Some days in our history, Americans learn from generation to generation to treat with respect and reverence. Pearl Harbor Day, December 7, is a day that Franklin D. Roosevelt said will live in infamy. It is the day that Japanese pilots attacked America in Hawaii. It marked the start of WWII in the Pacific theater. … Read more
Dolly Parton was a national treasure, and her passing last month was a huge loss to her family, friends, and the music world, but it was a tremendous loss for America. It is nearly impossible to find someone universally loved by everyone, but that was Dolly Parton. By the numbers, Dolly had a 97% approval … Read more
Candidates no longer run for a particular office, whether local, state, or federal. Today’s politician is running for attention. They may be running for governor, but their eyes are already on a Senate seat, or even the Oval Office. This is partly a product of a political system that has dwarfed the government in importance, … Read more
New England is a small but very diverse region of the country. From the sparsely populated, generally conservative Aroostook County in Northern Maine to the rather liberal, densely populated Hartford, CT, you can find every type of U.S. Voter imaginable. But the one thing that New England doesn’t offer is representation for Republicans. Democrats have … Read more
I have never heard the plethora of negative political ads as I have for the 2026 Midterms, and they get more acerbic and time-consuming as we get closer to Election Day. If you took the time to listen to these spots, you would not vote for anyone. One ad in particular caught my attention: Maine … Read more
We can all agree on one fact, regardless of political leaning: Washington is broken. Nearly every facet of our government is maximizing its ineptitude, inefficiency, or simply not working at all. Amazingly, we are in as good a place as we are, which tells me the country is on autopilot and doesn’t really need the … Read more
It does not matter the topic or the issue; as far as the JV talking heads on MSNOW are concerned, Donald Trump and his supporters are guilty. It goes beyond the absolute hatred of Donald Trump; it is obvious that these people are rooting against America in every story they discuss. Trump addressed the UN … Read more
Six weeks. Forty-two Days. A blink of the eye until America decides its future course. That is not sensationalism or hyperbole. Never before has America been faced with a choice to continue as a Constitutional Republic or throw in the white flag and wander down the path to Socialism. We have had radical candidates before, … Read more
The country is ready for a female President, as long as she is qualified and ready to accept the responsibility of serving America, and not promoting a cause. Hillary and Kamala were neither. Hillary has always thought that she was entitled and destined to be behind the desk that her husband made fashion history with … Read more
Do they ever stop to hear themselves? Do they realize how foolish they are? Do they ever wish they could be productive and not just noisemakers? The Left is at it once again with their latest saga of “We only have 12 years to live.” Thank goodness that they no longer see a need to … Read more
I can speak from personal experience on this topic because I have been there and done that. I served on a Massachusetts Superior Court jury for a month and was selected for four separate trials. The cases were very different, but the jury room experience was all too similar. The room was filled with people … Read more
Politics should not be an emotional arena. There should be opposing policies and views, debate, compromise, and results – hopefully in the best interest of the people. The two things that can stir emotion, even anger, are insincerity and outright lying. Both of these are associated with Congresswoman Sandy Cortez far too frequently, and it … Read more
I remember driving around with my Dad, and the AM radio was tuned to 850 WHDH. Dad loved that station because it featured a lot of Jazz programming. I recall most news reports ended with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), and back in the day, that’s the 1960s, to be more specific-it hovered around … Read more
It won’t come via email or a robocall, and you will not see much about it in mainstream news, but there is a clear message coming from places like England and Germany for anyone in America who thinks the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is the panacea for the future. The message is very clear, … Read more
I watched and listened intently to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s Facebook reel where he talks about his thoughts on the tragedy of 9/11. Mamdani is a lousy mayor, but a great actor. You can almost hear sincerity in his tone and words, but knowing what he has said in the past and what … Read more
It was a dark night on April 18, 1775, and the path was lonely and dangerous as Paul Revere mounted his horse in the little town of Lexington outside Boston. He rode through the woods and small hamlets on small roads lit only by the moon to let the good people of Massachusetts, including the … Read more
I moved to New Hampshire from Massachusetts 45 years ago because the Granite State was a solid red state then and more aligned with my conservative beliefs. The state has evolved, like so many red states have, to purple and even blue as people move in for a better quality of life. Many of these … Read more
Trump has his new haircut, new blue suit, a couple of dozen red ties, and a fueled-up Air Force One. He is ready for the most important month of the last ten years. President Donald Trump will embark on a 30-day cross- country rally-a-day schedule with the sole purpose of pushing enough Republican Congressional candidates … Read more
Karyann Parkinson is not someone you will hear about on the nightly news, and certainly does not appear on any ICE wanted posters. According to one of her narco-neighbors, Karyann Parkinson is one dangerous woman who may not deserve to keep her children. Virginia is technically not a sanctuary state, so there are certain places … Read more
The midterms this cycle are as confusing as the new world order is in general. Historically, the midterms have never been good for the sitting President. In the last 50 years, the President has maintained Congress’s support only once, for the first four years in office. Carter is the only President in this 50-year window … Read more
