So onward with Part 2. Still a wee bit of a lead-up to read through to let you all understand that a number of cases that DCYF MUST take on aren’t all that straightforward. Thus, I’m only concentrating on the Barnstead District and our two Littles and the Special Education services they both needed. Two ... Read more

Rebecca Harned (never heard of her) is running as a Democrat for the New Hampshire State Senate. The Beccster is also, apparently, loaded and has multiple homes, which has complicated her residency claims to run for office in the Granite State. Harned’s campaign claims that she “returned home to New Hampshire” in 2017. She also ... Read more

It appears New Hampshire will very likely lose millions of dollars in tax revenue and much-needed local property tax relief. Somewhat recently, Governor Kelly Ayotte announced her support for a moratorium on the construction of data centers in New Hampshire. “It does not make sense to site a data center in New Hampshire,” Ayotte said. ...

Dolly Parton put $1 million into Vanderbilt’s early Moderna-related research, sang “Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine” to the tune of Jolene, told “cowards” not to be a “chicken squat” — and died at 80 after a brief battle with cancer her team never named. This episode is not a coroner’s report. It’s about the advice, the ... Read more

The midterms this cycle are as confusing as the new world order is in general. Historically, the midterms have never been good for the sitting President.

Yet The Second Circuit Court of Appeals has tossed out a suit from teachers claiming their 1st and 14th Amendment rights were violated when the administration, supported by the school board, told them they had to take their gay flags down.

Most people look for foreign influence at the federal border, but on July 30, a paper trail inside the Texas State Capitol proved the real beachhead might be in the state’s banking system.

Walking back to my car from the state house, a silly thought occurred to me as I walked toward the library.  A Concord local in a chat group made a comment some time ago about two public figures being “besties” in high school.  “Why not,” I thought.

Remember the halcyon days of the TEA Party movement. It was so organic that the left lost its mind. They called it astroturf, even using the IRS to suppress it before the 2012 elections. And they tried to astroturf their own version. And threaded throughout, and ever since, there have been accusations that people who ... Read more
