Democrat Elected House Speaker Jasper ‘With His People’
Is the Litchfield School District Trying To Pull A Fast One?
The school district clerk in Litchfield can’t certify the ballot for upcoming town elections. He tells me that the default budget number does not appear to be correct and no one in the School district would talk him through his concerns to a straight answer. If the ballot is not correct he wont sign off on it. He wont swear to its accuracy.
The delay has exhausted so much time that now the AG has come after the clerk for the ballot. If the town does not submit the ballot it can’t be printed and mailed for absentee voters. The AG probably doesn’t care if it has the right numbers – just put it on the ballot and sign it, please, or something bad might happen. The School district attorneys have–quick like a bunny–put a name for their version of “the bad.” Dereliction of duty. Sign or resign.

UCLA Professor of Economics, Lee Ohanian, has some fascinating and unexpected answers with regards to ” what do you mean by rich? And how much is fair?” And yes, the answer will make progressives mad. Prager U
Notable quote – Joseph Sobran
“People who create things nowadays can expect to be prosecuted by highly moralistic people who are incapable of creating anything. There is no way to measure the chilling effect on innovation that results from the threats of taxation, regulation and prosecution against anything that succeeds. We’ll never know how many ideas our government has aborted … Read more
Somewhere In Your ObamaCare Future?
Isn’t that ironic? (Daily Mail.com) The NHS has started to ration hearing aids for the deaf – with thousands of people being offered only one device when experts say they need two.

Hello, Cultural Marxism:
[Quote] Hello, Cultural Marxism: In 1919, Georg Lukacs became Deputy Commissar for Culture in the short-lived Bolshevik Bela Kun regime in Hungary. He immediately set plans in motion to de-Christianize Hungary.

NOTE to Senator Pierce: The 2nd Amendment actually IS a RIGHT in New Hampshire
Senator Pierce made a complete fool out of himself during the vote on SB 116, aka ‘Constitutional Carry’, by claiming that it wasn’t a ‘Women’s Rights’ issue. He insulted New Hampshire women and appears to be the ‘king’ of deciding what issues are women’s rights issues.
Senator David Pierce to NH women: I’ll decide which issues are ‘Women’s Rights’
Yesterday Bill Wynne of Goffstown Today posted video of the New Hampshire Senate vote on SB 116. The video is almost 50 minutes with Susan Olsen from the Women’s Defense League of New Hampshire reporting at the beginning and end. As previously reported, the bill, aka “Constitutional Carry” was passed along party lines by a vote of 14-9. There was a lot of misinformation spread from New Hampshire Senate Democrat David Pierce which has already been debunked.
“Winning is only the precusor; what you do afterwards is more important”; which is more important, Jeb Bush?
I’ve been busy all day (you know, that “balance” thing) so blogging has been light. Pretty much most Sundays, I do watch the talking head shows. On today’s This Week, “Republican strategist” Anna Navarro who never seems to lose an opportunity to “sniff” at conservatives did exactly that. Donna Brazille talked about the conservatives she knew that they want a true conservative to run and win; she said “I dunno if that is Jeb Bush”. True to form, Navarro said exactly what I would have expected an Establishment Republican to say:
“We have been in White House exile for 8 years. The hunger on the Republican side is to win and whomeever convinces they can then, we’ll support.”
Spoken like a true political operative
The example of ignoring the Law
Liberals have shown a repeated tendency to simply not enforce laws they don’t like. In 2011, Obama’s Justice Department decided that it would effectively repeal the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act without the consent of Congress.
A year later, Politico was reporting that the Obama decision to not enforce the laws it didn’t like had expanded. The story began this way:
On issue after issue — gay rights, drug enforcement, Internet gambling, school achievement standards — the administration has chosen to achieve its goals by a method best described as passive-aggressive. Rather than pushing new laws through a divided Congress to enact his agenda, Obama is relying on federal agencies to ignore, or at least not defend, laws that some of his important supporters — like Hispanic voters and the gay community — don’t like. ‘If the president says we’re not going to enforce the law, there’s really nothing anyone can do about it,’ University of Pennsylvania constitutional law professor Kermit Roosevelt said. ‘It’s clearly a political calculation.’
Dangerous ground for our Republic – Leadership roles are watched and then emulated; when the President, when top Federal appointed officials, refuses to “faithfully execute the laws”, what to do? Certainly our “feckless” opposition (e.g., the GOP) seem to have no answer (mostly because they are too scared to hammer down and use their Constitutional powers (impeachment and/or power of the purse) because they are more willing to risk the Republic than to risk their seats. “But we’ll LOSE”, they whine. Well, what’s the difference when you fail to “win” with your asses in those seats? But that behavior is emulated and trickled down; Conservative Review continues:
Obamacare’s Medicaid Expansion – Thanks Jeb Bradley, Chuck Morse, Jeannie Forrester
And if it is up to them, we’re gonna keep this taxpayer sucking, dependency creating program that breaks EVERY plank in the Republican Party that is even remotely related to it. From the Union Leader:
Including the state’s share of the cost of Medicaid expansion for the final six months of the next biennium, when the state has to begin paying 2 percent of the cost, while also removing the program’s sunset is a mixed bag on the spending side of the ledger.
The House leadership, including House Finance Committee Chairman Neal Kurk, R-Weare, are unwavering in their opposition to continuing the program, but the NH Health Protection Act was sponsored by Morse and Senate Majority Leader Jeb Bradley, R-Wolfeboro, and they want it to continue.
For sponsoring Obamacare’s Medicaid Expansion, I have to ask this question:
How do you tell the Republicans from the Democrats?

Maybe Global Warming Isn’t Melting the Butter
“The problem is we don’t know what the climate is doing. We thought we knew 20 years ago.

Portsmouth Needs a New Site to Dump Snow (And I Have a Suggestion)
“Portsmouth needs a new site to dump snow” is the title of an article over at SeacoastOnline. The city has run out of room at Peirce Island and they need a new dumping ground as more storms bear down. If I may offer a suggestion, how about Senator Jeanne Shaheen’s yard? When you run out … Read more
