March 7, 2019March 7, 2019 Rick Olson

The advocacy for gun control marches on in the Granite State. Since the Democrats gained a majority in both the New Hampshire House and Senate, they have made gun control a top legislative priority. Gun control measures that are more reflective of New York, New Jersey or Connecticut. The Left wants this. They can taste it. But why?

March 7, 2019March 7, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Democrats like to talk about spending tax dollars to improve education. Mention college tuition and you’ll get an earful about how the State needs to invest more (of your money) to keep the price down. So why did New Hampshire Democrats just vote against Free College?

As NH Advances the Conscription of “Good Times” to Fill Its Tax Coffers

March 7, 2019 Steve MacDonald

I don’t care if you want to smoke pot. I think the existing rules that allow small quantities and provide for medical access are great.

March 6, 2019March 6, 2019 Steve MacDonald

A few weeks ago Martina Navritolova remarked on how women with penises had an unfair advantage in women’s sports. She called it insane and said it was cheating. I noted that there might be a price to pay for that and it has come due. Navratilova has had to apologize in part.

Democrats Bickering Over What to do About Ilhan Omar’s Antisemitism

March 6, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Ilhan Omar’s latest “wrong turn” came when she said that pro-Israel advocates have allegiance to Israel. It’s an old trope. One that rubs plenty of Jews the wrong way regardless of political party.
