What if you could wave a magic wand (or write a memo) and have a nonexistent government mandate enforced by fearful private sector factions? You get what you want without having to expend any actual political capital, and no one can sue you over it because no existing law or rule exists.
Health Care
In the Interest of Public Health Governors and Legislatures Need to Ban Mandatory Vaccination
I’m not a big fan of mandates, but the time has come to support one. Every state legislature and governor needs to step up and protect public health by prohibiting vaccine mandates anywhere in their states.
Quick Takes – A Hat Trick + One
1. Shortages.
I was at the grocery store and I overheard three of the senior people – decades of experience – talking about how it’s harder to get items to stock on the shelves. I mentioned that to some of the stock clerks whom I have gotten to know and they concur: they’re having to get creative to keep shelves visually full.
The Jab or Your Job? Meet the NH Healthcare Workers Coalition

AFP-NH Puts a Focus on 10 Key Legislative Priorities for 2021
Last week American’s for Prosperity New Hampshire published a list of legislative priorities for the Granite State in 2021. They’ve put a much-needed focus on ten pieces of legislation covering Education, Licensing, Free Speech, Asset Forfeiture, Health Care, and (believe it or not) Climate Change (sort of).
Our Strength Comes From Our Belief in and Our Shared Love of Freedom
It has been a deadly year for freedom. There was a political virus and our political system imposed a crushing economic shutdown. We had riots in cities around the country, and an election less than half of us think reflects our votes. We hope we have found a bottom and are turning the corner.
CDC: Nearly 3% of COVID19 Vaccine Recipients on Dec 18th Required Medical Attention After Injection
Life is about tradeoffs. Politicians have traded your natural rights for fearmongering, job destruction, and public-health fascism. Covidism. The belief that declaring a public health emergency gives the state the power to do whatever it wants.
Larger is the New Smaller
Suppose some people come to your home and tell you that, since you have too much money, and they don’t have enough, you have to give them some of yours; and if you don’t, they’ll hurt you. If they do this regularly, they don’t even need to continue with the threats, since the ongoing threat is implied.
Two Wrongs Don’t Make a Right to Health Care
The major objection that Democrats seem to have about the prospect that Amy Coney Barrett will fill the vacant seat on the Supreme Court is that she might be open to overturning the Affordable Care Act (ACA, also known as Obamacare) on constitutional grounds.
Facebook Doodlings – That’s Not How It Works, That’s Not How Any of That Works. Especially Socialism
This is fairly quick – a comment left on our FB page in response to Rick Notkin’s post “Take Close Look at ‘Socialized’ Medicine and See if That’s What You Want.” She has NO idea what she’s talking about.
Governor Sununu, Don’t Pass HB 685 To Find Out What’s In It
As the legislature wraps up in Concord, Governor Sununu contemplates whether to veto HB 685, a bill that started its life as an innocuous ambulance billing provision and morphed into a policy that would shutter faith-based employers and lead to years of litigation.
Trump Administration Joins Governors and Asks Court to Put ObamaCare Out to Pasture
The timing seems a bit odd. With “health care” a central focus and the herd refusing to embrace an immunity to virus socialism, Team Trump is all in on dumping Obama’s signature insurance nightmare. The Incremental Socialization of American Medicine Act, or ObamaCare. Trump wants it gone. Promised us, he did.
Op-Ed: Those at Risk Should Take Caution, As for The Other 98% of the Population…
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.
ACLU-NH Celebrates Letting Human Beings Die Because it is Politically Convenient
The ACLU of New Hampshire used to be good for something. Free Speech. That was about it. And then they threw their lot in on preferred pronouns. Compelled Speech. What’s next? How about being born alive no longer entitles you to civil liberties?
Schumer is Threatening Republican-Appointed Justices Over a Law Written by a Democrat
Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer is threatening Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh over a Louisiana law requires doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at a local hospital. What he’s not telling you is that the law was written by Democrat State Senator Katrina Jackson.
Medicaid Experiment Continues to Blow Holes in State Budget
Vermont is very progressive. Bernie is after all their US Senator (can anyone name the other one?) The state fully embraced Obamacare, the exchanges, Medicaid Expansion, and developed its own oversight provider network. And it loses gobs of money every year.
Abortion: The Question is Not When Life Begins, But Why Democrats Want to End It?
The argument that abortion is acceptable because we don’t know when life begins is absurd. Absent conception human life is an impossibility. After conception, it continues until it is interrupted. Abortion is an interruption.
Is Elizabeth Warren’s Strength her Biggest Weakness? And Can It take The Democrat Party Down with Her
Even if you hate the New England Patriots, they do one thing well. Each week they focus on neutralizing their opponent’s biggest strength. Liz Warren thinks her biggest strength is planning. She has plans. But could it also be her biggest weakness?
AOC – Take Control of Your Life…By Giving Government Control of Everything
It doesn’t get much more communist than this — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reading scripture and verse, or close enough, from the Soviet Indoctrination Guidebook. To be truly free you must let the government take over everything.
The Wisdom of Harry Reid?
Former Democrat Senate leader Harry Ried, who lost a battle with an “exercise Band” that then convinced him to retire from politics, has some advice for Democrats running for things, like the office of President.
