I read this morning that Israeli PM Netanyahu rejected establishment of a Palestinian state. Is this news to you? You may have been led to believe that only Arab terrorists are trying to have all the land in Israel/Palestine for themselves...

Concerning the ongoing saga regarding the Elizabeth Gurley Flynn marker, there has been much debate back and forth whether the marker should exist or not. While I have my own opinion, I’m not looking to debate one way or the other on whether it should...

The Jan. 17 Monitor carried two letters that spoke to each other. Scott Lounsbury offered the necessity of “both/and” thinking regarding our national dialogue verses the prevailing “either/or.” He writes, “the misshapen truths from “us vs them” are...

It is with deep gratitude to our entire Congressional delegation, particularly Rep. Kuster and Sen. Hassan, who have ensured seniors and others on Medicare access to many more mental health services and providers. This is hard to believe but it took a...

In a healthy, thriving democracy, the principle of one person, one vote is cherished and protected, as it is part of the very definition of democracy: that each person’s vote carries essentially equal measure of weight in every election, where...

On Wednesday, Jan. 24, the NH Senate’s Executive and Departments Committee will hold a hearing on SB 439 that would prohibit NH state investments from going to businesses participating in a boycott of Israel. All 14 Republican state senators and four...

Access to abortion aligns with New Hampshire values NH has a long, bipartisan history of supporting privacy when it comes to personal medical decisions. Until recent years, this tradition included access to abortion care. After anti-abortion lawmakers...

This year, New Hampshire voters have at least five choices for their next governor. My choice is Jon Kiper. Like me, Jon is a millennial and a parent. And like me, Jon supports swift action to address our state’s housing crisis. It’s not enough to...

Manufacturers and distributors earn profits from products that produce trash. Municipalities pay the greatly increasing disposal fees. House Bill 1636 would change that, with a container deposit system. A number of states have such a system, actually...

For a state whose motto is to live free, the legislature is churning out bills that most definitely don’t allow NH residents and businesses the freedom to express themselves or take a moral stand. One bill, SB 439, the anti boycott, divestment and...

As I prepare to vote in my 15th presidential election I ask myself if we deserve the morass into which we have fallen. How have we come to this? Then I read Mr. Davis’ letter which states that Joe Biden has been the best president since FDR. Ah yes....

The media report that President Biden’s age deters people from voting for him in the upcoming election. I would suggest that, instead of focusing on Biden’s age, citizens consider how all his experience has led to an impressive record of...

President Biden’s favorite warning is that our very democracy is threatened. That’s his standard preface to a call for the restraint of his political opponents. His administration’s ‘Project Democracy’ efforts are pure spin with no basis in fact,...

The Democrat Party understands the phrase “strength in numbers.” They band together, rightly or wrongly, honestly or dishonestly, legally or criminally, to achieve their goals, no matter how ludicrous and destructive they are to America. Their...

A big deal is being made about Donald Trump getting 51% of the vote in Iowa and everyone else being a distant 2nd, 3rd, or 4th. It’s interesting that no one is pointing out that if you total the votes received by the other three candidates, 47% voted...

In 2024, New Hampshire will be the first state to clearly prove this to the voters of America. The governing body of New Hampshire has already decided that any possible spelling of a certain presidential candidate’s name, who is not on the ballot,...

In this primary election, every vote matters. Please do not be cynical or naive and let the RNC dictate your choice in November. The outcome of a Trump/ Biden choice is unknown and a dangerous gamble. If you want anyone other than Trump to be...

Recent letters have been urging people to “stop Trump” by writing-in Joe Biden in the Democratic primary election. I’m sorry, but I fail to see how supporting Biden in the New Hampshire primary does anything to stop Trump. In New Hampshire, the first...

With our primary coming up, I would highly recommend taking 1.5 hours to watch the film “4 Hours at the Capitol.” It is available on HBO and chronicles the 2021 attack on our Capitol from 1 - 5 p.m. The footage is from a variety of sources, from...

I’m a Camp LeJeune victim, born there in 1969. I read the article about the Camp LeJeune veteran. Yes, there is a cutoff date in the law for when claims accrue. CLJA Section 804(j)(1). A claim must accrue before the date when the act was enacted, and...
