MOFFETT: Election Integrity and Impeachment; Trump and FDR

May 14, 2026May 13, 2026 Michael Moffett

Governor Kelly Ayotte recently signed HB323 into law, which strengthened voting identification requirements. College IDs are no longer sufficient. This greatly concerns Democrats, who love out-of-state liberal college students tipping elections their way. How do we know this? College towns like Durham and Hanover regularly feature around 80% of voters choosing the blue team. Republicans … Read more

Herbert Hoover, FDR, and Charlie Kirk

March 11, 2025March 11, 2025 Charles Bradley

Herbert Hoover forged the program that fed a starving Europe after World War I. Many believe that success is what brought him to his ill-fated presidency. After WW II, FDR’s advisors strongly advised him not to bring Hoover into his administration to solve the starvation going on in Europe. FDR’s position was Hoover was dead … Read more

Our American Blessing

January 20, 2025 Jim Bowman

The current state of the democrat party is a harsh preview of what they have in store for America. Fortunately, their agenda was interrupted by an awakened populace that once again elected Donald Trump! Many have attributed Trump’s return to an ever-saving Grace, especially since that day in Butler, Pa., rather than the reckless manner … Read more

Quick Thought – Republican “packing” or Democrat “packing” – which is worse?

September 20, 2020 Skip

With the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, the Democrats have threatened, like FDR did, to “pack the Court” by adding new Justices if Trump and the Republicans ram through a replacement for RBG as soon as possible. Governor Sununu, as Grokster Doris pointed out (In Emergency Order #69, Sununu Packs the Public Health … Read more

Voting Democrat means voting to destroy our great country

August 31, 2020 Op-Ed

This is in response to the letter recently printed in The Sun by Richard Davis. How someone can live to be 84 and be so misinformed about the issues is incredible to me. Seems that CNN and MSNBC have done their job. Mr. Davis mentions FDR, the president who did not so much end the Depression as prolong it in an attempt to have more people dependent on government.

Attacking Washington

August 14, 2020 Percy Blakeney

Today, some of the men who founded our country are under attack. George Washington’s skill, character, and leadership were widely acknowledged by his peers. So much so the Continental Congress selected him unanimously to lead the Continental Army.

FDR Stole Two-Thirds of Americans’ Savings

July 28, 2020 Percy Blakeney

Remember when FDR stole two-thirds of Americans’ savings? No, of course you don’t. It happened 87 years ago. The last time that populism existed as a major force in the world was in the 1930s. What we’re experiencing today is similar to what happened in the 1930s in many ways.

Why Is the Black Constituency So Hard Core Democrat?

May 25, 2020 Percy Blakeney

Academia and the media are involved in peddling a narrative. Black America has bought the narrative they are pushing lock, stock, and barrel. The narrative is: Once upon a time, a long, long time ago the GOP used to be the party of black America. The Democrat Party was the racist party.

The result each time is more government, more debt, less freedom

May 16, 2020 Percy Blakeney

We have replayed this time and again… and time and again. First, the government causes a problem. Next. they declare the problem they are the cause of, a crisis. Then, the government raises taxes and usurps more of our freedom. The government then bills itself as the solution.

Man is not free unless govt is limited - Reagan

Notable Quote – Robert Higg

April 8, 2020 Skip

The most important legacy of the New Deal, however, is a certain system of belief, the now-dominant ideology of the mixed economy, which holds that the government is an immensely useful means for achieving one’s private aspirations and that one’s resort to this reservoir of potentially appropriable benefits is perfectly legitimate. To take – indirectly … Read more

FDR, Collusion, and Impeachment

December 23, 2019December 23, 2019 Op-Ed

In 1940 Franklin D. Roosevelt sought an unprecedented third term as President. But while his first two elections were landslides, the political landscape had changed. Americans were inherently troubled by the notion of an entitled presidency and a measure of “Roosevelt fatigue” set in.

The Left’s War on Climate Escalates: Say Hello to the New Greener New Deal

July 10, 2019July 10, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Bernie and his socialist idiot-savant Alexandria Ocasio-Cortex are declaring war on your indifference to their narrative on global warming. It’s so bad they’ve decided to declare War!

AOC: Congress Amended the Constitution To Keep FDR from Getting Re-Elected

April 1, 2019 Steve MacDonald

FDR died in Office in 1945, but according to Left-Wing genius, Alexandria Occasional-Cortex Congress stepped in and changed the constitution to prevent him from being reelected to a fourth term. While plenty of Dead Democrats have voted, and there may even be dead Democrats who have been elected or re-elected to an office (by dead Democrats?), … Read more

Boston University has failed Miserably

November 27, 2018 Op-Ed

By Jim Johnson

Alexandria Ocasio-Ortiz (Graduated with a bachelor’s degree in economics and international relations from Boston University):

What we had was an existential threat in the context of a war. We had a direct existential threat with another nation, this time it was Nazi Germany, and the Axis, who explicitly made the United States as an enemy, as an enemy.

Me:

Wrong, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor President Roosevelt proclaimed:

“Yesterday, December seventh, 1941, a date which will live in infamy, the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan”. The U.S. declared war on Japan December 8, 1941. Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, Japan’s Axis partners declared war on the U.S December 11,1941.

IRS As Political Hammer, Not the First Time, Nor the Last, Unless…

September 26, 2018May 23, 2013 Scott Morales

Sometimes blogging is about creative commentary and piquing the other side while, hopefully, providing a different perspective. Other times, it’s just about spreading information. This is one of those times. I initially dressed this up with all sorts of semi-wittiness (heavy on the “semi”) reminiscent of a tired comic strip, but the length of the blog was inordinately long, so I trimmed it down, but if it’s still too long, I urge you to at least read the brief IRS history of abuse further below.
