Opinion: The Rotten Core of Claremont – The Skimming Effect

Tue, 2025-08-05 14:00 +0000
It is not just incompetence or confusion, but the deliberate *channeling of power, privilege, and money* toward insiders while the rest of us foot the bill and fight over scraps. Whether it’s Claremont’s local swamp or the DNC’s national machine, the pattern is the same. You want to clean it up? You start by pulling ... Read more

MacDonald: Not Helping ICE is a Slippery Slope

Tue, 2025-08-05 11:00 +0000
Southern Border states get the bulk of the news stories about illegal entrants, drugs, and human trafficking, but in late 2023 to early 2024, Northern Border states began to steal some of the spotlight. The Biden Cartel and others were using the distractions in the south to take advantage of opportunities in the north. The ... Read more

Warner: The Epstein Insult

Tue, 2025-08-05 02:00 +0000
Despite being heavily stitched into the Iran-Contra scandal, the 2007 market crash, and the growing surveillance state, Jeffrey Epstein is given to us by the media as a sleazy lothario whose predilection for barely pubescent girls was resolved by both his death and the imprisonment of his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell.  However, the media aren’t alone ...

GrokTALK!: Wind Farm Blues

Tue, 2025-08-05 00:00 +0000
This week is all about wind, and how the Trump Administration is protecting public land onshore and offshore from wasteful “energy” projects that underutilize the resource (land), under-deliver, harm wildlife, and compromise America’s needs, with some special attention on the Gulf of Maine. Here is the offshore wind image I intended to put into the ... Read more

MacDonald: The RISE of FAFO Parenting?

Mon, 2025-08-04 21:00 +0000
Young people have been feeling trapped in a pit of economic hopelessness. They rent everything, accumulate debt, and see no path to success that’s even like the faltering efforts of the generation before them. Much of this malaise is the result of Democrat party priorities. Hate on white men, feminize everything, shift to a centrally ... Read more

Opinion: The Rotten Core of Claremont

Mon, 2025-08-04 18:00 +0000
How a City Government Lost Its Mind, Its Grip, and Your Trust Let’s not sugar-coat it, folks: the Claremont city government couldn’t manage a lemonade stand, let alone a tax incentive program like RSA 79-E. What’s happening in this city is beyond negligence—it’s bureaucratic malpractice wrapped in cluelessness and tied with a bow of smug, ... Read more

Cardello: Chuck Schumer – Legislator Or Obstructionist

Mon, 2025-08-04 14:00 +0000
If Chuck Schumer (D-NY) were a Republican, he would have been removed from any position of power years ago by his colleagues. In the Democrat Party, he is a feckless superstar. Schumer is a political hack. He is New York’s answer to Maxine Waters with eyeglasses dangling precipitously on the tip of her nose. You ... Read more

Why Footballers Like Ronaldo Rely on Sports Massage—and What You Can Learn From Them

Mon, 2025-08-04 11:23 +0000
When you think of footballers like Cristiano Ronaldo, you probably imagine raw talent, incredible speed, and unstoppable drive. But what often gets overlooked is the amount of behind-the-scenes work these athletes put into maintaining their performance—especially recovery. And one of the most consistent tools in their recovery toolkit? Sports massage. Whether it’s Premier League players or weekend ... Read more

MacDonald: Nailed It! But Will it Matter?

Mon, 2025-08-04 11:00 +0000
Back in the day, when whoever was running the Biden administration raided President Trump’s home in Mar-a-lago so FBI agents could finger Melania’s panties, we speculated they were looking for the missing crossfire hurricane binder. The swamp creatures were terrified that some compromising intelligence had gone missing and the recently former president used his top ... Read more

Smith: Upcoming Nashua Library Event Offerings

Mon, 2025-08-04 02:00 +0000
Some readers are already familiar with my most recent article, “The Future of Nashua’s Library,” which highlights a public comment opportunity on August 6. Additionally, there are two other events worth noting: the first is on Monday night, August 4.  It’s called “Women Run” and features three public servant panelists.  Shewanda Daniels Williams (SDW) was ...

MacDonald: This is Weird

Sun, 2025-08-03 21:00 +0000
A group of “protesters” appeared in front of the New Hampshire State House yesterday. Red shirts, black pants, swastika flags, faces covered. You’d expect them to be from NSC-131, the local white supremacy group, and maybe they are, but we’ve got questions. The affiliation of the marchers was not immediately clear Saturday afternoon. Hate groups ... Read more

Klar: Passionate Political Pushback

Sun, 2025-08-03 18:00 +0000
The attacks against Robert F Kennedy Jr. throughout his campaign for US president and during his nomination for Health and Human Services secretary have not abated. Detractors criticize him personally for a litany of alleged transgressions, in the style of Kennedy Derangement Syndrome (KDS). To counter the slanderous claims about Kennedy’s policies and reach more ... Read more

Obituary: Augusta Petrone

Sun, 2025-08-03 16:00 +0000
We lost Augusta over the weekend. She was a great encouragement and supporter of what we do here as well as the efforts of so many around New Hampshire. Augusta always made me feel welcome, special, and essential, and she was generous beyond understanding to so many people and causes in New Hampshire and beyond. ... Read more

Roper: Court Decision Highlights Need to Repeal the “Right to Sue”

Sun, 2025-08-03 14:00 +0000
The Global Warming Solutions Act (GWSA) contains a provision that gives standing to anyone who wants to sue the state, at taxpayers’ expense, if we fail to meet that law’s unrealistic, unattainable greenhouse gas reduction mandates. It’s known as the “private right of action” clause. The first case brought under the private right of action ... Read more

What to Prepare for Watching Live-Stream Sports Outdoor?

Sun, 2025-08-03 11:11 +0000
Watching live-stream sports in an outdoor setting brings a different kind of energy. Camping by the woods, picnicking in a quiet park, or holding a tailgate party can all make the match feel more lively and enjoyable.  However, the serene outdoor setting alone does not guarantee a good viewing experience. If you do not plan in ... Read more

MacDonald: Alejandro Mayorkas in Chains?

Sun, 2025-08-03 11:00 +0000
Ann Colter’s got a great piece over at Townhall directed at former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. She wants to know why he hasn’t been arrested yet. It’s a fair question, as is “to whose homeland he was actually secretary of,” given his primary mission was to undermine the security of the Homeland. It’s not ... Read more

Opinion: Republican Form of Government 

Sun, 2025-08-03 02:00 +0000
On the last day of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, September 18, 1787, Benjamin Franklin was asked by a lady whether the government being proposed for the new nation was to be a Republic or a Monarchy? His now-famous response was, “A Republic, Madam, if you can keep it.” Republics are one of the world’s ... Read more
