MacDonald: A “Hold Dog Owners Accountable” Followup

August 13, 2025August 13, 2025 Steve MacDonald

Sometimes we publish op-eds or allow content that is not aligned with my views. In part, to gauge the audience’s reaction and to see if anyone has enlightening observations to share that make me or our readers think about or rethink the issue. I did that and, as we’ve seen in the past, when you … Read more

Opinion: Hold Dog Owners Criminally Accountable in New Hampshire

August 9, 2025August 8, 2025 Francis Gauthier

This isn’t a fluff piece about menacing mutts—it’s a demand for justice. When dangerous dogs hurt people, it’s not a neighborly dog problem—it’s a community safety issue ripe for the New Hampshire Legislature to own up to. 1. Current Law Doesn’t Cut It: Civil Only? Not Enough Under RSA 466:19, New Hampshire imposes strict civil liability … Read more

The Climate Cult Comes For Man’s Best Friend

April 18, 2025 John Loftus

The climate cult is coming for man’s best friend. It was only a matter of time before climate-obsessed scientists would set their sights on the greatest animal on the planet: Dogs. In a study from the Pacific Conservation Biology journal, Australian scientists claimed that dogs have “extensive and multifarious” impacts on the environment, including waterway pollution and … Read more

RFK Jr. Responds to Story That He Ate Dog

August 26, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Because there’s nothing else in the entire world to report, there have been a number of headlines suggesting that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ate a dog. It looks like he ate a dog. RFK Jr. denys he ate dog. Reminiscent of the Romneys torturing their dog on the top of their moving vehicle or reporters … Read more

The Climate Cult is “Coming” For the Family Pet – Dogs and Cats Contribute to Global Warming

September 14, 2024November 28, 2022 Steve MacDonald

It looks like you are not the only carbon they want to reduce. The Climate Cult is building a narrative around pet ownership and how it is a threat to the planet.

NH Students Identifying as Cats and Dogs at School

October 30, 2022 Ann Marie Banfield

I had heard about this new trend a while ago. Many parents from Timberlane posted on social media about the students identifying as cats and dogs at schools.

Take a Break With Bill Burr – “Motherhood Isn’t the Hardest Job”

August 10, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Do you ever just need a break from all this political culture war craziness? Gender voodoo, speech police, and the growing mountain of hypocrisy coming from the Hypocrats on the Left.

Can We Call it Canine “COVID”? – Contagious Dog Virus Sweeps Across South Florida

April 1, 2022March 31, 2022 Steve MacDonald

To be clear, I’m having a bit of fun with the title. The correct name for the virus is Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex (CIRDC). It’s real and can be severe, but given the frantic cascade of crisis, it seemed like a suitable nickname because people are just going to freak out about it.

Humor – But Could He Fill Out the ATF 4473 Form to Pass the Background Check?

January 2, 2022 Skip

And I wonder, too, which stance and hold this furry friend would use? And reloading would be something to behold as well.

And God Reaches Down to Touch a Little Girl’s Heart

December 22, 2021 Steve Earle

I got this email forwarded from an old friend; a High School classmate. It touched my heart so wanted to share. Not sure the origin so just taking it as-is. Our 14 yo dog Abbey died last month. The day she passed away my 4-year-old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she … Read more

Biden’s Dog Crapped On the Carpet in The White House … as Allegory

April 2, 2021 Steve MacDonald

AP ran a headline earlier this week: “Ruh roh! Biden pooch drops doggie doo in White House hallway.” One of Joe’s pooches is alleged to have left a steaming pile on a white house rug. And I thought the dog bite incidents were allegorical. Wait. How do they know it wasn’t Joe?

So, White People are Racists Because OWNING DOGS!?

September 21, 2020 Skip

The Left gets stupider by the day – and then opens its Collective mouth to dispel all doubt. I’m going to put the entire post up so you can see the UTTER ridiculousness and wrongness.

Yep, two Coronavirus dogs are protesting

April 25, 2020 Skip

Yeah, I can feel their pain as one discredited Democrat leader used to say. Imagine that – even dogs have feelings and routines and hate to have them disturbed. Especially if they’ve been used to having the run of the house during the day when their masters / owners are now home all day long: … Read more

Either this is the humor or the sarcasm part of our Lockdown – Part 1

April 13, 2020 Skip

And there is always more to the story…in this case, a joke comes to mind that a number of SJW / feminists won’t especially like (because stereotype says they like cats more than dogs): Go ahead, put both your wife and your dog into the trunk of your car. Return in two hours and open … Read more

The Left’s All-Out Political War on Your Pets and Livestock (Including Here in NH)

January 24, 2020 Steve MacDonald

The Left is at war with America on many fronts, but one that has until now gone under the radar involves animals. Pets, working animals, livestock, you name it, the Democrat party is bringing the regulatory state to your door.

HB1389 – Animal Cruelty Bill: an Amendment

January 14, 2020January 14, 2020 Skip

Steve had first posted on NH State Rep Katherine “I assault senior women” Rogers HB1389 mandate on how We The People MUST treat our dogs. No exceptions – just like with guns. I also posted up on this as well here. Frankly, I think she’s one of those extreme Animal Rights Social Justice Warriors – … Read more

Dem NH State Rep Katherine Rogers is mandating your dog be inside all the time?

December 16, 2019 Skip

Just one more example of NH Democrats not trusting “We the People” to “behave” correctly. Katherine Rogers is a serial offender in this matter as she is telling all of New Hampshire that you can’t be trusted to treat your dogs right – even those that should be out in the cold as “working dogs”.

Here’s one for you. “An Examination of Adult Women’s Sleep Quality and Sleep Routines in Relation to Pet Ownership and Bedsharing.” Researchers found that overall, women got better sleep when they share the bed with a dog. Not so much with a cat or a person. It sure as hell isn’t one of my dogs.
