1,322 Votes and It’s a 13-11 Republican Majority New Hampshire State Senate

November 18, 2018November 18, 2018 Steve MacDonald

The Democrat “Sweep” of New Hampshire looks impressive. But when you run the numbers, especially on the State Senate side, it’s quite fragile. To show you how precarious the win, we only need to look at a few State Senate Races. A difference of 275 votes (total) between just two races (Avard and Gannon) produces … Read more

How About a Sanctuary City for Gun Rights?

November 18, 2018 Steve MacDonald

The next great Supreme Court case on Gun rights may be brewing in an unusual place. The police chief in the city of Republic, Washington has stepped up to announce that recent unconstitutional laws passed by Washington State voters will not apply in his city as long as he’s the Chief.

It isn’t just about the marijuana tax revenue Democrats desire…

November 18, 2018November 18, 2018 Skip

As Steve posted, the reason why the Democrats decided to go all out on legalizing marijuana was not that they treasure Liberty (they don’t) but that they want YOUR money in their Treasury. It’s one of the reasons I’m against legalization and against casinos here in NH: both do nothing more than act as an expensive facade for bigger, more expensive government leading to more boondoggles and intrusiveness.

But the other reason? They’re beaming that they’ll achieve yet another Democrat Agenda item at the same! Question E…

I Finally Figured It Out: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Is the David Hogg of Congress

September 14, 2021November 18, 2018 Skip

Or, as she’s known among her friends on the Right, Occasional-Cortex (and Neiman Marxist to her Inner Circle). Yeah, this is gonna be a fun two years for us on the Right with Millennial self-righteousness born of micro-aggressions and fire-hoses full of “you’re nothing but a victim” messaging.

How About a 26% Tax on Marijuana Sales To Keep Prices “High”

October 5, 2022November 18, 2018 Steve MacDonald

Back in 2012 New Hampshire Governor-Elect Maggie Hassan said she was open to the idea of passing medical marijuana legislation. My first thought was, why? What did Democrats have to gain by putting their foot on the path toward what is typically considered a liberty issue? My answer was money and power.

I generally go with “tie it up in a burlap bag and drown it in the bathtub” but

NH Republicans Pick Up House Seat in Laconia Recount

November 18, 2018 Steve MacDonald

Recounts are underway across the state. Given the fallout from Tuesday, Nov 6th, Granite State Republicans have to be happy about every seat they hang on to or pick up. Yesterday they got one in Laconia. According to the count on election night, [Gail] Ober had defeated Republican Richard B. Beaudoin for that seat by … Read more

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Just a junior female version of Bernie Sanders?

November 18, 2018 Skip

Or just a typical Millenial: thousands for clothes and nothing for her job (relocation to DC to be (gulp!) a CongressCritter? And showing that her incompetence and illiteracy can know no bounds when it goes from her personal life to OUR lives and her impact on OUR financial wellbeing… She is going to be the … Read more

Democrat Congressman: Sell your guns to the Federal Government or we’ll nuke you

November 17, 2018November 17, 2018 Skip

She’s not lying. We should ban assault weapons by buying them back or restricting them to ranges/clubs. #EnoughIsEnough https://t.co/XbRpOvXlF3

— Rep. Eric Swalwell (@RepSwalwell) November 16, 2018

So, NEVER tell me again that the Democrat / Socialists / Progressives are saying “Nobody is saying they want to take your guns away”! From back in May and then again in November, this from anti-Second Amendment US Congressman Eric Swallwell (D-CA, San Francisco) started what most of us really know – civilian disarmament IS on the Democrat agenda:

Ban assault weapons, buy them back, go after resisters: Ex-prosecutor in Congress

…Instead, we should ban possession of military-style semiautomatic assault weapons, we should buy back such weapons from all who choose to abide by the law, and we should criminally prosecute any who choose to defy it by keeping their weapons. Our courts haven’t found a constitutional right to have assault weapons, anyway. When the Supreme Court held in 2008 that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm, Justice Antonin Scalia wrote that this right “is not unlimited” and is “not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose.”

Manchester Democrats Are Afraid of Rich Girard.

November 17, 2018 Steve MacDonald

The Left likes to tell you who scares them. One of the signs or symptoms of this condition is hyperbolic imaginings. Organized into a systematic hit. Like those on display from Manchester Democrats directed at Board of School Committee member Rich Girard. It’s not just THAT they are accusing him of inappropriate communications with a … Read more

Mexican Mayor to Caravan – Obey the Law or Get Deported

Trump Tax Cuts Produce Record Business Tax Revenue in October – Personal Tax Revenues Down 3 Billion

November 17, 2018 Steve MacDonald

Those evil tax cuts for businesses we all heard so much about just set a record for taxes received from businesses. In October, the first month of the new fiscal year, of $252,692,000,000. That’s more than $11.4 billion above revenue for October of last year, which was the previous record tax revenue for an October. … Read more

State to Check 3-Years of Social Media History Before You can Buy a Firearm?

November 17, 2018 Steve MacDonald

How does this sound? You want to purchase a firearm. You fill out your form and then wait while local authorities perform a 3-year review of your online/social-media history. Their job is to make sure there is no disqualifying hate speech in there someplace. Sounds Progressive. According to Newsweek, Senator Kevin Palmer is currently working on legislation that … Read more

Churches Could Be Fined for Using Plastic Stirs When Handing Out Free Coffee

November 16, 2018 Steve MacDonald

When you vote for someone, they suddenly inherit the super-human ability to know better. Or, more likely, the sort of people who run for public office are just predisposed to be busy-bodies. We know this to be true at every level of government with few exceptions. Down in DC the city council has no exceptions. … Read more

Girls Can Grow Up to Be Anything…Just Not Conservative

June 28, 2022November 16, 2018 Steve MacDonald

Elections where minority candidates lose, except in places like (say) New Hampshire, have become an opportunity for the left to wield the nuclear bomb called racism, on (of all people) women. Exit polling where Stacy Abrahams and Andrew Gillum have yet to win (because Democrat voting never ends even after the polls close) showed more white women voting for … Read more

Mr. Trump Reacts to the Words of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama on Border Security

Notable Quote – Roger Simon

November 16, 2018 Skip

“As people scramble to explain the sudden resurgence of socialism not only on America’s college campuses but also in the corridors of political power, it is worth noting the concomitant resurgence of anti-Semitism in those redoubts. The coincidence is not, as the Marxists like to say, an accident. The truth is that unfettered socialism, though based primarily on a demand for the abolition of private property, always comes riding on a current of anti-Semitism.”
