Starting about a month ago, a new tell-all book from someone within the Joe Biden administration or the mainstream media hit the shelves every Tuesday. These books give us a firsthand look into the Biden White House and Biden himself, documenting an honest assessment of not only when Biden began his mental decline but also … Read more
Let’s get the “say something nice” part out of the way before the attack. I met Community Loan Fund lobbyist Tara Reardon on 2/15/23 after a Senate Executive Departments committee hearing for a trailer park bill. She supported what I said into the mic and followed me out into the hall and introduced herself when … Read more
On April 1, Federal Title X, family planning funds were frozen for Planned Parenthood Northern New England (PPNNE) facilities. $2 million in funds were frozen in Maine and $500,000 in New Hampshire. The New Hampshire Executive Council stopped distributing Title X family planning funds to the PPNNE facilities four years ago because they provide abortions. … Read more
As you may or may not know, virtual, online, ZOOM Commissioners’ Meetings were “blacked-out,” “shut down,” canceled,” by “the Chairman of the Board,” Martha McLeod, as of April 22, 2025 so that no Grafton County residents can see & listen to the meetings in real time. This type of censorship is something that is done … Read more
Topline: The IRS estimated in December 2024 that its new Direct File tax return system would cost the government $61.1 million for an estimated 2.3 million users, or about $27 per person.

A teachable moment (for others, not Bernie, who will never learn). Our senior senator made big news last week in an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier. When the anchor confronted Sanders about the $221,000 he and Representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortez have spent so far on private jets during their Fighting the Oligarchy tour, as … Read more
No Proglodyte resume is complete without at least one arrest. Deranged Tesla-defacing felons are proud bearers of this distinction, but that fad has lost its shine. The latest thing is ICE officers and immigration deportation. That Mayor in New Jersey got himself a date with a judge, and that judge in Milwaukee’s weepy arrest photo … Read more
The College of Cardinals had not checked their email yet, as their isolation ended after electing a successor to fill the spot vacated by the death of Pope Francis, and Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi was urging the new Pope, Leo XIV, to intervene with Donald Trump and try to negotiate relief for anyone labeled an illegal … Read more
A superintendent and an attorney for a public school that prohibited a young student from wearing a shirt that states “There are only two genders” now claim the school did not discipline her, and that it has consistently “[done its] very best to protect free speech in schools.” These officials are using local media to … Read more
Six years ago, in Massachusetts, Newton District Judge Shelley M. Joseph knowingly helped an illegal criminal alien escape ICE by escorting him through her chambers and out the Jury door. She turned herself in and was indicted on four charges but managed to slow-walk her way to a dismissal by the then-Biden DOJ in 2022. … Read more
I do not often write about personal topics, but there have been occasions where my personal experience tied into the day’s conversation. Coming off of Easter, Passover, the election of a new Pope, and the coming to a crossroads in religion for myself, today’s article is an exception. I enjoy reading comments in response to … Read more
Paediatric gender dysphoria has rapidly emerged as one of the most divisive and urgent issues in medicine today. In the past decade, the number of children and adolescents identifying as transgender or nonbinary has soared. In the US alone, diagnoses among youth aged 6 to 17 nearly tripled—from around 15,000 in 2017 to over 42,000 by 2021—signalling … Read more

Nearly 1.4 billion Roman Catholics breathed a sigh of relief yesterday as the wait for the next Pope to be drafted concluded with the traditional signal of accomplishment as the Holy Spirit pours forth from the holy chimney courtesy of the holy smokes machine. A palpable sound of relief emitted from the onlookers as the … Read more
If Sandy Cortez had a penis, she’d be David Hogg. He is an obnoxious, far-left, neo-Marxist, and so is she. They appeal to the disenfranchised ‘utes’ who were “graduated” despite being unable to read or do math at grade level, while reminding senior socialists of an image they can claim for themselves in moments of … Read more
Zoning is an institution often misunderstood by many, myself included, so let’s delve into a 22-page treatise written by the founder of the Free State Project. To use Ray Guarino’s favorite word, ACRIMONIOUS, as many recent discussions, both online and in person, have been just that, so it’s important to say that I mean zero … Read more
It’s Teacher Appreciation Week and Granite Staters are again being subjected to the claim that teachers here earn less than they should because legislators are stingy. Given current market conditions, average teacher pay in New Hampshire is lower than it should be to recruit the best candidates. But the state’s contribution isn’t the reason. The … Read more
If asked about some issue, “Should the Towns decide or should the State decide?” many people would answer that the Towns should decide. But for many issues that is the wrong question. The right question is “Should the Towns decide or should individuals decide for themselves?” Should Towns decide what firearms you might possess? NO! … Read more
Lest anyone begin to imagine a world where having more Democrats in elected office might be different, which implies better, think again. Then think some more because the political left doesn’t want “better.” Not for you. No finer example comes to us in a recent uptick in earnings and foot traffic at Target. The retailer … Read more
