Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws. —Plato
Senator Sharon Carson (R) Dist. 14, Chair, Senate Judiciary (Londonderry), sent me a message yesterday afternoon that the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 4-1 on HB 135 to recommend, “Inexpedient to Legislate…” legislative speak meaning the committee recommends the subject bill be killed and not pass on in the process.
Rick reported the news yesterday of the likely demise of HB 135 (2013)– Deputy Dawg Stephen Shurtleff’s repeal of stand your ground for me but not for he. Most of us had an inkling of this last week, and I’m not about to go on about that or the bill’s demise because Rick has more to add (or just … Read more
Viva la revolution, eh? This from a Cuban-American about the Regressive psychopath: Too bad there was no photo from when he murdered my great uncle and his 12 year old son in front of his wife and daughters in the front yard of their home in Cuba. His crime? Refusing to turn over the keys … Read more
The Union leader has just updated an earlier story about an 18 year old in Cocnord, New Hampshire who had been arrested and charged with criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon after a student reported that they had pulled a gun on them in the High School.
The evening incident resulted in an evacuation of the facility. The report suggests that about 50 people had to leave the school, students involved in activities and adult education participants were all evacuated so a police tac team could search the building. The student was found, off school grounds, where he was detained, arrested, and charged.
Tac team. Evacuation. Student charged with criminal threatening.
Wait. Turns out the girl who reported it lied.
Who in the New Hampshire Democrat party reached out to Erica Lafferty–the daughter of slain Sandy Hook Elementary School principal Dawn Hochsprung–to encourage her to leave her own state, which has all kinds of background checks for gun purchases that did no good at all, to come to New Hampshire and lean on our State Senator?
Talk about out of state influence.
With all due respect and deepest condolences to Ms. Lafferty for her loss, you are being played. All you did was reduce your very real tragedy to a tragic comedy by coming to my state to intimidate my Senator for not voting to pass a bill that would not have done one damn thing to prevent what happened to your mother. Or didn’t the Democrats, or the magazine editors, or the folks on the Today show, or whomever they’ve had you with or in front of tell you that yet?
This just in from a liberty & freedom activist who attended the Tilton meeting set up for regressives to attack Kelly Ayotte last night: I just attended the Ayotte Town Hall Meeting in Tilton this evening with some fellow patriots to counter the constitution-burning, left-wing “progressives” who showed up to…

“Two billboards in which images of Native Americans are used to make a gun rights argument are causing a stir with some residents who say the image is offensive and insensitive.” (You can read the whole thing HERE.) It’s called the First and Second Amendments, all you politically correct chumps. This is still America, not … Read more

This from Judicial Watch: “For decades the U.S. government has knowingly given illegal immigrants food stamps, according to a former certification case worker who denounced the costly practice back in the 1980s but was essentially ordered to keep a lid on it.” Meanwhile, “the nation’s food stamp program has exploded under President Obama.” Read the … Read more
It’s about freaking time SOMEBODY forced other Republicans, you know, to have to rely on Principles! Once again, the political symptom is gun control and the filibuster but the Republican disease is Heh!:
Texas senator Ted Cruz on Friday indicated that the battle among GOP Senators over gun control was so fierce that, at several points throughout the debate, some of his Republican colleagues yelled at him “at the top of their lungs.”
“I don’t know that there is an issue that has generated more heat internally in the Republican conference,” Cruz said at a Texas tea party rally. “We’ve had probably five or six lunches with a bunch of Republican senators standing up and looking at Rand [Paul] and Mike [Lee] and me and yelling at us at the top of their lungs, I mean, really upset. And they said ‘Look, why did you do this? As a result of what you did, when I go home, my constituents are yelling at me that I have to stand on principle.’ I’m really not making that up.
(H/T: The Corner) Take away from that snippet – I betcha more of these Republican morons are more concerned with keeping their R-butts seats rather than defending the R-values they campaigned on. Got that? It comes down to saying one thing but doing another – and a lot of Rs don’t like hearing that and they don’t like the bony finger pointed at them or their friends. Too bad – and with the rest New Media, we get the word out.
Oh you bet that I’ll hear about posting this – “there he goes again, bashing other Republicans” (just like when I “visited” the Merrimack County Republicans a coupla weeks ago and Mark Sanborn (according to someone sitting across from him who came up to me afterwards) yelled out “HE HELPS TO ELECT DEMOCRATS!”). In response to that assflappery, I say this:
I swear you can’t make this stuff up: Via Ace “I think the Science (TM) on this is pretty sound. The resolution, from Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) and a dozen other Democrats, says the results of climate change include drought and reduced agricultural output. It says these changes can be particularly harmful for women.”[F]ood insecure women … Read more
Or, as the post said: “What Happened When One Man Pinged the Whole Internet A home science experiment that probed billions of Internet devices reveals that thousands of industrial and business systems offer remote access to anyone” And he found some disturbing stuff about security, too.

I’ve known about this for quite some time – teens developing brains are naturally off-cycle time-wise from the rest of us. I remember, back when, when it was quite easy to sleep late – like all morning long on a weekend or holiday if nothing was scheduled. So when the President and Dean of Liberty Harbor, Dr. Julianne Cooper, was on GrokTALK! two weeks ago to talk about education in general, she mentioned that Liberty Harbor starts at 9am because of this specific reason:
The Science of Sleepy Teenagers
“Making teens start school in the morning is ‘cruel,’ brain doctor claims.” So declared a British newspaper headline in 2007 after a talk I gave at an academic conference. One disbelieving reader responded: “This man sounds brain-dead.”
That was a typical reaction to work I was reporting at the time on teenage sleep patterns and their effect on performance at school. Six years on, there is growing acceptance that the structure of the academic day needs to take account of adolescent sleep patterns. The latest school to adopt a later start time is the UCL Academy in London; others are considering following suit.
So what are the facts about teenage slumber, and how should society adjust to these needs?
Heh! I love it when the Democrat definition of “Consistency” is spotlighted: You might be a Democrat if you believe… Fighting against government-subsidized contraceptives constitutes a “war on women,” but when Islamists stone a woman to death because she was raped, it is just “cultural differences.” Fighting against government-subsidized contraceptives constitutes a “war on women,” … Read more
“The Tsarnaev brothers were state-supported terrorists. The state was Massachusetts.” Howie Carr was talking about this on his radio show today – what the Herald (the paper where he is a columnist) had gotten from the State of MA for welfare payments via FOIA demands – 500 pages with welfare payments over $100,000. Yeah, the … Read more
The Government accountability office (GAO) has begun looking into why the Obama administration is arming agencies with enough ammo to sustain the average war for 27 years? Good question. We’ve been wondering that ourselves. Why would a guy who claimed that the country needed a civilian national security force be arming the department of education, and…as you’ll hear in the video on the jump, fisheries agents who apparently need 46,000 rounds of hollow points to…do some redneck fishin’ ?
Hollow points?
More ammunition than the military needs for almost three decades of heavy fighting in Iraq? Hmmm. Federal agencies need 80 years worth of “practice” ammo? If it were a Republican president creating a civilian national security force would Democrats be dirtying their Maggie Hassan supplied adult diapers so quickly that they couldn’t change them fast enough? You bet. But this is Obama. Any suggestion that he might actually be arming a civilian security force–see also: a personal army–well that would be crazy talk.
But the GAO wants to know. And we can’t wait for the leaks to begin about how the Obama Admin is trying to pressure them to back off.
Great video on the jump–from of all places, USNews online.
In closing arguments the defense for Kermit Gosnell has resorted to claiming that the only reason Gosnell is on trial at all is because he is black. And I guess we are then meant to assume that if Kermit just happened to be a white guy who had killed women and slaughtered live babies, then we’d still be talking about Dancing with the Stars or how no one really gives a damn what happens on American Idol anymore?
“Never have I seen the presumption of innocence so trampled on, stomped on,” said McMahon in court today, adding that the Philadelphia district attorney’s office “tried to manipulate everybody” and was pursuing an “elitist, racist prosecution.”
“Dr. Gosnell is not the only one doing abortions in Philadelphia,” McMahon said, “but he was an African American singled out for prosecution.”
“We know why he was targeted,” he said. “If you can’t see that reality, you’re living in some sort of la-la land.”
Acually, isn’t he kind of a light-skinned black man, sort of the same way that George Zimmerman was a light skinned Hispanic?
Complainers change their complaints, but they never reduce the amount of time spent in complaining. —Mason Cooley
The Londonderry Fish & Game Club, Inc. was established in 1951 and has been in its present location in Londonderry since 1973. Aside from LFGC’s primary mission, the club has sought to be good community stewards in the capacity that it can. For example, the club has been opened up to Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Church and other civic groups, including Kiwanis of Manchester where they conduct their annual “Fish with a Child” day on Jim Cates pond at the club. LFGC has always opened its doors and its facilities to those organizations that don’t have principles counter to LFGC’s mission or bylaws.
Word has it that a backroom deal has been ‘crafted’ to harpoon the nano-brewery bill. I say ‘backroom’ and ‘crafted’ because a recent executive committee session for HB253 did not attract a single lobbyist. The New Hampshire beer cartel didn’t send any hired guns to pimp their interests. No one from the liquor commission bothered to show … Read more
