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
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.”
Recent studies have shown original concerns regarding the coronavirus were way overblown, and that the mortality rate is equivalent to the seasonal flu. But the Governor continues to ignore factual data based on reputable studies and instead double down by continuing to make irrational, emotional decisions based on models that were wildly wrong and thoroughly … Read more
I’ve said this before but probably not recently. It relates to one of the primary reasons why Democrats hate private gun ownership. Or, at least my armchair psychology opinion on the matter. A theory based on years of observations.
Children need their moms and dads, especially in times of crisis. Sadly, marriage rates fell by 6% in 2018, dropping to the lowest rates since the US started measuring that rate in 1867, according to the Center for Disease Control. Why should we care? Well, marriage as an exclusive, life-long relationship between one man and … Read more
The State of Kansas has an election law requiring documentary proof of citizenship (“DPOC”) for voter registration. Why is this issue important to us in New Hampshire? NH law, RSA 654:1, makes being a citizen of the US one of the essential qualifications for registration to vote. This past Wednesday, April 29, the federal Court … Read more
Two nights ago I walked into my bedroom to find my 16-year-old daughter sitting cross-legged, hunched over on my bed, tears running down her pale face, sobs coming out of her mouth. She doesn’t want to go on with school work, communicating, or with life in general.
At ReopenNH.com, they have added a page called stories. People around the state have been submitting content. These stories are about the unintended consequences of the political will used against them in response to COVID-19.
Every day in the US 8,000 people die (on average) due to normal everyday life – having nothing to do with the Coronavirus. It’s just a fact of 300 million population and an 80-year life span. This means that during the past two months of economic shutdown nearly 500,000 people have died.
Late one evening years ago, I stepped outside and was greeted by a police officer kneeling beside his car with his gun drawn. He told me to get back in the house, and I complied with his excellent suggestion. This was a real emergency. I learned later that one of my neighbors was unwell and had brandished a gun.
How long does it take to build a new home from scratch and how many people with how many different skills are needed to get the job done? How long does it take for an uncontrollable fire to reduce that house to ashes?
Before Chris Sununu took the bait and closed the state, Democrats were screaming for a shutdown. It doesn’t take a political genius to know why. The economy is their foil, and they believe that killing it improves their chances in November.
Two studies in two different large California counties show the mortality rate of the coronavirus is similar to that of the seasonal flu. One study conducted by the University of Southern California (USC) and the L.A. Department of Public Health found that roughly 4.1% of the county’s adult population has already had the coronavirus and … Read more
I was reading how California has lifted restrictions on food trucks selling food at rest areas. That is common sense. And that got me thinking that we could be doing some common sense things to help our food establishments here in New Hampshire during the COVID-19 shutdowns.
Faith is killing us. I don’t mean faith in God. I mean faith in demigods. For the purposes of this article, it doesn’t matter whether you believe in God or not. If you are a person of faith, then it’s sinful to worship false gods. If you’re an atheist, it’s unreasonable. Both viewpoints work. Merriam-Webster … Read more
Girard at Large, the radio show (RIP) has been gone for a while. Rich had a parallel local access TV show by the same name that lived on until Manchester refused to let him in the studio. He’s no longer an elected official so no access during a lockdown. That has not stopped him.
For Immediate Release: 4/18/2020: MANCHESTER, NH – Today, the New Hampshire Federation of College Republicans are proud to announce that Matt Denaro has been elected Chairman.
Erroneous models have been used by our government to justify shutting down our freedoms and economy. Some of the decisions may have been with good intentions, but it is becoming more clear day by day that it’s time to use factual data – and get back to Keeping America Great.
In support of #Reopen NH, there is a rally in Concord this Saturday, April 18th. We’ve received a lot of questions at the ‘Grok, as have they, about how this is supposed to look. The answer? Here it is.
Last night Americans for Prosperity New Hampshire hosted a discussion with Department of Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut and SBOE Chair Drew Cline. The conversation focused on Remote Learning in New Hampshire because of COVID, state policy changes that needed to be made to make it possible, why NH was able to leap into Remote Learning … Read more
