ROPER: The Lynching of Sam Douglass

Sat, 2025-10-25 16:00 +0000

Senator Sam Douglass was in a group chat of Young Republicans where some people did say some truly disgusting things. There were undeniably antisemitic and anti-black racist terms used, and comments made. This came to light in an article by the hard-left, deeply partisan site, Politico, based on leaked transcripts. The Politico article was posted ... Read more

SMITH: I Am Supporting Scott Brown and So Should You

Sat, 2025-10-25 14:00 +0000

Before anyone tells me how unimportant my input is or reminds me of my previous article supporting Dan Innis, there are some things to consider.  Let’s start by remembering that a federal senatorial race is a statewide election.  Unlike a presidential election, only NH voters get to vote (lawfully and in theory), which makes it ...

MACDONALD: Are Dems Holding Out for Shutdown Stockholm Syndrome?

Sat, 2025-10-25 11:00 +0000

Dems squandered weeks of opportunity to address issues that were important to them. DHHS has a budget, and renewing the over-inflated, over-reaching COVID tax credits in the Unaffordable Care Act could have been part of those negotiations. Instead, they demanded it, along with some other crap, and held the entire government hostage. And that’s a ... Read more

Sat, 2025-10-25 02:00 +0000

The state of Louisiana has become the focal point of longstanding tensions between the well-intentioned goals of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to prevent racial discrimination and the specific provisions of the Constitution mandating that all citizens be treated equally, regardless of skin color.

MACDONALD: CO2 is Not a Pollutant

Fri, 2025-10-24 21:00 +0000

We can’t say this enough. Carbon Dioxide is not a pollutant. It is chemically incapable of achieving a tipping point. Accumulation leads to saturation, resulting in a decline in radiative forcing. There’s even evidence that the majority of the (irrelevant) rise has very little to do with human activity. CO2 is not just good for ... Read more

PAYNE: COVID Carnage

Fri, 2025-10-24 18:00 +0000

“At 84, if you don’t take the vaccine, you’re dead.” This advice from my doctor, checking me for COVID in 2020, increased my distrust. The doctor wasn’t on my side, but on the side of power hijacking the medical establishment. History doesn’t repeat, but human nature remains the same. Doctors being agents for the state ...

MACDONALD: A Few Thoughts on the Concord PD (Pronoun Department) And the AG’s Civil Rights “Itch”

Fri, 2025-10-24 09:00 +0000

The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office has been desperately trying to scratch an itch it can’t quite seem to reach—a high-profile case it could use, at least in my estimation, to leverage civil rights law to suppress protected speech. Create a hate speech exception, tied to state civil rights law, and let the Orwellian pall ... Read more

IMANI: Qatari Infiltration of the “Woke Right” Targets US Conservatives

Fri, 2025-10-24 02:00 +0000

Lightning cracks across America’s political skyline as Qatar’s sophisticated lobbying machine deploys over $250 million since 2016 to burrow into conservative media and influencers, aiming to fracture GOP unity on foreign policy and erode support for Israel’s security. This isn’t mere diplomacy; it’s a calculated surge, with Doha’s agents shifting more than 50% of their media ... Read more

MACDONALD: Remember The Party of No?

Thu, 2025-10-23 21:00 +0000

When it comes to debates over spending, priorities, and budgets, Senate Republicans appear more than happy to accommodate Democrats… in the 12 regular-order budgets yet to be debated and passed. But they won’t do anything like that until Democrats agree that those are where those conversations should happen. Republican senators were relieved when President Donald ... Read more

Perhaps certain words stick out to me more, but once again, while driving through my hometown, I observed dozens of peaceful protesters gathered in opposition to the democratically elected president, Donald Trump.
