Public Schools and Teachers Are Inherently Political, so Let’s Treat Them Accordingly

June 23, 2023 Ian Underwood

Read this. Then ask yourself: If 70 or 75 percent of parents want (or don’t want) their children to be treated a certain way, how is it that teachers and administrators are able to ignore them? It’s because we pretend that these positions are not political when in fact, they are. So they are protected … Read more

Notable Quote – “…A Battle Between Freedom and Subjugation”

June 9, 2023 Skip

Emphasis mine: Condemning capitalism is nothing new in this country. We’ve heard the angry criticisms all of our lives, and they weren’t novel when we were young. It’s tragic, really, that so many in the West see the tension between “capitalists” and their ideological opponents as merely a conflict between ideas about which economic system … Read more

Progressive “Love” Is a Lie

June 7, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Remember when the LGBT lobby said they only wanted civil unions, then demanded marriage anyway? Our entire experience with the movement, dominated by Left-Wing politics and tactics, echoes that one example.

Act Like Men Part 2: Politics and Passivity

June 3, 2023 Aaron Warner

Here in the Upper Valley the leadership among the local churches has a variety of approaches to leading their congregants, so far as teaching the Bible and sharing the gospel.

Dr. Naomi Wolf Apologizes to Republicans and Conservatives For Blindly Believing the Media and the Government

March 12, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Climate Hasn’t Changed in 80 Years…

January 30, 2023January 30, 2023 Steve Earle

Here on Monday, after the snowstorm blowing over the driveway, I sit here and recall a Letter To The Editor that I sent a week or two back stating the climate has not changed in all my 80 years. So, of course, the following week a writer scoffed at my observation. May I suggest that … Read more

Storm of the Century?

December 27, 2022 Steve Earle

Five feet of snow in Buffalo NY and it’s still coming down out there. Roofs are collapsing, the power is off, emergency equipment is stuck in snow drifts and people are dying.

Promoted from the Comments – a Grab Bag. And More Moderating

December 26, 2022 Skip

I really like reading comments from you readers – witty, smart, and on point. I have to admit and apologize that I kinda fell down on reading and moderating the last couple of months, though. We had a volunteer that took over moderation for a number of months for me so I could write more, … Read more

Woke Trojan Horse into Education Schools Twitter

Notable quote – I Just Wish That the GOP, Especially the NH GOP and Elected Republicans, Showed as Much of a Grasp on Things as Musk

November 30, 2022 Skip

Actually, several of them. And of course, being Elon Musk, it has to be in the form of tweets. Sidenote – He’s a brilliant guy – Telsa, SpaceX, Boring Machine, StarLink, and now Twitter. And with the latter, who knew he could be an insightful and amazing great comedian? He takes on all sorts of … Read more

The NHGOP Does NOT Want To Win

November 28, 2022 Ed Mosca

Here is a brilliant strategy … if you want to lose (AGAIN) in 2024. Continue to mock and insult Trump voters. Continue to pretend that the 2020 election was the safest, most secure, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, election in history, that Zuckerbucks didn’t matter, that the censorship of the Hunter laptop didn’t matter, etc. etc. etc.:

Culture and Politics: Healthy Man Identifies as a Disabled Woman

November 9, 2022 Steve MacDonald

At least a few people are shaking their heads after the absence of a show of electoral strength by Republicans. Inflation, the economy, and abortion were on the ballot, and it looks like abortion won (at least around here). You’ll be wondering why.

Yeah, Gregg Hough still hasn’t learned the shovel/hole admonition.

October 15, 2022 Skip

He just keeps angering a whole bunch of folks in the Republican arena lately – unforced errors. I put a short list together here: Gov. Sununu said he wanted him defeated The NH House Freedom Caucus believes he’s nuts for picking a fight with GraniteGrok The Democrat PAC Citizens for Belknap (even after doing their bidding) marked him for … Read more

Bad Votes by Politics Before People Rosemarie Rung (D, Merrimack)

September 23, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Merrimack Democrat Rosemarie Rung styles herself as a people before politics person, which is so absurd it is beyond laughable. If you don’t believe me, look at her voting record. It is a long trail of breadcrumbs that, when followed, leads to the truth.

An Act of Desperation? A Sign That They Know Something’s Coming That the Rest of Us Don’t?

July 25, 2022July 24, 2022 Skip

You don’t move from having the chutzpah of demanding that the entire Gunstock Area Commissioners resign en masse or demanding that the Belknap Delegation (made up of the NH State House Reps in Belknap County) remove them all to just two. Thanks to Stephen Hepburn, a Progressive transplant from Scotland, for bringing it to my … Read more

Dobbs Decision Means New Hampshire Will Get Bluer … And Why That’s A Good Thing

June 26, 2022 Ed Mosca

The leadership of the NHGOP wasted no time, after the Supreme Court’s Dodds decision was finally released, to assure us that New Hampshire will continue to allow abortion, for any reason, for the first 24 weeks:

An Open Letter to the IREHR (Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights)

May 29, 2022 Jim Kofalt

Dear Sirs, It has been brought to my attention that your organization recently published a study finding that 875 state legislators representing all 50 states are members of far-right groups on Facebook. This is shocking. Really, truly, shocking. I applaud your efforts to expose these kinds of harmful opinions, and I strongly encourage you to … Read more

May 14, 2022 Ray Cardello

When a Republican changes their mind on any subject, they are said to Flip Flop. Some feel that you should never reassess your position even if new data comes to light.
