Any body labled a Senate typically sucks. It can’t be counted on. Most of its members are more beholden to donors and special interests than to the people. We need to repeal the seventeenth amendment, but that’s not happening anytime soon, so we’re stuck with this swampiest of drags on meaningful reform. That’s not to … Read more
Or Say I’m Exercising a “Jihad” In various attacks in the New Hampshire media by journalists associated with the Catholic Church, whose law firm, Nixon Peabody, also represents the NHCADSV, I have been called various names and been accused of a “Jihad” against the NHCADSV. Journalists should look up the meaning of a word before … Read more

Last November, I reported on an announcement by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to ban transgender athletes from competing in women’s competitions. The move began last year, after World Athletics required anyone competing as a woman to undergo a genetic test. The IOC met to discuss and announced its plan to require a test that … Read more

Welp…. Looks like the Democratic Socialists in Vermont learned nothing from the 2024 election that saw massive public opposition to their Clean Heat Carbon Tax, which played a starring role in the shellacking they took the hands of the voters. Today the House Democrats voted near party line (by my count only four broke ranks) … Read more
People have gotten used to the idea that Google’s metrics are the alpha and omega of everything related to web traffic. This is an institutional lie accepted after years of a monopoly on search. Google’s search algorithms serve one purpose. To optimize ad revenue for Google. Actual traffic results may vary, but our previous hosting … Read more
Why would our Senators not support the Save America Act? New Hampshire requires a photo ID and Proof of citizenship to vote. Do they feel that other states shouldn’t also have to require these simple safeguards? If so, why? Do the Senators support MEN playing in women’s sports? If so, why? Do the Senators really … Read more

Despite cultural advances in our direction on Campuses and in the corporate world, at least on paper, there is still a lot of work to be done on the question of whether men can be women and women men. Not biologically – they can’t, but the far left is obsessed and unwilling to let this … Read more
Nashua’s Selective Enforcement of “Shall” There’s a phrase often attributed, loosely and somewhat inaccurately, to Karl Marx: power without ideology. Whether or not Marx ever said it in those exact words, the concept is unmistakable: power exercised without consistent principle, without accountability, and without any obligation to apply rules evenly. That idea is playing out in real time … Read more

As predicted, there was plenty of strident debate on HB1602 (creating a safe battery recycling stewardship program) before the House recessed for lunch. Mr. McGuire made an excellent 8-minute speech in favor of moving it to an interim study. I encourage everyone to listen to it, though I’m aware that asking for 8 minutes of … Read more

I recently got an email from someone who is concerned that President Trump is getting us into another “quagmire” of a war in the Middle East. Here was my response: I’m sorry, but I feel very differently about the Iran war. Iran has been at war with America since it took the hostages from the … Read more

I take umbrage with the idea of taxes as an investment. Given the opportunity, even the two-faced Dems spouting nonsense about our patriotic duty to let the government rob us would put their money into something else. Even just your own pocket is likely to produce better results in both the short and long term … Read more
Wasting some time on MS Now this morning gave me a dose of Mika, sitting and bobbing her head; Mike Barnicle, who, like Biden, made a career out of plagiarism; and Cory Booker, who has turned his career into video clips and sound bites. It is not a question of why the network is cutting … Read more
