Gambling, for most people, is a voluntary activity, a choice. Why does the state force the rest of us to gamble on education? When gambling, players know the basic odds before playing, and accept that the house has an advantage. They put money up front and depend on chance (in a fair game) to let … Read more
Republicans went from “EFAs will help low-income, urban kids get out of failing public schools” to “Universal School Choice” so fast, I’m not sure what happened to the so-called conservatives. Political pressure? Are any of you voters asking hard questions or understanding the program enough to truly support Republicans removing the income requirement? Taxpayer funded … Read more
Despite the massive shift to the right in Vermont the town of Hartford managed to hold the line on voting for progressives this past election. Perhaps the bluest state in the union, Vermont, is now solidly purple after seeing the Senate go from a 22(D)-7(R) supermajority to a nearly dead even 16(D)-13(R) chamber. Even more … Read more
In November, I was reelected to represent the people of Allenstown, Dunbarton, Epsom, and Hooksett for another two years – thank you for your vote! I was also re-appointed chair of the Executive Departments and administration (ED&A) committee, dealing with professional licensing, the state pension system, the state building code, administrative rules, and the organization … Read more
I had heard several times during the broadcast that Jimmy Carter planned every detail of his funeral. Being a micro-manager, I doubt that he would have left this detail, the front page of the order of events, to anyone else: Indeed! The Left and the mainstream media (but I repeat myself) hate any religious mentions … Read more
Not only are they fellow Londonderry locals, but the Senate President and the Speaker are each other’s “other side of the wall” counterparts in leadership. Anyone well versed in NH civics knows that the former is an office of higher prestige than the latter. Rep Moffett even pointed out who’s next in line to become … Read more
Trump is saying a lot of things about the Panama Canal, Greenland…and, of course, Canada. Frankly, while he may be more than just “Trumping” a bit here, and trolling denizens in those areas (he’s certainly riled up most of the EU elite talking about Greenland), I think this talk is directed at someone else. I’ll … Read more
If you have not read Part 1 of the disaster in the Merrimack schools, you can read that here. You will learn why Merrimack residents are pushing back on the school budget along with the poor quality of academics. It is a good preface for looking at the other problems in the district. Merrimack has … Read more
Almost any professional profession (sorry, just HAD to do that!) has standards that they have to follow, especially if they want some letters after their names (e.g. RN, MD, PE, CPA, PMP, CEH {heh – Certified Ethical Hacker! Really, it’s a “thing”}, AWS, CSCP). Study hard and take the exams (sometimes, multiple times, like trying … Read more
Anne Kirkpatrick got the ass end of the cybersphere handed to her on New Year’s Day and for several days following it. She looked like another clueless diversity hire, a problem she failed to resolve – much like Plan B (Kamal Harris) – by opening her mouth and speaking. People died, and her response didn’t … Read more
Food rights and federalism clash in the MAHA era Legal counsel for Amish food rights activist Amos Miller claimed victory in a recent Pennsylvania decision that permits the feisty farmer to continue selling his raw milk outside of the state but not “within the Commonwealth.” The ruling permits Miller to keep his business afloat to … Read more
There may not be enough room to fit a module in on why New Hampshire is so much more successful than states like Vermont (Maine, Mass, CT, RI, NY, And so on). You’ve got all that DEI crap. Then there’s gender yoga, where you stretch reality to deliberately confuse your captured audience about whether they … Read more
This week, we discussed LA and how Vermont can prepare for or avoid a similar disaster. What’s up with the new vibe and new leaders at the State House? Top Story: Gag Order against the Burlington City Police Chief by the Mayor.

We have sad moments every year when a section of our country suffers the pain of a tragedy that takes property and, sometimes, unfortunately, innocent lives. Today, we will not discuss the senseless shootings and bombings but focus on something more widespread that impacts thousands, even millions of people. The last few months have seen … Read more
I just got my latest tax bill in the mail – once again, I’m working on TMEW to allow me out of my “never run for BudComm again if you let me serve a 3rd term,” as it seems that the Progressive-captured BudComm in my hamlet didn’t see a funding request it disliked. SideNote: Bruce … Read more
Three days ago, we shared a report regarding a woman who was refused a kidney transplant by Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) because she did not meet their immunization requirements. No COVID jab, specifically. Shannon, the patient, did not want to but bucked to the pressure and got one shot, but that was not enough. … Read more
A message went out to parents across New Hampshire about a data breach by one of their online vendors. It’s good to see that administrators are notifying parents about this data breach. But did they tell you that some of these online vendors are in court, accused of selling student data? I didn’t think so. … Read more
I’ve seen a rise in town fire department and emergency service issues reports from readers around the state. They all seem to be having problems. And? I wonder if this is how we break the SAU local school district’s death grip on property taxes. Few if any will say property taxes are low or just … Read more
Heir Apparent: “A person who is most likely to succeed in the place of another.” Jerod Mayo was Bill Belichick’s “heir apparent” as New England Patriots head coach. And so it came to pass. But Mayo’s reign was short-lived—less than a year. Some heirs are determined by birth. Pats owner Bob Kraft’s heir apparent is … Read more
