The Party of “blue collar workers” no more? Thanks, Democrats

December 23, 2019December 23, 2019 Skip

I don’t think that Biden’s answer was all that well thought out – but very much in line with how Democrats feel about fossil fuel regardless of its importance to our economy now. After all, there is that old saying “you can’t make omelettes without breaking a few eggs”; Biden made it clear that even … Read more

December 23, 2019December 23, 2019 Skip

FDR, Collusion, and Impeachment

December 23, 2019December 23, 2019 Op-Ed

In 1940 Franklin D. Roosevelt sought an unprecedented third term as President. But while his first two elections were landslides, the political landscape had changed. Americans were inherently troubled by the notion of an entitled presidency and a measure of “Roosevelt fatigue” set in.

BlogThought of the Day to Progressives – what is mine… Right NH State Rep Rosemarie Rung of Merrimack?

Thought for today, week, month, year, decade, eternity: Your “Fair Share” Is Not In My Wallet!!! (H/T: Tom) Democrat Socialists / Progressives (but I repeat myself) have no other idea that “Fair Share” can actually mean that.

Meet Tulsi Gabbard Friday in Hollis, New Hampshire – Lawrence Barn

December 22, 2019 Steve MacDonald

No, I’m not a Tulsi Gabbard fan (beyond her Kamala Campaign destroying superpower). Harris has a long and well-connected history to socialists and communists in America. She should never be President. But Gabbard is still a Democrat. Having said that, so what.

December 22, 2019 Skip

Pledge of Allegiance (to the United States) – how has this become so controversial? Across the blogosphere, we’ve seen college groups, city councils, Democrat committees, local group, all reject saying what is “I continue to pledge my fealty to the United States.”

Incredible that the Left treats animals better than some kids

December 22, 2019 Skip

We see this “mis-attention” all the time. For instance, we’ve all heard the Left wail about kids crossing the border were housed in cages – a practice blamed on Trump but started by Obama. More locally, NH State Rep Katherine Rogers is all in for not allowing cats to be declawed (HB1387) and acting as … Read more

December 22, 2019

There has been nothing in American history that compares to the current ongoing coup. This is not an impeachment. It definitely is an attack against the President. It has been nothing but an abuse of the Constitution. The action says more about those prosecuting than those defending.

NH Schools: Getting out of our own way

December 22, 2019 Ian Underwood

Today, NH Commissioner of Education Frank Edelblut published an insightful editorial, in which he argued that the education establishment seems more interested in promoting the illusion of change, than in making actual substantive changes. In support of that, he mentioned some of the changes that he’s tried to make during his time at the Department of Education, and how they have been torpedoed by those vested in continuing with the current system.

December 22, 2019December 22, 2019 Steve MacDonald
