Data Point – And I thought Bill Binnie had a bad ROI for his NH US Senate campaign years ago!
Was Tom Steyer’s Campaign the Worst in Presidential History? Billionaire spent $3,373 per vote and earned zero delegates. That would be delegates to the Democrat National Committee convention that could vote in the Presidential nomination process. …According to the FEC, Steyer has spent $253,718,074 through January 31, 2020. All but $3,555,597 was from his own pocket. … Read more
Steve Duprey Will Only Support Republicans in New Hampshire if They Give Him Something in Return?
Manchester “republican” Tammy Simmons has endorsed Steve Duprey for RNC Committeeman. I wrote about what I thought that means earlier today here. As if to prove me right, she has sent out an email that confirms it. Money is more important than principles.
Sanders Advocate AOC Admits “YOU! Need to Give Up Control and Power” (to Them).
If I have said anything, it is that the Left only cares about power. If you help them, they will pretend to be your advocate until they have power and can ignore you. If not, you are the enemy and must be defeated. Socialism doesn’t work any other way, and AOC just admitted as much.
Billionaires: Bloomberg Hasn’t Spent a Dime – Polling Better than Tom Steyer
We like to poke fun at Tom Steyer. He’s a billionaire climate goon and a policy hypocrite. A hedge fund manager who rails on money in politics while spending hundreds of millions on it himself. For what? Bloomberg just announced, and he is polling better.
Bernie Has a New Friend A Lot Like Him

What to Study and Where
What to study and where to study it. Those are the big questions for the college bound. Bankrate.com has just published its latest assessment of the financial attractiveness of 162 college majors.

Pro-BDS Union Backs Bernie… That’s 2 of the Top 3 Dems
There’s an old saying, “You show me your friends, and I’ll show you your future.” Socialist and Democrat presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders welcomed the endorsement of the UE union.
Wealth the Accumulation of the Results of Labor
Wealth is not some mystical entity which either government or birthright endows. It isn’t something that the “haves” enjoy by depriving the “have nots” of their fair share. Wealth represents the accumulation of the results of labor.
Are You Watching…? Planned Parenthood Is Out of Title X Family Planning
Planned Parenthood (PP) has recently announced it will withdraw from the Title X family planning program. The decision comes as a result of the administration’s regulation change. The regulation change requires PP to separate its abortion business from other health care services in order to keep federal funding. What does that tell us? Choosing abortion … Read more

CONCORD- Following the vote of the Joint Legislative Committee on Administrative Rules to issue a preliminary objection to rules implementing the Learn Everywhere program, Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut gave the following statement: “Today’s action was disappointing, but not unexpected. Unfortunately, any attempt to change the status quo in our schools is met with resistance. Giving … 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
Notable Quote – George Will
It is, however, an iron law: The more government does to influence the flow of money, the more money will be spent to influence elections. -George Will ( The Conservative Sensibility) (H/T: Cafe Hayek) I’ve been saying a similar thing for years – when the stakes of holding the levers of Power go up, more money … Read more
Quick Thought – and they STILL want more money from the State??
How about when you pay attention to your own details, first (emphasis mine, reformatted)? IRS hits Claremont schools with $320,000 in penalties Paperwork failures are again costing the school district that serves Claremont and Unity, this time with the Internal Revenue Service putting SAU 6 on notice for a $320,000 fine…LeClair said she became aware … Read more
Standard Fare – Democrat Hypocrisy

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
FB Doodlings: Ed’s post supporting Steve Stepanek call to get to work is getting a bit of play
Right off the top, let me make it clear that 1) I’m an Independent, 2) I think Stepanek is right in demanding, in NE Patriot parlance, “do your job” from those that actively sought election to the NH GOP Committee (delegates and members both). It has roundly been discussed and agreed upon that the NH … Read more
Different Time But the Same Old Request – More Money
I found this in a stack of old Town Reports someone gave me years ago, page #32: The problem of education is a difficult one to solve in towns like this, where there are but few scholars in a district and a small amount of school money. We hope to see a law whereby smaller … Read more
“First month on the job”
Well, we did cover the NH GOP Convention where both a new Chair and Vice-Chair were chosen: Steve Stepanek and Pam Tucker. Did an interview with Steve at the end of that gathering and my take away was that things were going to be different. Given that I’m on most political email distros in the … Read more
NH House Democrat: “I realize it’s very hard to take money away once you give it to them.”
There’s a Frontpage article in the Manchester Union Leader today about Keno. The focus is House Bill 390 (HB390). This legislation would lower commissions on Keno Machines from 8% to 5%. The result is fewer dollars and incentives to have them in your establishment. The Bill’s sponsor says it’s for education, but that’s not all he says. … Read more
Quick Thought – If it wasn’t for double standards, they’d have no…
Well, you know what the rest of that line is, right? I do agree with Jon that money is not the root of the NH GOP problems – but it is rather easy to point to as an overall symptom:
The silver lining is a timetable in which the membership of the Republican State Committee picks a new chairman in late January. Incumbent Wayne MacDonald of Derry took over a party last July that had $650 in the bank, $14,000 in bills and $48,000 in long-term debts.
“This isn’t any one person’s fault, especially Wayne, who was handed a bag of crap at the 11th hour,” posted Jon DiPietro, a conservative activist from Manchester. “But we had better get it fixed. There’s a presidential election in two years and it’s going to be here in the blink of an eye.”
Why, what is the problem here? His immediate predecessor was Jeanne Forrester – and he was the Vice-Chair so he knew about the problem. Now, the point of this post is not Wayne. It IS about
