“Is Fascism Right or Left?”

June 27, 2019 Skip

Yesterday I put up a “different” Notable Quote listing a few quotes by Benito Mussolini – Il Duce of Italy back in the 1930 and 1940s who aligned himself with Adolph Hitler during WWII as part of the Axis Powers. I did it because I wanted to show that Fascism is STATE oriented like the … Read more

One Year Anniversary of Janus vs AFSCME – Supreme Court: “No, unions not entitled to your money”

June 27, 2019 Skip

I was in Manchester yesterday morning for a meeting at the Americans for Prosperity/NH office. During the meeting, it came out that the one year anniversary was happening and that if anyone had anything to say, well, we’d be happy to video it. Not being used to being in front of the camera, and having … Read more

“What kind of education do people at Google have that they think religious Jews are Nazis?”

June 27, 2019June 27, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Did you know that Google thinks Jews are Nazis? Well, some Jews. Yesterday, The Hill shared some video of Texas Republican Dan Crenshaw in which he gets this curious “notion” – from internal Google emails – on the record.

Tales from the BudComm – Righting a Wrong on Food Truck Licensure

July 10, 2023June 27, 2019 Skip

“The people who pay taxes here.”

Or better, Tales from the Selectmen, as last night was a Public Hearing about Chapter 27, “An ordinance regulating outdoor vendors and transient sales,” which covers licensing/permitting fees for food trucks working in Gilford. I originally wrote:

‘Not Our Job to Allocate Political Power’ – SCOTUS Won’t Intervene in Gerrymandering

June 27, 2019 Steve MacDonald

US Courts mess with political power daily, so this is probably little more than a hiccup. But the US Supreme court just said it wouldn’t interfere in State level issues with gerrymandered districts. At least for today, this is not their job.

What We Got From the Democrat Debate Last Night…

What did we get from the Democrat debate last night?

“Gordon MacDonald For State Supreme Court” Gets ‘Kiss of Death’ From Jennifer Horn

June 28, 2019June 27, 2019 Steve MacDonald

It may be hard to remember, but nine years ago Jennifer Horn was the Tea Party candidate for Congress. But much the same way the government warped the once upon a time hero John McCain, Horn abandoned those ideas and the people to serve the promises of political power.

CNN Almost Commits an Act of Journalism on Border Crisis™ (We’ll Fill in The Blanks)

June 27, 2019 Steve MacDonald

From the “just because we know it will come up” category: division of lefties parroting vapid party talking points. The “border crisis™.” CNN’s trying to appear fair and balanced.

Is Google’s Section 230 Immunity at Risk as Execs Hide After Veritas Sting?

June 27, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Companies like Facebook and Google avoid prosecution for the content they traffic by claiming that they are carriers, not publishers. It protects them from copyright, libel, and slander suits for the things shared. Section 230 is their shield, but it could become a club used against them.

Update on ‘We Build The Wall’ – Private Effort to Improve Security on America’s Southern Border

June 26, 2019 Steve MacDonald

In late May we reported on the Steve Bannon backed Group ‘We Build the Wall.’ Using private money on private land they secured a mile of our southern border complete with a road and electronic security. In this update, we learn about why they did the work where they did and the changes that have … Read more

“Ethics committee to move forward in investigation against House majority leader” – Doug Ley

June 26, 2019June 26, 2019 Skip

That’s the title over at the Keene Sentinel about NH House Majority Leader and President of the American Federation of Teachers here in NH, Douglas Ley. We’ve written about him before (here, here, here, and here). Steve wrote this: A formal ethics complaint has been filed against NH House Democrat majority leader Dough Ley. As noted … Read more

Notable Quote – Benito Mussolini (and how it applies to the Presidential Campaigning on the Left?)

June 26, 2019June 26, 2019 Skip

A little bit different Notable Quote here concerning some quotes from the 20th Century Italian dictator, Benito Mussolini. Why? Too often, those on the Left say that Fascism is a creature of the Right and this pull quote from the post may seem to confirm that quaint notion: Writes Christopher Hibbert in Mussolini: The Rise … Read more

Abortion funding comes to NH State House

Abortion Funding in State Budget: Reason Enough to Reject HB 2

June 26, 2019June 26, 2019 Ellen Kolb

The budget to be voted on by the New Hampshire House and Senate on Thursday, June 27, specifically HB 2, would coerce every New Hampshire taxpayer into paying for abortions directly. Any claim to the contrary comes from people who either haven’t read HB 2 or are deliberately lying about it. Two people have forwarded … Read more

After Ranting About ‘Conditions’ At the Border These Four Drama-Dems Vote Against Funding to “Fix” Them

June 26, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Did you hear the one about President Donald Trump? No, not the fact that he’s done more for Black Americans in two years than Obama did in eight. I mean his alleged mistreatment of the illegal aliens the Democrats summoned with pied piper welfare promises.

Brookline Democrat Complains About Granite Grok Sharing Closed Facebook Group Content

June 26, 2019June 26, 2019 Steve MacDonald

We get content from all over for which we are grateful. And when Brookline NH Democrat Committee Chair Robert Rushton’s ‘solution’ to the problem boys winning girl’s sporting events hit my inbox, I had to share it. And now someone wants to know who told me?

Do All Democrats Want a Complete Ban on E-Cigarettes and Vaping?

October 21, 2019June 26, 2019 Steve MacDonald

New Hampshire Democrats introduced a tax on vaping products this session. For the children. They don’t want anyone getting addicted to nicotine (which does not cause cancer) because they might switch to cigarettes (which do). The logical conclusion of this is the total ban implemented in San Francisco.

The New Hampshire Democrat’s Budget Includes a Retroactive Tax Hike

June 26, 2019 Steve MacDonald

This won’t surprise too many people, but Democrats are lying about their budget. The party line is that they froze business taxes and removed future tax cuts. Not true. The Democrat Budget raises taxes for 2019.

Are Left-Wing Genderless Bathroom Policies Eroding LGBTQ Support Among Young Women?

June 26, 2019June 26, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The LGBTQ movement is losing support from 18-34-year-olds. A new Harris poll shows a drop from 53% in 2017 to 45% in 2018. The major drivers? Young women. Yes, Left-wing open-bathroom and locker policy may be eroding LGBTQ support among young people.

DISQUS Doodlings: Not understanding Freedom and guns

June 25, 2019 Skip

Someone was QUITE confused over at TH, still at the “Right wing populists want to kill us all” post. More on that part later on but I had to bring this up about guns. It’s a topic that comes up rarely (much to my surprise) but the opinions are what one would think at an … Read more

Choice Versus Force

June 26, 2019June 25, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Herbert Spencer describes the difference in “political parties” circa 1850 in a manner wholly appropriate to our circumstances today. Exactly, in fact. On the one side, compulsory cooperation and on the other, voluntary association.
