The Constitution of the United States, Article 2 Section 2, states “The President…shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States.” Let’s analyze this for a moment. In this case, an “Offense” is either a misdemeanor or a felony that has a basis in federal law. A presidential pardon can … Read more
I am unsure what I find most offensive about the National Prayer Service last Tuesday morning. The WOKE message delivered was inappropriate. The DEI Bishop who delivered the sermon was offensive, and the President, Vice President, and their families had to sit and bear it because the cameras were rolling. Trump and Vance had too … Read more
Does anyone ever stop to think that an invocation before a meeting or proceedings could be considered in a highlight reel of said meeting? Trump continues to surprise many while bewildering his critics and enemies. Trump’s Inauguration in the Capital Rotunda became a “be wonderment” moment. There were the expected prayers from the various faiths, … Read more
Let’s ask a straightforward question: Why should we spend tax money on education? The New Hampshire Constitution gives one possible answer: Education is essential to the preservation of a free government.

Yes, my output has been stymied—from writing to sharing regularly to social media updates. I am wrestling with a barrage of cold symptoms I had somehow managed to avoid for over three months. Since November, someone in my house has had a cold or flu-like something. Fevers, coughs, sniffling, sneezing. It’s been relentless. They’d get … Read more
What did we learn from the Universal School Choice HB115 hearing? More importantly, WHY do I, as a Veteran Home Educator and Home Education Advocate in NH, care so much? Well, folks, I’ll tell you. The politics of this thing are ugly. Education Freedom Accounts and “School Choice” are ideas that Republicans nationwide invented in … Read more
Hot Air: “Kamala Harris is for they/them,” the ads concluded, and “Donald Trump is for you.” I have written about this political environment before, starting when Obama first took office (paraphrased): What the heck is going on? When we started the ‘Grok, there were usually about 4, or 5 (maybe 5 or 6) major things to … Read more
The opportunity facing the Republicans is a once in a generation moment similar to the Reagan Presidency. Reagan and Trump were each succeeding two of the worst presidents ever to reside in the White House, with a resounding mandate from the voters. The Left will debate the presence of a mandate because of the relatively … Read more
It’s not often that a nigh-impossible hurdle is overcome… but here we are! President Trump issued a full and unconditional pardon to Ross Ulbricht, thereby keeping his campaign promise made to Libertarians. Righting the wrong of Ross Ulbricht’s over-sentencing is the start of the Rise of Real Crypto, but we must now focus on the … Read more
In 1986, Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan was awarded the “Seal Medallion of the Central Intelligence Agency ‘In recognition of his outstanding accomplishments as… a leader in establishing the oversight of intelligence…’” By 1995, on the first day of the first session of the 104th United States Congress, Sen. Moynihan informed his colleagues and the nation … Read more
With New Hampshire’s Legislative season back in full swing, alongside most others, and the inauguration of Donald Trump, there has been an increased interest in sharing opinions. I love this and encourage everyone to keep the electronic “cards and letters” coming. Some checks and donations would be great, too. Free independent journalism, as they say, … Read more
In yesterday’s mail, I received an item with my name and address on a sticker label, and there was no return address, at least not on the envelope. Expecting it to be some routine innocuous solicitation, I opened it and found it to be a hit piece on Terese Bastarche by Bob Burns. Terese is … Read more

This X post by therapist Sasha Ayad explains in detail why medical professionals must stop transing kids. If you are confused about what harm is being inflicted on gender-confused kids or you want to brush up before explaining it to someone else, please watch.
In a time where we need to help parents become even better parents, the Manchester School Board is going in the opposite direction. Today, the New Hampshire Senate Education Committee heard a bill (SB34) to support parental consent for Medicaid billing. In many cases, parents will sign off on Medicaid services, but services can change, … Read more
Donald Trump spent several hours after his swearing-in undoing what damage he could from the Biden regime. Hundreds of actions, from the border to ditching the Paris Climate Agreement and the WHO, opening up fossil fuel energy development and putting the brakes on Wind Farm leases. No new leases will be issued, and those in … Read more
The cartoon aardvark Arthur sang in one memorable episode, “Having fun isn’t hard when you’ve got a library card.” Unfortunately, obtaining your children’s library records IS very hard when they have a library card; in fact, it is against the law in New Hampshire and most other states! This law needs to be changed, and … Read more
All these last-minute pardons may turn out to be a blessing in disguise. You don’t have to accept a pardon. It’s offered to you. Some people have rejected the offer of a pardon, because a pardon carries with it an admission of guilt. So the first thing that needs to happen is to get the … Read more
