“Jasper confirmed as agriculture commissioner with help from Dems”
How apropo is that headline from the Union Leader! He became Speaker of the NH House by dint of the Democrats “appointing” him after his own Party had essentially rejected him. Bad things came from that, especially on issues that really mattered to the base. | More at GraniteGrok.com

They argue New Hampshire should have a more unique flag that incorporates the Granite State’s most well-known symbols. | Keep Reading at LFDA.org
“…what say you now about Obamacare costs? Start groveling with abject apologies – Part 3”
One or two or three stories may be anecdotal – but this is starting to turn into a flood and we have only Obama and Democrats to thank for this. They designed it, they legislated it, they passed it, they regulated it, they did illegal changes (via E.O.s to it), they ran it. And not one Republican voted for it and they ALL ran on getting rid of it (but they’ve proven, as a Party, they can’t get the job done when it really counts). | Keep Reading at GraniteGrok

24 More Democrat Sex Scandals You Might Have Missed (Including New Allegations Involving Bill Clinton)
Ryan Saaverda, writing at the Daily Wire, has some details that CNN couldn’t be bothered to report.

Just how has the Uranium One scandal been “debunked”?
Mention the words, “Uranium One,” and many Americans shrug their shoulders, either blissfully unaware of the controversy or convinced that it’s a Republican ploy targeting Hillary Clinton and the Democrats. Others see a major scandal with far greater impact than Watergate. They see the covert sale of 20 percent of our uranium deposits to a Russian-owned company in exchange for bribes at the highest levels of our government. | Keep Reading at GraniteGrok
