MACDONALD: Reader Mail

I get a lot of email. You’ll have heard that before. We get lots of stuff, and I’ve been more than public about how much stuff and how we can only ever use some of it. Time constraints, bandwidth, interest. Every now and again, someone likes to send some insight into how much they dislike … Read more

SMITH: Rep Peter “Placeholder” Varney’s Record

Perhaps Rep Varney should be called a “Republican Rep David Cote” as he seemingly aspires to be like him, but I chose the word “placeholder” for now.  We’d like to think that Team Red has higher standards for conduct, especially seeing that we’re quick to criticize the Dems who receive unflattering attention from WMUR and … Read more

OPINION: What Keeps Vermont Deep Blue

As Vermont’s sole representative in the U.S. House, what has Rep. Becca Balint done to improve the plight of Vermont’s youth, the working class, senior citizens, and small businesses? If parroting her party’s line on national issues and feigning outrage over international events count, then she sure has done a lot. Meanwhile, the forgotten men … Read more

MACDONALD: USPS Vote-by-Mail Rule is Alive. ALIVE!

You can never tell with District Court judges. Even after SCOTUS suggests it would be inappropriate for a tiny judge in a tiny pond to cast orders with national effect, they keep doing it. And I know, I’m singing to the choir on the judge problem. The left goes shopping. Finds one willing to do … Read more

BOLDIN: The Reasons the Constitution Exists

“In all free states the constitution is fixed.” Samuel Adams and James Otis Jr. -.along with the rest of the founders and old revolutionaries –  knew that freedom cannot exist with a government that doesn’t have strict rules. A clear line in the sand that it’s not allowed to cross. In other words – when … Read more

SMITH: HB1727 Should Have Never Made It To The Finish Line

While most sound-minded bill watchers were concentrating on the last of the women’s sports & safe spaces bills being vetoed yesterday, I took a look at the 20 bills that were signed and spotted HB1727 (This bill creates a system for automatic enrollment of eligible students into the Summer EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer) program, unless … Read more

MACDONALD: You Spelled “Age-Inappropriate” Wrong

Has anyone noticed the proglodytes bringing their kids to bars and strip clubs or helping them pick out a glossy porn mag at the local (wherever you can buy those these days)? Have ’em grab a fifth and some smokes and off to the playground. No? Probably not. Those are all illegal, whether you think … Read more

SIMS: Governor Ayotte’s Vetoes Betray New Hampshire Women and Girls

Time to Lead with Courage, Not Contradiction She celebrates the Supreme Court’s defense of biological sex in sports but refuses to protect privacy and safety in locker rooms and bathrooms. Blanket vetoes without collaboration are insulting — New Hampshire deserves better. I am deeply disappointed in Governor Kelly Ayotte for her continued failure to support … Read more

Morning Update: Adopt-A-Bum

Today, on the Morning Update, Blue States and Blue Cities have an addiction to laundering money to advocates, especially the so-called homeless crisis, which brings us to a new program in Portland that’s turned out to be a total failure. And yes, I said the wrong date. I did. It happens. Watch on the ‘Grok … Read more

CARDELLO: DSA Shows True Colors With Platform Announcement

Those true colors appear to be a red flag with a white sickle. Let’s cut through the semantics. There is nothing Democratic about this group, and Socialists might be a stretch, too. America should never be included in their moniker as they look to destroy the greatest country on Earth. These people are, at best, … Read more

MACDONALD: Dems-n-Property Taxes

Following on my earlier post, Dems-n-Energy, I bring you another fake concern of the left that could be addressed, at least in part and almost immediately, if the Dems tried this one easy thing. In Dems-n-energy, it was the price of energy. Here, we’re talking education costs, which are the single greatest driver of high … Read more
