In early October, we reported (twice) on the presence of online “news” outlets created by deep Left money guy David Brock. The second piece included a list of likely suspects. Did we find another one, and are they doing the Left’s dirty work?

Two More Oregon Counties Approve Measure to Leave The State to Join Greater Idaho
Nearly two years ago, I joked about making a deal with Massachusetts to give them Nashua. After Tuesday’s election, they might just take it. Way out west, eastern and central Oregon residents are working on a different strategy. They are trying to leave and become part of Idaho.
[Update (3) 11/14/22] How Did Maggie Hassan Get 1100 Votes in NH Town With a Population Under 700?
We’ve got something for you if you’re looking for irregularities in your local elections. Columbia, New Hampshire. It’s way up north. A tiny little town that, according to the 2020 US Census, had 695 residents. But according to the Secretary of State, Maggie Hassan received 1,106 votes from the same town.
Democrat Rule Will Do that: Vermont Has Its Highest Homicide Rate in Three Decades
If you are looking for a silver lining, this report on spiking homicides in increasingly-crime-riddled Democrat Vermont does imply that at some point in the past, there were more homicides in a year than in 2022.
NH Created a ‘Right’ for “Out-Of-State Students” It Can’t Give to Actual Residents
Record out-of-state student voter turnout on November 8th may have been the straw that broke this camel’s back. Yes, I’ve been complaining about it for years and making a decent case (I think), but it’s time to get relentless.
Judge Nixes Biden’s Student Loan Bailout a Few Weeks Too Late
After Joe Biden invented the executive branch authority of blanket student loan amnesty, several states sued. They weren’t grinches; what Biden did was illegal and unconstitutional. A judge in Texas just agreed with them.
Everyone Is Claiming Vermonters Voted to Protect Abortion, But That’s Not What the Amendment Says
This is one of those stories that keeps coming around. Vermont Proposition 5 added Article 22 to the State Constitution. Voters overwhelmingly approved what was billed as an abortion protection amendment, but it doesn’t say that.
Thanksgiving: One Third Are Having Pizza; 26% Are Going to Skip It (Too Expensive!)
There’s a lot of economic misery out there, represented in new research “commissioned by digital wealth management company Personal Capital” that suggests one-in-four Americans are skipping Thanksgiving because they can’t afford it.”
College Students in NH Admit They Have More Voting Rights Than True Granite Staters
The November 2022 midterm elections are fading into history, but the problems with how New Hampshire carries them out have not. The law is not only unfair, but it also creates rights for out-of-state college kids that actual NH residents do not have.
US Senate Race in Georgia has a Familiar Late-Night Vote Spike for Democrat Raphael Warnock
We saw a lot of this in 2020, and there’s no denying it has happened again. The US Senate race in Georgia between Herschel Walker and Raphael Warnock has all the signs of dodgy antics beginning at 9:30 PM. Out of nowhere, Warnock gets a significant vote spike.
#Woke Up to This – The Miss Greater Derry Beauty Pageant Winner Is a Big Dude Named Brian
This is something you will start to see a lot more of – men (or boys) denying biological girls and women the opportunity to be crowned beauty queens. Hey, if that’s your thing, have at it, but I guess it was inevitable if you get my meaning.
NH House: Republicans 203 Democrats 197 – But Will It Hold Up?
As of this morning, Republicans retain their majority in the State House. Sununu won his fourth term, the Executive Council is 4-1 Republican, and the State Senate looks like it will be Republicans 14-10. The State House, with 400 seats, is still technically a toss-up.
Dead Democrat Re-Elected to Pennsylvania State House
Given the unusual nature of this outcome, I have to ask. Is there any chance that dead people voted for the dead Democrat who just won re-election to the Pennsylvania Statehouse?
Could We Do More? Yes! – Will You Help?
I’ve been at this hobby for almost fifteen years, and some things never change, like losing or underperforming elections. Yesterday was the pinnacle of a months-long storm of inbox abuse (not in a bad way). More mail, links, op-eds, or screengrabs than I could manage. Today – almost nothing.
The Only Way to Fight Lithium Battery Fires is to Let them Burn and Try to Limit Secondary Fires?
If we ignore all the hard truths about lithium batteries, like inadequate resources, child labor, carbon footprint, manufacturing, and disposal problems, a world with more of these in them has created a challenge for firefighters. There’s no easy way to put them out.
Culture and Politics: Healthy Man Identifies as a Disabled Woman
At least a few people are shaking their heads after the absence of a show of electoral strength by Republicans. Inflation, the economy, and abortion were on the ballot, and it looks like abortion won (at least around here). You’ll be wondering why.
Republicans to Waiter – “Um, Excuse Me, This Doesn’t Look Right. I Ordered the Red Wave.”
Americans are waking up with a Midterm election hangover to discover that things are different than what many of them (at least on the Right) imagined.
You Don’t “Flip” Votes You Transition Them
Researchers found “over 1.9 million “ephemeral experiences” that Google and other firms were using to “shift opinions and voting preferences.” This “short-lived content … immediately disappears without leaving a trace after user consumption.” Its purpose is to flip votes to Democrats subliminally.
Early Voting Election Day Update – Merrimack, NH
I just got back from voting (around 8 am – Middle School, Merrimack). Turnout was good and steady, but wait times were short for both parking and inside the polling place. I was there for maybe five minutes – and most of that time was filling in the little ovals (I’m slow and cautious about that).
Dems Lame-Duck Congress Will Trash America “On the Way Out the Door” (Vote Republican, Anyway!)
It goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway. While the Dems losing big on Tuesday is necessary, should it come to pass, they will likely be worse than the Dem-Majority wiped out by the Tea-Party movement during Obama’s first mid-term disaster.
