Opinion: Declaring the City of Keene an LGBTQ+ Sanctuary City

July 17, 2025July 16, 2025 Anthony Ferrantello

Dear PLD Committee and Council Members, The July 9th PLD meeting on declaring the City of Keene as a Sanctuary City was for me a dysfunctional display of groupthink in action. The lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer + (LGBTQ+) community claimed (without measurable evidence, KPD police incident reports on assaults, or other metrics) that they … Read more

MacDonald: Legislature Sends Law to Gov. Desk Ending Sanctuary Cities

May 17, 2025 Steve MacDonald

New Hampshire is the only state in the Northeast other than Maine that is NOT a Sanctuary State, but it did not strictly prohibit towns or cities from pretending they were. This amounted to local political pressure to dissuade peace officers from assisting federal immigration enforcement, particularly with detention retainers. In practice, this produces two … Read more

These Are The People In Your (Sanctuary City) Neighborhood!

March 27, 2025 Steve MacDonald

Many of us grew up with Sesame Street (before HBO bought it and turned it into whatever it is now). I’m not sure how long they went with the ‘These are the people in your neighborhood song‘ but Bob used to sing it and there were postmen and plumbers and stuff. This gallery of local … Read more

Trump DOJ Is Already Suing Sanctuary Cities

February 8, 2025 Steve MacDonald

Newly Confirmed US Attorney General Pam Bondi isn’t wasting any time enforcing existing immigration law. Her DOJ has paused all funding for 60 days to any sanctuary city or county, pending review. In other words, if Congress passed the law and your plucky berg isn’t following it – especially immigration law – the DOJ will … Read more

Ninth Circuit Ruling Kneecaps Sanctuary Cities and States

December 5, 2024 Steve MacDonald

A court case that began during Donald Trump’s first stint as the Commander in Chief has resulted in a favorable ruling just as he prepares for round two. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled unanimously that the federal government retains the authority to deport foreign nationals in the U.S. illegally, even over the … Read more

I Had the Chance to Ask Both NH Republican Gubernatorial Candidates This Question …

July 2, 2024 Skip

Sunday, Norm held a “Pre-4th of July” party at his home (for a select group of Conservative political activists as well as a few politicians), high over Lake Winnipesaukee, which allows views from Wolfeboro to Alton. Both Chuck Morse and Kelly Ayotte, who are running for the Republican nomination for Governor, were among those invited.

So Kids, What Did We Learn From This Week’s House Session (6/13/24)?

June 14, 2024June 14, 2024 Judy Aron

Today, we learned that this was the last day of the House Session until the Fall when we come back for “Veto Day.” Today’s program included three memorials by colleagues who remembered past House Members who passed away this year.

So Kids, What Did We Learn From This Week’s House Session (5/2/24)?

May 9, 2024May 3, 2024 Judy Aron

We learned that when Republicans do not show up, it can be a pretty disappointing day in the House. Additionally, the same thing happens when we have a few person advantage and a handful of “Republicans” vote along with House Democrats to kill perfectly good bills, and conversely pass pretty awful ones. If you know some good Conservatives in your district, please urge them to sign up to run in June.

So Kids, What Did We Learn From This Week’s House Session (06/08/23)?

June 9, 2023June 9, 2023 Judy Aron

We learned that Republican attendance still put them in the minority today as compared to the Democrat caucus. With 8 Republican members out, and 4 on the Dem side, it put the numbers around 191D-187R in the morning and hovering around 188D-182R later in the day. It is the reason some nanny state bills passed … Read more

NH House Passes Bill That Would Ban Sanctuary Cities in the Granite State

March 21, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Sanctuary cities are all the rage with the liberal elite, but you can find plenty of so-called Republican bleeding hearts to help them. People who have decided that rule of law is situational, not foundational.

The Eradication of Traditional American Values = The Eradication of America

November 2, 2020November 2, 2020 Ken Eyring

Traditional American values are what make America exceptional! American values are under attack, and American values are losing because Americans have been bullied into silence!

Democrat leadership across the country have supported…

Another example of the Left perverting our common language: Sanctuary City

February 29, 2020 Skip

I’ve been railing (wailing?) for a while about how the Left is perverting our language right out from underneath our lips. Like Transgender – a word of the Left. We should be calling it by its actual name ALL the time: gender dysphoria.

Appeals Court Rules Feds Can Withhold Federal Dollars to Cities That Refuse to Work with ICE

February 26, 2020 Steve MacDonald

The ongoing feud between Mr. Trump enforcing the law and ballot-harvesting liberal urban welfare pimps breaking it has hopped another speedbump. Left-Wing crime capitalists protect illegal alien drug lords and human traffickers. Trump says, if you won’t help us with criminal-aliens we’ll cut your federal funds.

AG William Barr: Filing Multiple Lawsuits Against Illegal Alien Sanctuary Cities and States

February 12, 2020 Steve MacDonald

The Trump Administration has been tossing warning shots across the bow of sanctuary cities and states for three years. You are breaking federal law, and we will enforce the law. That time has arrived. Attorney General William Barr cometh.

Sanctuary – Nation – Law – Society

Sanctuary is a violation of our nation, law and society. Why is this true? Nations all have clearly delineated borders. The borders of a country must have the respect of citizens and neighbors. Wars are fought over disrespect for the territory of a nation. These things we know because history so informs us.

Illegal Alien Air – ICE to Fly Illegals to California Three Times Per Week (Until Further Notice)

May 20, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Overwhelmed border areas in Texas will get some relief. Border Patrol plans to begin flying “families” from these places where Democrats claim there is no crisis to the Sanctuary State of California.

So NH State Liz McConnell – can you tell us WHY you think NH Cities should disobey the Law?

May 15, 2019 Skip

Yep, that’s right – Liz McConnell ran and won in an R+5 district (just call it a high Republican district – Brentwood). The question is, how did she do it? How could someone that is a hard Left Progressive Democrat win an a district that is overwhelmingly Republican? I can think of only two ways … Read more

Trump Say’s He’s Going to Ship Illegals To Sanctuary Cities Until Congress Changes the Law

April 16, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The Democrats (and their judges) have been adamant. You can’t detain these illegals; you have to release them. Mr. Trump punked the Left with his suggestion that he’d send them to Sanctuary Cities. Now he’s blaming Congress and says Homeland will be instructed to do just that.

Merrimack’s Murphy, Rung, Stack, Thomas, and 99% Of NH House Democrats Choose Drug Traffickers over Your Kids

March 2, 2019March 1, 2019 Steve MacDonald

All four of Merrimack’s Democrat House reps and 99% of all voting Democrats chose to allow sanctuary cities in the GraniteState this week. As you may know, Sanctuary cities are targeted by international narco-terrorists to traffic drugs like heroin and Fentanyl.

New Hampshire Democrats Demand More Money For A Problem They Don’t Want to Solve

September 26, 2018April 19, 2018 Steve MacDonald

New Hampshire is getting another $3.1 Million to combat the opioid crisis. US News is reporting that New Hampshire’s All Gurl Delegation, Democrat x four, says it is not enough.

New Hampshire’s delegation had urged President Donald Trump’s administration to revise the formula used to allocate funding so it prioritizes states like New Hampshire that are hardest hit by the crisis. But that didn’t happen.

This coming from a gaggle of progressive geese with no real interest in solving “the problem.”
