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
Nashua 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.

Terry Wolf Says She’s a ‘conservative’ But Her Record Says She’s Something Else
by Dan Hynes – Republican Candidate NN State Senate Dist. 9
My Republican opponent in the Nh State Senate Dist. 9 primary says she is “conservative” who supports limited government and that she is proud of her commitment to cutting taxes, protecting our rights, and keeping New Hampshire free.”

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…”
Cultural 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:

Steve Negron Wins Second Congressional District Debate
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.
Vermont Democrat Walks Away. Why?
by Jim Fitzgerald, Candidate for St. Albans State Representative Franklin 3-1
As a proud Democrat, I was elected to represent St. Albans in the Vermont state legislature for six years, and after that I served as mayor of St. Albans for four years. This year I am running for the legislature again… but as a Republican.
Yes, a Vermont Republican.

Susan Olsen, Bob Clegg, Rick Olson – Negron is Gun Owner’s Choice in CD – 2
by Susan Olsen, Bob Clegg, and Rick Olson
Not since US Representative Dick Swett of the “Swett Lies” fame has the Second Amendment Constitutionalists felt so betrayed by the actions of a CD 2 Member of Congress. We are very disappointed in Lobbyist-turned-Politician Ann Mclane Kuster, and we need a change. ln a field full of Republican candidates, there is only one clear choice to represent us in the second Congressional District, one clear choice who will defend our 2nd Amendment right. Steve Negron has proven himself to be our number one advocate, a real defender of the entire Bill of Rights.
Steve has a proven track record in the State Legislature voting citizens’ rights every time. He was vital in passing SB12, otherwise known as, Constitutional Carry. The success of this bill had been a long time coming and Steve was instrumental in getting the votes across the finish line.

ESPN’s New Policy
By Jim Johnson
NFL Owners have relinquished their power to the players. Now, executives at sports television network ESPN have interceded to appease multi-million-dollar players by not airing the playing of the National Anthem before NFL Monday Night Football games.
