Does This Mean Planned Parenthood Is Breaking the Law?

Wed, 2025-03-26 12:00 +0000
Planned Parenthood (PP) does a few things well. It ends pregnancies and chases taxpayer dollars. The organization overpays executives, dumps obscene sums into lobbying to get more tax dollars, and runs as a non-profit NGO that pays no taxes. And it complains about funding. In recent years, it jumped on the drug-our-children-train, offering gender services ... Read more

Democrats are in full retreat from the Clean Heat Standard law (Act 18) they passed in 2023. The carbon credit (aka carbon tax) on home heating fuels was and is a policy and political disaster.

On Constitutional Rights and NH Law

Tue, 2025-03-25 22:00 +0000
Growing up homeschooled in New Hampshire meant that after I learned my “ABC’s” and “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,” my parents quickly taught me the “Preamble Song” by Schoolhouse Rock!. If you’re not familiar with it, the song is – as the title suggests—the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution set to a catchy tune. As the ... Read more

Tue, 2025-03-25 16:00 +0000
Cameras are everywhere, but this a-hol never guessed they’d be on the vehicle he was keying. And he couldn’t find his keys fast enough to do the deed. Busted!

Tue, 2025-03-25 14:00 +0000
President Donald Trump recently posted that the U.S. could join the Commonwealth of Nations. The idea is intriguing and one that, once the prejudice against it is sorted through, has tremendously positive implications for America and its members.

Limbo, in the theological sense, is a place where souls not condemned to hell await judgment. New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte announced yesterday that she has put AG John Formella in limbo.

Mon, 2025-03-24 22:00 +0000
In 1993 the NH Supreme Court discovered a “hidden-in-plain-sight” constitutional “duty” of our State “legislators” to “cherish,” i.e, fund, an “adequate” education in “public schools.” Historically public schools were locally funded. Despite two ongoing lawsuits disputing the amount of State funding necessary for this obligation, legislators now propose to expand taxpayer obligations to fund both ... Read more
