The black box redactions on Nashua’s Performing Arts Center legal invoices were not a mistake. They were reviewed and approved by the City’s Legal Office. When I wrote last week about Nashua’s “Epstein-style” redactions, I left open the possibility that the City might claim error. Maybe someone inexperienced had over-redacted. Maybe a clerk panicked. Maybe … Read more
Today on the Morning Update, remember when Dan Crenshaw was a breath of fresh air in DC. Not exactly MAGA or a Trump homer, but he spoke truth to common sense and the establishment. Everyone wanted him to keynote their events. Then he became the establishment we all despised, and that finally cost him his … Read more
One does not need to be in Nashua to be familiar with Ward 8’s biggest loudmouth, Rep. Laura Telerski. She always has something to say, no matter the level of government, and she delights in airing her opinion at every opportunity. She’s akin to that FOOL that’s mentioned in Proverbs 18:2. On the heels of … Read more

The proglodyte response to Trump’s decapitation strikes in Iran are nothing short of a multiple personality disorder where none ot the personalities are interesting or remotely sane. Usually one of them is lucid, but none of that here. That makes for low-hanging fruit that’s easy to pick. Another angle as old as the Islamic Republic … Read more

You remember COGE (Commission on Government Efficiency), don’t you? Kelly Ayotte’s answer to DOGE, which she packed with NHGOP insiders, her cronies, and her donors.
