Gilford School Board – October meeting. Leftist arguments on full display

November 23, 2019 Skip

I’m late in putting these videos up of the Gilford School Board’s October meeting where Policy JBAB, the 2008 NH School Board Association’s transgender policy was to be “read” and it was clear that the battle lines had already been drawn up and I think THE operational statement comes down to this: “You will be … Read more

Gilford School Board – October meeting: Powers and Rights (Part 2)

November 23, 2019November 23, 2019 Skip

“Mr. Murphy, please submit that question in writing to us…..I have already; twice! No answers” Well, this coverage of the Transgender issue that the Gilford School Board has jumped the gun on may take a while but I think it is important not only on students and staff affected by this but IS THE SCHOOL … Read more

The War to Destroy Christianity in America

November 21, 2019November 21, 2019 Norm Silber

In the aftermath of the Holocaust, many well-intentioned people around the world wondered how it could have happened. And the question for our time is could something like it ever happen again?

Focus on Accomplishments, not Tweets!

November 20, 2019 Norm Silber

Today, Wednesday, November 20, President Trump further cemented his reform of the federal judiciary when the US Senate confirmed yet another of the President’s picks to a federal circuit court seat Wednesday in a vote that tilts the balance of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to a GOP-appointed majority. The 11th Circuit is now … Read more

Tales from the BudComm – Should Gilford’s new Recycle Center be named “Monument to Economic Illiteracy”? Or…

November 20, 2019 Skip

“A place where Ideology reigns over money”? Or, “Scott Dunn’s Taj Mahal” (Scott Dunn being the Town Administrator and the main pusher for Gilford’s new Recycle Center / Transfer Station. Sigh…and now the bill has has come due. But not the one you might think. In the beginning, it sounded OK – time to leave … Read more

The Culture & Religion of Peace Teaches Children to Shoot Jews

November 19, 2019November 19, 2019 Norm Silber

Official Palestinian Authority TV has run a blatantly anti-Semitic series that ignores factual history and features an adult man teaching a child how to shoot “the Jews,” and characterizes the Jewish people as “cowards,” rapists, “impure schemers,” and “the enemy.”

Dreaming the Impossible Dream- “Ideological Purity” in Politics

November 15, 2019 Norm Silber

The concept of “ideological purity” simply means staying 100% true to your ideals and values when you vote. In choosing a candidate for whom to vote for any office or position, isn’t it reasonable to expect that the candidate, if elected, will proceed to deliver votes on critical issues that match the candidate’s campaign rhetoric, … Read more

The Culture Wars Are Here in NH & the Union Leader Buys In!

November 14, 2019 Norm Silber

The Culture Wars Are Here in NH! And the Union Leader Buys In. A recent post by this writer called attention to the ridiculous and insulting reports that the left-wing Democrat Governor of Wisconsin was planning to refer to the state’s Christmas Tree its “Holiday Tree.” So, we now see in today’s Union Leader (Nov. … Read more

Let me see if I have this right

November 13, 2019November 13, 2019 Op-Ed

This coin was our first minted coin during colonial times; 1787 to be exact. Do you see what it says? MIND YOUR BUSINESS. The flip side says WE ARE ONE. I wonder how many people actually believe that these days.

Rage Against the Culture Wars

November 12, 2019November 12, 2019 Norm Silber

In case you haven’t noticed, we are living in an age in which the Political Correctness police wage an almost constant battle against traditional American values, culture and traditions.

Darned if We Do, Darned if We Don’t

November 11, 2019November 10, 2019 Steve Earle

I think it was Tip O’Neal who coined the phrase: “All politics is local.” That’s as true today as when O’Neal uttered it. Right here in Gilford, our school board is struggling with a problem best described as a catch 22. I’m speaking of the transgender phenomena.

The Blaine Stain in New Hampshire

November 10, 2019 Norm Silber

Isn’t it long past time that New Hampshire ended blatant discrimination against Catholics in our state? After the great Irish potato famine in the mid-1800’s, America experienced a large wave of Irish immigrants, many of whom were Catholics. Some politicians wanted to prevent any public support of Catholic institutions and thus attempted, unsuccessfully, to amend … Read more

We must defend our values and principles

Don’t “Insult” or Question Islam or its Prophet under penalty of arrest (or worse)!!!

November 7, 2019 Norm Silber

The legal system in the US (other than in Louisiana) was originally derived from the legal system that prevailed in England for centuries, including the personal freedoms extracted from the King by the Maga Carta. Even with that long history of personal liberties, the colonists ultimately rebelled against the English Crown’s abuses as enunciated principally … Read more

RINOs: The Dilution & Breakdown of the Republican Brand in NH

October 31, 2019October 31, 2019 Norm Silber

Dilution is the action of making something weaker in force, content, or value. Have you watched a brand you love just mean less and less? The brand might have gone in a direction you just couldn’t follow, or the quality of their product just kept slipping until their reputation was gone. You are not alone. … Read more

Where did the Traditional Democrats go?

October 27, 2019October 27, 2019 Steve Earle

I find it rather entertaining at times watching the gyrations of radical Democrats trying to find some excuse to impeach President Trump with no evidence of any crime, high or otherwise. But in all honesty, I can not relate any of the leftist leaders to Democrats as I recall them from as recently as twenty years ago.

Clarence Thomas and the Lost Constitution

October 21, 2019October 21, 2019 Norm Silber

Clarence Thomas is our era’s most consequential jurist, as radical as he is brave. During his almost three decades on the bench, he has been laying out a blueprint for remaking Supreme Court jurisprudence. His template is the Constitution as the Framers wrote it during that hot summer in Philadelphia 232 years ago, when they … Read more

Actors as Moral & Political Arbiters?

October 21, 2019 Norm Silber

An actor is a person who portrays a character in a performance. The actor’s interpretation of their role—the art of acting—pertains to the role played, whether based on a real person or fictional character. In other words, a “good actor” is a person who is good at pretending to be, and holding themselves out as, … Read more

Will Laconia, New Hampshire Become A Sanctuary City?

October 18, 2019 Norm Silber

One of the two candidates running for Mayor of the City of Laconia in an election in only a few weeks reportedly waffled when asked whether he supported illegal aliens in Laconia. But waffling on the issue means a lack of courage to articulate clearly one’s beliefs for prospective voters. If you are not clearly … Read more

Radical Islamic Anti-Semitism Already in America!!

October 18, 2019 Norm Silber

If you ever thought that radical Islam would not be coming to America, think again. The public library in Highland Park, New Jersey, a recipient of federal tax funding, has scheduled a book reading of P Is for Palestine, an alphabet book written for young children by Golbarg Bashi, a professor of Middle East Studies. … Read more
