There is far too much happening in D.C. right now, and the last thing the country needs is for Congress to abandon the country’s needs to play power games. We want to think that people who choose to run for and serve in office would be patriots who, above party, have a true love for … Read more
Governor Mills is not done with politics, as she wants to be a senator now that she is being termed out of Augusta. In trying to convince Maine voters that she is their beacon in the state house now and wants to be their watchdog in Washington, she has turned a blind eye to three … Read more
Hakeem Sekou Jeffries has been the U.S. Representative for New York’s 8th congressional district since 2013. For some reason, he is the man-in-waiting for the Democratic Party and has been waiting to take the gavel away from the Republicans. Since the reign of Nancy Pelosi, Jeffries has been the heir apparent to the Party leadership … Read more
One thing is guaranteed when you are monitoring the thoughts and actions of the Left. Just when you think that they cannot say anything more stupid, illogical, or irrational, they dig down deeper into their personal rabbit hole and go lower. Gavin Newsom is already running for President, and why shouldn’t he? He has already … Read more
Government shutdowns, even partial ones, are inexcusable, disruptive to the American way of life, and potentially dangerous to national security if certain departments are defunded during the downtime. Shutdowns are the direct result of Congress, either the House or Senate, or both, not doing their jobs and negotiating a budget before the deadline, when the … Read more
We are a society of strong words, fair intentions, and little conviction for living up to either. After Hitler exterminated 6 million Jews, the world vowed it would never sit idly by and let another massacre happen; not on our watch. Then we watched Pol Pot kill 3 million Cambodians. China is incarcerating as many … Read more
What is happening today between the Left and Right has become so diametrically opposed that it reminds me of the Seinfeld episode, Bizarro World. In that famous, and very funny, episode, Jerry and his gang cross paths with a very similar cast of characters who are the exact opposites of our main characters. Jerry, Elaine, … Read more
There was a rare moment at this year’s State of the Union speech that is getting very little attention, and it should, because it may actually be a sign of a much bigger movement. Trump was going through his list of accomplishments and scattered in the introduction of Americans seated in the gallery to help … Read more
Abigail Spanberger, the newly elected Governor of Virginia, was the Democrats’ choice to deliver the rebuttal to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union speech. Her short speech that attacked the President and labeled him a liar was as disingenuous as her campaign for Governor. She campaigned as a moderate and became a progressive the … Read more
I do not get excited about the Olympics. The spectacle was diminished for me when it became an event for professional athletes, and many are prima Donna professionals at that. There was something magical about amateur athletes who sacrificed so much to have a shot at hearing their national anthem and maybe their picture on … Read more
The walls are crashing down, or maybe more accurately, the Piper wants to get paid, and two of the Socialist poster children, who hoodwinked their constituents, are caught in the spotlight, and neither is looking very good. Brandon Johnson and Zohran Mamdani were supposed to be the answer to the problems created by their predecessors, … Read more
I have been a fan and supporter of Marco Rubio since he entered the 2016 presidential race. I remember walking with Sharon through the streets of Concord, New Hampshire, on a very cold February night to hear the young candidate address his supporters after a disappointing showing in the NH primary. He was strong, took … Read more
When a politician says, “Let’s be honest,” you’d better get the fact-checker fired up. When it is Maine’s Secretary of State uttering those words, you can rest assured that what is to follow is a bevy of lies. Shenna Bellows is the first woman to hold that position in Maine and has held it since … Read more
If you watch the likes of Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) or Maggie Hassan (D-NH) deliver their staff-written orations in committee rooms or on the Senate floor, you would realize that they have zero grasp of history, nor any sense of self-blame and accountability. As far as these two go, and you can lump the other Democratic … Read more
Today’s article may not be a very popular position with some, and to others, I may come across as heartless, but enough already with the 24/7 news coverage of the missing Nancy Guthrie. Nancy disappeared from her Arizona home nearly two weeks ago, and after all of this coverage, we still know little of the … Read more
Are we all born with that feeling in the pit of our stomach that something is wrong when we see it, or are we born with a blank filter that gets filled as we experience life, coaches, and mentors? Aren’t we all sickened when we see someone mistreat a dog, or did our parents have … Read more
If Ilhan Omar plays her cards right, she can skip the carry-on and go with the traditional suitcase full of American currency. You can forgo the designer bag when you can pack the old black suitcase full of hundred-dollar bills. Seriously, it appears that the tide may be turning on Ilhan and one of her … Read more
Rather than embracing a beautiful, rural state rich in incredible natural resources and deep-rooted traditional New England values, and building on that foundation, Janet Mills has tried to emulate California and, now, Minnesota. Janet Mills is all about power and corruption. As she tries to play with the big boys, she has neglected to accept … Read more
There was considerable discussion over the last few years about the conflict between Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, and the Catholic Church. These debates involved abortion and whether you could be Pro-Choice and remain in good graces with the church, and still be eligible to receive the sacraments. I am of the belief that it was … Read more
We always seem to wait until someone has passed before we take the time to spread accolades, tell stories of their greatness, talk about their impact, or simply to say thank you for a job well done and a lifetime spent doing good. We are blessed to have a true New England treasure in our … Read more
