July 25, 2019 Op-Ed

John Ratcliffe Questions Mueller

July 25, 2019

With regard to obstruction of justice, the Mueller report states: “Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, we are unable to reach that judgment. Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him…” What was your job? Rep. John Ratcliffe, R of Texas, … Read more

Impeachment is Dead. Obstruction is Dead. But Collusion – By Democrats – Has New Life

July 25, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The Democrats wanted Mueller to testify. He showed up. But, we can’t say much more about his ‘testimony’ than that he had nothing to do with the investigation or the report. He was the front-man for a partisan Clinton witch hunt run by Obama Democrats.

O’Brien 2020: MicroInterview with Ken Eyring

July 24, 2019 Skip

Other then the MicroInterview with Di Lothrup, all of the MicroInterviews I did were done after the rally had completed. Usually I try to ask just one or two questions (er, remember: micro) from all. It is interesting to listen to those willing to talk; invariably they have different answers to the same questions. I … Read more

O’Brien 2020: NH State Reps Dan McGuire and Mary Griffin

July 24, 2019 Skip

NH Democrat Party Chair Ray Buckley has already characterized Bill O’Brien as a “far-right extremist“, making the inference that any one that would or is supporting O’Brien’s run for US Senator is also an extremist. Then I have a question for him – why, then, are some of the more moderates in the NH GOP … Read more

In 2015 Rashida Tlaib Tweeted “Deport This A**hole” (Meaning Trump)

July 24, 2019 Steve MacDonald

It’s almost as if someone in the Trump orbit is feeding the President Social Media intel as a setup. He tweets or says something that triggers the Left. The media loses its mind. And then, as if by magic, we find that the people making all the noise said the same thing just a few months or years ago.

July 24, 2019 Skip

For time purposes, I’ve chopped up the Rally into a number of different clips (Internet attention spans, dontcha know) – few people are going to watch an hour long event on YouTube (or so I’ve been told over and over since doing this).

July 24, 2019July 24, 2019 Jim Kofalt

At Tuesday’s rally for Bill O’Brien, the crowd broke into a chant: “Send her home. Send her home…” The “her” in this case referred to US Senator Jeanne Shaheen (she/her/hers).

Pushing Families Out of Public Schools

July 24, 2019

Increasingly public schools are pushing families out of their children’s education. This will only backfire on them. In early July, the new Bedford High School principal said he wants to amend school policies to restrict parental involvement in their children’s education.
