OPINION: The Third Rail – COVID-19 Vaccines and Cancer

Tue, 2025-12-30 22:00 +0000

I’m going to touch on a highly controversial subject, one that has become the third rail among cancer biologists and the broader medical community: the possible link between COVID-19 vaccination and cancer. Because my laboratory’s mission is centered on cancer prevention, I cannot in good conscience ignore the elephant in the room.  As my colleague, ... Read more

MACDONALD: If You Choose To be Ignorant, All The Better

Tue, 2025-12-30 19:00 +0000

Whenever people who have access to power or influence (that includes money) insist that you do not need certain basic skills, you should be suspicious. If they tell you that reading, math, language skills, especially the primary language of the nation in which you live, is racist, discriminatory, or – in today’s example – a ... Read more

Tue, 2025-12-30 17:00 +0000

Harold Hutchison – Daily Caller News Foundation Salem Radio Network host Scott Jennings told “This Week” guest host Jonathan Karl on Sunday that President Donald Trump’s efforts to address illegal immigration represented his “biggest” fulfillment of a campaign promise in 2025.

CARDELLO: It is Not Racist or Islamophobic to be Worried About America

Tue, 2025-12-30 15:00 +0000

I realize I devoted my most recent article to the Islamic invasion of America. Still, I absorbed a plethora of information over the weekend about the depth of the fraud and corruption in Minnesota, and now in Maine, that I feel we cannot cover this situation enough. A friend of ours is from Edina, which is a ... Read more

SMITH: A NH Paint Tax SQUAD?

Tue, 2025-12-30 10:00 +0000

When someone says “The Squad,” most people think of AOC and three other far-left young women of color in DC, but why should they have a monopoly on those words?  Old white men in NH who call themselves Republicans appear to want in on it.  They just don’t know it.  Look at this fearsome foursome ...

RON PAUL: A Christmas Gift to the War Machine

Tue, 2025-12-30 03:00 +0000

Late last week, Congress passed, and President Trump signed the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The bill marks the first time the US military budget officially passed the one trillion dollar mark.

GrokTALK!: What Happened to the Word “Conservatism”?

Tue, 2025-12-30 01:00 +0000

This week on GrokTALK! [Rewind] What happened to the word “conservatism”? The Neocons and RINOs wear it like a skin suit, muddying not just its meaning but how the world views people who claim to be conservative. What does it mean, what are its goals, and can we get there from here? Originally aired Jun ... Read more

MACDONALD: Somali Fraud is Another Dem Campaign Funding Op

Mon, 2025-12-29 22:00 +0000

I can’t say for how long Somali fraud schemes will dominate searches in the real world. That would be, ironically, the internet world, which can tend to be more surreal than real. The supposed media isn’t doing any heavy lifting on these stories if they lift anything at all. Locally, WMUR, News 9, has zero ... Read more

ORTOLANO: Viewpoint Discrimination in Plain Sight

Mon, 2025-12-29 19:00 +0000

Nashua’s Weaponized Decorum In Nashua, the definition of “civility” is not a fixed principle; it is a sliding scale that depends entirely on who holds the microphone. On August 26, 2021, I used a single vulgar word during a public meeting to describe a City Attorney’s conduct. My frustration was the culmination of a seven-month ... Read more

CLINE: Would You Invest in Massachusetts or New Hampshire?

Mon, 2025-12-29 15:00 +0000

If U.S. states were companies that traded on the stock market, the only New England state with a “buy” rating would probably be New Hampshire.  Massachusetts could be called “Big Blue,” the tradition-bound leader cruising on its prior reputation, but falling behind smaller upstarts that have embraced innovation and rapid growth.  New Hampshire would be ...

OPINION: Reclaiming the Antistate Roots of Christmas

Mon, 2025-12-29 10:00 +0000

While Christians the world over look to the celebration as a way to remember the incarnation of Christ, some dismiss it as a Christianized version of the ancient Rome’s Saturnalia. Whatever one’s view happens to be, I humbly suggest that it ought to be used by Christians and non-Christians alike as a reflection upon a collision ... Read more
