Which Side Are You On Boy…

America’s founders designed a system of government with a defined role for each of three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. The system works when each branch operates as it was designed. Unfortunately, at this point it is not working very well because we the people have allowed the creation of a fourth, unelected and unaccountable … Read more

James Comey

Comey Doth Protest Too Much… Methinks (Part 2 of 2)

Fired Former FBI Director Comey’s testimony about FBI leaks to the press is at odds with his sworn statements from his former deputy, Andrew McCabe. We know Comey met with Trump on several occasions assuring him that he was not the subject of an FBI investigation. This happened amid mysterious leaks to the press that Trump was, in fact, part of the probe. We now know he made sure that his memos about his meetings with Trump were leaked to the press. His explanation of his behavior is that it was designed to force the appointment of a special counsel. But the question  should be asked whether it actually was to deflect scrutiny from his own improper actions?

A number of high-ranking FBI officials during Comey’s tenure were either been fired, forced to resign, retired, or were reassigned; some cases resulting from accusations of improper conduct or bias. Andrew McCabe was assigned by Comey to oversee the Clinton email scandal. Comey knew or should have known McCabe’s wife had run for a seat in the Virginia state Senate. It was a matter of public record she received help of nearly $500,000 in campaign contributions from a PAC associated with the Clintons. One would have thought the appearance of impropriety, conflict of interest, should have been obvious at the time, most especially is such a high profile and politically charged matter.

Obamacare Ruled Unconstitutional

U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor in Fort Worth agreed with a coalition of states led by Texas that he had to rule the Affordable Care Act unconstitutional after Congress last year removed a key provision, the tax penalty for not complying with the requirement to buy insurance. The judge sided with the administration in declaring … Read more

NoLabels is Back – Selling the Same Stale Bottle of Piss as Some Political Cure-All

Last week the Union Leader republished an opinion piece by the Founder of NoLabels, Nancy Jacobson. We get one of these at the UL every year, sometimes twice. Nancy, or whoever gets the byline, goes on about the “political divide.” Look at those radicals on the left and right. Scary stuff. But not to worry. We’re here for you.

Except they are not here for you. They are here for them. Proof?

Breaking News: Texas Judge rules Obamacare unconstitutional.

Hardest hit: Women and children, Poor,  Legacy of Obama

Breaking: Obamacare ruled unconstitutional by Texas judge – here’s what he said

A judge in Texas ruled Obamacare unconstitutional in light of Congress passing a budget that excised the mandate from the original legislation. U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor in Fort Worth said that the Affordable Care Act passed under the aegis of former President Barack Obama became unconstitutional after the budget passed by Republicans that cut out the tax penalty for not purchasing insurance….Texas and nineteen other states argued that the U.S. Supreme Court had found the healthcare legislation constitutional on the basis of the existence of the mandate. Once the mandate was eradicated by Congress, they claimed, that completely undermined the constitutionality of the bill.

Judge O’Connor agreed with that reasoning Friday.

Clinton Cleaners: A Foundation Makes for a Great Money Launderer

Whistleblower testimony on the Clinton crime family and their money laundering foundation has blown up the internet this week. There’s too much to process. To keep things simple I picked on that added to my last post on this: Are the Clinton’s Screwed. The answer is yes. At least on paper. Mr. Moynihan… stated that 60% of … Read more

James Comey

Comey Doth Protest Too Much… Methinks (Part 1 of 2)

Sometimes the story reported does not discuss the more important matter illustrated by it. The testimony of fired former FBI Director James Comey’s testimony before Congress is such a story. Comey has been at the center of every major scandal involving the 2016 election. He asserts his moral compass to anyone who will listen yet dodges questions under oath by Congress.

Last week he testified before a combined session of the House Judiciary, Oversight and Government Reform Committees. In that single appearance he stonewalled. He answered either “I don’t know,” “I don’t remember,” or “I don’t recall,” 245 times. If you or I did what Comey has done we would likely face indictment for perjury or obstruction. We have a right to clarity and completeness in Comey’s testimony. We need to know the extent to which the department he headed was weaponized and used as a tool of political skullduggery. That is the grave danger to our republic.

OK Jon Hopwood – bad thing to do what you did: an old white guy, attacking Rich Girard, and using the N word

That’s right.  Jon Hopwood really doesn’t like Rich Girard.  As in REALLY doesn’t like Rich Girard.  So over at Ed’s post (“Manchester Fool Committee Strikes Again“) where he opined about Manchester Ward 2’s David Scannell and his role in deliberately publishing lawyer Karen Hewe’s letter about Rich Girard correcting Rachel Phelan’s Op-Ed on Manchester teacher negotiations. I’d suggest that you go read it for better understanding the following context (or not – there’s not much context needed for this loser):

So while he accuses Rich of assorted unnicities, he forgot his own, rather Politically Incorrect, peccadillo.

Democrat US Rep Ted Lieu: Govt should be able to regulate your speech

I have a post in my head about the larger Constitutional topic but once again, we see that Constitution is a GREAT constrictor of nascent totalitarians like US Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif).

California Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) blatantly confessed on CNN that he “would love to be able to regulate the content of speech” but that he’s stopped by that pesky First Amendment, which keeps his powers in check.

Appearing on CNN with host Brianna Keilar, Lieu was asked to discuss the congressional hearing with Google CEO Sundar Pichai about political bias within the company and how it might affect the country. Keilar at one point questioned Lieu about what politicians can do to put a stop to online trolling and conspiracy theories. Lieu confessed that he would love to regulate speech but that the First Amendment prevents him from doing so. To his credit, he does add that it’s better that the government not regulate free speech.

I’m not sure about that “to his credit” bit. Here’s the verbatim quote:

OK, I grudgingly agree with this only because GUNS!

Oh, and one more – if it can serve as a backup generator during power outages (I’ve already got a cable for that!). Prius and guns – never thought I’d use both of those words in the same sentence. (H/T: Powerline)

Manchester Fool Committee Strikes Again

There is a cost for electing liberal political hacks to a school board, or committee, and a shining example of “hacknoxiousness” is sitting on the Manchester School Committee Board right now. Enter one – Ward 2 Committeeman David Scannell. Does this “ward” title mean mental ward? It looks like the standard, “Let’s Get Committeeman Rich … Read more

Majory Stoneman Douglas High School gun free zone

Parkland Massacre – Investigating Panel recommends arming teachers. Heads exploding in 3…2…1…

Wow!  Just wow! What is Parkland kiddie David Hogg going to do about this? A breath of fresh reality (reformmated, emphasis mine):

Florida school massacre panel recommends arming teachers

The panel investigating the Florida high school massacre recommended Wednesday that teachers who volunteer and undergo extensive background checks and training be allowed to carry concealed guns on campus to stop future shootings. The Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission voted 13-1 to recommend the Legislature allow the arming of teachers, saying it’s not enough to have one or two police officers or armed guards on campus. Florida law adopted after the Feb. 14 shooting that left 17 dead allows districts to arm non-teaching staff members such as principals, librarians and custodians — and 13 of the 67 districts do, mostly in rural parts of the state.

Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri, the commission’s chairman, pushed the measure at the Tallahassee meeting. He said most deaths in school shootings happen within the first few minutes, before officers on and off campus can respond. He said suspect Nikolas Cruz stopped to reload his AR-15 semi-automatic rifle five times, all of which would have been opportunities for an armed teacher to shoot him.

Nine point plan Trans Youth

Trans-Youth Nine-Point-Plan says Abolish ICE and the Police

A university Gender and women’s studies program recently shared a nine-point platform created by the National Trans-Youth Council. Trans-youth? Does that mean they are children who “present” as adults? Or are they, more likely, grown-ups who behave like children? Neither, it seems but their ‘platform’ suggests they will all vote Democrat. Vote for what? Related: Transgenderism: A State-Sponsored … Read more

Data Point – US Income more equal than advertised

In short, the widely reported explosion of inequality in the past three decades is likely a myth, built upon outdated and flawed statistics… Whereas Piketty and Saez show a massive century-long swing of almost 20 percentage points in the income share of the top 10 percent, the adjusted figures show a much flatter curve with … Read more

“It’s all part of the “our political belief killed 100 million people in the last century” starter kit.” – getting a communist finger tattoo

Or wait for it – the Democrat Socialists of America.

Yeah, if I saw a job candidate coming into my firm and I saw that tattoo, s/he would be quickly shown the door. Anyone thinking that they should allow such nonsense (given that the DSA has already said that there should never be a profit (er, without it, who would be able to hire ANYONE?) and that private companies should be taken over by “the workers” (yes, I’m on their email list so I see this anti-American crappola all the time)) deserve what they get – which if they really take power would be destitution and a free stay at the “Re-Education Seaside Resort”. That is, if they weren’t subjected to the communist holocaust  alluded to in the title of this post.

So, the San Francisco “steering committee” of the Democrat Socialists of America decided to set themselves apart from everyone with this cute design.  No, not as flamboyant as the typical MS-13 gangsters we’ve been seeing in the news that ordinarily would have jobs in a traveling circus as the Tattoo’d Man decades ago – but just as dangerous.  Yes, as dangerous.  Not physically, at least not at first, but certainly their root ideas are and we only have to see the carnage that “government directed life” wreaks upon a country (g.e., “She who forgets history ends up with Venezuela“).
