As Twitchy points out (read the tweets and the comments they are all good), Media Mattress is trying to spin up business for Matt Damon’s  Elysium by selling it as a movie that  “forces the right to confront the world their ideology creates.”

Sony should slap that on a poster and see how many tickets it sells.

If you haven’t heard, “Elysium” features Damon trying to escape a future earth that looks a lot like Detroit for an orbiting paradise called Elysium, where rich Hollywood types live in luxury like they do here on earth.

Liberals really are incredibly ignorant, is naive a better word, how about in denial?

The Arborist just touched on it, I’m going to beat it with a bat.  (A Democrat approved methodology, let us not forget.)

Martha Fuller Clark’s memory is not terribly reliable.  So we probably can’t ask her to explain why a Lawyer from Arkansas (Bauxite AR to be exact) used her address to vote using a New Hampshire Absentee ballot, listing her Portsmouth Voter-Moter Motel home as his place of residence.

That’s right fair citizens of New Hampshire–those of you who are actual citizens of New Hampshire, not only do we have to contend with voter laws that allow this kind of crap…

I’m stealing Math Wizards headline, and why not; I’m posting their content.

Peg Luksik  years ago explained to all of us how Outcome Based Ed (OBE) was failing children in public schools.  She is back to explain the numerous problems with Common Core.  By the way, OBE is back in NH but renamed “Competency Based Ed”.  Yes that’s right, numerous reasons NOT to walk down that path again, and under Commissioner Barry, NH students are going to walk that failed path.

But enough about the failures of OBE…aka…Competency Based Ed, let’s look at how Common Core is going to data mine your children, erode local control in education, push lousy academic standards in your schools and let YOU pay for it.

While the local media continues to sleep, we continue to bring you information about what is going on in your NH public schools.

Video- Both parts – on the jump.

You may recall Ryan Fitzpatrick Flynn?  He was the professional campaigner who parachuted into Portsmouth just ahead of the November elections (in September of 2012) and registered to vote from Democrat State Senator Martha Fuller Clark’s home.   Well he appears to hail originally from Michigan.  That’s the beautiful state where Detroit happens to be.  I don’t hold that against them.

In Michigan they have laws that are meant to protect the integrity of the ballot box.  That way, they know that the people voting in their state on election day have met a slightly higher standard than some Democrat political party leaders vague understanding (or memory) of “intent” while allowing them to vote for her from her own home before slithering back to their real lives in their home states.

Voters in Michigan have made at least some small commitment to investing themselves in a life there, unlike New Hampshire, which is more like an Electoral whore house.

There is great value in ensuring that there are ample “entry-level” employment opportunities all across America, particularly in the current economy.  By entry-level I mean low wage positions that allow employers to take more risks with less skilled workers they are willing to train.  Let’s call it the employment equivalent of a property owner willing to build-to-suit for a lessee or renter.

The potential employee is raw material to be fashioned to meet the needs of that employers customers and who, if willing and able, can then improve their lot by demonstrating value, and acquiring skills, which then become useful to the employer and also in a broader range of other occupations.

A forced minimum wage tampers with this opportunity, even destroys it in many cases.

Having happily reported on last week’s New Hampshire State Supreme court decision regarding the meaning of ‘with’ as regards a weapon loaded or not; having then interviewed Evan Nappen not two days later on the same issue; we are happy to report that with a bit of a twist, New Hampshire now has, sort of, kind of, …almost, constitutional carry.

Evan Nappen put it like this…I’m paraphrasing.

Because of the clarification in the definition of a loaded weapon, and the fact that has always been legal to carry an unloaded weapon concealed, it is now possible to carry your weapon concealed and unloaded, with the loaded magazine near at hand, without having to acquire a permit.
