Mask Mandates Are The Emerging “Imminent Threat and Menace to Public Health”

October 15, 2024October 15, 2024 Steve MacDonald

If you are thinking about pursuing healthcare jobs in California, you will need a high tolerance for rules, regulations, car theft, taxes, sidewalk poop, tyrannical bureaucracies, the homeless, crime, discarded needles, and screeching liberal harpies. Oh, and hunger-like affection for carcinogens, hypoxia, and microplastics. Public Health officials in several Left-Coast counties have reinstituted mask mandate, … Read more

Cross Referencing Naughty Lists

October 15, 2024October 12, 2024 Julie Smith

The legislative season officially ended yesterday with Veto Day. While the Damn Emperor most unfortunately signed HB 1002 (aka the RTK Tax) on June 14, I’m here to take a look at which of the 88 bad actors displaying the R also stayed rogue for HB 1093 (school mask policy) and HB 396 (women’s safe … Read more

Another Example of Sununu’s Self-Serving Use Of “Local Control” – Masking School Kids

July 7, 2024 Ed Mosca

Even Fauci has admitted that there was no science behind the forced masking of schoolchildren. But Sun-King Sununu can never admit a mistake. So, of course, he had to veto a bill prohibiting the practice. The Sun-King’s veto message … followed by some comments.

Bill Limiting Power of Local Public Health Officials Heads to Governor’s Desk

May 10, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Last week, a bill that would limit the power of local public health officials to impose mask mandates lost by one vote – one Republican vote. The legislation was tabled, often a death knell, but that one lousy vote meant Merrimack (Town, not County) Rep. Bill Boyd could ask for a vote to pull it off the table.

State Rep Shows Up Late and Masked for Expert Testimony on Why Masks Don’t Work

April 2, 2024April 2, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Industrial Hygienist Stephen Petty has decades of experience protecting people from hazards, so when he tells you masks can’t stop a virus, that’s an expert scientific fact. And still, some do not believe.

When Is Chuck Morse Going To Pat Some Cats? (And Other Important Questions)

February 23, 2024February 23, 2024 Julie Smith

Readers might be thinking they’re going to read some light-hearted content that’s void of mentioning Chuck’s 11/19/21 crime against NH, but not so fast! Here’s the link with a short video.

Is Masking the Public for the Good of Public Health Doomed Policy?

December 3, 2023 Steve MacDonald

On the heels of research that reported a 40% increase in COVID infections among regular mask users, the public masking menace has taken another shot to the McNuggets. This time, from a past that reinforces what we’re seeing now. Masks make matters worse.

Let’s Poke Fun at People Wearing Masks …

September 24, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Yesterday’s preschool apprentice was a riot, and we’ve got more funny for you today – this time tinged with a bit of irony. A parody on mandatory masking, which – as we get closer to 2024 – could be coming soon to a fearmongering community near you (conspiracy theory!).

Uber Liberal Tim Robbins Red-Pills Himself Over COVID Response – Regrets Blindly Following Mandates

December 21, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Tim Robbins is a fine actor, but as with most folks who live or work in that world, he has been a reliable progressive mouthpiece. Environment begets and all that, maybe as a survival instinct until it becomes who you are. But sometimes, there’s a spark, and you ask questions outside the approved narrative.

Mask Mandates Are Back! Are They Coming Soon to a School District Near You?

December 19, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Big city school superintendents are scratching their totalitarian itch. “Public school students in Philadelphia will have to wear face coverings at school for 10 days after their winter break, officials said.”

September 29, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Your local experience may vary on this point. My Eye Doc, for example, is still high on masking, but the CDC has announced that it no longer recommends universal masking of Health Care Workers.

Maybe in Future Years, Pride Month Can Also Be Monkeypox Awareness Month.

June 8, 2022 Steve MacDonald

I’ve heard it alleged that Monkeypox traveled north in animal reservoirs due to man-made climate change. And that’s partly true. The first case was found in the UK on May 7th in a “man” (an animal) who had returned (via man-made travel) from Nigeria (where Monkeypox is not uncommon).

New Study: Pediatric Masking (School Mask Mandates) Had No Effect on Number of COVID Cases

June 3, 2022 Steve MacDonald

A long time ago, in a reality far, far away, the CDC, NIH, and others knew that mass masking couldn’t reduce viral spread. They also knew masking had downsides. But the mask became a symbol of compliance and they ignored their own research. They even invented some to justify masks. But that’s falling apart, again.

NH Governor Chris Sununu Whacks the First Amendment and Takes All His Credibility With It

May 31, 2022 Beth Scaer

When I discovered Friday morning that NH Governor Chris Sununu had HB1625, the Sidewalk Free Speech Act on his desk I knew that he would veto or sign the bill that afternoon, right before the long holiday weekend hoping no one would notice. But I wasn’t going to let it pass unnoticed.
