Quick Thought: So, WMUR, was it my elbows in your ribs or the vaccine deflowering your Panic-Porn every news show?

December 15, 2020December 14, 2020 Skip

I’ve been poking a not so veiled hint at the WMUR news readers that they need to provide a better context when they read off their unitary numbers of the snapshot of the WuFlu in NH. I know that it has either terrified a lot of people (re: “It’s the reincarnation of the Black Plague; … Read more

So, Busybodies Believe Your Property Really Is Theirs

December 14, 2020December 13, 2020 Skip

And a lot of times, it is the busybodies who believe a whole section of town is “their’s” because they CAN control that section of town. Which, unfortunately, can contain YOUR property. Which, unfortunately, the Laconia “Heritage Commission” busybodies do believe it is their right to tell you what you can’t do to your property. They … Read more

Do Masks Have an Effect? Yes. Is It the Magical Effect the Panic-Porn Purveyors Claim They Have? No

December 14, 2020December 13, 2020 Skip

From Ed Mosca’s post – “Sununu … Along With The Press, The Dems, And The RINOs … Politicize the Death of Dick Hinch” – commenter Bryan W had this to say in response to resident Bernie-Bro Bruce Currie about mask-wearing…emphasis mine:

Renny Cushing: Anti-Maskers Have No Right to Infect. Skip: Progressives Have No Right to Trash the Bill of Rights

December 13, 2020 Skip

And the Left wonders and complains that masks should never have been politicized – Democrat NH House Minority Leader Renny Cushing goes ahead and does so. WMUR had yet another political hit piece in furthering that politicization of mask / no mask debate. And if you watched it (and you would have had to watch … Read more

America at the crossroads

December 11, 2020 Skip

America is at a very dark and dangerous crossroads, and the path we choose will determine the very future of this nation. Over the past decades, we have seen one “victim class” after another become the tyrants who will tell us what to think, what to say, and how we must spend our money.

Facebook-Censored Social media, Shadow-banning

As We Got Closer to the Election (And Especially Post-Election), Look at the Throttling Facebook Put on Us

December 11, 2020 Skip

I’ve mentioned this from time to time as has our Social Media Maven, Steve. I just wanted to let you know(and show you) how bad Facebook hates Conservative sites – and us especially for whatever reason.

A Little Red State with a Big Blue Crown – Chapter 3

December 11, 2020December 10, 2020 Skip

New Hampshire’s First Congressional District (CD1) has been represented by Democrat’s the last four years after Chris Pappas took the reins from Carol Shea-Porter in 2018, but it has been a true swing district having flipped back and forth every term in the prior decade. Preceding Shea-Porter’s initial win in 2006, the seat was continuously held by Republicans for over 20 years.

Facebook Doodlings – For Those That Haven’t Figured This Out Yet – Downshifting of Spending Is Meaningless

December 9, 2020 Skip

I just can’t understand why the citizenry of NH (or anywhere else, for that matter) hasn’t figured out that when politicians start talking about “downshifting” of costs from a higher level of government to a lower one is nothing but HOGWASH!!!!

There’s another side to this unmentioned

At least here at Instapundit as it points to the NYT which has paywalled it (emphasis mine): GENTRY LIBERALS CONTINUE THEIR WAR ON ASIANS: To Make Orchestras More Diverse, End Blind Auditions: If ensembles are to reflect the communities they serve, the audition process should take into account race, gender and other factors.

So it looks like Antifa has an Organization After all??

December 8, 2020 Skip

I ran across this article back at the end of September and it laid fallow in my Draft queue since. At the time, Antifa/Black Lives Matter riots were growing in intensity and quantity in what seemed to be in advance of the Nov 3rd election. Many on the Right opined that this was a Democrat … Read more

I thought school nurses needed parental authorization to administer anything to our children? Like an aspirin, or even a doctor authorized medication. What about COVID testing?

WMUR’s Amy Coveno? Meet Irish Democracy.

December 8, 2020 Skip

WMUR’s WuFlu Panic-Porn is reaching a fevered pitch (heh! see what I did there?). Last Night, about a minute in, WMUR’s Amy Coveno and NH’s State Epidemiologist both lamented just how disappointed they are in all of us.

Inside the ‘Liberty Wave’ That Swept the Granite State

December 7, 2020 Skip

WITHOUT QUESTION, this election season has given everyone plenty to get emotional about. Between a monsoon of questions surrounding the nation’s highest elections, another two years of a bitterly divided Congress, and a country every bit as tense as it’s ever been, it seems as though the present drama and confusion could not constitute a more fitting grand finale for the long dark that has been 2020.
