CARDELLO: Why Democrats Resort to Fear When Their Message Fails

October 22, 2026 Ray Cardello

Accusations are flying from both sides about the government’s weaponization for political gain. We know that there have been behind-the-scenes actions taken against opponents for years; look up Watergate on Google. But the modern version has its roots in the Obama administration. Whether out of seeking power over the opposition or outright fear, Obama used … Read more

Tennessee Shooting: Fear Is the Goal

March 28, 2023 Aaron Warner

The shooting of three innocent children and three innocent faculty members at the Covenant Christian School in Nashville, TN, yesterday quickly became the top story in the news. Of course, a tragedy like this is newsworthy if for no other reason than to mourn with those who are mourning and give Americans a chance to … Read more

Before You Go To Bed Tonight Watch This…

November 26, 2022 Steve MacDonald

If you’ve got 11 minutes and want to hear something you think everyone ought to hear then this might be it. Neil Oliver delivers a clear message to the people, not just of Great Britain, but the world. “Many of the people who contact me ask: What should we do? How can we fight back?“

“The ‘Caring Society’ Was a Myth Used in Service of Other Agendas”

April 4, 2022 Steve MacDonald

If fear was the COVID hammer, then the “caring society” was the tongs. People were held to account by the notion of collective empathy while politicians and the media pounded them against the anvil with their one-path policy prescriptions. Lockdowns, masks, distancing, and their vaccine.

Why I Left Nashua

January 31, 2022 Op-Ed

Snow.

Once you arrive at the age when you are expected to shovel, snow is no longer exciting. It has morphed from snowmen and sleds and no school days into scooping and scraping and salting and white-knuckle driving. Not my idea of a good time.

“It’s not about what the day brings, it’s what you bring to the day.”

December 27, 2021December 26, 2021 Steve MacDonald

An ad on one of the streaming services featured a woman who won (I think it was) the Boston Marathon twice*. She’s up in years but still pushing herself every day. She has a great quote in the ad that I wanted to share, and I’m paraphrasing.

So, who made YOU the Grand-PoohBa of “Responsible Digital Citizenship”, Superintendent Kirk Beitler?

December 19, 2021 Skip

Yes, he’s back from his leave. And he’s taking a rip against “misinformation”, fear, and feelings. Right. He wants to be the Grand Arbiter of what is “responsible digital citizenship” yet he’s all in on Coerced Speech when it comes to enforcing that the rest of us must allow our speech to be coerced when … Read more

Do You Value Bravery over “Go along to Get Along”?

November 18, 2021 Skip

I’ve been told that I don’t hold back much. Well, part of it is that I know who I am – and who I am not.

From Krisanne Hall – The Movie: “NonCompliant”

September 28, 2021 Skip

I first met KrisAnne Hall at a Government Integrity Project at the Crossing Life Church in Windham, NH. A very good speaker; she knows her material cold, has an engaging (on the serious side but it fits for the serious subject matter) style of speaking – an urgency for we Americans to wake up and take note of what is happening.

Fear is the Mind Killer…

September 11, 2021September 9, 2021 NITZAKHON

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

― Frank Herbert, Dune

This Was Not a Case of Sloppy Writing, It Was Carefully Crafted to Sow Fear.

July 10, 2021 Op-Ed

Project Veritas has recently exposed CNN for using fear to attract viewers. It is a shameful technique used widely in media and politics. Your local ‘news’ paper [Laconia Daily Sun] uses it more than you may realize.

My Rights Don’t Stop at Your Fears, My Rights Trump Your Fears.

A pressing question from Kyle Smith: “At what point do we decide that enough people have been vaxxed that pandemic restrictions should be tailored to them rather than to the unvaccinated?”

A Willing Recipient Plugged into the Left’s Cultural Matrix?

May 5, 2021May 5, 2021 Steve MacDonald

There’s this guy. He’s wearing a mask in the store – I think it was just one. I see him as he exits, still masked, then the long march to the socially distanced back of an almost empty parking lot.

They Were Wrong. It Was Islam.

March 4, 2021

Islam came from Arabia. When it broke out of its shell in the desert the first place it went was to The Byzantine world. Byzantium was past its prime and well into decay. The Christians of the Byzantine recorded the event as an Arabic invasion. They were wrong. It was Islam.

Remember Surgisphere? You Should, They Helped “Kill Grandma”

August 4, 2022February 17, 2021 Auntie Vaquser

Do you remember Surgisphere? This data analytics firm appeared out of nowhere last year. Just long enough to issue a research paper suggesting a cheap, abundant, 50-year-old drug (that could treat SARS CoV2) might kill you.

More Fearmongering as NH Gov. Chris Sununu Cancels His Upcoming Outdoor Inauguration Ceremony

October 13, 2021December 30, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Faced with a very public and probably largely attended protest in opposition to his covidism, New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu has canceled his outdoor inauguration ceremony. He blames armed protests outside his house and a growing concern for public safety.

Panic Porn: NH Media Reports 20,000 More NH Cases in December – Ignores What Really Matters

December 30, 2020December 29, 2020 Steve MacDonald

WMUR’s Headline: “NH has seen more than 20,000 new COVID-19 cases in December, DHHS reports.” What does it mean? It means nothing. And while WMUR reports hospitalizations and deaths, they never report any of that in the context for those 20,000 new positive cases. And it matters.

Freedom and Truth or Slave to Fear

November 28, 2020November 28, 2020

The costs of lockdowns do not depend on the reasons behind them. There is in a lockdown a sudden and arbitrary interruption of individual plans. Our cessation of movements and relationships causes psychological harm.

People Living in Irrational Fear of This Virus Have Their Representatives: The Rest of Us Have Almost No One

November 18, 2020 Steve MacDonald

I’m going to give this a name. It’s Tom Woods Anti-Panic Porn. The rational look at the world of COVID from the other side. Yes, we’ve been doing that all year. No, we’re not the only ones’ but Tom Woods’ words, the title of this post, are as true as ever.

The Other NH ‘Body Count’ – Suicide Calls Spike “At a Rate We’ve Not Seen Before”

November 16, 2020 Steve MacDonald

We have zero grasp of the lives and livelihoods lost due to the political response to COVID19, but our guess is they are significant. And a looming lockdown 2.0 (in time for the holidays) is making matters worse across the Granite State and yours as well.
