Rudy Giuliani Tells Hannity Why Mueller Should Be Investigated

Two years of slam-dunk investigating by a crack-team of radical left-wing Trump haters has produced nothing. The Special Counsel has successfully framed a handful of folks over process crimes, none of it related to the investigation for which he was appointed. It’s not a total waste. The Mueller team has managed to prove FBI collusion in … Read more

How Did Merrimack NH House Reps Vote this Past Week?

The Town of Merrimack has something it has never had in all the years I have lived here. More than one Democrat in the New Hampshire House.  We may have two at one time. But with eights seats to fill, for the first time I can recall, Merrimack sent four Democrats to Concord. It might … Read more

“Gallup” Towards Interesting Polls – For Once

Gallup has a new fake, pro-Progressive poll out and it is a predictable doozie. A HUGE increase in Americans who want to leave America for good! No, I am not talking about the spoiled Hollywood 1%ers. This a “legit” poll “fairly” balanced and all that scientific stuff, that was created under the same professional pollster-fantasy that … Read more

Josiah Bartlett: The State of the State is Hot!
Grok: We Need Your Help to Keep It That Way

New Hampshire Democrats come into power with a unique opportunity. The New Hampshire economy is screaming. The Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy, quoting the State’s annual report, notes that, “In 2018, New Hampshire was no.1 for economic opportunity (US News and World Report); child well-being (Annie E. Carsey Foundation), and, for the fourth year in … Read more

Break Out the Violins – Federal Workers Living On Handouts

Federal workers suffering under the “Trump Shutdown” are being given free goodies such as food and entertainment by local DC establishments. I would say that is the least businesses in DC should do. “Bars and restaurants are doing their part to entertain and feed furloughed workers. José Andrés’ ThinkFoodGroup restaurants offer different free sandwiches every … Read more

Brexit Means Exit - Yellow Vest in UK

Prediction: Leftists will Try to Abscond ‘Yellow Vest’ Movement in US

The next wave of left-wing sanctioned violence in America could come under cover of a yellow-vest movement. It will advance leftist priorities through intimidation and violence. I think they have to try. The movement that began in France was in objection to globalist left-wing devotion to carbon taxes that made life unlivable for rural residents. The government eventually … Read more

Concealed Carry

Fans of NH #Resistance Shouldn’t Object to Concealed Carry “Here or There or Everywhere”

We spent half the day (Wednesday) discussing the Democrats move to prohibit firearms on the floor of Reps hall in Concord. No more concealed carry. A solution to a non-problem for which the obvious remedy is knee-jerk, heavy-handed, gun-grabbing, unconstitutional, partisanship. Democrats and one “Republican” voted to disarm the entire body.

Florida Court Invokes Separation of Powers in Refusal To Play ‘Adequacy’ Game in Public Education

New Hampshire’s Claremont decision turned on the question of adequacy in education. Property-poor “districts” would never have as much money as property-rich towns. Ignoring the fact that money does not equal adequacy in education New Hampshire has been wrestling with this question for decades. But when you are talking about schools, and education, unions, and adequacy,and … Read more

Yes, There is Evil in the World

Secular relativism is a branch of progressivism that says evil is subjective. Relative. One transgendered man’s good is another’s evil. As such, evil does not exist. And for good measure, what few bad things there are can be contained by government oversight and policing.  You don’t need to defend yourself. In fact, they’d appreciate it if you’d … Read more

Appeals Court Upholds Trump’s Military Transgender Ban

A Federal appeals court has upheld the partial ban on transgenders serving in the military. In their opinion, the lower court erred in its judgment that the policy was the equivalent of a blanket ban. According to Western Journal,  “The government took substantial steps to cure the procedural deficiencies the court identified in the enjoined … Read more

Is Woodburn Trying to Be Weiner

New Hampshire Democrat Jeff Woodburn’s “Weiner” Moment

Jeff Woodburn has a lot of free time on his hands. In an election year when NH Democrats swept into power, the North Country cut him loose. He has been reduced to getting attention on Social Media while he awaits trial on charges of assault and abuse. Attention that includes shirtless images ala Anthony Weiner. … Read more

Nobel Secretary Regrets Obama Peace Prize

Former Nobel Committee Secretary Geir Lundestad reveals that they thought awarding the Peace Prize to President Obama would strengthen him. I guess that can happen when you get as high on the supply as the Bamsters groupies. Everyone thought the mysterious ill prepared Senator was a great uniter. Turns out the great divider couldn’t even be … Read more

Has Mr. Trump Kept His Promise? Fewer Federal Regulations

In Mr. Obama’s last year in office, he set a record. His administration added over 95,894 pages to the Federal Register. In 2017 Mr. Trump added 61,308. The lowest number since Bill Clinton. In 2018, The Donald’s team added 68,082. Still a record low. But why so many? Didn’t Mr. Trump promise that for every new regulation the pencil pushers had to get rid of two?

Will a ‘no guns’ sticker protect State House?

“If the Democrats in the State House don’t trust their fellow legislators, do you think they trust you?… Why do they expect to be in fear of violence from their constituents? WARNING!
