New Legislation Could Claw Some of Your Privacy Back

Mon, 2025-01-13 13:00 +0000
Longtime readers may recall a pair of stories in 2023 regarding state laws and convenience stores scanning the barcodes on people’s driver’s licenses. The outlets had foregone looking at the front to confirm the age for cigarette and alcohol purchases, instead scanning the barcode on the back to pull in that and a pile of ... Read more

Gambling On Education

Mon, 2025-01-13 11:00 +0000
Gambling, for most people, is a voluntary activity, a choice.  Why does the state force the rest of us to gamble on education? When gambling, players know the basic odds before playing, and accept that the house has an advantage.  They put money up front and depend on chance (in a fair game) to let ... Read more

Universal EFA’s Will Lead To Less Education Freedom, Higher Taxes

Mon, 2025-01-13 03:00 +0000
Republicans went from “EFAs will help low-income, urban kids get out of failing public schools” to “Universal School Choice” so fast, I’m not sure what happened to the so-called conservatives.  Political pressure? Are any of you voters asking hard questions or understanding the program enough to truly support Republicans removing the income requirement? Taxpayer funded ... Read more

When Will Hartford Learn?

Mon, 2025-01-13 01:00 +0000
Despite the massive shift to the right in Vermont the town of Hartford managed to hold the line on voting for progressives this past election.  Perhaps the bluest state in the union, Vermont, is now solidly purple after seeing the Senate go from a 22(D)-7(R) supermajority to a nearly dead even 16(D)-13(R) chamber.  Even more ...

Jimmy Carter Endorsed Pete Hegseth for SecDef On His Deathbed?

Sun, 2025-01-12 23:00 +0000
I had heard several times during the broadcast that Jimmy Carter planned every detail of his funeral. Being a micro-manager, I doubt that he would have left this detail, the front page of the order of events, to anyone else: Indeed! The Left and the mainstream media (but I repeat myself) hate any religious mentions ... Read more

Will Queen Sharon Follow the Speaker’s Example?

Sun, 2025-01-12 21:00 +0000
Not only are they fellow Londonderry locals, but the Senate President and the Speaker are each other’s “other side of the wall” counterparts in leadership.  Anyone well versed in NH civics knows that the former is an office of higher prestige than the latter.  Rep Moffett even pointed out who’s next in line to become ...

If Canada Becomes a US State…

Sun, 2025-01-12 19:00 +0000
Trump is saying a lot of things about the Panama Canal, Greenland…and, of course, Canada. Frankly, while he may be more than just “Trumping” a bit here, and trolling denizens in those areas (he’s certainly riled up most of the EU elite talking about Greenland), I think this talk is directed at someone else. I’ll ... Read more

Teachers: “We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Standards”

Sun, 2025-01-12 15:00 +0000
Almost any professional profession (sorry, just HAD to do that!) has standards that they have to follow, especially if they want some letters after their names (e.g. RN, MD, PE, CPA, PMP, CEH {heh – Certified Ethical Hacker! Really, it’s a “thing”}, AWS, CSCP). Study hard and take the exams (sometimes, multiple times, like trying ... Read more

NOLA Police Chief Prolly Happy LA Has An Incompetent Mayor and Fire Chief

Sun, 2025-01-12 13:00 +0000
Anne Kirkpatrick got the ass end of the cybersphere handed to her on New Year’s Day and for several days following it. She looked like another clueless diversity hire, a problem she failed to resolve – much like Plan B (Kamal Harris) – by opening her mouth and speaking. People died, and her response didn’t ...

Sun, 2025-01-12 11:00 +0000
Food rights and federalism clash in the MAHA era Legal counsel for Amish food rights activist Amos Miller claimed victory in a recent Pennsylvania decision that permits the feisty farmer to continue selling his raw milk outside of the state but not “within the Commonwealth.” The ruling permits Miller to keep his business afloat to ...

How About Mandatory Public School Classes on The NH Advantage?

Sun, 2025-01-12 03:00 +0000
There may not be enough room to fit a module in on why New Hampshire is so much more successful than states like Vermont (Maine, Mass, CT, RI, NY, And so on). You’ve got all that DEI crap. Then there’s gender yoga, where you stretch reality to deliberately confuse your captured audience about whether they ... Read more

A Snapshot Of The Global Semiconductor Industry

Sun, 2025-01-12 01:00 +0000
I found it interesting to see the distribution of which areas of the globe have both the most semiconductor firms and their values. The Netherlands has one of the most important firms in this space: ASML. Sure, there are far more capitalized firms and far more well-known ones. Still, if you understand the idea that ... Read more

Disasters: Natural Or Manmade, Someone Has To Pay The Tab

Sat, 2025-01-11 23:00 +0000
We have sad moments every year when a section of our country suffers the pain of a tragedy that takes property and, sometimes, unfortunately, innocent lives. Today, we will not discuss the senseless shootings and bombings but focus on something more widespread that impacts thousands, even millions of people. The last few months have seen ... Read more

NH Annual Town Meetings Are Coming – Would You Like a Tax Cap?

Sat, 2025-01-11 21:00 +0000
I just got my latest tax bill in the mail – once again, I’m working on TMEW to allow me out of my “never run for BudComm again if you let me serve a 3rd term,” as it seems that the Progressive-captured BudComm in my hamlet didn’t see a funding request it disliked. SideNote: Bruce ... Read more

NH House Speaker Tells Dartmouth Hitchcock to Follow The Damn Law

Sat, 2025-01-11 20:00 +0000
Three days ago, we shared a report regarding a woman who was refused a kidney transplant by Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) because she did not meet their immunization requirements. No COVID jab, specifically. Shannon, the patient, did not want to but bucked to the pressure and got one shot, but that was not enough. ... Read more
