UPDATE: The Brave Browser Problem is Resolved

2 hours 16 min ago

Thanks to Dan McGuire for the heads up. The Brave Browser problem has corrected itself. Brave users will no longer get caught in a Cloudflare doom loop that ends with a Wordfence 404 (too many page-not-found errors for a human) block. We’ve been working both sides of this off and on for over two months. ... Read more

HOHENSEE: Fundamental Rights Matter

3 hours 16 min ago

Stolen Rights over Public Education Without consent, government has no legitimacy. In 1968, our fundamental rights over public education were stolen by an amendment to the NH Constitution. Usually, amendments enshrine or expand our rights. It’s very unusual to remove fundamental rights from a state constitution, let alone do it by stealth. In an effort ... Read more

BANFIELD: Why are Bullying Appeals Rising in New Hampshire Schools?

7 hours 16 min ago

During a recent hearing before the New Hampshire Senate Education Committee, State Board of Education Chair Drew Cline made a revealing observation: the State Board has seen an increase in the number of bullying-related appeals brought by parents. This trend deserves serious attention. When a student experiences bullying at school, parents sometimes request a “manifest ... Read more

Morning Update: Choose Civilization

10 hours 16 min ago

Today, on the morning update, inspired by a potential shift in Iran, I take a 30,000-foot view of the stark contrast between what the other side offers (Democrats/globalists) and what Trump, most Republicans, and a majority of Americans would choose for themselves and the world. Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel if the embedded video ... Read more

OPINION: Why HB 1064 Puts County Taxpayers at Risk

12 hours 16 min ago

I climbed the granite steps of the New Hampshire State House and passed through its golden doors into the Hall of Flags. The building was alive — lobbyists, demonstrators, legislators, and a few bewildered tourists all moving with purpose beneath that iconic golden dome. I had come to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee in ... Read more

CARDELLO: DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin’s Interesting Plan for Sanctuary Cities

19 hours 16 min ago

Secretary Markwayne Mullin may only be on the job for a couple of weeks, but he has already gotten under the skin of California Governor Gavin Newsom. The proposed plan by Mullin shows he will think outside the box and is serious about thwarting the protection of illegal aliens and criminals by Democratic Governors and ... Read more

OPINION: Battlefield AI Lessons Learned

Thu, 2026-04-09 18:00 +0000

Real Clear Wire The past month delivered something rare in national security: real-world evidence of how artificial intelligence performs in conflict. Not in theory, not in demonstrations, and not in Silicon Valley pitch decks – but in the messy, high-stakes environment of modern warfare. What works in a demo doesn’t always survive first contact with ... Read more

MACDONALD: Bridging The Divide Is Harder Than You Think

Thu, 2026-04-09 16:00 +0000

I am skeptical when, given the current political climate and recent history, anything calling itself a safe space where both sides can find common ground pops up from the trenches. Political operatives like to craft them to persuade otherwise well-meaning moderates to the left and to give progressives who join cover. Oh, look, so-and-so is ... Read more

OPINION: Constitutional Government and the Tenth Amendment

Thu, 2026-04-09 14:00 +0000

In their book Who Killed the Constitution, Thomas E. Woods and Kevin C.R. Gutzman argue that the demise of constitutionalism—the principle of limited government—is by no means a recent development. It can be traced back several decades, “close to a century.” It is not the work of just one political party or another, but an assault ... Read more

SMITH: A “Silent Tim?”

Thu, 2026-04-09 09:00 +0000

I will undoubtedly get told to repent if I say this, but I’m going to say it anyway.  My least favorite part of the Bible is Timothy.  I don’t care for wives being told to submit (Ephesians) to their husbands, either, but I’ve been able to keep that issue irrelevant by staying single. Timothy, however, wants ...

…For high taxes, low affordability Democrats are pointing the finger at Vermont Governor Phil Scott for the state’s climbing tax, housing, health care and affordability problems.

MACDONALD: Still ‘Worrying’ Over COVID?

Wed, 2026-04-08 21:00 +0000

Ray wrote a post earlier that mentioned the not-so-honorable “chief” high-cheekbones Warren. She’s your typical nutjob Dem who will be in the Senate until she dies of old age. Being an AWFL with TDS ensures she will outlive almost everyone else, so we’re stuck with her and her priorities. I have the privilege of living ... Read more

Wed, 2026-04-08 18:00 +0000

How a non-vote exposed the Democrats’ true attitudes regarding the housing crisis When new Vermont House members receive their orientation to how things work in the legislature, one point of etiquette driven home is that it’s not good form to spring amendments to bills onto the floor without a healthy heads up. “No surprises,” goes ...
