Black Lives Matter – Really, peaceful? What about: ‘Every City, Every Town, Burn the Precincts to the Ground’

July 22, 2020 Skip

That’s from Black Live Matter “protesters” in Rose City (er, Portland) that has been “peaceful” for the last 51 nights. That chant isn’t sounding all that peaceful to me (although it’s at least different from the “This is what Democracy looks like” or other shopworn-to-bit chants they normally yammer): "Every city, every town, burn the … Read more

Girls Sports, Women for Trump, Masked Minions, and Virus Socialism

December 22, 2024July 22, 2020 Steve MacDonald

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.

Grace’s Paradox

July 22, 2020 Ian Underwood

One of my dogs, Grace, can only jump up onto our bed if she’s trying to go over it, to get to something on the other side. When her goal is to end up on the bed, she can’t seem to figure out how to make that happen. Which always makes me think of one of Zeno’s famous paradoxes.

That “Woke” 30% is Calling the Rest of us RAAACISTS!

July 22, 2020 Skip

In this time of Black Lives Matter and the eternally offended if you aren’t with the Woke, Social Justice Warriors’ Narrative of Morality (and THEIR immoral and illiberal sense of morality is the only legitimate one), you’re every name in the book. Then say hello to the Cancel Culture, silencing, shut down, you name it.

Home Schooling interest rises as public schools/teachers unions make it plain they’re ignoring their employers – Parents/Taxpayers

July 22, 2020July 22, 2020 Skip

I think the educational-industrial complex is starting to really rile up a lot of parents to the point that they are beginning to really realize who works for whom.

Microsoft CEO Nadella doesn’t care about “fundamental Rights” – he’s looking to his bottom line.

July 22, 2020 Skip

Just like we saw his company’s founder (Bill Gates) with Common Core and ALL that resulting data to run through his servers and monetize it. Ditto here (reformatted, emphasis mine): New York (CNN Business) Among the many types of inequality in the United States laid bare by the coronavirus pandemic is the digital divide between … Read more

Notable Quote – why do we trust public officials as if they were non-partisan?

July 22, 2020 Skip

These People are politically driven. Even if (contrary to fact) there were a scientifically determinable single best course of government action in this crisis, what reason have These People given us to believe that they are capable of finding that course and of understanding it? And even if These People could find and understand this scientifically ‘best’ course of … Read more

Social Distancing Theory a Product of 14-Year Old’s School Science Project

July 22, 2020 Steve MacDonald

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.

July 22, 2020 Steve MacDonald

I will back in Nashua today as a guest host on Life with Liz (WSMN 1590 AM). This time around, we will be talking about the COVID19 Chaos, Mask Mandates, Dopey Distancing, and that hot new Virus Socialism they’ve whipped up.

Stanford Doc – The Science on COVID19 and Kids – Let them Go Back to School

July 22, 2020 Steve MacDonald

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. ”

Learn about Locked Handgun Storage

July 21, 2020 Guest Contributor

If you are an older gun owner, you will remember a time when guns did not need to be locked up at all times and most folks knew how to handle a gun properly. Times have changed since then and the majority of modern gun owners now store their firearms safely, under lock and key, … Read more

NH’s ‘Don’t Go Viral’ Campaign Teaches Our Youth Useless Measures and Pointless Practices

June 30, 2023July 21, 2020 Steve MacDonald

New Hampshire has announced a digital campaign targeting New Hampshire youth called “Don’t Go Viral.” The emphasis is on social distancing and wearing a mask in the lead up to a return to school. The problem? Social distancing is based on a high school science project, and there’s no reason for healthy people to wear masks. None.

Yesterday’s J20 Strike for Black Lives – to Push Marxist Bucket List – More or Less a Dud

July 21, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Americans (of color) have been hijacked. The far-left is using you to advance a political system based on economic slavery. It seems to me, given the tumultuous history surrounding that practice, that Black America would take offense and tell the Marxists to stop culturally appropriating their lives.

Maskachusetts (The Model for NH Democrats) Has the WORST Unemployment in the Nation

July 21, 2020 Steve MacDonald

It’s no secret that Democrats in New Hampshire love Massachusetts. They pine for the taxes, the size, and scope of its government, those regulatory burdens, the union influence, and, oh my, their mask mandate. But do they want this? The Bay State has the worst unemployment in the nation.

President Signs Order to Prevent Illegal Aliens from Being Counted for Redistricting

July 21, 2020 Steve MacDonald

The entire point of counting illegal non-citizens is to tip redistricting in favor of Democrats. There is no reason to believe they should be counted. If the census was for every person in a state at the time of the census, any number of folks could move somewhere, claim to live there legally, tip the scales then leave.

Can you fire someone for being a jerk?

July 21, 2020 Ian Underwood

Recently, I was listening to some liberty-minded conservatives discuss the question of whether it should be legal for an employer to discipline or fire an employee for what that employee says on his own time, away from the workplace. They agreed that this would violate the employee’s ‘First Amendment right to free speech’. Say what?

Red Bull Purges #Woke US Execs – Allegedly Cleans House over BLM and Identity Politics Voodoo

July 21, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Austrian based Red Bull has a different set of values from its American arm. It is a problem that has risen to the fore during the BLM, riots, and Identity Politics hijinks. US Execs, unhappy with the company response, and looking to embrace more Identity Politics PR suddenly find themselves unemployed.

NPR Broadcast Ratings Take a Hit – No Commute, No Commuters Listening

July 21, 2020 Auntie Vaquser

NPR’s cavalcade of partisan political radio romances is officially a COVID19 casualty. Wounded would be more accurate. The New America, with its infectious factions facilitating frauds, has hit the fake-news NPR to the tune 25% of its listening audience.

Palate Cleanser – Robot haircutter

July 21, 2020July 21, 2020 Skip

Just as long as SkyNet doesn’t get any funny ideas when I sit in that metal collar. Also, instead of talking weather and sports, the robot has GOT to do hardcore politics. No ifs or buts. Your (mileage | hair | conversation) will vary… I’ll stick with Mustache Pete’s! (H/T: IEEE Spectrum)
