The ACLU, National Action Network, Center for Popular Democracy, and others are mad at Democrats, including Chris Pappas and Annie Kuster. The US House recently advanced legislation they claim, “promises continued over-criminalization and mass incarceration of people of color.”
When I took a statistics class in college, the first book we were assigned was “How To Lie With Statistics” by Darrel Huff (1954). The focus was how numbers can be managed and massaged to seem to make them lean in the direction you would like your readers to lean.
I was sitting in a recent committee hearing at the statehouse listening to Planned Parenthood and the NH Women’s Foundation argue in favor of a Senate bill (SB 486) that would require employers in the state to cover all abortions in their health plans.
2020 is shaping up to be a hard lesson for the political elites. If the Bernie Juggernaut keeps this momentum the candidates of choice will both be non-establishment outsiders. The Democrats, of course, will do all in their power to keep Bernie off their ticket. But what does that look like?
The gun-grabbers in the New Hampshire legislature have advanced a compromise bill. That’s what they’d call it. It forces a three-day waiting period on the purchase of firearms by law-abiding citizens. Felons, who don’t have to wait were pushing for the seven-day waiting period.
NHGOP Chairman Steve Stepanek joined us on Radio Row to talk about state and national politics, the NH Primary, and the looming November Elections.
Rejecting the $46 million public charter school grant could cost taxpayers up to $178 million over the next ten years, according to a new report from the New Hampshire Department of Education. Rejecting these funds would be a costly mistake that New Hampshire families cannot afford, fiscally or in terms of the opportunity for students … Read more
I am not at all offended by the campaign logo of US Senate candidate (from Maine) Bre Kidman. I find it refreshing. The logo for the Democrat challenger for the seat currently held by Part-Time Republican Susan Collins is a guillotine.
As a member of the Virginia Citizens Defense League, Rick Goodman has led a grassroots effort in his county to have Prince William County established as a Constitutional County by resolution of the Board of Supervisors in late 2019.
NHGOP Vice-Chair Pam Tucker joined us on Radio Row in Manchester to talk Presidential Primary and local and national politics.
We Are Live (Tuesday!) from Radio Row at the DoubleTree Hotel in downtown Manchester. We’ll be here All Day (out final day) on Radio Row, with a variety of “talkers” manning our table along with various Local and National guests all day long.
My first take on the State of the Union was that Nancy screwed up. Tearing up the speech was terrible optics. A speech loaded with good news (in particular) for women and minorities. Pelosi tore it up and team Trump is making Democrats pay a price.
CACR 14 was a proposed amendment to the NH Constitution. Its sponsors wanted to enshrine reproductive rights (abortion) into a document they barely know and often ignore. But for some reason, they figured it would keep us from messing with it.
Democrats are bitter clingers. Not Max Klinger, though there could have been a man in that congressional audience wearing women’s white. No, I mean bitter clingers. Bitter the way a child glares at someone else who has the toy they say they wanted.
The State Police issued a BOLO (be on the lookout) for a small white sedan with Massachusetts plates and a Bernie for President sticker on it. It is reported that three black males are wanted for an armed home invasion in Bow, New Hampshire. They were reportedly armed with a rifle, a shotgun, and a … Read more
Now that the Democrats have lost what was billed as a Bellwether special election, the narrative will be “actually, it didn’t matter.” It was a Republican seat in a district Trump won by 10 points. Okay, then why did the Left dump gobs of cash to try and flip it if it didn’t matter?
The second public hearing for HB 1251, the “Save Women’s Sports Bill” is scheduled for Tuesday, February 4 at 1 pm in the House Education Committee in the Legislative Office Building (LOB), Room 207. Only those who signed up to testify at the first hearing and didn’t have a chance to speak will be allowed to testify.
Did Governor Sununu think the 22,000 pro-gun, constitution-loving people who showed up in Virginia were actually supporters of anti-gun legislation, or does he think, like governor Northam, that we no longer matter?
Shortly after last year’s NHGOP Annual Meeting, I wrote a post entitled Identity Politics on the NHGOP eBoard. The accompanying photo cited George Orwell: All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
We see this just like the Platform fights – a stark difference to make and a question to be answered: who is the Party for? Is it for the perennial NH GOP Elites, or is it for the rank-and-file delegates, activists, and voters?
