It’s Not Just Laws – MORE Regulations Need to be Deep Sixed As Well

I have a feeling they might not find this tweet as cute or funny as the Governor and his “crack staff” apparently find it. Indeed, I have a feeling they … Read more
Democrat State Senator Melanie Levesque Vows to Use Money From Just-Passed Stimulus-Bill to Turn Out More Democrat Voters

Kentucky’s Democrat Governor Creates Coronavirus Snitch Line
In a move reminiscent of the Obama years (and every other socialist-inspired regime), Democrat Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has created a coronavirus snitch line. Sorry, I meant to say coronavirus hotline. A number you call to rat out your neighbors for breaking curfew and other capital offenses.
Somewhere, De Tocquville is smiling: “I told you so!”
Progressives and Socialists (e.g., those that despise our Founding Principles (else why do they never give up in trying to destroy them?)) always look to Government for answers (and always to the most Centralized version of such)? The rest of us that haven’t lost that sense of “rugged individualism” (again, also despised by our betters) … Read more

Shaheen’s 1.25 Billion in Coronavirus Money for NH Comes Up Short Compared to Vermont
Another trashbin bailout bill is making its way through congress. Democrats made fools of themselves blocking an earlier version to stuff it with unrelated left-wing garbage. But now that this sh*t show is on the road to the House Sen. Shaheen is claiming victory. Not so fast.
