News – Politics – Opinion – Podcasts
I watch the Sunday shows (now that I have DVR capability back) so you don’t have to. I’ll tell you, Chris Christie (former NJ Governor and former Prez wannabe), was absolutely beside himself (no small order, that) and full of glee after the words of Politico’s Rachel Baid’s description of what would happen if the Democrats DO take over the House (as their dreams of taking over the Senate seemingly have set sail). First, her words:
His gleeful response with advice to the GOP:
I sat there in amazement at the utter hypocrisy that Juan William showed on Fox News Sunday a couple of days ago. Seriously, you threw the race card? How did race matter at ALL, there Juan? Was Brett Kavanaugh…black? Was Christina Ford….latina? Or the former Native American and the latter Islamic (after all, the Left keeps calling Trump racist for limiting Muslim majority immigration from suspected terrorist States)?
Nope, just white. Both of them – beyond the shadow of a doubt. The question that was the kickstarter was:
Juan, given the fact that Democrats were clearly saw in that poll, already mobilized, a lot of their in their opposition to President Trump. Does this, if it does energize the Republican voters, the conservative voters, is this a net plus for the Republicans? The Kavanaugh fight?
His answer just had to bring in the Democrat Identity Group politics:
Nikki Haley is resigning as our ambassador to the UN. Probably the best one we’ve had in my lifetime. And depending on who you believe this was something Mr. Trump knew about six months ago or it’s a surprise to everyone. It can certainly be both. https://twitter.com/spettypi/status/1049670570550419456 HotAir shares some other ideas about why she is departing the … Read more
by Don Walker I was doing some late night internet tv watching on Tubi TV tonight. The movie was Tortilla Soup (one of my favorites). The movie runs for about 1 hour 50 minutes. On Tubi TV, ads will break into a movie a number of times during the entirety of the playing. I believe … Read more
The only scared things on the left are politics and power, and I’ll keep saying it until you see it for yourselves because it’s true. Nothing you are, do, or says makes you “special” to the Left if you aren’t dragging their political baggage everywhere you go, all the time, forever. The latest evidence of this is … Read more
The print media may be dying but it has done us an excellent service. We have the words of experts, editorialists, and exaggeraters going back more than a century on the topic of climate, how it changes, and the ravings of lunatics, credentialed or otherwise about how those changes will be the end of us. Over, … Read more
The Left is an endless font. A re-gift that keeps on re-giving. And Indigenous People’s Day is no exception. (that’s Columbus Day to the rest of us). And seeing as that day is today, and the Left is still working their confidence scam, I thought it appropriate to share some excerpts from past efforts to make fun … Read more
Well, the smoke of the Kavanaugh campaign battlefield has cleared a bit and we are now conducting after-action reports. One of the purposes of such a report is to gauge both ours and the enemy’s strengths, weaknesses, acquisitions and damages as a result of the battle, to conclude their current operational status. A key gauge … Read more
I do solemnly swear, that I will bear faith and true allegiance to the United States of America and the state of New Hampshire, and will do whatever their Supreme Courts tell me to do, even when that conflicts with their written constitutions.
Article 100 of the New Hampshire Constitution outlines a few different methods by which that document can be amended. But with election season upon us, and with school funding being such a hot topic, it’s worth taking a look at a method that isn’t included in the document itself, using Article 83 as an example.
Did you know that 98% of New Hampshire Democrats voted against free speech for therapists … and voted against rights of conscience for medical professionals? 97% of New Hampshire Democrats also voted against free speech near women’s health clinics. Tell Republicans, Independents, and even working-class Democrats to get out and vote Republican on November 6th because Government should not … Read more
No, it’s probably not over but,
Christine Blasey Ford is throwing in the towel.
Ford’s lawyers have told CNN that their client “absolutely does not want him (Kavanaugh) impeached if Democrats take control of Congress.”
Law of Unintended Consequence is how the Democrats did it – starting with the passage of Obamacare when they owned the Presidency, the House, and the Senate by majority proof margins. The TEA Party movement flashed into being and the pushback on the Right hasn’t stopped. With the recent capturing of all three by Republicans because of the Democrat overreach during the Obama years, we got one of its goals:
Saturday’s confirmation marks more than the dramatic conclusion to a political battle that has waged for more than three months, and instead could mark an inflection point in a philosophical war that has raged for decades. The Supreme Court has not had a conservative majority since 1934, when the New Deal took hold and the Court moved to the left, giving the federal government vast new powers over economic issues. The Court massive broadened federal powers over commerce, taxing, and federal spending.
The New Deal did turn from being a court into being a supra-legislative body and the New Deal also started the process of turning the lower part of the Judiciary to the Left as well. it also served as a bulwark for Democrats that when they lost those New Deal majorities, they could always depend on the courts to uphold its agenda (re: the decisions against Trump shutting down immigration from suspect countries). Now that is at risk:
And the GREAT thing about it is that the US Senate Democrats proved Pence was absolutely correct without any prodding. They just went out and did it by themselves.

You’ve heard of the Streisand Effect. Wikipedia defines it as “a phenomenon whereby an attempt to hide, remove, or censor a piece of information has the unintended consequence of publicizing the information more widely.” Streisand sued a photographer working on a coastal erosion project for posting a picture of her home online.

I’m not going to gloat over Kavanaugh’s confirmation*, but it’s a relief. It’s a major victory in the war for the truth. I’m glad that the Dems and their enablers didn’t get away with their repulsive, dishonest behavior this time, but I don’t look forward to seeing what they do next. They’ve all lost their … Read more
Global Warming isn’t just a god it is an angry god. It is responsible for every bad thing that happens to anyone or anything. It’s true. From Alligators in the Thames to snow in Bhagdad.

So much for the vaunted Blue Wave. Between DiFi, Schumer, Blumenthal, and “Spartacus” Cory Booker, there is now a real consequence to the slanderous way that the Democrat embedded MSM and Democrats in general handled the Kavanaugh confirmation processes. Really, there is no other reason why except a reaction by we Normals to the Democrat … Read more

Mexico, Canada – it was Germany’s turn to be on the short end of Trump’s “Art of the Deal” and the EU throwing in the towel. Remember, Trump has said he’d most want NO tariffs at all:
Trump VICTORY? EU may ABANDON tariffs on US cars after threats to German industry
The German Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy, Peter Altmaier, told Austrian public broadcaster ORF on Friday that Germany is willing to come to the table to ease trade tensions with the US. Mr Altmaier said: “We are ready to talk about low, equal duties on cars. “This would be the best solution for everyone.” Mr Altmaier’s surprise comments came after an EU trade ministers meeting in Innsbruck.
US duty on imports from the EU is only 2.5 percent, resulting in a trade deficit for the US.
The old technique is called “Pairing”:
Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski announced that although she opposes Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation, she will be listed as ‘present’ in the final vote tomorrow so that Montana Senator Steve Daines can stay at his daughter’s wedding. The announcement comes hours after [Republican Senator] Daines revealed he was willing to jet to Washington after walking his daughter down the aisle, in order to confirm Kavanaugh if needed. Thanks to Murkowski – a crucial Republican swing vote – he will no longer have to following her ‘agonizing and close call’ decision.
‘I will be a no today and a no tomorrow,’ she said during a press conference on the Senate floor on Friday evening. ‘I will, in the final tally, be asked to be recorded as present and I do this because a friend, a colleague of ours is in Montana this evening and … he’s going to be walking his daughter down the aisle and he won’t be present to vote. I have extended this as a courtesy to my friend. It will not change the outcome of the vote,’ she added.
