At the point of being redundant, there’s a CATCH-22 problem here, right? A lack of priorities, right? In Chicago, for example, they STILL have a large crime and murder rate, right? Yet, in this age with this epidemic problem, why does it seem that things get so cross-wired as to simple be PAST absurd? A … Read more
People send me links and videos every day, and there’s rarely enough time to follow up on them. Don’t stop sending them; I appreciate the leads and my apologies for getting to so few of them. What I’m sharing today is fascinating, and worth our time and attention.
It’s tragic when we lose our family members, but you do not punish a state or a nation for that. But if you were so inclined, and easily influenced by progressives who needed the economy destroyed, you might do just that.
At Noon Today Join Americans For Prosperity for an in-depth look at why high spending states are asking for a federal bailout and how they got there: The massive impact of COVID-19 has made legislators in DC more friendly than usual to the idea of gargantuan federal spending – and it’s no surprise that some … Read more
A dispute is brewing about debt, deficit, and disease. Government spending has inflicted a multi-trillion dollar deficit in America. Recent reports are projecting the single year federal budget deficit will swell to nearly $4 trillion.
A recent DNC fundraising email features Valerie Jarrett, Barack Obama’s Rasupitin for eight years. The email is titled “A crisis of leadership.” In it, she recalls all the difficult events she helped then-President Obama work through.
While researching the post on the potential for Chinese influence at UNH I stumbled over an article about some National Science Funding that I wrote a few years ago. The University of New Hampshire received $999,752 to “create a “bias awareness guide and intervention tool.”
The University of Minnesota has a Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP). It is releasing a report with new preliminary findings on the coronavirus. The research report is predicting the coronavirus could be around for a while. Longer than initial projections, potentially two years.
Background: NH Gov. Chris Sununu: “Public Health Trumps Everything“. As many of us have noted: Constitution, even? Something has been bothering me since his 3pm Presser last Friday at which time he announced his “Stay at Home 2.0”. At one point during the Presser, he was asked a question about Out of Staters coming into … Read more
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given emergency approval to a COVID-19 antibody test. The manufacturer of the test is Swiss drug maker Roche. The test boasts near-perfect accuracy according to the company’s press release.
At last night’s May 4th Salem, New Hampshire Select board meeting board secretary James Keller is reportedly fed up. According to the scuttlebutt, he is tired of people not caring if he dies (from the Coronavirus) and has proposed a fine for anyone who is out in public without a mask.
Yep, Grokster Ian gets a two-fer Day today; this one “Why Liberty?” and gives a perfect answer: Every other organizing principle for society begins by denying this fundamental truth about humans: You don’t know what’s best for me, and I don’t know what’s best for you. And so every other organizing principle is doomed to the kind of failure that … Read more
American trucking is responsible for much of our way of life. Most of us fail to realize how many of the things we use or consume daily do not have a local source. Whether it’s food, fuel, electronics or clothes; the goods are not from a local source.
My wife just asked me an interesting and instructive question: If the police are willing to go around hassling parents and kids at playgrounds, why weren’t they at Saturday’s rally in Concord to tell everyone to go home? Do you suppose it could have anything to do with the fact so many of the people … Read more
The state of Ohio has set up a website for employers. As businesses begin to reopen, they want to know who has not returned to work, if they quit (resigned), or if they are milking the unemployment system and just hanging out at home.
Russia tries to interfere with every election. But in 2016, the Democrats made sure that meddling had legs. They took disinformation provided to Christopher Steele (they paid for) and used it to unseat a President. But the CIA and FBI had evidence of Putin’s favorite as far back as Jan 2017. And it wasn’t Trump.
Back in 2018, we posed a simple question. Was the University of New Hampshire taking strings attached funding from China? It has had a Confucius Institute for ten years, and in March of 2018, the CIA flagged them as foreign influence organizations.
You probably never think about Australia and snow unless you have been there or you pay attention to this sort of thing (I’m the latter). An early pre-winter snow storm has dropped about a foot of white stuff, much to the pleasure of the ski industry down under.
