BlogQuestion of the Day: Why is it OK for one but not the other?

November 22, 2020 Skip

Trump Hasn’t Conceded Georgia. Neither Did Stacey Abrams. What Changed? In fact, she’s made an industry about how her election to be GA Governor was stolen from her by now Republican Gov. Kemp. And hardly anyone on the Left has told her to get over herself and stop being a victim. Ditto Hillary. Abrams has … Read more

So, the elections are winding down – the NH quadfecta will keep us safe for a while, the mandatory mask has loopholes for gazillion virus particles to go through at once, Liberals are losing their minds that Conservatives are leaving THEIR social media platforms, Pelosi looks bad in the US House, the US Senate is … Read more

November 21, 2020 Skip

Another evergreen advisory for folks who are escaping the hellhole States like NY, CA, IL, and the like. They can’t stand it there anymore but then come to states like New Hampshire and offer or support the candidates, legislation, and policies that made them leave to come here.

Mandatory Masks Emergency Order, Loophole, and……Fundraising!

November 21, 2020November 21, 2020 Skip

So, we’ve all been talking about Gov. Sununu’s Mandatory Mask Emergency Order and Grokster Ian’s finding of the builtin loophole that now changes the definition of “mandatory” to “toothless”:

Sununu has now mandated eternal wearing of face diapers. Question – WHO is going to enforce it? Y’all willing to make a call to your local Police / Sheriff?

November 19, 2020 Skip

Just because I think Ian said it well – loopholes: 6. A person who declines to wear a mask or cloth face covering because of a medical or developmental issue, or difficulty breathing, shall not be required to produce documentation, or other evidence, verifying the condition. All of which is to day, the mandate only … Read more

Data Point – WMUR is New Hampshire WuFlu Panic-Port (How About Some Context?)

November 19, 2020 Skip

I’ve just about had it with the nightly news programs, especially WMUR. Each one is almost a mirror image of the other. What’s the latest from yesterday’s numbers from the Communist China Flu? Each one is pretty much the same: “LOOK HOW MANY MORE CASES!!”

Breaking News – Dems DO nominate Pelosi for yet another term

November 18, 2020 Skip

As the US House election results were coming in, the knives within the Democrat House Caucus were coming out – for her. Expected to steal more seats from the Republicans and head closer to a supermajority, under Nancy Pelosi’s tutelage, they lost seats – perhaps as many as 13 when all is said and done. … Read more

Data Point – US House Races.

November 18, 2020 Skip

Abstracted:

- Ahead of the 2020 election, Cook listed 27 races as “toss-ups,” meaning they were too close to predict one way or the other. Republicans won all 27.
- Despite being assured that conservatism was about to drown beneath an impending “blue wave,” Republicans won every single close race.

I Think This Constitutes a Significant Voter Fraud Effort

November 18, 2020November 17, 2020 Skip

Voter fraud exists and not always just detected at the polls. Often, it is what is done before a ballot gets inserted into the box that is fraud. Ballot harvesting, letting non-citizens vote, voter rolls unkept, dead people voting, universal ballot mailing to “dead” addresses.

Notable Quote – Contrary to What the Progressives Believe…

November 17, 2020 Skip

Contrary to What the Progressives Believe “hoarding” of their own wealth and not spending it on the “right things” (according to Progressives) is actually a public good and not a bad thing. But then again, Progressives are the greedy ones.

Civil War – a Light Hearted “Starting Gun” Narrative (“Control the Narrative, Control the People”)

November 15, 2020November 15, 2020 Skip

The MSM has been screaming “White Supremacist Militias” for a while. Ignoring their Brownshirts (Antifa and Black Live Matter rioters) who have been more violent and more destructive than any “militia” groups outside of any Democrat-held urban areas.

Yes, New Hampshire is starting to get hit by the WuFlu again and it seems that numbers are getting higher again:

Pete Ingemi (DaTechGuy) locked out of Twitter – 3rd time!

November 14, 2020 Skip

Twitter really doesn’t like any talk about Benford’s Law (although it seems to have passed the Twitter / FB Big-Bro Content Smellers for us) and Pete Ingemi really does seem to be having an issue with them (ok, really, it’s them with him. Naw, really, with all of us that are on the other side … Read more

Data Point – For context, remember that the US spends $30 Billion a year on pet food

November 14, 2020 Skip

The Left keeps yammering that there’s too much money in politics. Well, they keep putting into play by making Government too big in terms of demanding it takes more of your money spending that money in ways it shouldn’t be – but a lot goes to “friends” And this election cycle? More and more money … Read more

So, trying to pull a “Doug Scamman” in the US House?

November 13, 2020 Skip

For those of you who don’t remember, Doug Scamman was a RINO who served in the NH House for 13 terms. He was Speaker of the NH House from 1986 to 1990 and 2004 to 2006. His greatest feat was to be elected to the Speaker, not by the Republicans, but essentially by the Democrats.

Yeah, That Lasted Long – AOC: to Hell With Biden’s “Unity” Message

November 13, 2020November 13, 2020 Skip

That Unity schtick is wearing thin already. What is coming across is “shut up, we’re in charge, and you WILL like it because SUBMIT.” You know, the same old message from the Moral Superiority Left.

Hey, Republicans for Biden – I Just Have to Get This off My Chest

November 13, 2020November 12, 2020 Skip

Again, I get it – you hate Trump for simply stylistically being not your cup of coffee (I would have said TEA but it is now clear you don’t go that way either). He’s too loud, he does that Tweet thingie, he’s too rough and tumble, and how dare he be richer than me?
