MACDONALD: Have The Wingnuts Worn Out Their Welcome?

February 24, 2026 Steve MacDonald

Mr. Trump has had a long list of successes in his first year. Most Americans are not aware of them because while they may have voted for him, they watch Handmaid media outlets. The last honest thing they reported was Trump winning the office. Most of the coverage has been in support of the calculated … Read more

OPINION: We Are At A Crossroads

February 13, 2026 Right America Media

Most people have no idea how perilous our current situation is. The entirety of the Democrat Party is engaged in a treasonous coup and open rebellion against Trump, at the federal, state, judicial and local levels. It’s not as easy as just doing some paperwork and arresting people. It’s all one giant criminal conspiracy, imbedded … Read more

Trump’s great, but most folks can’t see it, and the further toward the left you go, the worse the TDS gets. But the guy is an Energizer Bunny with a plan and a vision, and if we cna hang on to the midterms, even he will find a way to make a deal with Congress … Read more

No, the Democrats (NH’s Hassan, Shaheen, Kuster, and Pappas) Can Never Out Run “Defund the Police” Albatross around Their Necks

September 24, 2022 Skip

And they did it to themselves. I DVR Fox News’s “The Five” because I like to watch/listen to smart people talking about the issues of the day. On Thursday’s show (which I am just watching as I type this), their first segment had this as their topic and had a clip of all Democrat candidates … Read more

April 29, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Sometime before the Mid-Term elections, and probably before June of this year, Jen ‘Circle Back’ Psaki won’t be circling back anymore. She’s moving on and not looking back. But her new job is the same but at MSNBC.

November 28, 2019November 28, 2019 Steve MacDonald

From the New York Times (NYT), so it has to be true (cough-cough) comes a report that should have the NYT shaking in its little Lenin shoes. American’s who voted for Trump in 2016 but cast ballots for Dems in the mid-terms are voting Trump in 2020.

Steve Negron Got More Votes in 2018 Than Any Republican in a NH CD-2 Midterm Since 2002

March 29, 2019March 28, 2019 Steve MacDonald

There’s a story going around behind the scenes in NH CD-2. I’ve heard it shared in person and in writing. The claim is that the result of the 2018 Mid-term suggest Steve Negron might not be our best Republican candidate. But as Mid-Terms go, he is.

Maybe Billionaire Tom Steyer Should Cover the ‘Rising’ Cost of Tuition in New Hampshire

October 16, 2019November 10, 2018 Steve MacDonald

Michael Graham has some excellent reporting on Granite State voter turnout at NHJournal, but the number(s) that got my attention were for student voting. Up by 29% to 55% depending on the town. That’s huge. Yesterday Ed Naile noted that he’d like to talk to anyone interested in how 90,000 college students are allowed to … Read more

Election Hangover – Celebrity Endorsements That Crashed and Burned

November 7, 2018 Steve MacDonald

Celebrities endorse things. Quite often, later on in their careers when their agents can’t find them any decent work. But there are those that take to the endorsement bug early, probably because the paycheck is substantial, and it can raise the profile of products or services, elevating interest in the public eye. Celebrities also like to endorse political … Read more

Did You See President Trump’s Mid-Term Campaign Ad? We’ve Got It!

November 5, 2018 Steve MacDonald

If you didn’t catch President Trump’s Mid-Term GOP GOTV Campaign ad on Sunday Night Football, and I suspect a good number of our readers did not because they don’t watch that crap anymore, we’ve got it here. CNN Refused to run it. The left flipped out as you’d expect. So, we’re here to do our part … Read more

NH State Supreme Court Lifts Lower Court Injunction – Senate Bill 3 Must be Enforced for Mid-Terms

October 26, 2018 Steve MacDonald

When a New Hampshire court recently ordered an injunction against Senate Bill 3, a law designed to clarify domicile or residency for voting purposes, most activists on the right just shook their heads. Not that long ago a similar last-minute ruling harpooned a voter ID/Domicile law, so to see a New Hampshire court repeat the process … Read more
