The Myth of Gerrymandering

August 10, 2019 Ed Mosca

I have been very active on twitter opposing HB 706, the misnamed (purposefully) “Independent Redistricting Commission” and supporting the Governor’s veto. For example: I recently had a twitter skirmish with a Socialist-robot who was apoplectic that HB 706 had been vetoed. In part: To be clear, of course the GOP attempted to “gerrymander” in 2012. … Read more

Governor Sununu Forces Legislature to ‘Do Your Job’ on Redistricting

August 10, 2019 Steve MacDonald

This isn’t a sexy topic like stopping forced wage mandates. And it is not, to paraphrase Judge Napolitano, about how the right to bear arms is not a gift from the government that they can take away. But this veto needs to be sustained too!

The public school double standard

August 10, 2019 Ian Underwood

With Learn Everywhere back in the news, discussions about the program tend to involve errors of fact (e.g., that costs for the program would be incurred by local districts) and errors of reasoning (e.g., that offering more alternatives to some students somehow means harming other students). But to me, the discussions are most notable for the way they seek to perpetuate the double standard that defenders of the status quo like to hide behind.

Karmacare

August 10, 2019 Ian Underwood

There are a lot of tragic aspects to our current health care system. No one seems to be happy with it, and no one agrees on how to fix it. But I think there’s at least one area where we could make progress, in a way that could avoid a lot of political fighting — mostly because it wouldn’t require any taxes or regulations, which are the things we’re usually fighting about.

August 10, 2019August 10, 2019 Steve MacDonald

August 10, 2019August 10, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Jeffrey Epstein, the high-profile serial pedophile, has killed himself in prison. He was on suicide “watch,” which must have meant we watch until the dirt-bag commits suicide. Because that’s what happened.

After Just Six Months NYC Businesses Slashing Jobs and Hours over Min Wage Hike

August 10, 2019August 10, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Don’t listen to New Hampshire Democrats when they whine about working people’s wages. Gov. Sununu harpooned their job-killing minimum wage bill. The Legislature needs to sustain that veto. And we can look to Liberal New York City for evidence.

August 9, 2019 Kimberly Morin

Governor Sununu rightfully vetoed the Bloomberg-backed legislation that Democrats in the house and senate shoved through the legislature.

Fiduciary Policing

August 9, 2019 Ian Underwood

A fiduciary is someone who has a legal obligation to place the interests of another party above his own interests.

We normally see this term used when talking about things like investment advice, retirement planning, and so on. For example, if selling you a security or policy or other product would be good for a fiduciary, but bad for you, then he can’t sell it to you. But it applies to other areas as well.
