One of Life’s Certainties – New Hampshire Democrats Raise Taxes

As Government gets bigger and more inefficient (corrupt), it needs to feed. The ‘food’ is your hard earned dollars, and the delivery method is taxation (fees, charges, etc.). Anyone who recalls the last time Democrats “ran things” around here they deliberately overestimated revenues and then spent them to grow government. When the estimates fell short, … Read more

Protecting the vote supply

The Red Cross Bloodmobile has an elegant procedure for dealing with people who shouldn’t donate blood, but who don’t want to have to admit that to their friends or employers.

You go in with everyone else, and fill out the forms, and if there is something that would disqualify you as a donor, they put a specially coded sticker on your bag, and someone else discards it later.

It eliminates the danger of embarrassment or discrimination beforehand, and it mitigates the danger of a tainted donation entering the blood supply.  It’s a great system.

I’m wondering if maybe we shouldn’t have something like that for voting.

Meadowstone Farm Apologizes (For Violating NH Election Law)

Earlier this week we reported, with images, a blatant violation of New Hampshire election law. Meadowstone Farm posted pictures on Instagram (which they quickly removed) depicting cut up campaign signs. The proprietor has apologized formally on their business website. I would first like to apologize to the Northern Grafton County Republicans, especially those whose signs … Read more

Notable Quote – Thomas Sowell

Similarly, people who discuss raising the government-mandated minimum wage talk as if this would automatically mean having the lowest-paid workers’ income rise, from $10 an hour to $15 per hour, for example. In reality, for millions of inexperienced and unskilled young workers, it can mean that the wages they receive in fact fall from $10 an hour to zero, when … Read more

Extra Special – Special Counsel

If President Trump wants to send a message to Democrats about who can play hardball the best, I have one humble suggestion – have Rod Rosenstein appoint Matthew Whitaker, the DOJ employee Democrats are screaming about, claiming he is an unconstitutional replacement for Jeff Sessions – as the new Special Prosecutor/Counsel. Withdraw Whitaker as acting … Read more

Obamacare 2.0? Democrats are Poised to Compound a Problem They Created

It seems like only yesterday that Democrat lawmakers unilaterally passed the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. At the time, it was a widely unpopular law that was sold to the American people on false promises. It deprived countless individuals of their existing health insurance policies and their preferred doctors. Its oppressive regulations stifled … Read more

Data Point – Income Inequality?

..I mean, are Americans really no better off than they were during the late 1970s? I hear that stated quite frequently. But this chart of real income growth tells a different story. Please note that all the lines have been headed higher. Also note the 79 percent gain for the bottom 20 percent in post-transfer/tax … Read more

Tales from the BudComm – a technical correction

As I have said before, it turns out that “No doesn’t mean NO!” when it comes to SB2 Budget Committee deliberations because of a “technical flaw” in RSA 32 (and to a smaller degree, RSA 40).  While BudComms must deal at General Ledger line levels (we are prohibited from just “lopping off” or “adding to” the net bottom lines of municipal or school district budgets, after our presented budget(s) are accepted, modified, or denied by the Legislative Body (er, the voters in a given town), the Governing Bodies (Selectmen, School Boards) then submitted the finalized budgets to the NH Department of Revenue Administration (“DRA”) using forms known as “MS-Form”).  Essentially, they are “roll up” forms – instead of listing all of the individual line items, they simply show aggregated totals of the department budgets (e.g., the entire Police budget in a single line).

Once done, and the “Purpose” (very important word, that) has been set, the Governing Bodies are then able to transfer monies from one lower level GL account line item to another – including into those line items that BudComms may have zeroed out. So, I’m looking to crowdsource for a bit of help.

Employer Gives All of Their Employees Handguns For the Holidays

Families have unique stories about educational opportunities. Some children struggle in assigned schools that do not meet their needs. Even high-performing public schools may not be a good fit for individual children. Maybe it is a problem of academic fit, or perhaps bullying. Other families access options that work for their children, often at great sacrifice. … Read more

ICYMI – Attention Catholics: Before you Donate, CCHD Is A Front for Radical Left Wing Activism

BUMPED: from 12/17/17

By Jim Kofalt

If you attend a Catholic Mass this weekend, you might be asked to contribute to something called the “Catholic Campaign for Human Development” (CCHD). The annual collection for CCHD takes place the weekend before Thanksgiving, and it is ostensibly aimed at alleviating poverty. What many Catholics don’t know – and what the leaders of CCHD will never tell you – is that CCHD is an organization with roots deeply embedded in the traditions of Saul Alinsky and radical leftist politics. CCHD funds have been used routinely for purposes that conflict sharply with what most Catholics believe. CCHD is a political organization – not a charitable one.  The fact that CCHD continues to collect donations from unwitting Catholics is tantamount to fraud.

ACORN, the left-wing political organization that took credit for helping to get Barack Obama elected in 2008, received over $7.3 million from CCHD over the course of a decade.

How to lose elections

I keep hearing that the GOP needs to get better at making use of social media, and the Internet in general.  And better at raising and spending money.

But looking at the mass of campaign literature in my burn box, it occurs to me that a party only needs things like web sites and social media pages and a ton of cash for mailings and yard signs if people don’t already know what it stands for.

Unfortunately, that’s a pretty accurate description of the current state of the Republican Party.
