NATO Is the Obstacle to Peace in Ukraine

Tue, 2025-03-04 15:00 +0000
During his recent campaign for president, Donald Trump repeatedly stated that he had a secret plan for settling the war in Ukraine.

Vermont Wants To Put More Women In Harms Way

Tue, 2025-03-04 13:00 +0000
Human trafficking is illegal in all 57 US States (right, Barry Obama?), but in recent years, this illegal practice has escalated, and human sex trafficking is rampant despite its illegality. The State of Vermont is proposing two nearly identical pieces of legislation that would make prostitution “not illegal” while pretending they are also protecting sex ... Read more

If Not Peace, What Is Zelenskyy’s End Game

Mon, 2025-03-03 23:00 +0000
The world is still digesting the ridiculous scene in the Oval Office last Friday with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, JD Vance, and President Donald Trump. Of course, like every event in this fractured world, the Left and Right have two distinct views of what happened. The Left sees this altercation as an ambush by Trump and Vance ... Read more

Democrats’ New Spokesman Might Be The Biggest Gift They Could Give Trump

Mon, 2025-03-03 21:00 +0000
The New York Times has crowned a fresh Resistance leader to fight back against the fascist Trump/Musk administration: a former establishment neoliberal posing as a populist who makes Hillary Clinton look like a rogue libertarian strapped with an AR-15. Okay, not actually, though. The new prince in question, Democratic Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy, is pretty ... Read more

A Disturbing First Impression of Dr O’Sullivan

Mon, 2025-03-03 19:00 +0000
Being a newcomer to Epsom with less than a month to town elections (which we know is the most important level of government regarding property taxes), time was of the essence in finding out who to not/vote for.  Coming from a city that has local elections every other November, it’s a new environment that allows ...

Mon, 2025-03-03 17:00 +0000
The Wyoming legislature took a big step toward respecting the Second Amendment with House Bill 72. It is, AN ACT relating to concealed weapons; repealing gun free zones; providing for the carrying of concealed weapons as specified; creating a criminal offense for prohibiting entry to a person carrying a concealed weapon as specified; clarifying that only ...

Maine Democrats Have Pushed The Wrong Button

Mon, 2025-03-03 15:00 +0000
Governor Janet Mills and House Speaker Ryan Fecteau are in over their heads. They are small-time actors trying to play a big-time game, and the two stunts they pulled this week indicate that this will not end well for these power-wannabes.

Iowa Makes Protecting Girls and Women a Civil Rights Issue

Mon, 2025-03-03 13:00 +0000
If you didn’t know or just forgot, Democrats hate women. Democrats have been at war with men for years, but truth be told, they’ve been at war with women for longer. The political left convinced them being a mom was bad. Being a stay-at-home mom was worse. That being a single mom was not bad, ... Read more

The Medicaid Alarm is Ringing

Mon, 2025-03-03 11:00 +0000
Two years ago this week, we warned legislators that a day of reckoning was coming for Medicaid.  “Any discussion of expanding Medicaid coverage or eligibility should start with the understanding that current spending levels are unsustainable, and increasing those levels just accelerates the date of reckoning,” we wrote. With Congress looking to make $2 trillion in ... Read more

Education Plan “Fixes” Too Many Things That Don’t Need Fixing

Mon, 2025-03-03 03:00 +0000
Governor Scott’s plan for education reform does some things right, and others unnecessarily very wrong. What’s right? The move to a foundation-based funding formula and the primary focus on cost savings being the elimination of supervisory union level of bureaucracy. In no way shape or form do we need 52 supervisory unions governing 109 school ... Read more

Zelensky Fs Around And Finds Out

Sun, 2025-03-02 23:00 +0000
My initial gut feelings appear to have legs – that the endless war in Ukraine folks bent Voldomyr’s ears pre-oval office meeting and convinced him to press his case in front of the world. I’m quite sure his fanciful overestimation of his strength and the U.S. support for him was due to people like Antony ... Read more

A Nashua DOGE/COGE?

“Yeah, right, in your wildest dreams,” a reasonable skeptic might think when reading this article’s title, but humor me and let’s play this out on our minds for a moment.  I will first credit Grokster Beth Scaer for inspiring the idea.  Beth needs no introduction to the regular readers and her locals, but library lewdness ...
