Has Bedford High’s New Principal Crossed a Red Line?

July 19, 2019July 18, 2019 Skip

Perhaps, maybe, for a good reason, but Bob Jozokos certainly sounds like he’s crossing a line: who is the employee and who is the employer? Who gets to make the decisions? It just seems yet another example of how the Educational-Industrial complex keeps letting the mask slip just that much further – that the kids … Read more

July 18, 2019July 18, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Perhaps you’ve heard about it. New Hampshire considering tighter drinking water standards for PFOA and PFAS. I may have mentioned it. Well, it’s a done deal. A Joint legislative committee has approved the ridiculously low and costly standards.

July 18, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The US House just passed a bill to hike the Federal Minimum wage to $15.00 per hour. A move that the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) says would cost the US at least 1.3 million jobs if it became law.

I think I would agree!

Ayanna Pressley Cries Racism at Trump – But That’s How She Won the Seat in Congress.

July 18, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Ayanna Pressley is beating the left’s racism horse to death. Trump is racist, really? Racism is how she ran her primary campaign against Democrat Mike Capuano. He was white. Not the right color in her district.

HB696 – Governor Sununu, don’t veto this Elder care bill (it’s no longer an anti-gun bill). Part 2

July 18, 2019 Skip

“What I find truly disheartening is that the NH GOP condones officers threatening sitting Republican senators” Oh Gosh! In part, I find myself having to defend NH State Senator Jeb Bradley??? The discussions on HB696 are raging all over the NH political blogosphere and it is my understanding that this bill has now been “enrolled” … Read more

We have Arrived at the End of the Modern Warming Period

August 22, 2019July 18, 2019 Steve MacDonald

There are more links to actual research on energy, the sun, and earth’s climate on our pages than in any media outlet in the state. We are committed (not “should be” but are) to protecting America from this scam and those who perpetrate it.

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday Will Be Hot. But July,1911 Was Hotter for Longer

July 18, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The Promise of a heatwave looms for the weekend in New Hampshire. Temperatures in the nineties (maybe even higher). Someone, at least indirectly, will blame you (Climate Change™). But in 1911, before socialist and political scientists concocted that fraud, it was hotter for longer.

Trump’s America – “One Squad Under God”

Ebola. Is Back. And There’s Gonna Be Trouble…(Hey, la-di-la, Ebola is back!)

July 17, 2019 Steve MacDonald

I do not watch TV news, so excuse me if this story has broken somewhere in the main-stream media universe and I missed it. The Congo (the Democratic Republic of, that is) has been battling an Ebola outbreak for some time. And now the Cindy-Lou’s at WHO, the World Health Organization, are getting skittish.

Notable Quote -Dr. Leana Wen

I came to planned parenthood to run a national healthcare organization… the new board has determined that the priority of Planned Parenthood moving forward is to double down on abortion rights advocacy. -Dr. Leana Wen (former CEO, Planned Parenthood) So, there can be no hemming or hawing by the Baby Killers and its supporters.

Trump Republican Victory Strategy – Play Unedited Clips of Democrats Talking

October 17, 2024July 17, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Whenever anyone suggests editing, deleting, or blocking Leftist commenters, I stand up for them. No one advocates for liberty and free markets like an unhinged mouthy Leftist. And it appears the RNC agrees. Their latest Ad takes Democrats at their word or lack of them.

Blogline of the Day: Shampoo and directions??

July 17, 2019July 17, 2019 Skip

Senator John Kennedy (R- LA) concerning the Squad (AOC, Tlaib, Omar, and Pressley):”…they are the reason that there are directions on a shampoo bottle.” Heh! Bless their hearts! Here’s the whole quote and the video afterward: I don’t think President Trump is a racist. I don’t think his original tweet was racist. I think it … Read more

To Eat or Turn On the Lights, Heat, Charge the Car?

July 17, 2019

Doesn’t wind power seem to be the path to a carbon-free energy future? It’s clean and abundant. Larger turbines have enhanced wind’s power-generating capacity. It’s all good right? Well maybe not so much. Wind energy has grown thanks largely to billions of dollars of production tax credits. That’s a tax , regulatory, and affordability issue. … Read more

American Federal Character

July 17, 2019

Americans should contemplate the under appreciated federal aspect of independence. We obsess about the size and strength of the national government. But it was our ancestors’ desire to govern themselves. They contemplated doing it in legislative bodies much closer than the British Parliament. That brought about the Declaration of Independence. How we got here… Have we … Read more

HB696 – Governor Sununu, don’t veto this Elder care bill (it’s no longer an anti-gun bill). Part 1

July 17, 2019 Skip

This also could have been labeled a “Facebook Doodlings” post because a lot of what is about to be put in here comes directly from a post in the Republican Liberty Caucus of NH group. There is a lot of controversy over this bill where in its original form, more references were made about firearm … Read more
