It was yet another post by NH State Rep Tim Lang with an update as to what His Excellency (official title for Gov. Sununu), having had various representatives of the merchant class supplicants come on bended knee to plead their cases as to why Government should allow them to conduct themselves in the public square.

Is WMUR’s Jessica Moran trying to be wingman to NH Snitcher-in-Chief, Mindi Messmer?
I previously wrote about Mindi Messmer who having failed in her run for US Congress is now trying catch a seat on the NH Executive Council. And in doing so, she has no problem in telling people to be Coronavirus Correct and reporting back to HER when people aren’t gloved and masked:
Quick Thought: about that CD-2 Poll that Steve put up
It’s still open until midnight tonite but I am REALLY surprised at the results thus far. As in, ask yourself: “Who the heck is Eli Clemmer???” You can find out more about him in the two links I put in on his name above. Still, until the second to last NH GOP Convention / Annual … Read more
CA Gov. Newsom pulls a Washington Monument Syndrome moment
The “Washington Monument strategy” is named after a tactic used by the National Park Service to threaten closure of the popular Washington Monument when lawmakers proposed serious cuts in spending on parks. Roll Call calls it “an old legislative ploy where an agency threatens to close popular services first.” (H/T: Political Dictionary). And Gov. Gavin Newsom … Read more
Wouldn’t this be construed as Discrimination if the roles were reversed?
SHOT: US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at Smith College: Good afternoon, graduates. Thank you for the immense honor of addressing you – the Smith College Class of 2020 – on this very special occasion. I am pleased to convey the congratulations of the Congress of the United States – and to bring special greetings on … Read more
Data Point – COVID-19 Adult Testing and Rolling Positive Average
Notice the two weeks of increased testing: the curve has been broken. Past performance is no harbinger of the future but it looks like that the first goalpost has been met. Nice to see that the increased testing has not gone hand in hand with a large number of positive testing. It is increasingly clear … Read more
Notable Quote – For Bruce Currie who hates the idea that the US doesn’t have an “Industrial Policy”
He’s made it clear – we individuals need the handy helping hand to direct our every move and decision. This from Prof. Don Boudreaux (emphasis mine):
Speaking of Potential Vote-by-Mail Fraud: It’s The CA District 25 Edition
OK, their election was last week, so I’m a tad late. But, given that I have this OTHER vote-by-mail post on the “abstract” of the issue, here’s an example “in concrete”. And no, no whining that just because it happened in CA doesn’t mean it can’t happen here (reformatted, emphasis mine):
Palate Cleanser: jumping out of a perfectly good airplane at 25K feet – parachute IS optional
Or actually, parachute just isn’t there. At all. Would YOU decide to jump out where’s there not enough oxygen to sustain you and attempt to fly yourself into a net with no backup chute in case you change your mind or seeing that “stuff” just went sideways?
Notable Quote – Ludwig von Mises
Those that accept this premise totally ignore that some of those “wretched underlings” rise to be able to manipulate the Government’s levers of Powers. Thus, this narrative von Mises has made sport of, is totally untrue and broken.
Data Point – COVID-19 Mortality cost vs Economy cost
The cumulative costs through May 16, 2020 were $9,826 per household ($1.2 trillion in aggregate). 16 percent of these are mortality costs (valued at $4.3 million VSL; over the past seven days, the percentage was 16). The rest are the market and nonmarket costs of shutting down the economy, for the categories documented by Mulligan (2020). The costs above do not necessarily … Read more
So why are NH Democrats losing their minds to get vote-by-mail into place? Part 1
Emphasis mine: Heed Jimmy Carter on the Danger of Mail-In Voting: ‘Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud.’ “Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud.” That quote isn’t from President Trump, who criticized mail-in voting this week after Wisconsin Democrats tried and failed to change an election at the … Read more
Palate Cleanser: Almost ANYthing is considered to be a Coronavirus death nowadays
Alternative Title: Men, be mindful of what you say even when telling the truth:
November is coming – and so will the Presidential Debates
A very serious time – the leadership of the Free World is at stake with serious…….oh, who am I kidding! Heh! Yes, they should be HIGHLY amusing! (H/T: Powerline)
Quick Thought: Dr. Seth Emont – such a courageous display of non-conviction
The end of his Op-Ed in the Union Leader caught more of my attention than the dribble he had IN the Op-Ed (emphasis mine): Dr. Seth Emont lives in Walpole, manages the Tobacco Cessation Program at Cheshire Medical Center and leads the Cheshire Coalition for Tobacco Free Communities. The beginning was “Time to protect children … Read more
What Government is ALLOWING you to do…
…versus what it is DEMANDING you do. Or, at least those “behind” government. “Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything.” ― Joseph Stalin Stalin? Democrats? They ARE all about who counts the votes. Ask yourself, WHY is it that it is just Democrats that are absolutely WAILING for all voting … Read more
“People do not go to church just to feel good; they go in order to be good.”
Good quote on Government (specifically New Zealand but similar to NH and other States) not seeing the value of Worship and treating it like secular activities (emphasis mine):
The obligatory Hitler finds out that COVID-19 won’t stop Trump from being re-elected
Yes, the ubiquitous Hitler in the Bunker – there are lots of them on all kinds of issues. This one, however, takes a smack at lots of things and people. Best line attributed by Hitler on Nancy Pelosi: “She can’t even keep her dentures in”: Heh!
Quick Thought: The Educational-Industrial Complex always has this as a ready answer. ENOUGH ALREADY!
And it plays out over and over and over again. I’ve blogged a number of times: I overheard two teachers (who were also union reps) at a Town Meeting a few years mutter between themselves:
