Last night was a special night at TD Garden Boston, as former Boston Bruin Rick “Nifty” Middleton had his number 16 raised to the rafters, only the 11th in the history of the franchise. I remember going to the old Boston Garden in the 80s with my dad. The first time walking up the concourse and then into the Garden is a memory I’ll never forget. It was just one of those moments you remember as a kid, and how incredible it was to be in the building. Even when we were seated in the nose bleed seats high up in the rafters you felt like you were part of the game. Middleton was simply … [Read more...]
Trump is Right to be “Angry” about GM
The drive by media has a lot of heart—giving President Trump a hard time about GM (Government Motors) cutting jobs—running headlines that he’s “Angry” and is “Threatening” the company. Talk about inheriting a government disaster. It was the Obama administration’s misguided bailout of the autos in 2008 that lead to this mess to begin with. And it was put on Trump’s plate. An industry reckoning was simply delayed as Obama doled out $11.3 billion to resuscitate—essentially an underfunded pension plan that happens to make cars and trucks—a dying business. And it was under Obama’s watch … [Read more...]
The Second Amendment and the Senate’s Most Endangered Man
Doug Jones (D-AL) is likely the Senate's most endangered member. After his unpredictable win against accused child-abuser Roy Moore, Jones entered the Senate holding a set of liberal beliefs in contradiction to the conservative electorate he represents. In a recent interview Jones made an Orwellian hash of the English language by claiming that "he is not for “gun control,” just more gun regulations." Alabama news outlet, Yellowhammer News, reported on Jones' attempts to reconcile his anti-gun beliefs with the pro-rights stance of Alabamans. Sean Ross wrote: When Hammontree, later in the … [Read more...]
Camp Fire Mountain Boys
Brad Weldon wasn't about to leave his blind, 90-year old mother behind when the Camp Fire hit, reports the Sacramento Bee. Weldon is one of a small group of self-proclaimed "mountain boys," who have "defied evacuation orders and are surviving on meat stored in their generator-powered freezers, bagged lunches dropped off by PG&E crews and supplies provided by a mysterious band of volunteers that Weldon calls 'the redneck underground.'" Nothing can truly describe the horrors families have faced, and are facing, with the California Camp Fires. One takeaway here for all of us is that if you … [Read more...]
Democrats Threaten the Economy
With a host of proposals to hamper economic growth, Democrats could undo all the progress made by the Trump administration. Nancy Pelosi has promised to pass a minimum wage of $15/hour, without regard to the fact that such a move could devastate America's small businesses. Not only that, but the future Chairwoman of the House Financial Services Committee, Maxine Waters, has said the era of regulatory reform for banks has come to an end. So much for expanding credit to America's entrepreneurs. Watch job growth come to a screeching halt if Waters has her way. At The Hill, Alfredo Ortiz … [Read more...]
Here’s Why Cities Lose by Subsidizing Companies like Amazon
Chris Edwards, the director of tax policy studies at the Cato Institute, explains that while there will undoubtedly be certain winners in the cities that Amazon decided to open its new headquarters in, there will surely be losers as well. Edwards suggests that "Rather than subsidizing big businesses, the states should aim to create a diverse business ecosystem - an Amazon, if you will - by cutting taxes and regulations for all types of investment." He explains many of the drawbacks of such subsidies in detail, writing: Fairness. With Amazon adding thousands of workers, hiring will be … [Read more...]
VIDEO: D.C. Conceal Carry Permits Soar After Residents’ Rights Restored
The debate over "shall issue" and "may issue" is an ongoing battle in many states. D.C. was forced to accept "shall issue" in the court decision Wrenn vs. D.C.. The city didn't appeal because if the Supreme Court upheld the decision it could have undone the "may issue" laws in states around the country. At some point the "shall issue" vs. "may issue" will make its way to the Supreme Court and Americans will be unchained from arbitrary restrictions on their rights to self protection. … [Read more...]
Time-Out for CNN’s Jim Acosta
The Trump White House handed down a deserved time-out to CNN’s White House correspondent Jim Acosta. Since when did the West Wing briefing room become a Constitutional right? “Is Trump obligated to provide access to whomever CNN chooses to represent the network in the West Wing, even if the individual assigned routinely baits the press secretary and bashes the president?” asks Pat Buchanan in The American Conservative. CNN says that if Trump succeeds in pulling Acosta’s press pass, it could have a “chilling” effect on other White House correspondents. But if it has a chilling effect on … [Read more...]
Jon Tester: A Gun Rights Jekyll and Hyde
Back home in Montana, Jon Tester talks a big game on the campaign trail. According to him he's a just a farmer who will fight for Montanans' second amendment rights in the halls of power. But once he gets far away in Washington D.C., a sort of Jekyll and Hyde transformation must overtake Tester, because rather than fighting for Montanans, he enables his liberal caucus in their efforts to infringe on your gun rights. The NRA has called Tester "D.C. Jon Tester," for his loyalty to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. Recently the NRA even downgraded Tester to the grade of "D" for his vote … [Read more...]
“I Live in Maine, can I bring my Gun to New Hampshire?”
Thanksgiving and Christmas are major travel holidays. As you prepare for this season, it's a good plan to review the rules of any states you'll be travelling through if you plan on carrying your firearm. To get started, reread this post from June 9, 2017. As travel season approaches, it’s always a good idea to review gun travel laws because they do change frequently. For example, I was speaking with a friend that lives in Maine and is heading to the White Mountains in New Hampshire to do some overnight backpacking. The question that came to mind was, can he carry across the … [Read more...]
