with a three-minute warning as providers were forced to kill the juice to avoid imminent widespread and longer blackouts. Grid instability issues threatened to produce a much … Read more

To support their opposition, Democrats frequently claim, almost as an article of faith, that illegal immigrants are less prone to commit crime. “The crime rate among immigrants is far lower than the crime … Read more
The sky is blue, water is wet, and each year, about this time, the ‘ Grok reviews NOAA’s annual hurricane predictions. It’s not that we’re overly interested in hurricanes, though you’d be hard pressed to prove otherwise. There are over 100 articles in recent years on the subject, but for a good reason. The science. … Read more
As Housing bills designed to chisel away at local decision making continue to and through their 2nd chamber of the legislature, my thoughts have returned to the skilled salesman’s mantra. Know your customer. Housing bill madness is a product presented as a solution to an imaginary crisis that’s been sold to its supporters, who range … Read more
For a bunch of Marxists with white guilt, the New Hampshire Democrat party still can’t seem to get out of its own way. They lost their First Nation primary in 2024 because the local diversity scolds didn’t have any. That was according to the DNC “birthing person” (mother) ship, which claims to have stripped them … Read more
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 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
