After Joe Biden invented the executive branch authority of blanket student loan amnesty, several states sued. They weren’t grinches; what Biden did was illegal and unconstitutional. A judge in Texas just agreed with them.
The Bluebeard and Redbeard Parties
Explaining the election results to the grandkids (ages 9 and 7), I decided to use a metaphor.
Jade Wood (NH GOP Area 5 Vice-Chair): Do You Want to Play a Game of Thermonuclear Warfare? I Obliged.
As with many wars, this one started slowly and then gained velocity and I’m tired of being polite, especially the superficial kind that we often see in politics. And especially with those that use the “passive-aggressive” throwing shade “just” this side of obnoxious.
A Day for the Veterans
Today is set aside to show gratitude to every man or woman who has donned the uniform. Today we put aside talking about the 535 elected officials who work at the Capitol in Washington, D.C., and give thanks to every man and woman who chose to serve and protect this incredible country.
Everyone Is Claiming Vermonters Voted to Protect Abortion, But That’s Not What the Amendment Says
This is one of those stories that keeps coming around. Vermont Proposition 5 added Article 22 to the State Constitution. Voters overwhelmingly approved what was billed as an abortion protection amendment, but it doesn’t say that.
Thanksgiving: One Third Are Having Pizza; 26% Are Going to Skip It (Too Expensive!)
There’s a lot of economic misery out there, represented in new research “commissioned by digital wealth management company Personal Capital” that suggests one-in-four Americans are skipping Thanksgiving because they can’t afford it.”
Quick Thought: Red Tsunami to Barely a Red Ripple. Blood-letting has started with Douglas Lambert (for cause)
I, along with a lot of Conservatives (and a whole lot of Republicans – see what I did there?) are sorely surprised and very disappointed at the results – certainly here in NH.
College Students in NH Admit They Have More Voting Rights Than True Granite Staters
The November 2022 midterm elections are fading into history, but the problems with how New Hampshire carries them out have not. The law is not only unfair, but it also creates rights for out-of-state college kids that actual NH residents do not have.
Data Point – The Secret of Success
The Right often says that achievement of success is a bit of luck, education, and hard work. The Left says that “Society” robs the poor by the “rich” cheating and stealing their “opportunities”. Here’s a chart that shows it differently:
US Senate Race in Georgia has a Familiar Late-Night Vote Spike for Democrat Raphael Warnock
We saw a lot of this in 2020, and there’s no denying it has happened again. The US Senate race in Georgia between Herschel Walker and Raphael Warnock has all the signs of dodgy antics beginning at 9:30 PM. Out of nowhere, Warnock gets a significant vote spike.
The Mighty Sun-King Sununu Is … In Reality … An Obedient Little Puppy-Dog
So the GOP Establishment has gone into overdrive, blaming Trump for the debacle they made out of the 2022 elections. Yeah, right … it was Trump’s fault that the RNC and other GOP infrastructure just sat on their hands while Democrats built insurmountable leads during “early voting,”
The Real Reason There Was No Red Wave … COVID
I have already posted my analysis of the debacle that the 2022 midterms were for Republicans in New Hampshire. What follows applies not to New Hampshire, but to other States:
#Woke Up to This – The Miss Greater Derry Beauty Pageant Winner Is a Big Dude Named Brian
This is something you will start to see a lot more of – men (or boys) denying biological girls and women the opportunity to be crowned beauty queens. Hey, if that’s your thing, have at it, but I guess it was inevitable if you get my meaning.
Robots to Replace Teachers?
Technology is joining education for “Sustainable Development Goals” (UN, 17 Total), Data Collection, etc. under the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
NH House: Republicans 203 Democrats 197 – But Will It Hold Up?
As of this morning, Republicans retain their majority in the State House. Sununu won his fourth term, the Executive Council is 4-1 Republican, and the State Senate looks like it will be Republicans 14-10. The State House, with 400 seats, is still technically a toss-up.
Dead Democrat Re-Elected to Pennsylvania State House
Given the unusual nature of this outcome, I have to ask. Is there any chance that dead people voted for the dead Democrat who just won re-election to the Pennsylvania Statehouse?
The Definitive 2022-Election Postmortem … New Hampshire Is BLUE Hampshire
I know many of you are still clinging … desperately … to the belief that New Hampshire is a Purple State, and that there are even still some diehards who would say a Red State. But it is time for you bitter-clingers to admit what is plain to see.
Could We Do More? Yes! – Will You Help?
I’ve been at this hobby for almost fifteen years, and some things never change, like losing or underperforming elections. Yesterday was the pinnacle of a months-long storm of inbox abuse (not in a bad way). More mail, links, op-eds, or screengrabs than I could manage. Today – almost nothing.
Trying to Make Sense of a Confused Electorate
It’s the day after. This election cycle was one of the most divisive, negative spectacles I have ever witnessed. The results show how polarized we are but also how confused. Both parties were anticipating or braced for a sea change in Washington. They got a change, but not what was expected.
