You’d be right to wonder what the differences are between the kidnapping and execution of James Foley and the kidnapping and release of Peter Theo Curtis.
Curtis is a reporter from Boston, whose recent release was reported in Germany as having been in exchange for something. Victory Girls has the report as well as a list of questions.
Who exactly was holding Curtis?
Are they connected to ISIS?
Was it a negotiation, as reported by die Welt am Sonntag, or a rescue?
If it was a negotiation, what did the kidnappers receive in return?
Nancy Stiles has another mailer out, in which she is sold as a leader who is tough on Liberal Democrats. (I almost spit my coffee out I laughed so hard.)
The mailer obviously says things Republicans would like to hear from or about a candidate but all of that pales next to the one thing about Nancy Stiles they must understand.
Nancy Stiles unwavering commitment to the expansion is the reason why we got saddled with a Medicaid deal in New Hampshire.
So if they just named their roving band of armed citizens after some left wing scion….”Welcome to the Barack-ack-ack-ack-ack, automatic weapons fan club,” it’s no big deal? Great!

According to Democrat Alaska Senator Mark Begich’s pay equality rhetoric women in Alaska only make 0.76 cents for every dollar a man makes. According to recent reports, Mark Begich only pays his female staffers 0.71 cents for every dollar he pays his male staffers. The average female salary in Begich’s office is a staggering $23,504 less … Read more
By the time Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi’s car pulled up to the Steel & Rye restaurant in the picturesque New England town of Milton just outside Boston, one of them ran up to her car and screamed, “We’re gonna bash that pretty face in, you fu**ing whore!”
…
Angry that the show had not signed a Teamsters contract and that the production hired local PA’s to drive cast and crew vehicles, the dozen or so picketers from Boston’s Teamsters Local 25 kept at it for hours, raining down racist, sexist and homophobic threats and slurs as staffers came to and left the set that summer day…
The terrorists wanted $132 Million dollars and (most likley) more Gitmo detainees. On November 26, 2013, the Foley family was told by IS militants demanded $132 million and the release of unspecified prisoners in American captivity in exchange for James Foley, the Global Post revealed. That negotiation proved unsuccessful, and there was no communication between … Read more
The Union leader is reporting a complaint filed against the Hemingway campaign. Some names were omitted on their campaign finance report and a local attorney has asked the AG to investigate.
The complaint has been filed by Sheridan T. Brown, a local “government and public affairs” attorney whose full time occupation prior to 2010 (for the better part of a decade) was working for John E. Sununu. Since that time he has worked proudly to “[intercede] on behalf of entities and individuals to resolve problems with government agencies, [and] has helped secure millions of dollars in funding for community projects.”
Sounds to me like he has brokered his experience in big government and his connections to the Sununu’s and their backers, to tap into the taxpayer funded ATM machine. Lobbyist? He’s also got a soft spot for green projects.
But I digress. These are insignificant matters compared to the test of character we’ve been handed by this Sununu flunky doing his impression of Democrat Kathy Sullivan.
Circumstances made doing the show this week difficult so we decided to take the week off. Next week, we will be back with Aaron Day, Maureen Mooney, and Dan Dwyer
Citizens for A Strong New Hampshire got an answer from the Internal Revenue Service on a Freedom of Information Request they made. Sorry, we can’t comply with the law. If you don’t want to wait (indefinitely?), you can just sue us.
August 21, 2014 (Manchester, NH) – On July 23rd, the Internal Revenue Service responded to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request made by Citizens for a Strong New Hampshire on June 24, 2014. The request was issued based on the IRS’s supposed lost emails on their irrevocably damaged computers.
In the letter, the IRS writes that they will not be able comply with our request in the ‘20 business-day period’ as required by law. Also, they extend the response period for an additional 10 days, as allowed by statute. What’s even worse, the letter continues stating the need for even more time and illegally extends that period until October 23, 2014. It then goes on to inform us that we can file suit after August 6, 2014.
Which is no big deal unless you don’t happen to have your own money printing machine in the basement and the power to destroy anyone who dares challenge you….
I’ve seen enough evidence to prove Walt Havensein meets the technical qualification for NH Residency. He certainly has more right to vote here than non-resident Democrat staffers, roving bands of Obama Courtiers, or progressive party camp followers. Walt’s problem is much deeper than that, or this…
In 2007, Havenstein signed a pair of affidavits pledging that his primary residence at the time was in Maryland, and for four years, he received tax credits known as the homestead exemption.
As the New Hampshire primary election draws ever closer, the level of desperation in the Lambert camp is escalating wildly. Internal polling data from his primary rival, Marilinda Garcia, has Lambert down by 23 points, as reported by WMUR.
The poll, conducted by Magellan Strategies, surveyed 800 likely voters in the upcoming primary using personal interviewer calls to landlines only. Notably, with the exclusion of cellular phones, it is quite possible that younger voters were under sampled. This is a bloc of voters who appear more supportive of Garcia, and that could actually increase the margin by which Lambert trails the 31 year-old, four-term state representative from Salem.
The left is always the first to show up at anti-globalization, anti-government, protests of any kind. The opportunity to break ‘things’ is one they find difficult to resist. I would not be surprised to find that unions or some other source of left-wing money (or actual protesters) was involved in filling up the street with … Read more

Donors to the Senate Republican Majority PAC in New Hampshire might want to ask if campaign mailers supporting one Republican over another in a Primary is the best use of their money?
The Senate Republican Majority PAC (in NH) just spent $6939.25 to produce two mailers. One mailer for Dave Boutin, and one for Nancy Stiles, to defend their State Senate seats from….Republican primary opponents.
That’s $7000.00 dollars they no longer have to help defeat Democrats in the general election.
