Poverty – Only one way out

“Virtually everyone agrees that poverty is bad. But not everyone agrees on what should be done about it. In the video that follows, Arthur Brooks, president of the American Enterprise Institute, explains that if we want to help people get out of poverty, there’s really only one way to do it. This ain’t that: “Getting things … Read more

Windham NH Town Meeting – HiJinks over the School Board elections?

Is this the rise of the Good Ole’ Boy network fighting against those that have brought Big Flashlights to dark corners? Take a listen to this segment from GirardAtLarge with current Windham School Board members Ken Eyring and Tom Murray: In reading Kimberly’s piece, it does seem that there is mischief abounding – and elections are … Read more

Is it Constitutional for NH AG’s to interfere with local elections officers?

I have a question for voter fraud deniers. It is pretty simple.

On November 8, 2016 a black man entered the Hooksett polling place just as the Hooksett Moderator had announced the polls closed. After some discussion about that issue the Moderator let him vote. He used his Florida driver’s license number, not license, as ID to vote and used the address of 65 Farmer Rd. where he does not reside.

On several occasions the NH AG’s Office has sent a bulletin to all NH election officials telling them that under no conditions is a person to be prevented from registering to vote (see after the jump). The letter was first generated in several elections ago by then Assistant AG Steven LaBonte.
If this voter, Michael LaSean Lewis, had been prevented from voting did he have a case for discrimination against the Town of Hooksett?
Would it be a case of “voter suppression” we hear so much about from Progressives – except this case would have a real person attached to it? Should the NH ACLU take that case?

Or do legal NH voters, as well as lawfully acting election officials, have a

Wage Gap – Feminist myth? The “Factual Feminist” thinks so

Christina Hoff-Sommers, “the factual feminist” has a good question: “If, for the same work, women only make 77 cents for every dollar a man makes, why don’t businesses hire only women?” In fact, a feminist organization’s own research found that the wage gap is 6.6 cents when factoring in these choices that men and women … Read more

Women’s Defense League of NH – 3rd Annual Gun Rally

Man, it was downright FREEZING yesterday at the event on the State Capital building’s steps.  Sunny, sure – but boy was that wind biting at 8 degrees!  First time in my life I’ve been double and triple layered and still had to activate handwarmers in my deep winter mittens.  And I wasn’t the only one.  With all that, however, there was a hardy band of folks (larger than I thought, given the cold) that came out to celebrate the restoration of an unfettered Constitutional Right:

[Art.] 2-a. [The Bearing of Arms.] All persons have the right to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves, their families, their property and the state.

With the passage of SB12, for the first time since the discriminatory law was passed mid-last century, NH residents now have the ability to exercise that right without having to ask “Mommy, may I?”. Let me add, in watching this process from the outside, the WDLNH deserves a LOT of the credit for that with a MASSIVE of background work done in crafting the bill, finding sponsors, getting like minded legislators aligned with it, and cajoling others on the fence, and unloading on those that outright despise the idea that law abiding citizens should, GASP!, have their Liberty in this area restored (and with no amount of lying about it – right NH Chiefs of Police and Zandra Rice-Hawkins?).  Here are the opening remarks:

WDLNH 3rd Annual Gun Rally – Part 2

Scheduled to run from noon to 2pm, the speakers showed up even in the face of less than ideal conditions (I think that everyone “joshed” the WLDNH folks with “a week late – last Saturday was in the 60s!!!” ).   Anthem (Katherine Martinez-Cormier)         Susan Olsen, WDLNH Legislative Director Pledge of Allegiance … Read more

WDLNH 3rd Annual Gun Rally – Part 3 with John Burt and Joe Hannon

Continuing on from Part 2 was NH State Representative John Burt who has been one of the most solid legislators in the NH House on the issue of restoring this foundational Right of being able to keep and bear arms.  This, to many on the Right, isn’t just about things made of metal, plastic, and … Read more

“This is the moment that Donald Trump became the President”

Remember as you read this, I was a Cruz guy.

I’ve been watching these kinds of speeches intently for the last decade and I have to say this was about the best I’ve ever seen.  Given that it was Trump, and having watched a lot of his speeches, I was amazed at its construction, his wording, and its content.  It WAS good, indeed; sufficiently so that even Van Jones, self-avowed Communist and “Green” advisor to Obama, said that this was the moment Trump became President:

…He became President of the United States in that moment. Period. There are a lot of people who have a lot of reason to be frustrated with him, to be fearful of him. But that was one of the most extraordinary moments you’ve ever seen in American politics. Period. And he did something extraordinary.

 

…But he did something tonight that you cannot take away from him. He became President of the United States.

I would have to agree.  A lot of us on the Right

Blogline of the Day – Our “Cultural Betters” ARE trying to rule the rest of us

On transgender bathroom access in schools, ruling class waging war on common sense. (H/T: Instapundit) Like this guy from the Democrat National Committee calling Trump a “Monster” and “Coward” for reversing “guidance” (under the threat of losing Fed money), taking the Feds out of the equation, and devolving that power back to the States and … Read more

Palate Cleanser – I think this is called “Comeuppance”

After years of studying and practicing Tae Kwon Do, I do like the mashup of styles known as MMA (Mixes Martial Arts – boxing, wrestling, karate, ju-jitsue, judo, and pretty much anything else thrown it  It’s the “what works for you”). That said, no matter what style you like, we call all agree: this ain’t … Read more

A reminder about how the Minimum Wage came about – and its not pretty

“As I’ve said on other occasions: compared to (most of) today’s advocates of the minimum wage, the minimum-wage’s early advocates had far worse ethics but a far better grasp of economics. These early advocates of the minimum wage correctly understood not only that the minimum wage destroys jobs for some low-skilled workers, but also that … Read more

Ben Shapiro – Schooling Students on Transgenderism

Ben Shapiro spoke to a standing room only crowd at Ferris State University in Michigan. The clip above is a part of a Q and A where he addresses issues with the idea of separating sex from gender and does it well. Near the end, the conversation shifts to abortion and contraception and again, Shapiro disarms … Read more
