CARDELLO: Did Accountability Die a Slow Painful Death in America

May 16, 2026 Ray Cardello

I remember the spring and summer of 1973 vividly. I was on our yearly family vacation to Florida when I got sunstroke on the first day, and I was confined to bed for the two-week trip to Panama City. I also remember spending each day glued to the TV watching the Watergate Hearings. It has … Read more

This Has Become All Too Common in Government

It’s all about Accountability, and that has become a tool that only turns one way. We are to be held accountable by the Government in so many ways, but they are not. How do I know this?

A Conversation I Think That The Education Establishment Will Abhor

July 16, 2023July 16, 2023 Skip

Most folks know what the NHSBA stands for – The NH School Board Association. Frankly, it is the epitome of the Education Establishment. They know best. They will do what they want, and while they’d like “involved parents,” They don’t brook too much dissent.

HB1169 Reintroduced – “Relative to Public Comment and Inquiry During School Board Meetings”

November 16, 2022 Skip

Last year, NH State Rep Judy Aron and I tried to address what I think is a serious issue for a type of Elected Representatives that seemingly don’t believe that is what they are even as they run for election. In short, they call themselves “School Board members”. And many school boards have a policy … Read more

March 4, 2022 Skip

Back in January, I wrote, “The Manchester School District Is Slowly Taking Away Your Rights as a Parent!” That has turned into a lawsuit. Mom is holding the District accountable for lying to her (*by deliberate omission).

For the First Time in Years, I Simply Walked past the Salvation Army Kettle …

November 27, 2021 Skip

Unlike Progressive-Socialists who believe that “charity” can only be carried out by Government and not by private entities (see Bernie Sanders, below), Conservatives believe that each ONE of us is PERSONALLY responsible for helping others out – not as a Collective.

Hb1169 – So Elected Representative Masquerading as School Board Members Want to Continue to “Silence” Their Constituents?

November 19, 2021November 18, 2021 Skip

According to the National School Board Association, I’m a self-acknowledged Domestic Terrorist. Eighty percent of the Gilford School Board agreed with them (after all, the Left has taught us that Silence is Complicity, right?) when I asked if they thought I was one.

August 3, 2021 Skip

So, I’m suing. And this is entirely on the Gilford School Board simply because they were too arrogant to answer simple questions. Most School Boards are.

What the Proposed Trump 2021 Budget Cuts

Notable Quote – Why NOT hold politicians personally accountable for their decisions about the rest of us?

March 29, 2021March 29, 2021 Skip

Prof. Don Boudreaux brings up an EXCELLENT idea / point about the miserable outcomes that may well come from really bad policies – can we hold Bernie (the socialist with three houses and millions made from his best selling books?) personally accountable? Reformatted, emphasis mine: Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) wants to punitively tax certain firms … Read more

Remember when President Trump said there may have been some promise in a cheap drug with a long use history?

20 Million Doses of Covid Vaccine: Lost & Found

January 31, 2021January 31, 2021 Steve MacDonald

Politico is reporting the Biden administration is struggling mightily to deliver on its promise. It campaigned on its boasts about its ability to get a handle on the COVID-19 pandemic. Now it appears they may have lost track of as many as 20 million vaccine doses.

Sucktion 230 … Accountability for Thee But Not for Me

January 7, 2021January 7, 2021

Sucktion 230 is all about accountability for thee but not for me. It is free speech battle… sorta. It’s not a battle for Leftist speech. It’s only a battle for conservative speech. There is actually no movement afoot to restrict the speech of Leftists. But, the President’s tweets almost always receive a flag or fact-check. … Read more

Facebook Doodlings: Republican Republicans For The Sake Of The Republican Party (RRftsofRP) – Examples

November 29, 2020November 28, 2020 Skip

RRftsofRP members believe in one thing – the Republican Party. That’s fine as far as it goes but that’s ALL they care about. They don’t care about policy, they don’t care about the Platform, and in this case, they don’t care about the NH Constitution (and generally, the US one as well).

Biden Lies Without Accountability … The Media Knows

October 24, 2020

Joe Biden lies without accountability. We saw more example of this morally and ethically bankrupt behavior last night. Did you watch the debate last night? We will not hold it against you if you didn’t. There were some pretty glaring points made. The media these days has stopped reporting. They have shifted focus to censorship. … Read more

It’s Time for Conservatives to Start Vocally Condemning Abuses of Foreign Policy

September 27, 2020

Most conservatives subscribe to a few basic principles. These are: First, the need for fiscal restraint. Second, strict adherence to the U.S. Constitution. And third, limited government. These three principles, not necessarily in that order, define the conservative movement.

Is it Fair to Hold Joe Accountable to His Past Actions?

September 10, 2020September 10, 2020

Joe Biden has been “part of the problem” for nearly half a century. Why is it reasonable to expect him to fix as president what he presided over putting in place as a senator? Shouldn’t we ask better questions of Uncle Joe?
