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).

EATING at a bar may still be a bit problematic…
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)
Too bad, Gov Sununu, you missed having your own by THIS MUCH….
I wrote about S. Dakota Governor Kristi Noem a bit ago and today I got to read this: South Dakota Governor Refused To Implement Stay-At-Home Orders. Her Citizens Throw Her A Parade. 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
Quick Thought – can’t we just assume that ALL long term care facilities are outbreak centers
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
Got high hopes that Sununu is going to open NH’s economy tomorrow?
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
Quick Thought – No water for Merrimack?
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
Quick Thought: caution to the rubes: it’s “assimilation”
Normally I’d title this under Notable Quote but hopefully a Quick Thought will do it: When you progressives say “public-private partnership,” we liberals hear “public-private conspiracy.” -Deidre McCloskey ( Why Liberalism Works: How True Liberal Values Produce a Freer, More Equal, Prosperous World for All) And she means “Classic Western Liberalism” when she says “liberals”. … Read more
“Study: Historic Drop in U.S. Reading and Math Scores Since Common Core ‘Debacle’”
That’s the headline over at Breitbart. Like anyone is really surprised that a system of learning and content that was never really beta tested would have turned out as awful as we all saw it to be? It was Edu-babble supreme and only succeeded in one thing – separating parents from being able to help … Read more
Data Point – the old, the infirm, and COVID-19. Yeah, Freedom, too.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to ANYONE here in NH that has been following the numbers: More than half of the COVID-19 deaths in Europe have occurred in long-term care or nursing home facilities. It is “an unimaginable human tragedy,” Dr. Hans Kluge declared. Europe is not alone. At least one in five deaths recorded … Read more
So what have we learned about COVID-19 and its “management”
Yeah, that graphic says it all. Obviously, critical thinking is being used less and less, too. This post got triggered by one at Instapundit that spoke to things at the national level:
Is a Rebellion Forming Against Governor Sununu From within His Own Party?
I saw the poll that Ed had commented on before (“Massive Majority in New Hampshire Support Authoritarian Government and Willing to Believe Anything Government/Press Tell Them“) and had basically thrown up my hands in horror.
With 2.3 Million Guns Sold in March, NH’s Assault Rep Katherine Rogers Must be Seeking Help
I wasn’t quite sure how to handle this post. Call it a Notable Quote. So a modified fisking. Or, just put it up wholesale. It’s by Larry Keane over at The Truth About Guns and doesn’t really lend itself to the first two. Too long for a Quote and frankly, I wouldn’t be able to add much of value in doing a fisking.
But do you have masks for sale, BJ’s?
I’ve been a “member” for a number of years and I get a lot of emails from them to buy this or that, something else, and this other thing as well. And get their sponsored credit card from time to time. This time, however, was different – partly commonsense and partly a demand:
ReOpenNH Concord Rally – MicroInterview with Marc Abear
Marc used to represent my district (Gilford / Meredith) in the NH House. Like all the others that I interviewed last Saturday, he had come to show his displeasure with how His Excellency (Gov Sununu) was handling this Kung Flu epidemic. Marc, I have come to know, is a well measured, careful, and insightful person … Read more
ReOpenNH Concord Rally – MicroInterview with Elliot Axelman
Elliot is the proprietor and blogger over at Liberty Block (where he did his own reporting of the Rally) He also ran for the NH House in a special election a wee bit ago (sadly, he was not the winner). He, too, like most of the attendees, argues his points against His Excellency (Gov Sununu) … Read more
ReOpenNH Concord Rally – MicroInterview with Tom Ploszaj
Tom has been appearing in the comment section of GraniteGrok for a while now and we’ve met in person a few times here and there. He’s now taking the step, after seeing what the Democrats have done and the ignoring of passed laws with respect to what our Constitution allows, to run for the NH … Read more
Govt: curing the disease but ignoring the cost of the cure?
I’m getting to the point that the next time a medical person says that we can’t open our economies until a cure is found because WE DIDN’T ELECT YOU MEDICAL TECHNOCRATS to govern; speak your opinion – that’s your right, but I REFUSE to be governed by your opinion and your opinion only. This is now a multi-dimensional problem and you’re only yammering about one aspect of it.
ReOpenNH Concord Rally – MicroInterview with Dan Hynes
Another person that was roaming around the State House lawn before the ReOpenNH rally started was lawyer Dan Hynes. Like all the others, he had his reason for being there contra Governor Sununu’s stay-at-home orders; in order to exercise his First Amendment Right to Free Speech.
ReOpenNH Concord Rally – MicroIntervew with Pam Ean
Even though I have known her for years, I didn’t recognize Pam at ALL at last week’s ReOpenNH Rally at the State House in Concord – I guess the Govt’s demand (and for more, more about commonsense on my part) to be masked up is creating an “anonymous” society as no one knows who you … Read more
Palate Cleanser – “Quarantine!” by Home Free
Heh! I used to watch this group on a show called “The Sing Off” – an acapella singing competition that ran for a few years a few years ago now. They were pretty good then but this semi-cover and adaption of “Honesty” just hits the spot: (H/T: DCE over at Weekend Pundit)
