September 11, 2001, Freedom, Terrorism and Kamala Harris

August 1, 2025October 5, 2024 Fr Gordon J. MacRae

The world was a dangerous place on September 11, 2001, and is now even more so. Freedom is shaken by terrorism, and terrorism neither fears nor respects complacent joy. Eleanor Hodgman Porter was born in Littleton, New Hampshire, in 1868. She wrote several novels with little notice, but at the start of World War One, … Read more

Kamala’s Campaign Crossed The Line, And Now She’s Paying The Price

September 4, 2024 Mary Rooke

Some issues are more important than politics: family, faith and honor. This is a lesson that Vice President Kamala Harris and her campaign staff have apparently never learned. The Harris campaign used the deaths of service members as a political attack, and it backfired. The incompetence of the Biden-Harris Administration is seen in everyday life for Americans, … Read more

Some will find the following clip beneath contempt, but most of those people are impossible to please when it comes to whatever comes out of this man’s mouth.

Biden’s Dystopian America

August 15, 2023 Op-Ed

A lightbulb (the kind banned by Mr. Bluster Biden) went off in my mind, and the purpose of Bluster Biden’s Dystopian America became perfectly clear. Let’s put the pieces of the puzzle together:

A Look at Afghanistan Two Years After Biden Ran Away …

April 28, 2023 Op-Ed

About two years ago, this administration used their best judgment. America withdrew from Afghanistan. The withdrawal left behind material, money, and personnel. However you view the decision, this administration is responsible for the results. What are those results?

Those Who Value Country More Than Self

April 20, 2023 Op-Ed

On April 28, 2006, to remember the sacrifice of those Airmen and Marines who gave their lives at Desert One, the painful effort to rescue the 52 American hostages in Iran, more than 100 Airmen, dressed in flight suits, battle dress uniforms, and chemical warfare suits gathered at the Hurlburt Field, FL, the HQ of the 8th Special Operations Command, for a formal ceremony of honor.

Taliban Joe’s ‘Legacy’ Grows – Women in Afghanistan Banned from University, Secondary Education, Gov. Jobs …

December 24, 2022 Steve MacDonald

The religious fascists in the Taliban have taken a break from shining all the weapons Joe left in Afghanistan to do what we said they’d do. Be the Taliban.

Chips Starting to Fall

February 17, 2022February 17, 2022 Steve Earle

Sure looks like the Left is running with some rough sledding in spite of our frozen snow cover. It’s not enough that Ol’ Slow Joe has messed up everything from his Afghanistan pull out, to the Border, to the economy, to energy independence, and to foreign affairs.

We Learned Nothing From the Afghanistan Debacle?

February 15, 2022 Op-Ed

The American exit from Afghanistan will be the poster story of the Joe Biden Presidency. After one year, the Biden administration has put a lock on the worst Presidency in our history.

Go Joe!

February 12, 2022February 11, 2022 Steve Earle

See where Ol’ slow Joe decided he was right and the Army has it all wrong. The withdrawal from Afghanistan was not botched as the U.S. Army report stated, or so said Biden on an interview the other day.

The Taliban Get “The Band” Back Together … Bring Out Your Dead, Edition

December 23, 2022September 27, 2021 Steve MacDonald

The New Taliban are looking more and more like the old Taliban. Sure, there was some speculation about a more modern version of their nineties counterparts, but neither the Quran nor Sharia has changed in their minds, so the outcome was always predictable.

J Bartlett Says – We Should Accept Afghan Refugees (And?) We have a Housing Shortage

September 22, 2021 Steve MacDonald

We’re huge fans of The Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy but sometimes – even from intelligent people saying sensible things – something happens to make it look like you are making no sense. Take this, for example.

King Biden’s Shell Game

September 21, 2021 Steve Earle

The heavy hand has fallen on Florida because Gov. DeSantis will not fall on his knees to a senile, god-king wannabe (Dementia Joe). A government-approved medication, monoclonal antibodies, that by all reports say work on COVID-19 (for those who can get it) are now being rationed in FL, where the need is very high.

Integrity

Several years ago, during a Presidential Primary, I, along with two other men both younger than myself, were in Dover, New Hampshire, with a reporter doing an interview over lunch. The reporter asked me, “what is it that you are looking for in a candidate?”

Taliban Replaces the Women’s Affairs Ministry with the Ministry of Vice and Virtue.

September 16, 2021 Steve MacDonald

The Taliban are getting their ducks in a row, so to speak. Setting things right with Islamic law. That’s how they plan to address the question of educating girls and women. In line with Islamic law, and since everyone is Muslim, they will understand.

Sleepy Joe’s Surrender to the Axis of Evil Puts World in Jeopardy

September 8, 2021 Op-Ed

Recently, I have noticed a lack of discussion about the greatest threat that many experts see to Western Civilization: the transparent collusion among George Soros, the Communist Chinese Criminal Conspiracy (CCCC), Big Tech, the Deep State, and the numb and dumb Mainstream Media.

Town Reprimands Resident For Placing 13 Flags In Front of The Local Veterans Memorial

September 6, 2021September 6, 2021 Op-Ed

We live in troubled times! I placed 13 American Flags in front of our Veterans Memorial in our town. It was to honor those who lost their lives for us in Afghanistan. It was not a political statement but one of respect for our troops.
