As the smoke from the forest fires and chem-trails settled along the bay the full spectrum of colors and disorders emerged from the thunderously loud crowd of ball worshippers there to venerate America’s favorite holiday festival – the Stupor Bowl.  This year’s dialectical offering pitted New England’s favorite Patriots against the tent city hopefuls from ...

Are we all born with that feeling in the pit of our stomach that something is wrong when we see it, or are we born with a blank filter that gets filled as we experience life, coaches, and mentors? Aren’t we all sickened when we see someone mistreat a dog, or did our parents have ... Read more

I hope we can all agree that even if we disagreed with the students who protested at their schools over the past couple of weeks, they have a right to free speech.

The idea that the globalist left, which includes elites and American progressives, will protect and defend speech, association, or assembly that they disagree with is absurd. At every opportunity, they actively work to control words, speech, and, by extension, thoughts. Any crisis, real or imagined, is an excuse to create fear and to silence dissent. ... Read more

The Executive Council today voted 4-1 to confirm Judge Dan Will to the NH Supreme Court for the rest of his career. Despite thousands of emails from Granite Staters demanding an originalist nominee, Councilor Dave Wheeler – a stalwart conservative – was the only member of the Council to vote against Will’s confirmation.  The Council ...

State legislators are proclaiming that one-size-fits-all education isn’t suitable for all children. That’s pretty ironic, given that the state systematically adopted a series of uniform mandates on curriculum frameworks, competency grading, behavior modification, and even restorative justice discipline to create a one-size-fits-all adequate education. Now, legislators are trying to somehow “save” our children by letting ... Read more

The landmark case Wickard v. Filburn significantly altered the Federal government’s power. The 1942 SCOTUS ruling essentially declared that what the federal government subsidizes, it shall control.  An old story from a great American, Tom Anderson, tells us what Federal Aid really is: “Once upon a time, two hunters went in freezing cold weather deep in ...

Going into the November 2026 elections, Vermont Democrats are eager to impress voters with the notion that the Clean Heat Standard, the “Rube Goldberg” carbon tax scheme they passed over the veto of Governor Scott in 2024, is dead and gone.

How Do You Negotiate With a Radical Left That Rejects America? As America grows more polarized, the question has become whether compromise is even possible.

When one side rejects foundational ... Read more

A headline like that could mean a lot of things. From America rising up again in 2026 and 2028 to push back against the systemic failure and cultural corruption of the political left, to preventing depression (emotional and economic), to Democrats committing political suicide as a matter of policy. In a manner of speaking, it ... Read more

Support HB1313 to Repeal Unconstitutional “Buffer Zones” As Granite Staters, we pride ourselves in our “Live Free or Die” motto. Our State Constitution enshrines that idea, and declares free speech ought “to be inviolably preserved.” [Article 22].
