Data Point: Poll – Trump vs Democrat Prez Wannabees

February 20, 2020February 20, 2020 Skip

This was done yesterday morning; wonder what it would be if taken now?

Thoughts on the Democrat bat-wielding, shiv-shoving, face-slapping slugfest Debate. HAPPY TIMES!

February 20, 2020 Skip

30 seconds into it, I was already crying from laughter. THIS was a Democrat version of the WWE’s WrestleMania. Verbal fists were flying, back kicks were landing in nether regions – everyone finished with black&blues, scratches, and more than a few limping off the stage. As a Conservative, it was GLORIOUS! No, I didn’t watch it … Read more

“Is there a difference between reporting and perceptions of activities of Republicans and Democrats?”

February 20, 2020 Op-Ed

Is it just me, or is there a difference between reporting and perceptions of activities of Republicans and Democrats? If there is a story, a rumor, an innuendo, or a tenuous connection associated with a Republican, the worst interpretation is reported and repeated.

Another Trump- Hating Leftist and Another Guillotine…

February 20, 2020February 20, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Twitter is a hot mess but then that’s the appeal. An endless rubberneckers multi-car pile-up of thoughts, ideas, articles, pictures, video, and quite often stupid. I recently started using it again after a few years away and the freak show hasn’t changed.

The Judiciary has Grown More Powerful than America’s Founders Intended

February 12, 2025February 20, 2020 Mike Rogers

About two weeks ago U.S. District Judge Loretta Biggs of North Carolina issued an injunction. Her injunction bars the Trump administration from implementing a new policy. The policy changes how the government calculates the duration of an illegal immigrant’s unlawful presence in the country.

Democrat Bill to give Dogs More Consideration Than Newborn Babies Goes Down to Defeat

February 20, 2020 Steve MacDonald

New Hampshire Democrat Katherine ‘I hit Little Ol’ Ladies’ Rogers had a bill I called ‘No Dogs left Outside.’ It gave the state the power to fine you for leaving your dog outdoors for too long or without clean water. Regardless of breed on terms defined by them.

Notable Quote – Prof Don Boudreaux

SHOT: Matt Ridley ( The Rational Optimist) The future will feature ideas that are barely glints in engineers’ eyes right now – devices in space to harness the solar wind, say, or the rotational energy of the earth; or devices to shade the planet with mirrors placed at the Lagrange Point between the sun and the … Read more

February 19, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Bernie Sanders has a plan. Most Democrats do. To convert us to a green economy. They call it that because of all the “green” they’ll need to confiscate to make it happen. Sanders’s plan will cost 16 trillion. That means it’s more like 56 Trillion, but let’s pretend.

Reporting on the Spread of Coronavirus in China Appears Grossly in Error

February 19, 2020 Percy Blakeney

Reporting on the spread of coronavirus in China appears grossly in error. The reporting fails the commonsense check. Think about the reaction of the Chinese government. They quarantined the city of Wuhan, population about 11 million. Do you do that for the flu alone?

February 19, 2020 Skip

As many of you, our loyal readers, know, I have been an Independent for a number of years now. Ever since NH GOP elected politicians decided that expanding the cost of Government, the intrusiveness of Government, the size of Government, and going along with Obama’s Obamacare in the form of Medicaid Expansion, was a bridge way, WAY too far for me to go.

Democrats Impeached Trump for Working to Help People

February 19, 2020 Don

People’s thoughts about the hypothetical situation described by Hunter Taylor (2/8/20, Laconia Daily Sun) aren’t relevant to the Trump impeachment. No evidence, as opposed to speculation and unsubstantiated allegations, indicates that Trump demanded, or that Ukraine performed the Democrat alleged preconditions before aid delivery.

February 19, 2020February 19, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Remember when the idea of having teachers and administrators armed and carrying concealed on campus was too scary to consider? As scary as unarmed teachers leading active shooter drills? Unions, Teachers, parents, and students all agree the drills are bad.

Socialism Inevitably Leads to Absolute Rule by Elites

February 19, 2020February 19, 2020 Steve Earle

Can anyone be more self-deluded than those who refuse to learn from history? Even when facts are right before them, they insist on denying them. Consider ANTIFA, supposedly against fascism, yet they employ the exact tactics of the Nazi SA (Brown Shirts) did in Germany.
