Bill O’Brien was the next speaker (Speaker speaker??) at the Annual Picnic held by the Coalition of NH Taxpayers. He went from theme to theme and almost all of them aimed at the US Federal Ambassador to NH, Jeanne Shaheen. Remember her?
CNHT – The MicroInterviews: Steve Negron (candidate for Congress, NH CD-2)
It’s always fun to bump into Steve. After watching his campaign last cycle and what is developing now, I believe that “Happy Warrior” is appropriate.
Master of Ceremonies – WNTK Radio Host Keith Hansen
Every event needs a Master of Ceremonies. And the CNHT’s Old Home Day for Conservatives needs one to keep the plethora of speakers (candidates, advocacy groups) in line and on time. This year, Keith Hansen of WNTK served in that capacity.

CNHT – The MicroInterviews: former Speaker of the NH House Bill O’Brien
In addition to the main podium speakers at Saturday’s CNHT Annual Picnic, I took the chance to wrangle a number of folks that I saw to go outside and do some quick interviews.

“The Democrats’ Terrible State Budget”
Heh!
Yesterday, the NHGOP released a new ad highlighting the New Hampshire Democrat’s tax-increasing, unbalanced budget. The ad, titled “The Democrats’ Terrible Budget,” aired on WMUR yesterday and will appear on television throughout the coming weeks. The ad will also be carried on digital platforms.

Saturday was the Coalition of NH Taxpayers Annual Picnic (aka, “Old Home Day for Conservatives”) with a bunch of candidates and speakers from the conservative advocacy groups from around the State.

On-Campus Cafe Named after Che’ Guevara Won’t Tolerate Homophobia
Che Guevara, the hipster #Resistance hero of the left, imprisoned and murdered homosexuals. He killed many in the name of Communism. So, is it odd that a trendy on-campus cafe at UC San Diego named after the not so #Woke sociopath, is “sold” as a safe-space for the LGBTQA+ community?
Consensus on Abortion – No It’s Not the One Democrat’s Want to Force you to Fund
New Hampshire Democrats added a line in the budget that would allow them to use your money to fund abortion. No hearings, no testimony, no public comment, or committee votes. Because they know you’d object.
Tales from the BudComm – And so, the end of the WinniWagon series
As I reported earlier, the exorbitant fee for food trucks in Gilford are now in line with what Government should be charging for anything – just enough to cover costs and not to make a “profit” (not that government can make a “profit” – for them, it’s a surplus). But as I mentioned, I missed … Read more
“Is Fascism Right or Left?”
Yesterday I put up a “different” Notable Quote listing a few quotes by Benito Mussolini – Il Duce of Italy back in the 1930 and 1940s who aligned himself with Adolph Hitler during WWII as part of the Axis Powers. I did it because I wanted to show that Fascism is STATE oriented like the … Read more
One Year Anniversary of Janus vs AFSCME – Supreme Court: “No, unions not entitled to your money”
I was in Manchester yesterday morning for a meeting at the Americans for Prosperity/NH office. During the meeting, it came out that the one year anniversary was happening and that if anyone had anything to say, well, we’d be happy to video it. Not being used to being in front of the camera, and having … Read more
“What kind of education do people at Google have that they think religious Jews are Nazis?”
Did you know that Google thinks Jews are Nazis? Well, some Jews. Yesterday, The Hill shared some video of Texas Republican Dan Crenshaw in which he gets this curious “notion” – from internal Google emails – on the record.
CNN Almost Commits an Act of Journalism on Border Crisis™ (We’ll Fill in The Blanks)
From the “just because we know it will come up” category: division of lefties parroting vapid party talking points. The “border crisis™.” CNN’s trying to appear fair and balanced.
2019: New Hampshire “Most Patriotic State” in the Nation (How’d Your State Do?)
New Hampshire popping up on a “best of” list is not new. Best for low overall taxes, high quality of life, low poverty, outstanding health outcomes, and more recently, an excellent growing increasingly business-friendly state economy. This number one ranking for Most patriotic seems like another feather in the cap.
Burgess Owens: Democrat Party Should Pay Slavery Reparations
The Democrat majority House had a sub-committee hearing on slavery reparations. Reparations hearings and public statements are a wind-up and pitch heading into the 2020 elections. One that perhaps the Democrats should have avoided.
