MACDONALD: Canada Is Killing Its Veterans

Tue, 2026-11-10 19:00 +0000

Having an extensive archive of content about government euthanasia programs disguised as compassion has proven useful. First, the documented warnings make me look prescient when the predictions become fact. Second, people are kind enough to send me material on the subject because of all the previous work. This isn’t about you deciding it’s all too ... Read more

BRADLEY: President Trump v. El Sayed and Ocasio-Cortez

Tue, 2026-11-10 10:00 +0000

I must admit that the American citizens who voted for El Sayed, Ro Khanna, and their Demolitioncrat supporters distressed and disappointed me. While midterm elections have historically undermined the Party in Power, that is little consolation when you’re on the losing side. However, the mid-term elections may be a great gift to the United States ... Read more

MACDONALD: Dear New Hampshire Republicans…

Mon, 2026-11-09 22:00 +0000

Tuesday was embarrassing, and maybe it’s not your fault. Maybe the message got away from you. Kitchen table. Gas prices. Inflation. You can tell them Dems did it or did it worse, but most people don’t care. Clearly. But the presidential season is upon us, or will be in a hot minute, and you need ... Read more

Peter Varney?  I wrote about him prior to Veto Day, when he turned his back on his fellow in-district colleague, Barbara Comtois, by blowing it off.  Not only was he absent, which is not uncommon when you hear the usual variety of excuses, but he left her and her slaughterhouse ...
