The Gemma Observatory sits on a remote peak in the northeastern state, at the centre of a “dark” zone with a three-mile radius. Unobstructed by light pollution, the setting is ideal for astronomical observation. | More…
A Democrat Idea I actually Agree With
Nothing Democrats want as a party advances liberty, so there is almost nothing they want that I could ever agree to, except perhaps for this, for all the obvious reasons.

The (New Public School) Lord’s Prayer
This is credited to a 15-year-old school kid who got an A+ for this entry.
Because the Lord’s Prayer is not allowed in most U.S. Public schools any more a kid in Minnesota wrote the following NEW School Prayer:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule.
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.
If scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
The Healthcare Debacle, District 16 Senate Race, a Trans Rally and a Declining Legacy
Rich talked to Kimberly Morin of NH Political Buzz for Politically Buzzed. They started by discussing the health care debacle, tackling Senator Jeanne Shaheen’s desire to fix Obamacare. They then addressed the District 16 Senate race, Manchester’s trans rally and a Democratic weekly address, in which they basically admitted that President Barack Obama was a failure. | Segment Page

Cornerstone: NH Bills to Watch for in 2018
From Cornerstone’s email newsletter
*****
Some bills were retained to be studied later this year (and the Cornerstone team will be watching!), and those bills will be voted on in early 2018. Others were tabled, and we could see the same subjects coming up next year.
- HB 478, The Bathroom Bill, on gender identity: tabled.
- HB 587, a ban on so-called “conversion therapy”: retained.
- HB 180, requiring post-secondary educational institutions to report on how many students require remedial courses, and where those students received high school education: retained.
- HB 287, to study the decriminalization of prostitution: retained.
- HB 396, student data privacy: tabled.
- HB 471, abortion statistics: retained.
- HB 578, restricting abortions after viability: tabled.
- SB 247, the lead-paint remediation bill: retained. This is the one that inexplicably provides remediation funds to landlords but not to homeowners. It also violates parental rights by mandating blood tests on children as a condition of school enrollment.
You Wont Believe What The National Science Foundation Is Funding In New Hampshire
The National Science Foundation (NSF) came under scrutiny years ago for causing damage to math education in the United States. Professor David Klein, a Mathematician from California State University, wrote a letter to then, Representative Boehlert and Members of the House Science Committee, exposing the damaging effects in math education that came from the National Science Foundation grants. | More…

If you were planning to tune into Sunday Night With Megyn Kelly next Sunday – and, let’s face it, you probably weren’t – there’s a good chance the show won’t be on. And there’s a good chance the show will never be on again, with NBC reportedly pulling it from the lineup following a ratings nosedive. | More…

Steve MacDonald and the New Media Militia
If you missed it, or just want to hear it again, this is my new segment on the Girard at Large Radio program. It is called (drumroll?) The New Media Militia.
Rich and I talk about the goal of the online project and in bringing it to the radio, the need for more New Media Militia members, the war with the professional left, and a few asides like the District 16 State Senate Race and a question about the recent Trans Rally. | Segment Page
