If voter fraud is such a nothingburger, why are Dems pulling out all the stops to prevent an investigation? (H/T: Instapundit)
The Institute of International Finance (IIF) Global Debt Monitor 2017 report shows that growth in global debt has slowed over the past several years, particularly in mature economies. However, Emerging Market economies borrowing more heavily, global debt has set a new record high of USD217 trillion (over 327% of GDP) in early 2017. The IIF report … Read more
Contrary to some surprising reports my wife did shake hands with Mrs. and Mr. Trump @POTUS after a great visit. Let's FIGHT FAKE NEWS. — Andrzej Duda (@AndrzejDuda) July 6, 2017
Here is a transcript of President Trumps’ full remarks from his speech in Warsaw, Poland. It’s a very good speech. If you’d like the highlight reel instead, Mark Steyn parses some of the finer points here.
If you Google Global Warming, New Hampshire, and Tourism you’ll be “rewarded” with the history of Climate Cultist scaremongering on the subject. From snowless winters to impacted fall foliage, drought to deluge. There is no limit to the problems that inaction on “climate change” will cause the tiny state or the damage predicted for the local economy.
They told us that if we did nothing about Global Warming, it would affect New Hampshire Tourism. They were right.
Nope The Founding Fathers believed that a secular government is key to preserving liberty. But they also believed that without a religious society, liberty would devolve into tyranny. (H/T: Liberty Unyielding)
Louder with Crowder: “Stealing ‘Illegal Aliens’ jobs” – heh! Democrats like to say that the U.S. needs illegal immigrants because they will do the jobs that Americans are too proud to do, and that they are a benefit because they pay into the system. In his latest video, CRTV host Steven Crowder decided to investigate that myth — … Read more
This graph isn’t just an illustration of news coverage, it is a visualization of absolute media malfeasance. This graph might as well represent the public’s declining trust of the mainstream media. That 4 minutes they spent on Obama’s war in Afghanistan? That’s about where the American people are right now in their level of faith … Read more
Where can I get such a job that pays $174K/year and I get so much vacation time?? Oh yeah – this is the calendar for the US House of Representatives. Fifteen weeks of not working in DC in crafting and passing legislation. Sure, there is “work in the district”, but we vote them in to … Read more
Rasmussen Polling 31 percent of likely voters in the Democratic Party “believe the current national leadership of their party is representative of most Democrats,” Only 23 percent of all likely voters said the Democratic Party leadership is representative of their beliefs. 58 percent of those surveyed said the party needs new leaders. 75 percent of … Read more
I thought that coal was bad and set up the “WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!”, right? That “everyone had to do their part”. SUCH shock and rancor that the US simply decided not to self-immolate its economy – where’s all the uproar about this?
Over all, 1,600 coal plants are planned or under construction in 62 countries, according to Urgewald’s tally, which uses data from the Global Coal Plant Tracker portal. The new plants would expand the world’s coal-fired power capacity by 43 percent.
But OUR media, what did they say? Was it about the hypocrisy of the
Brooke Coupal, writing for NH1 News online, has an article about a guy in Pittsfield whom Pittsfield Police Chief Jeffrey Cain claims, has a tendency to change the items outside of his home.
The article, titled “Neighbor complain to police over Nazi, Conservative flags outside NH home,” has a picture with the NH State flag, a Gadsden flag, ‘We support the Troops,’ and some American flags. The reported Nazi flag and some Confederate flags had since been removed.
The title, as written, hints (perhaps with a feather or a sledgehammer) that Nazi and Conservative flags are similar and both subject to complaints. There are at least three issues with this I’d like to point out.
Democrats, not just here in New Hampshire, ignored years of spying and abuse of personal privacy under Obama. They did. Obama spied on you, me, your neighbors, the press, our allies, members of Congress, just about everyone. The Obama administration tried to get private search traffic and call record history. And while every government spies, Obama took domestic spying to a whole new level.
Democrats, not just here in New Hampshire, were overwhelmingly silent. Privacy was not an issue then, so why now? Why now, when the Trump administration is asking for States to share voter registration data?
Nashua Police had to ‘Jeff Woodburn’ a bear Monday evening to save the North Country from the burden of another southern-tier forced wildlife refugee relocation. It’s the only sort of “refugee” the Democrat opposes. NASHUA, N.H. —Nashua Police said they put down a bear Monday evening. The bear was shot around 9:30 p.m. in the … Read more
OK, obviously not in person but perhaps a moment or two of reflection. Too often, I believe, we take what we have for granted in this country – and I don’t mean the material blessings either. More to the point that our country was found on the idea of Individual Liberties encased in our foundational philosophical document – the Declaration of Independance. It holds, contrary to all political thought at the time, that our allegiance was not to a particular plot of land nor to a King and his aristocracy and cadre of nobles.
No, just as with Luther’s Reformation, just as the death of Jesus on the cross that ripped the Temple curtain of the Holies of Holies which proclaimed that we have a direct path to God and not have to go through a mass of priests and layers of organized Church(es), they proclaimed that instead of being ruled by a Government, we were to be our own Government – the idea of self-government was a heretical, literally revolutionary, idea.
One that gave birth to the
From Instapundit: It was not because it was proposed to establish a new nation, but because it was proposed to establish a nation on new principles, that July 4, 1776, has come to be regarded as one of the greatest days in history. Great ideas do not burst upon the world unannounced. They are reached … Read more
In quickly scanning the newspapers this morning, I was rather shocked by something concerning something that just lept out of the screen. In reporting what hadn’t been funded in the next NH budget, this factoid just stared back at me (full part of that piece after the jump for context). Concerning a program to get those on welfare back to work was this – just take money sitting in an account and spend it:
…All of which is somewhat ironic, since the Senate leadership made sure the workforce program was included as part of SB 7, a bill designed to tighten eligibility for the food stamp program. It made sense. If you’re going to make it harder to get food stamps, why not make it easier for people who take advantage of the program to find work.
…No one ever said, “If the House won’t pass our food stamp restrictions, they won’t get a workforce development program,” but that was the outcome. The House wanted to use $11.5 million in federal funds for a two-year pilot program estimated to help 600 people.
Did you figure out why this caught my eye? Yeah, $19,166.67 / per person each for 600 people. Seriously – WHO comes up with this idea – and get it into actual legislation????
Magazines holding more than ten rounds were grandfathered into a 2000 California law but in 2016 voters approved a measure to confiscate “large capacity Magazines” effective July 1st. That hasn’t happened. The court stopped the planned confiscation at the end of June.
You can read a detailed history of the case in great at the Volokh Conspiracy, but I wanted to share two quotes from the article that relates to California’s defense of the confiscation because they are priceless.
I am fond of pointing out that to Democrats there is no limit to how much of other people’s property they will spend. California is the poster child, but Illinois is vying for the title. If it weren’t for the citizens electing a Republican Governor, they’d be staring into the teeth of a 32% $5 billion dollar permanent tax increase.
Passed with a 72-45 vote, the $5 billion tax bill raises the personal income tax rate from 3.75 to 4.95 percent and the corporate income tax rate from 5.25 to 7 percent, Reuters reports. The bill is on its way to the Illinois state Senate, which is also controlled by Democratic lawmakers, for approval.
