“Scientists” create artificial womb to help premature “babies.”

The device consists of a clear plastic bag filled with synthetic amniotic fluid. A machine outside the bag is attached to the umbilical cord to function like a placenta, providing nutrition and oxygen to the blood and removing carbon dioxide.

“The whole idea is to support normal development; to re-create everything that the mother does in every way that we can to support normal fetal development and maturation,” Flake says.

So if they are babies and worth saving,

Yesterday, the House Education Committee passed a ridiculous full-day kindergarten bill that actually increased the amount Governor Sununu wanted to spend from $9 million per year to over $14 million per year. The amendment was brought forth by ‘Republican’ Terry Wolf and replaces Senate Bill 191 (SB 191) completely. The amendment is actually House Bill 155 (HB 155). The committee voted to pass this outrageously expensive addition to the state taxpayers’ budget by a vote of 15-4.

SHOT: California’s Chief Justice Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye letter to Dept of Homeland Security (emphasis mine):

As officers of the court, we judges uphold the constitutions of both the United States and California, and the executive branch does the same by ensuring that our laws are fairly and safely enforced. But enforcement policies that include stalking courthouses and arresting undocumented immigrants, the vast majority of whom pose no risk to public safety, are neither safe nor fair. They not only compromise our core value of fairness but they undermine the judiciary’s ability to provide equal access to justice. I respectfully request that you refrain from this sort of enforcement in California’s courthouses.

CHASER: DHS Secretary John Kelly(and USMC General) on “sanctuaries” and, ahem, courthouses (emphasis mine):

“The best place for us to pick up these illegal criminals is in jails and prisons. It is inconceivable to me that an elected official at any level would prefer these types of men and women to be released into the community…Sheriffs and police departments “want to cooperate with us and turn these people over that are in the jails.”

“If they don’t do that, we have to go into neighborhoods. We have to go into courthouses. We have to go where we can find them and apprehend them.”

These illegal aliens that are being picked up have

“I’m disappointed that both the original posting and response violated the principles of GraniteGrok.“

That was my first interaction with Zandra Rice-Hawkins – she almost Alinsky’d me during McCain’s run for Prez when she was fronting for the Socialist-all-in union called the SEIU.  I took a picture of one of her “I’m a healthcare voter” voters – frankly a lard-ass holding two plates of food lumbering across the backyard and Zandra didn’t like it that I put her picture up even as I had blurred out her face.  Zandra attempted to use Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals #4:

“Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)

I ended up calling HER out instead for lying and misleading people and since 2007 when that post was written, she has continued, as Trump might say, continued to be “Lyin Zandra”. IMHO, it fits.

And now Zandra Rice-Hawkins wants to stalk Alinsky Gov. Chris Sununu?

…I never saw “Social Construct” staring back at me from the other end of my microscope(s).  Frankly, Saturday’s “March for Science” was dumb, unscientific, and completely devoid of any Principles that were drilled into my head as to how REAL science operates.  That line of that shirt is a complete nullification of hundreds of hours spent as a lab rat getting high on formaldehyde and other obnoxious chemicals.  In fact, that line IGNORES science completely.

Nope, from my perspective, this is yet another example of how Socialists / Progressives have politicized yet another area of life. What now matters is the narrative instead of scientific Truth.  All those whiners were doing were despoiling the good name of Science and showed the rest of us that Science now, in large measure, getting down on your knees and begging Government to be even bigger and throw more money at them.

Leeches, Remoras – I see no difference between those two sucking parasites and those that marched in the streets.  Both of them have one and only one purpose in life: live off of others. They turned from the Scientific and to the Political.

Treat them as such.

A chart from SharylAttkisson.com seems to be pretty much on the mark:

“Please note that outlets on left and right sometimes publish material that’s on the opposite side of the political spectrum, or that has no political leaning at all. The placement is based on perceived overall tone and audience. Position on the chart doesn’t necessarily imply credibility or lack thereof. Sources on far right and far left have, in many instances, produced excellent, factually correct information at times.

But as always, “mo’ money, mo’ money, mo’ money” is needed when two simple letters strung together would suffice (but that would require self-control and self-responsibility; two former ideals that were considered to be virtuous in our pre-Progressive past).  From an article titled “Amid gonorrhea outbreak, health officials urge for thorough STD screenings”, the Concord Monitor decided that personal behavior wasn’t at fault here for skyrocketing (and “unexpected!”) rates of STDs.  Nope, a preventative “no” never enters into their equation – after all, “urges” must be consummated in our no boundaries / no regrets morality, right?  Nope, here’s the reason why this article caught my eye (picked apart here, reformatted and emphasis mine):

…The sexually transmitted disease had reached outbreak levels in New Hampshire, according to the department. Between 2007 and 2013, the disease had stayed level at about 130 cases per year. Then, in 2016, the department got 465 reported cases – a 250 percent increase. “The amount of increase has certainly been surprising to us,” said State Epidemiologist Dr. Benjamin Chan. Chan and his office are now conducting research to figure out why more people are contracting the disease, but there are other STD increases to worry about. From 2011 to 2015, cases of chlamydia in the Granite State went up by 22 percent and syphilis rose by 81 percent.

It’s not just New Hampshire; America’s STD rates are at an all-time high, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Doctors and public health officials attribute the increase to a few different factors, including lack of access to health care and screening and a decrease in condom use and people having multiple partners.

Well, gollllllly – multiple partners, eh?  Who’d a thunk it?  Yet,  the “reason” totally escapes them?  Yet, they won’t blame that as the Numero Uno problem with this epidemic,

The push to pass full-day kindergarten in New Hampshire might cure athlete’s foot. Toenail fungus? Why not? Advocates have come out suggesting it will help end the opioid crisis and solve the brain-drain problem–by keeping students from leaving the state after they graduate. Could it begin to heal the earth, stop the seas from rising? Is this the kindergarten “we’ve been waiting for“?

To honestly answer the question, what does full-day kindergarten do for New Hampshire, you have to forget about the children because most of them aren’t ready for half-day kindergarten. You have to ask, what do adults get? What do politicians, unions, educrats, get? And if they get it, what’s next?
