OPINION: NH Needs to Stop Investing In China

The recent vote by the Executive Council of 3-2 against the re-nomination of Taylor Caswell as Commissioner of Business and Industry Affairs, I think, underscores something that is much more important.

BOWMAN: Let’s “Exalt” what Works, America!

Today is not a mystery but rather a continuation of the greed that captures the human heart.  Its latest alias, globalization, is today’s “must-have” need.  Its destructive quality, however, while masked by the terms of innovation and equality, is only a fancier brand of imagery that clouds our future destruction.  On a lesser scale, that … Read more

SMITH: More Thoughts on The Claremont “Bailout”

OPINION: When the Watchdog Looks Away

In December 2023, I filed a detailed criminal complaint with the New Hampshire Department of Justice alleging that officials from the Town of Newmarket and their legal counsel had concealed and falsified public records—acts that, if proved, would violate New Hampshire’s tampering-and-falsification statutes. Nearly two years later, the Department’s Public Integrity Unit (PIU) has yet … Read more

PAYNE: The Hand That Rocks The Cradle

I still treasure wisdom from an old-time gospel song planted in my mind as a child: What is a mother’s love, dear friend, what is a mother’s love? It’s deeper than the deep blue sea and reaches from heaven above.” Many years ago, my life was powerfully impacted by the eternal truth that “the hand … Read more

CARDELLO: Blessed Be the Peacemakers

According to Google and AI, “Blessed are the peacemakers” is a biblical quote from the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5:9, meaning that those who actively work to create peace will be called the children of God. This is distinct from being a “peacekeeper,” who merely maintains a fragile status quo. Peacemakers actively resolve conflict by bringing … Read more

Back in August, Kamala Harris had suggested that she wasn’t going to run for President again in 2028. She told Stephen Colbert as much on not-quite-live television.
