House Democrats are apologizing to the IRS for having to be subjected to congressional oversight.  (Does the Democrat House orientation day actually cover the role of congress?  Just asking.)

This outpouring of liberal empathy for this domestic terror group–operating with the full force of law they claimed for themselves–comes as a result of other members of the US House grasping the important oversight role assigned to congress.  They are asking questions.  They are trying to determine who gave the IRS permission to target, intimidate (Bully!) private groups and citizens.  They are investigating actions taken and not taken, to insure equality, transparency, and efficient government for all Americans–things President Obama promised the people that the IRS is having a hard time delivering.

So are Democrats apologizing for Mr. Obama lying?

We told the NH legislature to wait before passing SB319 ( a bill to establish a 25 foot no free speech buffer zone around every abortion/women’s health care facility in the state), but they didn’t listen.  Now, a Supreme Court decision on a case in Massachusetts has made SB319 a violation of first amendment rights.  Funny.  Isn’t that what we said it was?

By unanimous decision the US Supreme Court has ruled that an abortion buffer zone in Massachusetts is unconstitutional and violates first amendment rights.

The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down a 35-foot protest-free zone outside abortion clinics in Massachusetts.

The justices were unanimous in ruling that extending a buffer zone 35 feet from clinic entrances violates the First Amendment rights of protesters.

The VA is the template of government run medicine.  Vets have been mistreated, untreated, sat on waiting lists, and have died.  The government bureaucrats have hidden the incompetence and malfeasance and continue to receive rewards.  This is how big government at a distance works.

Change ‘VA’ with ‘ObamaCare’ if you want to see your families future.

“The problems at the VA are worse than anyone imagined,” Coburn said.

“Over the past decade, more than 1,000 veterans may have died as a result of VA malfeasance,” the senator added. “Poor management is costing the department billions of dollars more and compromising veterans’ access to medical care.”

One of the greatest sins of climatism will be the body count.  Winters are getting colder.  The long range predictions by people not on the taxpayer funded Climate

chaos payroll suggests decades of colder winters.  Team Climate Chaos is working hard to stamp out cheap, abundant energy, which will make longer and colder winters more difficult to weather.

Humans can easily survive a few degrees of warming.  Cold, however, shuts affected areas down, shortens growing seasons, damages crops, stresses infrastructure and public safety and maintenance resources, makes it twice as hard to get fuel to the people who need it, and claims more life as a result.

Making energy cost more, or insisting on a government managed green energy agenda that is ill-suited to real-world need, exacerbate this problem. Granny isn’t going off any cliff, she’ more likely to freeze to death.

Democrats, to be honest, just don’t give a sh*t.   They are in it for the politics.

If you add all the Obama budgets and the deficit you get some huge number with ‘Trillions’ after it.   Democrats took the taxpayers on a spending binge that doubled the deficit, burdened them with a massive new entitlement, encouraged middling to declining growth, the worst labor participation rate in decades, record Welfare, food stamp, and dependency, so what do they do?  They let millions of illegal immigrants in, complete with no skills, no grasp of our language, and any number of illnesses–not to mention real criminals.

So this news can’t possibly be that bad.

The Commerce Department revised its estimates of first-quarter gross domestic product Wednesday to show that the economy contracted at a 2.9 percent annual rate. A combination of shrinking business inventories, terrible winter weather and a surprise contraction in health care spending drove the first-quarter decline, which is the worst since the first quarter of 2009, when the economy shrank at a 5.4 percent rate.

“Their next higher category from Snow Emergency is Nuclear Attack.”

Long… but reposted here in its entirety:

“Metropolis

Remus lived in a big east coast city for a while, not near it, in it. He saw many amazing things but none more amazing than the mindless panic over a bit-o’-snow. His first experience left him bewildered. Picture a snowfall barely thicker than the soles of your shoes, gone by noon-thirty or near enough. The news outlets made the story last well into the next day. They looked exhausted.

Reporters outfitted for an arctic caribou drive interviewed city service reps with breathless urgency, interspersed with video of people using maxed-out snow blowers to clear driveways barely longer than their 4WD SUVs, you know, the Hummer-type vehicles they steer around twigs in the road. Urgent updates rivaled 9/11 for grim-faced gravity and, after warning people to stay home and do their own appendectomies, came frantic appeals to stay calm. Priceless. Weather reporters, normally a perky lot, put on their apocalypse face and warned of, yes, worse to come. It didn’t. It couldn’t. Their next higher category from Snow Emergency is Nuclear Attack.

There is some rumbling under the surface with regard to the original source of the “unity” letter NH-GOP Chair Jennifer Horn publicly delivered to Senator Bob Smith.  (My thoughts on what might constitute actual Republican unity can be found here.)

I am told that the Smith campaign sent a private letter to the chairperson to clear up any doubt about the source of (what I have been calling) the unity letter.

Four days have passed without a response so the Smith campaign is now making their request for clarification public.  Here it is.
