It is tragic that the partnership between Elon Musk and President Trump, which created DOGE, is ending. Congress has perpetuated a culture of waste and fraud, enabled by greedy majorities. The electorate’s mindset reflects the leftist political axiom that views government as a source of revenue rather than a watchdog to be held accountable. What ... Read more

Concord, NH — A coalition of leading liberty-focused organizations in New Hampshire is calling on Governor Kelly Ayotte to sign a sweeping legislative package aimed at reinforcing the rights of parents to direct and control the upbringing of their children. Known as the “Parental Rights Package,” this group of seven bills positions New Hampshire at the forefront of a growing national movement to reassert parental authority in education, healthcare, and family life.

The coalition—composed of RebuildNH, Young Americans for Liberty, Citizens Alliance of New Hampshire, New Hampshire Liberty Alliance, and Health Freedom NH—praised the General Court’s efforts to pass this comprehensive set of laws and urged the governor to act quickly in enshrining them into law.

“These bills collectively ensure that parents—not government institutions—retain the primary role in guiding their children’s development,” said Melissa Blasek, executive director of RebuildNH. “This package embodies New Hampshire’s commitment to freedom and personal responsibility. It’s time to lead the nation once again.”

The Parental Rights Package includes the following bills:

• HB10 and SB72 – Establish a Parental Bill of Rights, codifying parents’ fundamental rights to make decisions regarding the care, custody, education, and medical treatment of their children.
• HB446 – Requires parental notice and opt-in consent for non-academic surveys administered in public schools.
• HB273 – Grants parents access to their child’s library records, ensuring transparency.
• SB96 – Mandates school district employees to disclose material information regarding a student’s mental, emotional, or physical health to parents.
• HB361 – Prohibits mandatory mask policies in schools, reinforcing the right of parents to make medical decisions for their children.
• HB324 – Prohibits obscene or harmful sexual materials in schools, protecting children from age-inappropriate content.

Together, these bills form a comprehensive and unified framework that prioritizes family rights, government transparency, and child protection.

“The Parental Rights Package is about trust—trusting parents to know what’s best for their children,” said Dan Gray, executive director of Citizens Alliance of New Hampshire. “Governor Ayotte has an opportunity to affirm the rights of every New Hampshire family and to send a clear message that our state values liberty and family sovereignty.”

The coalition emphasized that passing this package into law would further enhance New Hampshire’s reputation as one of the most freedom-minded and family-friendly states in the nation.

It’s almost Summer. That means another apocalyptic season of Biblical proportions. Or is it another season of biblical apocalypses?

Partisan targeting or legitimate antitrust inquiry? The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is seeking documents from the left-leaning nonprofit Media Matters to determine whether the self-styled watchdog conspired with other organizations to orchestrate illegal advertiser boycotts of conservative news sites in violation of antitrust laws.

The University of Sydney caps doctoral theses at 80,000 words (excluding references). The theory is that external reviewers don’t want to read more than that (true!).

Bitcoin Pizza Day 2025, Keene, NH

On May 22, 2025 Keene, NH had it’s annual Bitcoin Pizza Day event and as usual it was a roaring success! To top it all off Bitcoin reached a record high of $111,000 on May 22, 2025, coinciding with the 15th anniversary of the first real-world Bitcoin transaction known as Bitcoin Pizza Day.

While for libertarians this isn’t really about the value of the coin so much as the principles and morals it’s representing: Freedom, control, and privacy. The later of which Bitcoin isn’t, but unlike fiat currencies (government money and the associated systems of banking, money transmission, etc) does retain a pseudonymous property in that a user does not need register their identity to merely utilize it or conduct business.

 

 

Pizza doesn’t get fresher than Little Zoe’s, now available for bitcoin!

As is the tradition in Keene, NH we gathered at Little Zoe’s to order our delicious personalized pizzas. Afterward people paid for said pizzas with everything from Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to Goldbacks. We had a few new faces and plenty of old ones. At least one of our now long time regulars apparently wasn’t able to make it. In her 70s she’s smartly cautious and unfortunately the rain appears to have gotten in her way of making it to Keene. But the rain didn’t stop the party. We gathered in our cars and took our pizzas back to one of the Shire Free Church’s properties that was graciously provided for our event at the last minute.
