MacDonald: So, What Did Trump Get In Return?

Thu, 2025-07-17 18:00 +0000
Aside From Pissing Off Half His Base The strange, bizarre, complete 180 on the long-promised, pending revelations in the Epstein Files has a lot of people pissed off. Taken at face value, a human trafficking operation likely coordinated between US and Israeli Intelligence through Jeffrey Epstein (and a handful of wealthy connected persons of interest) ...

Thu, 2025-07-17 16:00 +0000
New Hampshire ruling kicks the issue back to the Supremes Frustration over activist judges issuing sweeping national injunctions to block the president’s initiatives culminated in the US Supreme Court decision of Trump v CASA, Inc.

Cardello: When People Don’t Do Their Job, Innocent People Die

Thu, 2025-07-17 14:00 +0000
We have talked about and seen many examples of the Democrat hyperbole equating any cut in government spending to the deaths that will result. Cut funding for abortions, and thousands of young pregnant women will die. Yet when shelves of formula were empty in grocery and drug stores during Biden’s term, the sound you heard ... Read more

MacDonald: New Law Nixes “Sustainability” Board from Energy Planning

Thu, 2025-07-17 11:00 +0000
Amidst the plethora of good and bad things signed by Governor Ayotte this week were some much-needed baby steps on the matter of New Hampshire’s energy independence. The Granite State is tied to ISO New England and, by extension, the destructive green energy priorities of the surrounding states—all of them. Our already too-high electric rates ... Read more

Opinion: Declaring the City of Keene an LGBTQ+ Sanctuary City

Thu, 2025-07-17 02:00 +0000
Dear PLD Committee and Council Members, The July 9th PLD meeting on declaring the City of Keene as a Sanctuary City was for me a dysfunctional display of groupthink in action. The lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer + (LGBTQ+) community claimed (without measurable evidence, KPD police incident reports on assaults, or other metrics) that they ... Read more

MacDonald: Your Town Could Be Targeted Next If You Don’t Sign This Petition

Wed, 2025-07-16 21:00 +0000
The moment that you isolate any group politically for special recognition or privilege, the idea that we are all the same goes out the window. Equality is only possible in concept or fact if our most common denominator defines us. We are all human; therefore, human rights apply to everyone. It becomes unnecessary to enumerate ... Read more

Banfield: Ayotte Must Value Money More Than Parental Rights

Wed, 2025-07-16 18:00 +0000
Sadly, Governor Ayotte vetoed some important Bills including HB446. HB446 would have required parental consent when their child is given the CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Survey in school. New Hampshire already has a law that requires parental consent when their children take a non-academic survey in school. There is ONE exception, and that is the ... Read more

It will be a breath of fresh air when Nancy Pelosi finally decides to yield her seat to a younger generation. She should have stepped down when she lost her Speaker’s gig, but there is far too much to gain by being in the House. Not only does she financially enhance family and friends by ... Read more

MacDonald: Job Options for Former Department of Education Employees

Wed, 2025-07-16 11:00 +0000
The Federal Department of Education is finally getting a haircut. The 1400 workers it tried to let go can stay gone. If the streamlining goes as planned, the Department of Education may one day find itself able to achieve its statutory objectives with very few employees and at a fraction of its nearly $ 268 ...

MacDonald: Peak No Car Inspection Fearmongering Has Arrived

Wed, 2025-07-16 02:00 +0000
The handmaiden media doesn’t have its hands full with the legislative session over, so it needs something to fill those “column inches.” How about scaring people! The media loves those stories, and New Hampshire just eliminated inspection for passenger vehicles. You are going to have to share the road with people who not only don’t ... Read more

MacDonald: Just Call Her ‘Sue Me’ Sandy Cortez

Tue, 2025-07-15 21:00 +0000
I get it. Being bombastic, hyperbolic, and a bit edgy with the verbiage can be attractive to an audience overwhelmed with milqetoast political dumbfuckery. See what I did there? From Marjorie Taylor Greene to Jasmine Crockett, we’ve seen the rise of old-school political banter. It’s not uncivil, it was, in fact, common during the nation’s ... Read more
