MACDONALD: The UK’s Latest National Emergency

December 21, 2025 Steve MacDonald

The UK’s got problems, but it’s also got progressives, which means two things. They caused it, whatever it is, and their plan to “cure” it will make it worse. That’s not to say there aren’t those within the Labour government or the progressive establishment (or employed by the government) who don’t mean well. The issue … Read more

OPINION: Why Progressives And Leftists Are Dangerous

August 24, 2025 Right America Media

This egotistical dynamic makes shadow projectors infinitely more dangerous, particularly those who gravitate toward political office.

Call Them What They Are

February 1, 2025 Skip

WE’RE USED TO HAVING PEOPLE IN THE USA WHO DON’T WANT TO BE AMERICANS – WE CALL THEM PROGRESSIVES: Go ahead, give me the names of “Progressives,” in this partisan environment, that agree that the America that our Founders envisioned is the one they want – and legislate. I doubt very much you’d find many, … Read more

The Progressive Destruction of Vermont

October 2, 2024 John Klar

Vermonters are suffering economically, and the state’s Progressive party (led by Lieutenant Governor David Zuckerman) is sharing its plans to make it worse. The pattern that is becoming clear is that rich people exploit the poorest of Vermonters to take more and more money from working Vermonters – making them poorer and more likely to … Read more

If The left Believe They Can Get Away With It, They Do It

June 15, 2024 Skip

On Tuesday, former Trump White House staffer, best-selling author, and current Salem Radio Host Sebastian Gorka posted a video showing how – even though they claim that Trump and conservatives pose a violent threat to America – Democrats are the ones who publicly call for violence.

Night Cap: Is Leftism a Gateway to Retardation?

June 14, 2024 Kensley Vitoria

Is leftism a gateway to retardation? In short, yes. There are several ways to understand how today’s leftists are veritable idiots, bereft of intelligence, and susceptible to the most death-defying levels of stupidity.

The Left and Teenage Mental Illness: Bug or Feature? (Part 1)

November 20, 2023 Aaron Warner

It can be difficult to look at the political left and ascertain just what is going on in their minds. Much of what they say they are about involves looking out for the oppressed, leveling the economic playing field, teaching people to be more tolerant of those outside of the norm, and helping children learn and feel more safe, among other things.

Why NH Democrats Should Be Proud to Lose Their Primary

October 30, 2023 Steve MacDonald

New Hampshire’s First in the Nation Primary is a shallow pool with deep meaning, and a lot of folks like to dip their toe in that water. The ballot is often long on names no one knows. This year will be no different, but then it will.

“Free Speech… That Extraordinary Thing We Have That Muslim Countries Don’t.”

October 21, 2023 Skip

What, you haven’t already figured this out? How can you NOT be paying attention if you love your children? “Free speech… that extraordinary thing we have that Muslim countries don’t.”

“The Noxious Notion That Killing Is an Acceptable Answer to Human Suffering,”

October 10, 2023July 31, 2023 Steve MacDonald

I’m not shy about my objection to assisted suicide, by which I mean – in case you were not clear – state-legalized and managed euthanasia. It is, as most of my content on the subject begins, a slippery slope that gets slicker quicker, and we’ve been observing that in real-time.

Woke Churches: Forget About “Our Father” – We’re Going With “The Sparkle Creed”!

July 11, 2023 Skip

As a theological summary: “I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.

Point That Finger in the Mirror

July 9, 2023 Ian Underwood

Recently, I saw someone complaining that the Biden administration’s attempts to suppress free speech on social media are inconsistent with promises that Biden made to ‘bring decency and morality’ back to government.

“…If You’re Not a Conservative by the Time You’re 35, You Have No Brain.”

June 17, 2023 Skip

Given our electoral political situation where the Left seems to own the young (normally thought to be from the effort in capturing our Education system), it may seem that a Conservative party may be past history. Or is that more like Jeanne Shaheen’s no more snow prediction of years ago – completely false?

Progressive “Love” Is a Lie

June 7, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Remember when the LGBT lobby said they only wanted civil unions, then demanded marriage anyway? Our entire experience with the movement, dominated by Left-Wing politics and tactics, echoes that one example.

Assisted Suicide Could be a Cash Cow for Funeral Homes and Governments

May 28, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Where Canada goes, Vermont follows – remember, they did try to join Canada way back when – so it seems logical to wonder about this. For $700.00, a funeral home in Quebec offer “a space for assisted dying, providing care to the family and handling the body afterward.”

Cutting Sports or Band from Public Schools Used to Be Bad, Now It’s Social Justice

April 30, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Government-run education, like everything else with that designation, wastes vast sums of money for negligible output. And cutting corners is a no-go if it means fewer union teachers, no matter what the cuts.
