While I agree with John Buttrick’s My Turn in the Jan. 7 Monitor, “The necessity of context,” I think he perhaps understates the importance of context. Context is essential. Example: “Houston, we’ve had a problem.” Ms. Gay’s response to Ms. Stefanik’s...

When the framers of the Constitution defined the presidency their model was George Washington, a person of impeccable virtue and honor. We should not have to wonder whether our president will stay within the limits they set. In our history we have a...

Have you lost hope in our democratic process? Have you noticed how the Democratic party is not even letting people choose who will represent them? Are you literally disgusted with the political dysfunction between the two major parties? And does all...

After his mockery of John McCain Saturday in Newton, Iowa, any veteran who would vote for Donald Trump deserves to have his DD 214 taken away, and all benefits cancelled. If they received G.I. Bill Education benefits, theses should be converted to...

I read with interest the front page article concerning our attorney general’s letter to the DNC regarding the violation of the state’s voter suppression law (1/9/24). It stated, “soliciting the NHDP or any other party to make such statements, (such as...

Many media pundits claimed Vivek Ramaswamy was giving up because he had decreased the number of TV ads. In fact, like a wise leader, he reevaluated which programs were most effective and which were less effective. Analysis showed that face-to-face...

Oh for a presidential candidate with the intelligence of Jefferson and Garfield, the leadership of Washington and Lincoln, the courage of Roosevelt (TR) and Bush (#41) and the charisma of Kennedy and Reagan.But in today’s political and social media...

There has been so much stupidity emanating from the mouth of Donald Trump since 2016, it is difficult to keep up. His latest comment on the Civil War, though, warrants a comment. Mr. Trump feels the Civil War could have been prevented by negotiation,...

The following quote by Robin Winks is from the introduction to his book entitled, “The Historian as Detective: Essays on Evidence,” “Someone ought to be interested in finding out the truth about things, for the truth ought to matter.” Like History...

Voters need to evaluate and elect fit candidates to federal offices. We must perform our due diligence. Ask the following. Have they held elective office at the state or federal levels? What did they do before? Have they served in the military? What...

I’m wondering if in the current environment if you have any other subject you are educated on. It appears you suffer from Trumpism and wonder if you can talk about inflation or violence in America, or even locally. I can see why the paper is super...

On Jan. 9, a bill will be heard in the NH Senate to prohibit the cruel practice of hounding coyotes. Unlike other hounded animals, coyotes cannot climb a tree to escape. Their only recourse, once exhausted, is to turn and fight. Being outnumbered the...

If Senate Bill 548 passes on Tuesday it will remove gray squirrels from the definition of “game animals” allowing anyone, anytime, for any reason, to shoot them. The current hunting season for gray squirrels is Sept. 1 through Jan. 31 (5 months) and...

Some in America are targeting transgender people. This news site and others regularly share such stories. Protests at drag queen recitals. Bills proposed to curtail healthcare for trans children. Prohibitions on transgender girls playing sports as...

My email and cell phone, and I assume yours, have been burning up with candidates desperate for money: money before the media casually assesses the viability of their campaigns based on total receipts at quarterly reports, instead of emphasizing all...

Recently the United States vetoed a proposed United Nations Security Council resolution for a ceasefire in Gaza, while all other members in the Security Council voted in favor of the resolution. Also, it appears that most of the members in the UN...

The NH Republican primary on Jan. 23 is rapidly approaching. If you’re concerned about seeing real change happen in the federal government, then I suggest considering who is most likely to beat the Democrat nominee and have the largest coattails. At...

I write in strong opposition to House Bill 1248 (a legislative proposal in NH imposing a ban on abortion at 15 days). I have gone back and forth with co-sponsors of the bill. It is clear to me that their oversimplification of the intricate landscape...

That the NH Legislature finally seems to be focused on how and why landfills in NH are being overrun with out-of-state trash is a welcome development. Also most welcome is media scrutiny of the problem. The Jan. 1 Concord Monitor had an excellent...
