Democrat politicians ooze concern for the poor and promise wonderful sounding policies to win the votes of gullible, ignorant, and willingly deceived people.  But, in practice, Democrat policies hurt the people they are promised to help.  The Democrat demanded $15 minimum wage hurts young, uneducated, unskilled, and/or part-time workers.

A recent University of Washington study reports that the increase to $13 on the way to implement Seattle’s (a wealthy city) $15 minimum wage law resulted in a 9% reduction in work hours, a 7% cut in jobs for the lowest wage earners, and an average $125 per month less take home pay.  (http://tinyurl.com/yb9kersz) (http://tinyurl.com/yd9atq62)

Nearby areas, not subject to Seattle’s $15 minimum wage law, didn’t suffer these job losses, business closings, and wage losses.

War is horrible.  People are killed, maimed, emotionally destroyed.  Property is destroyed, wealth is consumed.  As we saw in WWI, even the winners lose in protracted wars.  As we’ve seen in Viet Nam and Iraq, trying to conduct a “gentle”, “compassionate”, or “politically correct” wars just prolongs the killing, suffering, destruction, and cost.  If you must fight a war, the best way to lessen the suffering is to end the war as quickly as possible.

This is why the United States and Japan should celebrate the anniversaries of August 6 and 9, 1945.  The atomic bombs we dropped on those dates quickly brought WWII to an end saving at least 150,000 American soldier’s lives and perhaps avoiding the extermination of the Japanese people.

WWII in the Pacific was particularly savage.  The Japanese believed in death before dishonor, and surrender was considered dishonorable.

A Sydney Australia suburb has prohibited the construction of a synagogue because it might become a target of ISIS. Talk about a win for Islamofascism.

The Land and Environment Court backed the decision by Waverley Council to prohibit the construction of the synagogue in Wellington St, Bondi — just a few hundred meters from Australia’s most famous beach — because it was too much of a security risk for users and local residents.

Can we call that Muslim Privilege?

First, you have to imagine the fawning (local and national) wall-to-wall coverage this would get if a Republican governor left the GOP for the Democrat Party. Now, back to reality.

CBS was the only network in the Big Three to give the story anytime. But during CBS Evening News, Anchor Anthony Mason down played the development with a mere 13-second-long news brief:

The President is promising a big announcement at a rally this evening in West Virginia. Spoiler alert: The news is the governor of West Virginia is switching parties. Democrat Jim Justice is becoming a Republican.

Perhaps the party switch was too hard for ABC and NBC to swallow. Especially since the switch further solidified the Republican party’s dominance in the 50 states. With the affiliation swap of Governor Justice, the GOP now controls the governorship in 34 states.

I know nothing about Jim Justice, he could be a relative of Buford T., for all I know, but that hardly matters. The media’s treatment is what is most telling, remembering what would happen were it a Republican.

Dave Gaubatz is a reired Federal counter-terrorism agent and co-author of Muslim Mafia. This report on the Islamic Societ of New Hampshire is attributed to Dave and is published, unedited and without additional exposition.

On June 30, 2017, I conducted firsthand research at the Islamic Society of New Hampshire. I am a former U.S. Federal Agent who specialized in counter-intelligence and counter-terrorism, specifically Islamic based terrorism. I have worked and lived in the Middle East since 1978.  I was the first U.S. civilian federal agent in Iraq at the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom (Mar 2003).  In the U.S. alone I have conducted first-hand research at over 280 Islamic mosques. I have placed undercover researchers in Muslim Brotherhood organizations and obtained valuable national security intelligence. Based on my professional analysis of my visit to the Islamic Society of New Hampshire (ISoNH) I report the following:

And that would be:

• Consistency breeds Trust yields Votes
• Winning is only a precursor; what is most important is what you do afterwards

They aren’t Consistent, they are breaking Promises, and worse, don’t seem to care.  They pleaded for 8 years – they got what they wanted.  We aren’t.  We aren’t happy either.  I hope they are literally devastated in 2018 for repeating 2006 all over again (emphasis mine, reformatted):

With This New Poll, Republican Lawmakers Should Be Sweating

With majorities in the House and Senate, as well as the presidency, there’s no excuse for Republicans to be faltering and fumbling the way they have. They had seven years to craft a solution to the nightmare known as Obamacare, and when the bell tolled, they were found wanting. A new Quinnipiac University pollshows just how disgruntled Republicans are with their representatives in Washington.

[With all due respect to Henry II (above)].  Please guide me around the bridges they have designed.  I don’t care about diversity – I want “my engineers” to know their math, material science, and ground soils makeup.  SJWs (Social Justice Warriors) have perverted just about everything they’ve touched and now they’re about to ruin engineering (emphasis mine):

Engineering Education: Social Engineering Rather than Actual Engineering.

Alas, the world we engineers envisioned as young students is not quite as simple and straightforward as we had wished because a phalanx of social justice warriors, ideologues, egalitarians, and opportunistic careerists has ensconced itself in America’s college and universities. The destruction they have caused in the humanities and social sciences has now reached to engineering.

One of the features of their growing power is the phenomenon of “engineering education” programs and schools. They have sought out the soft underbelly of engineering, where phrases such as “diversity” and “different perspectives” and “racial gaps” and “unfairness” and “unequal outcomes” make up the daily vocabulary. Instead of calculating engine horsepower or microchip power/size ratios or aerodynamic lift and drag, the engineering educationists focus on group representation, hurt feelings, and “microaggressions” in the profession.

If my car breaks down, that bridge fails, the light switch only operates in off mode (be it the switch, the bulb, or power source), or my computer no longer computes, *I’LL* show you a MEGA-microaggression and I will dang guarantee you that there WILL be hurt feelings.

President Donald Trump’s senior adviser Stephen Miller said Trump’s new skills-based RAISE Act immigration proposal that benefits American workers is yet another example of how Trump favors the working class over the investment class…Miller said. “This is a major promise to the American people.”

Not desired by the Elites and Establishment but US Senators Tom Cotton (R-LA) and David Perdue (R-GA) are delivering what I believe is the kind of immigration reform that is needed.  It is, however, 180 degrees away from what the GOPe, US Chamber of Commerce, and the Democrats believe was their “right” to have.  And what is that, you ask?  What the Bush and Obama Administrations gave us, for the most part – mass immigration via almost open borders with chain migration.  Thanks Ted “Swimmer” Kennedy as he changed immigration for the worse in 1965 (and we’ve had two mass amnesty gimme’s already) an famously infamously said “[O]ur cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually … Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset.”.  Yeah, that held up well, didn’t it?

Dan Tuohy’s Granite Status leads with  ‘The Mooch’ donated to NH politicians,’ including this gem.

Perhaps the surprising thing, based on the many donations reported to the FEC, is that Scaramucci didn’t also donate to Shaheen or another Granite State Democrat.

We could say the same thing about the scandalous Debbie Wasserman Schultz. There’s no record of her ever giving to a Republican. But then days after the congressional scandal broke Tuohy’s not the least bit interested in any monetary exchanges between Debbie Wasserman Schultz and New Hampshire Democrats.

Yep, that lasted long short.  Anthony Scaramucci, who sold his very successful NY financial firm, became Trump’s Communications Director just 10 days ago.  His claim to fame, forever more, will be his wallpaper ripping, foul mouth self-introduction to the White House staff. Today, US Marine General John Kelly (and Marines are world class in 4 letter word utterances) became Trump’s Chief of Staff.

I bet when the Mooch ran into Kelly, he bounced backwards and landed on his gluteus maximus. Hard.  And then ust slouched outward.  Big mouth met Big Man.

So, who MIGHT be the next Comms Dir?  Heh – Conservative Treehouse has an idea:

We have interviewed Lt. Col Allen West in the past and were MOST impressed by this straight backed, straight talking man. I generally don’t abstract a whole post but I certainly agree with West. Progressives hate our Republic form of governance as they knew/know what our Founders knew – a direct democracy has always failed – which is why Progressives have always worked to move away from our original Constitutional checks and balances.  From CNSNews (emphasis ine):

You know, if you sit and read the entire Declaration of Independence, the Federalist Papers and the Constitution, you’ll come to realize how truly brilliant the Founding Fathers were. Today, we have an academic elite that sees them only through the lens of identity politics; often, they perceive them as old, slave-owning, white men.

But when you lucidly examine what they did, you’ll see, as Benjamin Franklin said, they gave us a Republic — if we could keep it. They gave us a governing structure not just focused on the near term, but could truly last forever. Sadly, we lack the intellectual regimen in our current system of indoctrination (not education!) to objectively study these fundamental ideas, principles and values. We used to call it civics, but now, via revisionist history, the progressive socialist left, as Barack Obama stated, is all about fundamentally transforming our nation.

And have been doing so since the 1890s.

Since the state and local governments have often refused to look at the problem, individuals upset with this government failure to protect their votes have gotten their own project together to start cross-matching voter information – and it is starting to pay off (and a Hat Tip to the ‘Grok’s own (and Chair of CNHT) Ed Naile for doing a lot of the networking and info gathering here in NH). Emphasis mine, reformatted:

President Trump’s Advisory Commission on Election Integrity has set out to seek justice.

The Government Accountability Institute (GAI) discovered that “thousands of votes in the 2016 election were illegal duplicate votes from people who registered and voted in more than one state.”  GAI used lists of public voter data from only 21 states to match names birthdays and social security numbers to find 8,471 votes from 2016 were duplicated. You can estimate the number of fraudulent votes based on all 50 states and the GAI conservatively estimated that to be around 45,000. 45,000 duplicate votes.

It isn’t just Big Corp using Big Data techniques, folks
