May 9, 2020 Skip

SHOT: Gov. Chris Sununu: “My job is to be the central economic planner for NH” That’s what a tipster just sent me a few minutes ago. The video is up on Facebook by WMUR here: https://www.facebook.com/wmur9/videos/vb.6439768716/1917626108370329/?type=2&theater.

Our Current Unemployment Crisis is Not Organic – It is an Act of Admininstrative Force

May 9, 2020May 8, 2020

All I hear about in economic news is the unemployment rate and how high it is. Surprise!

“Experts” discuss what will happen when we get back to normal. At least the experts admit we are not in normal times. Thank God for small admissions.

The Amazon Model of Schooling

May 8, 2020 Ian Underwood

Some of us who are carrying some extra pounds around can avoid thinking about it too much by wearing loose clothing, avoiding large reflective surfaces (like mirrors or plate glass windows), and generally imagining that things aren’t so bad. Then one day, we have to see a doctor, so we have to get on a scale, and we can no longer avoid facing the fact that we’ve let things get completely out of hand.

That’s a lot like what’s going on with remote schooling.

May 8, 2020 Steve MacDonald

If you are still clinging (bitterly) the notion that the Russians colluded with Donald Trump’s campaign, your heart just got stabbed 53 more times. Fifty-Three House Intelligence Committee investigation transcripts are cleared for public release, and there’s still no “there” there.

So there is this from earlier today: And this: And a few days ago this: As you may recall, we were told by the “experts” that we had to put the economy in lockdown because “the surge is coming,” “the peak is coming” or some variation on the foregoing … and that absent the lockdown … Read more

Even Darth Vader got it in the end

May 8, 2020 Skip

Is it time for us to make sure that petty micro-totalitarian politicians also receive their “political end”. I can’t go a single day, sometimes not even an hour, and see a Governor has done it, a County official has done it, or a local Mayor has done so. Even bureaucrats, especially health officers, keep changing … Read more

A Bleg – I thought this was a great idea at the time

May 8, 2020 Skip

And I still think it is. However, ideas are good only if action is put behind them. So with us now in the middle of this Government Overreach Pandemic, here is the idea: We need to setup a clearinghouse of all these infringements into our Constitutional and Civil Rights. Then, after what should be a … Read more

Who happens to be the Governor of Colorado: The new safer-at-home order is in effect through at least May 27, meaning that Coloradans are expected to stay close to home past Memorial Day, the unofficial start of the summer and a popular weekend for camping and hiking. The fear is that visitors will either contract … Read more

It’s time to stop focusing on just physical health, Gov Sununu

May 8, 2020 Skip

For two months it has been a nonstop yammering of “flatten the curve”, “overwhelm our hospital system”, “community transmission”, and “testing, testing, and testing.”

Palate Cleanser – Yes, I AM!

May 8, 2020 Skip

‘Course, they think I’m older than dirt already so it’s not much of a stretch. The Grandson? No, he won’t believe it once he gets old enough to know what Google is. Now, bringing up AltaVista is a different conundrum for them all. Do YOU remember it? And yes, I’m older than that… (H/T: Sad … Read more

The Obvious and Simple System of Natural Liberty

May 8, 2020

Through natural liberty people have the ability to attend well to their own interests. That is true when government weighs down the people with the sort of burdens governments are so fond of imposing.

“Public Health” is Just Another Mule for Tyranny

September 12, 2021May 8, 2020 Steve MacDonald

I was having a chat with an old friend about politics. The state of division. The anger and frustration. Democrats, Republicans, primaries, crappy candidates, Trump, and what to do about or with any of it. What to do about what?

Licensing is when the government takes away your right to do something, and then sells it back to you (H/T: Tombstone Gabby) NH is one of the most heavily licensed States in the Union.

WH Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany Takes ‘Em to the Woodshed

May 8, 2020May 8, 2020 Steve MacDonald

A change away from in-person Daily White House press conferences had the media all uppity. As opposed to how uppity they were during the daily in-person press conferences? Sure. Well, Kayleigh McEnany took over the role and has returned to the practice, and this display makes it all worth it.

Governor Sununu, You Have Some Splainin’ To Do!

May 8, 2020 Ken Eyring

Just as when Ricky Riccardo told Lucy she had some splainin to do when she made a mess of things (way back when in the “I Love Lucy” TV series), Governor Sununu also has some splainin to do (as well as his advisors) for the mess they have put NH in. Their policies are killing … Read more
