Like many Democrats, Mayor Joyce Craig appears to have an issue with regard to exaggeration. She’s made some remarkable declarations to the NH House Finance Committee about the financial cost to Manchester Schools if SB 193 becomes law. I’m guessing she’s either got bad information or she’s just so keen on protecting the Unions that back her campaigns that she’s forgotten basic multiplication. I have to wonder if she suffered from poor education choices as a child.

She wouldn’t stoop to lying, right?

The Left is forever inventing things people are entitled to at the expense of others. There’s a movement brewing that demands free feminine care products as a right.

This should seem odd because not every human wants or needs them but then, these are liberals. For the left, it is not about rights, but the control government accumulates through entitlements. Free stuff requires more bureaucrats and bigger budgets, so this is a trap.

The most damning thing, so far, in the long talked about the memo, is that the FISA warrant issued to spy on the Trump Campaign and the Trump transition would never have been issued without the dossier we now know to be a fabricated political hit piece paid for by the DNC and the Clinton Campaign.

The FBI and the DOJ are alleged to have known the origins of the Steele Dossier but requested and continued to engage in what amounts to illegal surveillance.

The New Hampshire Income Tax is not dead yet. Yes, the subcommittee recommended the bill as Inexpedient to Legislate (ITL), and odds are improving that the full committee will follow suit, but the subcommittee minority report included an amendment that is (presumably) meant to make the bill more “appealing” to the Republican majority committee and legislature. Or maybe not.

Elliot Axelman, writing at LibertyBlock.com, has the update.

The House Commerce Committee voted the bill ‘Inexpedient to Legislate’ which is good news but does not bind the representatives to vote that way once the whole House votes on HB628. The Democrats on the committee voted to support the bill with an amendment that makes the bill much worse than it already was.

When I hear the President use the word “American” it means, you, me, us, the United States, that sort of thing. When the ACLU hears ‘American,’ at least coming from Mr. Trump, it means something else.

“Tonight, President Trump said the word ‘America’ more than 80 times in his speech. Yet, after a divisive first year, we hear and feel how exclusionary that ‘America’ is, with policies that have harmed so many vulnerable American communities,” the director said.

 Wayne Allyn Root describes what he calls the suicide of the Democrat Party during President Trumps State of the Union. He’s also got some polling to share. And you can get all of that in the first 10-11 minutes. Trigger warning to Libs, progs, and trolls.

Is there a Media editorial blackout on opposition to HB 628, a tax on income disguised as an unnecessary, poorly written “family leave act” entitlement? Opponents of the measure report that while they have submitted letters to the editors of several New Hampshire newspapers they have not seen their remarks find their way into print.

Inspired by my title for this article… and yes, it’s to the tune of Hotel California.

In an old Concord building
Legislators debate
On the plan for insurance
In HB 628

But the public has found out
They should never relax
What these legislators actually want
Is an income tax

Max Ledoux from Tuftonboro, New Hampshire has an excellent video testimony about SB 395, legislation that would,

“…make clear statutorily that government entities can not charge for electronic copies, but would not change how the courts have already interpreted the existing Right to Know law.”

Democrats better hang on to their s**tholes because Trump just hit another one out of the park.

Just one week after the Trump administration announced a massive 30% tariff on imported solar panels, one of China’s largest solar panel manufacturers announced plans to open a manufacturing plant in the United States.

The company, JinkoSolar, said on Monday that they have received the green light from their board of directors to “finalize planning for the construction of an advanced solar manufacturing facility in the U.S.”

HB 628 (An Act that would institute a New Hampshire Income tax) passed the NH House 183 to 151 on January 9th, 2017. The bill has another hearing this week followed by another vote. Here is a reminder about the 33 Republicans whose vote for an Income Tax in New Hampshire are the only reason it is still alive. (Only one Democrat voted against the Income-tax.)

Long before the “massive” contamination of a portion of Merrimack New Hampshire’s water supply, I was aware of PFOA’s. The Teflon adhering chemistry was already on the radar of the usual suspects as a potential source of easy revenue, actual science be damned, through media sensationalism, scare-tactics, and inevitably – lawsuits.

The Family and Medical Leave Insurance Act, HB 628, isn’t taking any time off. Instead, the bill is working its way steadily through the New Hampshire House, full of the promise, pleading, and puffery common to many progressive proposals. Let’s hope its journey ends short of becoming law.

From Frank Sinatra who did it his way to Pedro Cerrano in the movie Major League who said, “F— You! Jobu, I do it myself,” entertainment prides itself on featuring a “talent” who bails on their old conventions and grabs independence with both hands “and a flashlight.”

It’s a mixed message, coming from that liberal bivouac. Moving forward is old school socialism. Forward like a wrecking ball or a dozer. While doing it for yourself is the thing “Moving Forward” is meant to crush. So when dirty-coal billionaire turned environmental green monster Tom Steyer announced he’s done donating to the DNC because it “can’t find it’s own ass with both hands and a flashlight” (my words not his) I find that entertaining.
