Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, a Democrat and a FABULOUSLY wealthy businessman is part of the family that owns the Hyatt Hotels. He Effectively “bought” the Governorship from what I have read. His problem, like many Governors at this time: they think they’ve been elected Kings and Queens.

DISQUS Doodlings – Part 3: the TreeHugger Eco-Socialist may not have a firm grasp on Price
Part 1 was about eco-Socialists not really understanding choice, Supply and Demand, and the importance of Price in describing value to either a Seller or a Consumer and how it is EXTREMELY important in managing markets.
DISQUS Doodlings – Part 2: the TreeHugger Eco-Socialist may not have a firm grasp on Price
Well, Part 1 was about eco-Socialists not really understanding choice, Supply and Demand, and the importance of Price in describing value to either a Seller or a Consumer and how it is EXTREMELY important in managing markets between 10, 100s, 1000s or Billions of people by acting as a “Black Box” indicator (e.g., you don’t … Read more
Really, Union Leader, the House GOP “revolts”???
I would say that Republicans stuck to their guns (in some cases, literally) and said in effect “Decisions have consequences.” Steve Shurtleff, the Democrat Speaker of the NH House, YOU shut the House down and we don’t have to go along with rewriting YOUR rules to make it work.”
DISQUS Doodlings – the TreeHugger Eco-Socialist may not have a firm grasp on Price
I do like going out to find some debates – I think that all Conservatives should bring our philosophies and ideas into the Arena of Ideas to make the case in places we’d normally not be wanted. Like, as always, TreeHugger. I’m sorta like the Bruce Currie over there with the exception that I never … Read more
Scammers – Can’t Get Much More Blatant Than This
There are other viruses out there besides the Wu Flu. And no small number of them are computer based. Given that I get between 300 to 800 emails a day (more the closer we get to some kind of election when all of the PACs start blasting stuff out), there is always a number of emails that I know to be scammers and n’er-do-wells.
This Meme About California Reminds me of Nashua and Jan Schmidt
First, it speaks to the idiocy of the Progressive Government. Petty and vindictive, with the promotion of things and actions we used to assign stigma to informally protect traditional society from “infections” that twist it into the Left’s own image. In this, I thought of Steve’s post on Jan Schmidt and Nashua.
Notable Quote – John Tierney
Higgs sees government, as usual, vastly expanding during the crisis, and he’s sure that it will not shrink back to its former scale once the crisis is over. It never does, as he famously documented in his 1987 book, Crisis and Leviathan: Critical Episodes in the Growth of American Government, and in later works exploring this … Read more
Less than half of Americans know the true meaning behind Memorial Day
Sad, really sad. Saw this at Instapundit: I DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY TEACH IN PUBLIC SCHOOL. I KNOW IT’S NOT ANYTHING WORTH KNOWING: Most Americans have no clue why we celebrate Memorial Day. Going to the link (reformatted, emphasis mine): Less than half of Americans know the true meaning behind Memorial Day, according to a new … Read more
It all depends on your mindset, I guess
It really does come down to that – what is your background and what your “hammer” looks like:
Data Point – CDC estimate of COVID-19 / Coronavirus Fatality Rate
But that’s not even the most important part of their latest estimates. It’s the CDC’s new “best estimate” for the case fatality rate amongst symptomatic patients.But, before I got to that, I should note that back in March, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated a 3.4 percent fatality rate and Dr. Anthony Fauci estimated that the fatality rate of … Read more
Notable Quote – Dr. Don Boudreaux
Freedom of exchange and production within a regime of private property rights and freedom of contract harnesses self-interest to the public good. Admiration and endorsement of free markets is not – contrary to much uninformed commentary – admiration and endorsement of greed or materialism. It is, instead, the reflection of an acceptance of the reality … Read more
Palate Cleanser – because who hasn’t strapped a grenade to a propane tank before, right?
Yes, a bit nuts, these two. Sauntering about with chips in a bag… Wonder what the C-level staff at AmeriGas thought about how their products is being used. Hey, does doing this contribute to Global Warming hysteria??? (H/T: Caveman Circus)
Does this mean that Zandra Rice-Hawkins is gonna call me a misogynist again (and again and again)? – Part 2
Yes, the Executive Director of out-of-state-financed Granite State Progress and Concord City Councilor (what a scary thought from a Liberty standpoint of those two positions co-joined at the ankles) Zandra Rice-Hawkins has oft not been enthralled with GraniteGrok. This won’t help as it is strictly politically incorrect – I can see the steam coming out … Read more
Tales from the BudComm – Take down of “my bright idea but paid for by taxpayers”
This should be the last post in this series as my last official meeting was back in January at the Public Hearing for the School District Budget. Officially, I “retired” and did not run for re-election for a fourth term back in March.
Data Point – The “Live Free or Die” State isn’t all that Free w/respect to Coronavirus Restrictions
WELCOME to the 35th State in the Nation! Americans experienced unprecedented restrictions on their everyday life in order to fight the coronavirus, but now most states have partially reopened. In order to determine the states with the fewest coronavirus restrictions, WalletHub compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia across 11 key metrics. Those … Read more
Data Point – About Wearing Those Masks…
Since Steve has just kicked off the latest GraniteGrok Poll, this time on masks, I thought this was rather interesting especially with all of the COVID Karens, #Maskholes, and Snitchers-in-Chief candidates running around the NH political landscape trying to change our “Live Free or Die” to “Herd Me till I Die.”
Does this mean that Zandra Rice-Hawkins is gonna call me a misogynist again (and again and again)?
Does this mean that Zandra Rice-Hawkins is gonna call me a misogynist again? And again, and again. Big Whoop if she does.
NH State Rep. Sallie Fellows joins Berni-Bro Socialist Volinsky as just another COVID Karen
Jim has his post on L’il Andru Volinsky who has made it clear that he’s one of those contra Live Free or Die folks who is very happy with the Socialist version of “Government over People”. And he makes it clear that under his reign, you VILL vear der mask.
So Tim Sink ain’t happy with NH protesters that want to reopen the State
I wonder how many of his small biz members either already have or will soon be kaput if re-opening takes two or MORE months to accomplish? Or are they just “collateral damage”? Yet, while many of us are correctly upset that our Constitutional Rights and its values are being rent asunder, a constant theme of … Read more
