MACDONALD: The “Neo-Confederate Nullificationists”

Mon, 2025-10-06 21:00 +0000

Victor Davis Hanson just dropped a new term to describe the Democrat crime lords calling themselves mayors who oversee the party’s larger urban left-wing vote farms. Those big blue cities that skew the crime numbers that try to hide illegal border jumpers, especially if they are child sex trafficking rapists or murderers. They rely heavily ... Read more

Cardello: Length of Shutdown May Hinge on Definition of American

Mon, 2025-10-06 18:00 +0000

Government shutdowns are not frequent events, which is great for Congress, because they serve as Exhibit #1 for how childish both sides can be. I hear better debate from the front of my elementary school bus, where the youngest children are seated. The 24/7 media is filled with the various faces of Congress blaming the ... Read more

SMITH: Nashua Recounts and Their Narrow Window of Opportunity

Mon, 2025-10-06 14:00 +0000

With city elections just a month away, it’s a good idea for candidates to be familiar with their city’s “operations manual” regarding recounts, regardless of the city, but especially in Nashua.  As Alderman Dowd’s previous opponent, I was refused a recount.  Before any readers call me a sore loser or (insert preferred insult here), some ...

MACDONALD: “Going Postal” Just Got Less Attractive…

Mon, 2025-10-06 09:00 +0000

Beginning in the mid-eighties (1980s), a series of disgruntled civil service employees working for the United States Postal Service took out their frustration by shooting up post offices. The term “going postal” was born and generally applied to anyone who completely lost it in the workplace or in regard to it. Post offices were soft ... Read more

OPINION: Individualism and the Violence of the Identitarian Left

Mon, 2025-10-06 02:00 +0000

Many people were shocked to see the identitarian left erupting in ghoulish celebration when news broke that Charlie Kirk had been assassinated. Students who despised Kirk’s political views were seen chanting, “We got Charlie in the neck.” The British sociologist Frank Furedi argues that these students are not confined to a radical, unhinged fringe, nor do they merely ...

MACDONALD: Dems Shutdown The Government Over Circumcisions in Zambia?

Sun, 2025-10-05 21:00 +0000

While we continue to rant about the Dems holding Democrat civil servants hostage in exchange for “health care for illegals,” it turns out there are several other priorities in play. Yes, they want you to pay for health insurance for non-citizens, but they also want “$3 million for circumcisions and vasectomies in Zambia.”  That’s according ... Read more

In my first column after the events of Jan. 6th, 2021, I criticized those who called the protest a “coup,” pointing out that “Some of the same politicians and bureaucrats denouncing the ridiculous farce at the Capitol as if it were the equivalent of 9/11 have been involved for decades in planning and executing real ...

JANZ: No “Birthright” Citizenship for Non-Citizen Aliens

Sun, 2025-10-05 16:00 +0000

For the purposes of this discussion, I will not use the term “illegal alien” to indicate someone who is currently in the US through illegal means. Instead, I will refer to them, and those who have been granted visitor status (which including “green card” holders), as “noncitizen aliens”. One of the questions before the SCOTUS ... Read more

MACDONALD: Canada is Seizing Firearms

Sun, 2025-10-05 11:00 +0000

Canada is about to enforce another “assisted suicide” law – the seizure of once lawful firearms. It’s an assisted suicide law because they know you have them, how many, and probably where they are, and if you don’t voluntarily turn them over, the police will be visiting, and that’s likely to result in some hard ...

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
