How much did elite 1% bankers pay to hear Hillary call Bernie supporters and millennials “a bucket of losers.” (Does that make them deplorable?)
That is what you learn at Wellesley College! At elite schools, students like Hillary Rodham learned to categorize people, with themselves at the top of course.
The last time Hillary mentioned Sanders supporters it was to describe them as basement dwellers.
Recently, she described some Trump supporters as a basket (container) of deplorables.

Over at Gab.ai, I “gabbed” this (not tweeted – I’m no longer using Twitter):
It seems that lots of stories (the Oct surprises?) are coming out about Trump sexually harrassing women. So he is vilified by the Dems now while Bill Clinton is still revered as a rock store by Dems (well, at least as a minor one) for having done the same things?
Also this: Jonah Goldberg, “Character is Destiny.”
If you’re shocked that Donald Trump was capable of being this much of a pig, you let yourself be deluded. If you’re surprised that the Clinton campaign — or some allied party — found something like this, you willfully chose to live in a fantasyland. If you think there isn’t more of this stuff waiting, you’re doubling down on your delusions and fantasies.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not defending Trump. I neither
Yesterday the Washington Post released audio of Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump saying some vulgar things about women that also implied sexual assault. It wasn’t just “potty mouth” language as some Republicans are claiming. Trump actually said he could just grab women and they let him because he’s a star. Of course, he used much different language to describe it.
I’m promoting this comment from frequent commenter Radical Moderate on Steve’s post on Hillary doing another “Othering” of people she doesn’t like (basket, now a bucket). Emphasis mine: I pose the following question to normal blue collar democrat acquaintances of mine that are going to vote for Hillary; What party do think will be running … Read more
This just in: Trump is a vulgar lout. Oh, wait. We knew that. But at least he’s not Clinton. Oh, wait – we knew that, too.
Every woman inundated with campaign phone calls and palm cards and TV commercials and web ads about how one or the other is better for women ought to be throwing up right about now.
ButButBut the Supreme Court! I know the next President will set the Court’s tone for a generation. I don’t trust Trump to get it right any more than I trust Clinton. Her judgment is manifestly destructive; his is manifestly awful. I cannot kid myself that simply voting not-Hillary is going to save the Republic. After this election, hemlock is going to be the only thing on the menu for SCOTUS watchers.
Unless the Senate does its job, that is. That’s going to mean independent Senators who see both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton for who they are, and who owe neither one of them anything. The Senate is going to be a firewall against malice and stupidity and coldblooded calculation by whomever is President.

Can you trust the press? Of course not. But here’s a look at the what, where, and why.

I was not happy when politics intruded into one of my favorite sports when Colin Kaepernick decided to inject Black Lives Matter into the game. As a political junkie, I certainly have discussed much these last 10 years at GraniteGrok. However and unlike Progressives, I don’t bring politics into areas “just because I’m there” – I will wait until someone else does first. And there are certain times when I keep quiet completely – it’s not my place and that’s how I feel. If I am watching football, I want to see football – period. It seems that the NFL management has yet to learn this lesson-in-process (emphasis mine, reformatted):
Now, with the start of this year’s football season, we’ve watched a certain second-string quarterback and social justice warrior lead disrespectful expressions during the national anthem and other players have jumped on the bandwagon, offering the black power salute as well.
Everyday Americans have reacted. Until this year, the NFL’s ratings steadily grew with each passing year. This season, the NFL’s ratings are in a free fall, with ratings already down to 2007-levels. Since the start of this season, ratings have dropped 17% for Sunday Night Football alone, costing broadcasters (and by extension. the league) precious ad revenue. Imagine the league negotiating for the 2017’s season, trying to command this year’s ad rates with 2007’s audience numbers (or 1970s viewership, if current trends continue).
Leave it to government to force a marketplace into existence, where people are coerced into buying something many of them can’t afford to use, and which sellers still lose money selling. And then leave it to government to blame free markets for the failure. -Stephen Green (Instapundit) Actually, its not Government that’s doing the blaming … Read more
‘You Cannot Lead People You Loathe’ (Mike Pence on Hillary Clinton calling many of Trump’s supporters “basket of deplorables” and”irredeemable“. Tell me, if her campaign slogan is “Stronger Together” and she proclaims that she can unite us all, how does one reconcile the two? Heaping piles of contempt on people isn’t really conducive on doing … Read more

*This is something of a programming change. I am going to try to post interviews the day after I do them, then compile them together each week into a single weekly podcast.
A new theme seems to be popping up at various events around the country. It is occurring at both political and non-political events. The new theme that Bill Clinton is a rapist adorns signs and is shouted from protesters. This probably has something to do with Jaunita Broaddrick not staying quiet about her experience with Bill Clinton, and her claim that Bill Clinton raped her and that Hillary covered up for him. And that she is not alone. Apparently, a lot of people are starting to come around to her claim and believe her and believe Bill Clinton is, indeed, a rapist. And they are not shy about it. Check out the sign behind the cast of the Today Show.

While the media advertises drought and towns take steps to address local water usage we should take a moment to appreciate this chart. Courtesy of the NOAA, the image plots the 24-month average amount of precipitation in New Hampshire for the past 120 years.
Notice anything? Notice a few things?
First, after ten years of sometimes record-setting above average annual rainfall (2003 to 2013), we’ve taken a few years off. And it’s not the first time this has happened.

It’s not supposed to be Press Release Day, but this one caught my eye. Carol SEIU-Porter is the Democrat candidate for the US House in NH district one who many years ago, showed up everywhere for everything to get elected to office. Now, I guess, she and her party just assume she is entitled to it because she doesn’t show up to anything.

Is Shea-Porter Running For Congress?
CONTACT: Team Guinta
Info@teamguinta.com
Yesterday, Carol Shea-Porter declined an opportunity to debate with Bernie Sanders-inspired Shawn O’Connor and Republican Frank Guinta on Jack Heath’s WGIR Radio program in Manchester.
This is the third time in 10 days the former congresswoman has refused an opportunity to tell Granite Staters where she stands on highly important topics. On Monday, Shea-Porter skipped the Bi-State Primary Care Association’s Forum, and last week refused to accept Guinta’s challenge to allow all candidates to participate in upcoming debates.
Donald Trump is no Ronald Reagan, but when it comes to press and polling, they’ve got something in common. Dr. Matt Briggs (Ph.D. is statistics) and I discuss how the press treated Reagan in 1980 and how it may have affected polling before that election, then compare that to the press impact on potential Trump … Read more
