What Does My America Look Like

We use many catchphrases to talk about the America we conservatives want to return to. The America of Old, My Father’s America, and the Trump favorite, Make America Great Again, are a few, but what do they really mean? Before we define our America, let’s distinguish what it is not. America is not a global … Read more

Free Speech is Worth Fighting For

We do not have free speech to talk about the weather. Our Founders, particularly James Madison who drafted the Bill of Rights, understood that our rights are not privileges granted to us by government. No, it was understood at the founding that these basic natural rights outlined by Madison were granted by our Creator and … Read more

Gay Guy for US Senate!

NBC Boston’s coverage of Congresscritter Chris ‘Norovirus’ Pappas’ US Senate run anouncement starts with, he’s Gay! He’s also gay! “He is the first openly gay man to represent the state in Congress and would be the first openly gay man in the Senate if he wins.” And his restaurant once killed a guy, after which … Read more

A Big French Kiss In The Senate Chamber

Special Interests Versus the Children

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

Forget The Cheese, Check Out This Sunshine

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

An Open Letter to Senate Commerce Members

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.

Competition and the Purpose of Educational Choice

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

Trading One Bunch of A**holes for Another …

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

UNH Budget Cuts? – I Have Suggestions

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.
