Remember when the NIH, CDC, WHO, and all the rest used to remind us about how cloth face masks couldn’t protect you from a virus? The experts were so adamant that back in 2003, you could get fined for claiming otherwise.

ICYMI – Keene Ordinance Will Fine YOU up to $250.00 for Ignoring Their New Mask Mandate
Beginning tomorrow, anyone indoors in Keene, New Hampshire, without a facemask (excluding a sliver of exceptions) could be cited by local law enforcement. They won’t cite the business or property owner. They will cite you, and repeat offenders will be fined.
Companies Consider Charging Unvaccinated Employees a Monthly COVID Fine
Here’s an idea whose time has come. Private businesses charging employees for the privilege of working for them. Who thinks this is a bad idea in a political climate willing to pay people to stay home?
Derry, Derry, Quite Contrary, Mask-Mandate Fines, Yes or No?
The Town of Derry, New Hampshire, that bustling little-berg, is grappling with the problem of our age. The COVID Age. Can or should we milk people’s pockets over that State-wide mask mandate thing?
In the Name of Public Health NH Will Search Private Property Without a Warrant
Chris Sununu’s very real Emergency Order 65 (not to be confused with Order 66 – Kill all the Jedi) fulfills the promise of allowing public health to trump all else. EO 65 permits a search of (public or) private property without a warrant.
Because Nothing Says “Science” Like Threatening to Jail Anyone Who Challenges Your Theory
It’s time for another episode of jail the climate deniers. This time our contestants are three “professors” at the University of Exeter, and they are concerned about the “spread of spurious information. This circulates online and frequently ends up being discussed in established media or by people in the public eye.”
“Some rob you with a gun, while others rob you with a pen – We ain’t paying crap.”
Civil Disobedience – it’s always a “thing” with the Left. Don’t like something, especially when a Republican is in charge? Demonstrate, protest, break the law – usually for some type of Left-wing mantra that will leave the rest of us poorer, take freedoms away, or lower our standard of living.
Jan Schmidt – There is No Fine, and Nobody Will get Fined if they Just Wear the Blasted Mask
Jan Schmidt’s Social Media mumblings are the gift that keeps on giving. For example, Nashua instituted an ordinance as an emergency order (text and links here). It requires anyone going into buildings (offices, etc.) in the City to wear a mask over their nose and mouth. Jan says there is no fine, but then she says there is.

Waste-to-energy is the solution to the trash problem
Regarding the recycling center in Gilford, this whole project has been a boondoggle of the highest degree. As the entire recycling industry crashes and burns, Gilford dives in headfirst … to an EMPTY pool. Once again, government is a day late and a dollar short in providing a “solution” to a “problem” that doesn’t exist, … Read more
New Jersey’s Official Twitter is, well… New Jersey
New Jersey is the last, and only, state in the Country where its citizens are not allowed to pump their own gas. That’s likely one of the lowest priority problems they have, but still it begs many questions. The official Government of New Jersey Twitter account, or whoever runs it, is.. well.. Imagine living in … Read more
Drug Regulation
Rarely are congressional hearings due to a problem coming full circle. But recently Senator Grassley dragged executives from seven top pharmaceutical companies before a Senate Finance Committee hearing. Ostensibly he was trying to clear the “secrecy” behind how companies set prices. Lawmakers frequently call for increased transparency and legislative oversight of healthcare and especially pharmaceuticals. … Read more
Ask New Hampshire Democrats About Fines For The Most Vulnerable
Effective October 1st, 2012 (that means it started last week folks)… Hospitals who re-admit patients within 30 days after they were discharged will now have to, under an Obamacare provision, pay fines as of October 1, 2012, which could force hospitals to slash programs that help the elderly, the poor, and the chronically ill. According … Read more
GrokTV Special Interview-NH State Senator Andy Sanborn (District 9) – Question 4: Administrative based taxes: have all taxes, fees, and fines set by the Legislature?
Increasingly, we see NH State Agencies setting their own level of taxation (fees, fines, et al) outside of authorization of the Legislature. It is the Executive Branch to self-fund and making itself independent of the taxation authority of the Legislature. And of course, it goes without saying that while Legislators are accountable to the voters, … Read more
How About A Donation Comrade?
…or why we might want to NH HB 1534.
HB 1534 reminds us of one of those ingredients in the sausage of government that we know are going to be bad for us. Somehow the New Hampshire Department of labor was allowed to collect fines into a restricted fund that is then used to fund the Department of Labor. Need more revenue, collect more fines. What could go wrong?
I don’t know…a bunch of bureaucrats, looking to pad their own budget, free to fine whomever they please… no worries. Just make a “donation” to the Department of labor Budget expansion fund, and you’ll be in the clear comrade. We won’t come back for another month. Or, do we have to fine you for something now…?
