They make it look SO easy! (H/T: LIKECOOL)
But the $16,596,000,000 that the federal government spent on Monday–when it was shut down–was more in constant inflation-adjusted dollars than the federal government has spent before on the fourth Monday in January, according to the Daily Treasury Statements (going back to 1998) that are posted on the website of the Treasury Department’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service. … Read more

From the Associated Press: “Ratings Crash for Vikings-Eagles NFC Championship Game, Jags-Pats Earn Lowest Early Game Rating Since 2013”
Television ratings for the National Football League continue to plummet, stadium attendance diminishes week after week, and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell seems oblivious to the leagues deteriorating appeal among football enthusiasts.
We’ve been subjected to years of movie sequels and prequels and our fair of TV show retreads. The prime contemporary examples of the latter are the reboots of Roseanne with its entire cast (really, can you imagine Roseanne as a Trump supporter) and now one of the “iconic” TV shows that turned itself into a Progressive culture war spear:
‘Murphy Brown’ Revival Set At CBS With Star Candice Bergen & Creator Diane English
Seven cities in California are suing energy companies claiming that their contribution to global warming puts their municipalities at grave risk. That the energy industry giants misrepresented the dangers and in exchange for this malfeasance these cities should be rewarded with a little court-ordered public policy victory and some jackpot justice.
Somone at Exxon-Mobile decided to turn the tables. They are asking why the catastrophic claims made by these same municipalities in their lawsuit do no match the language used to woo bond investors?

New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu posted pictures on Facebook in celebration of school choice week. And while most of the comments I saw were favorable, the government-school-only crowd came out to give him grief.
Twenty-Two days ago I announced a Grok ‘Resolution’ of sorts. Our effort to overtake the Keene Sentinel in Alexa’s US Rankings. Everyone needs goals, right?
I’m happy to report that we’ve made some progress. The Berlin Daily Sun, which was between the Keene Sentinel and us is no longer in our way (at least for now). We’ve squeaked past them into the number 8 slot on our list improving from 73,950 in the US to 61,765.
Here is what is going on with the Winslow Case that was featured on Channel 9 last week.
I am trying to represent them under RSA 311 after their attorney filed a motion to withdraw before the final hearing.
The Town has started to take so-called junk from Winslow property even going to the lengths of entering his garage and trailer. Judge Messer stopped that last Wednesday, Jan. 11 with a motion for injunctive relief they filed before I met them.
While we were all focused on the #SchumerShutdown Mark Steyn reminded us about a twenty year anniversary. The vast right-wing conspiracy. What the meaning of “is” is. Bill Clinton cheating on his cuckquean co-president Hillary (again) this time with a White House intern named Monica Lewinsky.
Seriously – what has happened to Thou Shalt Not Kill (or in some translations, murder)? (H/T: Pew Research via Hot Air)
Immigrant rights activists right now are blocking #Disneyland entrance on S. Harbor in OC, blocking buses from entering the park. Civil disobedience underway. Protestors want to pressure Congress to pass a clean Dream Act. They chant “No dream. No deal.” pic.twitter.com/lsDZSksuhJ

Well, given the utter Senate Democrat collapse that turned the #SchumerShutdown into #SchumerCaved, I can see why the DACA recipients and other illegal immigrants (and the groups that want complete amnesty for them) are upset at the Democrat Party – and some are realizing they are nothing but political pawns to be thrown away as the Democrats need to. But there were a number of the DACA folks that deliberately decided that it is their mission in life to ruin things for ordinary folks simply because they have a mad on. From the LA Times, a post on making the “everyone must be miserable because I am” strategy and life mission of Democrats quite clear (reformatted, emphasis mine):
DACA recipients temporarily block Disneyland entrance as an act of civil disobedience
This is quite fun to watch Ben Shapiro absolutely demolish a Social Justice Warrior (sorta like he’s playing the part of Jesus to the Pharisees during the parable of the woman at the well): Ben Shapiro shares his thoughts on Affirmative Action, Equality of Outcome, and Social Justice, all in one fell swoop.

Seacoast progressives meet to set agenda
PORTSMOUTH – More than a hundred Seacoast progressives turned out for an informational session on the upcoming legislative agenda and mid-term elections Thursday night at the Unitarian-Universalist South Church.
Representatives from active, non-partisan campaigns in New Hampshire working to address topics ranging from social justice, education, health care and democracy issues all spoke about specific bills that have been submitted for the upcoming session, which number more than 1,000.
Hahahaha! Spin city – yet another media attempt to “normalize” socialist wordview people and organization, eh?
Today, organizations that make money as drug abuse treatment centers held a breakfast for legislators to urge them to continue supporting Obamacare’s Medicaid Expansion. These organizations directly benefit from taxpayer dollars because they rely on them in order to keep their doors open.
In fact, John Burns, Director of SOS Recovery, admitted that his organization will not stay in business if taxpayers don’t keep funding health insurance for able-bodied, childless adults who can work:
“Without Medicaid Expansion it’s not a question of whether we would survive – it’s black and white – we are done.” ~ John Burns, SOS Recovery #nhpolitics pic.twitter.com/A8HducNBoq

Tonight, the New England Patriots won the AFC Championship and will be headed, once again, to the Super Bowl. Of course, every news site was reporting it but one glaringly stood out for the absolute incompetence in their choice of a photo, WMUR.
You see, this photo isn’t of any current team member. According to the Pats’ roster, there is no current team player with an ’81’ jersey other than some dude on the practice squad and he looks nothing like the player in the photo.
In Vermont we have your typical mandatory public education story flipped on its head. There are not enough kids to have a high school!
The “locals” seem befuddled as to what to do. It seems without having a big expensive school system no one can figure out how to educate three high school kids. The cost per student is currently over $21,000 each per year.
Where are the Barrycades? Shouldn’t we have Barrycades?

In my opinion, one of the more important hearings last week was for HB 1739, addressing Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).
The mountain of testimony was not pleasant, but it was necessary for the committee to hear about this barbarous practice. Some cultures moving into New Hampshire want to continue practices from their home country that are not acceptable in America. It is important for each state to establish laws to reflect this.
