July 21, 2026 Ray Cardello

It is unclear why the DOJ appears reluctant to intervene in the invasion of Chinese-connected illegal marijuana grow sites across the country. We know in Maine that Governor Mills and her brother are financially benefiting from working with the cartel, which explains why she has had state authorities step down from their raids on illegal … Read more

CARDELLO: Chinese Pot Farms in Maine are Still Here

May 22, 2026 Ray Cardello

Even If The Attention is Not The illegal Chinese pot farms in Maine must be thrilled that there is so much other illegal or corrupt activity in Maine that they have fallen under the radar.

The Mess Janet Mills Has Made of Maine

April 12, 2025 Ray Cardello

Maine is a beautiful state, blessed by God with a long and rocky shore with the Atlantic, incredible mountains for hikers and skiers, inland lakes for boaters, and a plethora of woodlands for campers.

Bear Pond Conservative Chronicles: What Is The Bigger Threat: Parents Or A Chinese Cartel

March 11, 2024 Ray Cardello

It seems like this should be a concise article. Obviously, a Chinese Cartel is far more dangerous, and every effort should be made to eradicate it. Well, you would be wrong. Why would I write an article comparing the real threat of Chinese Cartels and the myth of parents who protest school boards as terrorists?

NHGOP “Leader” Jason Osborne … I’m Helpless; Totally Helpless

May 9, 2023 Ed Mosca

Jason Osborne still does NOT understand why the NHGOP in particular … and the GOP generally … performed so abysmally in 2022. His thinking is STUCK in the 90s, or maybe the 80s or 70s. He believes that voters only think about the “top-of-the-ticket” and then fill in the same Party as their top-of-the-ticket choice … Read more

Bananas Guide To Living In A Banana Republic

March 23, 2023 Johnny Bananas (Fake News Reporter!)

Sic transit Gloria, as the saying goes.

December 26, 2020 Steve MacDonald

The Racial Justice Alliance is pissed. The legal weed industry is too damn white, they say. Not enough people of color. And they say it was built to be that way, and they demand that Vermont change theirs.

NH State Senate Shelves Legal Weed ’till Next Session

May 31, 2019 Steve MacDonald

New Hampshire’s effort to grow government off legal weed has stalled in the New Hampshire Senate. Senators want to study the bill some more because it lacks the House votes to survive a promised veto.

Legal Weed in California Leads to More Marijuana Enforcement (not less).

February 19, 2019February 18, 2019 Steve MacDonald

I could care less if you smoke pot. I have cared a great deal about the effort by various factions to get the state’s permission to grow or use the stuff. That was always going to come with strings and taxes. More government not less. A regulatory system, inspectors, and more enforcement. California is proving me right.

More Fatal Crashes on 4-20 after 4:20PM Study Shows

September 26, 2018April 20, 2018 Steve MacDonald

I could write about the Union-paid-for anti-gun rally at the NH statehouse today, or how they are protesting alongside the 420 pot rally folks who will also be there, but I decided to post this instead.

Researchers sought to learn whether there was any added risk of driving on April 20 – a recognized day of celebration in the United States among pot enthusiasts – when marijuana use is trumpeted and encouraged and legal sales are noticeably higher. And after examining 25 years of traffic crash data, what they found was a 12 percent increased risk of a fatal car crash taking place that day after 4:20 pm, the unofficial kickoff time of the drug’s holiday.

Smoking Weed With Dignity

September 26, 2018March 1, 2011 Steve MacDonald

Chuck Weed is back again to take another shot at the death with dignity bill. This year it is called HB531 and according to this morning’s paper it is about to die without much dignity. I think we can call that smoking Weed. (Sorry medical marijuana advocates, this is not a story about pot.)
