Heh! This one turned out to be a liar on the magnitude of Hillary:
And now we seeming have another one in the running to overtake the above horse’s ass in running for NH’s Second Congressional District?
Is Kelly Ayotte going to pull a Jennifer Horn over Eric Estevez?
After all, that’s what high office NH GOPe-ers do – run away from any political mud that may be trying to outrun the Law of Gravity. Jennifer Horn is infamous for doing so and throwing anyone under the bus needed in her attempts to remain spotless (all those IRS tax liens aside, et al). So with a big smile with the horse’s ass, what’s an Ayotte to do?
Um, Wait A Dang MINUTE here! Did Eric Estevez say something about Establishment Republicans???
“Birthrates always plummet under socialism.”

FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORMED: Joel Kotkin: The Meaning Of The Baby Bust (emphasis mine)
Once an exception to demographic decline, our country may be falling into the dismal pattern that is now common in other high-income countries, notably in East Asia and Europe. Europe’s demographic crisis is one reason European Union officials, particularly in Germany, opened the floodgates to mass migration from the Middle East and other unstable areas. In many parts of Europe, more people are dying than are being born.
Now America may be joining the downward fertility spiral. Since the recession, the number of new children has plummeted, and it’s dropped the most precipitously for new mothers. The number of households with their own children in 2014 was 33 million, down from 35 million in 2005, even as the total number of households has shot up by nearly 6 million. By comparison, there are about 43 million households with dogs, according to the ASPCA’s low-end estimate.
Shifts in child bearing will profoundly affect our geography, politics and economic future. Children, after all, define our future society, and provide the primary motivation for parents and grandparents. Without a strong familial structure,

“And if you don’t think it can happen here…”
At the end of my earlier posts tonite, I talked about the Muslim men attacking Western women and I bet that many, especially the Left (yeah, I’m thinking about you, Timothy Horrigan) can’t bring themselves to believe it can happen here (or have a ready apology as to why “society” is at fault. Well, it can happen here. From Gateway Pundit:
Somali Muslims TERRORIZE Upscale MN Town – Threaten to Rape Homeowner
A mob of up to 30 young Somali men paraded through one of Minneapolis’ more upscale neighborhoods last week, yelling disparaging comments and threats against homeowners. A female resident of the neighborhood, obviously shaken in a TV interview, related how she was screamed at by a Somali man who threatened to kidnap and rape her. “They were screaming at the house that they were going to kidnap you and they were going to rape you,” one Minneapolis resident told KSTP TV. “It was a very traumatizing experience.”
Manchester Police Chief: White House Seems to Feed the Narrative
The police chief of New Hampshire’s biggest city, Chief Nick Willard, had some words for the Media and the White House on the rise in anti-law enforcement rhetoric that is leading to violence. (NPR) “I often push back against the media and politicians portraying LE (law enforcement) as killers of young black men, as if we … Read more
“Jobs are a Cost of Doing Something, Not a Benefit.”
Hostess went belly up in late 2012 thanks to unmanageable costs. There were some serious infrastructure and logistics issues but the biggest weight around the company neck was union contracts. The Union bosses bled the company dry until it could no longer afford to operate. Hostess closed up shop, Twinkies disappeared from store shelves, and thousands became unemployed overnight.
Some folks who believed in the brand paid hundreds of millions to pick up the pieces.
So, If Unemployment is 2.7% Why Does NH Gov. Maggie Hassan Need $8.3 Million for This?
New Hampshire’s unemployment rate is at 2.7%. We may well be at or approaching a circumstance where there are more jobs than people who want to work. So what the hell is this?
In February, Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan announced a new $8.3 million initiative aimed at helping low-income people find good-paying jobs.
Estevez pulls a Weiner
After my earlier post about the sleazebag behavior of New Hampshire congressional candidate Eric Estevez, suddenly his campaign is claiming he was hacked!!!! ZOMG…. remind you of anyone?
Everything the Left Supports, Defends, or Does Should be Filtered Through this Context
Everything the left supports, defends, or does should be filtered through this context. Emphasis mine. “The chief appeal of war to social planners isn’t conquest or death but mobilization. Free societies are disorganized. People do their own thing, more or less, and that can be downright inconvenient if you’re trying to plan the … Read more
Alarmists and Media Reporting the Natural As Unnatural
Scary Headline: Melting in the Arctic reached an all-time high in June: Ice has been disappearing at a rate of 29,000 square miles a day.
Reality: The Arctic loses about 27,000 square miles a day on average every summer. Losing 29,000 is well within the normal variability. But most people won’t know that. (And Greenland is fine too, btw.)
It is another example of alarmists and uninformed media reporting a natural situation as unnatural. It is a lie of omission because they only presented facts that suited their story, but lying and deception are now standard and condoned practice for some people. Apparently for them the end justifies the means.

The American Murder Association
Turns out the American Medical Association is just another left-wing shill funding and supporting state sanctioned death at both ends of the spectrum of life. We talk about that, why you don’t want government regulating end of life “care,” and how the VA uses the idea of delaying or preventing to effectively euthanize Veterans today. … Read more

On FBI Director Comey’s decision on Hillary Clinton (emphasis mine): The actions by the FBI and the DOJ in this matter are legally and morally indefensible.

“… the character of the government under which we live…”
“The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small,but whether it works — whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified.” – President Obama, Inauguration (2009)
That title from Kevin Williamson on the criminal nature of the government we have elected (well, to be truthful, *I* certainly did not vote for this Administration). And here, we see that it isn’t that it just doesn’t work but outright criminal. After all, Obama declared 23 times that he did not have the authority to issue his Executive Order on illegal immigration – and then did it anyways (and the Judiciary shut him down). This on the Obama Administration payment of billions to the Obamacare Crony Capitalism insurance companies that had no legal basis to do so:
The report issued Thursday demonstrates that the Obama administration initially recognized it did not have any authority to make these cost-sharing payments to insurers. The NY Times reports:
The Republican report says the administration’s treatment of the tax credits as it began setting up a new payment system validates the Republican criticism of the cost-sharing subsidies. The report notes that while the authority for the tax credit was undisputed, the administration itself could identify no funds available for the cost-sharing element.
Income bias at the White House – Obama hypocrisy
“The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works — whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified.” – President Obama, Inauguration (2009)
Apparently, President Obama is all flappy gums when it comes to “income equality” (“equality”; that word always thrown about the Socialists all over) when it concerns others – not so much in his own workplace (still!) (emphasis mine):
Female staffers in the White House earn 89 cents for ever dollar that male staffers earn. That’s on par with one of the numbers often reported for the misleading “gender wage gap,” which finds women earning 77 or 78 or 89 cents to a man’s dollar.
