Remember that narrative about COVID-19? The one where this virus is “hitting” the black community hardest? Even here in New Hampshire, I have seen it. Problem? Black Communities are not the hardest hit by COVID-19 in New Hampshire.

Wal-Mart is Making Masks Mandatory
If you live somewhere that doesn’t mandate masks, we’ll call it a place with smart people who let adults make decisions, this will still impact you if you shop at Wal-Mart. The retailer has announced its own mask mandate beginning next Monday.
NH Recommends in Person K-12 Education Beginning in September
The Governor’s Office has released a 49-page report on (to boil it all down) how to get kids back in the classroom beginning in September. In other words, the recommendation is in-person teaching from the beginning of the school year.
Proof: Democrats Want Government Between You and Your Doctors, and That it Could Kill You
I would not be surprised to hear someone announce that using Hydroxychloroquine to treat patients with COVID19 is racist. At this point, they will do or say anything to get between you and your doctor. Not that this was never the plan. It was always the plan.
Gov Sununu – “It is imperative that folks attending the (Trump) rally wear masks”
The “rising cases” bugbear has replaced its predecessors (overburdened Hospitals, ICUs, etc.) as the new focal point for fearmongering the SARS CoV2. A factor easily adjusted by merely testing more or less, defined by who is President not pressing health concerns. So, with Trump on his way to NH, guess what?
The US Economy Recovered 4.8 Million Jobs in June
June saw another record jump in employment, which is good news. But it is good news the same way that opening a dam lets the water take its natural course. The increase is a result of the government getting out of the way and the economy doing what it has wanted to do for months.
New Study “Surprised” CNN and Everyone Else on the Left – Hydroxychloroquine Helps COVID19 Patients Survive
We published our first article about Hydroxychloroquine on March 17th. Its use was showing favorable outcomes in patients with the new coronavirus. Nearly 30 pieces later, several studies, a media war against the drug because president Trump mentioned it, and “its use shows favorable outcomes in patients with the new coronavirus.”
Virus Socialism Update: Masks Have Become America’s Mao Suits
The mantra “We Need to Increase Testing™” was always about scaring people. The more “infections” you report, the easier it is to keep the economy down. And Democrats want the economy kept down. But they want something else even more.
NY Gov. Cuomo Issues Quarantine He Said, ‘Was Like Declaring War’ When Trump Mentioned It for New York
When New York was the world’s Hot Spot for COVID-19 infections, the President mentioned how some people wanted a two-week quarantine for parts of New York and New Jersey. Gov Cuomo had some not-so-kind things to say about that, but I guess he forgot them.
NH Received at Least $2.24 Million Per COVID19 Hospitalization – Where’d it All Go?
Last week we shared some data from Kaiser Health. In it, they reported how much states had received per COVID19 case (as of Mid-April). New Hampshire was pegged at 200,000 per incidence. But that struck me as the wrong way to look at it. The grave concern was hospitalizations, so what was the cost for that?
Quick Thought: Er, nope!
WELL, THAT MAKES SENSE: Older, more anxious people likely to stockpile toilet paper during a pandemic.
But as wrong as this:
69% Say Political Response to COVID-19 was an Unnecessary Overreaction
Our most recent poll asked a simple question. Was the Response to COVID-19 Justified or an Unnecessary Overreaction? Given what we know or even knew just a few weeks in our answer to that was yes, but we wanted to ask around and see if it was just us.
After Multiple Reopen Protests – No Spike in Infections or COVID19 Cases (So, ReopenNH, Dammit!)
It’s been over two months since ReopenNH held its first protest. At the time, the lockdown-left lost their minds. Not only were people peacefully protesting while openly displaying firearms, they were refusing to live in fear. No distancing, maskless, engaging with other human beings in conversation. The horror!
Higher Tax, Less Rehiring
With the pandemic driven business shutdowns, New Hampshire is expecting enough of a drop in Business Enterprise Tax (BET) to trigger a tax rate increase under a law passed a few years ago. The BET is a tax on having employees.
Sununu Caves on Beaches Day Before ReopenNH Rally to “Storm Them”
His Excellency, the Governor, will allow people to do more than just walk on New Hampshire’s beaches and swim in the ocean. An announcement this morning – expected, we had heard things – allows people to use the actual beach. Sit on it. Sunbathe. Be beachy with each other.
Climate Change (Meaning You) Are Ruining That Morning Cup of Coffee
Fake news about climate-crisis driven scarcity is not just common; it’s a 30-year pandemic. Coffee is no newcomer to that game. And since they’ve got you trapped at home, now is as good a time as any to lie to you some more. OMG! Global Warming threatens (another) coffee bean crisis!
Dear Governor Sununu – ENOUGH ALREADY
I understand NH’s governor was put into a position he didn’t ask to be put into. He was essentially between a rock and a hard place. Governor Sununu, like everyone else, was using the wildly inaccurate models pushed by the CDC and the feds to make decisions. I get it. There was no other information … Read more
Our Dress Rehearsal for a Police State
By Dennis Prager, writing on Town Hall
All my life, I have dismissed paranoids on the right (“America is headed to communism”) and the left (“It can happen here” — referring to fascism). It’s not that I’ve ever believed liberty was guaranteed. Being familiar with history and a pessimist regarding the human condition, I never believed that.
But the ease with which police state tactics have been employed and the equal ease with which most Americans have accepted them have been breathtaking.
People will argue that a temporary police state has been justified because of the allegedly unique threat to life posed by the new coronavirus. I do not believe the data will bear that out. Regardless, let us at least agree that we are closer to a police state than ever in American history.
Is a Rebellion Forming Against Governor Sununu From within His Own Party?
I saw the poll that Ed had commented on before (“Massive Majority in New Hampshire Support Authoritarian Government and Willing to Believe Anything Government/Press Tell Them“) and had basically thrown up my hands in horror.
ReOpenNH Concord Rally – MicroInterview with Marc Abear
Marc used to represent my district (Gilford / Meredith) in the NH House. Like all the others that I interviewed last Saturday, he had come to show his displeasure with how His Excellency (Gov Sununu) was handling this Kung Flu epidemic. Marc, I have come to know, is a well measured, careful, and insightful person … Read more
