We can never again say that Jeanne Shaheen didn’t try to cut Federal Spending. Her Senate office slipped a last-minute addition into the 1,000+ page “keep the government open or the world will end (again)” budget bill that would cut 50 million in spending. Fifty million. It was a hiccup, to be sure.
Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Can Deny Your Child a Career in the Military or Law Enforcement
Anytime a student is seen by a school social worker, school psychologist, or clinical mental health counselor, and services are billed to Medicare or Medicaid by the school, a medical diagnosis code is applied. The medical diagnosis code is referred to as a CPT code, which is a procedure code. This refers to the services being performed. An example would be counseling or therapy.
We Have a Last Chance to Stop State-Sanctioned Suicide in the House
Act Now: ask your reps to vote YES on the reconsideration motion and vote NO on the Ought to Pass (OTP) motion for HB 1283.
The Latest Congressional Minibus Contains $2.5 Million For Dartmouth-Hitchcock and Late-Term Abortions In New Hampshire
No matter how despicable you believe Jeannie Shaheenie and Mags Hassan are … it’s not anywhere near as despicable as these two actually are. The latest minibus (as opposed to omnibus) contains a special earmark for late-term abortions in New Hampshire.
Looking for ‘Safe’ Blood in the mRNA Injection Era …
The scope of damage caused by mRNA and lipid-nanoparticle technology might take years to unravel, but the data to date is not good. Many, including those who rolled a sleeve or two during The Scare are looking side-eyed at the blood supply, and yes, some have risen to meet that need.
SEL is Draining Tax Dollars from the Merrimack School Budget
Social and Emotional Learning is the latest fad in public education. SEL is considered Tier 1 in a three-tiered mental health framework for students attending public schools. Money for this initiative came through a federal grant several years ago, but as those funds dried up guess who is left to fund these initiatives? The local taxpayers.
Ronna To MSNBC … You Should NOT Be Surprised
MSNBC (NBC), CNN, ABC, CBS, etc. want you to hear from Republicans … FAUX-Republicans whose role is to attack real Republicans. Stated somewhat differently, a real Republican would never get a gig on the Regime-media because the Regime-media is advocacy not journalism and their role is to advocate for the Regime and against the opposition.
CALL TO ACTION: Support Reading Literacy in New Hampshire
Representative Lorie Ball is currently proposing legislation that targets improving reading education for all students in New Hampshire. I urge you to watch her presentation before the House Education Committee on March 5th, 2024. She explains the problems with reading instruction in our public schools, and then how some changes could positively impact reading proficiency for students.
Morse Impresses on the Stump
Chuck Morse, candidate for Governor and past NH Senate President, was the guest speaker several nights ago at the regular meeting of the Tri-County Republicans.
Gurley-Man Loses In Court
Comrade Volinsky got some bad news this week. A judge has ruled that his clients, Mary Lee Sargent and Arnold Alpert, do not have standing to sue the state for removing a historical marker honoring Communist Elizabeth Gurley Flynn. I have to wonder if he knew that and just took their money.
Flushing Your Money Down the Toilet on Professional Development for Teachers
As an education researcher, I’ve been hearing about wasteful spending on teacher professional development for decades. Teachers do value quality professional development, but some will privately tell you that it can be a waste of their time, and taxpayer dollars.
New Hampshire Right to Life Urges State Senate & Governor to Oppose Assisted Suicide, HB1283
The New Hampshire House passed HB1283, also known as Assisted Suicide or Medical Aid in Dying, by a 179-176 vote this afternoon[0]. New Hampshire Right to Life (NHRTL) and a broad coalition of other organizations[1], staunchly oppose this legislation and call on the NH Senate and Governor to reject it.
Night Cap: Illegal Immigration … The Magic Carpet
In 2020, during what passed as the Democrat primary, Joe Biden pledged that he would open the border. If … IF … you really cared about protecting America from an illegal immigrant invasion, you would have gotten 100 percent behind Trump. Did Ayotte? Did Sununu? Did Mikey Graham? NO, NO and NO. Just the opposite.
An Ad I’d Like to See
Over the past few weeks, I’ve had occasion to watch Robert F. Kennedy Jr. give testimony before Congress. Most recently, he was trying to explain why a hearing on censorship should not itself be subject to censorship.
Freedom Of Speech And Thought Is On The Block
The recent unfortunate event in New York City, which honored the promoted FDNY members, poses many questions about rights and decisions. As does the outburst by the Gold Star father who shouted down Joe Biden as he delivered the State of the Union address.
Must Watch: Climate the Movie – The Cold Truth
Thanks to everyone who sent me links to this, and it was several of you. To what? Climate The Movie -The Cold Truth. I had not set time aside to watch it but several readers were quite excited and adamant that I watch it sooner rather than later. I did.
Republican Enemies of Transparency
I’m going to call a spade a spade. There will be no sugarcoating and no special treatment for any reps that I once liked and respected, so let’s get started. Consider me the National Transportation Safety Board examining the wreckage.
American Democracy Died SIXTY (60) Years Ago
The level of DENIAL on the Right in America is breathtaking and pathetic. It is undeniable that the 2020 election was RIGGED. Yet the bitter-clingers on the Right believe that somehow 2024 will be different … even as they watch the FakeNews (I’m writing this on March 20th) run with yet another BIG LIE, the “bloodbath” hoax.
The Process is the Punishment
So, what happens if the Trump verdict in New York is overturned or if the fine is reduced to a more reasonable value? (Which — given that normal procedures were followed, and no one was harmed — would be around $10 at most.)
Maybe Hodor Works at the CDC
The latest outrage from the CDC is a redacted 148-page report on myocarditis. There’s nothing there. Every page is blank. The research is nothing but textless pages. They don’t even show the word myocarditis. There’s nothing to see here; move along, please.
