It wasn’t but still kinda interesting. Look at the SECOND arrow and compare it to the June 16, 2021 numbers a 17% drop in total … Read more

Read the Left pane and then the Right pane: Remember that phrase that Democrats hate? Yep, “Taxation is Theft”. Isn’t that vandalism on your wallet? And think of the vandalism they do on our Rights and Liberties with almost every bill they pass! And I have receipts! (H/T: RL)

Yes I did: I went to the Laconia City Pumpkin Fest yesterday and spent my time handing out Belknap County Republican Committee cards and asking people to “vote Republican and save our economy”.

Meaningful Questions to Ask Candidates

October 13, 2022

by Ken Eyring

More than 50 years after the triumphant civil rights movement, many would probably agree that Joe Biden believes America is still hopelessly, systemically racist.

Joe Biden: Make America Hate Again

January 11, 2022

by Peter Lemiska

With only one year into his presidency, it’s probably too soon to be talking about Joe Biden’s legacy. But from the very beginning of his administration, Biden has shown a willingness – no, a commitment – to foment division and hatred. Unless he somehow acquires the skills of a real leader, it’s likely that his legacy has already been established.

UPDATE (Wednesday 7:36am): A few numbers have changed but not real “change” in the outcomes – yet. More later. The real question, though, is how long I can stay up because some of these are going to go real late. There’s a good possibility that the US President race won’t be decided for days.
