@JaxAlemany – feel free to contact us. Hey, come on GrokTALK! and tell us what you think! Let us figure out if you are an honest reporter or one of those “Democrats with a byline”.
Jodi Gilman Jones of ‘Portsmouth’ New Hampshire, wants MoveOn members to sign a petition that says…”With all the violence today and accidents involving guns, why do we need citizens to carry concealed weapons without a permit? Shouldn’t we be trying to increase gun safety?”
This is what happens when you step repeatedly in steaming piles of MoveOn.org.
Greg Moore asks why is it remarkable that congress passed a budget? Is it even more remarkable that what “passes” for a budget might someday be balanced? We also talk about budget priorities, tax reform, business taxes, and more. Listen to the entire podcast here Follow us on YouTube,USTREAM, Facebook, and Twitter …and take us … Read more
After only three months on the job, Elissa Voccola is no longer the executive director of the New Hampshire Republican Party, WMUR.com has learned. Party sources said Voccola’s last day on the job was Friday and the parting was by mutual agreement.
Hmm, that’s pretty much code speech of “resign and we go easy else we quote The Donald”.
Voccola, 26, joined the NHGOP in early February after serving as executive director of the Connecticut Republican Party since mid-2013…While in Connecticut, Voccola reportedly had open disagreements with 2014 gubernatorial nominee Tom Foley on hiring, allocation of resources and fundraising. It’s unclear if any similar problems led to her departure from the New Hampshire post.
But I’m betting DiStaso hit this dead nuts on (even as Republican Jim Rubens was on the same kick):
“Defeating Islamic terror, shrinking government, growing the economy. These are the issues that matter most. Instead, we’re debating social issues like abortion and gay rights. They’re a distraction and only help to elect Hillary. After 8 years of Obama style socialism, we need to shrink government, not let Big Government tell us how to live our lives.”
That’s from a George Pataki ad (if you don’t know, he thinks he can be the next Prez) – just ignore them, a nothing burger on the grander scheme of things. And he’s completely oblivious that Big Government IS using those issues and demanding that we live our lives accordingly. THAT is why she AND Obama are emphasizing them! Take a read
Religious beliefs – abortion, gay marriage. Change them, BANISH them, they say. Ignore them, he says – even as, for instance, gay marriage is being used to change the Law. That’s a big deal, George!
And Pataki is right there
Harry Reid: “I find it stunning that the National Football League is more concerned about how much air is in a football than with a racist franchise name that denigrates Native Americans across the country,” he said Tuesday in comments on the Senate floor. I find it stunning that the US Senate is more concerned about … Read more
Yup, to me, Joe Taxpayer, they want to spend a whole lotta money for not a whole lot of paying riders – and NONE of them will be full-boat payers, either. With all of the rail projects around the nation, be it subway, light rail, or regular rail, they just refuse to see the fiscal problems of them – especially that of the the MBTA – the system they want NH attached to. Here’s the “Anti-Planner” with some stuff from California’s woe-in-progress for its “desperately needed” high speed rail. I generally don’t repost an entire post, but I just couldn’t figure out what parts that could be left out without “losing the story” (emphasis mine):
California Representative Nancy Pelosi famously told Congress it would have to pass the Obamacare bill to find out what it said. Now California officials are telling residents they will have to spend tens of billions of dollars building the San Francisco-Los Angeles high-speed rail line to find out how much a ticket will cost. As one official says, “We will not know until late in the game [meaning after the line is built] how everything will turn out.”
Can you say “man-made disaster”? Who the heck does that kind of thing without figuring out the costs?? No entrepreneur I know – but politicians, yes, those self-assured incompetents, certainly know “it’ll all work out in the end”. Question is, whose “end” is going to get reamed? Not theirs, I bet….
Yes, true human Jettiness. Yes, I asked TMEW if I could try it. Yes, with a bit of merriment shining out from my eyes. Yes, I got exactly what I thought I would from her – “the Look”. She was not amused (but I was!). (H/T: C/NET)
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it has obtained records from the Department of the Air Force revealing that Vice President Joe Biden’s September 3, 2014, trip to the Portsmouth, NH, Naval Shipyard, where he campaigned for Democrat Senate and House candidates, cost taxpayers $17,025 in flight expenses alone. Shaheen, who was running for re-election, accompanied … Read more

On Thursday, May 14, the New Hampshire State Senate will be taking up two important bills. HB 403 would repeal the current unconstitutional Abortion Buffer Zone law here in NH. This bill passed the NH House and NHRTL is calling for our State Senate to support this repeal.
In July 2014, the US Supreme Court voted down the Massachusetts Buffer Zone law as unconstitutional. The NH law is strikingly similar and is already being challenged in the court system. By repealing this law, the NH State Senate would save the NH taxpayer potentially millions of dollars in litigation costs while supporting our First Amendment rights.
In addition, the Senate will be voting on HB 560,
The Free State Project may soon be leaving NH. http://t.co/xNMQa3QZrd

Yeah, she certainly made it clear, this highly Progressive “activist” (who does troll here from time to time). Since there is a candidate in Poland who is vying for the Presidency on what I would call a very strange and disturbing platform:
Polish presidential candidate Janusz Korwin-Mikke explains his plans to scrap all benefits, legalise child pornography and stop women from voting, as Poland votes for a new president
Oh, I get it – she just believes that all Libertarians MUST be obscene because
I don’t know. This is new. (Politico) At a townhall event Monday for Rand Paul in Londonderry, New Hampshire, the Kentucky senator’s political director for the state, David Chesley, licked the camera of a tracker sent by American Bridge, a left-leaning opposition research group. H/T JP Marzullo
“A government education system is basically incompatible with the values of a free society. Eventually, one or the other must go.”
The media has overwhelmingly blamed Pamela Gellar for the violence that resulted in the deaths of two terrorists in Garland Texas. The thesis is thus: knowing full well that Islamic terrorists could be offended by anyone drawing a picture of their prophet any gathering to further promote or celebrate that end should be expected to … Read more
KEEP IT ZIPPED: Is a New Hampshire town trying to silence an outspoken critic by limiting what he can put on social media?
