Seems the Democrat Governors’ Association (DGA), of which NH Governor Hassan is vice chair, has sued the state of Connecticut this past April alleging that its campaign finance restrictions violate free speech. Could this be why NH’s own SB 120 , the “Incumbent Protection Act”, enrolled on June 4, 2014, has either not literally been signed by Governor Hassan, or was allowed to come into effect 5 days after being presented to her?

DGA challenges Connecticut’s campaign finance restrictions

According to an article in Connecticut Mirror dated April 23, 2014, ‘”DGA has been forced into a constitutionally untenable choice: it can avoid the protected speech in which it seeks to engage; it can forego the support and participation of Connecticut’s citizens in raising the funds that it needs to maintain a robust national program; or it can entertain the very real threats of investigation, fines and criminal prosecution,” the lawsuit states.’

We told the NH legislature to wait before passing SB319 ( a bill to establish a 25 foot no free speech buffer zone around every abortion/women’s health care facility in the state), but they didn’t listen.  Now, a Supreme Court decision on a case in Massachusetts has made SB319 a violation of first amendment rights.  Funny.  Isn’t that what we said it was?

By unanimous decision the US Supreme Court has ruled that an abortion buffer zone in Massachusetts is unconstitutional and violates first amendment rights.

The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down a 35-foot protest-free zone outside abortion clinics in Massachusetts.

The justices were unanimous in ruling that extending a buffer zone 35 feet from clinic entrances violates the First Amendment rights of protesters.

Most Americans know that illegal immigration hurts Americans and want our immigration laws enforced.  However, illegal immigration benefits the Washington political class, so President Obama, like several Presidents before him, doesn’t seriously enforce our immigration laws.

President Obama exacerbated our illegal immigration problem by announcing that he won’t enforce our laws against “young people”.  Now young people from around the world believe that President Obama welcomes them to come here illegally.

Previously most illegal aliens were adults who avoided border agents.  But President Obama’s announcements have enticed many tens of thousands of children to accept the dangers (e.g., illness, death, rape, enslavement) of traveling hundreds of miles to come here illegally.

House Democrats are apologizing to the IRS for having to be subjected to congressional oversight.  (Does the Democrat House orientation day actually cover the role of congress?  Just asking.)

This outpouring of liberal empathy for this domestic terror group–operating with the full force of law they claimed for themselves–comes as a result of other members of the US House grasping the important oversight role assigned to congress.  They are asking questions.  They are trying to determine who gave the IRS permission to target, intimidate (Bully!) private groups and citizens.  They are investigating actions taken and not taken, to insure equality, transparency, and efficient government for all Americans–things President Obama promised the people that the IRS is having a hard time delivering.

So are Democrats apologizing for Mr. Obama lying?

Obama declare ‘Broader ISIS Foothold’ against U.S. Interests, ISIS Gains Broader Foothold

Determined Weakness: I am now convinced that each and every foreign policy decision that Obama makes has one and only one purpose – to make the US less influential on the world stage.  Name one thing that President “Red Line – Aw, who cares” that has actually, concretely, either stabilized or enhanced our standing in the world.  When even the Polish leader says that the US is irrelevant, has the goal been reached?  On what global stage, in what hotspot, concerning what issue, does Obama actually have a decision stick?  How has he been able to move the needle to heighten the prestige, honor, power, or influence of the US?

Me neither. So here you have a rag tag bunch of religious fanatics that are looking to establish yet another instance of that which the Left is always accusing folks like me (an Evangelical Christian): a real Theocracy.  Already setting up Shariah courts in the areas they now control and as they establish their Caliphate, you can be sure there will be more.  And harsher than that already in Iran.  They simply could care less what he thinks or says, knowing that lately, he’s been a nothingburger on taking action.

The VA is the template of government run medicine.  Vets have been mistreated, untreated, sat on waiting lists, and have died.  The government bureaucrats have hidden the incompetence and malfeasance and continue to receive rewards.  This is how big government at a distance works.

Change ‘VA’ with ‘ObamaCare’ if you want to see your families future.

“The problems at the VA are worse than anyone imagined,” Coburn said.

“Over the past decade, more than 1,000 veterans may have died as a result of VA malfeasance,” the senator added. “Poor management is costing the department billions of dollars more and compromising veterans’ access to medical care.”

One of the greatest sins of climatism will be the body count.  Winters are getting colder.  The long range predictions by people not on the taxpayer funded Climate

chaos payroll suggests decades of colder winters.  Team Climate Chaos is working hard to stamp out cheap, abundant energy, which will make longer and colder winters more difficult to weather.

Humans can easily survive a few degrees of warming.  Cold, however, shuts affected areas down, shortens growing seasons, damages crops, stresses infrastructure and public safety and maintenance resources, makes it twice as hard to get fuel to the people who need it, and claims more life as a result.

Making energy cost more, or insisting on a government managed green energy agenda that is ill-suited to real-world need, exacerbate this problem. Granny isn’t going off any cliff, she’ more likely to freeze to death.

Democrats, to be honest, just don’t give a sh*t.   They are in it for the politics.

If you add all the Obama budgets and the deficit you get some huge number with ‘Trillions’ after it.   Democrats took the taxpayers on a spending binge that doubled the deficit, burdened them with a massive new entitlement, encouraged middling to declining growth, the worst labor participation rate in decades, record Welfare, food stamp, and dependency, so what do they do?  They let millions of illegal immigrants in, complete with no skills, no grasp of our language, and any number of illnesses–not to mention real criminals.

So this news can’t possibly be that bad.

The Commerce Department revised its estimates of first-quarter gross domestic product Wednesday to show that the economy contracted at a 2.9 percent annual rate. A combination of shrinking business inventories, terrible winter weather and a surprise contraction in health care spending drove the first-quarter decline, which is the worst since the first quarter of 2009, when the economy shrank at a 5.4 percent rate.
