WASHINGTON – Donald Trump is hardly the first national politician to play the “enemy of the people” card against the working press covering him, to rile up crowds of the faithful to a fever pitch. More than half a century ago, the late Democratic Alabama Gov. George Corley Wallace ...

Mostly missing from the moving and deserved tributes to Sen. John McCain was attention to McCain’s gift for self-deprecating humor. When a Gallup Poll, during his last Senate term, showed that only 11 percent of the public had a favorable view of the U.S. Congress, McCain noted that when ...

First, they’d come for the rapists and murderers (they claimed), and the crowds chanted and cheered. Then, they‘d come for the “bad hombres” (they promised), and the rallies went wild. Then, they came for asylum seekers at the borders and the children in their arms, and the true ...

On Tuesday, you will have the opportunity to choose a Republican Senate candidate for Senate District 12. I appreciate what the incumbent senator has tried but failed to do, but I believe he is missing key issues impacting District 12. In his recent letter to the editor, Sen. Avard talked ...

When the arts center was being pushed by city hall and the downtown crowd, we were told there will be no problem raising the $4 million in seed money. You folks remember that don’t you? Here we are, eight months later with no money raised. Now, the city hall crowd tells us that they spent ...

I was talking with a young man about his seventh grade in central New Hampshire. He told me that the school often played “Demons” by Imagine Dragons. I looked up the lyrics: I wanna hide the truth I wanna to shelter you But with the beast inside There’s nowhere we can hide When ...
