New Hampshire’s New (Proposed) Income Tax

taxesThe latest attempt to impose an income tax on New Hampshire comes hidden under the veil of the “how could anyone but a cold-hearted bastard vote against” HB HB628, AN ACT relative to a family and medical leave insurance program.

Skip has done most of the heavy lifting here, here, and here, but there is another excellent resource on this legislation at LibertyBlock.com that I wanted to excerpt as well.

endfgm

On Wednesday, the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee will hear testimony on House Bill 1739 (HB 1739), AN ACT prohibiting female genital mutilation.

The legislation is aimed at ending the horrific practice of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) on girls under 18 years of age. FGM is “recognized internationally as a violation of the human rights of girls and women.” According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there are four types of FGM (Warning: this may be graphic to some):

DISQUS Doodlings – There’s always one in the bunch!

Government can best improve energy efficiency by starting with less governmentOf course this is from TreeHugger on a post labeled Efficiency is important, but it is time to get serious about sufficiency where the theme on the post how to decrease overall energy use and just not make things more efficient in their use of energy (because we keep making more and more things that use energy).  This snippet pretty much covers it (reformatted, emphasis mine):

Sufficiency can involve a reduction of services (less light, less travelling, less speed, lower indoor temperatures, smaller houses), or a substitution of services (a bicycle instead of a car, a clothesline instead of a tumble drier, thermal underclothing instead of central heating). Unlike energy efficiency, the policy objectives of sufficiency cannot be expressed in relative variables (like kWh/m2/year).

Quick Thought – Obama assessment

Obama-middle-finger-725x375No, not my words but I do think they fit:

Yet, I’ve always suspected that Obama has a gear in reserve, one he’s never been called on to display given the desire of so many to anoint him on sight (I assume his Harvard law professors called on him to display his full intellect, but we don’t know his law school grades). First gear will suffice with David Letterman and his audience. Second gear was always good enough for the mainstream media.

But after the Letterman interview and his chat with Prince Harry, perhaps it’s time for me to conclude that Obama has no gear beyond second. Perhaps it’s time for me to accept Rich Lowry’s assessment:

[T]he deepest truth about Obama is that there is no depth. He’s smart without being wise. He’s glib without being eloquent. He’s a celebrity without being interesting. He’s callow.

And that of Kevin Williamson:

A sad farewell to RightWingNews

rightwingnews_logoWhen Doug and I first started the ‘Grok in May, 2006, we just wanted a place to put our opinions and figured that we might, at BEST, get 4 or 5 people to read our musings.  Now almost 12 years later, we’ve had millions of visits, more than our share of Instalaunches and posts that went national, and I’ve had fun doing it!

RightWingNews was one of the national blogs that linked to us in that early time – something that I’ll always be thankful to John Hawkins for because that linking meant we weren’t as nuts as sometimes we thought we were. Someone actually thought we had ideas sufficiently intriguing to spend time with us. Now, years later, John has announced, like many other blogs that we have outlasted, that RightWingNews is shutting down.

How Do We Heat Our Homes If “Global Warming” Causes Extreme “Cooling”

Another cold week in New England 1-12 to 1-20
Another cold week in New England 1-12 to 1-20

Just because the new consensus among climate cult “scientists” is that freezing cold temperatures are a feature of ‘Global Warming’ don’t expect their worshippers to stop protesting fossil fuel delivery systems.

They piss and moan about moving natural gas by rail. They moan and groan about moving gas by pipeline. So where is the moaning and groaning about having to rely on oil, which produces 40% more CO2 per BTU when the so-called global warming derived freezing comes to call?

Data Point: Pew – US media bias ranks worst in the world

Americans on both sides of the political aisle believe the media does a poor job covering political issues fairly, according to a blockbuster new survey of media consumption in 38 nations. What’s more, the Pew Research Center’s study found that supporters of President Trump believe the media is doing a worse job covering politics than the supporters of … Read more

Lady, if you are trying to “white guilt” people, you need to take lessons from my late Mom

Social Justice Warrior ProfessorsIt never seems to end, does it?  If you are white (which the majority of Americans still are, and even afterwards will be the majority minority), you are guilty of all kinds of sins and evils simply because, not of your character, but by simple dint of your skin’s tint.  It seems from politics to the arts to the media and academia, if you are low on melanin, you are automatically The Oppressor regardless of what you haven’t done (or your ancestors – after all, what kind of a guilt party is to be had if SJWs can’t haul in your entire family tree into their fiery rage?).  Conscious, unconscious, be outright like the Klan or polite as all get out, “you will be made to care” (H/T: Erick Erikson) and be guilty because DIVERSITY!  And SOCIAL JUSTICE!  And POSTCOLONIALISM! And RAGE! And….you get the picture. The SJW chains of Oppression are out for anyone that disagrees with them.

And here comes this screed by a “chip on her shoulder” Reshmi Dutt-Ballerstadt who has decided to provide a list of  “tails you lose, heads you’re guilty” observations,

City Year challenged over MLK Day workshops on “Unpacking Whiteness”

Martin Luther King

On January 4, 2018, I received an email invitation to City Year’s Martin Luther King Day event (right).   The subject line of the email was “Free Family Event: Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!”  Candidly, I thought nothing of it and didn’t open the invitation until after I saw that I’d received multiple inquiries, complaints and statements of indignation about it.

WMUR CLOSEUP- Glad to hear it, Mr. Johnson

WMUR CLOSE UP

Given that Monday is Martin Luther King Day, today’s WMUR’s CLOSE UP had a segment on race relations here on NH.  Most of it was the expected verbiage from Adam Sexton’s

Sidenote: Congrats to Adam on his promotion to Political Director. In my dealing with Adam, I’ve always found him to be fair and balanced and generally has kept his politics (which I really don’t know how he leans) to himself and not in his reporting.

questioning of his two guests: Dr. Dottie Morris and Rogers Johnson.  I don’t know Dr. Morris but I do know Rogers Johnson for being a blogger on the Right side of the aisle, we have spoken a few times in the past.  Thus in watching the piece, I was absolutely flabbergasted that this self-described Conservative on something he said that sounded outright out of the Progressive Identity Politics bible:

You say sh*t show, I say sh*t hole

This week, President Trump was accused of referring to Haiti and some African countries as “shi*t holes”.  According to the Oxford dictionary, this is defined as “an extremely dirty, shabby, or otherwise unpleasant place.”

haiti

This definition includes nothing about race, although every mouth-breathing, window-licking Liberal wants to exploit the rumored comments and make it so.

If you did a little research on Haiti and some African countries, you would have to agree, on technical terms, with Trump.

Setting the way-back machine a few years ago, President Barack Hussein Obama said that Libya had become a “sh*t show” thanks to Great Britain and France’s ISIS policies.  Of course, he was trying to deflect blame away from his own failed policies – but let’s let that one go for now.
