OPINION: Apocalyptic Views

55 min 17 sec ago

I’ve already explained the pervasive doomsday belief of the Iranians and how this makes it impossible to come to any sort of rational conclusion to the Iran conflict. They will lie, cheat, drag their feet while feigning compliance, and ultimately, break any agreement signed or otherwise agreed to, in order to advance their obsession with ... Read more

MACDONALD: Ask A Democrat This Question

Wed, 2026-07-08 21:00 +0000

I’ve done this more than once, and at the same time, not nearly enough. When something unflattering (ish) happens in the rightosphere, the media grabs its microphones and shoves them in the faces of every Republican they can find to ask them about it. On the left, not so much – if at all. I ... Read more

The 4th of July is behind us. Summer is officially here. We are 120 days away from Election Day 2026. These 120 days may be the most important in our history, as they could mark a tipping point. November 3, 2026, might be the beginning of a metamorphosis of America from a Democratic Republic to ... Read more

BELCHER: Senator Victoria Sullivan

Wed, 2026-07-08 14:00 +0000

I write you all today because I must. I am no stranger to controversy – I do not shy away from it. However, I also do not actively pursue it. It just seems to find me. It has done so again. Much of my controversy is of a partisan nature – fighting across the aisle. ... Read more

Today, on the Morning Update, Florida (of course) is showing us how to deal with these liberal judges who keep setting career criminals and killers loose on the unsuspecting public, and it’s what we always wanted. 00:00 Where is the Judicial Accountability01:44 Judicial Decisions and Minority Communities03:35 Impeach ‘Em Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel ...

OPINION: The Other Document Of 1776

Wed, 2026-07-08 02:00 +0000

Most Americans can recite the opening lines of one of the two great documents published in 1776. They cannot name the other. In Philadelphia that summer, Thomas Jefferson and his colleagues declared that all men are created equal, endowed with unalienable rights — among them life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The document they ... Read more

MACDONALD: This November in New Hampshire Is About Taxes

Wed, 2026-07-08 00:00 +0000

New Hampshire can and has bucked the national mid-term trend, but not always. Turnout, of course, is the thing that matters. Issues and debate are important, but turnout decides who wins. In the Granite State. Despite being saddled with useless left-wing tools in Congress, it has consistently preferred Republican Governors and Republican legislative leaders for ... Read more

BEST: RTK Police Files Withheld – a Pattern

Tue, 2026-07-07 21:00 +0000

I was forwarded the attached 1988 report on Laurie List, PD James F. McLaughlin, last week. William Dow and Amanda Palmieri of Keene did not forward this to me when I filed a right-to-know request a couple of years ago. Amanda Palmieri was present during the secret hearings in 2024 when James F McLaughlin was ... Read more

MACDONALD: What Do The Ruby Princess and Chris Pappas Have In Common?

Tue, 2026-07-07 18:00 +0000

What do the Ruby Princess and Chris Pappas have in common? That’s not a trick question, and it’s not some gay slur. Both have been at the epicenter of a Norovirus outbreak. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that dozens of people on board a cruise ship now docked in California were sickened ... Read more

OPINION: No Paine, No Declaration

Tue, 2026-07-07 16:00 +0000

On July 4, 2026, Americans celebrated various people for their roles in founding this country. We can start with Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Madison, Franklin, Henry, and continue debating into the night. Somewhere on the list would be Paine—Robert Treat Paine, a Harvard graduate and signer of the Declaration. And, grudgingly for some, another Paine but ... Read more

CARDELLO: You Folks on the Left Missed a Heck of a Party

Tue, 2026-07-07 14:00 +0000

It is nearly 1 am on Sunday morning, and those of us who stayed up were gifted with an incredible show to celebrate Freedom 250. Donald J. Trump is the perfect President to host this party because he shows the resilience, grit, courage, strength, and foresight that make America the greatest country on Earth. People ... Read more

Morning Update: Misplaced “Keys”

Tue, 2026-07-07 11:00 +0000

Alicia Keys delivered a soft-spoken and very likely well-meaning message to America on July 5th. Keys, despite her concerns about women’s rights, rose from a single-parent (mom), multi-racial, low-income beginning to become a multimillionaire music-industry icon. Rob Schneider felt a need to add some context which we were eager to share. 00:00 Alicia Keys confused ... Read more

ROPER: 250 Years of Capitalism Kicking Socialism’s Butt

Tue, 2026-07-07 02:00 +0000

I’ve got to say it’s more than a bit distressing to head into the celebration of our great nation’s 250th birthday on the heels of Democratic Socialists winning a bunch of elections in New York and Colorado. So, this semiquincentennial (yes, I had to look it up, and even my spellcheck still doesn’t believe that’s ... Read more

MACDONALD: A Not So Complicated Relationship

Mon, 2026-07-06 21:00 +0000

I was sitting on the 400-yard range at Londonderry Fish and Game Club, Saturday evening, after sunset, waiting for the fireworks to start. LF&G puts on a display that rivals most towns. It has been our fireworks display of choice since at least COVID. (2020). And I’m good friends with the club President, Rick Olson, ... Read more

Another happy 4th of July and America 250 to the half of the country who wake up each morning knowing they have won the lottery by being born in the greatest country on the map.

Mon, 2026-07-06 14:44 +0000

Online sports betting has really taken off in the past few years, and the numbers are honestly pretty wild. Mobile-first platforms and live betting, where fans can put money on every pitch, play or minute, have changed how people connect with sports altogether.
