Virtue Compelling Devices

November 26, 2022 Ian Underwood

President* Biden has declared that he is ‘going to try to get rid of assault weapons.’ Of course, there isn’t really any such thing as an ‘assault weapon.’ There are assault rifles and semi-automatic weapons, but the term assault weapon doesn’t really mean anything other than a weapon that certain people find frightening for reasons they … Read more

Let Us Go Back in Time to the First Thanksgiving

November 19, 2022 Op-Ed

This Thanksgiving in 21st-century America, a dangerous mindset has permeated our beliefs for over a century. True history has been denied, so we do not benefit from its lessons. Perhaps we can label it the “accidental theory of history.”

Culture and Politics: Healthy Man Identifies as a Disabled Woman

November 9, 2022 Steve MacDonald

At least a few people are shaking their heads after the absence of a show of electoral strength by Republicans. Inflation, the economy, and abortion were on the ballot, and it looks like abortion won (at least around here). You’ll be wondering why.

October 16, 2022October 15, 2022 Steve MacDonald

It’s never a slow news day, and I confess I had planned to drop a climate post in this spot, but then I tried over some stupid on my way there, and it demanded that I write about it. Velma from Scooby Doo, the brainy girl with glasses, is officially a lesbian.

For Democrats “Abortion” is about Protecting the Right to Kill Newborns

October 15, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Depending on the channel or service, if you watch “television,” you get five minutes of ads about abortion for every 8-10 minutes of programming. It’s aggravating with little pushback, so I’ll share at least two things about this single-issue, media carpet-bombing I think you need to know.

The Scandal of Owen Labrie and the #MeToo Movement

October 6, 2022October 6, 2022 Op-Ed

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.

M&M Mars Introduces Inclusive Purple ‘Character’ And I have Questions …

January 9, 2023October 2, 2022 Steve MacDonald

In January, M&M Mars announced that it was changing things up in the name of inclusivity. It would make the iconic candies different shapes and give them personality disorders – which might reflect reality in the front office of the MARS Wrigley global conglomerate.

MONDAY MEMES

August 10, 2025September 12, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Another week and more Monday memes than you can shake an F-15 at (or should I say, at which you can shake an F-15). Sometimes we pretend to care about the grammar.

If Abortion is a Right Then There are No Such Things as ‘Fathers’

September 10, 2022September 9, 2022 Steve MacDonald

I was listening to the chugging sound of my Keurig this morning, and I had a thought I’d had before, maybe even shared. When did I realize that life has to begin at conception? I’m not clear on a day or a date. It didn’t just hit me.

You’re Not Ready to Hear What I Have to Say …

December 17, 2025August 20, 2022 Mike Belcher

You’re not ready to hear what I have to say. You’re not ready, we now live under a Communist regime– and I need you to get ready yesterday. The America that you grew up in is gone. The Republic is lost – there is no keeping it. There is only restoring it. Don’t believe me? … Read more

Woke Warriors is a Conundrum

July 24, 2022 Ray Cardello

A strong military is one of the few purposes of a central federal government. To protect the people from foreign or domestic threats is the charge given to the various branches of our defense. There has never been the purpose of the brave men and women of our armed forces to promote social justice.

Suicide Six Culturally Appropriates Abenaki Word for New Resort Name

July 15, 2022July 15, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Just so we’re as clear as Vodka, we are playing by House rules where “The House” is the culture that drove Suicide Six Ski Resort to change its “insensitive” name in the name of mental health. The New Name is Saskadena to honor “descendants” of the land’s “original” inhabitants.

Sunday Spotlight: The Fine Folks on the Pond

July 10, 2022 Ray Cardello

Many of us have become very cynical and protective over the last couple of decades. I remember when I was young, our neighborhood went far beyond the street we lived on, and we knew all our neighbors by name. Life seemed much simpler back then, and there was an implicit trust of everyone in your … Read more

Teacher’s Union Goes To War with America

July 8, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Back in 2012, we poked fun at the American Federation of Teachers. They’d sent out a pre-election survey to candidates. Twenty-Five questions, and not one of them was about children or education. Power and money. That was their agenda. And here comes the NEA a decade later.

#Woke Employee “In Mourning” Over Dobbs Decision Fired For Refusing To Work

July 6, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Being in Human Resources can’t be getting easier given the way the Left has waterboarded the culture. Finding good help was never easy. Keeping them a challenge. But now they demand days off after US Supreme Court decisions to mourn?

Labeling the West as an Oppressive Patriarchy is Fundamentally Flawed

June 24, 2022 Steve MacDonald

The new left, same as the old left, has a goal. The revolution. Burn everything down and from these ashes will arise something better. At least that’s what it says in the Marxist’s tri-fold marketing literature which is spoon-fed to younger generations.

To Save Our Students, Let’s Debate Everything That Contributes to School Shootings.

June 9, 2022 Peter Lemiska

Since America’s inception, guns have been a part of our culture. Our inherent right to self-defense is enshrined in our Constitution. But in recent years, senseless mass killings by deranged gunmen have become almost a commonplace occurrence. As a result, many Americans have come to see firearms as nothing more than instruments of mass destruction, … Read more
