He’s made it clear – we individuals need the handy helping hand to direct our every move and decision. This from Prof. Don Boudreaux (emphasis mine):
Judge Declares Every Oregon Pandemic Restriction Null and Void – Effective Immediately
Wildly-liberal Oregon Governor Kate Brown is miffed. A County judge has just declared every one of her pandemic orders null and void. Oregon is open for business, on appeal, of course.
Democrats Go for the Gold
America’s response to the coronavirus pandemic has been unprecedented. The complete shutdown of our national economy is truly historic. Not since World War II have Americans experienced such widespread anxiety, unrest, and economic hardship.
Feds Say Pensacola Naval Base Shooter had Ties to al Qaida
In Early December of 2019, a Saudi trainee on a Florida Naval base killed three and injured eight before he was shot and killed. Several other Saudi’s were witnessed recording the attack. Lone wolf quickly evolved into a small conspiracy, and 21 Saudis were ejected from the country.
FreedomWorks Gives Gov Sununu a “C” for Reopening New Hampshire’s Economy
FreedomWorks has issued a governor’s Report Card. They analyzed the various response and reopening strategies in each state on a handful of points (mostly the economic damage) and gave each effort a grade. How did your state do?
Speaking of Potential Vote-by-Mail Fraud: It’s The CA District 25 Edition
OK, their election was last week, so I’m a tad late. But, given that I have this OTHER vote-by-mail post on the “abstract” of the issue, here’s an example “in concrete”. And no, no whining that just because it happened in CA doesn’t mean it can’t happen here (reformatted, emphasis mine):
Palate Cleanser: jumping out of a perfectly good airplane at 25K feet – parachute IS optional
Or actually, parachute just isn’t there. At all. Would YOU decide to jump out where’s there not enough oxygen to sustain you and attempt to fly yourself into a net with no backup chute in case you change your mind or seeing that “stuff” just went sideways?
New Poll Question – Who is Your Pick to Win the NH CD-2 Republican Primary?
We’ve done the Senate race and NHCD-1, so it is on to New Hampshire Congressional District two. Like CD-1, we have three Republican candidates to choose from in this primary poll, offered to you on the poll in alphabetical order.
Notable Quote – Ludwig von Mises
Those that accept this premise totally ignore that some of those “wretched underlings” rise to be able to manipulate the Government’s levers of Powers. Thus, this narrative von Mises has made sport of, is totally untrue and broken.
Sex Work is Not “Work”
On May 7 the Union Leader published a Reuters article on their back page with the catchy title “Streetwalkers to Sweet Talkers” outlining the dilemma Chile’s prostitutes face under Covid-19 now that they cannot engage in the “intimate” aspect of their trade. As a survivor of the sexual and physical trauma of prostitution, it makes … Read more
NH Senators Shaheen and Hassan Vote to Protect “Warrantless” Online Surveillance
Democrats talk a lot about the right to privacy. New Hampshire’s Democrat Senators, Jeanne Shaheen, and Maggie Hassan have, though that is code for “abortions.” When it comes to your actual privacy, they’d rather government can spy on you (and not just the Feds.)
Data Point – COVID-19 Mortality cost vs Economy cost
The cumulative costs through May 16, 2020 were $9,826 per household ($1.2 trillion in aggregate). 16 percent of these are mortality costs (valued at $4.3 million VSL; over the past seven days, the percentage was 16).

Neurosurgeon: Research Suggests “Masks Pose Serious Risks to the Healthy”
Neurosurgeon, Dr. Russel Blaylock, has ‘penned’ an op-ed in Technocracy that points out the dangers from increased use of face masks. The two key takeaways from the piece are that there’s no evidence they do anything and that wearing them can cause you harm.
Nashua Public Health: ‘Yes’ to masks. ‘No’ to ice cream.
Mayor Jim Donchess and some Nashua aldermen have expressed a desire to mandate the wearing of masks in Nashua businesses, on penalty of a fine, to slow the spread of COVID-19.
How to talk about re-opening (continued)
A response to my previous post on this topic was such a perfect illustration of what I was talking about, I thought I would share and discuss it.
GrokPoll Results – “Who is Your Pick to Win NH’s Congressional District One Republican Primary?”
Our most recent poll question asked, “Who is Your Pick to Win NH’s Congressional District One Republican Primary?” The poll results are in and they were, at least to me (in part) a bit surprising.
So why are NH Democrats losing their minds to get vote-by-mail into place? Part 1
Emphasis mine: Heed Jimmy Carter on the Danger of Mail-In Voting: ‘Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud.’ “Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud.” That quote isn’t from President Trump, who criticized mail-in voting this week after Wisconsin Democrats tried and failed to change an election at the … Read more
