Gabby Giffords Anti-Gun Cult Would Have Made Her Wait for the Police and her babies Would Be Dead

New Hampshire Democrats, Moms Demand Action, Everytown for Gun Safety, the Gabby Giffords cult, Zandra Rice Hawkins from Granite State Progress, Rep. Katherine Rogers, and all the other Left Side of The Aisle gun grabbers in the State legislature would have made the mother call 911 and wait for the police.

Her twins would be dead. Drowned in the bathtub. Thanks to Twisted Democrat notions that have nothing to do with ‘safety.’ More…

In Seattle, is it now taboo to be friends with a Republican?

Kshama Sawant wasn’t having any of that. She stood up and said Burgess wasn’t speaking for her with this “our Republican friends” stuff. Because, she assured the crowd, she doesn’t have any Republican friends.

Yay, cheered the crowd.

Now it’s hardly surprising that Sawant, a socialist, isn’t having GOPers over for mint juleps. But it’s pretty unusual to my ears for a politician to boast that her tribalism excludes even the possibility of warm feelings toward political opponents, even as humans. More…

Phillips Exeter Academy confronts racial tensions

Administrators at Phillips Exeter Academy are vowing to address longstanding racial tensions at the prestigious New Hampshire boarding school following protests last week by students who fault the school for not responding swiftly to racial conflict on campus and for failing to retain teachers of color.

Jeff Woodburn and the Three Bears

Jeff Woodburn is still bitching about the three bear cubs relocated from Hanover to the North Country.

“I don’t appreciate the North Country being a dumping ground. We’re not collecting rabid skunks in the North Country and dumping them in Newfields,” said Democratic Sen. Jeff Woodburn, referencing Sununu’s hometown.

Jeffy doesn’t seem to have any problem with the state “dumping” special tax incentives in the north country year after year. More…
