Alderman Moran’s behavior and comments at Nashua Board of Aldermen (BOA) meetings often seem bewildering and inappropriate. This was again illustrated at the BOA meeting of 24 September 2024 when he opined on taxpayers’ reactions to receiving their “surprise” property assessment mail. Excerpts from Alderman Moran’s comments during RESPONSE TO REMARKS OF THE MAYOR: https://youtu.be/nOf9YDorMgo?si=OvDACDlM_oauB9vo&t=797 ... Read more
There were many ‘casualties’ after the Wu Han Flu over the cuckoo’s nest (do you think the socials will break that bit of code?), not the least of which were First Amendment Rights enumerated as natural and inviolable in the US Constitution. Association and assembly under the bus, followed by any opinions, messaging, evidence, precedent, ... Read more
Will Rogers famously said: “The problem in America isn’t so much what people don’t know; the problem is what people think they know that just ain’t so,” Reminds me of what wannabe dictators and bureaucrats think about how blind the American people have become and, perhaps, how easy it will be to steal the rest ...

Kirk is adrift, Leslie is lost, and Invest 97L is a hair west of Cape Verde and likely to follow them around the central Atlantic. Milton burned out fast after a CAT 3 landing (Sorry, climateers – no Cat 6 superstorm), making a mess, but that’s what hurricanes do, and a lot less often than ... Read more
A recent federal court decision prohibited the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from regulating pollution based on skin color. Viewed as a blow to “environmental justice” initiatives, the Louisiana decision hinged on an important distinction between government policies created with racist intent versus those that result in racially disparate impacts. The ruling may influence future regulatory action, raising important ... Read more
Monday Monday, can’t trust that day! Last week’s Friday Edition. Remember, ridicule and mockery are effective weapons: 1. Ridicule cannot easily be fought 2. Ridicule makes the enemy angry, and angry people make mistakes 3. For those in the “squishy middle” a Thought Splinter (and Part II and Part III and Part IV) can often be hidden inside humor. Now, ... Read more
If Democrats are the Party of Inclusion, why do they have an obsession with Identity Politics? I find it incredibly ironic that the Democrats are nothing more than a collection of boxes, and if you do not fit into a particular one, they will create a new one for you. If you need proof of ...

The socialists in the UK National Health Service keep lots of data. They do research. That doesn’t make up for the long wait times that may exceed the window for required care or the outcomes; they do collect the data. The UK has been a gold mine, especially since the COVID era to which we ... Read more
Just over nine years ago, I lay in a Paris hospital getting an ultrasound to assess the health of my preborn child. He was just shy of 12 weeks old, and it looked as if this young life might not survive complications with my pregnancy. Back in the U.S., an apparent scandal was engulfing the ... Read more
In Bill O’Reilly’s book “Confronting The Presidents,” Bill tells us FDR could have cared less who his Vice President was. Of course, at the time, FDR was nearly on his deathbed, and his Vice-President, whom he met once or twice, was Harry S. Truman, the man who decided to drop the Atom Bomb on Japan ... Read more
The Vermont Senate contains thirty seats. Democrats/Progressives currently hold twenty-three of them and the office of Lieutenant Governor, who presides over the state senate and can cast tie-breaking votes. So, for the Republicans to take control of the senate for the first time since the 1990s, they would have to hold the seven seats they ... Read more
One side promises unlimited abortion that they will enshrine in our state (and the US) Constitution. To them, there are NO OTHER ISSUES! What about the COST of everything? What about fentanyl overdoses? What about homelessness? I’m tired of their lies. Please don’t fall for it! NH already has a law that allows unlimited abortion ... Read more
Small businesses are the lifeblood of the American economy. They employ the majority of the country’s employees and are part of the character of their community. However, small businesses are becoming endangered, as evidenced by the growing number of closings. There are many reasons for the trend, and most are the product of Left Wing ... Read more
This topic is not nearly as dear to my heart as reminding elected reps they can’t block people on social media they use to communicate public business, but it is a close second. We allow elected representatives in New Hampshire to give out and use any email address as their legislator contact. Reframed, every rep ... Read more
One of my favorite programs on FOX News is The Five. The Five started in July 2011 as a temporary filler, and thirteen years later, it continues to be one of the highest-rated cable shows. I have never missed a show and have had to tolerate many different liberals who have sat in the #4 ... Read more
Today, 10/13/24, marks the 3rd anniversary of the infamous Executive Council arrests. Most, if not all, readers must be familiar with that event, but it never ceases to amaze me that I still run into people who didn’t know about it. There was plenty of coverage, the wrong kind, to be found then and now, ... Read more
The absurdity of liberal privilege continues to run amuck. No, not the jet-setting, globe-hopping, carbon-emitting elites who leap continents in a single bound to deny you affordable, reliable (safe) transportation at home. It isn’t Tech Goons like Eric Schmidt or Bill Gates who argue that the gigatons of emissions necessary to run AI are essential ... Read more
During Hurricane Helene’s devastation from Asheville, NC, a mom interviewed on TV tearfully expressed how proud she was of the courage of her 7-year-old son, Micah. Meghan Drye shared Micah’s final words while drowning with his two grandparents. Instead of crying out in fear, Micah called out, “Jesus save me!” There’s a lesson in this ... Read more
Vermonters face a critical election year – nationally and here in the Green Mountains. Years of steadily increasing property taxes, government fees, and stifling regulations promulgated by a spendthrift, ideologically extreme Progressive legislature have burdened retirees, young Vermonters, and the state’s low-income residents. In the name of helping the poor, the climate, and various social ... Read more
