Concord’s federal representative delegation led by Jeanne Shaheen, Maggie Hassan, and Annie Kuster has actively refused to take action to stop the genocide in Gaza for six long months. Americans now bear full responsibility for arming and enabling...

In response to the opinion piece “A personal perspective on school choice,” people praising Education Freedom Accounts (EFAs) as a “choice” are deceiving themselves and others. Those of us who do not support EFAs are not restricting choice. People...

While watching the lead-up news to the Super Bowl, I was appalled at the amount of money spent to build Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The cost was in the billions of dollars, and a percentage of the cost was covered by taxpayer dollars. According to...

Alexei Navalny’s killer Vladimir Putin is no misunderstood or “demonized” despot as Bruce Currie alleges. Putin has a lengthy history of having his political opponents eliminated through extrajudicial executions. On March 17, 2023, the International...

President Biden, Israel’s latest illegal land-grab continues a systematic practice which has been going on for decades and which creates the seeds for groups like Hamas. It violates international law, the spirit, if not the letter, of UN Security...

On March 21, the Monitor published an article about the difficulty the Office of the Legislative Budget Assistant is having in performing its legally mandated audit of the Education Freedom Account (school vouchers) program. The Department of...

I love trout and salmon and the outdoors. I hate that our warming climate is going to rapidly decrease the availability of trout and salmon fishing in New Hampshire. Fishing in NH is a popular past time for many residents and is also a source of...

I was extremely disappointed with Rep. Ouellet’s change of position regarding the current “death with dignity” bill before the New Hampshire House of Representatives. Both of my parents, my dad was age 92 and my mother was age 89, chose to end their...

The Concord School Board continues to squander taxpayer dollars, run roughshod over public opinion, and demolish community trust by pushing ahead with plans to build a new middle school at Broken Ground, at a cost of $176 million. A current petition,...

Vladimir Putin is a stone-cold killer who has big plans for Russia. Donald Trump is a narcissistic sociopath who has big plans for Donald Trump. Both love power and money. Putin has crushed dissent, using assassination, poisoning, and incarceration....

Those who care about our nation’s horses owe thanks to Senator Hassan for standing up and cosponsoring the Prevent All Soring Tactics (PAST) Act. This federal bill will put an end to the incredibly cruel practice of “soring,” which involves the...

Communities across America are concerned about the impacts of climate change and pollution in our neighborhoods. I am grateful to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Michael Regan and President Biden for the work they’ve done to...

It seems to me that Israel’s Netanyahu thinks he is a warrior fulfilling messianic prophecy; a warrior with a mandate to slaughter Palestinians. The United States is complicit in this ethnic slaughter. Indeed, some Americans, spurred by religious...

The politics of personal destruction have come to roost here in the Granite State. After considering expert testimony, Superior Court Judge David Ruoff ruled that the state was not meeting its constitutional obligation to provide an adequate education...

Two comments on the recent article about freedom accounts: The first is that public school districts are audited on a regular basis. An additional thought is that the same people fighting to keep from getting information on freedom accounts would...

Trump said one of his first acts if he wins the election would be to pardon the insurrectionists convicted of carrying out the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. He refers to them as “hostages” in Truth Social posts and campaign speeches. People...

Thank you, Rev. Dr. Stephanie Rutt, in your My Turn column for putting it all out there again. Donald Trump is and has been the worst thing that could happen to our country, both morally and politically. There can never be enough reminders of how...

The salient point about “no SB2” is that it is simply undemocratic. No presence at the meeting means no voice in the process. Every anti-argument regarding the “no SB2” point of view is simply derivative of that fact and is logically irrelevant if...
