(Waldron thinks that there are “very few … Read more
I grew up in Wilmington, Delaware, and was familiar with Joe Biden. I spent three years in law school and worked in Washington, DC, before moving to New Hampshire over 50 years ago. I know a little bit about the “Swamp.” What I saw in the Biden presidency was deeply concerning. It seemed as plain … Read more
The Left’s new poster child for revolution, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, sparked some early memories. In 1969, the John Birch Society (“JBS”) hosted a speaker in Windham, NH. Charley Smith was a young, black college student from LA; one of the best speakers I’ve ever heard! He joined the JBS after surviving the Watts riots. Looking … Read more

HB 712, a great bill which would prohibit breast surgery for minors, was unfortunately amended by the Senate last week to include text copied from SB 36. This was an abortion statistics bill which Cornerstone opposed and many other pro-lifers due to its origin from Planned Parenthood requests. It was appropriately retained by the House … Read more
The media’s the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they controlled the minds of the masses. – Malcolm X If the captured pharmaceutical-media complex recoiled in panic when Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. entered the political arena, it … Read more
In the wake of Israel’s airstrikes on Iran, a spate of Republican senators quickly exposed their disconnect with the anti-war MAGA base.

A recent executive order issued under the banner of “withdrawing the United States from the World Health Organization” has generated considerable attention.

However, a closer examination of the text reveals that it falls short … Read more
Financial privacy is a right under the Constitution, as is free speech. Under the guise of “credit review,” Stripe is now rolling out a requirement that appears to target conservative or “anti-vax” Substack authors. Stripe is requiring that these authors provide all of their current and historic financial records associated with the bank account into … Read more
The excuse that this regime is better than it was, or might otherwise have been, only lasts so long. Every transition government in history has deployed that trope. Think the Girondins in France, Kerensky in Russia, Weimar in Germany, the Second Spanish Republic, Chiang Kai-shek in China, and so on. In order, they were replaced … Read more
We have a “spending problem” at the Grafton County Complex, and transparency and open government have been non-existent since April 22, 2025, when Chairwoman Martha McLeod curtailed the viewing of Grafton County Commissioners’ meetings online. Is this why? A burdensome 9.41% tax increase of the Grafton County Budget (Fiscal Year…July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026) is … Read more

They expect theories derived from Marxism to be littered with red flag phrases like “dialectical materialism” or “class conflict,” which would be the dead giveaway that they … Read more
Much is said and known about federal government overreach. But unfortunately, very few understand that this overreach is out of control in many states as well. In New Hampshire, supposedly the “Live Free or Die” state, there is an effort to change current law regarding child endangerment to make it easier for law enforcement to … Read more
Everyone likes to be flattered by being called “great,” especially Donald Trump. Equally as flattering is to have one’s entire country called “great” if not “the greatest,” “exceptional,” or “indispensable.” Or perhaps even “a shining city on a hill,” reminiscent of “The Emerald City” of The Wizard of Oz. In the political world, however, there are … Read more
One of the reasons the American political establishment really hates it when Trump is president is that his administration has a tendency to bring out and exaggerate dynamics at play in Washington, DC that the establishment would prefer to keep hidden. One such example is the weaponization of media access. Right at the beginning of … Read more
China’s rise is often portrayed as unstoppable. It dominates global supply chains, pours money into research and development (R&D), and boasts some of the world’s largest tech companies. But scratch beneath the surface of this economic juggernaut, and a picture of structural inefficiencies, inflated innovation claims, and deep technological dependencies emerges. For all its ambition, … Read more
The left has settled on a fresh justification for the Los Angeles riots. “California was part of Mexico, all of the Southwest is Mexico, so the roots are really deep in that region,” said former Univision anchor María Elena Salinas on a CNN panel. “And what they’re saying is ‘No, not in our community.’ Because … Read more
