Someone mentioned to me recently that Rep. Hope Damon has introduced a bill to change the way school superintendents are credentialed. It’s classic Damon: Some parts of the bill refer to other sections of the bill that don’t exist.  And the bill makes no reference to the Ed Rules that already exist. The bill reads like ... Read more

We can’t imagine why Governor Ayotte, after promising not to ‘Mass Up New Hampshire’, signed several bills that would allow predatory developers from out of state to start soliciting homeowners in neighborhoods that were formerly zoned single-family with offers to help turn those neighborhoods into rental zones. Make no mistake, these companies are not interested ... Read more

In the bustling marketplace of New Hampshire politics, the Republican Party (NHGOP) often resembles a frustrated store owner, pacing behind the counter, watching potential customers browse the shelves with skepticism.

They’re searching for something ... Read more

The State Department is finally undergoing the course correction it has long needed.

This is a welcome development ... Read more

Talk about a double tap. We’ve got illegal immigrants committing crimes, Americans most certainly will do, while simultaneously proving there is massive fraud in the Medicaid System.

Sister Ketanji Brown Jackson continues to impress us with how over her head she is in the role of a United States Supreme Court Justice, so I have to ask. Who clerks for that? She doesn’t understand the Constitution or even grasp the most straightforward concept of separation of powers as it’s defined. Nearly every ... Read more

A Great Awakening from the Great Wokeness The 60s free-love revolution proclaimed love and peace as primary values, and especially embraced freedom from social and economic constraints. Epitomized by Timothy Leary’s call to “Turn on, tune in, drop out,” the movement’s essence was countercultural. Six decades later, the pendulum is swinging back. In the 1960s, ... Read more
