Even if you ignore the NFL, you’ve probably heard. Former Steelers Wide Receiver Antonio Brown (AB), briefly with the Raiders, has a new job with the Patriots. Brown’s fatal flaw? Antonio Brown. Which begs the question will he be a campus hooligan or get in line?
In late July, GraniteGrok.com passed the Union leader in National Alexa Rank to become the number one on-line print media presence in New Hampshire. Two weeks later I announced a new goal; pass WMUR’s online traffic by Christmas. So, how’s that working out?

Mark Sanford is challenging Trump for the Republican nomination. But he has his work cut out for him. His own party isn’t holding a Republican primary in his home state of South Carolina.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 couldn’t have known that gender would find a spectrum. One which would then run afoul of protections in the Bill of Rights. But it has, and states, including New Hampshire, are including gender in discrimination law but can it survive?
It’s time for another great moment for Soccer in America. The team known as Real Salt Lake (RSL) doesn’t approve of fans waving a Betsy Ross Flag. “The Colonial flag has been adopted as a symbol for hate groups.”
Daryl Davis is an African American and a “race relations expert who has spent years speaking to and rehabilitating members of groups like the KKK.” Antifa called him a white supremacist.
From 2009 to 2012 Democrats added over 15 million people onto food stamps. It didn’t end there. The Feds encouraged states to sign people up for SNAP, Free School Lunches, and Welfare. The Medicaid Expansion provision of ObamaCare existed to get people on that too.
The fastest growing “fast-food” chain this century is Chick-fil-A, despite the outrage from the left. They try to ban them from liberal cities and airports, with protests galore. But the chain keeps growing.
From the days when G.W. Bush wasted his majority, the feds got an itch to tell you what sort of light bulbs you should use. Obama made the mandate worse. But Mr. Trump is rolling it all back. His strategy? Light ’em if you got ’em.
Did you feel a disturbance in the force yesterday? As if thousands of people suddenly got dumber and then started cheering? That was the NH Dem Party Klan Bake. Complete with presidential wannabees buzzing about trying to get their electoral flowers pollinated.
Gender neutrality ought to mean you are not taking sides, but that’s not how this works. You have to take a side and guess which one it is? The left side. So, pay attention as we get a peek into the liberal mind, care of a #woke school in the UK.
You couldn’t get a leftist to back firearm welfare in the practical sense. You know, a right to bear and buy arms backed by a government subsidy. But if the purchase is some fraction of a weapons actual value to turn a law-abiding citizen into a future victim of violence, they are on board.
In the void left by the absence of nearly non-stop collusion-coverage (is collusion even a real word?) Da’ Media has time to fill. Into that hole, they dropped this bomb. Trump showed the Hurricane heading to Alabama. What a dope. Not so, fast.

China has again said it’s ready to come to the trade table. That sounds good but we can’t know what that means until it happens. And no one goes in giving in, you always ask for more than you think you might get. But what does China have that Trump wants?
Mitchell Langbert, an associate professor of business at Brooklyn College, made a joke about the Kavanaugh hearing. The left tried to destroy him for it. He survived and has some advice to share that sounds similar to things we’ve been saying for years.
Democrats don’t really like people. Especially the ones that refuse to bow down and embrace their politics. They will tolerate you if you shut up and pretend. But the Utopia requires fewer people, so they start with people they like least.
Los Angeles has become a city where people are becoming angels (or not depending on matters of faith) as the homeless population dies young. Well below average age, and not just from addiction or violence.
Think Progress was created by Clinton Insider John Podesta. It sold itself as an independent outlet but primarily existed to protect the Clinton’s and ruling class Democrats and their policies. But no more. It shuts down today.
