MacDonald: Requiring ID to Get An Absentee Ballot is NOT a Burden

June 17, 2025 Steve MacDonald

Whenever the Democrats get uppity about ID to vote I have to ask questions. Doesn’t the government require ID for many things, including welfare, EBT, and Social Security? Then there’s travel, a library card, a license for a pet, opening a back account, cashing a check, buying alcohol, renting a car, renting a room, buying … Read more

The greatest evils in the world will not be carried out by men with guns, but by men in suits sitting behind desks. —C. S. Lewis. One of those evils, plotted by siting suits, is the SAVE Act introduced by Rep. Chip Roy of TX, H.R. 8281, that passed the House on July 10th. Following … Read more

Voter ID Means I’ll Cast Mine, You Cast Yours

May 5, 2024 Ray Cardello

I have had my driver’s license ready when I go to the polls to cast my vote for some time now. Longer than it has been required in New Hampshire to vote in any election. I have always believed that the opportunity to vote is one of the most significant rights afforded to citizens in America.

Chris “Biden-Boy” Sununu Says … You Should NOT Need An ID To Vote

March 16, 2024 Ed Mosca

I say SO WHAT? So what that New Hampshire’s Sun-King, Chris Sununu (a/k/a Biden-boy), does NOT support voter ID. So what if that means scores of illegal aliens and non-residents will be able to vote in New Hampshire in November? What’s that you say?

Let’s Look at the Election Process

November 14, 2022 Ray Cardello

I am not an election denier, but I am an election cynic. The events of this past week should be embarrassing to all Americans. But the fact it does not seem to concern the Left might be because it is their design.

Poll: 99% Say We Need to Require Photo ID to Vote

July 20, 2021July 19, 2021 Steve MacDonald

In this weekend’s unscientific Grok Poll, we asked this question. Should NH require a Photo ID to Vote? The response to this question was overwhelming. We could even call it a consensus.

Poll: Should NH Require a Photo ID to Vote? [Vote Now, Poll Ends at Midnight]

July 19, 2021July 17, 2021 Steve MacDonald

This seems like a no-brainer of a poll question for this audience, but it seems like a good idea. SB3 was recently thrown out (for good and bad), while states nationwide are wrestling with ensuring election integrity. ID is an important part of the puzzle.

Nashua: ID Is Needed to Reactivate My Library Card, but Not to Vote?

July 7, 2021 Op-Ed

Last week I went into the Nashua library to see some reference material. I walked in free-faced and was not given a hard time though they have a doorman at a desk with a box of single-use masks and a hand sanitizer pump. Of course, there was plexiglass everywhere.

Boycott the Red Sox

April 3, 2021 Ed Mosca

This: MLB’s “values” … more specifically, allowing voting WITHOUT a photo ID … is OPPOSED by a whopping 74% of Georgians: In Georgia, support for voter ID is even higher, with 74% of voters supporting in a UGA/AJC poll for mandating voters to show a copy of their photo ID or other documentation to be … Read more

Researchers Discover What You Already Know – Voter ID Laws Do Not Suppress Turnout.

February 12, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Democrats go into a rage over requiring ID to vote. You know that thing you need to collect Welfare, Food Stamps, unemployment, get a pet license, and a million other common everyday transactions in 21st century America. Open an account, cash a check, steal someone’s identity. You need an ID.

Williams – Sonoma: the Dick’s Sporting Goods of the kitchen set?

September 26, 2018April 25, 2013 Skip

Updated & Bumped: This is when you get caught being stupid. From CNSNews:

Williams-Sonoma Releases Statement Apologizing for Pulling Pressure Cookers

“Pressure cookers are available at all our stores nationwide.

“In the days immediately following the tragic bombings in Boston a local decision was made to remove pressure cookers from the sales floor of the stores near where the bombing occurred. We apologize if we offended anyone by this action.”

Offended? No, that’s not the word I would pick. Cowardly? Political Correctness junkies? Just plain STOOPID in trying to put as much space as possible from even a HINT of being associated with the Boston Marathon Bombers. I do wonder if this decision was from their Sr. Leadership (such that might exist) or from an avalanche of “dumbness” sent their way.

*************************************

Back in December, just after the tragedy of Sandy Hook, Dick’s Sporting Goods stopped selling AR-15s. They screwed over customers and they screwed over their suppliers as they did not honor their contracts and did not honor transactions in process. They didn’t care – their cowardly side showed over this particular style of modern sporting rifles.

But really, this?? From Big Government (emphasis mine):
