Biden's Latin Lesson

There’s quid pro quo, and then there’s political corruption

As Democrats continue to push for open borders while obsessing about multiculturalism, they seem to have discovered a new appreciation for multilingualism as well.  Ever since that controversial phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky, Democrats across the country have been endlessly repeating one Latin phrase they believe will lead to President Trump’s … Read more

NH World War II Museum Declares Itself a Gun-Free Zone

For many reasons these days, members of The Greatest Generation are likely rolling in their graves. Over the past few decades, the Left has infected our country with a blight of Socialism, Marxism and absolute anti-Americanism not seen since the early 1900s. WWII veterans gave their youth, their health and their lives to free us … Read more

Use of the Power of the State to Bully & Live at the Expense of Others

Henry Adams observed, “politics as a practice, whatever its professions, has always been a systematic organization of hatreds.” Maybe marshalling hatreds isn’t everything there is to politics but it is a part of the game. Distraction too seems to be a component part of politics. In that, politics is much like a magic show. Reality in … Read more

NH’s Gun Control Queen Ignores the Obvious

Yesterday, NH State Rep. Deb Altschiller (D-Stratham) and fellow Leftists were attending the NH Progressive Summit when news about a shooting in a California Costco came out.  The queen of NH gun control quickly took to Twitter to capitalize on the tragic event. First, how is it possible that a shooting took place in California, … Read more

Standard Fare – Democrat Hypocrisy

Yep, this just about says it all (reformatted, emphasis mine): VA DEMOCRATS ACCEPTED DONATIONS FROM NORTHAM’S PAC AFTER CALLING FOR HIS RESIGNATION Four Virginia Democrats disclosed that they received donations from Gov. Ralph Northam’s political action committee despite having called for his resignation earlier this year, according to campaign finance data from Virginia Public Access … Read more

Erick Erickson: The Media’s Double Standards

hypocrisy (1)I had some thoughts on this yesterday but there’s room for more.

No television network has ever cancelled the number one network television show in America over a star’s behavior until this happened. Roseanne Barr has a history of making awful comments. She said people who eat at Chick-Fil-A should get cancer. She believed 9/11 conspiracy theories. She ran for President as a far left candidate for office. By the end of last week, the very same people who had been defending the honor of the MS-13 gang were attacking the honor of all Trump voters everywhere as if they were just as bad as Roseanne.

Proving Once Again How Right I Am

HypocriteIf you’ve missed it, and to do that you’d have had never to read a word written here (which, don’t be surprised, is common among people passing judgment on my commentary), I’ve made the case that Democrats don’t actually care about women, children, blacks, Latinos, or any of the LGBTQ folks. Add to that teachers, single moms, cops, blue-collar backbones of America, working families, and even “immigrants” legal or otherwise whether white, black, gay, you get the picture? If you are not on Team Progressive, your tribal rights are revoked. Nothing about you entitles you for anything but derision if you dare to speak outside the approved narratives.

The latest example of this comes courtesy of Samantha Bee who is getting an award for ‘Social Change,’ after calling Ivanka Trump a, hang on. This needs to go after the jump.

Tolerance?

“Tolerance is the virtue of the man without convictions.”   —Gilbert K. Chesterton

So, how come this doesn’t work with Education?

“We should be working to make sure that high quality health care is provided to the uninsured to make sure the full range of health care services, including family planning services that are available to people with money are available to the poor and uninsured as well,” Nadler said. That would be Congressman Jerry Nadler … Read more

The Icing on The Accountability Cake

c/o Ed Morrissey… In my column today forthe Fiscal Times, I argue that this epidemic of sudden incompetence and ignorance completely undermines the argument for large, activist government.  That’s true whether one believes that these executives are either telling the truth or lying about their knowledge and involvement: So what are we to think about … Read more

April 27th GrokTALK! Skip and Steve open the Program…

This week on GrokTALK! before our guests arrive Skip and Steve talk about Bill O’Brien, making State government smaller, a local New Hampshire case where despite stand your ground a Democrat county attorney still pressed charges, second amendment rights, contracts, the government messing up prescription drugs, what happens when you are late for your guest … Read more

An observation: Does the Left now hate Muslims?

Quick observation: all week long, one Leftist / Progressive / Democrat has trotted out the meme that it had to be a white TEA Party extremist that set off the bombs – someone who loves a lo-cal Government struggling on a pittance.  Three examples: David Axelrod’s “hanging” innuendo of a tax day protest, Charles Pierce that it as a “patriot” because of the MA Patriot Day holiday, CNN, David Sirota – and that’s just from today’s quick run through my normal blog readings (there have been a LOT since Monday – here’s a better list).

Chalk it up to the Progressive politicization of everything where nothing is off limits. They just couldn’t wait to see what actually developed – after all, they traffic in emotion and not facts.  They were wailing before it was known if this tragedy was created by a lone wolf or an entire cell network behind this.  Yes, the Right reacted as well, but mostly AFTER the first few punches / tweets / quotes / op-eds had already been unleashed by the Left who just couldn’t constrain their hatred.  They were DYING that it be their opposition.  Not just any opposition, but those that keep them from achieving their goals.  You see, they believe they ARE the moral ground (and not just merely standing on it or holding it).  Their fevered minds believe if they can JUST show that their political opposition is as evil as they believe that are (re: that old saw that Conservatives think that Liberals are just wrong / misguided; Liberals believe Conservatives are EEEEEvil), they could convince the Middle to hate them as well.

Me?  I think it is just

Mark Kelly’s ‘Assault Weapon’ Purchase Rescinded By Dealer

“A truth that’s told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.”  — William Blake

So Easy to purchase an AR-15? Not for this Astronaut
So Easy to purchase an AR-15? Not for this Astronaut

Fox News Reported today that Diamondback Police Supply determined that it was in the  company’s best interest to terminate this transaction prior to Kelly’s returning to the store to take possession of the rifle.

Fox News says, Store Owner Doug MacKinlay said in a facebook post, “While I support and respect Mark Kelly’s 2nd Amendment rights to purchase, possess, and use firearms in a safe and responsible manner, his recent statements to the media made it clear that his intent in purchasing the Sig Sauer M400

Tobacco Tax Increase: The Progressives Racism And Class Warfare?

“Every man who repeats the dogma of Mill that one country is not fit to rule another country must admit that one class is not fit to rule another class.” ? B.R. Ambedkar

photos-of-extinguished-cigarette - Tobacco taxes in danger thanks to ObamacareI read Steve’s entry this morning on the tobacco tax increase the house progressives just passed. HB 659-FN-A   passed 193 to 167 largely right along party lines, bringing along the usual recognizable (and some Freshman) RINO’s. I think anybody that follows house voting behavior is not at all surprised or intrigued because those RINO’s sipping the progressive Kool-Aid ascribe to the notion that somehow fewer kids will smoke as the price of a pack increases. But the fact is, kids do pay taxes. When a 13-year-old

The “Gun Nuts” Liberals Pretend Do Not Exist

“Eight more days and I can start telling the truth again” —Sen. Chris Dodd, on the campaign trail.

Fingers_In_EarsThere certainly is no shortage of left-wing talking points disparaging those of us who are vocal, unapologetic and loud in defending the individual right of citizens to, “keep and bear arms.” Remember Obama’s quip,

“And it’s not surprising then they get

You can’t make this stuff up…

Susan Rice: “As a result North Korea‘s ruling elite who have been living large while impoverishing their people….” The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously to impose a new sanction on North Korea that ‘specifies some luxury items North Korea’s elite is not allowed to import, such as yachts, racing cars, luxury automobiles and certain types … Read more

Apparently, what was not good for the goose IS good for the gander

Obama’s political promises all come with expiration dates – every.single.one.of.them.  It seems that his political taunts do as well – at least those that can help him if he conveniently forgets that he used them against his enemies earlier.  Like when being a non-profit was BAAAD for Americans for Prosperity and but now good for his campaign organization assuming the exact same non-profit structure (it will allow him to hide the identity of HIS donors – malfeasance he accused AFP of during the campaign).

AFP certainly noticed the hypocrisy:

Today Americans for Prosperity, a nationwide organization of citizen leaders with over 2 million activists and 34 state chapters, released a new video poking fun at the president for his new non-profit, tax exempt group.

HB 474  (Hearing Date: Thursday 2-7-13, 11:30 LOB 207)

This bill provides for in-state status within the university system of New Hampshire for students who are without lawful immigration status and who file an affidavit stating that the student has filed or will file an application to legalize his or her immigration status.

Democrats.

OFA Goes After ‘Dark Money’ (Wait -Is that Racist?)

From one 501-c4 to another, American’s for Prosperity–which was attacked by Obama and the media for being a 501-c4–would like to know what changed…other than Obama for America “changing” its name to to “Organizing for Action”…aaannnnd becoming a…501-c4. While I certainly don’t begrudge Obama for making use of such an organization and taking donations from … Read more
