Massachusetts Moulton Campaigns by Trashing Live Free or Die Way of Life

August 12, 2019August 12, 2019 Christopher Maidment

It’s pretty bold for a #FITN Candidate, or any candidate for that matter, to come to New Hampshire and tell Granite Staters that we’re doing things wrong. It’s pretty rich, too, coming from a Nanny-stater like Seth Moulton. Speaking with James Pindell from the Globe after an event in Windham, he decided to defend his attack on our Live Free or Die way of life.

July 7, 2019 Steve MacDonald

From Poop maps to homeless invasions, to diseases, crime, high taxes, and dopey green energy boondoggles, there’s nothing quite like California. Or at least parts of it. A coastline littered with nutty leftists wielding progressive propaganda to the detriment of millions. A few of whom are choosing to leave.

Massachusetts Bill Would Drive Even More Retail Traffic to New Hampshire

April 30, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Massachusetts is considering a statewide tax on sugary drinks. We’ve covered these taxes in Philadelphia and Seattle. They’ve been a boon to jobs and businesses outside their borders. We’ve no reason to think the same won’t be true for New Hampshire if the Bay State buys in on it too.

Pro Diversity Students at Massachusetts College Demand Segregated Housing

April 29, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Self-segregation has risen dramatically in the wake of the Left’s war on culture. A movement started by the ideological ancestors of segregationists. So, I find it curious when their students demand it.

April 8, 2019 Steve MacDonald

January 15, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The town of Salem, Massachusetts has a revenue problem (don’t we all?). The local government’s cost of living exceeds its income. They need a solution. Cut spending? No. Raise taxes? Taxes are too high. Hey, let’s tax tourism some more! How about a ticket tax?

Mass. Court Ruling Bans Breathalyzer Results in Drunk Driving Cases

January 12, 2019 Steve MacDonald

It’s a case that goes back at least as far as 2011. The Massachusetts State Police Office of Alcohol Testing is implicated in a scandal to hide faulty Breathalyzer equipment. Initial questions related to inconsistencies were blamed on operator error. But the problem didn’t go away and several local Massachusetts DA’s stopped accepting the results as evidence. And … Read more

It’s a ‘Ma$$hole’ Invasion to GOTV for NH Democrats

October 26, 2018 Kimberly Morin

Apparently, there aren’t enough out-0f-state college students at New Hampshire colleges to get out the vote for Democrats so they decided to ship them up from Massachusetts… and Rhode Island. They are so on board with Chris ‘RESIST’ Pappas that they even trademarked the name Chris PapBus… which seems a tad disturbing. This should go … Read more

ICYM – Massachusetts Law Bans Ownership of “Assault Weapons” Whatever Those Are…

September 26, 2018September 1, 2018 Steve MacDonald

Words mean things. I think we’ve made that clear. But this isn’t Massachusetts.

A Massachusetts statute prohibits ownership of “assault weapons,” the statutory definition of which includes the most popular semi-automatic rifles in the country, as well as “copies or duplicates” of any such weapons. As for what that means, your guess is as good as ours. A group of plaintiffs, including two firearm dealers and the Gun Owners’ Action League challenged the law as a violation of the Second Amendment. Unfortunately, federal district court judge William Young upheld the ban.

August 26, 2019August 20, 2018 Steve MacDonald

A north country writer made the case today, in the Union Leader, that the opening of a new Casino in Springfield, Massachusetts is proof that the casino market is not oversaturated in New England.

I spoke with someone who has lived most of their life around Springfield with deep ties to the community. The local buzz down there is that even the casino operators think New England is probably oversaturated.

Massachusetts ‘Takes’ Family Medical Leave Act “Bullet” New Hampshire Just Avoided

September 26, 2018June 29, 2018 Steve MacDonald

“Republican” Massachusets Governor Charlie Baker (who is up for re-election this fall) signed a bill to raise the minimum wage, add permanent tax holiday weekend, and something Granite Stater’s luckily (just) avoided.

An $800 million paid family and medical leave program overseen by the state government and backed by a payroll tax will be launched so workers can more easily take care of themselves and their families without facing fiscal crises.

The 2-day (sales) tax holiday is “cute” but there will be no tax holiday from the 800 million in new plunder from employees and employers or it’s leasting effects.

Vote Fraud – In Pictures “Free Shuttle 8am – 7 pm”

July 8, 2022March 21, 2014 Steve MacDonald

In November 2012, there was some vote fraud. I know Democrats are denying it, but it is true. People who should not have voted in the swing state of New Hampshire came here and voted. Democrats conspired and planned it, statewide.
