If you have watched any of the City Council meetings for Concord, New Hampshire, in recent months, you’ll be left gasping at the level of misogyny. At the most recent City Council meeting, Mayor Byron Champlin shut down female councilor Stacey Brown. She kept her cool and made her point, sounding reasoned, logical, and methodical. … Read more
If the Left is against it, you will probably benefit somehow from keeping it or having it. It’s that simple. Dems defend illegal robbers, murderers, and child rapists, people who broke multiple laws. Arresting, jailing, and then deporting them is better for everyone, but they don’t want them deported – and will even help them … Read more

Politics and governing should never be confused. One is how a particular Party manages a city or state; the other is how the other Party distorts success and uses lies and deception to instill fear in supporters to win votes. Politics has always been a rough game, but it has evolved into a blood sport … Read more
The Dems and teachers’ unions are pulling out all the stops to oppose a property tax cap in your town, which is odd, given how much they complain about high property taxes.

One of the concerns expressed by Democrats in their fake “affordability” narrative is the cost of electricity and energy. After years of deliberate policy that made electricity in New Hampshire among the most expensive in the nation, the theory goes something like this. You are too stupid or won’t recall. Progressive energy priorities are designed … Read more
An explosive article in The Guardian found that Big Food-funded social media influencers are being paid to discredit MAHA and persuade Americans to keep eating processed food. The industrial food system that has inflicted chronic disease on Americans has never been interested in providing healthy foods for its customers. Not surprisingly, it is doubling down … Read more

Fiction had become fact in the United States. It reached a crescendo during the Black Lives Matter-Antifa riots after the death … Read more
Today, on the Morning Update, fresh news out of Europe from Americans who fled there when Trump won in 2024. They were misled. They miss America. Europe really sucks.

Senator Tim Scott (R-SC), appearing on FOX NEWS ’ Kayleigh McEnany Show, announced: “AMERICA IS ON THE BALLOT!” The deeper meaning of Senator Scott’s aphorism is that the future of our children and grandchildren is on the ballot this November.

It has become common on the right to suggest that, given the massive amount of fraud that’s been occurring uninterrupted across America for how many years we can’t even say, at least some of the deficit is a result of not policing it. The fraud. If we cut a few trillion in fraud across every … Read more
I have never considered myself a MAGA Republican. I have always considered myself a conservative. From my perspective, MAGA is not a departure from conservatism but rather an expression of it. Conservatives spent decades advocating for secure borders, fair trade, America First policies, limited government, constitutional protections, and respect for our nation’s symbols and traditions. … Read more
Growing up in England, I was always aware of the socialist inclinations of my mother country. But I was lucky; I was brought up in a conservative household embracing a deep reverence for tradition, a strong sense of community, and pride in national identity. English conservatism is very cultural and institutional. Socialism in the UK … Read more
When I say bad for NH Dems, and in this case I think it was the Congressional Dems that Hairgel was using as mules for his 2028 Presidential aspirations, it isn’t bad for them and their base. The progressive groundlings love ’em some, Gov. Nuisance. They’d build shrines in the back of their closets if … Read more
