Trevor Loudon – How About a Real National Security Risk?

by The Editors

Trevor Loudon is back and he’s making time to chronicle the hypocrisy of those who claim Mr. Trump is a national security risk while they themselves are clearly colluding and have been for years.

This time around Trevor explains the threat presented by Sen. Chris Murphy. He’s got deep ties to the communist party USA and ChiCom interests. He’snot shy about it either.

Nashua’s Property Revaluation Lowers Tax Rate But Not Taxes

nashuacityhallNashua Mayor Donchess is quick to point out that the city had to do its recent property revaluation. It’s state law. And that’s true.

He was not ‘unhappy’ to report that as a result, the tax rate will go down. But that’s not good news because the dance is between the tax base and the budget. Juggling numbers don’t change the actual problem. Yes, some folks will see their tax bill decline slightly but most will see it rise. Not because of a forced revaluation but because no effort is made to cut spending.

Was This Kavanaugh Hearing Protester Paid to “Play?”

This is making its way around so we figured we’d ask our readers for their thoughts.

At the Senate hearing for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, this woman screamed about stopping Kavanaugh from being approved. Made a scene. You know the drill.

Make sure the cameras catch it so the media can milk its pre-defined narratives for the Democrats to work. Complete with an actual payoff?

“Medicare for All” – Soviet style healthcare

“…Dems are forgetting to tell you that private insurance will be banned under their scheme” 

by Betsy McCaughey

President Barack Obama made a stunning policy shift Friday, endorsing Medicare for All — a single-payer health system for the nation. Most Democrats contending for the 2020 presidential nomination and many Dems vying for congressional seats this fall are backing it, too. Beware: They’re pulling a bait-and-switch. The phrase Medicare for All sounds as American as apple pie. A new Reuters poll shows 70 percent of Americans respond to it favorably.

Yet the public isn’t getting the truth about what it means.

Attention New Hampshire State Reps: Your Voting Record Matters

by James Kofalt

Too many State Reps get away with positioning themselves one way and then voting an entirely different way. On the “R” side of the fence, we always seem to have a handful of Republicans who vote with the Democrat platform more often than they vote with the GOP. CarolynGargasz (R, Hollis) has straddled that line over the years, occasionally falling below a 50% rating from the House Republican Alliance (HRA), and sometimes venturing as high as the mid-fifties.

Judging from yesterday’s results, Hollis GOP voters have finally had enough. After 18 years as State Rep, Gargasz placed a distant fourth in a four-way primary.

This didn’t happen by accident, and it didn’t happen without some effort.

Worried in Webster

BY TERRY ELLEN COX

‘”…progressive” are [sic] those who focus on using government power to make large institutions play by a set of rules…”

Terry CoxCultural unease has grown more and more virulent since the 1990’s if not before. Issues are they are clear to all. The DNC is waxing full of people who are hateful, racist, accusatory and emotionally out of control. They assault any GOP, or perceived GOP, for any reason, stalking them and disrupting them at restaurants eating with their families. They spit, they vandalize, they throw things at rallies, they target even spouses and children. And yet they cannot articulate any solutions to what they are fighting about or engage in civil debate.

Ten out of the 11 Democratic candidates for Governor of NH said they were progressives. I’m told the fish rots from the head down so I am taking a wild guess that more NH Democrats will turn this way. When they are left unchecked it will signal the death of our republic, our culture and our way of life. Goodbye Freedom.

I ran across this 2005 article which well explains the basic political difference between a progressive Democrat and a liberal Democrat:

Nashua, NH – Steve Negron, a U.S. Air Force veteran and small business owner, declared victory after tonight’s 2nd Congressional District debate and issued the following statement:

“The contrast between the vision I put forth this evening and the failed record of Congresswoman Ann Kuster couldn’t be clearer. Where she has worked to grow government and increase taxes, I have fought to cut them. It is vital that we Republicans nominate a conservative who can boldly articulate our message if we are going to defeat her.
