Happy President’s Day, and here’s my presidential story of the weekend.
I spoke with President Trump Friday night at Mar-a-Lago. He seemed like he’s in a better mood, and this was even before the ridiculous impeachment “trial” ended Saturday with his acquittal, and his lawyer demolishing the media in a liveshot with See BS News (more below).
After my radio show Friday night, Joe Piantedosi and I drove back to Palm Beach from Boca and met the mail-room manager at Mar-a-Lago. Our table for dinner was right next to POTUS’, and he came down at about 8 with Corey Lewandowski, Dave Bossie and Pam Bondi, the former AG of Florida who also worked as one of his lawyers.
As POTUS entered, the dining room, Joe, the mailroom manager and I all stood up and said hello. I extended my hand to shake and POTUS said, “No, we’ll get in trouble!” So I shook Corey’s hand.
Anyway, an hour or so later, we had finished dinner and were leaving. Usually, I look over his way and wave goodbye, and if he wants to talk, he calls me over. He was looking away, so we just walked on. I don’t want to impose myself on him (or anybody else).
So we were walking out through the lobby when I heard a voice behind me: “Mr. Carr, Mr. Trump would to speak with you.”
The mailroom manager was ahead of us, so Joe Piantedosi and I walked back into the dining room. One of the waiters moved the rope so we could walk into the private area. The president looked up and said, “Do you think I won New Hampshire, Howie?”
“Absolutely!” I said.
He thinks a lot about New Hampshire, about what happened both in 2016 and last year. In 2016, he blamed the “buses from Massachusetts,” but I think it was more the same-day registrations in the college towns. If you subtract the impossibly high turnouts in Durham, Hanover, Keene, Plymouth, etc., instead of losing by 3700 or so votes he wins the state, and so does Sen. Kelly Ayotte, for sure.
The reason POTUS asks me about this is that he associates me with New Hampshire. He was on my show, I was at his rallies. I was the host of the town hall in Sandown which was his dress rehearsal for the one in St. Louis where he cleaned Hillary’s clock.
To POTUS, I’m not so much the guy from Boston, or the guy who was born in Portland. I’m the guy who’s on seven radio stations in New Hampshire.
So I told him, how could you have lost when the NH GOP took over the legislature in Concord in absolute landslides – 67 House seats, 4 Senate seats. He knows this, I’m sure, so I asked him, did you hear what just happened in Windham?
“What happened in Windham?” he asked. I really had his attention now.
I told him – the town just did a hand recount, after all this time, of the legislative races in Rockingham House District 7. The four Republican candidates were each undercounted on the machines – in the hand recounts each GOP candidate picked up, respectively, 297, 299, 303 and 298 votes.
Isn’t that peculiar, how each Republican was undercounted by almost the exact same number?
“Has this been reported anywhere?” Trump asked, looking over at Corey Lewandowski, who lives in Windham.
“Not in the Union Leader,” I said. “At least I haven’t seen it.”
Corey looked at him. “I’ll get you the numbers,” he said.
The president briefly mentioned the trial – “I thought it was a good day,” he said, and no one said much of anything in response, because, let’s face it, it was such a ridiculous kangaroo-court farce that who wanted to waste time watching and getting pissed off about it, even if you’re headed to Mar-a-Lago for dinner.
Then the president asked me how my dinner had been, and that was like the old days, before he was even running, when during dinner he’d move from table to table like a super maître d’.
“I had the lobster risotto,” I told him. “It was great.”
Then he and Joe talked a little bit about their mutual friend, the late Regis Philbin. Finally we said good night.
It was great to see him in such a positive mood, and I can only imagine how pleased he must have been the next day when the travesty came to its pitiful end, and then his lawyer Michael van der Veen demolished some bimbo on See BS News.
What set van der Veen off was when this anchor cupcake by the name of Lana Zak (never heard of her before, how about you?) tried to pooh-pooh the falsification of evidence by the so-called House managers.
In case you missed it, and you probably did, they put blue check marks on Twitter accounts that didn’t have them (to somehow add credibility to meaningless, stupid comments). They also changed the dates on various postings, and they doctored video.
In other words, the Democrats falsified evidence, just as the FBI did on Carter Page in the application for search warrants in the secret FISA court.
And the Democrats (including of course See BS News) act like it’s no big deal, to try to frame somebody. I get it, it wasn’t a criminal trial so technically you don’t have to worry about niceties like due process, hearsay, Sixth Amendment rights to confront accusers etc. But still, is it proper to falsify evidence, and then, when you get busted red-handed, shrug it off because you were only doing it to a Republican?
Whatever happened to the American Civil Liberties Union?
Meanwhile, I mentioned in my Herald column on Friday that “grim milestone” has disappeared from the national media, because it can no longer be used against President Trump. Thus, when MA passed 15,000 deaths last week, it was just a matter of “reaches” or “passes,” but no… grim milestones.
Florida, on the other hand, has a (real) Republican governor, Ron DeSantis. So Sunday morning, in the Palm Beach Daily News (the Shiny Sheet), some pablum puking Democrat operative with a press pass mentioned that the Sunshine State’s nursing-home death toll had exceeded 10,000.
Can you guess how she described it?
Yup, a “grim milestone.”
“I’m the guy who’s on seven radio stations in New Hampshire. “
I listen to Howie using an internet connection to WFEA from Manchester.
I've got a strong suspicion that Trump was at Camp David in Maryland this weekend, and is still there... and leaving today.
Friday reports of Bidan going to CD for the weekend were just that - MSM reports. No videos, AFAIK, emerged. I'd expect at least some Bidan handlers taking advantage of the "Biden's first visit to CD" story. Although, I can also envision why his handlers would not do this - they want folks to wonder who really is/was at CD over the weekend.
However, if Trump was at CD, with his low profile since 1/21 still in effect (other than a memo on Friday), the CD news blackout makes much more sense than a Bidan news blackout.
As an aviation person (see handle), an FAA TFR went up Friday evening, and ends this afternoon. The configuration of this TFR shows the windows of entry/visiting/departure.
This may have been a joke, but it shows that the COVID mind-control even extends to the President of these United States. I weep for my country.
By the way, I shook hands with the song leader of my church yesterday. Sue me, Rona heads.
You’re still stuck in the old paradigm. How can you vote anyone out when they control who counts the votes? Demonrats control the counting apparatus for nearly all Federal elections, and on the ones they don’t yet control (CO, AL, etc), they unleash the hounds of Hell in the Demonrat News Media.
This might sound like a stupid question, but can a former President go to Camp David?? Unless... he’s not the former President..??
How do you figure all this...? Just asking!
Happy President’s Day Donald!
“TFR”?
“....for now, it’s payback time,...”
Yes, payback...very painful payback is in order.
To be precise...
“What happened in Windham?” he asked. I really had his attention now.

Corey looked at him. “I’ll get you the numbers,” he said.
I don't even know where Windham is, but I read FR and I found out about it.
Indeed, I'll even eat a little crow since I routinely bash GP for their horrible accuracy. Even though, in this case, all they did was report on a report, at least GP reported it. Kudos to them.
I'm not saying Trump needs to be fed every tidbit of data, nor that this is THE Smoking Gun. That said where in the Wide World of Sports were you on this, Corey?
John has a long mustache.
There are more than a few “Happy President’s Day, President Trump” on joe bidan’s Twitter account. What a hoot!
Exactly. Although, I believe neither biden nor President Trump are currently, today, POTUS.
Consider the show in congress last week - the cover was the vote that the impeachment trial was Constitutional, even though Trump was not current POTUS. Under the cover, though, the impeachment trial was technically Constitutional, because Trump IS POTUS.
Exactly. Why play by the rules of a game that no longer exists?
The fact that President Trump, the country’s duly elected president, is now spending time with Lewendowski means one thing is coming for sure:
” Road Trip!”
Why do you think the Dems are so scared as they are keeping the Capitol wrapped in twelve foot fences and razor wire, guarded by 6200 troops?
A lot of state legislatures controlled by Republican Trump supporters are about to receive a visit.
2nd amendment sanctuary state movement about to begin?
Whatever happened to the Union Leader?
They threw their lot into opposing Trump in 2016. Like every other news outlet they have downsized tremendously. They haven't had any strong editorial voice in 15 years sadly.
