Flashback- Remember ‘This Slut Votes?’

If I remember correctly health care was a big issue for the Left in the mid-terms. That got me thinking about women’s health. This lead to a passing memory about the contradiction between Democrat health care policies and Democrat rhetoric when it comes to that particular anatomical feature on biological women that is the acute … Read more

Argument: A Small Increase in [BLANK] Could Employ 1000 “Workers”

The veto override of SB365, the Biomass bailout Bill, was a lesson in the mechanics of progressive thinking. The idea was to make everyone else pay more for electricity to save some jobs. One-thousand jobs. If that’s acceptable what’s to stop the government from using that excuse for any other occupation? With a small increase in the … Read more

When Winning is Losing

Some left-wing nutjobs are calling for mob protests in 900 cities tonight.  Why? The stated purpose, as if Leftists need a reason, is Jeff Sessions replacement. Remember Jeff Sessions? He’s the guy Nancy Pelosi wanted fired in 2018. We are far past recusal. Jeff #Sessions lied under oath. Anything less than resignation or removal from office is … Read more

Does the Passage of Question 2 Harpoon Any Future Effort to Pass Marcy’s Law?

An overwhelming majority of New Hampshire voters supported question 2, an amendment to the State Constitution enshrining privacy rights. “An individual’s right to live free from governmental intrusion in private or personal information is natural, essential, and inherent.” Another proposed constitutional amendment that did not survive legisaltive scrutiny, thanks to an all-out blitz by activists and the … Read more

Republicans: Making Excuses for Their Inertia (or lack of it)

New Hampshire’s recent cleansing comes on the heels of two of the worst Republican Majority Sessions in my time as a blogger. Lead by a “Republican Speaker” elected by Democrats and a renowned moderate aisle-crosser the legislature embraced and passed bills that would have died an early death under the watchful eyes of more diligent … Read more

Message to Conservatives: Stand Strong

I see just about everything as an opportunity. I’ve already started leaning into this one (that would be the election thingy we had way back on, what was it, yesterday?) to see where we can take it. If you’re not quite there yet, or nowhere near there, check this out, Courtesy of The Heritage Foundation. Last night’s results … Read more

Jeff Sessions Out as AG – Trump Asked, Sessions Resigned

Sessions departure was inevitable. In fact, we predicted it, mostly because mid-term changes are not unsusal and Sessions recusal from Mueller’s circus made him a liability. Fingering Sessions for a departure was like betting the odds that Democrats will try to raise your taxes. No-brainer. Matt Whitaker is the acting AG, and he thinks Mueller is on … Read more

Election Hangover – Celebrity Endorsements That Crashed and Burned

Celebrities endorse things. Quite often, later on in their careers when their agents can’t find them any decent work. But there are those that take to the endorsement bug early, probably because the paycheck is substantial, and it can raise the profile of products or services, elevating interest in the public eye. Celebrities also like to endorse political … Read more

Question Answered: Maybe Chris Sununu Can Get Re-Elected…, But What About Everyone Else?

Back in May, I questioned whether Republican behavior, especially Governor Sununu’s, which had gotten decidedly progressive, could weather the electoral storm in November? And while Governor Sununu may be able to weather the loss of thousands of votes… what of elected members of the party he (at least figuratively) leads? Candidates who need a handful or … Read more

Vote voter

Merrimack: Massive. Early. Turnout!

I just got back from voting. Long lines of cars. Lots of people voting. An impressive display of civic duty. And that’s at one of three polling places in my town. To the town’s credit, once you got parked and to the polls, things went smoothly. Even with the crowd things moved along and I was … Read more

Dem Senate Candidate – Clueless Act #2

First we have a photo of her dancing on a Veterans’ Memorial, now she’s placed a sign in a location that violates NH RSA 664:17, regulating the placement of political advertising – creating a serious traffic hazard (police report filed). “State-owned rights-of-way – political advertising is allowed as long as the advertising does not obstruct the … Read more
