What are viable careers for felons convicted of multimillion-dollar fraud schemes after prison is left behind?  Moving to NH and establishing oneself as a therapist.

The framers of the New Hampshire Constitution of 1784, influenced by Puritan traditions that intertwined education with moral and religious formation rooted in the Protestant Reformation, crafted Part II, Article 83 to implement the principles in Part I, Articles 4, 5, and 6 of the Bill of Rights.

President Donald Trump and his administration are playing chess while the Liberals are trying to understand Chinese checkers.
