Progressives initially conceived of the idea of a minimum wage as a way to weed unskilled minorities out of the population. It still works. Low income, unskilled workers are always hit hardest, but even in the current climate (riots, protests, systemic racism), NH Democrats passed a mandatory minimum wage bill anyway.

NH Democrats Are Gunning for ‘Racist’ Franklin Pierce, But Why Not Just Go All the Way
I’m not sure what they plan to do about his statue in front of the State House, but Franklin Pierce is in danger of being canceled elsewhere in the State. “Both the UNH Franklin Pierce Law School and Franklin Pierce University are receiving pressure to rename themselves.”
It’s Democrats That Are “Killing” Black Americans
The majority of blacks who die in America do so in cities that have been run and controlled by Democrats for decades. Complete top to bottom control of the government, the police force, everything.
Democrats Stick with Plan to Punish Small Business Owners in New Hampshire
In late April, New Hampshire Democrats drew a line in the sand. The government had shut down businesses that knee-capped revenues. Decreased revenue would trigger a massive tax increase on job creators. It seems unfair, but these are Democrats. The government always comes first.
If Minorities want to See Real Change (they can believe in) Defund Democrats
If you had doubts about what the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has become, this should clear that up. The ACLU is running ads on Facebook. ‘Defund the Police.’ If you click the link, you can sign a petition at action.aclu.org to (drumroll) defund the police.
Because the Left Keeps Using it: “Hands Up Don’t” Shoot Never Happened
The left lives on lies. Need an example? “Hands up Don’t Shoot.” It has gotten popular recently because of “I can’t breathe” – which did happen. But the latter is not something you can dance to, and putting your hands in the air like you don’t care if that’s an urban legend, is more their style.
After Grok Bashes the Republican Gov for Three Months Democrat Accuses us of Carrying “Mainstream Republican” Water
If you missed it, or we’ve never met to discuss it, GraniteGrok is not a “Republican Website.” That some number of Republicans have been known to stumble over the principles we defend is their accident, not ours. So, when a NH Democrat claimed ‘Grok’ “appears to be Mainstream Republican,” I laughed out loud.
NH Democrat Jeanne Deitsch – Elitist White-Tower Snob
We warned New Hampshire about Democrat candidate Jeanne Dietsch, (Sen. Dist 9), but not enough Republicans turned out to keep her from winning in the 2018 Blue Wave election. An error they should be sure to correct come November. Why?
Seattle’s Antifa-BLM Autonomous Marxist Paradise Becomes Dependent Needy Train Wreck Overnight
The peaceful protests in Seattle became so “not-peaceful” that City police abandoned a local precinct in fear for their lives. Antifa and BLM proceeded to take over six square city blocks, which they declared an autonomous community. But one day into paradise and things are going about the way you’d expect.
Defund Police “Laboratory” Results – Homicides in LA up 250% During Week of Peaceful Protests
I noted earlier this week that if you wanted to get a look at what a city without police would be like, the riots were an excellent place to start. Here’ another one. Los Angeles. The city of angels. As in 250% more people have become angels (or demons) during the peaceful anti-police protests.
Female Democrats Complain Over Being Treated….. EQUALLY
File this in the ‘you can’t make this stuff up’ folder folks. Female Democrat Representatives Jan Schmidt and Rosemarie Rung (two of the worst reps at the NH State House) are complaining for being treated….. seriously… not even kidding… EQUALLY. They apparently don’t like to be held accountable, as elected officials, for their votes, actions … Read more
If Minneapolis Has Systemic Racism Why Isn’t Over 40 Years of Democrat Rule to Blame?
We’ve made the point more than once. Democrats have run the cities with the riots (where they are protesting systemic racism) for decades. George Korda, writing at that far-right bastion (cough-cough) USA Today, wonders why they are not taking their share of the blame?
Thank You Riots – You Just Activated Tens of Millions of Americans to Reject Local Political Lockdowns
The sleeping beast is not what you think. It’s middle of the road voting Americans. Those so-called moderates who, regardless of race, voluntarily follow the rules, even when they feel there’s something fishy. But law-abiding citizens got a taste of the left’s hypocrisy sandwich with the protests and riots, and I’m betting they are not amused.
Economy Adds 2.5 Million Jobs in May – Unemployment Drops to 13.3%
We still have a long way to go, but this is a damn good start. Not Because we added 2.5 Million jobs after putting a historic number of people out of work, but because the “experts” predicted terrible numbers and we got the opposite.
BLM Cofounder’s List of 10 Things White People Need to Do (And My ‘List’ in Response)
Black Lives Matters (BLM) wants a lot of things. Like, no more cops. If you’d like an example of what that looks like, turn on your TV and watch the rioting. But they want that, among other things, like this list from BLM co-founder Chanelle Helm, in Lousiville.
BLM Vigil ‘After Party’ – Mostly Self-Loathing White Kids Who Have Been Taught to Hate America
Last night “Black Lives Matter” held a vigil at Stark Park in Manchester. They had already held a protest the weekend before but for some reason wanted to hold another, one that started at 8PM at night. There were threats of Antifa Communists who were planning on rioting and looting the city, especially the South … Read more
Do Not Believe the Democrat’s Sudden Concern for Protecting Peaceful Protest
Somewhere on Twitter, one of New Hampshire’s desperately-seeking-attention Democrats regurgitated another narrative mill talking point out of DC. They didn’t want Gov. Sununu to send our National Guard anywhere to “interfere in peaceful protests.”
Now This is Just Embarrassing: Susan Rice Suggests Russia is Behind the Riots
“Russia” is the name of the Democrat Party’s invisible friend. The one that broke the lamp, the vase, drew on the wall, and let the water overrun in the sink and flood two floors, one of which belonged to the neighbor downstairs. “Russia” is responsible for everything, including (now), maybe, the riots raging in Democrat cities.
And Just Like That! Democrats No Longer Gave a Sh*t About Social Distancing
I’ve seen a sampling of the reports. Large crowds. A lot of violence. No social distancing. And why bother? The point of the former, the mask mandates, all the virus socialism, was to create fear. Riots do that and more.
Kurt Schlichter – “This is an opportunity to eliminate the armed wing of the Democrat party”
As a followup to the previous piece on Antifa being declared a terrorist group, Kurt Schlichter (a national treasure) shared a few thoughts on Twitter that you may find interesting. Like, “This is an opportunity to destroy Antifa root and branch, and to eliminate the armed wing of the Democrat party.”
