When Winning is Losing

Some left-wing nutjobs are calling for mob protests in 900 cities tonight.  Why? The stated purpose, as if Leftists need a reason, is Jeff Sessions replacement. Remember Jeff Sessions? He’s the guy Nancy Pelosi wanted fired in 2018. We are far past recusal. Jeff #Sessions lied under oath. Anything less than resignation or removal from office is … Read more

Robert Francis O'Rourke - Beto

Call Me…Whatever It Takes

What to do with “Beto” O’Rourke. He spent so much money, double his opponent, and has nothing to show for it. Texas is still Texas, and California transplants haven’t’ done much to swamp the place with the socialism and irreversible state debt they escaped for a new life on a new host. But take heart … Read more

Illegal Aliens voting – isn’t that Voter Fraud?

So why is this voting official just waving off the requirement that only citizens should vote? “Right. It doesn’t matter that he’s not a citizen?” the undercover journalist asked, adding, “I saw some mess on the internet that it’s not legal for him to vote because…” “No. Don’t pay any attention to that. Bring him up … Read more

Does the Passage of Question 2 Harpoon Any Future Effort to Pass Marcy’s Law?

An overwhelming majority of New Hampshire voters supported question 2, an amendment to the State Constitution enshrining privacy rights. “An individual’s right to live free from governmental intrusion in private or personal information is natural, essential, and inherent.” Another proposed constitutional amendment that did not survive legisaltive scrutiny, thanks to an all-out blitz by activists and the … Read more

And the Law of Unintended Consequences kicks in on Day One

Lawsuit over school choice program has new life thanks to constitutional amendment

A six-year-old state law that allows businesses to claim a tax deduction for donations to a private school scholarship fund could face another court challenge, now that voters have overwhelmingly approved an amendment to the state constitution. “On the 2012 voucher bill, I think there’s a good deal of energy out there to challenge it again and getting the court to decide it on the merits,” said former state Board of Education member Bill Duncan on Wednesday. “But it’s hard to tell if the same marshaling of resources can happen again anytime soon.”

As I said when people asked me about the Constitutional ballot initiatives (re: taxpayers having standing to sue and privacy), if it was “limited”

Whaddya mean, the Senate is going to pursue a Dem agenda? Jeb Bradley’s been doing it for them for years

We’re going to be amplifying what Steve all but said over the next two years because once again, Republicans can’t seem to get out of their own way even when they’re winning.  This from the UL tells part of the story:

NH Senate flips, Democrats to pursue new agenda

Progressive topics like paid family and medical leave, a minimum wage hike and legalizing recreational marijuana will get a new lease on life with Democrats taking control of the state Senate for the first time in a decade….“They voted for paid family and medical leave, access to affordable health care, resources to combat the opioid crisis, and to continue supporting our local public schools. Congratulations to the Senators-elect, welcome to the Senate, and thank you for answering the call to serve your district.”

And then Jeb Bradley decided to open his yap, never understanding that he’s part and BIG parcel of the problem the NH GOP faces:

Republicans: Making Excuses for Their Inertia (or lack of it)

New Hampshire’s recent cleansing comes on the heels of two of the worst Republican Majority Sessions in my time as a blogger. Lead by a “Republican Speaker” elected by Democrats and a renowned moderate aisle-crosser the legislature embraced and passed bills that would have died an early death under the watchful eyes of more diligent … Read more

Message to Conservatives: Stand Strong

I see just about everything as an opportunity. I’ve already started leaning into this one (that would be the election thingy we had way back on, what was it, yesterday?) to see where we can take it. If you’re not quite there yet, or nowhere near there, check this out, Courtesy of The Heritage Foundation. Last night’s results … Read more

Jeff Sessions Out as AG – Trump Asked, Sessions Resigned

Sessions departure was inevitable. In fact, we predicted it, mostly because mid-term changes are not unsusal and Sessions recusal from Mueller’s circus made him a liability. Fingering Sessions for a departure was like betting the odds that Democrats will try to raise your taxes. No-brainer. Matt Whitaker is the acting AG, and he thinks Mueller is on … Read more

Election Hangover – Celebrity Endorsements That Crashed and Burned

Celebrities endorse things. Quite often, later on in their careers when their agents can’t find them any decent work. But there are those that take to the endorsement bug early, probably because the paycheck is substantial, and it can raise the profile of products or services, elevating interest in the public eye. Celebrities also like to endorse political … Read more

Question Answered: Maybe Chris Sununu Can Get Re-Elected…, But What About Everyone Else?

Back in May, I questioned whether Republican behavior, especially Governor Sununu’s, which had gotten decidedly progressive, could weather the electoral storm in November? And while Governor Sununu may be able to weather the loss of thousands of votes… what of elected members of the party he (at least figuratively) leads? Candidates who need a handful or … Read more

NH 2018 Election Results

As I had posted earlier, I wasn’t able to keep running totals going here in Grok 3.0.  So, as final results come in, I’ll try to put them up (depending on the finishing times). NH Governor: Chris Sununu (Molly Kelly conceded) NH Executive Council: as of 11:30, it looks like this will go to the … Read more
