I was forwarded the attached 1988 report on Laurie List, PD James F. McLaughlin, last week. William Dow and Amanda Palmieri of Keene did not forward this to me when I filed a right-to-know request a couple of years ago. Amanda Palmieri was present during the secret hearings in 2024 when James F McLaughlin was ... Read more

What do the Ruby Princess and Chris Pappas have in common? That’s not a trick question, and it’s not some gay slur. Both have been at the epicenter of a Norovirus outbreak.

On July 4, 2026, Americans celebrated various people for their roles in founding this country. We can start with Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Madison, Franklin, Henry, and continue debating into the night. Somewhere on the list would be Paine—Robert Treat Paine, a Harvard graduate and signer of the Declaration. And, grudgingly for some, another Paine but ... Read more

It is nearly 1 am on Sunday morning, and those of us who stayed up were gifted with an incredible show to celebrate Freedom 250. Donald J.

Alicia Keys delivered a soft-spoken and very likely well-meaning message to America on July 5th. Keys, despite her concerns about women’s rights, rose from a single-parent (mom), multi-racial, low-income beginning to become a multimillionaire music-industry icon. Rob Schneider felt a need to add some context which we were eager to share. 00:00 Alicia Keys confused ... Read more

I’ve got to say it’s more than a bit distressing to head into the celebration of our great nation’s 250th birthday on the heels of Democratic Socialists winning a bunch of elections in New York and Colorado. So, this semiquincentennial (yes, I had to look it up, and even my spellcheck still doesn’t believe that’s ... Read more

I was sitting on the 400-yard range at Londonderry Fish and Game Club, Saturday evening, after sunset, waiting for the fireworks to start. LF&G puts on a display that rivals most towns.

Online sports betting has really taken off in the past few years, and the numbers are honestly pretty wild.

The New Hampshire General Court (i.e., our legislature) has finished for the year, except for a few votes on the Governor’s vetoes.

The Supreme Court is expected to issue several decisions on Monday, none of which is more controversial than its determination of whether the Fourteenth Amendment to the US Constitution authorizes birthright citizenship.
