We talk transparency, whether the bill would do what proponents claim (it wont), who benefits most (elected officials, political parties, lobbyists), and who gets hurt (the grassroots, small business owners, and regular, unsuspecting citizens). … Read more
Voter ID is popular with everyone except the left-wing fringe.
But the hard left took over the Democrat party and now runs things. One of the things they run is a narrative machine which insists that expecting people to show ID to vote (that photo-thingy they demand you use to access everything in life including the all-you-can-eat buffet of government services they offer) is a racist, bigoted, ageist, act of vote suppression.
Problem?
No one who actually lives here agrees with them. America does not agree with them, nor have they ever. And this recent snapshot of public opinion in New Hampshire just reinforces how extremist they are. (75% of NH says Yes! and even 58% of Democrats want Photo ID to vote in NH — see the big chart below.)
In segment two Kevin Bloom joins us to talk about SB 120, the latest effort by NH’s ruling class to silence the peasants by making anonymous speech illegal.
“There is no such thing as a 50 percent divorce rate. It’s never been close,” she told The Blaze. “Right now … 72 percent of people are still married to their first spouse — that’s Census Bureau data.” And of the 28 percent who are no longer married to their first spouse, Feldhahn said that … Read more

Course Description Many countries have nuclear weapons, and many more want them. Only one, though, has its neighbors and the world terrified. That country is Iran. Why is everyone so concerned? Because the Islamic theocracy has repeatedly threatened to destroy Israel, sponsors global terrorism, and would leverage the deterrence effect of a nuclear weapon to … Read more
There’s a great piece over at TownHall by Steve Deace (c/o Scott McGrath who emailed it to us) about why the GOP is so divided. Here’s a taste… To them leadership isn’t about setting an example of boldness and courage in advancing our principles; it’s about getting the people and constituencies you presume to be … Read more
From Steven Goddard at Real Science. Obama can’t build a website, go bowling, balance a budget, tell the truth, or get along with other human beings – but he thinks he can control the weather 100 years from now.
Hope (and change) were the promise of the Obama Presidency. We’ll change things until you have no hope. That’s what happened. And that is the plan going ‘Forward.’
Democrats all across the nation are embracing 1.9% total growth in 2013 and 0.1% in the first quarter of 2014. And they should. This is what they wanted. This is what their polices produced.
They’ve been spending other people’s money at historic rates, cranking out 4 trillion dollars a year on the government, adding almost 8 trillion more to the national debt. And all th Keynesian economic stimulation has done what it always does–depress the economy.

The NH HB1360 ban, also known as the “none of us are competent enough do things in our vehicle bill,”is heading to Governor Nanny Hassan’s desk. It will very likely become law, after which, based on the insanity of the language in this bill, no driver under 18 will be permitted to turn a radio on or off, or change the station, without risk of being pulled over and receive a fine, unless they first park, stop and turn off the vehicle. (It could be interpreted that way.)
IV. No person less than 18 years of age shall use a cellular or mobile telephone or other mobile electronic device, whether hands-free or not, while driving a motor vehicle in motion or temporarily stopped in traffic upon any way, except to report an emergency to the enhanced 911 system or any public safety agency. A person violating this paragraph shall be subject to the fines in paragraph III and license suspension or revocation under RSA 263:14, III.
While a number of devices are mentioned, and hand-held is specified, mobile is not. But everything in a car is mobile. There are also a number of electronic devices, none of them hands free, including the ignition system, lights, and the entertainment system. (Isn’t language fun?!)
It would be interesting to see how that might (could, will) be interpreted under any given set of circumstances by officers who might be looking for an excuse to pull over a kid in their car.
While there are allowances for “adults’ with regard to electronic devices none of them apply to drivers under 18.
