SMITH: Another Library “Racist” Demands ID

10 hours 20 min ago

Walking back to my car from the state house, a silly thought occurred to me as I walked toward the library.  A Concord local in a chat group made a comment some time ago about two public figures being “besties” in high school.  “Why not,” I thought. I was curious to see what these two ... Read more

MACDONALD: Just In Case You Didn’t Know.

17 hours 20 min ago

Remember the halcyon days of the TEA Party movement. It was so organic that the left lost its mind. They called it astroturf, even using the IRS to suppress it before the 2012 elections. And they tried to astroturf their own version. And threaded throughout, and ever since, there have been accusations that people who ... Read more

MACDONALD: What Do Anti-Corruption Dems Have to Say About This?

Thu, 2026-09-03 21:00 +0000

I can’t tell you how much joy it brings me to see Stefany Shaheen struggling in her Democratic primary for NH CD1. Somehow she managed to take a name known statewide (Her mom was a State Senator, Governor, and US Senator) and make it mean less. Maura Sullivan, equally awful, but not a rhetorical member ...

SIMS: The Children Are Not a Plot Twist

Thu, 2026-09-03 16:00 +0000

TL; DR: Liberal feminism, late-term abortion, and the Clancy spectacle I personally have found this story and everything around it absolutely disturbing. I wrote this piece because I can’t have children. Massachusetts spent August doing two things at once. Governor Maura Healey signed a law stripping the last gestational limits off abortion, surrounded by smiling ... Read more

OPINION: $1.4 Million Vanishes Into Thin Air Without Trace or Explanation

Thu, 2026-09-03 02:00 +0000

“I’m Katie Hobbs, and the rules don’t apply to me.” That might as well run at the end of the next campaign ad featuring Arizona’s governor. Since taking office in 2023, Hobbs has been building a rap sheet of scandals that would make Minnesota Governor Tim Walz blush. From one of the largest Medicaid fraud scandals in Arizona history to a pay-to-play ... Read more

MACDONALD: Democrats WILL Trade Women AND the Rainbow for Power

Wed, 2026-09-02 21:00 +0000

The proglodytes have been creating victim classes to divide people in pursuit of political power, but that’s not the worst thing they’ve done or will do, and the word victim is key. Women. Remember when the Democrats were ranting about the war on women and binders full of women, and then they not only invited ... Read more
