The ink on those cursed ballots is barely dry, and already the stench of betrayal hangs heavy over the skyline of New York City, that once-unconquerable fortress of American grit and ingenuity.

Policy debates in New Hampshire are remarkably superficial. For example, an organization called the Tax Foundation recently released its “State Tax Competitive Index”, which scored New Hampshire the third-best State: But should New Hampshire’s tax policy be to achieve as high a rating as possible on the Tax Foundation’s “competitive index”? The Governor, the local Koch ... Read more

With no end in sight to the government shutdown, New Hampshire is losing millions of dollars during the most popular time of year for visitors. Families are skipping meals, veterans are losing vital support, and small businesses are teetering on the brink of collapse. There are roughly 9,000 federal employees affected by this shutdown within ... Read more

Barry Laughton has been known within New Hampshire’s political circles for more than a decade. Barry, a Democrat who goes by Stacie, was trans before it was a public mental health crisis. Back in 2012, Laughton won a seat in the NH House and was lauded as the first transgender legislator, perhaps anywhere. Laughton was ... Read more

Nothing good to report for Republicans after yesterday’s off-year elections. The gubernatorial candidate in Virginia, who distanced herself from Trump and was not endorsed by him, lost by fifteen points to an “Orange Man Bad” strategy. The psychopath “two bullets and watch his children die is his arms” Attorney General candidate even won, illustrating that ... Read more

One of the Democrats’ hostage demands is the repeal of fifty billion earmarked for improving rural healthcare. For all their focus on this stand being about healthcare, the media should be asking a lot more questions about why they oppose this. The Big Beautiful bill cut funding for non-citizens and added funding to improve care ... Read more

Americans are used to a fast pace. We are basically an impatient breed and expect instantaneous results from a plan, or think the effort is a failure. Look at inflation as an example. It took Biden a couple of years to drive the overall cost of living to historic highs, yet Trump was deemed a ... Read more

Watching Vermont spiral in the blue toilet water is not enjoyable. Sure, it is a TRE, and when the legislature is in session, we get a lot of low-hanging fruit. It is sad to observe the real-time decline and fall of a state founded by a rebel militia that fought against big government tyranny. Vermont ... Read more

Do schools have a right or an obligation to control a particular narrative on school grounds? Can they control what messages everyone can express on campus? What if it hurts someone’s feelings?

Losing high-profile elections that mean almost nothing to me is a gift. Low-hanging fruit for left-wing dummies who grasp at it in desperation, only to discover it’s rotten. Every Democrat who won last Tuesday is a poster child for why Donald Trump won last November. They got a Jew-Hating Islamist Marxist who peddled every utopian ... Read more

The Constitution of the United States is one of the most glorious documents promoting individual liberty ever written.

For many people considering treatment for substance use disorders, the idea of using medication as part of recovery can feel confusing or even contradictory. Questions arise: Isn’t the goal to get off all substances? Doesn’t using medication mean you’re just replacing one drug with another? These concerns are understandable, but they’re often rooted in outdated ... Read more

While Jay Ruais and the uniparty establishment elite are still reveling in his recent reelection, I’m here to rain on his parade because he’s clearly a captain who’s not a team player.  He sabotaged “Team Red” in Manchester, and that cost his city their best alderman and their Ward 1 seat.  There’s plenty of “Picklegate” ...

After some long and hard thought, I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that the US Senate needs to suspend the filibuster until after the 2026 election, and then reestablish it as the last action before the Senate adjourns for this session. It took me several days and several discussions with others whom I respect ... Read more
