“The media parrots Democratic Party talking points without embarrassment, which helped elect Obama president. But as those talking points corroded the credibility of the press, the parroting helped elect President Trump.”

SHOT: Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell on Republicans repealing Obamacare: She added that some rural or community hospitals will “have to shrink or even shut down if they can’t count on funding through Medicaid,” which was expanded under the law.

Historic GOP Victory in Kentucky Leads to Flurry of Conservative Legislation
After taking the state house of representative for the first time in 95 years, Kentucky Republicans have passed a series of conservative reforms poised to rollback decades of Democratic economic meddling, as well as protect the unborn.
So what did they do that is such a good example for NH to following? Abbreviated:
New Hampshire State Senator Jeff Woodburn has proposed legislation to create a bipartisan committee whose job would be to examine a response to reports of Russia’s interference in US elections. “Do you send hardearned dollars to someone who’s trying to undermine your democracy?” he said. “Your dollars should follow your ideals. No mention of President … Read more
Is turnabout fair play? I don’t know, but I know a laugh riot when I see one.
US Uncut believes Ryan Clayton and the John Doe defendants (yet to be identified) are behind a scheme that unfolded on August 3, 2016 to hijack control of US Uncut’s Facebook page. The hijacking has resulted in US Uncut losing its administrator rights to its Facebook page, meaning US Uncut can no longer control the content of its Facebook page. Making matters worse, a new (and anonymous) administrator for the US Uncut Facebook page is posting content to the page in order to direct US Uncut’s audience to a copycat website called “usuncut.news.”

Fake Climate News promised us lots of things, including permanent drought in California, and they were wrong again.
Back on January, 9th, 2013, I remarked on a report by WMUR News 9 about an online poll. Why? Because, when the comments got nasty, the largest television media outlet in the state at the time chose, of all people, New Hampshire Democrat House Rep Cynthia Chase for her thoughts.
Chase became known nationally just days earlier for saying this about Free Staters.
“What we can do is to make the environment here so unwelcoming that some will choose not to come, and some may actually leave. One way is to pass measures that will restrict freedoms that they think they will find here.”
So what happened when WMUR came knocking?
The six police officers tried in the death of Freddie Gray have just won a major decision in court.
A federal judge, Marvin J Garbis, has allowed a “malicious prosecution and defamation” lawsuit against Baltimore Prosecutor Marilyn Mosby to proceed.
It has long been suggested that Mosby with plenty of encouragement from the Mayor and even some at the Federal level tried to create a case where one didn’t exist. The judge had some very specific things to say about why the case could move forward, not because of her actions as a prosecutor (the State was cleared) but as an investigator, and conduct for which she is solely responsible.
“Free compliance advisors are available for on-sight consultation aimed at helping small businesses comply with regulations.”
At what point “a lot of Government” too much government? Another example of government regulation run amok being buisness harmful.
Manhattan culinary staple China Fun shutters, blaming government over-regulation
We keep pointing these examples under the principle that at some point, Government’s micro-management is attacking the heart of America’s economy – that of small buisnesses. We’ve seen 10s of thousands of new Federal regulations strangling growth overall (to the point of an overall average of about 1.7% GDP growth over Obama’s term) issued by bureaucrats that have never signed the front of a paycheck nor have concern over what this avalanche costs those businesses. There is no feedback cycle that makes it personal with an adverse outcome for themselves when it tanks a business. And States and local government, often times not also understanding the Law of Unintended Consequences in beeing seen as “doing something”.
The story (reformatted, emphasis mine):
For 25 years, China Fun was renowned for its peerless soup dumplings and piquant General Tso’s chicken. What left a bad taste in the mouths of its owners and loyal patrons was the restaurant’s sudden Jan. 3 closing, blamed by management on suffocating government demands. “The climate for small businesses like ours in New York have become such that it’s difficult to justify taking risks and running — nevermind starting — a legitimate mom-and-pop business,” read a letter posted by the owners in the restaurant’s front door.
And I think this next line doesn’t just include businesses but ANYTHING that has pockets as it seems those that “govern” have turned their backs on government but re-engineering society:
In this all new 15 min session, Mike Rogers joins me as we discuss Trump’s Cabinet, the glorious Twitter end around, why it is better to Repeal and Don’t Replace, the risk of a ‘Staff’ infection in Trump’s White House, and we wonder what will become of the Tsars?

New Hampshire Senate Bill 12 (2017) is an Act, repealing the licensing requirement for carrying a concealed pistol or revolver. The new law would make the current pistol revolver license in New Hampshire optional. So, anyone legally able to own a firearm in the state would be legally able to put a coat or jacket on without having to get permission from a local police chief first. (Open carry without a license is already legal in New Hampshire.)
The bill has the support of all 14 Republicans in the State Senate, with 13 of them being sponsors and Governor Sununu has said he would sign such a bill. A hearing is already scheduled so expect this bill to move quickly to the governor’s desk to become law.

I covered some of this story earlier but here goes in case you haven’t read about him.

What a phony son of a b****!
I just watched Obama on live TV telling our troops how honored he is to serve with them when all he has ever done is, at best, ignore and demean, them and at worst decimate our military and implemented sequestration. He rightfully praises General Dunford, but there’s no mention of all of the talented generals that Obama has forced into retirement because they disagreed with his dangerous plans and policies. I believe he slipped up, but tellingly so when he said he would miss Marine 1 – the helicopters that flew him around, and Air Force 1. He’s praising himself saying how there’s been no terrorist attacks on our homeland in 8 years. What rock has he been hiding under?
2009 – a terrorist opened fire on a recruiting station in Little Rock, AR killing an active duty military man and wounding one
2009 – Terrorist Nidal Hasan killed 13 at Fort Hood, Texas
2012 – He must have forgotten about that little terrorist attack on the US consulate in Benghazi and the four who died there. Oh wait, that was caused by somebody who produced an anti-muslim video.
It is appropriate to post this Op-Ed as the NH House of Representatives starts its business.

While cleaning my garage of junk recently so I could get my car in out of the season’s first snow, my mind was wandering and I started to think about the term “moderate Republican” and what it might mean.
My first thought was that it might be a Republican who was temperamentally willing to reach across the aisle, as they say, to others with diametrically opposed political beliefs to reach a compromise on important issues to get some legislation passed. Anything, as long as it passed with some bipartisan support.
Then, I thought of the term that a legislator must “go along to get along.” I have always heard that is one of the first things new legislators must learn.
So, I took a deep breath and with the renewed oxygen in my brain I started really thinking about this issue. What does it really mean?
That’s been a big complaint stemming from the time that the Reps held all three branches – they still acted like they were in the minority. Too scared to stand up and man up to the Principles they gave campaign lip service to – and they wondered why they were kicked to the curb in 2008? No one trusted them. It has taken them 8 long years to regain some of it back. Notice I said “some” – I think much of why they now hold Congress and the Oval Office (well, the later in two weeks) is not the Rs themselves but an unwillingness to let Hildebeast carry on a third Obama term. But I digress.
So the VERY first thing that they wanted to do was to get rid of the Office of Congressional Ethics? Yeah, that’s really being “laser focused” on the real problems at hand as this newest Congress gets started. Sorry, it just showed me that they Haven’t. Learned. A. Dang. Thing. Business as usual and watching their own backsides. The reasons why they got put there in the first place?
Second place. Or third. Or “anything but”. And then you know what happened that made me think – instead of the Rs keeping Trump in line, it may well be that the best thing that has ever happened to the DC Republicans is Trump:
