Well, Nelle believes a Right is only when she says it is one

Commenter Nelle left some words for NH House Rep Jeanine Notter’s Op-Ed “Democrats removed a Constitutional Right from the NH House – what will they do to you?” Apparently, Nelle is in full agreement with what the Democrats have done – made a Right subject to the Collective and when Governments says when it is a … Read more

Understanding Islamic Basics

There’s a lot of money getting spent in America proselytizing for Islam. It is a highly active promotional effort. The effort includes charges of Islamophobia against anyone not accepting of the campaign at face value. There is a growing understanding that Islam is not a religion. By its own description it is a civilizational view. … Read more

Data Point – Americans believe illegal immigration is a serious problem

Reformatted, emphasis mine: A new poll reveals that very few Americans say that illegal immigration is not a problem.  An Economist/YouGov …poll suggests that public worry is pronounced — almost two thirds says illegal immigration is a serious problem, with some predictable partisan divides: 40 percent of Americans overall say and agree that illegal immigration in … Read more

The Assault Plastics Bill

No, I’m not talking about ‘plastic guns’.  I’m talking about HB102, which would add ‘the distribution of single-use plastics to consumers’ to the list of things towns can regulate. The idea is to let towns ban the use of plastic bags in grocery stores, or plastic drinking straws in restaurants.  But ‘single-use’ covers a lot of ground. … Read more

Science “Unsettled” – Pot contributes to schizophrenia?

With large studies in peer-reviewed journals showing that marijuana increases the risk of psychosis and schizophrenia, the scientific literature around the drug is far more negative than it was 20 years ago.

NH Democrats Want to Allow Towns to Ban Straws and Plastic Bags

Durham NH fearmonger Judith Spang wants the legislature to allow towns like Durham and Portsmouth to ban plastic drinking straws or bags. Any town that wants to, actually. HB102 would add “the distribution of single-use plastics to consumers” to the list of things towns can regulate without deferring to the Legislature.

Rudy Giuliani Tells Hannity Why Mueller Should Be Investigated

Two years of slam-dunk investigating by a crack-team of radical left-wing Trump haters has produced nothing. The Special Counsel has successfully framed a handful of folks over process crimes, none of it related to the investigation for which he was appointed. It’s not a total waste. The Mueller team has managed to prove FBI collusion in … Read more

Something Steve’s Post on the Florida Supreme Court’s Recent Education Funding Decision Made Me Think Of …

Steve MacDonald recently posted Florida Court Invokes Separation of Powers in Refusal To Play ‘Adequacy’ Game in Public Education on Granite Grok. You should read it. You should also read the decision. As a parenthetical note, the Florida constitution -before the amendment in issue in the decision- actually contained the word “adequate”: Prior to 1998, article … Read more

How Did Merrimack NH House Reps Vote this Past Week?

The Town of Merrimack has something it has never had in all the years I have lived here. More than one Democrat in the New Hampshire House.  We may have two at one time. But with eights seats to fill, for the first time I can recall, Merrimack sent four Democrats to Concord. It might … Read more

“Gallup” Towards Interesting Polls – For Once

Gallup has a new fake, pro-Progressive poll out and it is a predictable doozie. A HUGE increase in Americans who want to leave America for good! No, I am not talking about the spoiled Hollywood 1%ers. This a “legit” poll “fairly” balanced and all that scientific stuff, that was created under the same professional pollster-fantasy that … Read more

Josiah Bartlett: The State of the State is Hot!
Grok: We Need Your Help to Keep It That Way

Carsey Foundation), and, for the fourth year in … Read more

Break Out the Violins – Federal Workers Living On Handouts

Federal workers suffering under the “Trump Shutdown” are being given free goodies such as food and entertainment by local DC establishments. I would say that is the least businesses in DC should do. “Bars and restaurants are doing their part to entertain and feed furloughed workers. José Andrés’ ThinkFoodGroup restaurants offer different free sandwiches every … Read more

Brexit Means Exit - Yellow Vest in UK

Prediction: Leftists will Try to Abscond ‘Yellow Vest’ Movement in US

The next wave of left-wing sanctioned violence in America could come under cover of a yellow-vest movement. It will advance leftist priorities through intimidation and violence. I think they have to try. The movement that began in France was in objection to globalist left-wing devotion to carbon taxes that made life unlivable for rural residents. The government eventually … Read more
