Data Point – Great news from an otherwise whining Washington Post piece

Behold – another Trump campaign promise being met: If you read the piece, this is supposed to be anathema and really bad news; so is the following chart showing that Trump isn’t filling all of the political appointment slots that he could be.  Normally I’d go “so what, good start and keeping making it smaller” …

BlogQuestion of the Day – how come NH Democrats are against equal opportunity???

“Wealthy families have the means to find the best school for each child. Should not all New Hampshire parents?” states Rep. Glenn Cordelli, R-Tuftonboro, for the majority of the Education Committee.

Will NH all Democrat female contingent protest Willie Singletary like they did Roy Moore?

Best female UN Ambassador since Jeane Kirkpatrick!

I had been hoping for John Bolton but Nikki Haley has performed magnificently in putting America (and our interests) First instead of playing footsies in the UN swamp.  Really like the “taking names” bit and no longer playing the kumbaya “one big world family” farce. (H/T: Powerline)

Data Point – If it were still up to Obama’s policies, you’d have frozen pipes right about now

Coal to the rescue as record cold grips the East That’s right – the natural resource that Obama declared war against (his promise to bankrupt any new coal fired electrical plant) from before his first inauguration.  He poured billions of our tax dollars into “renewables” that basically only renewed the wealth of the politically connected …

For all those on the Left that keep harping she won the popular vote

Here’s her participation trophy – and that’s about all it means.  Sure, that what she got (pretty much the margin came from Californiastan) but it never has and continues to never matter thanks to the Founders glorious mechanism called the Electoral College whose purpose was EXACTLY to not let the larger States determine the Presidential …

As a visiting midwest (ish) tourist, before moving to New Hampshire in 1990, I took the occasional trip to Hampton Beach. Good times.
