The system currently in place for Sexual Assault Response Training allows the rapist to get away and the wrong person to get framed.  The State must do better if it really wants to keep rapists off the streets.

A few months back, the University of New Hampshire ran a poll showing that 86 percent of Vermonters found the state to be unaffordable and 64 percent of prime working-age folks 18-34 were actively planning to leave. Last week, the Fiscal Alliance Foundation followed up with another poll, this one asking (among other things) what would make someone change ... Read more

A crash with a government vehicle isn’t the same claim as a crash with your neighbor’s SUV, and treating it like one is how good cases die. The other driver may look ordinary. The truck says U.S. Postal Service, or the sedan has a municipal seal, or the pickup belongs to a state road crew. ... Read more

A crash with a government vehicle is a different animal than a crash with the driver next to you at the light, and pretending otherwise is how people lose winnable cases. The other driver’s employer changes the deadlines, the paperwork, the ceiling on what you can recover, and even whether a jury ever sees the ... Read more

Democrats in Congress refused to denounce socialism. Only 8 democrats voted with Republicans to condemn it. All of those are in competitive races, so they couldn’t vote the way they wanted, or they might lose their seat. In other words, a congressional Democrat near you, including the aspiring Dems running against every Republican incumbent, sides ... Read more

Seeing that I didn’t have a campaign home page, this article serves as my thank-you note to everyone who voted for me and/or supported my candidacy.  I hope these words make it to all Howard Pearl critics who are being misrepresented by him in the upper chamber.  My race was not completely in vain, as ...

Today, on the Morning Update, given the rise in DSA drivel and envy narratives, remember that your town council or state government is a bigger threat to you, your rights, and “democracy” than, say, Elon Musk.

For generations, small farms have run on tradition, experience, and long days in the field. But the gap between a small operation and a large industrial one has always come down to one thing:  resources. Big farms can afford big investments justified by working on big volumes, while small farms need to do with what ... Read more

I have done more than my due diligence to expose the cadre of dark-side anti-AI influence surrounding the data center debate. What I have yet to do, and am rectifying today, is talk about the people and money on the pro-AI side. It is only fair that you know who is paying for the positive ... Read more

New Hampshire has a math problem. In 2026, about 62% of New Hampshire’s 11th graders met the state’s proficiency standard in reading. In math, only 30% did. That gap is hard to ignore. But high school isn’t where the story begins. The Gap Begins Earlier New Hampshire’s statewide assessments tell an interesting story. In the ... Read more

I watched and listened intently to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s Facebook reel where he talks about his thoughts on the tragedy of 9/11. Mamdani is a lousy mayor, but a great actor.

Pocket-sized climate catastrophist turned Hamas spokesmuppet, Greta “Floatilla” Thunberg, might be a little bit less climate Marxist and a little bit more muslim apologist (Marxist), but she’s on the hook for how wrong she’s been, and it’s still hilarious.

New Hampshire has already made an important choice about artificial intelligence. Under RSA 5-D, when a state-agency AI system produces a recommendation or decision that cannot be reversed once implemented, a responsible human must review it before it takes effect.

During the past week, New Hampshire progressives have gleefully shared an internet post that ranks New Hampshire fourth in the nation in “lifetime taxes” paid.  The analysis itself is, to use the technical term, bogus. The social media treatment of it is even worse.  On social media, “lifetime taxes paid” very quickly morphed into “lifetime ... Read more
