In a 2022 article titled “Will the U.S. Supreme Court ever get around to overruling the shame of Dred Scott?” the surprising proposition is advanced that the1857 Dred Scott case is “still precedent” in the United States, and that “racist lawyers and racist judges can (blatantly or discreetly) rely on it in their arguments and rulings.” Like … Read more
The modern identity politics race pimps peddling Critical Race Theory and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion tell us that reverse racism is impossible. It is not a thing. Black people can hate whites and deny them opportunities or jobs or even rental space, and that’s not discrimination. I would argue that you can do all those … Read more
I’m sure many people are hoping that I will let it go, but I won’t. 88 Rs voted to obstruct access to public records last spring by supporting the RTK tax, aka HB 1002. 22 of them are no longer in office and I’m pleased to say that one of those 22 is former Judiciary … Read more
Some members of the legislature believe that public schools are no longer “fixable.” They want universal state-funded spending accounts to allow all students, rich or poor, to escape public schools. They call it “school choice,” but it’s really an insidious transfer of power to the state. Yes, public schools are a uniform mess, but the … Read more
I could not think of a more upbeat topic to discuss on the day I mark my 1,500 article. I started posting on Conservative View From New Hampshire four years ago when I felt a need to help promote the conservative view of political happenings, formulate and express my thoughts, and stimulate conversation and debate. … Read more
Moving the clocks ahead an hour or back an hour is one of those cultural things that gets a fair bit of attention. It screws some of us up, and our pets don’t when their dinner time is. Come to think of it, neither do we. Body clocks are scrambled a bit for many. People … Read more
As Christians around the world prepare to celebrate Christmas, a hell has been unleashed inside Syria with the seizure of the country by the re-named “al-Qaeda in Syria” now called Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). Its leader is a former deputy commander of ISIS, Abu Mohammed al-Julani. While neocons and the mainstream media in the US and Europe … Read more
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard oral argument in this term’s marquee case, United States v. Skrmetti. The case, out of Tennessee, nominally involves a state law banning minors’ use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for purposes of so-called gender-affirming care — which, stripped of all euphemism, means genital mutilation and chemical castration. And the … Read more
This is a tremendous post-election holiday season. People are happy, laughing, and looking forward to a fantastic, prosperous future. The Democrats, specifically the radical Left, looked forward to Donald Trump in prison orange within a frame of bars. Instead, they cower as they watch Donald Trump sound the bell to open the trading day with … Read more
Many people are familiar with the divisive concepts of Critical Race Theory (CRT). The best-known examples are the notion of “white privilege” and the redefinition of racism as “power plus privilege.” These concepts have been widely rejected, and even banned from public schools in some states. However, less often remarked upon is CRT’s more pernicious … Read more
Sunday, December 15, marks the 233rd anniversary of the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution, known as the Bill of Rights. It is essential to point out that the Bill of Rights did not grant or give rights to anyone. Rights come from God, and the main reason for government at any level is … Read more
The US State Department’s Global Engagement Center (GEC) was originally authorized and funded for eight years, and that time has ended. The current Defense funding bill provides no joy or taxpayer dollars to finance its purpose: to identify and censor (or suppress) global terrorism online, which pivoted to silencing center-right political populism beginning in 2016 … Read more
I opened this morning’s email to a group memo from former Alderman Teeboom, known locally as the author of the original cap. There’s so much to say about the cap, its history (SB 52 of 2021 and HB 1342 of 2022), and city baggage (including litigation) associated with it, but I’ll cut to the chase … Read more
The Vermont resident in charge of the Federal Aviation Administration – which has some oversight over drone operation – is on the hot seat as the NY/ northern New Jersey Drone Mystery continues. A Pennsylvania state senator told Michael Whitaker of Norwich she will introduce a resolution allowing states to destroy drones deemed a threat. … Read more
The state of New Hampshire is a great place except for family court, election integrity, too much dependence on federal money, institutionalized child-sex predation, electricity prices, and jackpot justice. Wow, Steve, that sounds like a terrible place. It’s not awful. Better than most. We have a low total tax burden, increasing liberty, and a great … Read more
Vermont’s unaffordability crisis is most visibly driven by high taxes that come directly out of our pockets: sky-high property taxes, above-average sales taxes, fees on our electric bills, the new payroll tax, etc. A “clean heat” surcharge on fuel bills would be easy to spot. But the mandates our legislators saddle local businesses with – … Read more
Joe Biden has been less visible since the election, which does not mean he has been idle. It means that he is doing things under the radar that are not necessarily in America’s best interest. One decision that does not have a direct impact on us but does say much about the ethics of the … Read more
A recent FOX NFL Sunday pregame show featured former New England Patriots Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, and Julian Edelman together on the panel taking questions and having fun. It was great to watch. Former Pats coach Bill Belichick’s name naturally came up and the former New England stars were asked about rumors that Belichick was looking at … Read more
A RECENT op-ed published in the Union Leader by Nashua Aldermen Tim Sennott, Tom Lopez and Melbourne Moran highlighted the need for aldermen and city leaders to rein in spending. Board members should view spending as a nonpartisan issue, recognizing the financial limitations that our citizens funding government face. While the op-ed raised important points, … Read more
