Posted on May 5, 2017 by Steve Mac Donald

Posted on May 5, 2017 by Steve Mac Donald

Yesterday, the New Hampshire House of Representatives voted to have a committee look into the online behavior of two state representatives – Republican Robert Fisher and Democrat Sherry Frost. The saga in the house started months ago when Frost was elected in an uncontested race in Dover. She went from being someone no one ever heard of to having the nickname of Sherry ‘F*cker’ Frost due to her outrageous behavior on social media. More…

The Donald’s best pals: Barack and Hillary

Posted on May 5, 2017 by Steve Mac Donald

A fun and inciteful read from either side of the aisle.

“…as long as Barack and Hillary haunt us, the Democrats can’t grow. Yes, they’re beloved by their partisans. And each time they appear, you’ll find adoring pundits wagging their tails like Labrador puppies, wetting the carpets with joy.

But it doesn’t help the Democratic Party. It helps Hillary. It helps Barack.” More…

City Wants to Police Sagging Pants

Posted on May 5, 2017 by Steve Mac Donald

The saga of the sagging pants, it seems, is never-ending. Municipalities around the country — in South Carolina, Louisiana, New Jersey, Alabama, Mississippi, and Illinois, just for starters — have banned the controversial look, sometimes levying fines for those who won’t pull their trousers up over their skivvies.

Cop has hand on his gun while we’re “just having a conversation”

Posted on May 5, 2017 by Steve Mac Donald

‘ Goffstown PD has demanded my ID. I’m standing with a sign on the right-of-way outside the New Hampshire State Prison for Women. I’ve asked them to provide reasonable articulable suspicion first. They’ve dubiously answered…but answered.
