Corey Lewandowski is still considering a run for US Senate. He’s been teasing it for so long that people are beginning to get annoyed. Get in already, or say you’re out. It is keeping campaign money on the sidelines.

Homewrecker Ilhan Omar Illegally Using Campaign Funds to Keep Her White Lover Close
Ilhan ‘The Homewrecker’ Omar continues to make the news. Her married, dangerous white devil, boy toy is a political consultant. Based on financial disclosures, he is getting “paid” to travel with her and ‘consult.’ I’m not sure I’ve ever heard it called that.
Doxxing Cyber-Bully Joaquin Castro “Praised” Bill Targeting Cyber-Bullying
Intimidating political opponents and their supporters have always been in the Left’s tool chest. Now it’s not just mainstream you get points for bragging about it even when your doxxing hijinks contradict any previous stance on cyberbullying.
NH Senate Advances Bill to Allow Campaign Expenditures for Child Care
HB651 is back in the news. “AN ACT allowing the use of campaign funds for child care expenses.” The NH Senate has passed the legislation and I still have issues with it.
Pras Michel Indicted for Moving Millions in Foreign Money to Obama Presidential Campaign
Foreign influence in elections is not new just Democrats caring about it. Which, is to say, being Democrats about it. We’ve had stories going back to at least Bill Clinton of foreign nations funneling political donations to Democrats.

This Badly Written Bill Would Allow Spending Campaign Funds on Childcare Expenses
How do you feel about allowing political campaign funds to be used to pay for childcare expenses? That’s what HB651 would make legal. A bill that passed the House and is currently up for consideration in the State Senate.
Re-framing, Part 2 (Money In Politics Edition)
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.
Ocasio-Cortez Could See Jail Time for Latest Campaign Finance Scandal
We have a new development in the campaign finance hijinks of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and campaign manager turned chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti. As noted yesterday, the two are named in an FEC complaint that ties the two directly to a PAC that is alleged to have also financed Ocasio-Cortez’ primary campaign.
Ocasio-Cortez Campaign Finance Scandal Number Two!
Democrat Party Poster-Girl Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is up to her eyeballs in earned media. She’s also up to her eyeballs in gaffes and, yes – trouble. And not just that business about funneling campaign funds to her boyfriend. Her “chief of staff” is alleged to have used two PACS to disguise how up to a million dollars in campaign contributions were used.
FEC Asked to Investigate AOC over Campaign Payments to BF on the QT
It’s not a slow news day, I swear, but DNC CCCP Poster-Girl AOC could be investigated by the FEC for Campaign payments to her boyfriend on QT. You know, Riley, the guy who’s on her Congressional staff but not on her staff. There were two disbursements to him of 3,000.00 dollars each (late last summer) made by a third party from her campaign funds.
Voter Owned Campaign Finance Bill A Waste of Time and Money
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
Kathy Sullivan tells us her Democrat Party’s don’t stink
Normally I either bypass her Op-Eds in the Union Leader completely or just glance through them. They generally are the usual drivel that would come from a former NH Democrat Party chair (and a DNC vice-chair). Don’t worry, I generally think JHo’s (former NH GOP chair) to be similar screeds. In this case, though, I found at least the premise of the Op-Ed to be both true and false at the same time concerning campaign finance report.
Liberal So-Called ‘Campaign Finance’ Group Backs Whiny GOP RINOs To Silence Speech
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 issues advocacy group just like AFP. But Open Democracy supports forced union dues and opposes right to work so when AFP asked voters to ask some useful idiots in the NH House (who happen to be Republicans) about their opposition to Right to Work, OD yelled ‘fire’ in a crowded campaign finance reform move theater.
The Press, Corporations, Campaign Finance, and The First Amendment
Eugene Volokh is writing a series of articles on Free Speech and freedom of the press over at Reason. In this installment, he looks at exceptions afforded to a special class of corporate ‘speakers’ the professional press.
Under any sensible accounting scheme, an editorial supporting a candidate would cost a lot in labor costs and the editorial’s share of newsprint, ink, and distribution costs. That would often far exceed $1000; and most newspapers are of course organized as corporations. Likewise for extended coverage supporting or opposing a candidate, when engaged in by an opinion magazine.
What Follows An Imperial Presidency?
Angelo Codevilla called it back in 2010 when he said there is a large unrepresented portion of the electorate and for good or bad they will demand to be heard- in 2016, by the looks of it. We also talk about the dangers of following Obama’s imperial presidency, with a quick foray in to the … Read more
Did Durham Outsource Cost of Obama Visit…to Other NH Taxpayers?
The town of Durham has reported that the costs of the Obama visit–which the Obama campaign refused to pay for–cost the town $19,851.00. But it will only cost the anonymous donor around $13,000.00 because… c/o Gretyl MacAlaster -July 31st Union Leader “…town public safety officials were able to reduce local costs through careful distribution of … Read more
New Carol Same As The Old Carol
I realize this is another captain obvious moment for activists who pay attention to such things but we are all quick to forget; not how Democrats demonize opponents they claim are owned by some special interest but who owns them and how much they will work to distract us from that.
Revoke Non-Profit Status?
In 2010 the NHCA’s PAC, New Hampshire Citizens Alliance for Action, spent all it’s over $15,000.00 in PAC money to re-elect Carol Shea-Porter.
Top-100(?) donors to Political Candidates and Parties. And the Winner is…?
I don’t think they can compete with one particular “special interest” donor and their support of democrats. Actually no one can. They are a violent, noisy, sliver of the electorate, and they are still outspending not just every other group, but most or all of them added together;
