The mighty and resilient Merrimack River, carving through the communities of our great region.

My name is Linda Lorden, proud president of Merrimack County Savings Bank, and like the river that serves as our namesake,

where a constant yet ever-changing presence, because to us, it's bigger than banking.

It's about powering communities and putting people first

it's about knowing where you came from and where you're going that's Merrimack

This is no longer Democrats versus Republicans.

What do you want your kids to believe in?

There must be given to take.

This is White Flag with Joe Walsh.

Hey, both things can be true. This country right now is dangerously divided, and the right, the Maga right, is further down the road, the dangerous road, the scary road, the wrong road of wanting to demonize those who

disagree with them, hating those who disagree with them, indifferent toward violence against

those who disagree with them, or actively supporting violence against those who disagree with them or actively supporting violence against those who disagree with them.

That's true too. Look, I come from Maga. I engage with Maga every single day. Maga is further down that road.

I will not deny that.

But I want everybody listening to me right now to understand that we're all on the same road.

The left is, and way too many people in the middle, we're all on that same road of

hating the people who disagree with us, not wanting to listen to the people who disagree with us.

Not wanting to even give the time a day to the people who disagree with us.

Considering the people who disagree with us to be our mortal enemies.

Now I'd argue most Americans are on that road right now, unfortunately. So when I say we're dangerously divided,

that's what I mean.
