Proglodytes are strange creatures. A few years ago, there was fanfare and parade confetti for the Jankowitch. Nina Jankowitz was hand-picked to be Joe Biden’s federal censor. The new leader of the Department of Truth, appropriately misnamed the Disinformation Governance Board, would pick and choose truths and ensure that all media, social, antisocial, whatever, understood ...

What should the average law-abiding citizen think about the highest court in the land vandalizing our Blessed Constitution whenever, especially when they represent our last defense against its political prostitution or any destructive attempts?  This birthright citizenship decision joins with the Court’s no-no on Bible reading in schools and its rendering natural birth into a ...

I remember growing up. The networks, we didn’t have anything else except PBS, were required to give equal time to opposing views if the network gave a candidate or advocate earned media time. I wouldn’t become remotely political for another thirty years, but it struck me as annoying, not that I was paying attention or ... Read more

(Concord, NH July 2, 2026) Concord, NH — Today, New Hampshire Gov Ayotte (R) vetoed HB232, a bill that would have simply given healthcare workers a place to complain to if they were forced to perform abortions against their conscience; it contained no penalties after an amendment by the NH Senate.

I frequently appear on radio talk shows, where I answer constitutional questions from the radio host and from the listening audience.

The Vermont Futures Project made something of a splash when it released a statistic showing that Vermont ranks 51st among 50 states (D.C. thrown in for giggles) for something they call “economic momentum.” This sounds really bad and, spoiler alert, it is.

New Hampshire eliminated annual passenger vehicle inspections last year. Beginning in February 2026, they are no longer mandatory. The journey from there to here is well documented on our pages, including the lawsuits, caterwauling, and fearmongering. The problem was the paradigm.
