To understand how quickly Islam spread worldwide, we must look at its timeline. After Muhammad’s death in 632 A.D., his friend Abu Bakr was named caliph and ruler of the Islamic community, or Ummah. Muhammad’s … Read more
Widdershins means “counter-clockwise, anti-clockwise, or lefthandwise.” The term also describes the dance of witches around a fire or cauldron, or a bunch of divorcees around one of their ex-husbands. Contrarywise or left-handed made the term a more than curious way to describe the political left, and with the rise of the AWFLs, there you go. … Read more
The Stromsted family was well known in Pepperell, especially for the giant pool behind their home on Mt. Lebanon St. I attended several pool parties there and other gatherings as a classmate of the youngest daughter, Siri. A handful of kids’ parents were known as serial volunteers, and Mrs. Stromsted was one of them long … Read more

This week, on an all-new GrokTALK!, Barry Obama is out on the campaign trail, and he can’t seem to understand how we got so divided, but plenty of other people get it. With a week left before the election, we’ll share some outstanding video that boils the contradiction down, then revisit the Left’s recent culture … Read more
If you’re not sure what a Socialist America might look like, this is something of a giveaway. DSA darlings fly private jets and stay in luxury hotels so they can give speeches about affordability and all the “Free” stuff their government will give you. From where you stand today, that may not seem so awful … Read more
Derek Thibeault’s recent Soapbox article in InDepthNH once again demonstrates a selective presentation of the facts. Nashua residents deserve the complete picture, not just the portions that support a particular political narrative. Mr. Thibeault criticizes Republicans while failing to acknowledge the positions and actions of numerous Democratic officials and candidates whose records deserve equal scrutiny. … Read more

Despite losing their founder, Charlie Kirk, to assassination on the Utah Valley University campus, TPUSA continues to canvas high schools, colleges, and public forums with the message of freedom, the word emblazoned across Charlie’s chest the day he died. Though college campuses often … Read more

It is Question #2 (HB 1300). Two reputable, independent, tax-friendly NH organizations are providing information to help voters fully understand this … Read more
What’s up with Minnesota? The land of 10,000 lakes should be re (nick) named the land of 10,000 fraudsters, though it’s likely more. And we may have the ICE-Out folks to thank for it. If they’d just let ICE root out the criminals, no one would have known or even paid attention. Absent all that … Read more
Political polls have become less accurate over the last 20 years, and I question whether they should be part of the process or stopped altogether. A few factors contribute to the decline in accuracy and credibility. Years ago, when most people still had a landline, polling was somewhat easier than today’s guessing game. Someone could … Read more
People ask me to point them to things, and sometimes I can. When I can’t, I try to find what they need, but that doesn’t always work; as we approach November 3rd, two recent finds deserve your attention. Use them, share them, amplify the message and the resource. First, not enough people know they can … Read more
In 2010, Kelly Ayotte said all the right things and won the Republican US Senate Primary and the General Election.

I’m not sure why this piece of…work, Marcy Kelley, is still wasting taxpayer money in Bow. She’s responsible for the town’s damn near global systemic embarrassment, an unnecessary lawsuit that will cost the insurance company a hefty sum, and she’s still saying incredibly stupid things in defense of a culturally Marxist social construct. And it’s … Read more
