By now, everyone knows the name. He’s the senior FBI agent who played a pivotal role in the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s email scandal and was later assigned to Robert Mueller’s investigation into Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia. He’s the one ultimately removed from that team because of his own email scandal.

Recently exposed email correspondence between Strzok and his mistress, Lisa Page, another FBI employee, revealed a seething hatred of Donald Trump. The messages so far obtained contain mostly the same kind of contemptuous words found on most anti-Trump websites.

But some of it was especially troubling and potentially problematic.

OK, so this is back from May but from what we have seen throughout the year is the same attitude: “WE should be in charge – how DARE you take it away from us!  Therefore, we will act like spoiled brats”.  In other words – sore losers and this former gay Act Up guy from HuffPo (right after Trump fired Comey – yep, trying once again to undo my stack) is a great example of this (reformatted, emphasis mine):

It’s time to move beyond polite protests within specified boundaries. It’s time to escalate the expression of our outrage and our anger in a massive way. Starting today and from here on, no elected official – certainly those in the GOP defending and supporting Trump on a variety of issues, for example – should be able to sit down for a nice, quiet lunch or dinner in a Washington, DC eatery or even in their own homes. They should be hounded by protesters everywhere, especially in public – in restaurants, in shopping centers, in their districts, and yes, on the public property outside their homes and apartments, in Washington and back in their home states.

Nice guy this sore loser.  Infantile in that if he can’t get what he believes to be rightfully his, act like a simpering tantrum-throwing two-year-old.

In a staff editorial today the Union Leader points out how a series of bills promoted as tax cuts (by Democrats) aren’t tax cuts at all; which is why some Republicans are voting against them.

The Democratic approach would be to keep tax rates high, but carve out ways for taxpayers to avoid them. SB 75 would give tax credits for donations to career and technical education centers.

Of the non-denominational variety, we presume?

I should point out (because the UL didn’t have the bandwidth or the will) that the long list of sponsors for SB 75 includes three Republicans.

Here is another Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferer gone ape-crap.

Former Obama “Ethics Czar,” Walter Shaub, is getting ready to go commando into the streets if President Trump fires the rogue special prosecutor, Robert Mueller.

The real story is not that this bloated bureaucrat is any threat running wild in the streets.

EVERYTHING to Progressives/Leftist/Socialist HAS to be either indirectly racist or outright racist.  And if it isn’t, they’ll make sure that those invisible, unconscious, racist dots get connected somehow and some way.

Boston University theatre professor Kyna Hamill recently argued in a research paper that the popular Christmas song has racist origins. “The legacy of ‘Jingle Bells’ is one where its blackface and racist origins have been subtly and systematically removed from its history,” Hamill argues in her “Theatre Survey” research paper, according to Fox News. She added:

Although “One Horse Open Sleigh,” for most of its singers and listeners, may have eluded its racialized past and taken its place in the seemingly unproblematic romanticization of a normal “white” Christmas, attention to the circumstances of its performance history enables reflection on its problematic role in the construction of blackness and whiteness in the United States.

Finally, after the US spending 20 trillion dollars on “The War on Poverty” with little to nothing but a huge entitlement industry to show for it – here comes a United Nations expert to help us out.

Individuals who used to be in mental institutions now live on the streets, thanks to progressive’s complaints of past abuse, and the results are here for the United Nations to inspect.

Sigh.  I swear that sometimes these folks have no clue about how an economy actually works!  Without rehashing Part 1 and Part 2, it is clear that the comments were much more interesting than the actual post over at Treehugger (although it did set the stage – see title above). Another comment that was left was this:

This is just another reason why money isn’t really a good fit for the world any more.

Certainly Well, that elicited a discussion about money (always “bad thing” with watermelon environmentalists) and scarcity and the same guy above dug down another few feet:

I messed up in trying to institute a change – and blew it up. Thanks to Carolyn McKinney and the Support team at Nexcess in picking, choosing, advancing, falling back in trying to “scalpel” it.  Thank the good Lord for backups as that’s what we ended up having to do.  Before the backup, I saved off the posts since 12/10 and will be putting them back into the system tomorrow.

The FCC just tossed Obama’s attempt to regulate the Internet. When my daughter asked my opinion I told her, “remember back in antiquity (circa 2015) before New Neutrality? When the internet was a thriving, growing, thing looking for every way possible to get as many eyeballs on its corner of the world wide web? 

“It’ll be just like that, and it will keep getting better.”

If you are on the Andy Sanborn (for Congress) email list, you’ll have received this already. For the benefit of others and the trolls, here is a snippet from his email and a pdf of the highlights of the plan.

Attached is the first release of what the conference committee created and what both the House and Senate will be voting on over the next few days.

As you can see, this plan will benefit the people of NH and put more money back in your pocket.

While it is not perfect, this tax reform will make it much easier to file your taxes and spur on the economy to make sure we create more and new jobs.

Love Kurt Schlichter – he writes like Mark Steyn and Steve Mac Donald!  Anyways, there was this third wave “intersectional” feminist, Lara Witt, that put out a list of questions that ANY self-respecting feminist must ask of her beta male date right off the bat.

Methinks that she’ll end up an old spinster or I’ll pity her future husband forever. Oh, wait, no I won’t because he will have voluntarily chosen his own personal hell for the rest of his life.  Here’s one example. “How do you work to dismantle sexism and misogyny in your life?”

Here’s Schichter’s list – 11 Things Every Real Conservative Should Ask On A First Date

1. Do you believe that any group’s lives matter more than others?
2. How many genders are there?
3. How do you work to dismantle sexism in your life?

The Concord Fishwrap has a piece from the AP on the tax package going through Congress right now with the loaded title: “Tax Package would lower top tax rate for wealthy Americans.” As if that’s all it does.  Not that I am surprised – the CM is always the Progressive mouthpiece for Marxist class warfare (do wonder what the Publisher pulls down – most likely part of the 1%, but no matter – breaking eggs, omelets and all that).  Here’s the line that caught my eye.

“..negotiators agreed to cut the top tax rate for individuals from 39.6 percent to 37 percent in a windfall for the richest Americans…”

Here was my response:

Isn’t it long past time that New Hampshire ended blatant discrimination against Catholics in our state?

After the great Irish potato famine in the mid-1800’s, America experienced a large wave of Irish immigrants, many of whom were Catholics.   Some politicians wanted to prevent any public support of Catholic institutions and thus attempted, unsuccessfully, to amend the US Constitution to prohibit any public money being sent to Catholic institutions, even though they were not specifically named.  But everyone knew which group was being targeted for discrimination.

Although not all Catholics are Irish, most Irish are Catholics.  And I am old enough to remember my father telling me that John Kennedy could never be elected president of the US because he was Catholic.  He was also astute enough to opine that Nelson Rockefeller could never be president since he had been divorced.  I also remember seeing in antique shops old help wanted signs reading “Help Wanted – No Irish Need Apply” that appeared to be in common use many years ago.

Well, times have certainly changed, or have they?

To The Daily Sun,

If a contractor did a good job for you but a bad job for your neighbor would you force your neighbor to keep rehiring the same contractor? Would you tell your neighbor to hire a second contractor to follow the first and fix the first contractor’s poor work? No.

But this is what happens with children’s education. Many public schools fail to provide a good educational opportunity to all students. And parents have to make up for public school deficiencies if they can.
