August 8, 2020 Op-Ed

Many of us know New Hampshire is not a home-rule state. What that means is towns and cities can only pass laws that the State says they can.

Your First Responsibility is to Your Kids and Government Schools Are Not Your Only Option when it comes to educating them.

August 6, 2020 Op-Ed

I am writing this because I am concerned and dismayed by what I see and read about the state of our families. I’ve read several articles today about the status of the recent panic and “remote learning” and the ongoing back-to-school planning. Frankly, I am just plain irritated at what I see.

The Left Can’t Tolerate People with Opposing Political Views

August 6, 2020 Op-Ed

To The Jim Mayotte family of Sandbornton: I personally understand your grief. Have faith that this act does not represent the majority of us who live in and love our Lakes Region. Readers would not know of your loss or the previous destruction of your property (is this how Portland started?) and that of others if not for these letters.

CNN Erases Women

August 1, 2020 Beth Scaer

CNN referred to “individuals with a cervix” in a tweet about new guidelines for cervical cancer screenings, and nowhere in the CNN article linked to by the tweet does the author even once refer to women. CNN completely erases women from an article about women’s health.

August 4, 2020July 31, 2020 Doris Hohensee

“Don’t comply with COVID guidelines out of ignorance”

July 30, 2020July 30, 2020 Op-Ed

It’s summer time again. As expected, it is hot, but if it was -10° we would complain because it’s human nature to want something different than what we have at the present. We were brought up to question and resist compliance. We should challenge the status quo and authorities. Sure, in the end we may have to comply with rational and reasonable laws, but not out of ignorance. My wife has coined a phrase: We were the “Live Free or Die” state, but with COVID we quickly became the “Live to Comply” state.
