Today the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that Hobby Lobby couldn’t be forced by the federal government (under Obamacare) to provide contraception that may cause an abortion.  The case first came up back in 2012 when Hobby Lobby discovered they’d be forced to provide contraception to their employees that goes against their religious beliefs.  They currently provide all other types of contraception but disagreed, due to their beliefs, in providing the abortive types.

The lies and hysteria of the left over Hobby Lobby have been previously debunked but that hasn’t stopped them from spewing them all over again. Governor Hassan, Senator Shaheen and Representative Carol Shea-Porter all repeated more lies.  They continually insult women and treat them as if they are pea-brained flying monkeys who will simply believe anything they say and repeat it.  Their statements are below:

Governor Maggie Hassan today issued the following statement after the United States Supreme Court’s ruling in the Hobby Lobby case:

Access to family planning services is critical for the health and economic security of women and families, as contraception costs are one of the biggest health care expenses for women and their families. While today’s Supreme Court decision is disappointing, I’m optimistic that employers will continue providing coverage for family planning services because it’s the right thing to do for workers, it will help businesses attract high-quality employees, and it will strengthen the economic security of working families.

Clearly Hassan did not read the case nor follow up on the

Joe Bastardi at Watts up With That

We are faced with a potential nightmare.. a tropical cyclone coming at the outer banks on the July 4 weekend. I already have this as an 80 knot storm by July 4th, right on top of the North Carolina coast. That represents the mid ground of a fear this can be stronger. The post Sunday on Weatherbell.com on this outlined why.

Again this warm seawater is a product of the natural cyclical function of the AMO in its mature stage.

Real Clear Politics has an interview with New Hampshire Gubernatorial Candidate Andrew Hemingway.

With his ardent small-government views and outsider bona fides, Hemingway brings a distinctive perspective to the governor’s race here. And as a candidate born during the Reagan administration, he is offering a glimpse at how a new generation of political contenders may soon be campaigning with a different mindset than the one that often prevented their predecessors from saying much of anything interesting. (…)

He is running against fellow businessman and political novice Walt Havenstein, 65, in a two-candidate Republican primary. Christie — the chairman of the Republican Governors Association — recently traveled to the state to endorse Havenstein, who was recruited into the race by influential New Hampshire Republicans.

 And here’s why…

The Contraceptive mandate was not in the bill congress passed that we now call ObamaCare.  HHS just made them up.

Obama later had Sibelius create exemptions (without congress) for non-profits on religious grounds that waived any responsibility for the non-profit to pay, and at the same time created rules that would require the insurers to cover those devices of medications without charging those costs to the nonprofit.  The Administration made it happen with a phone and a pen.

Obama still has a phone, and a pen.

A Letter from a CNHT Member up North:

Dear editor,

Please print this article in your newspaper ASAP.

“All NH residents to pay for I – 93 widening, or so it seems!”

In northern NH, a region plagued with gas prices 15 to 20 cents per gallon consistently higher than southern NH, adding another deliberate tax is unthinkable. But in the infinite wisdom of NH politicians, a deliberate tax increase was imposed. Have you felt the “pain at the pump” yet, Northern NH ?!

North Country Democrat representatives as well as a majority of southern NH Democrat representatives decided that all NH residents should pay for the widening of I – 93 (Exits 1 – 5) from Salem through Derry. Or so it seems!

It looks like poor, penniless, pitiful Hillary will have something besides Rose Law Firm billing records in her trunk from now on – some hard to sell memoirs will be bouncing around in there if her car ever moves again.  (Remember, Hillary was thinking out loud to a reporter not long ago and mentioned she had not driven a car in some 16 years.) Penniless with a chauffeur, not a bad gig as long as you can hold onto it.

And Hillary intends to hold on as long as possible, even with poll numbers below 50% against RINO opponents. Why not? The Democrats have groomed and protected this lay-about for decades. It’s her turn.

But the hard left Democrats that see they can elect and re-elect a true Harvard Marxist as President do not want damaged goods such as a feeble, incompetent candidate – with a track record to prove it. They want the real thing.

Ah yes, Sandra Fluke – the gal that just keeps on giving…

Sidenote: and giving, and giving,  and giving, and giving, and giving, and giving, and giving, and giving, and giving, and giving, and giving, and giving, and giving, and giving, and giving, and giving, and giving, and giving, and giving, and giving, and giving, and giving, and giving, and giving, and giving, and giving, and giving, and giving, and giving, and giving, and giving, and giving….oh, you get the picture.  Not her, fer sure – but her Progressive attitude that screams “YOU OWE ME!!!”

…to us here at the ‘Grok – and we have yet to pay for her contraceptives (wonder if she’s ditched that stupendous free rider hubby of her’s that refused to provide for her himself).  Romney may have been wrong about the 47%, but when Sandra Fluke whines that she expects the Government to force others to provide for her most intimate moments, he had it G-spot on.  But the best summary has been given by Dr. Paul Rahe, on how radically Progressivism is changing the culture and the language:

The deepest source of our present discontents is the sexual revolution. Our abandonment of chastity as a norm has had dire political consequences.  Her right to be promiscuous trumps our right to the fruits of our own labor.

Given the US Supreme Court decisions of Saturday and the anticipated ruling tomorrow on Hobby Lobby / Conestoga vs HHS Contraceptive mandate that may well determine if there is Religious Liberty (enumerated in the First Amendment) or has it been replaced by Entitlement of Sexual Need, Sandra decided that she needed to weigh in once again.

Any day now, #SupremeCourt decides whether corporations can deny women access to contraception. http://t.co/xZ247dqtMf

Do you remember when the Bloomberg bus came to Concord, with some help from GraniteState Progress and the state Democrat Party?  They read the names of so-called victims of gun violence.  That list was dirty with the names of criminals and terrorists killed by law enforcement.  There were even the names of attackers shot by intended victims in self-defense who acted to save their own lives–a life saved that was meaningless to the progressives happily honoring their attackers.  No one who signed on to support the fraud or read the names asked or cared, they just wanted to attack the Bill of Rights, so the more names the better.

They are at it again.  Democrats in the US House have sent a letter to the Speaker, quoting a fraudulent statistic, and guess whose signature appears at the top of the list?
