Sunday Spotlight: The Pond is Our Oasis

May 22, 2022 Ray Cardello

This past week was so tumultuous that I had difficulty finding someone or thing positive to highlight this Sunday. It is exasperating to see the number of current and impending issues we face. Crime, illegal immigration, inflation, rising gas prices, supply chain issues, infant formula shortage, upcoming global wheat shortage…the list seems to go on … Read more

The Danger Inside the Manchester Schools

March 18, 2022March 17, 2022 Ann Marie Banfield

I’m not surprised that parents, students, and teachers are bringing more stories about violence, bullying, and behavior issues inside some of New Hampshire’s schools.

Help Us Tell Moms and Dads the Truth About the Gender Craze

February 8, 2022 Stephen Scaer

TikTok, Tumblr, Netflix, school counselors, and librarians tell us how liberating it is for girls to identify as boys or non-binary, and to have physicians change their bodies so they can be more like their “authentic selves.”

Excuse Me Bedford: Your School Administrators Need to Follow the Law

January 8, 2022 Ann Marie Banfield

This is just an fyi to the parents in Bedford. Now that it looks like your school is becoming a mental health facility for your children, you need to be aware of federal law. Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires your consent on any assessment or treatment when it comes to the mental health of your children.

Normalizing P3dophilia – We’re Supposed to Call Them “Minor-Attracted Persons” (MAP) …

November 19, 2021 Auntie Vaquser

Adults who like having sex with children are so vile even career criminals are offended by them. But there are adults “on the spectrum” who like or want to have sex with minors.

Mental Health: Creating More Bureaucracy Instead of Treating Children

February 2, 2021 Ann Marie Banfield

Do you want another bureaucratic position created at the New Hampshire Department of Education? One that would work with school counselors but not treat the children who desperately need services?

Kids Had to Kill Themselves to Convince This School District to Return to In-Person Learning

January 26, 2021January 26, 2021 Steve MacDonald

Our pages are top-heavy with research and opinion on the political response to COVID19. In most cases, the ‘cure’ is worse than the “disease,” especially for young people who have little to nothing to fear. But one County School District has seen the light, sadly only after the darkness of suicide settled upon them.

More Science That Says Kids Should All Be Back in School

January 15, 2021January 15, 2021 Steve MacDonald

Every time I read the NH Union Leader’s Tag line, I laugh. The state’s “biggest” newspaper reminds us that “There is nothin as Powerful as Truth.” How about not reporting it? That’s pretty powerful and has become the rule rather than the exception among New Hampshire “media.”

What George Washington and the Political Response to COVID19 Have In Common

June 8, 2021December 16, 2020 Steve MacDonald

I’m reading ‘Young Washington’ by Peter Stark. It is a history of our first President in his early twenties. George makes a lot of mistakes (didn’t we all). One of them (nearly), in 1758, follows a months-long illness he can’t shake. The reason he had so much trouble?

COVID Response is Creating an Exponential Increase in Mental Health Emergencies – In Children

November 30, 2020 Steve MacDonald

While everyone is obsessing with cases and plotting a new round of infringements on basic liberties those very things are harming lives. The CDC has documented double-digit increases in mental-health emergencies for children but no one is covering that.

Destroying Society Won’t Stop COVID

November 26, 2020 Steve MacDonald

A funny thing happened on the way to the second lockdown. Someone realized that COVID didn’t give a rat’s ass about your masks and distancing. That’s probably because, as we’ve reported ad nauseum, neither of those does a damn thing.

COVID Vaccine Claims 90% Protection But – But… No Vaccine Provides More!

November 9, 2020 Steve MacDonald

This song is not a rebel song, says BONO as do I; this is not an anti-vaxxer post. It’s just the damn truth. Klan COVID has a prophylactic it claims will protect you from THE VIRUS 90% of the time. That might be great for people who are at high risk from this flu, but for most of us, “nothing” has better odds.

Sex Reassignment Procedures Creating More Anxiety Among Trans Not Less

September 23, 2022August 10, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Advocates for things like mandatory Medicaid coverage for transgender hormone treatment or reassignment surgery have a problem. Sexual reassignment surgery does not decrease anxiety in people with gender dysphoria; it makes it worse.

Biden Needs to Debate Trump

August 9, 2020August 9, 2020

Biden’s mental state appears to vacillate between confusion and belligerence. His mental faculties are front and center. The status of the Presidential debates is now in question. Why would any presidential candidate duck free air time unless he had something to hide?

What’s the Final Word on the Fake Vermont COVID19 Spike That Never Was…

July 28, 2020July 28, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Manchester Vermont thought it had become a COVID19 hot spot. The areas went into crisis mode, but the problem was not a coronavirus outbreak; it was a crappy CDC test outbreak. By the time the dust settled, nearly all the positive tests were negative.

Homo Marxian Marxism Declared goals of communism

Albuquerque, New Mexico Embraces Declared Goal of Communism In America (#38)

June 17, 2020 Steve MacDonald

One of the 45 goals of communism in America is to “transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].” Albuquerque, New Mexico just did that.

Why Fishing Can Benefit the Mind and Body in Tough Times

June 15, 2020 Guest Contributor

There is no question; current events will have taxed the most resilient of individuals, no matter what their age. Even with some restrictions lifting, it can be stressful wondering how best to cope with getting back out there while staying healthy and safe in New Hampshire. One of the best ways is through fishing. While … Read more

Guns, Libs, and Truth Bombs

May 2, 2020 Steve MacDonald

I’ve said this before but probably not recently. It relates to one of the primary reasons why Democrats hate private gun ownership. Or, at least my armchair psychology opinion on the matter. A theory based on years of observations.

Op-Ed – I Implore you, Governor Sununu, OPEN NH!

April 30, 2020 Op-Ed

Two nights ago I walked into my bedroom to find my 16-year-old daughter sitting cross-legged, hunched over on my bed, tears running down her pale face, sobs coming out of her mouth. She doesn’t want to go on with school work, communicating, or with life in general.

October 22, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Another medical expert has come out publicly to claim that hormone therapies to transition children are child abuse. Dr. Michael Laidlaw, an endocrinologist in Rocklin, California, says the development blockers given to children are “actually causing a disease.”
