Does jealousy extend to the quantum levels? Is it that ingrained in us? And yes, I thought the image itself was “amusing”. (H/T: Powerline)

Lockdowns Are Crushing the Little Guy – Democrats Are Crushing the Little Guy

December 22, 2020

Leftists obsess about income inequality. But no act has widened the gap between the rich and the poor more than the lockdowns going on right now. So remove your cranium from your rectum.

NH Lawsuit: I Think Taxxachusetts Has Screwed Itself Again

December 23, 2020December 22, 2020 Steve MacDonald

New Hampshire has a lawsuit against Massachusetts. The Bay State tweaked its non-resident tax rules when the Rona hit. Anyone forced to work remotely who never had or was forced to work remotely more often would still pay Mass. taxes on those remote wages.

The Myth of Per-Student Cost

December 22, 2020 Ian Underwood

‘Money should be attached to students instead of to institutions’ is a new catch phrase that I’ve been hearing and reading a lot lately.

December 22, 2020 Skip

Risk just isn’t fundamental, it is an absolute necessity. This is one reason why Progressivism always fails – it is ALWAYS trying to not just reduce risk in Society, it tries (sadly) to remove it completely.

Global Warming Bad News Bears, Sea Ice, and Climate Cult Narratives

July 10, 2022December 22, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Imagine an animal rights activist telling you that black bears eating trash in New England neighborhoods were signs of global warming. It’s actually a sign of people leaving trash out and bears discovering how much easier it is to find food. But that’s not how the narrative works.

If the Courts Don’t Act… Will You?

“The crisis is arrived when we must assert our rights, or submit to every imposition, that can be heaped upon us, till custom and use shall make us as tame and abject slaves.” —George Washington (1774)

A Tale of Cancel Culture – Daring to Question Black Lives Matter

December 22, 2020December 22, 2020 Skip

The Left is vindictive and of a hive mind. Like a swarm of killer bees (as we’ve seen on GraniteGrok, the Bickfords in Gilford and newly elected NH State Rep Dawn Johnson of Laconia), they come from near and wide not to disagree with you in a debate, but to Silence you.

Christmas Cheer – Oh, Holy Night

This time by Home Free – another acapella group I recognize from “The Spin-off”. Great bass singer as well! (H/T: OldManNH for the song tip!)

Next time NH Democrats start yammering about “Dark Money” in campaigns, remember this:

How About A Confederation of States?

December 22, 2020

Texas State GOP Chairman Allen West had this to say about the SCOTUS decision on the Texas case: “The Supreme Court, in tossing the Texas lawsuit that was joined by seventeen states and 106 members of Congress, has decreed that a state can take unconstitutional actions and violate its own election law.

Data Point – Top 10 Car Producing Countries

A rather interesting “infographic” video that show the car production of the top 10 countries over time – I was a bit surprised at the end how many cars the top country was manufacturing: (H/T: Leo)

NH COVID Threat Index Update 12-21-20

December 22, 2020 Steve MacDonald

The political will exerted to slow the spread has not slowed th spread. Masks don’t do it, nor does distancing or other restrictions. But, as we’ve been pointing out, that hardly matters when catching COVID19 presents little real risk of hospitalization or death for any one in the state under 70 in NH.

Group of Owners Ban Gov. Cuomo From Their NYC Restaurants

December 22, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Andy Cuomo just lost access to several eateries in the Big Apple. The Facebook Group ‘NYC Restaurants Open has announced that its members will refuse the governor service, and they were not the least bit polite about it.

Nashua Curfew Is an Empty Useless Gesture That Will Stop Jobs and Commerce And Nothing Else

December 21, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Democrats excel at meaningless gestures. Gun control increases crime. Welfare traps people in poverty. Mask mandates do nothing, nor does distancing, lockdowns, curfews, or dining restrictions. It’s all a waste of time and the lives of people who have nothing to fear from their latest boogie-man, COVID19.

NH Formally Declines to Foist a Massive Regional Gas Tax on Struggling Granite Staters

December 21, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Whatever our thoughts may be about Chris Sununu regarding Emergency orders (not good, if you didn’t notice), he got this one right. New Hampshire, along with Maine, has opted not to sign on to the Transportation Climate Initiative memorandum of understanding.

The Tools of Submission

December 21, 2020 Percy Blakeney

It is one thing if we are told you have to give up your liberty and freedom and return, we’re going to save your life. But that is not what is being said. You have to give up all your freedoms and they’re wrong on the science.

All of This Social and Economic Devastation for a 0.25% Infection Fatality Rate?

December 21, 2020 Op-Ed

Imagine living in a town of 10,000 people. According to national averages, 75 people in your town will die annually from all causes – cancers, accidents, Alzheimer’s, strokes, pneumonia, heart attacks.* Each death is sad, but this is our reality since time immemorial.
