No Security Clearance For You!

Mon, 2025-03-24 00:00 +0000
During Trump 1.0, just about everyone with a security clearance used it to try to undermine his administration. They leaked, obstructed, misrepresented, and otherwise made trouble for the 45th President. Trump 2.0 has been very different. Donald Trump has been actively rescinding the security clearance of anyone who used it to undermine him the first ... Read more

Fixed That Petition for You…

Sun, 2025-03-23 22:00 +0000
Many of you saw a petition warrant article on the agenda at your recent town meetings.  The idea was to get towns to vote to send the petition to the legislature and the governor. It’s kind of a silly idea — if you’re going to tell your representative something, you should do that as an ... Read more

Sun, 2025-03-23 18:00 +0000
On March 20, a slew of Senate Commerce bills regarding Housing were fought valiantly by Bedford Senator Denise Ricciardi. She managed to kill SB55 but of the ones that passed, all did not get universal approval. Example: SB84 – passed 13-10 (opposed by Republican Senators Ricciardi, Rochefort, Birdsell, Lang, Gray, Ward, Abbas, Gannon, Avard, and ... Read more

So Kids, What Did We Learn From This Week’s House Session (3/20/25)?

Sun, 2025-03-23 16:00 +0000
We learned it was “Parental Rights Day” in House chambers this week. It was a long day filled with drama and notable activity as we went through the pile of 49 bills in front of us. In attendance were roughly 206 Republicans and 161 Democrats in the House, so the vote results were pretty predictable ... Read more

Will Jeanne Dietsch Attend Her Local Library’s Event?

Sun, 2025-03-23 14:00 +0000
Remember that nut job with a disdain for carpenters that Senator Denise unseated in 2020?  If you don’t, that’s ok because I’ll remind you now and she has a local opportunity to advance her struggle to stay relevant.  It’s Jeanne Dietsch of Peterborough, founder of Granite State Matters, and there are a few details of ...

Are NH Family Courts Doomed?

Sun, 2025-03-23 12:00 +0000
New Hampshire’s Family Court System is regarded as one of the last places on earth you’d want to find yourself. In response to cries for help from the tyrannical nonsense it emits, legislators tried to abolish them. The bill was retained in committee. They can work on it and bring it back for review and ...

The Department of Education is Unconstitutional

Sun, 2025-03-23 10:00 +0000
Or, so says a 1941 book published by the U.S. Government This is a PDF version of a book published by the federal government in 1941. In the book, there is a series of questions. On Page 128, one of the questions is “Where, in the Constitution, is education mentioned? And the answer:   “There is none; education is ... Read more

The Bird Flu Program and the Normalization of Animal Genocide

Sun, 2025-03-23 02:00 +0000
he bird flu program has been run by cruel dolts. One of its effects is to normalize animal genocide, and to cull birds in particularly horrible and painful ways. Some methods being used are banned for culling livestock, but somehow birds were not included in the law for livestock. It seems that the red lines ... Read more

Rogue Robes Activist Judges Who Think They Outrank the President

Sun, 2025-03-23 00:00 +0000
The American system was founded on a simple idea: three branches of government, each with its distinct role. The president executes the law, Congress creates it, and the judiciary interprets it. However, at some point, activist judges became more than just referees; they began seeing themselves as emperors, wielding gavels like scepters and rewriting the ... Read more

New Hampshire’s School funding Doesn’t Make Sense

…And NO ONE IS LOOKING INTO WHY The New England Take is kicking off a new series, “The Cost of Education.” Everyone focuses on the per-pupil cost and what the New Hampshire Statehouse is looking at, but not why rural towns pay twice as much as cities, why cities like Portsmouth are saying they are ...

Gangsters, Terrorists, and Deep State Judicial Tyranny

Sat, 2025-03-22 22:00 +0000
The primary purpose of the federal judiciary is to make sure that anything the federal government does is almost never, ever, ruled to be unconstitutional. This is Hamilton’s constitutional regime. A believer in unlimited government, Alexander Hamilton’s constitutional belief was that the constitution can and should be used as a rubber stamp on unlimited government ... Read more

Much Ado About Property Taxes

Sat, 2025-03-22 20:00 +0000
Property taxes are a problem. Towns and cities use imaginary value to charge taxes for profits you have not nor may ever realize, and the drunken sailors then spend it all and come back for more. Sometimes, they pretend to cut taxes by lowering the rates per thousand (on assessed value). Still, when calculated against ... Read more

Using Medicalization to Suppress the Exercise of First Amendment Rights

Sat, 2025-03-22 18:00 +0000
A repugnant tactic of authoritarianism is categorizing people’s desire for or exercise of freedom as illness that government should suppress. An example of this was the deeming of dissidents in the Soviet Union as mentally ill to justify their detention and punishment. In America, there has long been resistance against an effort to similarly have the United ... Read more

#BelieveWomen

Sat, 2025-03-22 16:00 +0000
Here’s a biological fact. You can’t be a trans girl or transwoman unless you were born male. And no, this not my first rodeo with that inconvenient reality, nor is this the last. The mere suggestion twists so many progressive panties, whether there’s a penis in there or not, that it bears repeating. Then there’s ... Read more

Listen to the Teachers

Sat, 2025-03-22 14:00 +0000
Some of the worst fads in education have come from education reformers with no track record of success in public education. So when you hear the term “student-centered learning,” you might want to consider what this means. Student-centered learning sounds good, but what does it look like in the classroom? I’ve already reported on how ... Read more

Bill Classifies ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ as a Mental Illness

Sat, 2025-03-22 12:00 +0000
This is funny because it’s true. It isn’t easy to disagree with the classification because we all know or have seen someone who has it. TDS has turned millions of seemingly average liberals into pro-war, pro-deep state, pro-Cheney family wingnuts who oppose anyone seen as insufficiently anti-Trump. Episodes erupt like psychotic breaks. Peace becomes capitulation, ... Read more

Will The Democrats Have Anything Left To Embrace

Sat, 2025-03-22 10:00 +0000
The Democrats are now the Party of Haters and Destructors. There is nothing they stand for other than being anti-Trump. They have no policies or legislation to counter the MAGA initiative. Their stand is the opposite of whatever Trump and the Republicans push for the American people. The Trump haters do not understand a politician ... Read more
