New Year’s Resolution for NH Politicians – Stop Lying to Voters

stopthelies

January 1st is usually a day of reflection for many people over the previous year. It’s also a day where people create New Year’s Resolutions to make some sort of change in the new year. Political Buzz decided it might be a good time to create a New Year’s Resolution for politicians in New Hampshire, of any political affiliation, to stop lying to voters.

It’s really quite simple. If you want to pass legislation, use facts about it to explain why to voters. If you oppose legislation, use facts about it to explain why to voters.

Unfortunately, there are too many politicians who chose to lie about legislation to voters. That has to stop. Voters deserve better than to have elected officials lie to them about changes they seek to make in New Hampshire laws. Lying does no one any good and it keeps voters uninformed. That’s simply not fair to Granite Staters.

“Small arsenal”? Sounds to me like the guy was getting ready for a 3-gun match

3 gun competitionI am by NO means a gun expert but this headline at Fox was guffaw bait:

Man found with small arsenal on Houston Hyatt Regency’s top floor before New Year’s Eve celebration, police say.

Don’t worry, Fox, other media outlets had similar headlines but being more of a conservative outlet, you had NO one there to double check the copy first (that is, if he or she could stop laughing first)?  You know – facts?  Correct description?  Then I saw what constituted a “small arsenal”:

GET OUT OF NYC – James Hanson (climate scientist) said it will be underwater by morning!

Heh!  Yet another “science based” climate alarmism prediction down the tubes: Say goodbye to Lower Manhattan, everybody! By midnight tonight, it will be gone forever—drowned by the melting icecaps of the disappearing Arctic…it will be a tremendous vindication for the expertise of James Hansen, the former director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) … Read more

Happy New Year – 2018

Well, it has been quite the year, hasn’t it?  Certainly there’s been no dearth of issues, ideas, subjects, people, and pet peeves to write about (and the occasional Palate Cleanser along the way). The problem for most of us is not what to write about but getting the time to do so with family, friends, … Read more

Happy New Year 2018 – hardest hit is the Socialist union known as SEIU and the Fight for $15 union organizers

SEIU Fight for 15

Heh!

Do you notice the irony of a giant tax cut motivating big companies to institute a $15/hour minimum wage for their workers? Could we at least get an “Amen!” from the Fight for 15 people?

Remember a while ago that agitators from various unions, especially the SEIU, were flogging and picketing fast food chains like McDonalds, Wendy’s, and Burger King, especially in bigger cities?  They wanted the employees to step out of their stores and demand far more than what they were worth at the time.  Led by union organizers from the SEUI (who could have cared less about their future members – they spent millions in trying to acquire millions of new dues paying members), they made it a national news story.  While the cameras were out front, the unions were getting their faces into their Democrat elected officials to get their economic demands codified into law – notably in California and New York (who knew?) with the expected results now that the minimum wages are skyrocketing. So I have to laugh – Trump has screwed them all over.  Instead of

A wee tilt for the Party of Government by the Government?

Money - SatchelThat would be the Democrats and are well known as the Party of Government.  Why not? It seems that most of the employees are tilted towards one Party and it aint the Republicans.  Like this department:

VIRTUALLY EVERY DAY OF 2016, SOMEBODY IN DOJ DC WAS GIVING MONEY TO HILLARY: More than 2,600 individual donations were to the Clinton campaign by donors who listed the Department of Justice or one of its elements, like the FBI, as their employers. Their contributions totaled more than $416,000. Trump got a little more than $20,000 from a mere 61 such employees.

Only 268 of them lived in the Washington, D.C. but their combined total of more than $242,000 was half of all the DOJ/FBI donors to Clinton. That’s a drop in the bucket of $1.2 billion that Clinton spent in losing to Donald Trump but the huge gulf between DOJ backers of Clinton and Trump sheds additional light on why congressional Republicans are raising a growing stink about partisan bias in DOJ and the FBI.

I guess they did put their money where their mouths were –

New Year – Same Old Lessons Learned The Hard Way

Joe Kennedy Citgo - Buys oil from Venezuelan DictatorIt’s a new year, and we have the same problems humans have faced forever. Some have more than others. One solution seems to be redistributing what “everyone” has until everyone is “happy.”

Not that long ago such an attempt was made in an oil-rich country in South America.

Trump Living Rent-Free in Everyone’s Head

A bite of reality sandwich to start off your new year. In the White House, where everyone who was anyone told us Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit would reign, President Donald Trump finished the year by signing a tax reform bill that punished conservatives’ enemies and rewarded their friends. The Democrats get to go tell their … Read more

The New York Times Colluded With Clinton State Department

Email shows New York Times handed over Cablegate's publication schedule to the US government (without telling @WikiLeaks) giving the State Department, then headed by Hillary Clinton, up to 9 days in advance to spin the revelations or create diversions. https://t.co/IMrDOwoCd2 pic.twitter.com/CT4XkEs8Mc — WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) December 31, 2017 More at the Daily Wire

For all those on the Left that keep harping she won the popular vote

Here’s her participation trophy – and that’s about all it means.  Sure, that what she got (pretty much the margin came from Californiastan) but it never has and continues to never matter thanks to the Founders glorious mechanism called the Electoral College whose purpose was EXACTLY to not let the larger States determine the Presidential … Read more

Data Point – If it were still up to Obama’s policies, you’d have frozen pipes right about now

Coal to the rescue as record cold grips the East That’s right – the natural resource that Obama declared war against (his promise to bankrupt any new coal fired electrical plant) from before his first inauguration.  He poured billions of our tax dollars into “renewables” that basically only renewed the wealth of the politically connected … Read more

Best female UN Ambassador since Jeane Kirkpatrick!

I had been hoping for John Bolton but Nikki Haley has performed magnificently in putting America (and our interests) First instead of playing footsies in the UN swamp.  Really like the “taking names” bit and no longer playing the kumbaya “one big world family” farce. (H/T: Powerline)

Will NH all Democrat female contingent protest Willie Singletary like they did Roy Moore?

Willie SingletaryAfter all, at every turn our all Democrat Congressional delegation (e.g., Jeanne “Obamacare” Shaheen, Maggie “The Red” Hassan, Annie “I’m the most Progressive” Kuster, and Carol SEIU-Porter) denounced Republiacn Judge Ray Moore who was running to fill former US Senator and now US Attorney General Jeff Session’s Senate seat from Alabama on the basis of the allegations of sexual harassment.  Frankly, I’m betting that it was mostly because he said he’d really support Trump’s agenda and would be a reliable vote.  But now, we may really find out if the sexual harassment part was primary because now one of their own (a Democrat) is planning on running for Congress from Pennsylvania (emphasis mine):

A former Philadelphia judge named Willie Singletary has been in the public eye for quite a while and unfortunately for him, it’s not all been good. First, he was forced to resign after it was discovered that he sexually harassed a city cashier and sent her pictures of his genitals. He was suspected, and forced to resign after an investigation revealed some unsavory details.

Data Point – Great news from an otherwise whining Washington Post piece

Behold – another Trump campaign promise being met: If you read the piece, this is supposed to be anathema and really bad news; so is the following chart showing that Trump isn’t filling all of the political appointment slots that he could be.  Normally I’d go “so what, good start and keeping making it smaller” … Read more
