At the heart of economics is a scientific mystery: How is it that the pricing system accomplishes the world’s work without anyone being in charge? Like language, no one invented it. None of us could have invented it, and its operation depends in no way on anyone’s comprehension or understanding of it. Somehow, it is … Read more
Is this just how risk averse America has become, a result of overeager lawyers and insurance companies, or…I dunno what. What say you, readers?? (H/T: Acidcow)
The BudComm’s Public Hearing for both the Town and the School District budgets was last Thursday and that’s when the BudComm is officially done with its duties within NH’s SB2 governance model. The next step will be the two Deliberative Sessions: the First Session is when the Legislative Body (the town’s voters) get to ask … Read more
Preparing for the Future of Schooling In this seminar, we will discuss the future of schools – what school board members need to know about the changes (technological, demographic, economic, and political) that they will be facing, and ways to view potential problems as opportunities. Join us to hear the visions of our two speakers, … Read more
Given that the northern part of NH borders on Canada, this oft is the same deal in the winter time. (H/T: Powerline)
It’s always great to make economic bets with other peoples’ money because then HOPE does become a strategy which is the BEST reason why Government shouldn’t play in the private sector (or try to redefine “private” to be “public”; reformatted, emphasis mine): Colonial Theatre, cable TV before City Council Monday LACONIA — Mayor Ed Engler … Read more
“Democrats now freely display the sort of anti-Catholic bigotry that JFK was thought to have vanquished in the 1960 presidential campaign.” And why is it? Easy. ANYTHING that presents a challenge to the power or primacy of The State must be downrated, stigmatized, made to be of no account “in our modern society, and defeated. … Read more
Of course they want Medicare for all – by eliminating ALL private insurance plans, you’ll never know how many of your Benjamins are going into that Democrat truck. So not only do they get your money but you WILL be totally dependent on the Federal government. Healthcare ISN’T their aim; it IS that you will … Read more
I made sure, on the first day of my class last semester, to tell my students that I was not politically correct. I also told them that, unlike a lot of professors nowadays from what I read, that I will never take class time to preach my politics to them – only occasionally using an … Read more
Yep. So one of two things is true: either the Democrats have no problem in blowing $500 million of your hard earned money on something that doesn’t work Or the Democrats DO believe that Walls work. So which is it? I think they’re two faced about funding and building OUR Wall. Very much so. Me? I think … Read more
So Jeanne Shaheen is telling us that anytime there is anything she doesn’t like, it’s an illegal “loophole” and she wants to ban it. Yep, she said exactly that in her latest eblast (yes, I am on it). I was rather astonished that she would be that open about it – I know that many … Read more
I didn’t die because of the illegal reclassification of the Internet by the Obama dominated FCC. They changed it from an information service (unregulated) to a telecommunications one (regulated back in 1936). Changing it back again was supposed to result in all of us DYING (emphasis mine, reformatted)! Net neutrality mania was so intense that … Read more
Or so he basically just said on WMUR News tonite. First, let me set the table: NH State Rep Laura Pantelakos (D): “I don’t care about protecting peoples’ Liberty“ NH State Rep Cynthia Chase (D): (concerning the Free State Project having chosen NH as their destination state, even as Chase did the same as a … Read more
“Am I the only one who realizes that landmines would be cheap, easy, and definitely not a wall?” I think that this was done tongue-in-cheek. Also, I remember a discussion back a few years that one sure way to keep those that should not be crossing our borders was to have Ma-dueces mounted on towers … Read more
The Earl of Metzler trying to scurry back to Massachusetts. Please, Randolph School District, take this incompetent fool and get him out of New Hampshire. The Randolph School Committee recently shared the scheduled district visits for the three finalists in its search for a new superintendent of schools: Earl Metzler, Thea Stovell and Bruce Pontbriand. … Read more
Not relevance, just relativism. I’m getting to be at the point where I’m at a loss for words. I do dryly note that while the “man of 2018” above competed in a beauty contest and lost, he did beat out 20 actual women in the final rankings. Imagine being one of those ladies, trying one’s hardest, … Read more
First road show event for GraniteGrok of the new year – and hoping all the new gear will help us to bring a lot of livestreaming of political yakking and coverage of what’s going on in the auditorium. We can’t guarantee sparks and fireworks like there’s been in years past but hey, who knows what … Read more
Commenter Nelle left some words for NH House Rep Jeanine Notter’s Op-Ed “Democrats removed a Constitutional Right from the NH House – what will they do to you?” Apparently, Nelle is in full agreement with what the Democrats have done – made a Right subject to the Collective and when Governments says when it is a … Read more
