As I wrote 10 days ago, I’m trying really hard to stay off Facebook … it’s hard; it’s like crack … but I’m trying. I had a few notifications this morning so I decided to check them and up popped this thread of people going back and forth about Hillary and...

A quick explanation on why I’ve unfriended people and will be stepping away from Facebook for the last 30 days of this election season (and possibly longer). Frankly, it’s time. For more than eight years, I’ve, for the most part, enjoyed being on Facebook. But during the last year, it has...

Two from the WSJ today: First, Peggy Noonan: The Year of the Reticent Voter What we are seeing this year is not that unusual. I’ve seen it in the local level, too, especially with property tax overrides in Massachusetts; no one wants to say how they will vote for fear of what their...

This graphic is making the rounds again. To be accurate, this graphic shows that the policies of both Democrats and Republicans currently in power don’t work. Obama and the Democrats controlled the White House, Senate, and House for two years between 2009-2011; Obama and the Democrats...

A Colin Van Ostern door-knocker came to the house today. Ayotte had someone up here three weeks ago. Post-FITN, that has been it, so far. As I’ve said previously, campaign people rarely visit us, for whatever reason. Mailers? Only four – Van Ostern, an anti-Trump from PPNNE, local...
