Alternative title 1: Community above the Individual
Alternative title 2: the government has made us all our brothers’ keepers.
That is a political philosophy called Communitarianism. The short definition is a feeling of community but on steroids with the control clamps being brought out of the secret drawers.
Wow, just wow. Just like here in NH, Idaho has skewed rates of infection: urban vs rural. So, there are folks wanting those more rural areas to be freed up as they aren’t under the gun like Boise. However Dr. Robert Burnett feels that for this advocacy, they should be denied medical assistance. Not only … Read more
Will the pandemic bring back bartering? The short and to the point answer is: it never went away. Our economic systems started with it and it has continued to this day: two people eyeing what the other person has, figuring out the relative values of each thing, and then trying to do a swap of “equal” value.
Trump On Ordering States To Reopen For Business: The Authority Of The President Of The United States Is “Total” REPORTER: In regard to some of your tweets earlier today, what provision in the Constitution gives the president the power to open or close state economies? TRUMP: "Numerous — numerous provisions. We can give you a … Read more
The Declaration is not just chronologically prior to the Constitution, it is logically prior. As Timothy Sandefur writes, the Declaration “sets the framework for reading” the Constitution, so it is the Constitution’s “conscience”: By the terms with which the Declaration articulates the Constitution’s purpose – the purpose is to “secure” unalienable rights – the Declaration intimates … Read more
Almost as soon as they started to bubble up I’ve been trying to keep all the links portraying how roughshod various Governors have gotten and overstepping their bounds with ignoring Constitutional Values and precepts and, perhaps, what their reactions have been. Trust me, there are a TON of them so it’s going to take a … Read more
On Nevada about to open up: emphasis mine: These shutdowns were always meant to be temporary, emergency measures, like a donut spare tire you can only use until you get to the shop. It was to give us time to expand our hospital capacity, which we’ve done, and to spread out the infections so we … Read more
Over at Fosters, the question being asked is: Mandatory or Freedom of choice – what vote you? So you all know what to do – you’ve never failed me before. Go do whatcha gotta do!

Dr. Benjamin Chan: 24,349 tested 1200 / people / day 164 positives – 2,310 270 hospitalization at SOME TIME during their illness 81 deaths (up … Read more
Americans are optimistic by nature, and the public is right to hope for the best. But policy makers must prepare for the worst. And that means we must consider options for reopening the economy in a world in which we have not completely controlled the Covid-19 pandemic. Time is of the essence. Every week matters. A … Read more
I was chatting with a friend in Ohio and she mentioned they are having UFO sightings around Wright-Patterson AFB. I told her we have the same problem here in New Hampshire. Seems to occur in cycles, mainly at election time in even numbered years. We have even coined a name for it:
I hate shopping. I hate shopping especially in grocery stores. My intent is to get in and get out ASAP. At the local Market Basket, they’ve thrown my game plan all out of whack, even during “Senior hours” at the crack of down.
Take it from me, it’s like Pringles – you can’t eat just one (handful). And as the Left is trying to do, there’s no shame in this (how can there be if there’s no shame in killing an unborn baby, shooting up with hard drugs, not paying your obligations (like AOC’s new “don’t pay your rent” scheme, and all the rest).
American ingenuity – see Gov. Sununu? Not a problem! Remember – this is coming from a teetotaling son of an Irish drunk so bars are a “foreign” space for me. For others, it’s their “safe space”; so why are they being taken away? (H/T: Powerline)

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, who has decided to buck the trends around the country and refuse to implement stay-at-home orders in her … Read more
TMEW, who generally doesn’t get political at all, had one of her few outbreaks herself on the news that there has been “two new outbreaks at Hackett Hill Center and Mountain Ridge Center” (Manchester and Franklin). She exclaimed WHY does it seem they are rolling out these announcement every couple of days; they’re ALL infected … Read more
I’m betting he doesn’t have the political cojones to undo what he has done and let us adults actually be adults and assess the risks of Life for ourselves. Doing yesterday’s press conference, WMUR clipped this out: Whatever we do we’re going to make sure that we can handle it, and that the system can … Read more
Watching WMUR Daybreak and they reported that the Town of Merrimack is “waterless” due to water main break near the Turkey Hill pumping station. Hmmm, usually when there is NO water, regular schools are dismissed and students are sent home. But EVERY student is now being homeschooled, right? And they are ALSO out of water. How … Read more
