I have had the opportunity to travel the United States of America several times since the beginning of May. I think it is important to relate my experiences, to put the civil unrest in perspective.

Major Retailers Walk Back Mask Mandates They Just Put in Place
Mask wearing is not something that should be mandated. We’ve said that from early on, you decide what works for you, your circumstances. But the pressure (professional and Political) reached a head and over a matter of days, as major retailers announced mask mandates in their stores. Now, they are walking them back.
New Poll: Will Teacher’s Unions “Holding Students and Parents Hostage” Help Re-Elect Trump
A majority of parents want their kids to go to school. To the school, every day, like it used to be. The teacher’s unions, repeating the Democrat Party narrative, are holding those kids hostage; if they think parents have not noticed, they could be in for an electoral surprise.
Gov. Chris Sununu Vetoes Democrat’s Latest Arbitrary Job Killing Wage Mandate
Democrats are not fans of free and open markets. They love meddling. Licensing that restricts access and creates cartels, regulations that limit opportunity, and jobs that demand tithing to their union-boss political allies. They also think they know what every starting hour of labor in every occupation is worth. They don’t.
Breaking: Vermont Gov. Phil Scott Issues State-Wide Mask Mandate
The pressure across New England to engage in useless virtue-signaling grows. Vermont Governor Phil Scott has introduced a statewide order mandating masks in public. To slow the spread, don’t you know.
DC Mask Mandate – Government Employees and Lawmakers are Exempt
Here’s a quick little diddy about DC and the Ruling class. The mayor, a Democrat, has instituted a mask mandate across the District. Everyone three-years or older has to wear them, but government employees and lawmakers are exempt.
Oppression is the Product of Democrat Leadership, Destruction an Expression of their Politics
Democrats may not have realized how badly they’ve screwed up. By replacing economic inequality with racial inequality (to advance Marxism), they have created a ruling class ethic to which most of them can never belong.
Update on Vermont COVID19 Testing – 73% of Tests Were False Positives
Four days ago, we reported on how 33 of 63 positive test results in Manchester, Vermont, were false positives. If that’s disconcerting, hold my beer. That number went up. Of the 65 positive tests reported, 48 turned out to be false positives. That’s a 73% failure rate.
Going Backward: “Charlie Parker” Imposes 14- Day Traveler Quarantine in Mass. with $500.00 Fine for Violators
Messachusetts, Maskachusetts, the People’s Republic, is struggling with the pandemic. In fact, they are going backward. From May to June, their unemployment went up. And as “infections” spike – not an actual indication of anything but testing – and bad tests, Gov. Charlie “Parker” has gone back to mandatory traveler quarantine.
NH Dems Want a Statewide Mandate on School Reopening? What if Gov. Sununu Could Do this!
The State released a well-thought-out guidance document on reopening schools this fall. It provides some primary considerations, relevant information from health authorities (even if I disagree with some of it), and it allows each district to do what works best for them. Democrats hate it. They want a top-down mandate.
Why a World Famous Doctor Opposed Closing Schools to Slow the Spread of the Flu
Dr. D.A. Henderson is not unknown to the global medical community. He led an international effort to eradicate smallpox. Henderson also had some thoughts about pandemics and school closings, house arrest (my words not his), and limiting public interaction. He opposed all of it.
Why Did Chris Sununu Sign a Bill Cramming Hundreds of Millions in Costs Down on NH Towns?
The governor has signed a bill setting ridiculously low and arbitrary water standards on every town and city in the State. Municipalities will need a few hundred million statewide to meet these standards with no basis in sound science (hey, VT did it!). Money that neither the towns nor the State has to spend.

Left-Wing Billionaire Tom Steyer is Back to Buy Another New Hampshire Election for Democrats
Since 2014, Billionaire Tom Steyer has dumped buckets of money into the Granite State to buy elections. In 2018 Tom Steyer’s money turned out the illegal college vote for Democrats, and it worked. Democrats won. Well, guess what? He’s back for 2020.
How Can Anyone Believe for Even a Moment That The Left Cares About Black Americans?
If we are to believe the experts, people of color are drawn to large urban environments with social infrastructure. Those are the words of Rogers Johnson, the president of the NH Seacoast NAACP. The Democrat party wants that too. But current events suggest it is not to help blacks or black lives.
Mutual of Omaha Drops Indian Chief Logo Even Though No One Demanded It (No One Even Asked)
Intimidated by the Marxist’s zeal to purge people of color from the public eye Mutual of Omaha Insurance has opted – without any promoting – to drop its iconic Indian Chief logo. No one complained. There were no threats of protest. They just did it before (presumably) the Hammar and Sickel fell.
Still Wrestling with the Union Leader for NH’s #1 Online Print Media Portal
It’s fun to revisit this now and again, mostly because of the alarm it sounds in the hearts and minds of Democrats. How in the world could that (!#/*%$!) site be getting as much online traffic as the Union Leader? This won’t help, but sometimes we get more.
Girls Sports, Women for Trump, Masked Minions, and Virus Socialism
I spent an hour on the radio this morning with Liz Gabert and we managed to cover some ground. We spoke with the Maine NH Trump Victory Communications director, Nina McLaughlin about the Women for Trump Bus Tour.
Social Distancing Theory a Product of 14-Year Old’s School Science Project
Early on in this circus, we reported on a statement by UK health officials about social distancing. They wanted to impose it and figured one meter would be adequate (no science, by the way) but settled on two-meters. Why? The experts didn’t think their citizens could quite figure out one-meter.

Stanford Doc – The Science on COVID19 and Kids – Let them Go Back to School
Dr. Scott Atlas is the former chief of neuroradiology at Stanford University Medical Center, and he thinks this is nuts. “Anyone who thinks schools should be closed is not talking about the children. ”
