Kamala Harris wants to use federal funds to augment teacher salaries
Posted By: NHChemist, 3/24/2019 12:29:37 PM
I´m a little puzzled. Is there any Democratic candidate for president who has an idea that doesn´t involve a massive increase in federal spending? Kamala Harris isn´t one of them. Harris has proposed using federal funds to augment teacher salaries, proposing "the largest federal investment in teacher salaries in the history of the United States." Washington Examiner: "We are a society that pretends to care about education, but not the education of other people´s children. And we´ve got to deal with that," Harris told the crowd of 2,400 people. "We are not paying our teachers their value... That ain´t right!"

Parents who send their children to private schools or who teach them at home could receive $4,100 “scholarships” under legislation that took center stage Tuesday in the session’s biggest battle over education reform. The freedom savings account legislation (HB 20) would be named in honor of the late House Speaker Dick Hinch, R-Merrimack, its original sponsor, who died last December after contracting COVID-19.(Snip) Rep. Glenn Cordelli, R-Tuftonboro, said that under the bill, “a parent can take their dollars with them if the child is not getting a good enough education.”
It really is all in our heads after all. Promising new gene research by a leading expert in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder has revealed changes in the brains of those afflicted with the illness. The ongoing study gives hope for better understanding of, and treatment for, a disorder that affects an estimated 8 million Americans a year, according to Dr. Matthew Friedman, who is a professor and vice chair for research in the Department of Psychiatry at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency said Thursday that it has paused publication of a final rule that would require banks to do business with companies such as oil drillers and gun manufacturers that they might otherwise choose to avoid because of perceived reputational risk. The OCC said in a statement that the delay of the rule, which drew opposition from bankers as well as Democrats.
The question isn’t whether the groundhog will cast a shadow and bring on six more weeks of winter. What I want to know is: Were kids way back in the day really walking 5 miles uphill through knee-deep snow to get to school, where they huddled by a small wood stove to thaw frozen fingers and toes? Pull up a chair and share some time-worn tales in “A Sense of Place: Winter Now and Then,” a virtual romp through the snowdrifts at 8 p.m. on Groundhog Day, Tuesday, Feb. 2, via Zoom.
U.S. Rep. Adriano Espaillat said Thursday he had tested positive for COVID-19, becoming the fourth member of Congress to announce they had contracted the coronavirus following a mob attack on the U.S. Capitol last week. "I am following guidance from my physician and quarantining at home after having tested positive for COVID-19," he wrote on Twitter. Espaillat is the latest lawmaker to test positive for the coronavirus in what has become a partisan issue, with Democrats blaming Republicans for not wearing masks while sheltering in secure areas on Jan. 6, as violent supporters of Republican President Donald Trump stormed the building.
Troy is locking down its town hall after anonymous threats came in this weekend from people angry that Police Chief David Ellis attended last week’s protest in Washington. “It’s cancel culture gone crazy,” Select Board Chair Richard Thackston said Monday. Thackston said threats were made to execute town officials after it became known Ellis was present at the protest, (Snip)
Ellis has said he is opposed to the violence.
CONCORD -- A chief architect of Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign predicted Monday that despite the misgivings of some of its members, Congress will uphold the Electoral College 2020 victory for President Elect Joe Biden later this week. “I don’t think you are going to see an overturning of the Electoral College. I don’t think that is going to happen,” said Corey Lewandowski of Windham. (SNIP) Trump will go on to play a major role as kingmaker for friendly Republicans in key midterm elections in 2022, he predicted. “You are going to see a lot of Donald Trump in the 2022 cycle,”
CONCORD — For the second year in a row, New Hampshire has been ranked the most economically free state in North America in an annual survey by a free-market enterprise think tank. Three times in the past four years, New Hampshire has topped all U.S. states, Canadian provinces and states in Mexico in the report by the fiscally conservative Fraser Institute. (Snip) “New Hampshire has led the nation in streamlining government regulation to allow job-creators the opportunity to grow and expand,” Sununu said in a statement.
A Pennsylvania judge has ruled in favor of the Trump campaign by concluding segregated ballots should not be counted. Further, the judge found that Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar lacked the "statutory authority" to change election law just days before Election Day.
"[The] Court concludes that Repsondent Kathy Boockvar, in her official capacity as Secretary of the Commonwealth, lacked statutory authority to issue the November 1, 2020, guidance to Respondents County Board of Elections insofar as that guidance purported to change the deadline in Section 1308(h) of the Pennsylvania Election Code...for certain electors to verify proof of identification,
Tomorrow, voters will choose a president, bestowing upon either Joe Biden or Donald Trump the power to wage war, set the country’s agenda and tweet out whatever he desires. (Snip) Down very close to the bottom of the ballot is the race for Hillsborough County register of probate. The job description is much simpler than that of president. Do nothing. The register of probate has no office. No secretary to handle the lack of any calls coming in. No county mailbox, email address or link on the county website.
After his “Trump Country” billboard was abruptly removed from a prominent location in downtown Nashua, Dave Streit has since contracted with another agency that now has his ad featured on five billboards throughout southern New Hampshire. “I was able to get a great deal on several electronic billboards that were up and running within four hours,” Streit said on Friday, four days after Outfront Media prematurely removed his large Trump Country sign from the top of 169 Main St. in downtown Nashua.

I RECENTLY READ a post by a friend written after the first presidential debate. While she opposed aspects of the Biden/Harris platform, she felt alienated by the arrogance and unkindness she felt was displayed by Donald Trump and she couldn’t vote for a candidate who didn’t represent her. (Snip) Despite the dire predictions before taking office, our president’s administration has taken action to protect our country and the liberties we enjoy. That includes not only the appointment of three U.S. Supreme Court justices, but 53 federal appellate judges and 146 district court judges, all committed to adhering to our Constitution and laws as written

As we reported two days ago, Joe Biden completely made no sense when he was trying to explain the Wuhan coronavirus relief bill.
It was really bad and it explains why they’re afraid to have him deliver an address to Congress or do any kind of a real solo press conference, because at this point they have to be afraid this is all going to fall apart if he does anything live and this all becomes too obvious to the American people.
But there’s only so long that they can hold this off. And it’s getting worse, as video today revealed. Biden was holding an event to announce the nomination
Democrat Senator Joe Manchin (WV) appears to have started to shift his views on the filibuster with remarks that he made on two news shows on Sunday morning.The shift from Manchin comes after he has repeatedly stated that he would not vote to end the filibuster, despite pressure from the far-Left. During the interviews on Sunday, Manchin repeatedly claimed that he was not open to ending the filibuster because he did not want to strip the minority party of their power in the Senate, but signaled that he was open to changing it.Fox News host Chris Wallace asked Manchin if he would consider “reforming the filibuster” if “Republicans

In an open letter released Sunday, Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden urged him to “honor his commitment” and include the Hyde Amendment in Democrats’ $1.9 trillion COVID-19 spending package, writing “we feel used and betrayed.” The letter states: We are very disappointed about the COVID-19 relief package’s exclusion of the Hyde Amendment, a longstanding bipartisan policy that prevents taxpayer funding for abortion. [snip] As pro-life leaders in the evangelical community, we publicly supported President Biden’s candidacy with the understanding that there would be engagement [with] us on the issue of abortion and particularly the Hyde Amendment
If you had any doubts that Meghan Markle is a manipulative piece of work, her bombshell Oprah interview Sunday night dumping on the British monarchy would set you straight.
Prince Harry’s American wife accused his family of hateful racism against her baby, claimed they refused to protect her and drove her to the point of suicide.She made the incendiary and implausible charge that when she was pregnant with Archie, the royal family decreed that her unborn son would be denied the title of “prince” because her mixed race meant he might have dark skin.
Joe and Jill Biden’s German Shepherds were shipped back to Delaware after a “biting incident” involving White House security, CNN reported.Major was adopted by Joe Biden and his handler wife Jill in 2018 from an animal shelter.Major and Champ moved into the White House in January and they’re already gone. The condition of the victim was not disclosed but it was serious enough to remove both dogs from the White House.CNN reported: The two German Shepherds belonging to President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden were returned to the Biden family home in Delaware last week
Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab.
The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote. Noncitizens are obligated to identify themselves and opt out,
President Biden on Monday seemed to forget Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s name at a White House event—calling the Pentagon chief “the guy who runs that outfit over there.” Biden was announcing the nomination of two female generals to lead US military combatant commands. “And I want to thank the sec—the, the, ah former general. I keep calling him general, but my, my—the guy who runs that outfit over there,” Biden said.(Snip) Earlier at the event, Biden mentioned the Defense Department leader by his name, “Secretary Austin,” while appearing to read from a teleprompter.
The Royal Family was left reeling this morning after Meghan Markle tearfully revealed that the stress of royal life made her suicidal when she was five months pregnant, claimed Archie was denied the title of prince because he is mixed-race and said Kate Middleton made her cry before she married Harry in a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.The couple also chose to reveal that they are having a baby girl to the tens of millions of people watching the CBS show broadcast in the US before accusing the Royal Family of racism and revealing the deep rift 'Megxit' has caused with Prince Charles and Prince William.
I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says.
After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.
Without question, the vast majority of Americans who support former President Donald Trump were angry and frustrated throughout 2020 passed with barely a mention of then-U.S. Attorney John Durham’s criminal investigation into the FBI’s fraudulent “Russiagate” counterterrorism operation directed at his 2016 campaign.In the weeks before the November election, word got out that then-Attorney General William Barr wasn’t going to announce any indictments or even a report on Durham’s investigation because he did not want to influence the outcome.So far, in fact, the only indictment to come out of the Durham probe is that of former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, who essentially got a slap on the wrist
Rep. Steve Cohen vowed to renew the push to remove former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover’s name from the bureau’s downtown Washington headquarters, according to an interview released Monday. Appearing on Yahoo! News’ Skullduggery podcast, the Tennessee Democrat said the effort is getting a fresh look after the release of a new movie highlighting the FBI’s secret program to discredit civil rights activists. The Washington Times in 2019 first reported Democrats’ bid to strip the longtime FBI director’s name from the bureau’s headquarters. Mr. Cohen said the impetus to revive the bid is the new movie, “Judas and the Black Messiah.” The movie details
“There must have been a moment, at the beginning, when we could have said –-no. But somehow we missed it.” Tom Stoppard
The millions of Americans who were paying attention throughout the 2020 election campaign all became painfully aware of the fact that Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities were slipping and slipping fast. His wife, as the person closest to him, should have been the one to call the campaign quits in order to reduce stress on the man.
Instead, apparently so anxious to become the First Lady by any means necessary, Mrs. Biden continued to push her failing husband’s campaign forward as if he were mentally qualified.
