CARDELLO: The WNBA Has Far More Than an Identity Problem

We have been watching the WNBA implode over the last couple of years, when it should be prospering and growing in the Kaitlin Clark era. Kaitlin Clark is a once-in-a-generation player and personality who many credit with giving the fledgling league the credibility it lacked, even after 30 years. There have been many incredible female … Read more

Nashua Mayor Jim Donchess

COLQUHOUN: Mayor Donchess and His Administration Have Failed

Nashua taxpayers invest substantial resources in municipal salaries and in the software systems intended to ensure transparent, accessible government. Residents should be able to rely on the city’s website as a complete, accurate, and trustworthy source of information. Unfortunately, that is not the reality. Through a Right‑to‑Know request, I obtained the Land Influence Factors Report, … Read more

8-12-26 Ep 238 Balls in your court

Morning Update: The Balls in Your Court

The W in WNBA was supposed to stand for Women, but it actually stood for Woke. And now it will take a man (two of them, actually) to define a woman, and that’s not just biblical; it was entirely avoidable and most certainly the fault of those pandering to progressives on the political left. Watch … Read more

CLINE: 3-Year Bachelor’s Degrees Finally Available in NH

In 2017, 49% of Americans said a four-year college degree was worth the cost, according to NBC News polling. Last year, it was down to 33%. This week, the University of New Hampshire responded to those cost concerns by unveiling a pair of three-year online bachelor’s degrees available through the College of Professional Studies.  These … Read more

MACDONALD: More Liberal Projection

There have been more than a few “research papers” out there whose purpose was to give the media fuel for the narrative that paints “Conservatives” with all the attributes of Progressives. These are the same kinds of credentialed half-wits who convinced the world that National Socialism was a right-wing project because it was a step … Read more

OPINION: Fauci’s Big Money Awards Chicanery

In February of 2021, it was announced that Anthony Fauci — the United States government’s highest-paid employee, who was also its number one promoter of the coronavirus scare and associated crackdown — was chosen to receive the big-money Dan David Prize associated with Tel Aviv University in Israel. I wrote then a detailed analysis regarding why there … Read more

MACDONALD: Don’t Hold Your Breath

Good luck getting anyone in “New Hampshire Media” or any other variety to ask Granite State Dems about James Talarico’s latest embarrassment. I know; they should be asking about Mamdani. El-Sayyad, Piker, Spanberger, Newsom, and so on, but Talarico just happens to have the same Beta-Male look as Chris Pappas. It’s like they bred them … Read more

SIMS: Women’s Sports Are Not a Social Experiment

As a lifelong athlete and coach of girls, I refuse to pretend that biology is bigotry—or that “inclusivity” is more important than fairness, grit, and the female category itself. The transgender issue is once again at the forefront of the culture wars. Just when some hoped it might fade, it has thrust itself back into … Read more

MACDONALD: Phil Scott’s ‘Burlington’ Soft Shoe

Burlington, Vermont, has a two-party system. Far-left Democrats and further-left progressives. That’s no joke. They run against each other for Mayor and elected city offices. Voters answer the question, which wingnut best represents the speed of decline that appeals to me. Hardly. The burning question is who can convince enough voters that the end of … Read more

IMANI: The VDH Doctrine – Bypass Tehran, Recognize Reza Pahlavi’s Government-in-Exile

For over four decades, Washington’s posture toward the Islamic Republic of Iran has oscillated between containment, targeted economic sanctions, and episodic diplomatic engagement. Historian and military strategist Victor Davis Hanson argues that this paradigm has proven utterly ineffective at checking Tehran’s regional aggression or supporting the democratic aspirations of the Iranian public. During a high-profile broadcast exchange with … Read more

Morning Update: Choke On It, Dems!

Today, on the Morning Update, Dems get a taste of their own medicine when a DSA influencer uses dangerous rhetoric directed at Democrats who don’t endorse or support candidates who appear farther left than they are.

HOHENSEE: Two Promising NH House Candidates for Sullivan 8

Republicans can take two NH House of Representatives seats in Concord this November. However, it will require strong support from Republicans and Independents in Sullivan County District 8, which includes Acworth, Claremont, Croydon, Goshen, Langdon, Lempster, Springfield, Sunapee, and Washington. Sullivan County candidates Catherine Peschke and Sebastian Zyzdorf are two fresh faces teaming up to … Read more

Sock puppet chirs pappas

MACDONALD: If Pappas Isn’t Old Guard, What Is He?

The Democrats’ moderate party dress is ripped and torn to shreds. Always an affectation, their increasingly radicalized base has smeared the lipstick on the Marxist pig and shredded all pretense. The DSA is the Democrat Party; it’s just a matter of time before the next primary election and having enough numbers to rape and ravage … Read more

GrokTALK!: An Impassioned Appeal

This might be what you want me to do every week; I guess we’ll find out. I just started on Trump’s AGs, and it spirals into a “we’ ‘re getting things done” diatribe, Fauci hearing fallout, why you have to vote and vote Republican, an almost endorsement, why Democrats are a threat, how New Hampshire … Read more

MACDONALD: Good News for Guns

When the One Big Beautiful Bill nullified a handful of transfer taxes under the 1934 National Firearms Act, it set something wonderful in motion. A lawsuit challenging the registration requirement for “suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and short-barreled shotguns.” Absent the taxes, there is no statutory or regulatory vehicle for the registration process. “In 2025, Congress eliminated … Read more
