We live in troubled times! I placed 13 American Flags in front of our Veterans Memorial in our town. It was to honor those who lost their lives for us in Afghanistan. It was not a political statement but one of respect for our troops.

Horseplay, Heroes, and Hope
Who amongst us has never been on a horse? While no equestrian, I did once recklessly mount a big old horse roaming my grandfather’s apple orchard on his remote backcountry farm in Lunenburg, Vermont—way back when I was 11 or so.
FACT CHECK: ‘Trump Accomplishments’ List
There is a post being shared on social media that is being called “Trump Accomplishments” and urges readers to verify each of the accomplishments and to share the list with others because the media isn’t talking about these accomplishment.

A Colorblind Poem for a Colorblind Post
This makes for a good UPDATE to my “Quick Thought – Being Colorblind, I See You JUST Fine.” That was in answer to the idea that “If you’re color blind, that means you don’t even see me.”
I’m Almost Always Blogging, But When I’m not…
I’m almost always blogging, but when I’m not…I support independent local brewers. And plastic Adirondack chairs. And small contained fires (yes, I have a frikkin permit). And relaxing outdoor environments, and liberty, and freedom, and…wait, I’m blogging again.
Brilliant! Team Trump Twitter Video Takes Nancy and Her Speech Tearing Antics to the Wood Shed
My first take on the State of the Union was that Nancy screwed up. Tearing up the speech was terrible optics. A speech loaded with good news (in particular) for women and minorities. Pelosi tore it up and team Trump is making Democrats pay a price.
Laconia School District: This shirt inappropriate for a third grader to wear to school
UPDATED and BUMPED II:
We do a lot of writing and when one of the Groksters gets it wrong, an apology is required. Tonite, it is my turn and I apologize to Superintended Steve Tucker, Principal Eric Johnson, and Teacher Lindsey Packer. I publicized bad information – information for which I fell for. From my Daughter-in-Law’s Facebook post on this issue that I just happened to screenshot:
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

2019: New Hampshire “Most Patriotic State” in the Nation (How’d Your State Do?)
New Hampshire popping up on a “best of” list is not new. Best for low overall taxes, high quality of life, low poverty, outstanding health outcomes, and more recently, an excellent growing increasingly business-friendly state economy. This number one ranking for Most patriotic seems like another feather in the cap.

Democrats Celebrate Soviet Navy At Convention
Oh Yeah. Those Democrats are all about the Military (and veterans)…just not the…um…US Military.
In what was supposed to be moving tribute to the military a large image portrayed behind those assembled on the dais of the Democrat National Convention displayed…Soviet Era War ships from the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
So Democrats have affirmed something we should have always known. They like veterans…Soviet veterans.
Who’d have ever suspected that?
And they are (by their own admission) the smartest people in the room, in case you forgot.
NH Democrats Silent On Obama Death Toll
Character matters. Democrats have none. For all their mewling about body counts, we’ve heard next to nothing (actually, nothing) about the brave men and women who have been wounded or killed fighting the Democrat parties rhetorical ‘Good War’ over in Afghanistan, since Obama has been in charge.
Under former President George W. Bush, 575 American soldiers died and fewer than 3,000 were wounded in Afghanistan. This means under Obama, at least 1,405 soldiers have died and nearly 15,000 additional soldiers have been wounded, which means 70% of the deaths and nearly 80% of the injuries in Afghanistan have occurred under Obama’s watch.
(emphasis mine)
New Hampshire Democrats are on the hook for this…and not just that pair of Hypocrat harpies running for congress, Carol-Ann-Shea-McKluster.
Shea-Porter’s Anti-Millitary Stand
Blue Hampshire has a nice post about how Carol Seiu-Porter, the daughter of a WWII vet, married to a former serviceman, stands up for veterans and the military. (I have synopsized.)
Well if that is true, then the minute she gets back to DC for her lame duck session I expect her to initiate an investigation into why states run by democrats have such a hard time getting absentee ballots out to military personnel in the field, and getting them back and counted in time to matter. This is a problem that has gone on for years without any notice or action by the democrats or their so-called military supporters.
