Trusting Models Too Much…

(IBD) Trusting the models too much is not the only gaping hole in the climate alarmists’ claims. Their bigger problem is that they rely on models that have been consistently wrong. The heat that the models have predicted for decades has simply not arrived. And, as the Daily Caller pointed out last week, the federal … Read more

The ‘D’ in Dick is for Democrat

Only you can keep RINOs out of Concord
Only you can keep RINOs out of Concord

Thanks again to Spec Bowers for investing the energy to make this sort of information available to voters and activists. This time around he has exposed Dick Hinch, who has been a ‘Republican’ House Rep from Merrimack for as long as I can remember. He’s currently Jaspers stooge majority leader–that’s supposed to be “Republican majority leader”–but he’s voting like he’s planning to change parties and he wants to make a good impression.

Virginia is for ….Felons?

The state of Virgina may be poised to begin a foot-race with states like Illinois and Massachusetts. The prize? Successive instances of powerful elected officials being indicted or convicted of fraud or corruption. Former VA Gov. Bob McDonnell was convicted on 11 counts of corruption. Terry McAuliffe, the current Gov., is now under investigation for illegal campaign … Read more

You Want Socialism? Be Prepared to Pay $170.00 for a Hamburger (If you can find one)

VENEZUELA REFERENDUMThe oil-rich nation of Venezuela embraced Chavez, a populist, socialist. In return, he gave them socialism. Socialism gave them the only thing it can, shortages, poverty, desperation, and eventually violence.

Coca-Cola has had to stop operations because it cannot get sugar even though neighboring Brazil is the single largest producer of sugar in the world. Doctors cannot care for the sick and injured even though the left has probably praised Venezuela’s bold and innovative advances in care.

But there is nothing bold or innovative about socialism.

Documentary: Clinton Cash – Set for Release… Right Before the Democrat Party Convention

https://youtu.be/EVvZ59Se0WA

(NY Post) In the new documentary “Clinton Cash,” it becomes all too clear how the former first couple went from rags to filthy rich — with the emphasis on filthy.

As the movie shows, the Clintons are political Teflon dons compared with another Beltway power couple, former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and his wife, Maureen.

The McDonnells were convicted of accepting more than $150,000 in gifts from a businessman while the governor was in office. Meanwhile, the Clintons raked in 700 times that amount — $105 million — under the pretext of speaking fees while Hillary was in public office.

Yet while the McDonnells face time in the Big House, the Clintons are once again aiming for the White House.

Another Hillary Film, Hillary’s America, is also due out July 15th, and set for wide release on July 22.
