Rep. Kristin Noble’s HB 1268, the Home Education Freedom Act, is one of the strongest pro-liberty home education reforms introduced in our state. This legislation ends burdensome state requirements like mandatory notice, portfolios, and end-of-year evaluations for homeschooling families. Instead, it ensures that New Hampshire treats homeschool education with respect and trust, giving parents the authority and flexibility … Read more
House Bill 1792 would prohibit the teaching of ‘Marxist analyses’ in public schools. But the entire public school system is funded on the basis of Marxist philosophy: https://granitegrok.com/blog/2021/10/the-accidental-marxist https://granitegrok.com/blog/2021/10/the-accidental-marxist-part-2 https://granitegrok.com/new-england/nh/2025/01/groucho-marxism Interestingly, the bill would prohibit discussions in public schools about how those schools are funded. ‘Inconsistent’ doesn’t even begin to describe this situation. I don’t … Read more
Watching coverage of rioting occurring in several U.S. cities, I have been disheartened by the sheer number of women, both young and old, engaging in extremely vulgar and violent assaults on officers appointed to protect our country and keep the peace! I completely support peaceful protest, but what I’ve seen daily is far from peaceful. … Read more

Turning Family Zoned Neighborhoods Into Strip Malls In 2025, the New Hampshire Republican “crazy-caucus,” with Democrat support, gutted the ability of cities/towns to maintain single-family zoned neighborhoods. For example, a State law (House Bill 457) was passed that allows houses in single-family-zoned neighborhoods to be converted into boarding houses. As a result, Blackstone or some … Read more

Democrats claim to hate rich people, but like all things of the Left, there is more than one face. They need them, and their wannabe millionaire cousins. Political campaigns cost money. Sure, they can print it (money), hand it off to the numerous luandresses in DC and across the corruptible fruited plain, and buy votes … Read more
This week, my division of Finance met on four bills referred from other committees. HB 241, on insurance coverage of pain management services, had been amended by the previous committee to eliminate the coverage mandates, only requiring an insurance plan to have people with chronic pain able to access treatments other than opioids. The sponsor, … Read more
For better or worse, the Vermont Legislature has not yet passed any bills into law this year. The Senate last week passed two controversial anti-ICE bills. Both bills passed by a 27-2 roll call vote with only Sens. Russ Ingalls (R-Essex) and Terry Williams (R-Rutland) voting no. Both bills now move over to the Vermont … Read more

I have been a fan and supporter of Marco Rubio since he entered the 2016 presidential race. I remember walking with Sharon through the streets of Concord, New Hampshire, on a very cold February night to hear the young candidate address his supporters after a disappointing showing in the NH primary. He was strong, took … Read more
Today, on the Morning Update, bullying people into aping liberal groupthink is standard practice for petty progressive despots and their handmaiden media, but it can appear worse for some than others.

Just before I took off for a week’s family vacation, Senator Andrew Perchlik (D/P-Washington) held a press conference flanked by Secretary of State Sara Copeland Hanzas (D-VT) where they were handing out $10,000 and $5000 checks to a bunch of local media outlets. Oh, this is bad, I said to myself with some excitement. I’ve … Read more
While our officials repeat the same mantra that ‘Islam is a religion’ of peace, and the great majority of Muslims are not a party to any plans and actions of radicals, the incantation of these “authorities” is the lullaby that puts most people to sleep in complacency. It is crucial for the American people to … Read more

It isn’t making news, probably because the left and its army of militant wine-moms, the toxic empathy army, is distracted by the paid-protester pay day in Minnesota. But that’s starting to wind down. And while there are plenty of opportunities for paid protesters to make “a living wage” by pretending to be angry about something … Read more
Do y’all recall when Kelly Ayotte ran, successfully, for U.S. Senator in 2010? She ran as a hard-liner on Illegal Immigration. She promised a secure border and to oppose amnesty. She even wanted to make English the official language and end birthright citizenship. But by 2013, Ayotte was supporting “comprehensive immigration reform,” which is that … Read more
The leadership of the House Ways & Means Committee wants nothing to do with allowing Vermonters to access a One Big Beautiful Bill tax credit that would give them a dollar-for-dollar return on money contributed to private school scholarships. Ways and Means, the committee with oversight over all tax policy and legislation, on Wednesday discussed … Read more
President Trump is the best president of my lifetime, but that doesn’t say much for the rest. My suspicions that all the good headlines hide a lot of potential problems have been growing over the past several months. The predictor of the calamitous 2008-2009 financial crisis, Peter Schiff, was featured on Fox and Friends in … Read more
