CR: Hillary Badlander Is Not Just Another Pretty Face

9 hours 1 min ago

In the last election, Hillary Badlander, using millions of dollars she received from mostly non-New Hampshire donors, did what most politicians flush with cash do: she ran a hip, slick, and cool campaign to sell not herself but an image. Note: If you were unsure, Hillary Badlander is Maggie Goodlander. In the last election, Hillary ... Read more

MACDONALD: More ANTIFA Thugs Indicted

12 hours 1 min ago

In year one of Trump 2.0, the DOJ made it clear that Antifa was not, as the progressives who benefited from its intimidation tactics, the Keebler Elves. It was real, and rather than a disconnected coincidence like Book Club (as the proglodytes kept claiming), Antifa was a well-funded, well-trained, well-organized militant guerrilla group. Everyone paying ... Read more

BOLDIN: Shots Fired, Ship Burned: The Sons of Liberty vs the HMS Gaspee

21 hours 1 min ago

For transporting us beyond seas, to be tried for pretended offences.”  From the Declaration of Independence, one of the charges against the King that justified secession. It was built on a violent American raid on a British ship years earlier that few of us are ever taught about. In the early hours of June 10, ... Read more

MACDONALD: Political Murder-Suicide

Fri, 2026-06-19 21:00 +0000

Two features of the progressive cult that appear obvious, but which don’t get enough attention, are the othering of people and the justification of violence, including murder. They’ve both been featured on these pages and in past morning updates, but the message needs to seep into the so-called political middle. The middle likes to ignore ... Read more

TYSON: Juneteenth, Minus the Catechism

Fri, 2026-06-19 18:00 +0000

Every June 19, the same paragraph gets read aloud. Granger, Galveston, General Order No. 3, freedom at last. All true. On that morning in 1865, Major General Gordon Granger landed on Galveston Island with more than two thousand troops and declared the enslaved free. He also voided every act of the Texas legislature since secession, ... Read more

CARDELLO: Should We Feel Anger or Empathy for the Legacy Media

Fri, 2026-06-19 14:00 +0000

I confess that I was more than angry on Monday morning at the Democrats and the stupid talking heads on the legacy media outlets. That statement may be harsh, as ‘stupid’ is a difficult word to use to describe a mature adult, but in this case, it may not be harsh enough. My statement is ... Read more

Fri, 2026-06-19 11:00 +0000

Today, on the Morning Update, great news for taxpayers. The DOJ has charged 324 defendants connected to $ 14.6 billion in alleged fraud, including licensed medical professionals, transnational criminals, and drug dealers, defrauding our safety-net programs across 12 states. So, Dems, why did we need to wait for Trump to find and indict all these ... Read more

OPINION:  Primaries Are the People’s Choice – Not the Party’s

Fri, 2026-06-19 09:00 +0000

New Hampshire’s primary elections have long been a cornerstone of our democratic process, especially for offices like the State Senate, which represents multiple towns and cities. A primary is where anyone can step forward, where voters get real choices, and where competition sharpens candidates and strengthens the final ticket. The best ideas and the strongest ... Read more

MACDONALD: Are You Gay Enough for California?

Fri, 2026-06-19 00:00 +0000

The Left Coast Lunatics are setting a new standard for bureaucratic red tape. Rainbow colored tape, actually. The State has a program that awards energy “supplier-diversity benefits,” which has been expanded to encourage the energy sector to award contracts to gay businesses. By 2022, CPUC had fully implemented the expansion. In practice, this meant establishing ... Read more

PAUL: Congress’s Failure Is Liberty’s Gain

Thu, 2026-06-18 18:00 +0000

Congress accidentally protected the American people’s liberty this week when it failed to extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Section 702 authorizes warrantless surveillance of foreign citizens. However, it has been “interpreted” by the FISA court to allow US intelligence agencies to wiretap conversations between a US citizen and a foreign ... Read more

MACDONALD: The Art of The Iran Deal

Thu, 2026-06-18 16:00 +0000

I have no idea what the Iran Deal will include beyond the 14-point MOU included below. Stop being the global sponsor of terror, give up an armed nuclear future, and allow actual inspections. It’s not complicated. You have a right to your own sovereignty but not the right to hold the world hostage. If you ... Read more

I am going to tell you a story. It is about one of the most remarkable and most suppressed intelligence failures in American history.

MACDONALD: Will Artemis III Commander ‘Identify’ as a “Woman” for Part of the Mission?

Wed, 2026-06-17 21:00 +0000

The people who insist that there is no such thing as sex and that gender is fluid have gotten their boxers bolloxed over a recent NASA announcement. All four of the astronauts assigned to the Artemis III mission appear to be male (whatever that means). Before you start running into ICE agents in your SUV, ... Read more
