GrokTALK! 12-14-2013 With JR Hoell

In Segment Two JR Hoell is dialed in to discuss a desire to ensure that the ‘Brown’ RINO remains an extinct species in NH. Yes, we talk about Scott Brown, the NHGOP embrace, primaries, Senate candidates, gun-rights, and most importantly–the December 19th Rally (organized by gun rights and fish and game groups from across the … Read more

Hmm, even the Boston Herald sees a massive problem for Scott Brown here in NH

And for once, we’re not the main cause –  merely willing hands (emphasis mine):

It’s not Brown’s carpetbagging that poses the biggest obstacle, although New Hampshire voters are much more skeptical of outsiders than Bay Staters. Nor is Brown’s biggest problem his faulty internal GPS, which at times causes him to speak of the “people here in Massachuse-” during Granite State appearances. Even Shaheen’s high popularity numbers wouldn’t be Brown’s biggest roadblock.

Above all, Brown would have a very hard time convincing voters that he loves the Second Amendment as much as they do. After sitting on the fence on the issue of gun control for most of his last Senate campaign, he was outed as a gun control advocate by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who cited Brown’s stance as the reason for endorsing and fundraising for him. After the Newtown shootings, Brown went farther, voicing support for a federal ban on assault weapons.

By that time Brown was no longer on any ballot, and he didn’t face the wrath of the National Rifle Association. The NRA largely stayed out of Brown’s previous election battles as well, in part because of the People’s Pledge, but more so because the NRA doesn’t care what the Massachusetts electorate does. But the same cannot be said in New Hampshire, where the issue of gun control is a political powder keg.

GrokTALK! Getting All Kinds of Attention…

The irony of this is not lost on me.  Think Progress posted a reference to our GrokTALK! interview with NH House Rep JR Hoell, regarding Scott Brown and how Senator Brown’s position on guns may be great for Massachusetts but it is non-starter in the Granite State. More than a few media outlets take their … Read more

Has Peter Sullivan Apologized To Marilinda Garcia Yet?

Role Models

Has Democrat Peter Sullivan apologized to Marilinda Garcia yet?  Have the women (and men) in the New Hampshire Democrat party denounced Peter Sullivan yet for his sexist and objectifying remarks?

I don’t think they have.  And that is ironic considering this from the national Democrat Mother-ship…

Tell Republicans: Stop enabling Rhetoric that condones Sexual harassment.

They’ve got a page and some words, and you can sign up and they’ll data collect you, ask for money, spam you…and wait- Words.

I can work with words.  Here are the DNC’s words with a few of my edits… approaching something closer to reality.

Is THIS Why NH Democrats Want to Expand Medicaid So Badly…?

medicade- Looks refreshing, but always comes back to haunt you laterAre rules in the ACA that punish older married couples designed to drive them to divorce so that they end up on Medicaid,  so that the government can then fleece their estates after death?  It is starting to look that way.

Medicaid (the government/States) can charge the estate of a deceased Medicaid recipient to recover costs of care incurred prior to death before survivors may then distribute any remaining property or savings.  But most current recipients do not have much in the way of property for the state to confiscate.  If you are erecting a massive Health Care edifice, you’re going to need more cash to pay for it.  So what do you do?

You write rules into your partisan legislation that drive people into a program that then creates revenue streams without people necessarily realizing it.  That program?  Medicaid Expansion.

“Whale Wars” Republicans? Yes – but which one?

Or “why does the Republican Party keep acting like Captain Luis Manuel Pinho?”

Translation: “Are you willing to die to save the life of a whale?”

So which Captain do we see in the Establishment Republican wing of the Party?

I have to admit that I’ve been watching this “reality show” for quite some time.  Whether or not you want to save whales, or even the politics of the thing, I watch if for no other reason to see if the Japanese were finally going to go” all ninja” on these self-righteous bullies whose morality allow them to attempt to or actually destroy other peoples’ private property to advance their agenda. Not, too, that they are far to easy to call themselves “Victims!” when the bullied retaliate (must have taken lessons from Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton; that white boy Paul Watson can’t jump but can learn Democrat political theory). Anyways, for his antics over the years Watson is now in the legal dinghy in a roiling see – Ninth Circuit has ruled against Sea Shepherd USA and Interpol has warrants out for him.

Thus “sidelined”, a “non-entity,” but with the addition of a new ship (irony: a former Japanese whaler) that allowed two new Captains to step up “for the mission”:

  • Captain Luis Manuel Pinho – a history of being a commercial captain, in charge of M/V Sam Simon (purchase monies given by the Simpson’s Exec producer, Sam Simon)
  • Captain Peter Hammarstedt – a 29 year old (a save the whaler since 14), in charge of M/V Bob Barker (purchase monies given by game show host Bob Barker)

Let’s apply this to the current Republican Civil War – which kind of Captain do we really want?

Another incoherent answer by CongressCritter Annie Kuster “on the Middle East” – Negotiating with Palestinians? Really?

When I first listened to this, I had no idea what to post about it – absolutely incoherent of an answer.  At least on her Benghazi answer, she had the good sense to say pretty much nothing.  Here, you can tell that what’s she believes is not what she can say to this audience (or, once again, absolutely totally unprepared).  Long pauses, obvious searching for words (not even the “right words” but ANY words that can constitute “an answer” without saying not much at all.

All I can come up with is “After all, Israel just can’t pick itself up and go somewhere else, right?”    Here’s my transcript – maybe you can figure out her non-answer of a non-answer:

A Politically Incorrect question, if I might

It is well known that President Obama hates the TEA Party.  Hates Rush Limbaugh.  Hates Americans for Prosperity.  Hates Club for Growth.  Hates the Senate Conservatives Fund. Hates Citizens United. Hates Eagle Forum. Hates Heritage and Heritage Action.  Hates Traditional Values Coalition.  Hates the National Rifle Association.  Hates Fox News.  Hates ALEC, Concerned Women for … Read more

Draft Andrew Hemingway for NH Governor

A Facebook page popped up, either late yesterday or last night, to “Draft Andrew Hemingway” to run for Governor of New Hampshire.  George Lambert, who had to drop out for health reasons (we talk about it briefly here-begining of the show) brought up Bill O’Brien’s name when speaking with the press about his decision.  Andrew’s … Read more

Here’s Income Inequality for You!

Show me the Money!?  Here it is.  DC to real world “Income inequality” since Democrats took control of Congress in 2006; and then add Obama and Boom!  (and all during the worst recession in US history?  Isn’t that what the Democrats called it?)  No recession in DC.  It’s good times! At least now you know…they … Read more

Personal Responsibility v. Abortion Pop Quiz – Hot Shot!

One of the things that abortion supporters (of every pro-abortion political persuasion) refuse to accept or acknowledge is that the only reason they are even here to support abortion today is because their mom didn’t choose to end their life in the womb when they had the choice. Make all the excuses you want, that … Read more

David Seastrand To Face Civil Lawsuit From His Most Recent Victim

Last week NH AG Joe Foster let former New London police chief off the hook for dropping the charges if young women he was going to arrest would pose nude for him.  There are only four cases we know of, though I think we can guess that there were quite a few more, something that could come up in the recently announced civil trial…

Union Leader

The original complainant against Seastrand, Colby Sawyer College student Janelle Westfall, will file a civil suit against him this week, according to her lawyer, Richard J. Lehmann of Concord.

Exactly What They Were looking For…Federal Judge Uses Gay Marriage to Repeal Ban on Polygamy

The people driving the gay marriage movement have, for years, been very honest about their intentions.  End marriage as an institution.  Demanding marriage rights for homosexual couples was always just a step toward that greater goal.

Sorry gay couples who thought “they” really cared about your feelings or believed you had a right to marriage.   They want to destroy the rite altogether.  They just used you to advance their agenda.

And now, much sooner than I expected, the next shoe has already dropped in the war on marriage.  A Federal judge in Utah just struck down the state’s polygamy law as unconstitutional, basing his decision on…(drum-roll) the justification for same sex marriage.

How ironic is that?

Herr Obama und Frau Sebelius Roll Out Health Care Fascism For Real

Forbes …Thursday, December 12 will stand as one of the most lawless acts yet committed by this administration. The White House—having canceled Americans’ old health plans, and having botched the system for enrolling people in new ones—knows that millions of Americans will enter the new year without health coverage. So instead of actually fixing the problem, … Read more

Large Bovine Herds Responsible for Medieval Global Warming

Credit: grist.org

Okay, that’s not true. Nobody’s making that claim , at least not yet. But I expect something just as ridiculous will spurt forth from the warm mongers to explain away the Swedish study that found that the Earth was warmer during the Roman and Medieval periods.

It’s tough these days to be a warm-monger- sky-is-melting-climate-alarmist. With the coldest temperature ever recorded just a few days ago, snow blanketing the middle east, snow in Egypt, and nearly “…three feet of snow closed roads in and out of Jerusalem”, what’s a warm monger to think? His entire argument is collapsing under the weight of empirical evidence. Evidence that is hard to refute.  It may be refutable, but one thing is certain, the science isn’t settled.  The debate is real, legitimate and endures.  And the pile of that evidence and science, unfavorable to the warm mongers, is getting higher, consider this new study, from TheDC

When a Domestic Terror Plot Is Not News….

LOEWEN-TERRY-WEBPICTerry Loewen, self-proclaimed Muslim Jihadist who called Osama bin Laden a brother, tried to use his employment at an Airport to cause maximum death and carnage in the name of Allah.

I find it interesting that this is not getting a lot of attention.  A Google search produced only one first page results for any of the typcial left wing rah-rah media or their Democrat party progressive feeding tubes, none of whom are milking this.

The majority of hits are for local Kansas media, but something called NBC investigations has a very unbiased report of the event 8 links from the top of page one.

And I think I know why…
