Alcohol May Have Been a Factor. You Think?

I’m not sure how bad your day has to be for you to drive drunk into the Contoocook River. But having WMUR share this picture of you as part of their coverage can’t have helped. “Hey Ashley, I saw you on the news last night.” Ashley Gordon escaped from her sinking vehicle, cell phone in hand, … Read more

Military K9 Handler dishes on the “real” Hillary Clinton

Seems to jive well with accounts of Secret Service, other military, and former employees that had “up close and personal” encounters with Hildabeast – all cheery and lightness when the cameras are around and a loathsome person when they aren’t but the “little people” (who are there to protect and serve) are. Eric Bonner, a … Read more

Jeanie Forrester is lying about her record on Obamacare

jeanieforrester

Yesterday Jeanie Forrester, candidate for governor in the Republican primary and current New Hampshire State Senator, signed the Americans for Prosperity Pledge. The pledge states that the signers will cut taxes and fees; cut spending and government; pass Right-to-Work and oppose all forms of Obamacare in New Hampshire. It also states that the signer will uphold both the New Hampshire Constitution and the United States Constitution.

Forrester claims she is the “only conservative” running in the Republican primary yet she leaves out an extremely important fact about her voting record – she voted for Obamacare’s Medicaid Expansion when it was first shoved down the throats of Granite Staters back in 2014. Somehow her pledge to oppose all forms of Obamacare rings hollow. Seems Forrester was for Obamacare before it became politically expedient to be against it while running for governor.

Australian atheists irate that people claim “Jedi” as a religion

So Many Australians Are Claiming ‘Jedi’ as Their Religion That It’s Becoming a Problem

AustralianAtheistsUpsetAtJediBelieversCouldn’t happen to a better set of sad sacks.  Sure, “Jedi” might be a made up religion like Pastafaranians, but who are they to say there is no God and demand that Government disregard others?  Just so that Australia can be seen as “less religious”?  Is this proselytizing in reverse – or passive-aggressive bullying?

A battle over government, religion, and Star Wars is brewing in Australia. The country will hold their national census on August 9 and a group of people is begging their fellow citizens to not put “Jedi” down as their religion.

Here’s the problem: On the 2011 census (it takes places every five years) 64,390 Australians put “Jedi” down as their religion, an increase of from 58,053 on the 2006 census, according to The Brisbane Times. Numbers like that put “Jedi” right behind Sikh on the list of religions in the country. It seems unlikely that all these people truly believe themselves to be actual Jedi, and most of them make the claim as a harmless way to declare their Star Wars fandom and give the government the middle finger at the same time.

However, a group called the Atheist Foundation of Australia is leading a campaign to

Notable Quote – Richard Epstein

It is now possible to see how the progressive agenda thwarts the engine for growth in ways that private ingenuity finds it difficult to overcome. The initial observation is that virtually every progressive reform undermines free markets and tends to establish monopolies in labor, agriculture, and other industries. These rules frustrate the free entry into … Read more

Clinton’s Kahn Game

hillary-clinton-old-hag-3There are a few stories out there now about the row over Khizr Kahn, Trump, and the Clinton machine. This one is short and sweet, but it makes an excellent point.

The article by Rodger Stone makes some important observations that are being ignored by the media. And that is why I’m posting a chunk of that with the original links, not in defense of anyone in particular, but to expose Hillary for the corrupt freight train to hell that she represents.

By using Mr. Khan as surrogate, Hillary Clinton has attempted to hide behind her own abysmal record as both Secretary of State and a U.S. Senator.  Not only has Hillary Clinton not made the sacrifices that Mr. Khan has talked about, but she has actually profited from her public service. It’s shameful to Capt. Kahn’s memory.

For far too long, Saudi Arabia has been funding terrorism without consequences and has been actively involved in the American political process, funding people on both sides of the aisle — like Hillary Clinton and John McCain.

CNHT has been tracking and documenting voter fraud since 2000. The Carl Robert Gibson case is a prime example of how voter fraud is accepted and ignored by the parties you would normally expect to prosecute and expose it.

Carl Robert Gibson is one of many outside activists who come to NH every election cycle. At least 1,200 from Massachusetts alone came this past Presidential Primary. You can check the websites of Democrat groups in several New England states and see for yourself how they carpool here and meet up with NH campaigners.

“But we can’t let the Democrats win!” says the lady who called me

NHGOP LogoFWIW, it said TD America for the caller ID (TMEW said “what, the bank is now getting political in this election”?

And the lady on the phone who asked for me by my real name (dead giveaway that they’re database calling) started in on this election.  I could tell though, she wasn’t the normal clerk just reading from a script when

She: I want to thank you for all that you’ve done for the Republican and I want….

Me: Don’t you know I left the Republican Party?

She: Oh, so you’ve registered as a Democrat?

Me: No, as an independent.

She: well, you still know that we can’t let the Democrats win this….

I unloaded

Data Point – this is “sustainable”?

Makers vs takers.  Producers vs moochers. Look, I’m fine with helping those that REALLY need it but too often (and I’ve been up close to them) able bodied people just milk the system.  But at what point does this break? And then ask – what happens to all those that have become very cozy in the … Read more
