The Proposed Ordinance is an unnecessary intrusion. Dear Councilors, fellow Merrimack residents, and interested members of the public. Since my last letter, I’ve had more time to reflect on the proposed chicken ordinance. I stand behind every word of my last letter, and I’ve made it public for the sake of discussion. Still, I now … Read more
We now have United States congressmen acting like bedeviled insurrectionists. They are actually implying that our military may not follow lawful federal orders issued by our Commander-in-Chief, because they suggest those orders could be illegal. It sure sounds like they are asking the intelligence community as well as the military to essentially overthrow Trump. Concurrently, … Read more

DOES ISLAM TEACH TERRORISM? Democrats and Republicans should be able to agree that people who believe in beating women, killing gays, and “Waging war upon the infidels who are your neighbors” (Koran 9:123) pose an extreme threat to our national security and cannot be assimilated into American society. The tenets of Islam are entirely and totally incompatible with the U.S. Constitution and Western … Read more
By Scott Vadnais November 25, 2025 For nearly a century, America’s military strength has come largely through self-reliance.

Unfortunately, our military has increasingly relied on … Read more
According to national media reports, Pennsylvania’s 2025 budget deal caused the state to “exit” RGGI. Media coverage also used the words “leave,” “quit” and “pull out” to describe Pennsylvania’s abandonment of RGGI. Pennsylvania, though, wasn’t actually a member of RGGI. In 2019, then-Gov. Tom Wolf issued an executive order for his administration to adopt regulations consistent with … Read more
Let’s talk about Senator Bernie Sanders, artificial intelligence, and—of course—blaming Donald Trump for America’s rising electricity rates. After spending his political career saying NO to large baseload power producers, Bernie Sanders now says there’s “not enough electricity to go around.” And—big surprise—he’s pointing the finger at the billionaires again. In a letter dated November 10, … Read more
The World, at least the USA and mainstream media, was aflutter last week when the Capitalist met the Communist (a self-described Democrat socialist). The expected fireworks never developed, and, instead, mutual respect was seen on TV, which stunned all the pseudo-intellectual commentators that plague our media. I could name the “NAMES” but that would be … Read more
Six elected Democrat legislators who are former military officers with privileged or intelligence backgrounds are eroding our American military chain-of-command culture and values by issuing scurrilous and mutinous comments. Inciting rebellion by urging US service men and women to refuse “illegal” orders, “illegal” orders which they never identified, is punishable in any country’s military, especially … Read more

The American Left has adopted the philosophy that “words are violence,” and as such, it must be responded to with not words – but physical violence. Understand what I’m saying. To the left, anyone saying something that offends, discredits or challenges their world view or established narrative, is in itself, an act of violence, therefore, … Read more

What if I were to tell you that you can take a Somali out of tribal Somalia, but you can’t take tribal Somalia out of the Somali? What I’m about to tell you should infuriate you. American taxpayers have been sending billions of dollars to Somalia’s Islamic Jihadist group, Harakat al-Shabaab al-Mujāhideen, simply known as … Read more
Maggie Goodlander (a/k/a “Squeaky Carpetbagger) recently appeared in a video with other Congressional Democrats directed to the military. Goodlander and her allies in the local press claim the video merely “restates the law,” and reminds military that they can “refuse to obey illegal orders.” But if you watch the entire video, it is clear that … Read more
Recently, Congresswoman Goodlander, a military veteran, participated in a video with several other democratic members of Congress, also veterans.

As a sophomore at Salesianum High School in Wilmington, Delaware, we were immediately dismissed from school and sent home when they announced Lee Harvey Oswald, probably a Russian agent, had assassinated JFK.

Alexis de Tocqueville, in his 1830s book “Democracy in America,” assessed why America was so prosperous. His words speak loud and clear: “Every citizen is taught … the history of his Country, and the leading features of its Constitution … It is extremely rare to find a man imperfectly acquainted with all these things, and … Read more
On Thursday, November 27, millions of Americans will have a hearty meal with family members and friends. Some, but not most, will begin the meal with a prayer.
