ReopenNH - We are all Essential

Have we lost our sense of proportion?

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 … Read more

Judge Rules Governor’s Stay-at-Home Order Violates Civil Liberties

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, like many governors, has placed significant restrictions on individual rights under the rubric of “public safety.” But a Circuit Court judge has determined that the governor’s stay at home order exceeds the authority of his emergency powers. 

Why Does It Make Sense to Quarantine the Well?

Does It Make Sense to Quarantine the Well?

New Hampshire does not seem to be asking itself the obvious question: Why does it make sense to quarantine the well? And emergency room doctors are being pressured to add coronavirus to death reports: Why is that? Is it in order to make the disease look worse than it really is?

Constitutional convention: yea or nay?

New Hampshire: We Could have Celebrated Easter at the Liquor Store

We now have restrictions on church services. Isn’t it handy how the “separation of church and state” only works one way? Leftists often insist the “religious right” is attempting to create a theocratic state. Religious people are shoving faith down their throats.

Elective Surgery Options During Coronavirus: Skin Cancer No, Abortion, Yes!

I have been known, from time to time, to ask questions. Like, why am I paying for other people’s elective surgeries? It’s my money but I don’t get to choose?

Appeals Court Rules Feds Can Withhold Federal Dollars to Cities That Refuse to Work with ICE

The ongoing feud between Mr. Trump enforcing the law and ballot-harvesting liberal urban welfare pimps breaking it has hopped another speedbump. Left-Wing crime capitalists protect illegal alien drug lords and human traffickers. Trump says, if you won’t help us with criminal-aliens we’ll cut your federal funds.

Great – Here comes the Biomass Plant of the NH Healthcare Industry Begging for Political Protection

Y’all know how I feel about Government picking winners and losers. It should butt out. And if a company has placed itself in the loser category by mismanagement (with my only caveat being it is vital to a military or Constitutional mandate), let it BE a loser and disappear into History’s dust bin.

Without Fossil Fuels Millions of Americans Could Freeze to Death

It’s weeks like this when you learn what ‘cold’ really means. The midwest has seen new record lows all across the region. The kind of cold that only fossil fuels can hold at bay. Assuming you’ve got them in adequate quantities. Which it appears they do not.

Gee, if only someone had warned them…

And yes, that would be we Groksters.  For years we have warned about taking “free money with strings attached.” There’s another meme that describes the below from the Pravda on the Merrimack: “Fed crack.” No, not real drugs but the allure and the addiction is just as real as that white powder: greenbacks. Lots of … Read more

NY gun control organization takes out bogus ad about ‘Constitutional Carry’

Yesterday there was a full page ad in New Hampshire’s Union Leader, paid for by New York gun control organization Everytown for Gun Safety. The gun safety part is emphasized because these people aren’t for gun safety at all, they are for gun bans and gun control. This is an organization run by New York … Read more

Illegal alien kids shuffled to NH Right to Know request – A report (Part 1)

One of our ‘Grok friends, “K”, decided that she was not going to be one of those that would sit back and just “roll with it” – or like many, retreat into a cocoon of their own making and isolating from the world that seems to be spinning out of control.  With the news of … Read more

519 “Well Sourced” Examples of Barrack Obama’s Lying, Corruption, Law-Breaking, and Cronyism

Someone, bless their heart, has compiled a well-sourced (their words) list of 519 examples of Barack Obama’s lying, corruption, law-breaking and cronyism. I am posting it as is with the understanding that it may take me days or even weeks to go through it, if I ever do manage to get through it. I encourage … Read more

The Manhunt Evolves at Least One on Guns

Growing up, Paula was afraid of guns and never wanted one in her home. She recounts when an abstract belief reified itself; when the safety projected by modernity dissipated and revealed itself to be illusory. Protection was always one phone call away, she didn’t expect that to change.

The Nashua Telegraph Has An Integrity Deficit

“There is hardly any mental misery worse than that of having our own serious phrases, our own rooted beliefs, caricatured by a charlatan or a hireling.” —George Eliot Two days ago, the Nashua Telegraph wrote an Editorial asking, “Why does the NRA fear truth about guns?” Upon carefully reading the article and researching the sources (or … Read more

Tonight’s Republican Debate

No, am not tweeting the debate as I am trying to catch up on other things (like audio from the last two GrokTALK! shows).  However, just before the debate started, I ran across the the RomneyCare story that was being discussed (food fighted?). It is simply awful: Lauren and Nick Destito had a wonderful life … Read more

Facebook Doodlings – the nature of the President

I had written a while ago out of a frustration of Obama becoming the Imperial President that Richard Nixon was accused of, and of the seemingly walk down the path of The Rule of Law to the Rule of Man given the actions of the Executive Branch’s Departments and Agencies: The President’s first job is … Read more

A small, lean military to protect us from foreign invaders….

This just in from Jamie Dupress at wsbradio.com. Please read the following list and explain why each of these military construction projects are necessary to protect the United States from foreign invaders. This is why they call it "the Welfare-Warfare State." We must dismantle both sides of the government spending-monster, or continue our spiral downward as a nation.

MAKING MONEY??!! In the Cradle of Liberty? Whaddayuhnuts?

… . . When we debate the health care "crisis" we tend to miss what the real battle involves. To me it’s clear: we are caught in a tug-of-war between our free market (capitalist) system and socialism. The private sector in which people "profit"– which is then split between the earner keeping the fruits of … Read more

The Future of NH? The Taxman Cometh…

Charlie Arlinghaus of the Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy has released a study on what he sees as a growing hole in the NH state budget. It is lengthy, but a good read for the long weekend. Of course, if you wish to "not worry and be happy," you’d better skip it… . Tax … Read more
