Steve MacDonald Speaking of snowflakes, the actual ones, WMUR is reporting that we could see up to 2-5 inches of them around the southern and eastern parts of the Granite State tomorrow. Points farther north could get a dusting to 2 inches, making it the first statewide snowfall this season and the most significant accumulation south of the … Read more
Recent research has uncovered another one of those ‘water is wet’ discoveries.
A new survey by insurance firm Aviva found that 72 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds believe the term “snowflake” is unfairly applied to millennials. 74 percent of respondents took it a step farther, arguing that they believe the use of the label could have a negative effect on young people’s mental health.
This ranks up there with researchers discovering that oral sex can lead to intercourse among teenagers.
The bears are not cooperating. Data collected between 2007 and 2015 reveal that polar bear numbers have not declined as predicted and no subpopulation has been extirpated. Several subpopulations expected to be at high risk of decline remained stable and five showed increases in population size. Another at-risk subpopulation was not counted but showed marked … Read more
From NHPR. Some breaking news from Minnesota tonight. Minnesota Public Radio News reports that Senator Al Franken will announce his resignation from the Senate tomorrow. His decision comes after at least 30 Senate Democrats, including leader Chuck Schumer, today called on Franken to step down. There have now been seven accusers. We’ll share the news … Read more
As promised, earlier today, Senator Franken has announced he will step down at the end of the year. Sen. Al Franken on Thursday announced he was quitting the austere upper chamber amid mounting accusations that he forcibly kissed or groped women, bowing to resignation calls from more at least 32 of his fellow Senate Democrats. … Read more
Mr. Trump took a unique position on Illegal Immigration and international borders when he became president. He let the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) enforce the existing immigration laws. And letting them off the leash Obama put them on has produced some results.
Throughout FY2017, ICE deportation officers and special agents succeeded across a broad range of initiatives and operations. These include disrupting and dismantling illegal drug trafficking networks to arresting and removing aliens, including criminals who are too often released back into our communities.
Mr. Trump also plans to move the US embassy to Jerusalem.
“It is time to officially recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel,” Mr. Trump said at the White House. “It is the right thing to do.”
He said the new U.S. embassy “will be a magnificent tribute to peace.” The president said his decision is not intended to derail any chance of peace talks.
The US House tabled a resolution to begin Impeachment proceedings against Mr. Trump. The House on Wednesday tossed aside an attempt by Rep. Al Green to bring articles of impeachment against President Trump. Many Democrats joined the Republican majority in voting, 364-58, to table the resolution from Mr. Green, Texas Democrat, after Democratic leaders said … Read more
“It is clear that Al Franken has engaged in a pattern of egregious and unacceptable behavior toward women, and he should resign. We are experiencing a sea change in our culture that is long overdue, and we must continue working to empower all women and do everything we can to prevent sexual harassment, misconduct, and assault.”
She’s not alone.
We haven’t mentioned Democrat Congresswoman Corrine Brown in a while (seven years), but it’s time to bring her back. The former Democrat congressperson and member of the Socialist Party of America is going to jail. Former Rep. Corrine Brown was sentenced to five years in prison and three years probation Monday after being found guilty of fraud earlier this year, … Read more
With any luck, Tax reform reconciliation will include the Senate’s repeal of the ObamaCare individual mandate. The mandate punishes poor people, something Barack Obama understood before he became president. The individual mandate and its associated fine is, in other words, a tax on the poor. This is why, after years of Obamacare, the number of … Read more
Fake News backfires on ABC as the Russian Collusion Trap Snaps on its first victim.
ABC News announced Saturday that Chief Investigative Correspondent Brian Ross had been suspended for four weeks without pay over a botched “exclusive” about former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
Ross’ suspension is effective immediately. ABC News spokeswoman Heather Riley would not comment on whether anyone else had been suspended in connection with the error.
Meanwhile, over at the FBI division of Mueller-Russia-Find-Something, anything, the shotty “integrity” of the Deep State tries to hide under a rock.
The US Senate has passed a tax reform package. The Washington Post’s opening paragraph is a predictable spin on the left-wing narrative. Yuge breaks for corporations, a mixed bag for everyone else.
Over at Red State, where they’ve been critical of Trump and this plan (and the Senate) for months, the tone was a bit different.
The big news for the media and their Democrat allies is that Michael Flynn lied to the FBI about Russia.
The bad news (for the left) is that it doesn’t matter. ABC News, which went yard trying to nail Flynn and Trump to the left’s Russia Collusion secular cross has issued a correction that damn near invalidates the entire collusion narrative they reported above it.

It’s no secret that Obama and Clinton hate each other. HATE. EACH. OTHER. But party and power mean a lot to the left, so they used each other to get what they wanted. More party. More power.
The Clinton’s have been, more or less, the face of the party since Bill was elected. Hillary’s loss presents an opportunity for change, and we know how much Democrats love change. And we know how much Obama loves change. And the Obama’s would like to see some change.
In a November 29th staff editorial, the Union Leader, while trying to poke New Hampshire’s All Gurl Kongressional Delegation, lent a hand and a good word to No Labels, a left-wing group pretending to be centrist.
None of the four members of New Hampshire’s Congressional delegation has yet joined the Problem Solvers Caucus. There are other ways to work across the aisle.
But on the big issues of health care and tax reform, New Hampshire’s federal officials have effectively taken their votes off the table. They seem more interested in proving how opposed they are to President Trump than accepting that Republicans should actually get something out of a political compromise.
Reality check. Democrat Congressional “help” only takes the form of making sure Republicans pass things that don’t “fix” anything or that advance Democrat priorities. And oh, by the way, that is what No Labels are all about.
Wal-Mart has removed a T-Shirt from its website offered by a third-party vendor called Teespring after the Television Digital News Association notified the retailer about the questionable message it sends. Wal-Mart admits that it violates their policies and has taken it down, but I wonder if anyone would object if there said Fox News Journalist? … Read more
The entire premise behind stricter gun laws, regardless of what they presume to accomplish, is that the law will in some way result in “better” behavior than before the limitation was passed. But we already made rape, robbery, assault, and murder illegal and (guns or not) people continue to commit these crimes. So anyone who thinks that … Read more
The left’s Sexual Harassment catharsis continues, this time claiming long-time liberal media mouthpiece, Matt Lauer. “Matt Lauer has been terminated from NBC News. On Monday night, we received a detailed complaint from a colleague about inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace by Matt Lauer. As a result, we’ve decided to terminate his employment,” according to a tweet from … Read more
