If nothing else, Super Saturday has proved that both Trump and Clinton are vulnerable and do not have the nomination sewed up. On the other hand I think Marco Rubio's days are numbered as he came away with nothing from this weekend. Whether he will stay in it along with John Kasich to force a brokered GOP convention is yet to be seen.****************
Voter suppression isn't just an urban phenomenon. It's happening in small town America as well, in this case in the town of Henniker, New Hampshire.It appears the town officials have somehow made a petition warrant article that delves into the issue of agritourism disappear from the town ballots. As long as the petitions follow the state laws and meet the criteria for acceptance of such petitions that govern such warrant articles, the towns have no choice but to include them.
Town officials have not given an explanation why this warrant article disappeared from the ballots, so one has to ask what the heck is going on there? It doesn't matter if the town's planning board is going to be working on this issue, the warrant article must be on the ballot unless it's defective, meaning that it didn't meet the requirements under state law. Again, no one is saying that is the case here.

This is just stupid. But what do you expect from a Blue State, logic?What will be next, arresting folks because some of the grass clippings from mowing their lawn happened to drift into a neighbor's yard?

Is it really a surprise to anyone paying attention that Netflix, as well as Amazon Prime, Hulu, and other streaming services are negatively affecting network, cable, and satellite television viewership?Other than the obvious factors driving increasing viewership on the streaming services, those being the lack of commercials, shows on demand, as well as exclusive shows not seen on linear television, one of the biggest factors is that cable and satellite television costs have been skyrocketing as content providers keep boosting their subscriber fees. It's reached the point where people aren't willing to pay exorbitant subscription fees for channels they don't watch and don't want. The streaming services offer an escape from the broken pricing model that has left cable and satellite service providers scrambling to realign and renegotiate programming packages in an effort to stem the tide of decreasing viewership.

This is something I linked to some years back, but it bears repeating.Yes, we New England Yankees are tolerant, probably more so than some folks. But we're tolerant from a distance.

One question the Greens never seem willing to answer when it comes to wind power: Who will clean up the 14,000 abandoned wind turbines across America?I find it ironic that the symbols of 'sustainable and renewable' energy are increasingly becoming a symbol of something else – an expensive boondoggle. The systems aren't as reliable as traditional sources of power. They require much more in the way of maintenance and their service lifetime is nothing to brag about, either.
I think it's well past time to rethink the push for wind power.

I'm just waiting for the final breaths of the long failing climate alarmism, letting it die a long overdue and well deserved death.It can't happen soon enough for me.
