Cardello: They Aren’t All Hatin’ On Trump

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

CARDELLO: Abigail, You Proved the President Right

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

CARDELLO: A Tale of Two Very Different Winter Olympians

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

CARDELLO: Socialist Mayors Cannot Hide From the Truth

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

Marco Rubio

CARDELLO: Little Marco is All Grown Up

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

CARDELLO: When a Politician Says, “Let’s be Honest”…

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

CARDELLO: Does Nancy Guthrie Deserve 24/7 Coverage

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

CARDELLO: Are We All Born With a Moral Compass

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

CARDELLO: Should Ilhan Be Packing Her Carry-on

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

Maine Governor Janet Mills

CARDELLO: Good Job Janet, You Put Maine in the National Spotlight

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

CARDELLO: Can You Be a Democrat and a Catholic

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

Robert Kraft

CARDELLO: A Thank You When It Can Still be Heard

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

CARDELLO: Mamdani’s Grand Experiment Dead After 31 Days

Socialists and Communists from coast to coast were out of their minds at the thought of the greatest city on earth under Communist control. It had them salivating, but it all came crashing down like a January thaw. From a seedy start in a deserted underground subway station at the stroke of midnight on New … Read more

CARDELLO: Oh, What a Year it Has Been

I took some time a week or so ago and read every article that I had written documenting the last trip around the sun for Shay and me. I have no problem admitting that I cried as I read my own words, but some of what I read seemed surreal. We went through hell together … Read more

CARDELLO: The Hypocrisy on the Left is Mind Bogging 

The love, concern, and compassion for their fellow man, and especially the children of the country, that the Left is demonstrating in Minneapolis, Lewiston, Boston, and wherever protestors are gathering, is a beautiful and heartwarming moment. It is a moment that gives you hope for the future that the Left will regain its senses and … Read more

CARDELLO: Do Protesters Get Paid Vacations and Family Leave

Just how does it work with these zealots that appear to have a vested interest in the cause they attack, but really, are they just hoping that the minimum wage, and therefore protester rates, keep climbing? These folk are certainly drawing the short straw in this year’s Season of Love, as getting up early to … Read more
