Neal Kurk’s Assault on the Truth

Tweet Kurk 1

To understand why Representative Kurk is #FullofSchiff, we need to understand how SB 193 works.  From a prior post:

The bill provides that an “eligible student” can receive a grant from the State equal to 95 percent of the per-pupil funding the State provides to municipalities to pay for the cost of an “adequate education” (currently $3,636.00) in order to fund an “education freedom savings account.” The account must be opened through an approved scholarship organization and the funding can be used to pay only for “qualifying educational expenses.”

Quick Thought – Another view of “Neal Kurk’s Assault on the Truth” – Amelia M Keane is economically illiterate

Tweet Kurk 1Ed does a good job at taking apart NH State Rep (and House Finance Chair) Neil Kurk who deliberately wanted SB193 to fail and used all kinds of #FullOfShiff reasons to deliberately state untrue (IMHO) crap to persuade the ignorant-of-the-real-workings of the bill. You’d think that he’d think the whole thing over even if just from a political aspect – the more teachers, the more in the unions (because school districts / school boards have been “union captured”) means more money for the unions in dues.  And where does that dues money go?  Yes, a lot of it (the NEA and the ATF have historically been amongst the unions giving heavily to Democrat issues and Democrat candidates.  So, go thank your local Republican for making it harder to elect Conservatives/Libertarians to replace Democrats in office.

That’s one thing out of the way – back to Amelia who showed her ignorance (or is lying – take your pick) on how taxes get applied.  She’s absolutely wrong.

Sorry NH Women but some Republican Men say ‘F**K Your Feelings’

reaganbradley
Senators John Reagan and Jeb Bradley decided Granite State women don’t actually matter.

Last week Republican MEN decided to pass House Bill 1319 (HB 1319) aka the Gender Identity bill in order to allow biological men who ‘feel’ like women to gain access to women-only sex-segregated spaces. Apparently, the feelings of these biological men are far more important than the women whose spaces they will be allowed to occupy.

Of course, women have been using women-only spaces like bathrooms with trans women for years without a problem but an out-of-state multi-millionaire wanted to use Republicans as an experiment to see how many moron Republicans it takes to push legislation that infringes upon Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion and women’s rights.

The Press, Corporations, Campaign Finance, and The First Amendment

Will Democrats defend Obama silencing the press?Eugene Volokh is writing a series of articles on Free Speech and freedom of the press over at Reason. In this installment, he looks at exceptions afforded to a special class of corporate ‘speakers’ the professional press.

Under any sensible accounting scheme, an editorial supporting a candidate would cost a lot in labor costs and the editorial’s share of newsprint, ink, and distribution costs. That would often far exceed $1000; and most newspapers are of course organized as corporations. Likewise for extended coverage supporting or opposing a candidate, when engaged in by an opinion magazine.

Female Student Could Get 6 Years in Prison for Falsely Reporting a Rape

Pro-rape Democrats and sexual-assaultSacred Heart University dismissed two football players from the team and rescinded their scholarships (essentially expelling them) without any due process based solely on an accusation of rape without due process.

The alleged victim lied and is “charged with falsely reporting an incident and “tampering with or fabricating physical evidence””

Nikki Yovino, now 20, now faces up to six years in prison if convicted of both felony and misdemeanor charges.

Where So-Called “Trans Rights” May Violate Title IX

Transgender bathroomNew Hampshire is on the verge of denying rights to people under the pretense of providing them. The Trans bill sailed through the House under the cover of giving something to a class of persons what they already had under existing law. Rights they’ve been exercising all along.

In the process, the Legislature has handed lawyers a colossal bag of easy money while complicating the lives of thousands of business owners and hundreds of local municipalities who must know address the needs of an unknown number of claimants to these rights. Unknown because anyone can claim them at any time in a toxic culture where daring to question their veracity is equally treacherous.

Tales from the SDGANH

Ah yes, another series like my Tales from the Budcomm.  SDGANH (logo coming soon) is the School District Governance Association for NH; consider it the Conservative / Libertarian alternative to the Socialist / Collective leaning School Board Association of NH (who have already made it clear they will brook no dissent or competition from the Right).  Today is their Annual meeting and I’ll have a few bon mots as it goes along. This is their second Annual meeting (at the Nackey Loeb School of Education).

If you are a Conservatarian (or leaning) and on a School Board or a Budget Committee dealing with a School Board, this is the place to be you need to be here. If you think that the School Board is supposed to represent the taxpayers instead of being boosters of the Superintendent, you need to be here.  If you know that you are supposed to be representing your taxpayers and not just the school system / SAUs, you need to be here.

Quick Thought: “Medicaid expansion passes NH House on voice vote”

That’s the headline at the Union Leader on the NH Republican elected officials continuing Obamacare in NH, one of the most contentious pieces of legislation over the last five years.  What a weseal way of passing such legislature!  Nice, easy way to keep your constituents from holding you accountable for a package that may well lead to … Read more

Data Point: Diversity on colleges only goes skin-deep

Emphasis mine: A new study shows liberal bias on campus by the numbers, revealing a startling gap between Democrats and Republicans among college faculty. Nearly 40 percent of the colleges surveyed had zero professors who identify as Republicans. Using a sample of 51 top-ranked liberal arts colleges, the study looked at 8,688 full-time, Ph.D.-holding professors and found that … Read more

Healthcare In New Hampshire: A Brief History

medicade- Looks refreshing, but always comes back to haunt you laterBy Aaron Day

Today the Republicans lead the charge to re-authorize Obamacare Medicaid expansion. The budget for New Hampshire for the past 27 years is built on a funding mechanism that borrows billions from children and ignores making real structural changes. Our healthcare system would be better and less expensive if we didn’t rely on the Federal Government and opened up the state to free markets in healthcare.

Here is a brief history of how New Hampshire got here. We will have to deal with this eventually. It is up to us to decide if we will address proactively or from a position of absolute crisis.

You Want to Talk About Cultural Appropriation? Let’s Do that!

statue-of-liberty-2501264_960_720With all This Talk about Cultural Appropriation when is someone going to start focusing on how the Democrat party has appropriated (or been appropriated) by secular-humanist-socialist-Marxism?

It’s not American. It contradicts most, if not all the cultural foundations or tenents of our nation. So, why does the modern Democrat party, its politicians, and their mouthpieces, get away with appropriating a late 18th-century Euro-Russian worldview and forcing it down our throats?

Update From Michelle Levell on Education Savings Account Legisaltion [Updated]

Education spending piggy bank shutterstock_2803878-600x385

From Michelle Levell

HUGE NEWS — Late last night the Senate tacked on the original ESA bill version to HB 1636, a charter school bill. This is awesome news!! This means it goes to House Education for a recommendation to concur or reject, or Committee of Conference.

Our objective is to get all our YES reps there for when the House votes on that. I’ll get a list to you asap for who we need to target. But this is huge!

The original Senate version is much

better financial structured (easier and a huge savings to the state), has broader eligibility with no income limits, and is the most-liberty ESA bill ever!

We’ll share that list when it becomes available.

Some Voters Are More Equal Than Others

voterfraudThe old “loophole” argument is back at it again when it comes to voter fraud in NH. The “powers that be” who will not prosecute out-of-state voters have determined there is no law mandating a NH driver’s license to vote in NH. That is their current excuse.

This simpleton argument has no merit, but it does sound good – if you like out-of-state voters stealing a recent US Senate Seat election for Maggie Hassen.

Here is the specific language of RSA 654:1 regarding who can vote in NH.

Woman Celebrated for Killing 3.5 Million People

planned-parenthood-parts-serviceThe Twitterverse murmured #ThankYouCecile the other day to mark the end of Cecile Richards’s tenure leading the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Hats off to the Babylon Bee for skewering that bit of social media hashtagging: “Woman Celebrated for Killing 3.5 Million People.”

That satirical bull’s eye came just a few days after another one from the same source: “Planned Parenthood Defends Bill Cosby: ‘Sexual Assault Is Only 3% Of What He Does,’” I wish I’d written that.

But in all seriousness, Richards is a consequential woman.

Why? Because the Left has redefined the word “tolerance”

…to mean that they only tolerate those that agree with them.  Other people, certainly not so much; they’re vaunted “Anti-Bullying” program goes out the window (isn’t that right Dan Williams, when it comes to Libertarians?).  This LtE (Letter to the Editor) caught my eye this morning:

To The Daily Sun,

Why do Democrats attack conservative women? Why do Democrats bully conservative women? Why do Democrats hate successful conservative women? An example of this was the attack by the so-called comedian on Sarah Huckabee Sanders. The so-called comedian attacked her looks not her beliefs, she embarrassed her in public, abused her and intimidated her. Democrats attacked Condoleezza Rice on her hairstyle and her choice of wearing black jackets. Conservative women have endured bullying remarks like:

— She is not a woman
— She is a little child
— She is not educated
— Let’s make fun of her accent
— Killing babies is a joke; you need to knock them out

We were in tears seeing a lovely person like Sarah Huckabee Sanders bullied, intimidated and embarrassed on TV. Jimmy Kimmel thought it was funny.

I do not understand why Democrats are bullies and mean to conservative women.
