MACDONALD: Yes, Democrats Want You To Pay For Benefits For Illegals

Sat, 2025-10-04 18:00 +0000

I’ve shared some of this outside the blog space, so my apologies if you’ve seen it already, but I had to comment as well. Jeanne Shaheen is an F-ing joke. She knows damn well what her party’s priorities are and why. She’s inside, an architect, so this is nothing short of a bald-faced lie she ... Read more

KLAR: ‘Moms Across America’ Accelerates Fight

Sat, 2025-10-04 16:00 +0000

On September 10 and 11, the Moms Across America Movement (MAAM), a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, petitioned Democrat and Republican members of Congress to reject Section 453 of the Fiscal Year 2026 Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill, which many legal experts warn would indirectly shield pesticide manufacturers from product liability claims in state courts. The congressional visit was ... Read more

Sat, 2025-10-04 14:00 +0000

Top of the fold: Hamas has officially declined the peace agreement that over 30 countries approved of (including several Muslim countries).  They truly don’t want peace, or the two state solution.  I say:  Let Israel wipe them off the map. Senior Hamas Official Tells BBC Hamas Refusing Ceasefire Proposal – Geller Report The UK has ... Read more

Morning Update: Sen. Shaheen Gets Owned on Live TV!

Sat, 2025-10-04 12:00 +0000

New Hampshire’s senior U.S. senator, Jeanne Shaheen, says she doesn’t know any Democrats who want taxpayers to fund healthcare for illegals. I doubt she knows any that don’t, and someone came with receipts.

MACDONALD: Democrats Did “Shut Down” the Government and They Did It For Nothing

Sat, 2025-10-04 10:00 +0000

If you had any doubts about who is running the Democratic party these days, it is not Democrats per se. Yes, they are in the party, but most of them are not in elected office. They are the monsters the elected Democrats created, hatched over decades from the White Towers, kept warm by white hate ... Read more

IMANI: The Birth of a Jihadist

Sat, 2025-10-04 02:00 +0000

Astounded by what fanatic Muslims do, some conclude that Muslims are brainwashed. Otherwise, how can their totally illogical belief system and barbaric behavior be explained? But the notion of “brainwashing” that is bandied about is the stuff of science fiction and Hollywood movies such as The Manchurian Candidate. The human person arrives in this world ... Read more

UNDERWOOD: The Democrats Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Republicans…

Fri, 2025-10-03 21:00 +0000

With Democrats claiming that the government has shut down because Republicans don’t want to deal with health care, it’s time for a reminder that if Democrats really want to provide subsidized health care to people who think that’s a good idea, they don’t need Republicans to do that:   If the UK can implement a single-payer ...

ROPER: Data and Analysis? Not So Much

Fri, 2025-10-03 18:00 +0000

State Auditor Doug Hoffer’s latest newsletter called out a remarkable statistic about Vermont’s homeless crisis. In less than a decade, we have spent over $800 million to “fix” homelessness. Nearly $100 million on the motel voucher program in 2023 alone. But that’s not the really remarkable part. The truly remarkable part is that, despite the influx of ... Read more

BRADLEY: Support for Bruce Cheney for Mayor

Fri, 2025-10-03 14:00 +0000

I would like to offer a comparison of the two candidates running for Mayor of Laconia, Councilor Bruce Cheney and Michael Bordes. Voters have a choice between two different candidates, and I hope to make a clear distinction between them. On one hand we have Michael Bordes who moved to Laconia approximately 10 years ago ...

Morning Update: New Pope, Same As The Old Pope

Fri, 2025-10-03 11:00 +0000

Today on the GT morning update, Pope Leo takes up Pope Francis’s Climate Baton, and tries to beat Catholics (and anyone who will listen) with it – rhetorically, of course.

MACDONALD: Wassup With TrumpRx and Pfizer

Fri, 2025-10-03 09:00 +0000

Mr. Trump doesn’t think like most of us. He sees everything as having potential. A resource to be tapped or leveraged, even when that might have been the enemy in the past. With the right deal, we can take that thing, whatever it is, and put it to good use. This is why he talks ... Read more

MACDONALD: You Can Buy Augusta Petrone’s Home for 15 Million

Thu, 2025-10-02 21:00 +0000

I’m not sure who is lining up to purchase this magnificent and historic property, but Knowllwood is a beautiful place, which most of us know as the home of Augusta Petrone. Augusta passed away last month, and the property has been left for her sister, Mitzi Purdue, to put on the market. Known as Knollwood, 4 ... Read more

CARDELLO: Glad Kamala and Tim Remind Us of What Could Have Been

Thu, 2025-10-02 18:00 +0000

What a gift for Republicans to have Kamala Harris doing a book tour and getting time on every WOKE program she can book, from Morning Joe to the Joy Reid podcast. Unfortunately for her and the Democrats, she appears guilty of day-drinking, and her answers are a collection of word salads. She sat with Mika ... Read more

GIRARD: Invective against Levasseur Sidesteps Important Questions

Thu, 2025-10-02 16:00 +0000

As the Board of Mayor and Aldermen moves to replace at-Large Alderman Joe Kelly Levasseur as its chair, it has both avoided the very questionable conduct of a city department head and embarked on a course of action that would place unconstitutional restrictions on the First Amendment rights of elected officials. Levasseur is “in trouble,” ... Read more
