5 Heroines at Husson University in Bangor, Maine

May 6, 2010 | 4 Comments

The opinions expressed herein are those of the author, and not necessarily those of The New Agenda.
We at TNA would like to honor the five women at Husson University who put their own lives on the line to subdue a male who was stabbing another woman in a parking lot on campus.
One of the women had just taken a self-defense class and was able to formulate a quick plan to disarm the attacker.  In this day and age where people don’t wish to get involved it is even more heartening …

Alison Weir, Writer of History

May 5, 2010 | 6 Comments

Alison Weir is a British author and historian. Her specialty is over the Tudor family. I was not interested in reading about the Tudors at first. All I knew was that King Henry the VIII broke apart from the Catholic church so that he could divorce his first wife, and then he rummaged through wives in an attempt to father an heir. However, I am interested in little-known aspects of history – people or things that have been forgotten or unnoticed. My interest in the …

The opinions expressed herein are those of the author, and not necessarily those of The New Agenda.
This week the United Nations approved the Islamic Republic of Iran’s bid to join its Commission on the Status of Women.

Yes. That Iran. The very same …

May 2, 2010 | 16 Comments

The opinions expressed herein are those of the author, and not necessarily those of The New Agenda
Sarah Palin and her daughter Bristol seem to be on the same wave length when it comes to sex education. Both support abstinence education. And both support birth control education. Sounds like a contradiction, right? Actually, it is not. abstinence education in conjunction with birth control education are the main components of comprehensive sex education, which most Americans support.
But the media has been getting this story wrong for some …

I am Poor, Not Stupid

May 1, 2010 | 8 Comments

The opinions expressed herein are those of the author, and not necessarily those of The New Agenda.
I was on a social network last week when I replied to a thread because I didn’t agree with the one commit about ACORN being good for poor people and how we shouldn’t listen to the Republicans about ACORN. I have very different  experiences with ACORN than the writer did; mine were negative and I said so. Neither the Democratic or Republican Parties have ever formed any of my opinions. Like everyone else, …
