Bitcoin Breaks Record High, Now Over $3,200 After Risky “Fork” into Competing “Bitcoin Cash”

Posted on August 6, 2017 by Steve Mac Donald

After squabbling for years over how to fix the growing pains of the world’s first decentralized cryptocurrency, one of the sides in the ongoing Bitcoin Geek War has finally made a bold move.

This week, on August 1st, a small number of the “big blockers” performed a “hard fork” and broke away from the main Bitcoin blockchain, creating a new currency, “Bitcoin Cash“. This had the added benefit of giving everyone who already held Bitcoin an equal amount of the new Bitcoin Cash! Ever heard the phrase, “there’s no such thing as a free lunch”? Bitcoin’s first fork into two has proven that statement wrong. Read on to learn more about this historic week in Bitcoin. | More…

19 MASSIVE Democrat Scandals the MSM Is Covering Up

Posted on August 6, 2017 by Steve Mac Donald

Michael Sainato of The Observer has done a superb job of accumulating all the scandals currently roiling the Democrat Party. Well, not really roiling, because as we all know our objective, unbiased, and not-at-all-leftwing media is covering up every single one of these jaw-dropping scandals. Smothering them to death. Burying them. In other words, thanks to our media, Democrats, the true Russian colluders (more on this below) are getting away with everything but murder.

So, with another word of thanks to The Observer for reminding us of these 17 scandals (I added the last two), here they broken down into a handy-dandy list. | More…

Maggie Hassan’s “Bipartisan Health Care Solutions” Are Neither Bipartisan Nor Solutions

Posted on August 6, 2017 by Steve Mac Donald

New Hampshire’s drive-by Senator Maggie Hassan (whose margin of victory was less than the number allowed to vote without ID) is out with an op-ed on how to “solve” health care.

Hassan’s op-ed comes on the heels of the Senate GOP’s failure to pass “skinny repeal” of Obamacare and the news that health insurers in New Hampshire have requested rate hikes of, in some cases, more than 40 percent for 2018.  Hassan’s “solutions,” however, are neither truly bipartisan nor really solutions.  Rather, they would move us further toward single-payer –that is, government-controlled and government-rationed– healthcare. | More…

What If It Was A Republican Governor Who Left for the Democrat Party?

Posted on August 5, 2017 by Steve Mac Donald

The defection of a Republican Governor to the Democrats would be a complete repudiation of Trump and the GOP. There would be non-stop coverage at every level and local stories by local reporters in all the New Hampshire Media, for days, if not weeks. It would be seismic.

Everyone would be asked what it means, and thousands of hours would be spent crafting the GOP’s long sought after Trumpian requiem.

So what happened when an elected Democrat governor leaves for the party of Trump after a year of ceaseless efforts to demonstrate exactly the opposite. | More…

When the “Militia” Takes days off

Posted on August 5, 2017 by Steve Mac Donald

You’ll have noticed that there has not been much content from New Hampshire bloggers lately. That’s because they appear to be spending time enjoying the summer, with families, or working. They aren’t creating much content.

I don’t begrudge them that but the left has paid activists at the wheel 24/7/365. Their job is working issues and narratives all the time.

Our candidates and issues need our support. Let’s be sure to do what we can to provide that.
