Stores in England Stop Selling Kitchen Knives Because of Escalating Knife Violence

April 20, 2023March 11, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The topic of knife-bans in England has not graced our pages for a few months. But back in April and June of last year, we pondered the problem. Kitchen knives are the weapon of choice for murder in the UK. To avoid the PR nightmare, some supermarket chains have stopped selling them.

Not So Elementary, Dear Watson – More Like Another Liberal Trope

March 11, 2019 Steve MacDonald

I’ve been a fan of the show Elementary since it started. While some were put off by the idea of Dr. Watson being a woman or Moriarty (Natalie Dormer), I was good with it. It worked for me. And I enjoy Johnny Lee Miller’s Holmes. He’s the perfect high-functioning, socially awkward, savant. And until this year I’ve only had a few occasions to be put off by the writer’s liberal tropes coming out of Sherlock Holmes’ mouth.

If You Flee New York’s High Taxes You Will Get Audited and Lose

March 11, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Remember when Gov. Cuomo said that New York couldn’t pile any more taxes on the rich because they might leave. They are going anyway. It’s causing budgetary separation anxiety. To ease the pain, any high earner that decides to pack up and move out will get a state tax audit. Guaranteed.

Today, the Women’s Defense League of NH held its Fifth Annual Gun Rally on the State House plaza in Concord NH (noon to 3pm).

Yesterday was the Women’s Defense League of NH’s Fifth Annual Gun Rally complete with a number of Conservative groups, informed speakers, a crowd that filled the State House plaza in Concord, NH – and of course, GraniteGrok! NH State Representative Judy Aron was the next speaker. A transplant from Connecticut, she spoke of the avalanche … Read more

Mark Levin: The Democrat Party Should Pay any Reparations to the Children of Slaves

June 20, 2019March 10, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The Democrat party likes to talk about paying reparations for slavery. They don’t mean it. Not the way you think. They are using blacks (again) as a way to divert wealth from the hands of people who did the work on their own.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: America is 10% Better than Garbage

March 10, 2019 Steve MacDonald

If you are a young freshman ~~Democrat~~ socialist in Congress, it’s cool to say things like where America is now is (totally, like) ten percent better than garbage. That would be the one and only Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Speaking at SXSW. Bashing Reagan and crapping on her country.

Democrat Tries To Deny ‘Obama was a Murderer’ Remarks: Releases Audio that Proves She Said it.

March 10, 2019 Steve MacDonald

In a piece for Politico, Ilhan Omar observed that the Hope and Change of Obama was a mirage. Caging kids at the border. Droning. “We don’t want anybody to get away with murder because they are polished.” Naturally, there was push back, so she denied having made such claims and released audio to prove it.

Nick Sandmann’s Lawyers – We’ll Be Suing CNN for More Than 250 Million Dollars

March 10, 2019 Steve MacDonald

If Democracy dies in darkness at the Washington Post, (for what amounts to an aggravated fake-news assault on a kid) what dies over at CNN? Well, the short answer is the truth. A long time ago. In the Covington kid’s case, it could cost them a lot more than what it might cost WashPo.

These Democrats in Concord are Numb Nuts

March 10, 2019March 10, 2019 Rick Olson

Right now, the Granite State is under siege from a barrage of gun control measures presently under consideration in the legislature. Gun control measures that are more reflective of states like Massachusetts, California, Maryland, Illinois and New York City. There is a bill for Universal Background checks (ah, but they do not call it that because they are liars). There is a seven-day waiting period bill and worst of all, a red flag law bill.

WDLNH Hold The Line Gun Rally Family Picture

WDLNH ‘Hold the Line” Fifth Annual Gun Rally – “the Family”

March 10, 2019 Skip

It has become a tradition – at the end of the gun rallies, first starting with the ones held on 2/23 (shush, the anti-Constitutionalists mostly won’t get the joke) and now under the WDLNH banner), the ending “talk” is all of the participants and attendees assembling on the State House steps for a “family” picture. … Read more

The Hypocrisy and Lies of Misogynist and Portsmouth Democrat, David Meuse

March 10, 2019 Kimberly Morin

Representative David Meuse (Portsmouth – D) is a far left-wing zealot who seems to think very highly of himself. Meuse wrote an OP-ED for Seacoastonline today that shows just how badly this man reeks of HYPOCRISY. From the OP-ED: “For members of the public, testifying for or against any bill is stressful enough. Legislators shouldn’t … Read more

Don’t hold the line. Get rid of it.

April 11, 2019March 10, 2019 Ian Underwood

Someone smart — maybe it was Epictetus, or Mark Twain — said that what matters isn’t what happens to you, but what you learn from what happens to you.

So, what’s happening to us now?

Well, we have a truckload of anti-gun bills moving towards passage by the legislature, and we’re depending on a pseudo-Republican governor to veto them, and hoping that his vetoes won’t be over-ridden.

And what should we be learning from this?

Well, in some stories about vampires, a vampire can’t come into your house unless you invite him. It turns out that the same is true about anti-gun bills. And we need to learn to stop inviting them.

Mayor Craig and the NH ACLU Agree: You Can’t Impose Buffer Zones on Public Sidewalks

March 10, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Gilles Bissonette of the New Hampshire ACLU made it clear to the City of Manchester that a proposed ordinance change might be unconstitutional. Paul Feely reports that by a 12-0 vote the board of Alderman approved a move that would “allow downtown business owners to control the use of sidewalks outside their storefronts year-round.”

New Mexico Criminalizes Private Gun Sales

March 10, 2019 Steve MacDonald

New Mexico’s governor has signed legislation making it illegal to engage in private gun sales in the state. It is meant to close one of those loop-holes Democrats like to talk about. One that, according to the new law, does not exist for everyone.

11th Circuit Rules DACA Recipients are Illegal Aliens and can Be Deported at Will

March 10, 2019 Steve MacDonald

DACA kiddies in Georgia took that state to court after being denied access to state colleges for being illegal aliens. Individuals “who are not ‘lawfully present’ (are barred from) from enrolling in selective state colleges and universities, even if they otherwise qualify for admission.”

“Adult” Told Convicted UNH Vote Thief It Was Okay To Cast Ballot In New Hampshire

March 10, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Spencer McKinnon copped a plea deal for voting in Durham New Hampshire after submitting an absentee ballot to his how hometown in Massachusetts. McKinnon’s lawyer now says an ‘adult’ at UNH told him it was okay for him to vote here.

SeacoastOnline Gives Away the Democrat Lie On Taxes and Education Funding

March 9, 2019March 9, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Despite a complete disconnect between funding and results, Democrats want more money for New Hampshire schools. Bigger budgets have produced no return on investment. None. But as I’ve noted previously, Democrats don’t care about learning. Public Schools are a vehicle for redistributing wealth to a favored constituency.
