News – Politics – Opinion – Podcasts
Steve MacDonald I had never heard of John Fetterman before he’d had a stroke. I can’t speak to his pre-stroke politics and am not inclined to hunt them down. Someone in the Democrat party thought him a suitable meat puppet to prevent the Republicans from seizing a US Senate Seat in Pennsylvania. The same party that picked … Read more
In every procedural/cop show Hollywood produces, there are two tropes the writers can’t leave out. It’s as if they are required and will lose their guild membership if they do. Lawyering up is bad (sold as a sign of guilt), as is requiring a warrant before any search. I could go downtown and get a … Read more
We’re sharing new podcasts seven days a week, with a few exceptions, such as the occasional replay or other special events. I alos share short clips from some of our programs, and sometimes the odd random thing off the internet. These are posted on my Instagram or the Grok socials (see below), and not necessarily … Read more
A New Hampshire local, bothered by the polling they saw from the mainstream media, set about taking a litmus test. They wanted to see if they could duplicate those results or if sentiment differed from what was sold to the public. Here are the graphed results This survey was sent to 95 people of different … Read more
The headline that coerced me into clicking on a link to an article at New Hampshire Public Radio (NHPR) is ‘The Independence of Public Radio Cannot Be Compromised.” My first thought was, what’s independent about NPR and NHPR? “CPB is not a federal executive agency subject to the President’s authority. Congress directly authorized and funded … Read more
It is no secret that New Hampshire and Granite Staters are on a big climate cult meat hook, not entirely of our own making. Yes, we still have lingering mandates like carbon credit schemes (neutered but not gone) alongside renewable portfolio mandates. These should have been flushed down the toilet years ago, but bitter climate … Read more
The political Left’s obsession with managing the death of others ought to be a disqualification for anything short of a straitjacket. Luckily for them, entire industries exist to launder money into their campaigns to keep them out of prison and in public office. Perches from which they interrupt with enthusiasm the right to life, liberty, … Read more
Last night I was the keynote speaker at the Sullivan County Lincoln-Reagan Dinner. Michelle and I had a great time. Everyone was wonderful, and it was good to finally meet some people I’d only ever known online. After my remarks, someone asked me if I would post the speech so they could have a copy. … Read more
I recently reported on news that China was quickly swirling down the economic drain as Trump’s big, beautiful tariffs did the work they were meant to do. War by other means, as already, “high unemployment and rising costs force [China] to address the threat of millions of Chinese milling about in misery with nothing to … Read more
If you missed it, big ole’ JB Pritzker was the keynote speaker at a pricey fundraiser the local Proglodytes threw themselves. I’m sure they raised some dough and, with Act Blue headed to federal and state courts over its disregard for campaign finance law, they may need it. The big Guy (Pritzker, not Biden) made … Read more
According to V.I. Lenin, the Supreme Soviet leader, “…socialism is impossible without democracy,” averred Lenin in his Collected Works (Vol. 23), “because: (1) the proletariat cannot perform the socialist revolution unless it prepares for it by the struggle for democracy; (2) victorious socialism cannot consolidate its victory and bring humanity to the withering away of … Read more
Several things have become evident a few weeks into Donald Trump’s big beautiful tariff strategy. The most beautiful tariffs – like nobody’s ever seen. The world needs the United States as a trading partner more than we need them. If pressure is applied, America can get concessions on a long list of issues to our … Read more
Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Biased Media Donald Trump has issued an executive order declaring that the government isn’t supposed to be subsidizing any media, especially the blatantly partisan garbage (my words) that comes from NPR and PBS. Unlike in 1967, when the CPB was established, today the media landscape is filled with abundant, diverse, and … Read more
Conversion therapy is a monster under the Left’s cultural bed that tries to convince children of what sex or gender they are. In New Hampshire, the progs pushed through a ban a while back that made it illegal for any adult in a presumed position of authority (teachers, priests, coaches, and of course therpaists) from … Read more
Democrats keep finding the energy to get mad about everything, everywhere, all the time. They’re good at it, so this is like ‘Leg Day’ every day. The latest outrage is the neutering of AmeriCorps in its current form. Several states have sued, including Vermont, but one of my earliest “political” exposures to AmeriCorps was when … Read more
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is rumored to be building a ramp for a run at the Big Chair in 2028. I know. He’ll need a big ramp, but Billionaires don’t come to New Hampshire unless they have property here or they are chasing something. First in the nation primary, anyone. He was here, talking shit … Read more
Democrats are pissed. I know, what’s new? Mad is what they do. And you’ll have heard the tall tale about the evil Trump administration deporting children. CHILDREN, Damn You!. How could they? Well, as a starting point, Democrats don’t actually give a damn about children. When Obama put them in cages, they blamed Trump. When … Read more
The Proglodytes are forever whining about someone paying their fair share or taxing the rich, even though Democrats have more oligarchs (rich folks) registered on their team. It’s a bait and switch. Democrats want to tax the crap out of everyone with a tax code full of loop holes only the rich can afford to … Read more
US Secretary of Labor, Lori Chavez-DeRemer, has drawn a red line for Governors in all fifty states. Illegal Aliens are not eligible for unemployment benefits. Chavez-DeRemer reminded the governors that employment authorization was a prerequisite to securing employment. “Unemployment benefits are not a handout for those in our country illegally,” Chavez-DeRemer said. Compliance with the directive, … Read more
Billionaire (oligarch?) JB Pritzker was in New Hampshire to rile up the already easily triggered #NHDEMS-13. Pritzker, who needs only to wear a top hat to resemble the cartoonish fat cats of yesteryear, told those assembled that they need to continue being the sorts of troublemakers they’ve always been. Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker called … Read more
