Twitter kind of sucks. It’s partisan, polices speech, and you know it is but many of you can’t stop using it. But the National Republican Senatorial Committee has stopped giving them money. It has terminated its ad account. Why?
The ‘Granny D’ walk to get money out of politics in, you guessed it, Peterborough, will happen this Sunday. According to the Monadnock Ledger-Transcript,
Hillary Clinton’s campaign spent over 730 million dollars in the 2016 presidential election. That does not include any in-kind, third party expenses, or the endless positive earned media. That’s a lot of money on Hillary’s politics. And she lost. But we’re to believe that money in politics is a problem.
Social media is becoming decidedly unsociable. There is a lot of misinformation on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. But that is only one issue. Another social media issue is users scumming, snubbing, bullying or shunning one another. It is quite another when the platforms censor and control the users. It is a third when, … Read more
A few days after insiders said Mayor de Blasio “was in,” he wasn’t. Maybe we scared him off? Not to worry, the governor of Montana has decided he needs national attention. Steve Bullock has formally announced his candidacy for President.
In a recent post, I wrote about the importance of “framing the conversation.” I cited a segment on Tucker Carlson’s show in which he debated a Bernie Sanders surrogate over the Green New Deal. In response to my post, a Grok reader added some remarks in the comments section.
While the Courts and even the ACLU are still defending free speech, the campus culture is doing everything in its power to create future generations opposed to the practice. Future lawyers, jurists, politicians, even work-a-day schlubs. Beloit College offers our latest proof.
The so-called campaign finance reformers are at it again. This time they’ve got a behemoth of a bill only Rube Goldberg could love. A massive, convoluted tome that adds a mountain of rules that would only impact six political races in the entire state. The Governor’s race and the state’s five Executive Council seats. SB 304- FN-A is AN ACT … Read more
So congratulations to Steve Stepanek on his election as Chairman of the New Hampshire GOP: I don’t disagree that the New Hampshire Republican Party has a money problem. More specifically, that it cannot raise any. But money is not going to be enough to right this sinking ship. This: By patient safety zones, Planned Parenthood … Read more
Given the “complexion” of our incoming New Hampshire legislature, we should take a moment to revisit a phrase you’ll be hearing a lot more around the Granite State. “Free money.” ‘Free money’ is taxes for which (the individual using the term) did not have to “vote” to collect them. Someone else, further away and more difficult … Read more
Reposted: Originally Published May 30, 2018 A few days ago, we reported on a survey of Dartmouth student’s that questions their tolerance and diversity when it comes to dating, befriending, or just interacting with someone who has opposing political beliefs. There were no surprises. Democrats shunned the idea while Republicans were much more accepting. Further down … Read more
Steve Negron has released his first general election campaign money bomb and we invite you to participate. In an email released moments ago, Team Negron reminds us that, Congressional Candidate Steve Negron has served our country; he has already sworn an oath to protect and defend the constitution. He’s on the record stating that when … Read more
I’ve had a few things to say about free speech. More than a few. Campus “speech” is one of the more common places to land. The inclusion and diversity movements (hypocritically) invest so much time and energy limiting speech to a very narrow set of approved words and ideas that the fruit is heavy and very … Read more
Swamp Rats inside the IRS can’t leak what they don’t have. And thanks to a new rule the IRS will no longer be collecting personal donor data upfront from organizations that include (for our triggered progressive “friends”) unions and Planned Parenthood. The Treasury Department said the policy change will maintain donor disclosure requirements for traditional charity … Read more
The digital ink was barely dry on this post when what to my wandering eyes did appear but a mysteriously funded left-leaning campaign finance “reform” group attacking AFP-NH for what amounted to following Campaign Finance Laws. Open Democracy(OD) is a left-leaning affair pushing the left-leaning policy ideas of leftists activist groups and just happens to be an … Read more
Still no word from “get money out of politics” groups like Open Democracy regarding Billionaire Tom Steyer dumping three-quarters of a million dollars into New Hampshire for the last four-plus months of the 2018 Election cycle. Not that I expected as much as a peep. Steyer is, after all, one of them. He’s supporting their … Read more
Greg Moore took me by surprise with a tweet about how the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) had given UNH its highest rating for free speech. Say what?
I wonder where this handy bit of information was when the Marxist Women’s March folks were pouring outside money into their national campaign to waste taxpayer dollars. It says that School Walk Outs are NOT protected by the first amendment. However, a school walkout is not considered the same type of speech as wearing a … Read more
Until the people who claim to want “money out of politics” stop being the same people who want as much money as possible to run through the hands of Washington politicians and bureaucrats, it is a safe bet they are using the idea of ‘campaign finance reform’ to control other peoples political speech.
The recently released UNH Interim Report Presidential Task Force on Campus Climate is not about the weather, but it does involve snowflakes. Let me drop one on your tongue so you can get a taste. “UNH must develop a sustainable inclusive campus climate and make diversity and inclusion integral to a 21st-century education where we … Read more
