MACDONALD: Pornography Is Not Education

If you are unfamiliar with Walter Hudson, then you are missing out on some genius hot takes and sober analysis of things going on in Minnesota. I am only recently acquainted and wish I’d found him a few months ago. His commentary on the anti-ICE protests and the shenanigans is outstanding and worth your time … Read more

GrokTALK!: Telling Judges to Pound Sand

This week, on GrokTALK! I open with some fun facts: Everyone in Minnesota knew about the fraud, started to do something about it, but Democrats killed, rewrote it, and now it’s toothless. Then I discuss a growing trend among elected officials, at least in New Hampshire, to publicly tell judges they are out of their … Read more

CARDELLO: Then There is Donald Trump

We are a society of strong words, fair intentions, and little conviction for living up to either. After Hitler exterminated 6 million Jews, the world vowed it would never sit idly by and let another massacre happen; not on our watch. Then we watched Pol Pot kill 3 million Cambodians. China is incarcerating as many … Read more

Welcome back to another installment of Monday Memes. It’s a bit beefier than usual, mostly from a handful of “Iran” memes that came my way after I’d already put the post together. Extra memes. Not really a hardship. Here we go. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more

MOFFETT: Pondering and Processing; Iran and Iraq

Two of the 14 Marine Corps Leadership Traits are Initiative and Decisiveness, and President Trump certainly took some initiative and was decisive with his decision to bomb Iran and decapitate its leaders. (Other traits include Dependability, Tact, Integrity, Unselfishness, and Loyalty, which are subjects for a different column.) As was the case with his decision … Read more

NITZAKHON: Update from Jerusalem

I landed in Israel on Friday in the early afternoon, and at passport control, I was asked whether I was aware of the situation with Iran and whether I really wanted to enter.  I said I knew it was tense, and looking back, I wonder how much the passport officer actually knew about what was going to … Read more

MACDONALD: Cherish This!

Garry Rayno just dropped over 1300+ words to explain just how little he actually knows or understands the problem of education funding in New Hampshire. I know. Veteran journalist. Longtime reporter covering NH State politics and the legislature. I’m sure he’s a great guy and knows a lot of stuff, but decades of experience are … Read more

IMANI: The Tyrant Has Fallen!

The world is heavier today – not with grief, but with the weight of justice finally rendered. On February 28, 2026, the era of the “Shadow of God” ended in a plume of fire. Ali Khamenei, the butcher who turned Iran into a prison and the Middle East into a graveyard, was erased from existence in a surgical strike … Read more

Cardello: They Aren’t All Hatin’ On Trump

There was a rare moment at this year’s State of the Union speech that is getting very little attention, and it should, because it may actually be a sign of a much bigger movement. Trump was going through his list of accomplishments and scattered in the introduction of Americans seated in the gallery to help … Read more
