MACDONALD: A Sex Offender Named Dick Cox

Mon, 2025-09-29 02:00 +0000

Before we get into the lurid details, I’m a bit surprised registered Sex Offender Dick Cox (who identifies as female for the purpose of exposing himself in girls’/women’s locker rooms and showers) isn’t from New Hampshire.

KLAR: Charlie Kirk Taught Colleges How to Teach

Sun, 2025-09-28 21:00 +0000

Anyone who has listened to Charlie Kirk’s presentations at colleges understands his brilliance, not just in his rhetorical speaking events but because of where and how he platformed them. Charlie knew from his own experience that colleges were eclipsing rather than amplifying critical thinking. He schooled socialist college professors at their own institutions and demonstrated ...

OPINION: You’ll Have To Vote Out The #Woke Untouchables

Sun, 2025-09-28 18:00 +0000

The issue at hand is much deeper than a Council vote of 11 to 4, allowing Bobby Williams to keep his seat as councilman, misrepresenting Ward 2 residents in Keene. Based on his vile and cold-hearted comments celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Bobby apparently represents the far left’s elitist mindset marinated in resentment and ... Read more

MACDONALD: Greta’s Gaza Flotilla Springs Queer “Leak”

Sun, 2025-09-28 11:00 +0000

Most of what we’ve heard about the Gaza Flotilla revolves around Muppet Greta Thunberg’s participation. She’s the high-profile attendee. The name or face of a 52-vessel effort to get mostly symbolic humanitarian aid past the Israeli military blockade. Israel isn’t going to let them pass, and they all likely know this, but the boats are ... Read more

MOFFETT: Knowledge, Ignorance, and HB112

Sat, 2025-09-27 16:00 +0000

Our New Hampshire legislature gets many education bills—over 100 just last year—covering building aid, commission memberships, free school meal eligibility, cyber-bullying, masking, menstrual product policies, and much more. While some measures address important issues, most have little or no impact on learning, pedagogy, or knowledge acquisition. An exception was HB320 in 2021, which required that ... Read more

The Democrats who should be leading this rudderless ship continue to tell us how deep their bench is, but reality shows they are blowing smoke into the wind.
