Widdershins means “counter-clockwise, anti-clockwise, or lefthandwise.” The term also describes the dance of witches around a fire or cauldron, or a bunch of divorcees around one of their ex-husbands. Contrarywise or left-handed made the term a more than curious way to describe the political left, and with the rise of the AWFLs, there you go. ... Read more

The Stromsted family was well known in Pepperell, especially for the giant pool behind their home on Mt. Lebanon St. I attended several pool parties there and other gatherings as a classmate of the youngest daughter, Siri.  A handful of kids’ parents were known as serial volunteers, and Mrs. Stromsted was one of them long ...

If you’re not sure what a Socialist America might look like, this is something of a giveaway. DSA darlings fly private jets and stay in luxury hotels so they can give speeches about affordability and all the “Free” stuff their government will give you.

Derek Thibeault’s recent Soapbox article in InDepthNH once again demonstrates a selective presentation of the facts.

Political polls have become less accurate over the last 20 years, and I question whether they should be part of the process or stopped altogether.
