Today Governor Hassan sent out a fundraising pitch in which she doubles down on her support for the continuation of state-sanctioned discrimination, racism and gender bias. In her email, she claims Senate Bill 116 is a “radical right-wing bill” and claims it would allow just “anyone” to carry concealed without a license.

Obama said,  “I think it is important for us to recognize the threat of violent extremism is not restricted to any one community. Here in the United States, we’ve all kinds of home grown terrorism. And tragically, recent history reminds how even a single individual can inflict horrendous harm on Americans. So our efforts to counter violent extremism must not target any one community, because of the patriotic Muslim Americans who are partners in keeping our country safe.”

He talks about religious freedom but his actions have defied his words when it comes to the US majority religion, Christianity? And once again we see him simply brush aside the attacks that Muslims have inflicted on American soil; it almost like he wants to whitewash history.  In fact, there are quite a few Muslim attacks going back a few decades:

“The three rules of journalism are 1. Mislead, 2. Misinform, and 3. Misdirect. The news serves to sever you from reality and keep you in Fantasy Land.” ? Jarod Kintz

Senate Bill 116 was destined for the veto pen. While some will call me negative and pessimistic, I rather think I am being realistic. We’ve seen this pattern before…Like Deja Vu all over again. You have a so-called Republican-dominated Senate….Republican-dominated house, and twelve Republicans who voted no. Most Dems voted no…we knew that…But a few voted yes. At the end of the day, there exists no veto-proof majority. Thus, the bill dies.

One degree of difference

Paul Moreno over at American Spectator has a post whose title didn’t do all that much for me but the subtitle did:   Progressives succeeded where the Confederates failed.  While to most of the population, the Civil War was about slavery, it really was about differing interpretations of the Constitution.  And the desire to take those differing interpretations from a war of ideology and economics to a war of weapons.

The real battle, however, never stopped as the foreign political philosophy called Progressivism (really, just a rebranding from Socialism) moved from Europe to America and took over the role that the South had had in trying to subvert and make irrelevant our foundation as a nation.  Here are the ‘graphs that caught my eye (emphasis mine):

..The Civil War ended slavery and seemed to vindicate the principles of the Declaration, as Lincoln so ably articulated them in the Gettysburg Address. But it was only a few decades before a new generation, the “progressives,” renewed the war on the Declaration and succeeded where the Confederates failed. The progressives aspired to give America a European-style welfare state, and they knew that the principles of natural rights found in the Declaration and the Constitution stood in their way.

They also realized that religious beliefs and strong family bonds were impediments as well.  Ask yourself:

While I have a few folks that I am watching (and quite partial to one), I will have to say that I have not decided on The One for my expensive vote.  In the meantime, as these silly seasons get really boring, I am glad to see that the “anti-candidate” Donald Trump is just letting go.  What the rest of the field seems to not recognize is that there is a lot of anger in the right side of the Party.  They / me DO see our traditional country disappearing under the shoving that both the Hard Left Progressives are giving – and the Establishment / Ruling / Political class is giving it mere lip-service at best.  The latter couch their words in political correctness, triangulated with focus groups and hemmed in by that identity group vs another.

Translation: nuanced to the hilt to the point of being gibberish now and unaccountable later.

New Hampshire governor Maggie Hassan has vetoed SB116 – Constitutional Carry.

From our own Kimberly Morin…

In Hassan’s press release she states that anyone who is discriminated against will be able to seek recourse through the court system. This shows that indeed she knows discrimination occurs but chose to continue to allow it. Unfortunately not every person who is discriminated against has the means to seek recourse. Lawyers and lawsuits are expensive and time consuming.

The Governor’s complete remarks on the jump.

This is one of those Life Magazine ‘Year in Pictures’ moments.  Where life imitates…well, life. A physical representation of ‘controlling the message.’

Hillary Clinton, incapable of unscripted dialogue, has her staffers march the parade route–at a safe distance–with ropes to keep the press from getting too close while her highness mingled with a few peasants.

As Twitchy reported earlier, candidate Hillary Clinton was hit with some pretty tough questions at a campaign event in New Hampshire yesterday during a vulnerable moment while she was waiting to be served some ice cream. TheBlaze’s Oliver Darcy even reports that a photographer asked Clinton what her favorite flavor of ice cream was.

Steve’s post on the ludicrous position that the Press allowed themselves to be in (literally, in) by the Hillary campaign brought this thought to mind:

What, none of these dunces have an EDC setup that has sharp knife?  Or are they really that dull?

That would be Every Day Carry – stuff that you think you might need “just in case” when out of the house.  I carry a SOG jackknife – sharp sucker; would have cut that rope (probably just thin clothesline rope) in a single swipe.  But that’s beside the point.  A better question is:

Really, you lapdogs ALLOWED yourselves to look this stupid?  The Scoobie van episode wasn’t enough debasement for you?

This guy will be the butt of jokes and derision for years.  So why did they allow it to happen?

Yes, I am the guy who called out the reporterette from the Daily Beast during the media panel during the 603 Alliance Grassroots Summit for not reporting the stories that really matter – just tell us the truth, unvarnished and without bias. Not the gotcha questions or the constant ambushes of politicians.  It’s a bit different, though, (reformatted,emphasis mine):

The short-lived senator from Massachusetts wants the world to know about his new weight-loss scheme via some very strange supplements. Last night, shirtless pictures of former Senator Scott Brown appeared in my inbox.
