Should we be Taxing Social Security benefits?

August 19, 2019

There’s a bill Rep. Thomas Massie has sponsored the “Senior Citizens Tax Elimination Act”. Backers of the bill point out Social Security benefits used to be exempt from federal taxes. They are a government benefit. What sense does it make to give it with one hand and take it away with the other? Was it … Read more

Abortion Barbie Is Running For Congress

July 23, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Wendy Davis has one claim to fame. No, not her filibustering a bill to prevent abortion after 20 weeks, selling pink sneakers. A lot of abortion advocates desperate for a political lifeline bought pink sneakers so they could stand with Wendy.

ICYMI – Republicans Killed the Democrat Pay Hike for Congress

July 9, 2019 Steve MacDonald

In what is undoubtedly an underreported story, Congressional Republicans oppose the cost of living increase that would add 4500.00 dollars a year to their salary.

“What kind of education do people at Google have that they think religious Jews are Nazis?”

June 27, 2019June 27, 2019 Steve MacDonald

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.

Congressional Oversight, or Abuse of Power?

May 13, 2019May 13, 2019 Peter Lemiska

You’ve got to hand it to Jerry Nadler and the Democrats. They know just how to sound righteous, patriotic, and even noble when they want to. For two years, they posed as champions of democracy, railing about treason at the highest levels of government. “America deserves better,” they proclaimed. And today when they’re pontificating about … Read more

Hungry for power, Dems have no appetite for impeachment

May 2, 2019May 2, 2019 Peter Lemiska

The release of the Mueller report should have finally silenced President Trump’s Democrat critics who for two years have fueled the false narrative that he and his campaign colluded with the Russian government to win his election. Mueller’s exhaustive investigation has proven conclusively their destructive, and very likely concocted allegations were pure fantasy. But hard … Read more

SCOTUS Answer to Census Question Could Save America

April 25, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Democrats want illegal aliens counted on the 2020 US Census for apportioning seats in the US House. If illegals count, Democrats get more Congressional seats they can win virtually uncontested. That’s bad for liberty. It’s terrible for America.

Trump Say’s He’s Going to Ship Illegals To Sanctuary Cities Until Congress Changes the Law

April 16, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The Democrats (and their judges) have been adamant. You can’t detain these illegals; you have to release them. Mr. Trump punked the Left with his suggestion that he’d send them to Sanctuary Cities. Now he’s blaming Congress and says Homeland will be instructed to do just that.

Deception and Treachery in Congress

April 11, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Somali-born, Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar described the 9/11 terrorist attack as an event where “some people did something” (15:00 mark in video). She couldn’t bring herself to say “terrorism”, yet alone “Muslim Terrorism” while addressing CAIR, a Muslim lobbying group. Talk about a severe case of cognitive dissonance. With liberty in mind, I don’t have … Read more

Steve Negron Got More Votes in 2018 Than Any Republican in a NH CD-2 Midterm Since 2002

March 29, 2019March 28, 2019 Steve MacDonald

There’s a story going around behind the scenes in NH CD-2. I’ve heard it shared in person and in writing. The claim is that the result of the 2018 Mid-term suggest Steve Negron might not be our best Republican candidate. But as Mid-Terms go, he is.

Steve Negron Announces Rematch Against Congresswoman Ann Kuster in CD2

March 25, 2019March 25, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Yesterday on WMUR’s Close Up Steve Negron formally announced his intention to challenge Incumbent Democrat DC Insider Ann Kuster to a rematch. Steve (whom GraniteGrok endorsed for the 2018 race) but lost the general election says “we’re getting the band back together.”

Fixing Trump is More Important to Congress than Fixing the Border Crisis

October 17, 2019March 18, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Congress passed a resolution. It blocks Mr. Trump’s Emergency declaration on the Southern Border. In his veto signing remarks, Mr. Trump observed that “Congress’s vote to deny the crisis on the southern border is a vote against reality. It’s against reality. It is a tremendous national emergency. It is a tremendous crisis.”

Congressman Dan Crenshaw – “Spending More Money Doesn’t Make You Morally Superior”

March 14, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Texas Republican Dan Crenshaw is a congressional bright spot in a freshman class littered with anti-semites and attention-seeking bartenders turned socialist cults of personality. Crenshaw is thoughtful, measured, and more importantly selfless.

Hamas – CAIR – Connection in Congress:

March 13, 2019

Describe CAIR CAIR, the Council on American–Islamic Relations is a self proclaimed non-profit Muslim civil rights and advocacy group. Critics of CAIR, such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE), have accused it of pursuing an Islamist agenda and have claimed that the group is connected to Hamas, and the Muslim Brotherhood. CAIR rejects these claims … Read more

Trump’s Budget Proposes 2.7 Trillion in Cuts – Largest Budget Cut In US History?

March 12, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Trumps biggest disappointment over his tenure (from our point of view) was spending. But he appears to be trying to rectify that. I’d question the timing. We’d have had a good deal more success cutting the budget with Republican majorities in both chambers, which is to say, at least a snowball’s chance in hell. With a Democrat majority House, we have none. But maybe that’s the point?

Could This Be The Congress That Ends Switching the Clocks Twice A Year?

March 11, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Would it surprise you to know that Daylight Savings Time was a plot concocted by the Kaiser in WWI? It was imported to the US in 1918 and has plagued us in various forms ever since. Until 1966 when Congress forced it on all but a few locals who said screw you.

March 8, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Republican Candidate for Congress Steve Negron has announced that he is exploring a rematch against Democrat incumbent Ann Kuster. It would be the first of it’s kind this decade. All her previous challengers were on and done. Negron is looking seriously at running again in 2020.

Stand Up or Get Out

March 7, 2019

The young, upstart, leftist, future leaders of the Democrat Party are off and running 60 days in! And what are they up to is as expected – hate. You need a target if you want to bully a person or people and the Democrat “in crowd” have chosen Israel and Jews, in general. The dog … Read more

Is The American Constitution Our National Emergency?

February 17, 2019 Steve MacDonald

For all the awfulness buried inside the most recent appropriations bill, there is one provision that Republicans added. It is rumored to give the President authority to pull resources for the Wall from other agencies or departments. There is ample reason to dislike this.

Congress Makes a Deal to Avert Another Shutdown – But Will Mr. Trump Sign It?

February 12, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Republicans and Democrats in Congress have arrived at a compromise to prevent a shutdown. Trump will get a downpayment of 1.7 Billion dollars for his “wall,” and Democrats won’t insist on breaking laws Congress already passed. Okay, that was harsh. But true.
