Many years ago, I had a front row seat in observing the dynamics of a father and son that made me cringe on a regular basis.  The identity of this toxic duo will not be shared with the readers, but let’s just say that the father regularly made parental decisions that I found appalling.  His ...

The Pocket Judiciary In Nashua, justice doesn’t feel random. I was told that Superior Court cases are assigned through a “round-robin” system to keep things fair. Yet fifteen of my cases went to the same judge. This was simply not statistically possible, and patterns have meaning. That judge, Charles Temple, became the City’s go-to authority ... Read more

Ward 4 Rep Paige Beauchemin, whose reputation already precedes her, recently appeared in the WMUR studio with Adam Sexton and said, “I think the millionaires are well represented already,” and a bunch of other far-left rhetoric in the very short video that was released last night. Ward 4 includes some of the trashiest parts of Nashua and ... Read more

Free Speech and Religious Rights Case Appears Poised to Do Just That!

Republicans absolutely should pass Ruth Ward’s proposed “bailout” of the Claremont School District. Why? Because it is not, by any objective or neutral standard, a “bailout.” Rather, it is a commonsense, practical solution to Claremont’s budget deficit that should mitigate “collateral damage” to schoolchildren, such as missing out on sports, extracurricular activities, clubs, etc, with ...

The Dems are dug in and convinced their “health care crisis” narrative will win the day. Jeffries and Schumer keep peddling the argument while our service members, air traffic controllers, and millions of their voters go unpaid. But President Trump is a pro-military president. He supports police, fire, first responders, and every member of the ... Read more

When Justice Has a Price Tag When the City of Nashua spent nearly a million dollars fighting a voluminous 2022 Right-to-Know case, it wasn’t protecting taxpayers and records; it was protecting itself. The case involved the downtown road barriers, a project sold for “downtown vibrancy” but executed with little transparency. I asked for public meeting ... Read more

In July 2024, Governor Chris Sununu signed House Bill 1014 which requires towns to recognize Columbus Day and not replace it with the woke faux-holiday celebrating indigenous people.  Public libraries are generally closed on Columbus Day, so as with all holidays celebrated with a day off for staff, signs are placed prominently at entrances and ...
