On March 8th, the Election Law committee voted 11-9 to ITL HB-491. HB-491 should get another look before the House kills it next week. This bill would require that the AccuVote machines be programmed to return the ballot to the voter if it reads an overvote (voting for more candidates than will be elected).

Yes, Driving Is a Privilege and Not a Constitutional Value but Are Legislators Supposed to Determine Our Lives?
As the Declaration of Independence holds, the purpose of Government is to protect our Liberties and Freedoms. The Federal Government was limited to a few, distinct Powers.

According to a new poll by You/Gov and Yahoo Sports, 34.5 percent of Americans are watching sports less today than a year ago because of politics.

Yeah, We’re Smart, WH Press Secretary Jen Psaki. You, on the Other Hand…
I just got through posting how taxes on companies are just a cost of doing business that gets passed on to consumers. That Progressives who believe otherwise are out to lunch. So, great timing, Jen Psaki.
The Daily ‘Grok – it still is rather amusing…Hi DSCC!
Hi guys, glad to see you again! Oh, did I just say something unPC by using ‘guys’ instead of the now demanded ‘folks’? Too bad for you who have to read us – just smarten up, willya? I briefly noted before (“Sometimes We Get Surprising Things Back From the Daily ‘Grok Eblasts“) that the Democrat … Read more
Data Point – OECD Total Tax Revenue by Member Countries
All we hear about today from the Left (like AOC, The Squad, Pelosi, Schumer, Bernie, and Bruce) is that companies/corporations don’t pay “their fair share.”
I Don’t Like Where This “Warrantless Searches” is Going.
Steve had a post a couple of weeks ago called “NH Senators Shaheen and Hassan Vote to Protect “Warrantless” Online Surveillance” where he called out Democrat US Senators (NH Socialists) Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie “The Red” Hassan.
Notable Quote – Why NOT hold politicians personally accountable for their decisions about the rest of us?
Prof. Don Boudreaux brings up an EXCELLENT idea / point about the miserable outcomes that may well come from really bad policies – can we hold Bernie (the socialist with three houses and millions made from his best selling books?) personally accountable? Reformatted, emphasis mine: Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) wants to punitively tax certain firms … Read more
Notable Quote – Liberties and Freedom are about “The One”
An essential feature of a liberal government is the protection of minorities, and of the rights of minorities against plunder by the majority. The ultimate of minorities is one person. And so the ultimate of liberalism … is the protection of each person against the plunder of one or more other persons. -F.A. “Baldy” Harper … Read more
It’s About Freaking Time: Court Rules “Individuals Can’t Be Coerced to Use ‘Preferred Pronouns'”
This is a topic like Critical Race Theory except its for the gender-confused. Its aim is the same. Establish and enforce coerced speech rules with violations to punish people as “haters and discriminators.”
Data Point – Homeschooling Has Now Hit Over 11%; Teachers Unions Hardest Hit
(evergreen headline alluded to above). Reformatted, emphasis mine). Data Says Homeschooling Is Skyrocketing …The pandemic, school closures nationwide, and some parents seeing the racialized and sexualized classroom curricula have changed this statistic significantly…By fall, 11.1% of households with school-age children reported homeschooling (Sept. 30-Oct. 12).

I Think I’ll Just Leave This Little Thought Here, Just by Itself.
Yup, the people who do this kind of action are often too dumb to put lines between the dots they drop. Two months later, the message is that while they fear us, we aren’t supposed to fear them at all. Like criminals on the street or break into our homes.
Promoted From the Comments – Really! Why Is One Allowed and the Other Is Not, NH Gov. Chris Sununu?
Interesting comment left by Commenter Absee on last night’s Friday Open Thread (Now we know who leads this Country): “Yesterday, 3/25/21, Gov. Sununu made it very clear that out-of-state students are not eligible for Covid-19 vaccine and they must return to their home state to get vaccinated.”
The Truth Hurts and Spoils the Critical Race Theory Narrative
The problem isn’t the number of guns in the US (estimated now at around 400 million) but the culture of those that have them. Culture counts and a culture that doesn’t value life has chart results like this. If you need any more proof, look at the stats in Chicago after almost every weekend.
You Want Better For A Country? Fix Your Government First
People’s personal conditions, in large part, depend on the governance model that represents them. Ideally, it doesn’t try to “reimagine” or “remake” them, gives them the widest of latitudes to solve their own problems, is (relatively) free from corruption, and acts as a neutral umpire (as opposed to being subjected and joined with Crony Capitalism).
Given the Choice, Government Will Choose What is Best for Government
Politicians always want to be seen as “doing something” for you in order to “buy” your vote. And the electorate has been conditioned to believe that Government MUST be in the loop of life, else we’d all DIE!
Data Point – Why is it that the Left is ONLY increasing here in the US?
And that curve has only drifted downward since about 2016. People have seen what the Left’s “intentions” have churned out for “results” over the years – they are tired of getting punched out by the Left who seemingly puts other issues and people not of their own country being treated better than the Citizens of … Read more
Friday Open Thread – Now we know who leads this Country
Dementia Joe on full display during his first solo presser yesterday afternoon. Stumbling, mumbling, cross-purpose words, losing his train of thought, and can’t even read his own crib notes? This is the leader of the Free World? China, Russia, and Iran are rubbing their hands in glee! All from an almost 80 year old man … Read more
