The debunked Steele Dossier was the driving force behind the special counsel investigation into the Trump administration. Herr Mueller, for all his work, has a few process crimes and a lot of press but nothing relating to why he was appointed. So, is it a big deal that Clinton Family fixer Lanny Davis just hollowed out the dossier and left it to rot at the bottom of the Potomac?
Cable Competition coming to my hamlet? I could enjoy that?
Here in NH, most cable TV / ISP municipal agreements between towns and providers have been monopoly arrangements – one town, one cable provider. I’ve been fairly happy with my with respect to service and features (first Metrocast and now Atlantic Broadband) but the price is a bit steep. So, when I say this coming … Read more
Another reason for concealed carry: Cops and schools had no duty to shield students in Parkland shooting
The hits just keep on coming – I’m betting that the Parkland kiddies that brought a lawsuit to the contrary are stomping all over their self-esteem trophies and are upset that a mean old judge just trampled all over their “right to feel safe” (thank you, teachers, for teaching them the wrong things). We’ve talked about … Read more
Embattled Manchester Democrat David Scannell Should Step Down
Manchester Democrat David Scannell should step down. He is so blinded by partisan vitriol, that he is not competent to sit on a public board. The proof is in his own admission. He deliberately released a letter from a lawyer to the press. Why? Because the lawyer sent it to all the members of the school board, not just David Scannell.
Disqus Doodlings – no, capitalism requires cooperation – LOTS of it. Part 2 of ??
Yeah, this Treehugger post on Einstein hating capitalism is gonna be a gold mine for blogging fodder. Even as I write this, the neo-socialist-enviros are pushing back on the Freedom to transact voluntarily (e.g. Capitalism). Another pick at the pot by Brian who, along with most there, hates the idea of the fruits of Capitalism: … Read more
Disqus Doodlings – no, capitalism REQUIRES cooperation – LOTS of it Part 1 of ??
Once again, trolling for material and doing so at probably one of the better sites at which to do it: Treehugger, that special brand that combines both “sustainable environmentalism” and socialism. This time, an article on how Albert Einstein hated Capitalism. It starts off with the senseless nod to the Noble Savage concoction and then … Read more
New Hampshire Sets Record Employment Number Again!
New Hampshire has had excellent employment numbers all summer long and now they are even better. According to the Department of Employment Security, the Granite State is still plumbing record territory. Seasonally adjusted estimates for November 2018 placed the number of employed residents at 743,860, an increase of 1,170 from the previous month and an … Read more
One Non-Resident Voter Indictment Down – 5,000 More (Just from 2016) to Go!
Our old pal from November 8, 2016, Michael LaSean Lewis, was indicted by a Merrimack County grand jury this month for lack of a lawful NH domicile in our state when he showed up and voted, same-day style, in Hooksett during the 2016 General Election. Lewis was driving a Massachusetts registered rental car. The Coalition … Read more
One Year After Net Neutrality Ended Avg. Internet Speeds are 35.8% FASTER!
A year ago the FCC “deregulated” the Internet. It was only “regulated” for two years (too many) but the regulators prophesied doom. Well, after a fashion, they were right. Doom has befallen their narrative. ISP’s would crank down the screws? Your connection speeds would crawl?
Nope. The Internet is faster.
Chuck Schumer Confesses – “Illegal Immigration is Wrong. Plain and Simple.”

Trump Commission on School Safety: We Recommend You Arm More Adults in Our Schools
Last week a panel investigating the Parkland massacre suggesting arming teachers. Today, President Trump’s commission on school safety said the same thing. Arm more school personnel. Adults trained to store, carry, handle, and use firearms. With one caveat.
Texting Tax is Dead Thanks to Trump’s FCC – But To Democrats Raising Taxes Never Dies
Regulators have decided to find something to tax other than texting. The proposed levy made news in our pages last week. And everywhere else. But popular outrage at the idea is not what convinced proponents they needed to find other ways to deprive people of their money. It was Trump’s FCC.
Sexist, Racist Leftist Gillibrand for President… Really?
Don’t you just love it when leading Leftists like Kirsten Gillibrand, senator from New York, lamented the fact that three white men are leading the polls to be her party’s presidential nominee in 2020? It seems there is too much, not just white privilege, but white male privilege. That is nothing, if not both racist … Read more
Transgender Miss Universe Contestant Didn’t Win?
For the first time in the event’s history, a man vied for the Miss Universe Crown. Trans Woman Angela Ponce represented Spain. But is he the most beautiful woman in the universe? We may have to take that up with Carl Sagan’s Ghost. Or, perhaps the transclimate scientists will have a sunny forecast for Ponce’s future. Because the judges … Read more
A Flake by Any Other Name is Still a Flake
The US District Court for the Southern District of Florida is one of the busier federal trial courts in the country, and it is not unusual for civil cases filed in that Court to take over a year to come to trial because of the limited judicial resources and the necessity of giving priority to criminal cases under the Speedy Trial Rule so that criminal defendants get simply to walk away from their charges because of trial delays.
I am a long time member of the Bar of that Court and have handled some cases in that Court, which seems to be always chronically undermanned (or under-woman-ed as the case may be).
There is a disgraceful situation with respect to an appointment of a Judge to that Court that has been going on too long,
Notable Quote – Andrew Sullivan
For many, especially the young, discovering a new meaning in the midst of the fallen world is thrilling. And social-justice ideology does everything a religion should. It offers an account of the whole: that human life and society and any kind of truth must be seen entirely as a function of social power structures, in which various groups have spent all of human existence oppressing other groups. And it provides a set of practices to resist and reverse this interlocking web of oppression — from regulating the workplace and policing the classroom to checking your own sin and even seeking to control language itself. I think of non-PC gaffes as the equivalent of old swear words. Like the puritans who were agape when someone said “goddamn,” the new faithful are scandalized when someone says something “problematic.” Another commonality of the zealot then and now: humorlessness.
Trump exposed Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer’s “Emperor’s New Clothing”
In that fateful White House meeting where Trump refused to let the cameras leave, it became clear that the Democrat Leadership won’t give up their Open Border mentality. Trump just made them bear their souls (heh!). (H/T: Powerline)
DISQUS Doodlings – From the stack of stuff: BOOM! Ooohh….Ahhhh. You don’t need that!
8 reasons to rant about fireworks
Either I’m way late or way early for this topic: Fourth of July and fireworks.
I often just save off pages from sites on which I’ve left a comment (or WAY more) on some topic. So, time to unstack some of them (especially since Steve said WRITE!). Once again, it’s Treehugger time – they are so “pick-on-able” and this is no exception.
SCOTUS: now and in the future – a presentation
After the disgraceful sideshow of the confirmation hearings for now US Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, it is never too late to take a dive into the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) as it exists today and perhaps as it may evolve in the future, whether with upcoming case decisions and/or with possible appointments to the Court in the next two years.
Quick Thought: Obamacare ruled unconstitutional – I think this sums this up the Democrat defense
If you are going to take away the Affordable Care Act, how are you going to protect the millions of people currently using it for health insurance for their family? – Sen. Dick Durban (Il-D) on This Week with George Stephanopolus) Can’t say Obamacare, can he? Or they? They’ll still keep referring to it as … Read more
