November 10, 2019 Norm Silber

Isn’t it long past time that New Hampshire ended blatant discrimination against Catholics in our state?

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.

Clarence Thomas and the Lost Constitution

October 21, 2019October 21, 2019 Norm Silber

October 21, 2019 Norm Silber

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.
