Most of us grew up with stories about earthquakes in California. At some point, you may have heard that a big piece of it might fall into the ocean because of where the fault lines are.

Atlantic Hurricane Season peaks in August and September, but we were warned as early as the spring. It will be a very active season, and I bought into that. It’s been a long time coming. We’re due.

Kennedy Jr. disqualifies him from the State Ballot. It’s not good enough. New York Justice Christina L. Ryba concluded in a 34-page decision that the ... Read more
Mayor Donchess has no interest in providing fact-based answers to citizens. He is all too comfortable misrepresenting information to the public, particularly when questioned.

The Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) claims its mission is to “increase civic participation,” yet critics claim the organization is partisan and should not ... Read more
Almost everyone in New Hampshire knows about The Claremont Decisions. The courts decided they were legislators and could determine what adequate school funding was about.

What else is there to think when being faced with this upcoming easy win, especially after what has recently taken place? The previous election charade has now culminated with its own admission of ineptness from its expected lack of benefit to our people or our country.

By Arlene Quaratiello – In February 2024, the American Library Association posted a press release on its website opposing Georgia legislation that would have defunded it.

“Winning is merely a precursor; what is of most importance is what happens afterward.” In my early years, I voted for a Party’s candidates based on their Platform.

I hope this will be the last word I write about the character flaws of the Vice President Nominee, Tim Walz, the Governor of Minnesota. This topic is distracting when we have minimal time to concentrate on the country’s issues and the candidate’s policies. The problem with comparing policies and platforms is that we only ...
