Data Point – the old, the infirm, and COVID-19. Yeah, Freedom, too.

April 29, 2020 Skip

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

August 14, 2021April 29, 2020 Steve MacDonald

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”

April 29, 2020 Skip

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

April 28, 2020

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…

April 29, 2020April 28, 2020 Op-Ed

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?

April 29, 2020April 28, 2020 Stephen Scaer

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

April 29, 2020April 28, 2020 Ian Underwood

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

April 28, 2020 Steve MacDonald

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”

April 28, 2020 Ed Mosca

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

Is a Rebellion Forming Against Governor Sununu From within His Own Party?

April 28, 2020 Skip

I saw the poll that Ed had commented on before (“Massive Majority in New Hampshire Support Authoritarian Government and Willing to Believe Anything Government/Press Tell Them“) and had basically thrown up my hands in horror.

Harvard: Wind Turbines Warm the Planet

August 16, 2021April 28, 2020 Steve MacDonald

It’s no secret – at least around here – that wind power is an incredibly dirty energy source. The meager output and life expectancy can’t begin to abate the destruction required to make and dispose of them. They kill birds, bats, and now, according to Harvard, they warm the planet.

China’s Position in the World After Coronavirus

April 28, 2020

The world was a dangerous place before coronavirus. It is not going to be safer or friendlier because of it. We are still debating the proper ongoing response to the virus. Some of us are bickering back and forth about the infection’s origins, nature, and trajectory.

Let My People Go

April 28, 2020April 28, 2020

We should adjust our response based on the data. Instead, we have decided to keep people at home. Everything we have studied about quarantine, typically we quarantine the sick. We have never seen where we quarantine the healthy.

Judge Rules Governor’s Stay-at-Home Order Violates Civil Liberties

April 28, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, like many governors, has placed significant restrictions on individual rights under the rubric of “public safety.” But a Circuit Court judge has determined that the governor’s stay at home order exceeds the authority of his emergency powers.

Surveying the International Landscape

April 28, 2020

With a cursory surveying the international landscape it is readily discernible America’s position in the world is at best precarious. We burden ourselves with unsustainable debt which we has no plan to repay or reduce. Our trade position is precarious. Our partners are weak and our enemies many. We would do well to assess out … Read more

With 2.3 Million Guns Sold in March, NH’s Assault Rep Katherine Rogers Must be Seeking Help

April 28, 2020 Skip

I wasn’t quite sure how to handle this post. Call it a Notable Quote. So a modified fisking. Or, just put it up wholesale. It’s by Larry Keane over at The Truth About Guns and doesn’t really lend itself to the first two. Too long for a Quote and frankly, I wouldn’t be able to add much of value in doing a fisking.

Does It Make Sense to Quarantine the Well?

April 27, 2020

New Hampshire does not seem to be asking itself the obvious question: Why does it make sense to quarantine the well? And emergency room doctors are being pressured to add coronavirus to death reports: Why is that? Is it in order to make the disease look worse than it really is?

The Nashua Telegraph Goes Almost Entirely Digital Overnight

April 27, 2020 Steve MacDonald

The Nashua Telegraph has been bleeding like most daily papers in the country. A problem that the current “crisis” (loss of ad revenue) has only accelerated. To keep itself alive and breathing the “paper” announced that it will end all print editions except Sunday effective immediately.

How you can get Minoxidil from Numan for hair loss treatment

April 27, 2020April 27, 2020 Guest Contributor

At some points, we become concerned about the health of our hair. At the age of 35, about 40% of men experience visible hair loss. By the time these individuals get to the age of 60, the number increases to 65% and up to 80% at the age of 80. This is a worrying concern … Read more

But do you have masks for sale, BJ’s?

April 27, 2020April 27, 2020 Skip

I’ve been a “member” for a number of years and I get a lot of emails from them to buy this or that, something else, and this other thing as well. And get their sponsored credit card from time to time. This time, however, was different – partly commonsense and partly a demand:
