Maine stole our land when we weren’t looking. The historical evidence is overwhelming and clear. For almost 300 years, the Granite State’s northern border ran down through the Piscataqua River, snaked across Maine’s Portsmouth Harbor shoreline, then bisected the Isles of Shoals. New Hampshire’s borders embraced the entire harbor, including Badger’s Island, Seavey’s Island, and … Read more

Natalie Sandoval – Daily Caller News Foundation “Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent,” Adam Smith wrote in his treatise on moral sentiments.

Past Trump rhetoric, called the UN’s central strategy of control – climate change, “a great con job.” His past policy moves against globalism could be summed up as: “Trusting the UN is like ‘trusting a fox in the chicken house.’” Restoring … Read more
The Proposed Ordinance is an unnecessary intrusion. Dear Councilors, fellow Merrimack residents, and interested members of the public. Since my last letter, I’ve had more time to reflect on the proposed chicken ordinance. I stand behind every word of my last letter, and I’ve made it public for the sake of discussion. Still, I now … Read more
We now have United States congressmen acting like bedeviled insurrectionists. They are actually implying that our military may not follow lawful federal orders issued by our Commander-in-Chief, because they suggest those orders could be illegal. It sure sounds like they are asking the intelligence community as well as the military to essentially overthrow Trump. Concurrently, … Read more
A Citizen’s Call to Reclaim the Bill of Rights and Local Control of Schools For thirty-two years, New Hampshire has lived under a judicial decree that most citizens have never heard of, yet it reaches into every wallet and every classroom in the state. In 1993 and 1997, in a pair of rulings known as … Read more
DOES ISLAM TEACH TERRORISM? Democrats and Republicans should be able to agree that people who believe in beating women, killing gays, and “Waging war upon the infidels who are your neighbors” (Koran 9:123) pose an extreme threat to our national security and cannot be assimilated into American society. The tenets of Islam are entirely and totally incompatible with the U.S. Constitution and Western … Read more
By Scott Vadnais November 25, 2025 For nearly a century, America’s military strength has come largely through self-reliance. We not only made the ships, airplanes and tanks, our country supplied the parts and materials for these complex systems. But a lot has changed in recent times. Unfortunately, our military has increasingly relied on … Read more
According to national media reports, Pennsylvania’s 2025 budget deal caused the state to “exit” RGGI. Media coverage also used the words “leave,” “quit” and “pull out” to describe Pennsylvania’s abandonment of RGGI. Pennsylvania, though, wasn’t actually a member of RGGI. In 2019, then-Gov. Tom Wolf issued an executive order for his administration to adopt regulations consistent with … Read more
Let’s talk about Senator Bernie Sanders, artificial intelligence, and—of course—blaming Donald Trump for America’s rising electricity rates. After spending his political career saying NO to large baseload power producers, Bernie Sanders now says there’s “not enough electricity to go around.” And—big surprise—he’s pointing the finger at the billionaires again. In a letter dated November 10, … Read more
The World, at least the USA and mainstream media, was aflutter last week when the Capitalist met the Communist (a self-described Democrat socialist). The expected fireworks never developed, and, instead, mutual respect was seen on TV, which stunned all the pseudo-intellectual commentators that plague our media. I could name the “NAMES” but that would be … Read more
Six elected Democrat legislators who are former military officers with privileged or intelligence backgrounds are eroding our American military chain-of-command culture and values by issuing scurrilous and mutinous comments. Inciting rebellion by urging US service men and women to refuse “illegal” orders, “illegal” orders which they never identified, is punishable in any country’s military, especially … Read more

The American Left has adopted the philosophy that “words are violence,” and as such, it must be responded to with not words – but physical violence. Understand what I’m saying. To the left, anyone saying something that offends, discredits or challenges their world view or established narrative, is in itself, an act of violence, therefore, … Read more
