In 2023, while I was Alderman Dowd’s opponent, I received an invitation from the League of Women Voters (LWV) to attend a Wards 1, 2, and 6 candidate forum at the library, which is in trashy Ward 4 and not even near Ward 2. Despite their name, one should ask them whether they even know what ...

The cornerstone of the Make America Healthy Again movement is to prioritize preventive health practices in response to the nation’s chronic disease epidemic.

I realize that medical insurance coverage is not only a hot-button topic for most people, but medical insurance premiums are now one of the biggest entries on the family budget.

If you wanted to know what I thought about assisted Suicide, medically assisted dying (MAiD), or any aspect of government-managed consent to death, it’s easy.

A Wise Nation Would Pay Bipartisan Attention The very term MAHA, an acronym for “Make America Healthy Again,” sows division in many quarters. But the sentiment should hardly be controversial.

Did you hear the one about Donald Trump’s secret flight out of Turkey? You probably did. He “switched” planes after evidence of a threat. Air Force One still flew, but without President Trump on it.

Local zoning decisions provide the most efficient method of resolving property disputes and implementing voter-approved Master Plans.   Our New Hampshire state statutes explicitly affirm that “Planning, zoning and related regulations have been and should continue to be the responsibility of municipal government.” (RSA 672:1)   Town land-use ordinances have recently come under attack, however, and ...
