At the end of August, I shared an email from a reader. They suggested that New Hampshire’s choice of tax policies was somehow tied to a series of business failures (some pending), one of which was Brookstone, a niche specialty items chain that has corporate offices in Merrimack (ack-ack), New Hampshire.
Brookstone is failing, yes. But is it New Hampshire’s fault?
which “Supply Sullivan” wants us to swallow: hook, line, and trigger. I haven’t watched the WMUR debates yet but will do so because, well, I should. Still, this sound byte from their News caught my ear (emphasis mine):
“I believe the veterans in Congress are going to lead on this because we have an unassailable credibility when it comes to guns. And we can say on the House floor, we used these in Iraq, people used them in Afghanistan. They don’t belong in Manchester and they don’t belong in Hampton. they don’t belong anywhere in this country.”

No, you don’t. This is the falsehood by a “in Supply” dud who
by Jim Fitzgerald, Candidate for St. Albans State Representative Franklin 3-1
As a proud Democrat, I was elected to represent St. Albans in the Vermont state legislature for six years, and after that I served as mayor of St. Albans for four years. This year I am running for the legislature again… but as a Republican.
Yes, a Vermont Republican.
Why?
That would be here due to the news that she actively politicking on overriding Gov. Sununu’s veto override on SB 365 and SB 446 instead of recusing herself from the efforts due to her family’s landholding. I was told that she decided to run again (originally she wasn’t) in no small amount due to getting the override done and promote Crony Capitalism / Corporate welfare (and I reject what a lot of Republicans are saying, in effect, “everybody is getting a subsidy so why not them because JOBS!”. Sorry, this is not the Proper Role of Government to force the population to have their money taken from them to give to corporate interests; in this case, pay higher electrical bills all over the State for a fairly few number of people. This is fair?
I even got an email over this from the Grafton Registry of Deeds complaining about the post I did – that email thread after the jump. Silly person.
Finally, the Manchester School Committee’s “secret” meeting about secret dealings regarding spending on a program, not supervised or approved by the Committee, hit the public.
Once again it took a pry bar for Manchester taxpayers to see where funding for another program, which looks suspiciously like the special interest of a single employee of the school, comes from.
The “pry bar” in this respect was a group of dedicated elected officials on the school committee who cling to the public’s right to know.
Democrats should be happy that Judge Kavanaugh does not see a specific right to abortion in the words of the US Constitution. It means that the lib-states can do whatever they want. Lefty Landscapes can continue to “euthanize” minority populations before birth and legally “separate” immigrant mothers from their unborn babies. All at Taxpayer Expense!
Women’s health care for all the victim groups including the ones that were not born “women.”
These states will be so desirable that “women” will leave non-lib-states that fail to see the benefit and move to the lib-states instead.
Right?
Steve Negron has received an A rating from Gun Owners of New Hampshire.
Jeff Woddburn’s arrest on nine counts of Domestic violence, he’s been laying low. So low that reposts suggest he has not been to any meetings or events (so we shouldn’t expect to see him at this one). There are few if any signs (literally) indicating he is running for public office even though he has refused to resign or drop his re-election bid.
The WMUR Debate is Friday night.
“Get them while they last! Passes for the Negron For Congress Debate Watch Party on Friday night hosted at Saint Anselm college! If interested please RSVP with tyler@teamnegron.com .”

The left works hard on their corporate speech, corporations aren’t people, campaign finance reform song and dance narratives. But here’s a quick and easy way to explain to friends and family why it’s all just a bunch of left-wing hooey.
Are corporations – which are just a bunch of people working collectively toward a shared interest- subject to taxes and regulations? Yes?
So, who’s next?
Jane Cormier cut a 30-second radio spot today and we’d like to share it.
Zero Hedge reports on the impact of Anthem kneeling, cops are pigs socks-wearing sometimes NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick. A four billion dollar loss in market value so far. That’s billion with a “B.”
I hope Colin already cashed the check because being the face of loss is one thing but being the face of massive loss is not a keeper even for virtue-signaling multi-national corporations.
Every So often its just plain fun to post something that makes the Anti-Gun Left go into category five meltdown. So one week from Saturday, Londonderry Fish & Game Club will be hosting John Farnam for Defensive Urban Rifle Class. That is Saturday, September 15 and Sunday September 16 for the Moms Demand crowd.

Senator Ben Sasse felt the need to use his time on day one of the Kavanaugh confirmation hearing to explain a few things about the confirmation process, the role of the Court, the legislature. Basic stuff you’d think sitting US Senators should have figured out.
I guess not.
NPR went on a little crusade to explore school shooting data from a federal report only to discover that most of the ‘shootings’ never happened.
In an amusing story, a government-funded media outlet notorious for its liberal slant found that the overwhelming majority of school shootings listed in a federal report never occurred. The embarrassing blunder involves Department of Education (DOE) figures stating that schools around the U.S. reported an alarming 235 shootings in one year.
In an email released yesterday Cornerstone Action PAC announced its endorsements in contested Republican primaries for state-level races. These are for the Executive Council, State Senate, and NH House. “The Cornerstone Action PAC is non-partisan and evaluates candidates without regard to party affiliation. Candidate party affiliation is noted below.”
Each of these candidates has a contested primary race. Endorsements are based on high scores on the Cornerstone candidate survey, on voting records, and on consistency between surveys and votes.
Here is a list of all their endorsements.
Recent discussions regarding the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court seem to have centered largely around two issues: guns and abortion.
Judging from my own experience, conservatives tend to be both pro-gun and anti-abortion, while progressives tend to be both anti-gun and pro-abortion:
Pro-abortion Anti-abortion Pro-gun Conservative Anti-gun Progressive
So it occurs to me that the current juxtaposition of these two issues might represent an opportunity to make, albeit informally, a historic deal linking the two.
This is one of those rare occasions where I depart company with my fellow Groksters. This is hard for me to do. But it is one of those rare…very rare times where I sit here and think, “Guys, I happen to think I am right here!” Eddie is right on this issue. Here’s the deal…
Eddie Edwards is the candidate I am going to support. I hope at the end of September 11, he will be the Republican nominee. Eddie is SOLIDLY pro-second amendment. Eddie is anti-big government. Please see this video for proper perspective.
Consumer confidence is reaching new heights and the economy is clicking along but not at Dick’s sporting goods.
In the Wall Street Journal report, Dick’s said that comparable store sales from the previous year had fallen 4 percent, and the company’s same-store sales from the previous year were down 1.9 percent.
The results, according to the report, were clearly weaker than expected — especially considering that consumer confidence for the month of August was the highest that it’s been in nearly two decades.
One of the highest forms of participation in society for the left is the obligation to pay taxes. It’s patriotic, it’s civic-minded, it’s all kinds of things, but most importantly it is a moral obligation.
And the left always wants everyone to give more because frankly there is no ceiling on how big their government can get or home mush it needs. So, you’ll hear all sorts of explanations for why we need more taxes or higher taxes. But before you let them off the hook ask that Democrat a few questions.
