Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) introduced legislation on Nov. 20 that would prohibit the use of federal funds or tax credits to support solar panel development on productive farmland.

Maine stole our land when we weren’t looking. The historical evidence is overwhelming and clear. For almost 300 years, the Granite State’s northern border ran down through the Piscataqua River, snaked across Maine’s Portsmouth Harbor shoreline, then bisected the Isles of Shoals. New Hampshire’s borders embraced the entire harbor, including Badger’s Island, Seavey’s Island, and ... Read more

New Hampshire ranks as the freest state in North America, as measured in this year’s Economic Freedom of North America report, released today by the Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy in conjunction with Canada’s Fraser Institute.

Natalie Sandoval – Daily Caller News Foundation “Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent,” Adam Smith wrote in his treatise on moral sentiments.

I think we forget how much the Trump Administration has done in fewer than eleven months. Or maybe we have, and this new normal has us itchy and bitchy for so much more. True, there is much left to do, but even if it all ended today, more positive change has never been seen in ... Read more

Trump’s triumph elevates love of life above war and death. On November 20, President Donald Trump hosted 17 of the 20 Israeli hostages recently released by Hamas at the White House. He campaigned on promises to end the war in Palestine and bring the hostages home, and he has worked tirelessly to do so. The ... Read more

Governments have been killing their own people for their own advantage since there have been “governments” (see also: Kane and Able). From criminals to inconvenient truth tellers, power has a way of wanting to protect its own ass, so when the proglodytes started directing their abundance of “empathy” and “compassion” toward the chronically ill, everyone’s ...

My six-year fight for government transparency, recognized by the Nackey S. Loeb and New England First Amendment Awards, exposed a cynical failure in the New Hampshire judicial system. My Right-to-Know (RTK) lawsuits sought critical records, from assessing records to an alleged fraudulent federal funding scheme for the Nashua Performing Arts Center, a matter serious enough that the federal government is ...

Leave it to liberal academics to suggest something as absurd as a whiteness pandemic. The nation has been flooded with people of color for years.

Times certainly have changed when catchy words can dismiss our relevant past. Despite such gibberish, what endures are our deeply embedded instincts to care for and love those we have brought into this world.  That, in addition to our natural love of country, portrays just how immoral and evil it would be to do otherwise.  ...

Since at least 2000, our governors have knowingly usurped the Executive Council’s power to nominate judges. Courts are an essential branch of government, but we’ve learned the hard way that our rights are no longer sacrosanct in the NH courts. Nominating and appointing the best judges is critically important. The NH Constitution says that all ... Read more
