Once You Sets Foot on The New Hampshire Speech Plantation…you best know the rules before speaking.

Free speech exists to protect us from government tyranny so whenever the government or one of its surrogates tries to argue in favor of using government force to control political speech you need to pay attention.  When they actually write themselves a law to do it, you need to stop it.  New Hampshire’s SB 120 is just such a bill.

SB 120 gives the people with the most to fear from free speech (Politicians, bureaucrats, government agencies and the non-profit and lobbyist/Lawyer pilot fish that feed off the taxpayer dollars that fund government) the ability to limit everyone elses speech on their terms; terms that always favor the elected and entrenched over the rest of us.  They might as well be princes invoking the royal ‘We,’ as in “We will decide who can speak, where, when, and how much–about what we are doing with your money.”

The Wall Street Journal Delivers the Bad News.  We’re not getting screwed by Big Bankers, who at least pretend to make their money in the open market, we are getting screwed by government regulators who get paid with tax dollars.

It is true that the very top bank executives make more in a year than most of us make in a lifetime, but compensation of this magnitude is rare. Most banks in this country are small businesses and pay employees modest salaries. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the average annual salary of a bank employee was $49,540 in 2012, not much higher than the average annual across all occupations, $45,790.

Yet one group in banking stands out as highly paid—federal bank regulators. Before theDodd-FrankAct, the average employee of a federal bank regulatory agency received 2.3 times the average compensation of a private banker. By 2013 this ratio increased to more than 2.7—and in some cases considerably more.

Cornography…

A $500,000 study paid for by the federal government and released Sunday in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Climate Change concludes that biofuels made with corn residue release 7 percent more greenhouse gases in the early years compared with conventional gasoline.

While biofuels are better in the long run, the study says they won’t meet a standard set in a 2007 energy law to qualify as renewable fuel.

Proponents of the fuel (who have or stand to make a fortune off the stuff) are calling the study bunk, that its data and assumptions are absurd.  Hmmm.  Are these people Cellulosic residue emissions deniers?

Time for another clip from our interview with NH activist Jerry DeLemus at the Bundy Ranch in Nevada.

In this clip Jerry tells us a bit about the Bundy family and then describes the intimidation factor; how the Bundy’s couldn’t let their kids outside to play for fear they might get shot by the Federal Government’s snipers.  Welcome to Obama’s America.

When someone tells you a pair of rich brothers are trying to buy up the government do you think of Tom and Jim Steyer?  You should.  They are looking to buy up the US Senate for Liberal Democrats, and Tom has admitted as much.  They want to impose a radical green agenda on the nation–from which they will (coincidentally?) profit at taxpayer expense.

NH Senator Jeanne Shaheen, who attended an exclusive fundraiser at the Steyer compound outside San Francisco, where she feasted on salmon and grass-fed beef from the Steyer ranch, is in line to benefit from their largesse.
