Newspaper publisher and GOP kingmaker Nackey Scripps Loeb headed the Union Leader Corporation, one of the most unusual--and influential--local newspaper companies in the United States. Her unapologetic conservatism and powerful perch in the home of the first-in-the-nation presidential primary elicited fear and respect while her leadership of New Hampshire's Union Leader gave her an outsized role in American politics. In Political Godmother Meg Heckman looks at Loeb's rough-and-tumble political life against the backdrop of the right-wing media landscape of the late twentieth century. Heckman reveals Loeb as a force of nature, more than willing to wield her tremendous clout and able to convince the likes of Pat Buchanan to challenge a sitting president. Although Loeb initially had no interest in the newspaper business, she eventually penned more than a thousand front-page editorials, drew political cartoons, and became a regular on C-SPAN. A fascinating look at power politics in action, Political Godmother reveals how one woman ignited conservatism's transformation of the contemporary Republican Party.

On the 9th of November, 2020 Russian politologist Vladimir Solo- vyov offered to purchase Odessa and south from Ukraine. Link: https://ria.ru/20201109/odessa-1583780656.html I want to say that my spiritual father is from Odessa oblast, my grandfather on the father’s line who passed away in suffering exactly on hat day is from Odessa. My grandmother is from Nikolaev, on the mother’s line my grandmother is from Kaluga oblast - the home of the Marshal Georgy Zhukov, my grandfa ther is from Ural. I want you to publicly apologize for your words about the purchase of the Hero-City (Gorod Geroy) Odessa and the south, which was by the way built by the Russian people. When there are countries in the world invest into the foreign policy for establishment the military, the political and economic unions, by all means and from one side correctly, with all the power go forward. You with the sense of humor, being the head of one of the leading alternative political streams of infromation that is one of the sources for the people of the Commonwealth of Independent States (SNG) say about the purchase of the Odessa and the whole south from Ukraine.The Kulikovo field (the area of Odessa where cruel events took place on the 2nd of May, 2014) was named after the Battle at the Kulikovo Field in the times of PRAVOSLAVIE, which took place on the 8th of September, 1380 on the Remembrance Day of the Nativity of the Holy Mary. Events on the 2nd of Maywhich took place on the Remembrance Day of Saint Matrona of Moscow. I do know if I can talk to you this way. You are just a political scientist. (The english term that I do not recognize but politologist) The Great Fatherland War - is the eternal memory. It is a Great Victory! We - Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians, maybe someone counts himself Russian-speaking Ukrainian, I do not know, but our blood , in the veins of our fathers was fighting and was spilled in the Great Fatherland War, and now we can live together on one, native and loved land. Let’s resolve it forever (read the book Russia, Ukraine, Belarus. The Ceasefire) and let’s live like the brother people on our own land. I already said in this book that I have forgiven the cruelty of Ukrainian events that were coming from hands and the government that had only partial genetic affilation to our land. I have forgiven Viktor Yanukovich that you left us behind. But you, Vladimir Solovyov, shall have to ask publicly for forgiveness that you wanted to purchase us!!!Are you wiling to do so?
