Trump’s Dangerous Attacks on Veterans

Dear Editor: This week, a memo from the Veterans Administration (VA) indicated that it plans to cut 83,000 employees to comply with Mr. Trump’s orders to slash the federal government. (Military.com) These cuts are on top of the few thousand VA jobs already cut, along with hundreds of contracts that support veterans’ health care. These cuts will have devastating effects on thousands of New Hampshire veterans who rely on the VA for their health care, including members of the local chapter of the Disabled American Veterans. In addition, about 25 percent of the VA workforce are veterans, many who have already lost their jobs. These …

Who Rules Claremont? Locals Citizens? Or Out-of-State Money?

A former Mayor of Claremont has asked us to consider covering an out-of-state corporation’s plan to build, on a one-acre site in that city, a processing facility that would handle 500 tons of construction and demolition debris daily. We have neither the resources, nor the inclination, to comply with every such request, this case seems clear enough, and the underlying issues grave enough, that we could not resist. Besides, the former mayor’s email practically does the job for us: “For years Acuity, an out-of-state business, has tried to get Claremont’s approval to expand its recycling operation into a transfer station for tons of construction and …

The Limits of Sympathy

by W. D. Ehrhart I recently received an e-mail from a Japanese friend of mine who wrote, “I have no idea what Trump is trying to do. He is making the world to be his enemy.” An Indian friend opined that #45/47 equals Indian Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi in bigotry, intolerance, and mean-spiritedness. When an English friend asked me what Trump is trying to do, I had no answer for him. And when a friend from France observed that the United States seems to have gone off the rails, I could only agree with him. How can one even begin to catalogue the outrages …

In compliance with a bold and decisive order from Donald J. Trump, the 45th and 47th President of the United States of America, on Tuesday the National Archives made the greatest-ever release of formerly-classified documents regarding the horrible, really bad murder of one of his many, many less-great predecessors, specifically, John F. Kennedy. Obviously, like so many bold moves from this unprecedented President, this truly terrific release had an immediate, and really, really strong impact—as one might expect from a Chief Executive who single-handedly forged a whole New Frontier in declassification, despite constant opposition by a bunch of rotten, corrupt, biased bureaucrats and so-called judges. …

Volume 269, No. 14; March 21, 2025

Not to fall into the trap of being the old one complaining that the new tech keeps changing the rules or anything, but the method we’ve been using successfully for years, which allowed us to present you, dear reader, with an image to click and be immediately whisked to a .pdf of our latest paper seems determined to no longer function. Perhaps can we blame this on DOGE. It’s screwing up everything else, faster than we can hope to track. At right, we see an image of the front page of the paper we just published. Don’t bother clicking on it. Instead, click on this …
