October 26, 2020 Skip

Covid’s Risks My always wise friend and sometime co-author Lyle Albaugh has from the start understood that Covid, while certainly no nothingburger, is not remotely close to being the extraordinary monster that it has become in the popular mind.

When Military R&D Projects Find Their Way Into the Private Commercial Sphere

October 22, 2020 Skip

I’ve never understood, or accepted, why “Government” needs to take the lead in any kind of R&D work with one notable exception: the Constitutional mandate that one of the Federal Government’s mandates is the defense of the country.

Data Point – Map of BLM and Antifa Protests and Riots Across the US

September 10, 2020September 10, 2020 Skip

USA Today has that as an interactive map that has incidents of actual peaceful protests (like those, pretty much, here in NH). However, as we all know, many (if not most) degenerated into Marxist believing mobs with “Death to America” (Hey are we in Iran!).

Data Point – The Left pulls its hair out (Trump back up to 52% favorable poll number)

September 6, 2020 Skip

Yep, with ALL of the mud against the wall that the Left has been throwing against the wall since the outcome of 2016 election became known – “RUSSIAGATE DIDN’T WORK, IMPEACHMENT DIDN’T WORK, CRASHING THE ECONOMY DIDN’T WORK.

Data Point – We Locked Down the Entire Country Because of 50 Counties???

August 30, 2020 Skip

Data Point – NH WuFlu Deaths versus “Normal” Deaths

July 25, 2020July 25, 2020 Skip

Death is normal – until the Second Coming (let’s see how many get THAT reference) and that isn’t going to change for any of us. Your death will happen just like Democrats will continue to raise your taxes (and sometimes you just wanna die over that fact).

Data Point – Granite Stater’s Less likely to Take Out Loans to Get By During ‘Pandemic’

July 18, 2020 Skip

Gun Sales: Thanks to BLM No One is Listening to the Civilian Disarmament Advocacy Groups

July 14, 2020 Skip

They pushed and pushed and SHOVED to make gun stores “non-essential” during the early part of the pandemic. But then the rush to purchase guns became so high that it looked like Obama was back and “selling guns” again.

Data Point – so V shaped Recovery it is!

July 1, 2020July 1, 2020 Skip

Data Point – US Daily Deaths, 7 Day Average (Wu Flu)
