When I was counsel to the New Hampshire Department of Security, I was summoned to federal jury duty. I begged off because an NH statute precluded my position from jury service. The gods in the Federal District decided a state statute did not bind them. I was ordered to appear for federal jury service. The … Read more

“Does Character In Public Life Still Matter,” was supposed to be one of Joe Biden’s most potent lines of his speech from the Oval Office last Wednesday, but it fell as flat as his comb-over. We will explain why, but first, some general comments on a speech derided on the Right and lauded on the … Read more
New Ham Last week, Gov. Chris Sununu signed the state’s first law pertaining to these programs, which will fund a Department of Revenue Administration study on the potential lost timber tax revenue and require the Division of Forestry to create a registry of all carbon offset sites in the state.

For those who don’t have their copy of the Anti-Federalist Papers handy, here are some quotes: Cato No. 4 (possibly written by George Clinton but definitely not by this George Clinton): “He is not … Read more
I work seven days a week, so making time for other things often requires a bit of juggling. I know how to juggle (both time and objects), so this is not outside my wheelhouse. And when I got an invite to be part of the Tall Ships parade in Porstough Friday, I was like, YES! … Read more
I have a plethora of thoughts about the Presidential election. There are so many topics that lead from one to another, but I’ll highlight a few. I have serious concerns about where our country is headed. We have the Democrats that are pulling so many shenanigans that are obviously unconstitutional, in the open, with no … Read more
Concerned that rapid development threatened critical agricultural resources, Indiana’s Legislature in 2023 commissioned a study to determine the status of the state’s farmland. Noting that most agricultural land loss neighbored cities and suburban areas, the study concluded that Indiana lost 345,682 acres of farmland between 2010 and 2022. As Bill Gates and China notoriously gobble up … Read more
Kamala Harris was never very gifted as a politician, public speaker, or much else, but she must be good at being ruthless and unforgiving – and perhaps networking and extortion. Otherwise, she’d be working for Gavin Newsom or some other left-coast liberal clown. As lunch would have it, she’s our clown and is desperately seeking … Read more
My RTK journey began almost 2 years ago when the City of Nashua was appraised for new property values (Laurie Ortolano has a wealth of examples to supplement mine). Shocked by my personal copy of their report, I sought to know specific methods in which specific types of properties were appraised, compared to one another, … Read more
Nathaniel Grigsby died in 1890 and was interred at the Attica Cemetery in Attica, Kansas. The epitaph on his tombstone reads: “Through this inscription, I wish to enter my dying protest against what is called the Democratic party. I have watched it closely since the days of Jackson and know that our nation’s misfortunes have come … Read more
If you traveled 1000 miles and asked 100 People, depending on their age, if New Hampshire was a border state, almost no one would guess yes. And if it weren’t for the First in the Nation Primary, once you got away from the northeast, I doubt anyone would know the state exists. The fact that … Read more
Dear Goffstown Republican voters: please don’t elect a Democrat campaigning as a conservative in your upcoming September 10 primary. Yes, he has served on Goffstown boards for many, many years, but is Goffstown better off for it? Back in March, Peter Georgantas, Goffstown’s current Select Board chair, motioned to NOT recommend and then voted against … Read more
Shortly after that mask the media and Democrats had placed over Joe Biden’s dementia slipped, the left went all in on connecting Project 2025 to Donald Trump. I noticed it in the meme world first, but I had no idea what it was. Neither did Donald Trump. President Trump’s plan is called Agenda 47. Project … Read more
New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (AOC) recent announcement of impeachment charges against the US Supreme Court’s two most conservative justices appears entirely political in both motive and timing. Democrat Senators have sought to tag-team with AOC by calling for a special counsel investigation of the same justices in an effort seemingly designed to give a … Read more
As I write this on 7/25, the MACHINE has been busy rewriting history. Kamala Harris was never … NEVER … in charge of the border. Kamala Harris was not … NOT … a DEI hire. Etc., etc., etc.. The MACHINE-media is editing articles from the beginning of the BidenX-figurehead-Presidency to support the MACHINE-narrative … WE … Read more
Ask yourself about the tactic of repetitive messaging. It’s not just a political tool but also an advertising mainstay. It is believed that to repeat an advertising ‘come on’ three times is to heighten the public’s retention. This explains why the telephone number is usually repeated three times. Carry that ploy into politics or into … Read more
Of course, we knew this was coming. In fact, they told us so. It was one of the very first Behind the Lines stories back on January 30, 2023 (I started this column on January 11th of that year) that shared the video clip of The Conservation Law Foundation’s Chase Whiting testifying to the Senate Committee on Natural … Read more
Former President Donald Trump continues running the most issue-focused campaign our nation has ever seen. You would not know it if you followed only the mainstream media echo chambers, but the truth is that our 45th president has been rolling out a detailed and bold policy agenda for over a year. His recent focus has … Read more
According to the far left internet-based encycloedia Wikipedia, which is veritably controlled by a group of clearly leftist editors who vigilantly prevent specific narratives from display on its pages, the New World Order (NWO) is a conspiracy theory. This is in spite of the documented, factual reality that over the course of the past century, … Read more
