by Steve MacDonald

Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from the nomination to be Trump’s next Attorney General after almost everyone, but a few, made it clear they couldn’t vote to confirm him.

Sometimes, heroes arise in the most unlikely manner.

by Ray Cardello

Two time slots are used for any news story you want to bury. These slots are the black holes of news. Friday afternoon and Sunday night are when you drop news you don’t want anyone to see or hear. Chuck Schumer started teasing the text of his blockbuster border bill on Friday morning, but it did not become public until late Sunday night.

by Op-Ed

Betraying one’s values is worse than losing a seat at the political big boy’s table. The Republican people must learn this, or regardless of the outcome in the 2022 mid-terms, the Republican people will have lost themselves and participated in the forfeiture of the principles of our great Union.

November 3, 2022

by Skip

I have told Gen. Don Bolduc that his campaigning is FAR better than the last election cycle. Last night, he took it to a new level – complete domination. Maggi Hassan’s scowl said it all.

Tis the season for campaign ads and endless phone calls (and texts), and thank the Lord for call screening. Imagine the frustration if we didn’t have it? Hello…Arrrgh! As for ads, my mute button is getting more action than a Coyote on the US Southern border. Mute. Mute. Mute. But TV ads are essential. Without them, you probably lose.

“Fiscally Responsible™” Maggie Hassan Helped Add 11.5 Trillion to the Federal Debt in Under 6 Years

October 6, 2022

by Steve MacDonald

In 2016 when Maggie Hassa squeaked out a win over Kelly Ayotte for a US Senate seat from New Hampshire, the Deficit was at 19.5 Trillion. Given that Hassan is selling herself as a fiscally responsible™ tax-cutter, we might be able to discern the truth of that by looking at what the National debt is today. It just hit 31 Trillion.

So the Senate just passed a continuing resolution to avoid a government shutdown. The CR needed 60 votes to pass, which means that the GOP had the leverage to actually do something about the things they claim to care about. They did NOT:

September 27, 2022

by Steve MacDonald

His Excellency, Governor Groomer, has been harsh regarding US Senate candidate Don Bolduc. Unsupportive. He took sides until his guy (Chuck Morse) lost the primary to the General. So what’s changed?
