Remember he said: I have no feeling for the electorate anymore. It is not responding the way it used to. Their priorities are so different that if I tried to analyze it I’d be making it up. Add to it, this which was said before yesterday’s NH Primary: GOPe Hack Sununu: “If Trump Only Wins … Read more
A while ago, the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon was taken over by a number armed farmers and their supporters in their attempt to protest the treatment of two local farmers accused of malfeasance on Federal land. This has been a well publicized event so I’m not going to blog the details as they … Read more
Some of you may have seen the Project Veritas video released this morning showing their investigator journalists, who were posing as out-of-state campaign workers, being coached and offered information on how to vote illegally in NH.
Remember, this is a Federal Election, not a town meeting or state election. Federal law prohibits interstate voting – no matter what NH election officials, the NH AG, or Secretary of State say.
Pay close attention to the phrase “duly qualified resident.” It is the same requirement imposed by every significant domicile court case.
PBS NewsHour included me in a story (full interview here) but before that, political reporter Lisa Desjardins joined us for a spirited discussion. Check it out.
Yup, those jolly jesters of the “poke them in their political eyes” genre of investigative journalism have done it again. Here. In New Hampshire. During the First In the Nation Primary. Did I mention “Again”? Yep, James O’Keefe and his compatriots are showing us, once again, that the “thing that cannot happen here in NH” actually can be done thanks to clueless (or better put, hyper-partisan) election officials more excited about helping “their side” than protecting The Rule of Law.
Take a gander:
So, will former NH Assistant AG Dick Head come out of retirement to track James O’Keefe down? Will he (or his replacement) be having someone knocking on Grokster Mike’s door? Will the newest version of “the manila envelope” open up and spill my picture on the ground? Stay tuned for this riveting second round of the parody “Vote, vote, who is stealing our votes!”.
In the meantime, here’s a bit of a transcript – and it TRULY is very sad. If we cannot trust government workers to obey the law, see to it that the laws are faithfully kept both in the Letter as well in Spirit of it, well, why should we little people have to follow it? The Rule of Law is only effective when it applies to ALL. But the transcript showing that those that would want to break the Law have willing co-conspirators in those that should be shouting “Hey, I need Law Enforcement here!”
From Susan Olsen c/o Facebook…The House votes on HB1696, Expanded Medicaid today. Get ready… And yes, I may well make it my mission to help unseat every Republican that votes to pass this. Every. Republican.
Yessir, they be all over this incipient broad based tax barrelling down the tax tracks. So, tell me – HOW is he a part of the “Smaller Government, lower taxes Party”? Actually, where has that Party gone? (H/T: Susan)
That would be both Chris Christie AND Carly Fiorina – after really disappointing results (and blowing millions of bucks), they have dropped out of the race seeking the Presidency. TMEW asked me about Carly as she had boasted that she was going all the way as recently as last night; all I could do is shrug my shoulders and go “that’s politics”.
Ladies first – message from Carly:
From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for everything you’ve done for this campaign. For standing with me, for fighting with me. For your generosity, for your support, and for your faith. Thank you.
This past Saturday we had Lisa Dejardines on GrokTALK! – it wasn’t clear to me at the start what we were supposed to talk about but it sure was a lot of fun and on some deep issues (we’ve asked her to come back if her Bosses will let her). However, the main reason she was in studio was to do an interview with Steve which will run during the NH First In The Nation Primary this Tuesday.
UPDATE: we held this post until PBS could run their tonite. That has now aired.
Take a listen – I think it was a very well done interview on both sides of the camera. Unsure how much time he will have during the actual piece but in staying with my mantra of “video everything” (especially with journalists), here is the uncut video from the entire time (just split into two pieces – all material is there).
After anticipating a devastating loss in the NH Primary, Hillary’s 2016 campaign plans to reveal a new initiative that is expected to play well with her base: replacing Old Glory. Out of many possible replacements expected to be well received by the Democrat constituency with the goal of galvanizing her campaign are the Rainbow Flag, … Read more
On a 5-4 vote the US Supreme Court has blocked implementation of the Presidents Clean Power Plan while legal challenges work their way through the courts. Let us hope that the legal system drags this one out until at least the end of January 2017. If the GOP doesn’t screw this election up we might … Read more
I previously posted the full interview that Lisa Dejardins, Political Director for the PBS News Hour, conducted with Steve. Her piece, talking about the different factions within the NH GOP in the run up to today’s primary, is here. Steve’s interview, quite short, starts with some B-roll on the front end that they shot during … Read more
Given the Iowa results and now his disappointing finish (8% with 75% of the vote in), NJ Governor Chris Christie is going home to NJ tomorrow and to talk over the what’s what with him, the lack of positive results, the aspect of going forward, and I bet, campaign funding. And, oh yeah, he’s bumped … Read more
With 89% of the vote in, 266 out of 300 precincts reporting, Donald Trump walks away with New Hampshire. That’s not news. We knew that by mid day. So where are the real stories? Record turnout? Bernie Sanders crushing Hillary Clinton 60% to 38% is a huge punch in the neck for the Shaheen cartel and … Read more
Jeb Bush: “My pledge to you: When I’m president I will not blame Barack Obama for a single thing,” he told listeners at the Nashua Country Club in Nashua, N.H. “The day that I’m sworn into office, I’m on watch — whatever it is.”
Sorry Jeb!, this doesn’t make it. Much of the malaise of the country is due directly to Obama’s policies that have festered for the last 7 years and for the last two (and the remaining one), he’s only stepped harder on the accelerator in transforming America for the worst.
