Two nights ago I walked into my bedroom to find my 16-year-old daughter sitting cross-legged, hunched over on my bed, tears running down her pale face, sobs coming out of her mouth. She doesn’t want to go on with school work, communicating, or with life in general.
Quick Thought – No water for Merrimack?
Watching WMUR Daybreak and they reported that the Town of Merrimack is “waterless” due to water main break near the Turkey Hill pumping station. Hmmm, usually when there is NO water, regular schools are dismissed and students are sent home. But EVERY student is now being homeschooled, right? And they are ALSO out of water. How … Read more
Quick Thought: caution to the rubes: it’s “assimilation”
Normally I’d title this under Notable Quote but hopefully a Quick Thought will do it: When you progressives say “public-private partnership,” we liberals hear “public-private conspiracy.” -Deidre McCloskey ( Why Liberalism Works: How True Liberal Values Produce a Freer, More Equal, Prosperous World for All) And she means “Classic Western Liberalism” when she says “liberals”. … Read more
If You Don’t Stand up Now They’ll Know They Can Keep You On Your Knees
In the course of coarse discourse, one thing is clear. The only party that wants people to die are Democrats. But there is something they want to kill even more than unborn babies—the Constitution’s power to limit them from confining you at will.
Cowards in Congress Were Always Less Essential Than Grocery Store Clerks
Here’s a quick little truth-nugget for you. The US House has announced it will not be going back to work until at least May 4th. Circumstances being what they are, they’d rather wait a bit longer before venturing back to work. In other words, they are non-essential.
Decision Making in New Hampshire
The government, through its actions, is doing far more harm to us, than can be rationalized. This does not say the people in government did not have good intentions. But the harm done is real. It is unquestionable.
What do COVID-19 And Abortion Have in Common? Both Can Interrupt a Life Not Yet Lived to its Fullest
Democrats are cluttering up my Twitter feed with strawman arguments about saving lives from COVID-19. As if they actually give a damn. They don’t care about lives lost as a result of shutting down the economy. This is therefore not about lives lost if we restart it. Not that they have any credibility on the value of life.
Stories of the NH Shutdown’s Unintended Consequences
At ReopenNH.com, they have added a page called stories. People around the state have been submitting content. These stories are about the unintended consequences of the political will used against them in response to COVID-19.
Statistical Horror Story
The pandemic from hell erupted as a panic of politicians. It is now a comedy of Mash-minded med admins and stooges with microphones. They are covering their ifs, ands, and butts. There’s no question about their use of ever more morbid and distorted statistics.
Jeanne Shaheen Still Doesn’t Beleive Our Government Spied on the Trump Campaign?
The bipolar corporate media has been back and forth on this issue for years. Trump wasn’t spied on, okay he was, no he wasn’t, well there was a good reason. As it turns out, there was no good reason unless you are convinced it was good because it was Trump.
“Study: Historic Drop in U.S. Reading and Math Scores Since Common Core ‘Debacle’”
That’s the headline over at Breitbart. Like anyone is really surprised that a system of learning and content that was never really beta tested would have turned out as awful as we all saw it to be? It was Edu-babble supreme and only succeeded in one thing – separating parents from being able to help … Read more
Data Point – the old, the infirm, and COVID-19. Yeah, Freedom, too.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to ANYONE here in NH that has been following the numbers: More than half of the COVID-19 deaths in Europe have occurred in long-term care or nursing home facilities. It is “an unimaginable human tragedy,” Dr. Hans Kluge declared. Europe is not alone. At least one in five deaths recorded … Read more
A Career Progressive Brings Bad News – There is no ‘Green’ in Electric Vehicles
One of the keystones of the green energy fantasy has been to shift transportation away from combustion to electric-powered vehicles. We’ve been pointing out for over a decade that they are playing a joke on you. Not only are they not the solution, but they are also another dirty, nasty, un-green lie.
So what have we learned about COVID-19 and its “management”
Yeah, that graphic says it all. Obviously, critical thinking is being used less and less, too. This post got triggered by one at Instapundit that spoke to things at the national level:
Herd Immunity Sweden Vs. United States
There are three ways to stop any disease: Vaccine; prevention, which is not currently available for coronavirus. Cure; anecdotally, several are available but they are only in use in some places, by some doctors, which is a self infliction of sub-optimization. And finally establishing herd immunity.
Op-Ed: Those at Risk Should Take Caution, As for The Other 98% of the Population…
Every day in the US 8,000 people die (on average) due to normal everyday life – having nothing to do with the Coronavirus. It’s just a fact of 300 million population and an 80-year life span. This means that during the past two months of economic shutdown nearly 500,000 people have died.
Have we lost our sense of proportion?
Late one evening years ago, I stepped outside and was greeted by a police officer kneeling beside his car with his gun drawn. He told me to get back in the house, and I complied with his excellent suggestion. This was a real emergency. I learned later that one of my neighbors was unwell and had brandished a gun.
Pro Tip for Remote Schooling
Many students — and their parents — have been caught off guard by the COVID-induced transition from on-site schooling to remote schooling. However, there is a technology — which many students already have access to — that can help make up for the loss of classroom teaching time. Let me describe what it is, and how it works.
Hey, Gov. Flu-nu-nu! – Vermont Just Opened Outdoor Restaurant Seating
A little over a week ago, we shared the good news from the state, just a step to our Left. Vermont’s “republican” governor announced a plan to begin reopening the state.
The MYTH That New Hampshire Cannot Lift the Lockdown Until We Have …. “More Testing”
This from yesterday: This is the latest excuse from Team-Lockdown to delay lifting the lockdown: “We need more testing!” “We’re flying bind without more testing!” “Until we ge more people tested, … ” BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. The truth is we know all we need to know to lift the lockdown. First, we already know that … Read more
