Roll Call reports that Levi Sanders is seriously considering a run for Congress in New Hampshire’s first Congressional District.

 I’m definitely considering it. I’m excited, motivated and interested in the race,” Sanders told Vice News Thursday. “I’m just dotting my I’s and crossing my T’s.”

So what are the differences between Bernie and Levi? According to Levi, “the basic difference is that I’m a vegetarian and he’s not.” Levi “plans to run on a super-progressive platform — Medicare for all and free college tuition.”

After horrible shootings like at Parkland, it’s understandable that people might cast about thoughtlessly blaming people and demanding quick “solutions”.  Unfortunately leftist solutions so loudly and immediately promoted as “common sense” gun controls wouldn’t have prevented or stopped these attacks, and leftists fight against the obvious solution that could defeat such attacks.

The people like the NRA, Constitutionalists, lawful gun-owners, and others who fight for effective, rather than seductively sounding but totally ineffective, solutions are not to blame for these events.  Nor is the gun to blame.

People intent on killing can always find a way.  It’s easier to get a gun illegally than to buy one from a legal gun dealer.

Well, well, with all of the other news going on this week, look what’s happening now – another campaign promise kept (reformatted, emphasis mine):

Border wall work begins in downtown Calexico

The federal government began work Wednesday to replace a section of border wall in California, the first wall contract awarded in the Trump administration outside of eight prototypes that were built last year in San Diego. Customs and Border Protection is replacing a little more than two miles in downtown Calexico, a sliver of the president’s plan for a “big, beautiful wall” with Mexico. A barrier built in the 1990s from recycled metal scraps and landing mat will be torn down for bollard-style posts that are 30 feet high, significantly taller than existing walls…In November, SWF Constructors of Omaha, Neb., won a contract for $18 million to replace the wall in Calexico, about 120 miles east of San Diego. It encompasses an area bisected by the New River, where smugglers are known to guide people through polluted waters. The project, which includes a bridge over the river, is expected to take 300 days.

Two good bits of news out of the New Hampshire State Senate this week.

SB 490, an end of life study committee bill that was sold by the sponsor as a path to assisted suicide legislation, was put to death by a vote of 12-10.

Cornerstone thanks the senators who voted ITL. Contact information for senators is at this link.

Sens. Giuda, Daniels, and Gannon spoke against the bill during today’s floor debate. Sen. Soucy was the only Democrat to vote ITL, and her vote was critical to passage of the ITL motion.

Respect for the dignity of human life won when SB 490 lost.

Another bill put to bed, so to speak, was a pathway to fight for fifteen, proposed by Dem. Sen. Soucy.

As I have been blogging about the Windham School Board’s seemingly problematic process in implementing their Transgender bathroom/locker room policy, I decided to ask further. Given that they receive State tax funding, I find it entirely appropriate that NH’s Right To Know (RTK) law, as enshrined in RSA 91-A, should be used.  A government that is open and transparent should be the aspirational model we all seek. When Government, at any level, is not transparent, bad things happen (“the road to hell is paved with good intentions” is only the best case scenario).  I do have some materials that a number of birdies have tweeted over – something ain’t jiving well here.  So let’s either let them use their own Big Flashlights on themselves – or we’ll shine ours on them.

SHOT: Obama Says Manufacturing Jobs Aren’t Coming Back

“When somebody says like the person you just mentioned who I’m not going to advertise for, that he’s going to bring all these jobs back. Well how exactly are you going to do that? What are you going to do? There’s no answer to it,” Obama said, refusing to even say Trump’s name.

“He just says, ‘I’m going to negotiate a better deal.’ Well how? How exactly are you going to negotiate that? What magic wand do you have? And usually the answer is, he doesn’t have an answer,”

As most readers will know I was working with James O’Keefe when his excellent gorilla journalists videotaped four Australians, during the lead-up to our New Hampshire Presidential Primary.  They were paid by the Australian Labor Party to come to the US and work for Comrade Bernie Sanders. This involved working with Sanders in several states as well as working against Hillary Clinton.

At the time I looked up the law that prevents foreign nationals from contributing a “thing of value” to a campaign.

Paid campaign workers are “a thing of value.”

Massive Overnight Twitter Purge Outrages Conservatives.

“Users locked out of accounts, lose thousands of followers.”

Plus: “Gab TV broadcast the reports they are getting by the thousands of people locked out. Twitter seems to be labeling Trump supporters ‘Russian bots’ and banning them until they provide confidential information most people don’t want Twitter to have.”

My account seems unaffected, but I’m good about blocking bots just as soon as they start following me. So I suspect Twitter really is purging fake accounts — but so far they seem to be letting leftwing bots slide.

The culture question will continue to dominate our discussion as we work our way through why a troubled kid shot up a school.  But Democrat-Progressive policy may have some part to play as well.

Back in July 2012, the Obama Administration formalized a rule warning school districts to consider race when handing down discipline. It warned against schools using “methods that result in disparate use of disciplinary tools.” 

In 2015 Broward County Florida, the county where 17 people just died in a mass shooting, adopted a plan along those lines.

If you’d like to browse through a detailed overview of New Hampshire’s history of entitlement abuse, then I’ve got the article for you. It starts like this.

Today, the New Hampshire Senate began a public debate about reauthorizing Obamacare Medicaid expansion. Since 1991, New Hampshire has been funding a large portion of its general fund from a Medicaid scam loophole. We have since expanded the program and are now proposing to deceptively use the opioid crisis to expand and make more permanent our 27-year orgy of fiscal irresponsibility.

Along the way, we get bits and pieces of a scam that’s been unrolling over the backs of future generations for, well, generations.
