When was the last time you heard a professional politician make sense? Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee said over the weekend in an interview there should be term limits “for bureaucrats.” The comments were made in an appearance with Steve Hilton on Fox News’ “The Next Revolution.”
Registered Nurse Rant
We get so much stuff (Thank You!) that there is often not enough time to follow up on it and share it. This was interesting enough (and controversial), so I figured I’d drop it in a quick post and let the community decide what to make of it.
What You Clicked and Read the Most During the 2020 COVID Apocolypse Year- Part II
We will have published just under 4600 new posts in 2020 by New Year’s Eve. That’s just over 12 per day, every day, all year long. To focus on just 10 seems trivial, but this is a hobby, so we aren’t paying someone to post the top 100. Ten will have to do.
Portland ‘Defund the Police’ Oregon Has 116% Increase in Shootings for 2020
Portland was long past stupid many years before George Floyd overdosed on Fentanyl. We have close to 200 posts on this progressive policy poster child. Their latest left-wing tantrum included yanking 15 million and ending the city’s gun violence reduction team. Shootings are up over 116% from 2019.
Data Point – What Mayor de Blasio’s Wuflu Diktats Have Wrought
Abstracted from “New York City chain stores shutter as lockdowns kill businesses and New Yorkers flee“: Big brand stores have closed their doors in New York City after months of coronavirus lockdowns.
Action Civics: “Action civics is the application of Alinsky-style political organizing tactics to school children.”
I had never heard of the term “action civics” before I saw this post over at Powerline. Now, we see yet another word / idea being bastardized for use by the Left. I know what “direct action” is – the idea by Leftist groups that getting physical (e.g., Antifa, creating mobs, harassment, et al) is … Read more
#Woke-Culture Girl Scouts Pissed That Boy Scouts Are Attracting Their Girls
The Girl Scouts have been driving hard down the #woke highway for years. So, when the Social Justice Warriors finally broke the back of the Boy Scouts of America, they probably sniggered, maybe even applauded, at least until girls started becoming ‘Scouts’ instead of Girl Scouts.
Notable Quote – Prof Walter Williams: “if it will save just one life…”
How many times have we heard that “if it will save just one human life, it’s worth it” or that “human life is priceless”? Both are nonsense statements. If either statement were true, we’d see lower speed limits, bans on auto racing and fewer airplanes in the sky. We can always be safer than we … Read more
Newfields, NH Ban on Residential Protests is Probably Illegal and Unconstitutional
UPDATED and BUMPED: See Update II, below
Steve pointed out that the Town of Newfields decided to create its own sense of a new Protected Class. They have outlawed protests in front of any home or dwelling (yeah, I know, a rather “broad” class but stick with me here).
It’s Time for a Rally! – Help Us Protest the Governor’s Inauguration
The governor’s inauguration is scheduled for 11 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 7, on the State House Lawn. Join us and several other groups as we circle the State House sidewalks to air our dissatisfaction.
Post Coronavirus Billionaires – Profiting From Misery
There are 50 newly minted post coronavirus billionaires. Are you wondering where they come from? More than half of them hail from one country. If you guessed ‘China’… you are correct. Are you surprised?
Panic Porn: NH Media Reports 20,000 More NH Cases in December – Ignores What Really Matters
WMUR’s Headline: “NH has seen more than 20,000 new COVID-19 cases in December, DHHS reports.” What does it mean? It means nothing. And while WMUR reports hospitalizations and deaths, they never report any of that in the context for those 20,000 new positive cases. And it matters.
Notable Quote or DISQUS Doodling – Vindaloo Bugaboo
Commenter Vindaloo Bugaboo (VB) nails the imperative question at TreeHugger leaving little wiggle room, which makes the Renewable Energy types howl, scream, and break Godwin’s Law. VB took all of the posts at Tree Hugger and wrapped it up into a single question that ANY Conservative should be asking:
Newfields NH “Vigil” in Gov. Sununu’s Neighborhood Results in Fines and One Arrest [Updated]
A peaceful candlelight vigil in Gov. Sununu’s Newfields neighborhood resulted in multiple fines being issued and one alleged arrest. I guess we’ll find out if the new anti-‘picketing’ ordinance we reported on this morning is legal or not.
Companies and Governments Suppress and Censor; People Still Find Ways to Express Themselves
It should cause us great trepidation that German-style Internet controls are catching on around the world. The home of National Socialism does not have an Enlightenment perspective.
Is It Possible for a Republican to Be the Next Speaker of the US House and Not Nancy Pelosi?
I’ve wondered about that already with the Rs picking up 12/13 seats in the US House instead of the Dems picking up a “Blue Wave” of 15-20 they were expecting before the election. IF the remaining seats go the Rs way, it could be 222 to 213 – a difference of only 9 seats. All … Read more
Breaking News: House agrees to up the $600 COVID payout to $2000
And it seems that the Senate Dems are going vote for it as well: Chuck Schumer: ‘No Democrats Will Object’ in the Senate to $2,000 Stimulus Checks Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said no Senate Democrats will object to increasing $600 coronavirus relief stimulus checks to $2,000. He made the announcement Sunday night following … Read more
Will NH Dems Be Idling Their Cars During the Drive-In Session (Global Warming) or Freezing?
Put this in the “Where will the NH House now gather” folder.
Just perusing the papers and a snippet in the U(nonservative)L’s State House Dome piece had this in a longer snippet about selecting NH House Chairs and Committee assignments (emphasis mine, reformatted):
Sidney Powell … Let Her Put the Cards on the Table
Sidney Powell’s single-minded devotion to bringing truth to the 2020 election fraud appears to have gotten her canceled. All sides now seem opposed to allowing what Powell has discovered and is alleging to even be heard. Why is that?
