One does not need to be in Nashua to be familiar with Ward 8’s biggest loudmouth, Rep. Laura Telerski.  She always has something to say, no matter the level of government, and she delights in airing her opinion at every opportunity.  She’s akin to that FOOL that’s mentioned in Proverbs 18:2.  On the heels of ...

Government shutdowns, even partial ones, are inexcusable, disruptive to the American way of life, and potentially dangerous to national security if certain departments are defunded during the downtime.

The shellacking the New England Patriots received at the hands of the Seattle Seahawks is analogous to the decisive blows God-fearing patriots have suffered for decades.
