Woodburn’s Domestic Assault Defense: Win With “Would-He”

As a Democrat State Senator, Jeff Woodburn gets “special” dispensation. That’s when you get permission not to have to follow a rule or not to be bound by a particular code of behavior. In this case, there are two behaviors. The first is that Mr. Woodburn’s victim does not have to be believed. The second is … Read more

Public School Teacher Can’t Believe Black Student Supports Trump

Cypress Bay High School (which happens to be in Broward County Florida) is under the microscope after a white teacher asked a black student, according to the student’s parents, “‘You’re African-American, how can you possibly like Donald Trump.’” On Sept. 25 the student noticed that his math teacher stayed seated during the recitation of the … Read more

Marsey’s Law: Gov. Chris Sununu, answer one question for us all

“I wanted that constitutional amendment. Well, the ACLU got involved and just crushed it. I wish other people stood up for it. I’m going to do it again. I knew it was a tough battle. I’m going to do it again. That’s OK.” -NH Gov. Chris Sununu Here’s the question, given that you want to … Read more

Quick Thought – seeking redress should not require police escorts for elected Representatives!

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

While TEA Party folks like myself did protest and assembled all over the country and in DC (and generally left the protest areas cleaner than they found it), while boisterous, we were peaceful.  The Left, seeking “redress”? Not so much:

Police escorts for senators after protesters swarm the Capitol ahead of Brett Kavanaugh confirmation vote

The impassioned fight over Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court has led to heightened security at the Capitol, with some senators using police escorts to shield them from protesters. United States Capitol Police have arrested dozens of protesters in recent days and stepped up their presence in Capitol hallways. Some Republican senators have expressed unease over protesters who have confronted them at their Senate offices, restaurants, airports and even their homes.

A fisking of US Senator Jeff Flake on the SCOTUS hearings

Two fortunate things came together – I found the charging cord to my Zoom Q4 camera (literally handsized) and found out that it makes a great camera with which to yank off clips from the TV (DVR’d of course) and that US Senator Jeff Flake decided to show up at St Anselm’s Institute of Politics this past Monday Night.  Of course, WMUR just HAD (in their drift leftward) had to cover this “Conservative” who, they touted, derailed the confirmation of Brett Kavanuagh to the Supreme Court (even if just for a little mite of time).  Of course, Flake is all pleased with himself and he made that quite clear to all.  For not much at all, IMHO; let the fisking begin:

Oh, that picture and “who is that in that red circle?”.  Note to Jeff Flake:

New Hampshire Democrats are Lying about ‘Believing Survivors’

Over the past several days, New Hampshire Democrats, especially Senators Jeanne Shaheen, Maggie Hassan and Gubernatorial Candidate Molly Kelly, have gone out of their way to claim that all sexual assault claims and survivors should be believed and that they actually believe them. They are lying. They are referring to the disgusting spectacle Senate Democrats … Read more

Democrat Molly Kelly Wants Gov. Chris Sununu to Denounce Brett Kavanaugh

Candidate for New Hampshire Governor Molly Kelly (D – Never met a tax increase she didn’t like) wants the current Republican governor, Chris Sununu, to denounce Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination publicly. Sure, it’s a trap, but not one he can’t easily side-step. Mr. Sununu should counter with something like, “This is not a banana republic. No … Read more

Voting Enthusiasm Poll: A combo of “They have brought us upon themselves” and

The Law of Unintended Consequences with Obama’s (yes, he’s still a thing) “I won”?  US Senate Democrats (along with loose coordination with their allies in the MSM and Progressive organizations) have overplayed their hand with the absolutely disgusting tactics they have used against Judge Kavanaugh and other Conservatives (e.g., made up allegations that can’t be … Read more

Are Selfie-Related Deaths a ‘Major Public Health Problem’?

Agam Bansal is the lead author of a study that cataloged 259 deaths that occurred while taking selfies between 2011 to 2017. According to a report by the Washington Post care of the Manchester Union Leader,

“The selfie deaths have become a major public health problem,” Agam Bansal, the study’s lead author, told The Washington Post.

While all death is tragic, I’m not convinced this constitutes a global public health problem.

When you keep pulling bricks out of the Wall that is Society…

Interesting article to puruse:

Obama’s Social Experiments Are Wreaking Havoc on America Today

Can you see where this is going?  When you upset and then throw away long term Society’s norms built up over hundreds of years for the sake of “PROGRESS!”, why should anyone be surprised? Sure, some wrongs have been righted but then Progressives just had to charge over the cliff wall and take all of the rest of us with them (abbreviated, emphasis mine).

While the Left’s advocacy on social issues and identity politics long predated Obama, the former president’s policies supercharged many of the issues dividing America in 2018. His administration helped launch the current liberal cultural wave that wreaks havoc on American politics — and extends far beyond politics. Here are five key ways Obama’s policies impacted American culture, beginning with #MeToo, sexual assault, and Brett Kavanaugh.

1. The sexual assault maelstrom.

It all started in 2011, when the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) under Obama’s Department of Education (DOE) issued a “Dear Colleague” letter reinterpreting Title IX of the 1972 Higher Education Act. The OCR letter encouraged colleges and universities to set up what Harvard Law professors Jacob Gerson and Jeannie Suk called a “sex bureaucracy.”…

Stop the Presses: “Free College” May Not be The Best Use of Taxpayer Dollars

I did not know that the Island of Rhode has a Free College program called Rhode Island Promise. It is available through the Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI). You need to be a Rhode Island Resident, a high school graduate (includes homeschoolers), and under the age of 19.

But according to the CCRI Faculty Association President Steve Murray, “I wouldn’t call RI Promise a success or a good use of the taxpayer’s money.”

UN Court says Treaty Makes US Sanctions Illegal – Trump Admin. Dumps Treaty

The big news that doesn’t have the words Kavanaugh or Ford in it, is a declaration by the United Nations International Court of Justice. It claims that planned U.S. Sanctions on the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism are illegal and that they must ease them. Why? A 1955 Treaty with Iran.

The Trump administration’s response. We’re terminating the treaty.

Pine Tree Ramblings Vol 12

Since 1981, October has been declared Domestic Violence Awareness Month.  Given that, I feel obligated to provide a public service by highlighting NH State Senator Jeff Woodburn’s recent Domestic Violence charges. In case you haven’t heard, Senator Woodburn has a bit of an anger management problem.  Sure, we all get angry, but we don’t “bite” or … Read more

Heh! Oh, Michael Graham? There is a difference between Steve and I!

Methinks he got the quote just a wee bit off in his post over at NH Journal. Grokster Kimberly passed on that he was looking for some quotes about the high and mighty RINO US Senator Jeff Flake (yes, aptly named) who recycled a speech at St. Anselm’s so I was quite happy to provide three quick sound bites:

Why would we vote for him when he just showed us that he is easily led by the nose by the Democrats? Is he one of those that decides based on who yelled at him last? And do we need to tote an elevator along with us if we wanted him to listen to us?

Michael got it just a bit off kilter:

Ford-Strozck: It’s that Democrat smirk that says

“Screw you”. It got Peter Strozck fired from the FBI for his attempt at “insurance” against Trump being voted in as President. Hopefully, Christina Ford’s will get Brett Kavanaugh confirmed to the Supreme Court. (H/T: Powerline)
