Democrats are in full retreat from the Clean Heat Standard law (Act 18) they passed in 2023. The carbon credit (aka carbon tax) on home heating fuels was and is a policy and political disaster. Vermonters want to see it repealed. Privately, a meaningful chunk of Democrats want to see it repealed. But there is … Read more
Keith and Teserse talk with education and parental advocate Ann Marie Banfield in Hour One on what dismantling the Federal Dept. of Education could mean for New Hampshire. And is the backlash and destruction against Tesla owners and Elon Musk domestic Terrorism? Contributor Julian Acciard joins the show as well. Plus, the weekly rant, and … Read more
Growing up homeschooled in New Hampshire meant that after I learned my “ABC’s” and “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,” my parents quickly taught me the “Preamble Song” by Schoolhouse Rock!. If you’re not familiar with it, the song is – as the title suggests—the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution set to a catchy tune. As the … Read more
When our brilliant forefathers got together nearly 250 years ago, they were a collection of the most brilliant men in the land. They not only created a document that was a blueprint for a new government and country but were able to project how that piece of paper would need to endure men and women … Read more
New Hampshire’s housing shortage, and the price spike that it created, has made housing the No. 1 problem facing the state, according to University of New Hampshire polling. Fixing the state’s housing shortage is such a priority for voters that a 2024 UNH poll found more than 1/3 of voters rating it as the top problem, … Read more
Cameras are everywhere, but this a-hol never guessed they’d be on the vehicle he was keying. And he couldn’t find his keys fast enough to do the deed. Busted! This might be a good time to revisit an article from yesterday. I did a quick search for ‘Tesla’ at some local handmaiden media outlets and … Read more
President Donald Trump recently posted that the U.S. could join the Commonwealth of Nations. The idea is intriguing and one that, once the prejudice against it is sorted through, has tremendously positive implications for America and its members. First, it is important to know what the Commonwealth is not. It is no longer a British organization by power … Read more
Limbo, in the theological sense, is a place where souls not condemned to hell await judgment. New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte announced yesterday that she has put AG John Formella in limbo. She needs additional time to evaluate his office before deciding on whether to keep or discard him. CONCORD, NH – Today, Governor Kelly Ayotte’s … Read more
I just looked at an event flyer for the 2025 Greater Nashua Public Health Week Kickoff Event on Monday 4/7. When Grokster Beth Scaer showed it to me, her caption said, “It’s the third year in a row that they have moved the kickoff inside after I attended the kickoff on the city hall plaza … Read more
or years, the war in Ukraine has been a deep wound on the global stage—an unending quagmire fueled by establishment warmongers and ineffective leadership. Enter President Donald J. Trump, who vowed to end conflicts, not prolong them. In his second term, Trump has wasted no time demonstrating that his brand of America First diplomacy can … Read more

In 1993 the NH Supreme Court discovered a “hidden-in-plain-sight” constitutional “duty” of our State “legislators” to “cherish,” i.e, fund, an “adequate” education in “public schools.” Historically public schools were locally funded. Despite two ongoing lawsuits disputing the amount of State funding necessary for this obligation, legislators now propose to expand taxpayer obligations to fund both … Read more
I did a quick search for ‘Tesla’ at some local handmaiden media outlets and the results were less than encouraging (though, entirely expected). Democrats are committing violent acts, arson, and defacing private property but no one around these parts seems to want to cover that. WMUR has one article, but it does not ask any … Read more
Suppose someone said: I live in this state, but that state offers more generous welfare benefits. So I should be able to live here, but collect benefits from there. Or suppose someone said: I live in this county, but that county has a better nursing home, so I’d like my elderly mother to be cared … Read more
For nearly sixty years, the question of “who really shot JFK?” has been asked by nearly anyone with a pulse who understands basic physics and never figured out who shot JR Ewing. The official government findings were released to the public under Executive Order 11130 in 1964, known as the Warren Commission Report. This twenty-six-volume … Read more
Think the American Revolution was just about taxes, tea parties, and representation? Think again. The real conflict wasn’t about a few policies. It was about power – a British claim to unlimited, centralized power “in all cases whatsoever.” James Madison later called this the “fundamental principle” on which independence itself was declared. And he was far … Read more
Part of a complete audit of how the Federal Government spends the fruits of your labors includes programs at the USDA that the Handmaiden media are breathlessly reporting as canceled. Everyone from Politico to CNN to NHPR (now GraniteGrok) is printing stories about local food banks and pantries tightening their belts. Okay, so The ‘Grok … Read more
In Trump’s first term, the Democrats enjoyed the majority position in the House of Representatives. This advantage made holding up Donald Trump’s initiatives very straightforward. They did not have to sue him in court to slow him down. They just made up reasons to Impeach the 45th President and have him spin his wheels defending … Read more
During these encouraging times, as President Trump moves to restore American sovereignty, too many think globalism is dying as fast as the New England Patriots did when Tom Brady left. Trump has initiated withdrawing from the Paris Peace Accords, UNESCO, and the WHO, and encouraging moves to defund the WEF/UN – Build Back Better and … Read more
