The NH Suicide Prevention Council (NHSPC) is hosting a breakfast for lawmakers on Wednesday to push its social agenda which includes opposing parents’ rights, indoctrinating children with gender ideology, and sex-change procedures for minors. The council uses the trans suicide myth to blackmail lawmakers into voting against protecting children from gender ideology and experimental medicine … Read more
The Danes are an interesting lot. They publish research proving that polar ice and polar bears are fine while being all in on the not-so-renewable energy fad. They were big on the wind before there was a big wind, and for years, it has been painfully evident that it’s not going to work, but they … Read more
In a recent op-ed on the left-leaning InDepthNH, former Rep. Marjorie Porter opposed a proposed NH House rules change that will be debated on Wednesday. Unfortunately she failed to describe the proposal, opposing it on the basis that other states have bad practices (they do) which are like this (they aren’t). Let’s start with current practice and … Read more
The words “Housing Crisis” have achieved epidemic status next to “overdose deaths,” “Bird Flu,” and if you are one for reminiscing, everything about the COVID thing. It is a topic with a polarizing quality whose solutions I have inferred might not be so good for New Hampshire. A less frequently cited problem in housing “issues” … Read more
On January 3, New York Judge Juan Merchan rejected President-Elect Donald Trump’s request that his “hush money” convictions be vacated based on the US Supreme Court’s presidential immunity decision in Trump v. United States. Merchan has scheduled a “sentencing” of Donald Trump for January 10, in which no incarceration will be imposed. What’s the point? Sensationalist … Read more
We have become a nation adrift in a sea of government overreach, abuse and corruption. The following is a sobering account of the challenges we faced in 2024, which were marked by the government’s never-ending power grabs and relentless assaults on our civil liberties. 2024 saw a continued rise in government overreach and abuse of … Read more
I wrote this last year, but with a new session just a few days away, I thought this might be a good time to revisit it. Elected officials who use social media accounts to report on their duties, votes, bills, hearings, or anything similar are setting themselves up to get sued if they block people … Read more
The debate over immigration is working out perfectly for the deep state. Donald Trump is calling on the CIA and the FBI to “get involved” in domestic policing. At the same time, MAGA conservatives are begging the US government to impose a vast new surveillance state on Americans in the name of stopping illegal aliens. For at … Read more
The suspect in Thursday’s exploding Cyber Truck incident in Las Vegas had obtained an online degree at Vermont’s Norwich University. The deceased suspect, Matthew Livelsberger, age 37, attended the Northfield-based school before becoming a U.S. Army Green Beret. The school sent the following statement to VDC. “Above all, our hearts go out to those impacted,” wrote … Read more
Bow administrators decided to double down after they issued No-Tresspass orders to parents who attended a girl’s soccer game in the Fall. Three spectators wore pink wristbands with XX written on them to express their support for girls-only soccer. The three pushed back and took the school district to court, citing their right to free … Read more

There is a proposal to deny guaranteed public hearings for bills in Rule 44. The Full House will vote on this proposal to change Rule 44, … Read more
It all began with a simple question. In October, I wanted to verify the balance in a special fund (Capital Reserve Fund) set up for the maintenance of the Performing Arts Center, which opened on April 1, 2023. The City’s Board of Aldermen (BOA) approved this fund in August 2023. It was meant to be … Read more
It is no secret that Wikipedia is part of the #woke media complex. Its editors are a cabal of Pharisees, and the content is increasingly suspect, even on topics like science. What was once intended as an encyclopedia by the people is one by certain people with a very narrow left-wing sense of meaning meant … Read more
On his last day in office, James Madison delivered what might be history’s most significant – and overlooked – presidential veto. This was in response to the Bonus Bill in 1817 – an infrastructure bill, what they referred to as “internal improvements.” In a rare example of both integrity and adherence to the Oath of … Read more
Aside from the obvious charms of the state’s natural beauty, its variety of coastline, lakes, hills, and mountains, its plentiful ice cream shops, and its abundant maple syrup, humans have created additional benefits of living here. Below are five man-made reasons to be thankful for calling the “live free or die” state home. Capt. John … Read more
Following the loss of their supermajority in the 2024 General Election, Democrat leaders in the State House seem willing to reconsider or even potentially abandon some climate and environmental policies they have long championed. We’ll update you on another much more distressing Vermont National connection, which is the Norwich grad who was inside that Tesla … Read more
Biden’s FCC reinstituted (Obama-Era) net neutrality rules in April. They were suspended in August while a challenge lounged around in the federal court system. It only took four months, but the 6th Circuit has trashed the rules and told the FCC that it lacks the authority to regulate in this manner. The Federal Communications Commission … Read more
Here’s a quick (bonus!) finger-in-the-eye sort of post. Comma-Lah seems to have forgotten the pledge of allegiance (*assuming she ever knew it, of course). Grok Shot: Kamala Forgets* the Pledge of Allegiance
I ran into a tweet from Wyoming Senator John Barrasso congratulating Tim Scott for being the longest-serving Black Senator in American history. I join Barrasso in congratulating him, but my immediate question was if Ms Melanie Levesque would do so also. In the past several election cycles, Melanie appeared to have enjoyed pointing out her … Read more
I doubt there’s scientific research on it, but I’ve had this idea niggling at the back of my mind for a while. Anecdotally, how likely is your voting district to blue-shift based on the number of apartments you allow developers to add? We know that urban areas overwhelmingly vote Democrat. These places had a lot … Read more
