The irony of this is not lost on me. Think Progress posted a reference to our GrokTALK! interview with NH House Rep JR Hoell, regarding Scott Brown and how Senator Brown’s position on guns may be great for Massachusetts but it is non-starter in the Granite State. More than a few media outlets take their … Read more
Has Democrat Peter Sullivan apologized to Marilinda Garcia yet? Have the women (and men) in the New Hampshire Democrat party denounced Peter Sullivan yet for his sexist and objectifying remarks?
I don’t think they have. And that is ironic considering this from the national Democrat Mother-ship…
Tell Republicans: Stop enabling Rhetoric that condones Sexual harassment.
They’ve got a page and some words, and you can sign up and they’ll data collect you, ask for money, spam you…and wait- Words.
I can work with words. Here are the DNC’s words with a few of my edits… approaching something closer to reality.
Are rules in the ACA that punish older married couples designed to drive them to divorce so that they end up on Medicaid, so that the government can then fleece their estates after death? It is starting to look that way.
Medicaid (the government/States) can charge the estate of a deceased Medicaid recipient to recover costs of care incurred prior to death before survivors may then distribute any remaining property or savings. But most current recipients do not have much in the way of property for the state to confiscate. If you are erecting a massive Health Care edifice, you’re going to need more cash to pay for it. So what do you do?
You write rules into your partisan legislation that drive people into a program that then creates revenue streams without people necessarily realizing it. That program? Medicaid Expansion.
Last week NH AG Joe Foster let former New London police chief off the hook for dropping the charges if young women he was going to arrest would pose nude for him. There are only four cases we know of, though I think we can guess that there were quite a few more, something that could come up in the recently announced civil trial…
The original complainant against Seastrand, Colby Sawyer College student Janelle Westfall, will file a civil suit against him this week, according to her lawyer, Richard J. Lehmann of Concord.
The people driving the gay marriage movement have, for years, been very honest about their intentions. End marriage as an institution. Demanding marriage rights for homosexual couples was always just a step toward that greater goal.
Sorry gay couples who thought “they” really cared about your feelings or believed you had a right to marriage. They want to destroy the rite altogether. They just used you to advance their agenda.
And now, much sooner than I expected, the next shoe has already dropped in the war on marriage. A Federal judge in Utah just struck down the state’s polygamy law as unconstitutional, basing his decision on…(drum-roll) the justification for same sex marriage.

A Facebook page popped up, either late yesterday or last night, to “Draft Andrew Hemingway” to run for Governor of New Hampshire. George Lambert, who had to drop out for health reasons (we talk about it briefly here-begining of the show) brought up Bill O’Brien’s name when speaking with the press about his decision. Andrew’s … Read more
Show me the Money!? Here it is. DC to real world “Income inequality” since Democrats took control of Congress in 2006; and then add Obama and Boom! (and all during the worst recession in US history? Isn’t that what the Democrats called it?) No recession in DC. It’s good times! At least now you know…they … Read more
One of the things that abortion supporters (of every pro-abortion political persuasion) refuse to accept or acknowledge is that the only reason they are even here to support abortion today is because their mom didn’t choose to end their life in the womb when they had the choice. Make all the excuses you want, that … Read more
Forbes …Thursday, December 12 will stand as one of the most lawless acts yet committed by this administration. The White House—having canceled Americans’ old health plans, and having botched the system for enrolling people in new ones—knows that millions of Americans will enter the new year without health coverage. So instead of actually fixing the problem, … Read more
Karen Testerman joined us last week to discuss her primary race to challenge Democrat Jeanne Shaheen for that New Hampshire US Senate seat. We touch on her candidacy, ObamaCare, immigration, the minimum wage, employment, and a lot more. Note: Sorry for not posting this up by itself sooner. It should have gone up last Thursday. … Read more
Terry Loewen, self-proclaimed Muslim Jihadist who called Osama bin Laden a brother, tried to use his employment at an Airport to cause maximum death and carnage in the name of Allah.
I find it interesting that this is not getting a lot of attention. A Google search produced only one first page results for any of the typcial left wing rah-rah media or their Democrat party progressive feeding tubes, none of whom are milking this.
The majority of hits are for local Kansas media, but something called NBC investigations has a very unbiased report of the event 8 links from the top of page one.
Can you feel the ‘unsettling dynamics’ at work? Nobel Laureate Economist Milton Friedman explores the unsettling dynamics set into motion when government imposes itself into the health care system. (1978)
This week our guests are NH Republican House Rep and candidate for the New Hampshire second Congressional district, Marilinda Garcia; former NH House Rep and Manchester Republican Committee chair, and former New England Radio talk show host Mike Ball (from “Mike and Moe in the Morning” and The Big Show”); and NH House Legislator JR Hoell joins us to talk gun rights and the ‘Brown’ RINO.
Wow, this thing just got heavier…Nope. Sorry, weighs the same after all.
Update- There was something Fishy and Gamey about the Canoe Tax reported by the Eagle Tribune. We’ve been informed that there is no such bill. (Details on the jump- below my original post.)
Original post from 12-11-2013
I’ve been watching this news filter through social media, and I read Skip’s post about it earlier, and my mind began to wonder as I read this from the Eagle
Traditionally, the agency has been self-sustaining, paying expenses almost entirely out of the fees charged for hunting, fishing and other licenses and permits.
But the number of people buying hunting and fishing licenses has been declining for a decade, reflecting a nationwide change in recreation habits. But as fewer people take up the gun and the rod, who’s going to pay for Fish and Game services, not to mention the salaries and benefits of agency employees?
If the reason for declining revenue is fewer people engaging in the activity for which Fish and Game exists why do they need more money and not less? And why do we need to do with less to pay the tax so Fish and Game, whose mandate is in decline, can have more?
Ed Naile joins us for an update on voter fraud in New Hampshire , we talk about the NH AG’s token vote fraud indictment of a Democrat and what other indictment (probably Jeb Bradley’s son) they are using that to prepare us for, new potential vote stealer Rebecca Saba (a school teacher from New Jersey) … Read more
It’s been a while since I last opined on the partisan nature of the Coffee Party (and the NH franchise in particular). But an NHCoffeeParty tweet did pass before mine eyes on this chilly December morn… and it smelled faintly of progressive rhetoric. A quick review of the tweet history proved a point that the NH Coffee Party facebook page confimred.
Everything I saw sources back to Democrat talking points. It all supports left-wing rhetoric.
The Coffee Party is still nothing more than a Progressive mouth-piece selling itself as something centrist and someone has tried to jump start this Norweigan Blue in support of the Democrat machine–just in time for the 2014 election season.
If I may make a suggestion to the NH Coffee Party people…
Gun store ad for a company that sold to and is now doing business as Impact Guns in UT. But this gets the point accross, no doubt about it. Share it with a liberal beta male. They’ll need to go home early from their job to work through their “feelings,” assuming they are actually working … Read more
New Hampshire Democrats have managed to provide back-to back national embarrassments in a matter of successive weeks. First the made for Lifetime Movie Manchester Democrat Peter Sullivan engages in a sexist stiletto-wielding Twitter assault on a woman with a Hispanic sounding name that, were he a Republican would have had CNN, MSNBC, and the Sunday shows (not to mention the poo-flinging press-monkeys in the NH Democrat state party) launching war on women broadsides about binders, contraception, and abortion while femi-nazis dressed up as vaginas wave signs outside the office of every elected Republican on the planet demanding they renounce the offending person, make them take sensitivity training, and then drive them out of office.
Then, along comes the tax challenged, camera grabbing, F-bomb dropping geography expert, Ann “where in the world is Benghazi, Libya” Kuster (D-NH).
Remember Julia. Well over at Tumblr they have the Real Life of Julia and thanks to ObamaCare… Julia’s got problems. Her insurance was cancelled. Either her premiums or deductibles (or both) are going to shoot sky high. And she can’t use her current gynecologist.
Remember when liberal feminists screamed bloody murder about not letting the govt. between you and your doctors? Good times.
