And ideological ones as well. I would think that Lloyd Alter, a former architect, entrepreneur, and professor at Toronto Metropolitan University, would better grasp small and large numbers and how they interplay for setting Contexts. Yes, with a capital “C” as he, along with many other Eco-Socialists, continuously try to use “small number anecdotes” to … Read more
Just days before Christmas, we followed up on the 197 missing votes in Windham originally reported back in November. Observers from the Secretary of State’s Office had released a report on their experience but made no mention of the difference between the number of ballots and the number of votes. Tom Murray and Ken Eyring … Read more
This government “will swallow the liberties of the people, without giving them previous notice.” That’s one of many stark warnings Patrick Henry gave us in 1788. In a series of fiery speeches during the Virginia Ratifying Convention, he laid out some of the most powerful anti-Federalist arguments against the Constitution. He predicted all kinds of abuses … Read more
The Bow School District (Bow) tried to get away with intimidating parents and denying them their constitutional rights, and the Concord Monitor (CM) attempted to provide air cover. Ann Marie Banfield visited this on Sunday. Bow thinks it can suppress the constitutional right to peaceful protest. The School District is in a court battle and … Read more
At this point, President Joe Biden — the absent president, the ghost president — could only salvage a snippet of his legacy if he awarded John Daly with the Presidential Medal of Freedom and decreed that henceforth, every summer will be “White Boy Summer.” Biden, instead, is handing out participation trophies for some of the … Read more
The silent crisis of the United Nations continues to move our nation into world government. Nevertheless, it is respected and protected by “deep state” control of government and the legacy media. Why is UN danger ignored? The UN is based on an ideology that the government is the grantor of human rights. It is the … Read more
Then it Became Condescending and Orwellian So “Bard” was one of the names for Google’s earlier Artificial Intelligence forays, and I decided, given what others were doing then, to “test” it a bit. The common complaint, back in its early days (otherwise called January 2024), was that it would not answer direct questions asked by … Read more

From my perch and particular time in life, there has been this continuing growth of a fundamental absence, an essence that was practically universal during our Founding. More concerning is that this missing link has become ingrained within portions of our elected leaders. Specifically, what’s missing is a basic love of country, which entails the … Read more
This will be our 5th piece on a proposed NH House Rule Change (over just three days). The change, as explained to us, would allow committees to table any bill, meaning no public hearing. Save time and streamline. Eliminate redundancy. That was the plan, and everyone I’ve since heard was on board. It had bi-partisan … Read more
In the most significant act of Vice President Harris’s term, she declared Donald J. Trump the victor of the November election and the 47th President of the United States. Trump is the man who rose from political death, overcame a legal assault by Joe Biden’s Justice Department, and an all-out assault by a biased media … Read more
With the Republicans holding full authority in the NH Senate, NH Reps, Exec Board and Governorship here in NH. In Washington DC, Republicans own the House and Senate along with the President of the US. So why would a Republican County Commissioner of Rockingham County (a PRO-Republican County), choose a Democrat from Portsmouth to become … Read more
I wandered over to a different Grok, X’s AI, and found this headline. META Ditches Fact-Checkers for Community Notes. Who doesn’t click on that? Here’s what it said. Multiple Media reports confirm this as accurate. As many of our readers have been banned, thrown in Facebook Jail, and throttled by Meta, we look forward to … Read more
Contrary to what Rep. Dan McGuire writes, the proposed rule change to allow committees to table bills without a hearing is a transparent attempt to block the people’s voice. More insidiously, it can be used to shut down what leadership considers “extremist” positions within their own party. A 75% vote in committee to “table” a … Read more
There’s a lot of injustice in the world, and not all its victims have a voice. Enter New Hampshire State Representative Mike Bordes. He’s a ‘republican’ from the Lakes region who voted to allow abortions in the late months of pregnancy. He’s also anti-parental rights and blocked efforts to remove porn from public schools, which … Read more
On Wednesday, January 8, 2025, the full New Hampshire House will meet to discuss and vote on proposed changes to the House rules. One of those changes, an amendment to House rules 44-52, would be an undemocratic change to the current legislative process in New Hampshire by preventing the public from speaking and voicing their opinion on … Read more
Vermont voters screamed that affordability is the number one issue we want the legislature to address in 2025. While lawmakers have little control over what we pay for eggs and hamburger, what they do have control over – total control over at the state level — is what we pay in taxes, fees, and regulatory … Read more
This Week, Bill and Mike discuss New Year’s Resolutions, rising homelessness, Vermont’s growing crime problem, a recent lawsuit challenging its climate antics, and the benefits of living in New Hampshire.
The tragedy in New Orleans and the car explosion outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas were horrific events in themselves. Still, the reaction and cover-up by authorities are as horrific and insulting. The people charged with keeping us safe by preventing incidents like the ones we experienced on New Year’s Eve are racing … Read more
President-elect Donald Trump has a big job ahead of him in restoring common sense and sanity to federal energy policy when he takes office on January 20. The last four years in this realm can more accurately be characterized as a series of ill-considered, irrational scams than as any sort of coherent, productive set of … Read more
