Voter Owned Campaign Finance Bill A Waste of Time and Money

February 20, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The so-called campaign finance reformers are at it again. This time they’ve got a behemoth of a bill only Rube Goldberg could love. A massive, convoluted tome that adds a mountain of rules that would only impact six political races in the entire state. The Governor’s race and the state’s five Executive Council seats. SB 304- FN-A is AN ACT … Read more

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Channels Rapper Talib Kweli on the Berlin Wall

February 19, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Mr. Trump and most of America would like a barrier on the southern border to keep people from entering the US illegally. The Berlin Wall was built to keep people trapped in Communist-controlled East Berlin from escaping the glories of socialism. Alexandria Ocasio Cortex opened her mouth on the latter, and it sounds like she got it backward.

Go Ahead, Tell Us How Socialism Works

February 19, 2019

Simply brilliant. President Trump is spanking socialists with their own playbook. He is calling out socialism. Big and bold. If you have studied leftists, as I have since moving to a liberal town in NH run by leftists from CR, NJ, NY, MA, (and some other liberal locations) you can see exactly what President Trump … Read more

Obama Declared 12 “National Emergencies” and Ten of Them are Still in Effect

February 19, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Having declared the abuse of the national emergency as unconstitutional let us at least admit that so is almost everything else the government does. Most folks don’t know or care. The media only cares when it’s a president. More specifically a president Trump. Because Mr. Obama declared a dozen National emergencies and ten of those are still (presumably) sucking resources for something.

Legal Weed in California Leads to More Marijuana Enforcement (not less).

February 19, 2019February 18, 2019 Steve MacDonald

I could care less if you smoke pot. I have cared a great deal about the effort by various factions to get the state’s permission to grow or use the stuff. That was always going to come with strings and taxes. More government not less. A regulatory system, inspectors, and more enforcement. California is proving me right.

If This Bill Becomes Law, You Can’t Just Bring a Puppy Home Anymore

November 27, 2021February 18, 2019 Steve MacDonald

New Hampshire House Bill 688 is not new to our readers. Rebecca Baily warned us about it a few weeks ago. But it’s still out there.

Civilian Disarmament bills: Progressives don’t care about results, only intent

February 18, 2019 Skip

HB101 and HB564 have to do with gun restrictions in school zones (or as I call these kinds of bills the Second Amendment’s death by a thousand cuts).

Property Rich Portsmouth Doesn’t Want to Pay Its “Fair Share”

February 18, 2019February 18, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Portsmouth is loaded with progressives. The mayor and town council are frequently invoked on our pages over the latest left-wing knee-jerk policy or some perceived outrage against humankind or the planet. Portsmouth is powered by Democrat rhetoric. So, are you surprised that property-rich Portsmouth doesn’t want to pay its fair share in statewide taxes?
