If You are That Scared Stay Home – We Can Run the World Without You
Nothing says police state quite like neighbors or customers snitching to the local constabulary about this or that perceived slight. In the age of COVID, this manifests as a failure to adequately mask or distance or some other fear-mongered incidentals such as OCD-like purification rituals improperly performed.
DISQUS Doodlings – Kudos to the 47 Republican Reps that Refused to be Assimilated by the Democrats
Once again, New Hampshire Democrats try their hand at “Freedom Shaming” against those resolutely refusing to be assimilated by the Ray Buckley Borg (a Star Trek reference for the uninitiated).
The Collective Pushes NH Republican Dan Innis Out Over Opposition to Portsmouth Mask Mandate
Many towns and cities in New Hampshire are passing mandatory mask ordinances. Some include soul-crushing penalties of up to $1,000. This is a modern equivalent of “Ver are your papers, please?” where the question mark is really an exclamation point over a mask.
Kicking Dead “Donkeys” That Aren’t Quite Dead Yet (Again, and Again…)
If you’ve ventured out your front door, with or without a by-your-leave from one of America’s “Regional Governors” to quote GrandMoff Tarkin, you may have noticed some strange behavior amongst the peasantry.
Mask Math is Hard – It’s Harder for Sheep
Facebook loves us when we talk about this. Masking. Wearing a medical face mask. We think you should be free to choose what to believe and if and when to wear a mask in public. Like a seatbelt. That also presumes the right not to wear one. But as we all know, rights are frequently infringed.
What if a Medical Mask Was Found Trapped in the Nostril of a Sea Turtle?
In the Left’s neo-postmodern world, objective reality is subjective. Priorities rise and fall the way a honeybee hops blooms. What mattered yesterday is irrelevant today but might be an inalienable human right tomorrow.
Compliance Is Not Part of the U.S. Constitution
Did you know compliance is not part of the U.S. Constitution? Your government was the cause of closing down public schools. They did it for the children. Now your government is “restructuring” school. It is moving forward under the guise of “public safety.”
“Anyone found wearing a face mask without need will be fined.”
In what may be the first order of its kind, a mayor whose city has no reported coronavirus cases has ordered people not to wear masks.
Buried in the CDC Guidance – Yeah, Masks are Useless for Preventing Infection
We’ve covered this ground so often it’s packed hard, and not much else will grow there. We’ve quoted doctors, cited peer-reviewed research, but the narrative runs contrary to the truth, so it becomes the truth. Just ask Facebook. Well, I wonder what they’ll think of this from the CDC’s own guidance.
Without a Mask Mandate, N.H.’s COVID-19 Cases Fell Sharply this Summer
For months, Democratic gubernatorial candidates Dan Feltes and Andru Volinsky have criticized Gov. Chris Sununu for not issuing an emergency order mandating that people wear face masks.
Maskless political protests – well over 100 people at events in Concord and Keene
I received the following from a reader reporting from the Keene maskless rally. I also had reports coming to me from the ReOpen maskless rally as well. In all of the reports, I noticed something VERY absent. It went well.The guy who organized it, the guy from Plymouth, he said he put about 5 minutes … Read more
BlogLine of the Day – just like if you ban us from carrying in your business…
From Mike Remski – loyal reader: “You REQUIRE me to wear a mask, then you are assuming all liability, yes? Just like Gun-Free Zones assume all liability for my safety?” (Image H/T: Liberal Conservative)
Biden Promised Us a Federal Mask Mandate – Would it Stand up In Court?
As pointless masking orders become all the rage Joe Biden says he’d make us do it. Mask us. All of us. Presumably, with his phone and a pen, but depending on the outcome in November, perhaps via Congress. Does either have a leg on which to stand?
The Future of Stupid is here! Masks Mandated During Online Zoom Meetings
You are a state employee, home by yourself, working remotely. You check the clock, and it’s time for another one of those f***ing Zoom Meetings. Wait, don’t forget to wear a mask. Yes, this state has mandated that all government employees mask up at home for online meetings.
Sununu Caves – NH Gov. Issues Large-Gathering Mask Mandate
Well, so much for Live Free and Die (again). This time Gov. Sununu’s DHHS Rasputin has convinced him that what we need is a mask Mandate. So, any scheduled gathering over 100 people will require everyone to be masked.
Dentist Warns Too Much Mask-Wearing Can Lead to Harmful ‘Mask Mouth’
We’ve covered some of the more predictable issues with obsessive mask-wearing (see also, compliance). Rebreathing your CO2. Sucking up dust, germs, crap (and viruses ) your lungs just exhaled. Hypoxia! But we’ve missed this angle. “Dentist Warns Too Much Mask-Wearing Can Lead to Harmful ‘Mask Mouth.’”
Top Health Officials in Europe: “Masks Aren’t Helpful in Beating COVID-19”
Democrats love Europe except when they don’t. This might be one of those times. “Face masks in public places are not necessary, based on all the current evidence,” said Coen Berends, spokesman for the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment.” – “There is no benefit, and there may even be negative impact.”
Hanover Imposes Fines If You Expose Your Face in Public (Keene Also Passes Masking Ordinance)
We saw this coming when we reported on Durham’s demand that people conceal their faces in public places. Hanover, another College town (Dartmouth), has passed a face mask mandate. People snitched on by triggered locals will get a stern talking too (and Hanover has plenty of those). Multiple offenders will get fined.
