MacDonald: Wrong Color Refugee Problem

Wed, 2025-05-21 22:00 +0000
The recent matter of white South African refugees waving American flags upon their arrival in the United States has more triggers than a gun store. Lefties are losing what passes for their hive mind. And I can’t help but wonder if Mr. Trump and his crew did not orchestrate this process to allow Dems to ... Read more

MacDonald: DC Dem Discovers Inconvenient Truth About the Minimum Wage

Wed, 2025-05-21 20:00 +0000
Don’t expect them to admit that you were right. About what? Raising the minimum wage for tipped employees would result in lost hours, fewer jobs, higher prices, and restaurant closings. If you are reading this, assuming you are not some progressive troll, you knew that. The real minimum wage is zero, which is where more ... Read more

Seeking signatures for an important MAHA letter A battle for our health currently centers on the use of pesticides and other chemicals in American farming.

Cutting Military Spending Would Make for a Big and Beautiful Bill

Wed, 2025-05-21 14:00 +0000
Last week, Moody’s Ratings lowered the United States credit rating. Fitch Ratings and S&P Global Ratings had already lowered the US rating. This new downgrade was driven by Congress’s failure to make any efforts to reduce the almost 37 trillion dollars national debt. When Moody’s made its announcement, the House Budget Committee was scrambling to ... Read more

If you missed last night’s Granite State Live, there have been some changes, but one thing remains the same. Keith Hanson continues to deliver epic takedowns and rants that melt the internet.

Lemiska: Another Democratic Brainstorm – Sidling up to Evil

Wed, 2025-05-21 10:00 +0000
It’s no wonder that the approval ratings for the Democrat Party remain at record lows. Party leaders can’t seem to come up with an agenda that isn’t devious, deceptive, and self-serving. More often than not, their political strategies are just plain bizarre. Who can forget their “defund the police” fiasco? During the 2020 presidential election, ... Read more

Bovard: There’s No Vaccination against Unlimited Political Power

Wed, 2025-05-21 02:00 +0000
Late in the last century, theater goers were jolted when a character in the X-Files movie declared that the Federal Emergency Management Agency can allow “the White House to suspend constitutional government upon declaration of a national emergency.” If the same line was used before thoughtful movie audiences nowadays, the response might be bitter cat ...

Wed, 2025-05-21 00:00 +0000
Real Clear Wire The Secret Service may try to force former FBI Director James Comey to answer pointed questions into a social media post he issued depicting an image of “8647,” but a U.S. attorney whom President Trump appointed will determine whether to prosecute Comey over the post.

Mills: A New IEA Report and the Iberian Blackout End Dreams of an ‘Energy Transition’

Tue, 2025-05-20 22:00 +0000
RealClear Wire It’s no secret that the Republican’s “Big Beautiful Bill” plans to axe large swaths of mandates and billions of dollars in subsidies directed at achieving a so-called “energy transition.” If that budget axe falls, it will be the proverbial third strike that puts to rest the idea that the U.S., never mind the ...

JR Hoell: Take Action. Today.

Tue, 2025-05-20 20:00 +0000
We stand at a pivotal moment to challenge the unconstitutional restrictions of the National Firearms Act (NFA) concerning suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and short-barreled shotguns. Two critical bills—the Hearing Protection Act (H.R. 404) and the Stop Harassing Owners of Rifles Today (SHORT) Act (H.R. 2395)—must be included in an upcoming budget reconciliation omnibus bill. These bills will eliminate ... Read more

MacDonald: The Indoor Tanning Lobby Has More Pull Than the US Constitution?

Tue, 2025-05-20 16:00 +0000
You’d be right to wonder why, when you’ve finally got a majority in both chambers and the Chief Executive is one of yours, you’d waste your time on a bunt when you could swing for the fences. Ironically, we’ve got that in New Hampshire and DC, but Republicans don’t seem to know what to do ... Read more

Monohan: Grafton County Commissioners Disgraceful Behavior

Tue, 2025-05-20 14:00 +0000
I have served the people of Grafton County as the register of deeds since 2011. It has been a rocky road, as I am outspoken and passionate about what I do for the people who have an interest in real property in this beautiful county. I also have far too much experience in handling bullies.  ... Read more

Imani: De Niro’s Trump obsession and Hollywood’s hypocrisy

Tue, 2025-05-20 02:00 +0000
For over a decade, Robert De Niro, one of Hollywood’s most celebrated actors, has been a vocal critic of Donald Trump, escalating his attacks from pointed critiques to expletive-laden rants. His disdain for the former president, whom he has called everything from a “punk” to a “clown,” has become as defining as his iconic roles ... Read more
