Nashua taxpayers paid for the Board of Aldermen’s lesson in ethics and public trust through the City’s NHMA dues. Then the Board made sure almost nobody could see it. Some ironies are too good to make up, so all you can do is report them. On Monday, November 9, the Nashua Board of Aldermen held ... Read more

If you thought voting for Democrats who are embracing Socialism would be kind of revolutionary or radical or social-chic, it’s actually very 19th-century, bordering on 11th. You might as well vote not to have to vote; it saves you the trouble of picking which ideological clone or despotic shit-heel from the one-party state will carry ... Read more

An acknowledgment is not an answer. And a law without an accessible remedy is little comfort to the person it was written to protect. New Hampshire residents are told that local government answers to voters, that public money must be spent lawfully, and that public records belong to the people. I believe in those principles. ...

Republican candidates got blown out around the country on November 3rd, but interestingly not so much Republican-esque policies. Places where Republicans lost big – or never had a chance of winning in the first place – saw some truly conservative ballot initiatives pass, and one very important crazy lefty one fail. That last bullet point ... Read more

Old Dems, who are much farther left than their predecessors, and that includes the previous versions of the fossils who are still cluttering up the dusty corners of Congress, are faced with newer Dems who are even further left.

We have been thinking and watching the Democratic Party for the last decade or so sink to a new level of cheating, corruption, and a general lack of quality candidates. Chuck Schumer can brag about the results of the midterms, but when he starts bragging about his recruitment of candidates, he would be better served ... Read more

Voters under 30, especially young men, broke blue because they did not sense that Republicans were addressing the cost of living. Their mistake was twofold. First, they did, but it takes time; second, they were tricked into thinking Democrats could help them. The war in Iran is also a big deal that Dems capitalized on, ... Read more

As school administrators grapple with preparing budgets under the new tax caps supported by voters in the last election, the question on everyone’s mind is: What will be cut, reduced, or delayed? But I’m also seeing something troubling at school board meetings. Rather than accepting the voters’ message and finding ways to work within the ... Read more

Upshifting and downshifting, we’ve heard this talk before.  Local control means local responsibility. Look at non-mainstream critics of EFAs, like Doris.  They have been warning us about the unwanted consequences of expanding state control.  John Birch Society people have been pointing out the problems with taking NRPC (federal) money for decades.  And remember that $22M ...

Canada’s government introduced legislation on October 27, 2026, to update the country’s existing Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) framework. The two primary reforms proposed would 1) allow advance requests for MAID, and 2) postpone the currently scheduled expansion of MAID program euthanasia services to include those suffering from mental illness. Both changes raise profound ethical ... Read more

For a political body that’s supposed to be downstream from a culture that lives in fear of fascism, the German government does some incredibly fascist things. They’ve banned political parties, all while suggesting that if German women don’t want to get raped, they should stay home at night. Then there’s the Christmas Markets. Islamists kept ... Read more

A sync placement used to be one of the cleaner wins in music. A song gets picked for a trailer, a game, a series, or an ad. A license is drafted, a fee is paid, and the credits go up. Everyone assumed the paperwork was the boring part. That is no longer a safe assumption.  ... Read more

A single central model on a federal courthouse project can carry years of authorship stamps, worksharing logs, and milestone snapshots that nobody on the team meant to produce as testimony. Once a dispute turns criminal, those saved versions stop being design history and start being exhibits. Prosecutors reach for them because they answer the two ... Read more

It’s no secret that Tuesday was a bloodbath for Republicans nationwide, based on voter unhappiness with the Iran war and high gas prices.  That discontent hit hard down-ticket as well: here in New Hampshire, we lost control of the House and the Senate in Concord in a devastating way.
