BUMPED from 1/18/22 at the request of the author.
The Nashua taxpayers should think that our Board of Aldermen are looking out for the taxpayers’ however they are not. I had to send an email to remind them that it is their duty to look out for the Nashua taxpayers.
Editors note: Mary is comparing two different books. The Lawn Boy she uses is not the book in question.
Steve MacDonald, editorial partner at GraniteGrok, wrote an article about porn. At least, I think it was about porn. I don’t remember the article, but I remember the photo of two book covers that appeared with it. One was called Lawn Boy, and the other had the word “queer” in it.
Readers are encouraged to remember the fictional Forrest Gump character was a poor, simple, fatherless, southern boy from Alabama brought up by his single-parent mother. And whose book and movie life sparked reflection on America’s 1950,’60, and ‘70s political turmoil. He is back in that role, resurrected as an enlisted 2022 American soldier.
I hear the GOP has pulled money for Bolduc in NH.
I hear Schumer supported Bolduc for the sole reason to have him win the primary over Chuck Morse as he figured Don Bolduc could not beat Hassan.
Each Sunday, I take a step away from daily politics and focus on someone who has done extraordinary things or who we may need to know a little better. This week’s focus is on The Eck, a man who played baseball well, could bring the most boring game to life with his voice, and was a genuine man….he never changed in nearly fifty years.
I shouldn’t have to critique the story on the anti-hate vigil in Laconia (Laconia Daily Sun 10-4-22), but there are too many falsehoods. With apologies to Tom Lehrer: I just hate vigils like that. On one hand, people can gather all they want. Enjoy the fellowship. On the other hand, the thought that these sorts … Read more
My name is Vanessa Sheehan and I am running for re-election to the NH House from Milford in Hillsborough District 43. I am asking for your vote on November 8th!
Is it just me or are we starting to see the price of gas increasing again? Hope not but a couple of stations look like it. One thing is we can be happy we are not out in California where it’s at $6.00 or more but there is no reason it should be above $2.00 … Read more
In a delicious irony, the greenies that thought they were outsmarting and healing mother nature got laughed at last as Hurricane Ian tragically tore through swaths of Florida and crippled electric vehicles.
Ivan Ilyin’s “On Resistance to Evil by Force” (trans by K Benois) was first published in Berlin in 1925. The author makes many philosophical points, some of which depend on the divine origin of the New Testament, but I will cherry-pick for points that may help us figure out what to do about the evil in our midst right now.
Our country as we know it is in grave danger. Big Government Socialism has a strong foothold in the entire Federal bureaucracy, in many state agencies and big cities, as well as in the educational, entertainment, news and information, big tech, and an overwhelming number of other cultural institutions.
If you watch their campaign ads, you would think that the world is safe, the economy is sound, the Border is secure, and the education system is the best in the world. If you buy their message, then you must be living in a bubble.
And the NH State GOP is PAYING for it? Good going, dufuses, right off target again! Yep, sent right to my house:
Hurricane Ian is bringing extraordinary events to the open-air prison that is the island of Cuba, the people are rising up, and the tyrannical government is begging for help from Biden.
Joe Biden has always claimed that he was the best option for President because of his years of experience in the Senate. His claim, like most of his Presidency to date, was bogus. Biden continues to fall flat on the global stage, and his most recent failure is with Saudi Arabia.
Florida’s incumbent governor Ron DeSantis made a huge, albeit unsurprising, move in the latest polling among likely voters. A new Mason-Dixon poll conducted at the end of September shows the conservative leader pulling away from Republican-turned-Independent-turned-Democrat rival Charlie Crist.
The US Department of Education Office of Civil Rights is working hard to push through new regulations for Title IX. It is an appropriate time to reflect on the White House and New Hampshire’s partnership and role in the kangaroo courts of the last decade.
How many people stop to consider if there are any restrictions on what or how the federal government can tax? Does the Constitution for the United States allow the federal government to tax anything it wants, whenever it wants, and in any way that it wants?
Numerous Concord Monitor Op-Eds, letters, and articles have focused on abortion as perhaps the top 2022 Democrat campaign issue. The dynamic was underscored recently by mailers that went out to many of our Canterbury and Loudon constituents criticizing our votes on HB2 last term, which simply precluded third-trimester abortions.
No, the photos are not from Florida. They are Dover after the 2006 mother’s day 100-year flood. Here’s a preliminary look at the pending rain tax, aka stormwater utility fee. Don’t feel left out, Portsmouth and Rochester, your cities are poised to sign onto this deal, too.
