New Hampshire Pelosi Radio (NHPR) Reminds Us – It’s the Democratic Party – Is it Now?

February 25, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Decidedly liberal-leaning Public Radio in New Hampshire has a message for us. Those Democrats are not members of the Democrat Party. They are the Democratic Party. For at least 80 years, some Republicans have referred to their major opponents as members of the “Democrat Party,” not by its name — the “Democratic Party.” It’s a jab … Read more

Dana Loesch Responds to Oscar Awards Pap: “There are no Borders or Walls that Can Restrain Ingenuity and Talent”

February 25, 2019February 25, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Other than Spike Lee’s tone-deaf anti-Trump rant there wasn’t much “political” in this years Oscars. No, I don’t watch them. I read about it later. And there isn’t much to report. We’ve got Lee’s moral choice between love and hate virtue-signaling which is more than just empty rhetoric. He’s got some racial baggage. Larry Elder rolled it … Read more

Will Virginia Decide Due Process Applies To Rape Allegations (at least for Democrats)?

February 25, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Remember Justin Fairfax? Virginia’s Lt. Governor is twice accused of sexual assault. Democrats running for President have told him he should resign. #MeToo, and all that. Democrats all over the place wanted him to step aside. But Fairfax said no. He continues to claim his innocence and likens his situation to an old fashioned lynching. A rush to judgment with no due process.

A constituent of Democrat New Hampshire House Rep Deb Stevens sent her an email. She asked that she oppose HB481—a bill to legalize, tax, and regulate cannabis.

“Life is a Fact, Not an Opinion”

February 25, 2019 Ellen Kolb

“New Hampshire must send representation to Washington, D.C. that knows life is a fact, not an opinion. If we can’t do that, then God save us.”

That was from the Honorable Dan Itse, speaking at the NHGOP’s February 19 “Stop the Democrat Silence” press conference. His words are worth recalling as Senators Shaheen and Hassan prepare to vote Monday, February 25 on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Gets Her Own Super-Hero Comic

February 25, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Before the Democrat Party establishment assassinates her and blames Trump voters (or Republicans in general). Before any martyrdom (even an accidental one) is used by the same Democrats to lionize her to advance the same agenda on their terms. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez gets own super-hero comic.

Why the Press Isn’t Complaining About How Lousy NH’s Income Tax Refunds Are This Year

February 25, 2019 Steve MacDonald

There has been a rise in reports about how some folks may be disappointed in their Federal tax refunds this year. It’s a media collusion narrative. The goal is to get people to buy into the idea that those Trump Tax cuts weren’t that great. But if the government took less of your money what happens?

The Law of Unintended Consequences states: “Well, what did you actually EXPECT to happen???”

February 24, 2019 Skip

Sure, a lot of the men that were targeted deserved to be targeted and they took the Perp Walk of Shame all saying they’d learn from this, grow from this, and go after the NRA as penitence (yeah, what else would you expect given that the guilty were Hollywood based. The Feminists, especially Third Wavers, … Read more

Emerson Poll: NH Youth Love Bernie, Trump Trounces Weld, Shaheen-Sununu Tied

February 24, 2019 Steve MacDonald

We’ve had our share of polls of late. Mostly Democrat. Taking the temperature of locals as to which cookie-cutter socialist wanna-be Trump challenger they’re most drawn. Until today the leader in every poll has been the aged but otherwise reliable but creepy (and undeclared) candidate Joe Biden. Did I say until today?

Farm Industry Forced to Employ (gasp!) Legal Immigrants and Americans

February 24, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Hiring and paying illegal immigrants is illegal. But then, so is offering them sanctuary in your city, county, or state: shared borders, Federal law, and all that. So, I’m not sure how the farm industry is getting away with paying illegal workers unless they are all Democrat owned. Or, is this some of that unscrupulous … Read more

Climate Lawsuit Against President Trump Dismissed by US District Court

February 24, 2019 Steve MacDonald

A US District Judge is refusing to assume a judicial right to supervise the Executive Branch on every little matter of environmental policy. Or, to claim that the Constitution includes a due process right to a “life-sustaining climate system.” The Clean Air Council and two minors ask me to declare that the United States of America, the … Read more

Milton Friedman Has a Message for NH Democrats on Poverty and the Minimum Wage

February 24, 2019February 24, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Search ‘Minimum Wage‘ on these pages, and you will find a wealth of information on the issue. Learn about New Hampshire’s unique advantage on the matter. And how its promised expansion is little more than virtue signaling by Democrats whose ideological ancestors invented it to keep people down. Something it continues to do today everywhere it is tried.

The New Hampshire GOP Shows -Yet Again- Why It Is The STUPID PARTY

February 24, 2019 Ed Mosca

This: The bill in issue is House Bill 706. While it is styled as creating an independent redistricting commission, if you read the bill, you will see that is a misnomer. It is a Democrat redistricting commission. Let’s begin with the composition of the commission. The bill provides for 15 members split equally between the … Read more

Last week, the Education Committee in the New Hampshire House of Representatives passed House Bill 564 (HB 564), AN ACT relative to possession of firearms in safe school zones.

Troops on the southern border - can they use deadly force?

New Facebook Poll Question: Use of Deadly Force to Protect the Southern Border

February 24, 2019 Steve MacDonald

With the introduction of military personnel to patrol the southern border, the question had to be broached. What about deadly force? They may be there providing support. Working on engineering. Protecting workers installing barriers. But no matter how much marketing or PR you may see about other roles soldiers are a projection of force. To that … Read more
