Environmental protesters showed up outside the office of a Wisconsin power company (Madison Gas & Electric- MG&E) to protest the offense of energy made possible by cheap and abundant resources. They were demanding that the power company mix in more wind and solar because keeping rates that low would disincentivize customers from considering more expensive green energy alternatives.
More expensive and…?
High Point University in North Carolina did a survey in NC, CO, and NH. Some of the questions covered issues that come up often so I synopsized some of the NH results and posted the entire pdf on the jump. These are the NH results only for the 824 likley voters surveyed.
63% to 32% said the country was “seriously off on the wrong track.”
54%-41% Disapprove of Obama
48%-47% Disapprove of Jeanne Shaheen (5% don’t know or did not answer)
48%-46% Shaheen over Brown if the election were today. (5% don’t know or did not answer)

CDC Wins Big Budget Deal
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will see an 8.2 percent budget increase for fiscal 2014, thanks to a $1.1 trillion spending bill announced by Congress Jan. 13.
This influx of cash will raise the CDC budget to $6.9 billion, which is $567 million more than it received in 2013. This is more than the agency anticipated, because the president’s fiscal year 2014 budget request for it was just $6.6 billion — a decrease of $270 million from fiscal 2012.
Of the $6.9 billion, $1.3 billion was allocated to protect the United States from foreign and domestic threats, both intentional and naturally occurring. $255 million will go to support bio-defense efforts, and $160 million will be set aside for states to address their most pressing public health needs. The CDC will get $30 million for Advanced Molecular Detection (AMD), which will help identify potential disease outbreaks earlier and more accurately.
Obama requested a CDC Budget Decrease. He wanted them to get $270 million less dollars in 2014. Republicans voted to give the CDC $567 Million more dollars.

Be you didn’t know this…. “…many of (John) Kerry’s Arab American supporters say they were moved by his October speech, and by the prominence in his campaign of other Arab Americans like Bill Shaheen, a lawyer and the husband of former New Hampshire governor Jeanne Shaheen, who chairs Kerry’s campaign.

Shaheen fiddled away for years at whatever it is she does in DC while vets across every political line imaginable were dying on VA waiting lists. And by the way…”Granite State Forward” is just another creature of Ray Buckley and the Democrat Party. It is anything but a grassroots operation. It … Read more
Anyone can claim to be a Republican, and they do! SO thank you for telling us who you are because we are happy to share that with our readers.
Now you will know. These sorry individuals are registered with the GOP but support the left-wing extremism of Democrat Peggy Gilmoure. Proof that there can be no Republican unity with RINO’s because they really do want you to vote for Democrats, no matter what the party registration.
And don’t forget to keep this list so you can check these names after the election to see if 1) any non-resident voters show up voting from their homes and 2) if they show up on checklists in Nashua when they live in a different Senate district.
Vote for Kevin Avard – the only Republican in the race.
The list is on the jump!

File Under: The TEA Party was right again.
The United States is set to be crowned the world’s largest producer of liquid petroleum this week, knocking Saudi Arabia off the top spot for the first time in two decades. The Shale-boom states are booming. (Times UK/Pay wall)
The United States is set to be crowned the world’s largest producer of liquid petroleum this week, knocking Saudi Arabia off the top spot for the first time in two decades.
The shale oil and gas boom in America has led to output increasing from about 8 million barrels a day in 2011 to approaching 12 million barrels.
Production includes oil and gas, promotes export growth for NH Governor Maggie Hassan to brag about , and has been fingered for stopping the steady rise in prices as well as sowing some discord in OPEC. Middle-East oil producers are now lowering prices to Europe and Asia to secure orders and the Saudi’s are selling November crude for around 79$ a barrel.
I can’t share them all, but Steven Goddard’s Twitter feed is a wealth of links to things that should embarrass Democrats and Climate alarmists alike. He has old news clippings about weather events, current data, links that expose the left’s alarmist lies, humor, and…these examples. The last one is…well, you’ll know it when you see … Read more

Remember in late 2007 when Mr. Jeanne Shaheen took one for the Clinton team in the run up to the 2008 Democrat primary? Jeanne couldn’t do it, she was going to run for the US Senate, but Billy had some free time… Shaheen said Obama’s candor on the subject would “open the door” to further … Read more
I found this on a private Facebook group and thought it very amusing… Job opening: Hobo Qualifications: must not be a hipster or faux hippy just trying out the “hobo lifestyle” with an iPhone and a debit card tucked away in your “distressed” satchel.
I think it might be time to give Obama a Nobel Prize in economics. This is a guy who has not had one day of his presidency where the US was not involved in an overseas contingency operation (see also a War), who has facilitated the bombing of several countries since his election (destabilizing them), … Read more
A Byzantine Sexual Consent Law Like California’s?
Yesterday Susan posted a link regarding an LSR submitted by NH House Rep Renny Cushing, (D-Rockingham District 21.)
Renny has proposed a bill (like one recently passed in California) that would require all universities, in New Hampshire’s case public and private, to adopt and enforce a set of draconian rules for all human sexual interaction on campus.
Yes, the prophesied anti-sexual theocracy is upon us. But the long feared bedroom invasion comes not from the Christian right. It comes from the religion of the secular humanist-social justice Democrats in the New Hampshire House.
From Guinta for Congress
MANCHESTER – This morning, Frank Guinta was with Jack Heath on WGIR, an event initially slated to be a debate between him and Congresswoman Shea-Porter. The Congresswoman declined to attend.
She has also failed to accept a debate invitation from New England College. Additionally, she has repeatedly refused to hold a public town hall meeting since the beginning of her term in 2013. Recently, the Congresswoman released a list of alleged public town halls that she held, including one that supposedly occurred in Hooksett.
Don Wintertown, a Town Councilor from Hooksett, released the following statement:
