Biden’s mental state appears to vacillate between confusion and belligerence. His mental faculties are front and center. The status of the Presidential debates is now in question. Why would any presidential candidate duck free air time unless he had something to hide?

What’s the Final Word on the Fake Vermont COVID19 Spike That Never Was…

July 28, 2020July 28, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Manchester Vermont thought it had become a COVID19 hot spot. The areas went into crisis mode, but the problem was not a coronavirus outbreak; it was a crappy CDC test outbreak. By the time the dust settled, nearly all the positive tests were negative.

Homo Marxian Marxism Declared goals of communism

Albuquerque, New Mexico Embraces Declared Goal of Communism In America (#38)

June 17, 2020 Steve MacDonald

One of the 45 goals of communism in America is to “transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].” Albuquerque, New Mexico just did that.

Why Fishing Can Benefit the Mind and Body in Tough Times

There is no question; current events will have taxed the most resilient of individuals, no matter what their age. Even with some restrictions lifting, it can be stressful wondering how best to cope with getting back out there while staying healthy and safe in New Hampshire. One of the best ways is through fishing. While … Read more

Guns, Libs, and Truth Bombs

May 2, 2020 Steve MacDonald

I’ve said this before but probably not recently. It relates to one of the primary reasons why Democrats hate private gun ownership. Or, at least my armchair psychology opinion on the matter. A theory based on years of observations.

Op-Ed – I Implore you, Governor Sununu, OPEN NH!

April 30, 2020 Op-Ed

Two nights ago I walked into my bedroom to find my 16-year-old daughter sitting cross-legged, hunched over on my bed, tears running down her pale face, sobs coming out of her mouth. She doesn’t want to go on with school work, communicating, or with life in general.

Dr. Michael Laidlaw – Gender Transition Therapy is Giving Children a Disease

October 22, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Another medical expert has come out publicly to claim that hormone therapies to transition children are child abuse. Dr. Michael Laidlaw, an endocrinologist in Rocklin, California, says the development blockers given to children are “actually causing a disease.”

The Reckless and Irresponsible Treatment of Patients who Claim to be Transgender

September 18, 2019 Steve MacDonald

A prominent doctor with Johns Hopkins Medical is sounding an alarm about the current trend in medicine toward knee-jerk acceptance of the diagnosis of transgenderism. He calls it an experiment “on young people without telling them it’s an experiment.”

Of Harpies and Hoplophobes

June 24, 2019June 23, 2019 Rick Olson

The Bloomberg Harpies and Hoplophobes are at it again. “Ravenous Gun Culture?” Who in the heck thought that descriptor up? [insert laughy faces here…three]. That descriptor is the best I have seen all year! Merriam Webster defines, “Ravenous,” as,” extremely hungry, assuming one is talking about food. I don’t think that is accurate.

Is Confusing Your Kids About Gender a Form of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy?

August 11, 2022June 13, 2019 Steve MacDonald

A parent or guardian foments or perpetuates a condition in a child. They then feed off the supposed psychological benefits of the public act of care, treatment, or even acceptance of that condition. It is regarded as both a mental health issue and a form of child abuse.

Red Flag

April 23, 2019April 22, 2019

Editor Note: much of this post is pulled from a Daily Signal article. The link is now provided and the content from that post is now offset to show its origin. New Hampshire has a “Red Flag” bill in the legislature. The question is whether there is such a thing as correct focus on the … Read more

Is Mental Health an Issue for Democrats? State Senator Jon Morgan’s Mental Health Is!

April 13, 2019 Steve MacDonald

I think we can all agree that Mental Health is an issue for Democrats. They’d like you to believe they are the party of Mental Health. Again, I’m not inclined to disagree. But if we’re talking about actually helping others with mental health issues, that’s not on the menu.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio Attracts a Crowd of Six People in New Hampshire

May 4, 2019March 18, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Bill de Blasio was in New Hampshire Sunday for a panel discussion on mental health. Twenty people showed up. Fourteen of the twenty were on the panel. That means only six people showed up — one for each reporter who appeared to document the dismal showing.

What is the Superintendent in Laconia Hiding?

December 29, 2018December 29, 2018 Ann Marie Banfield

I’ve been searching for information on the mental health data collected and shared on students in the Laconia School District. Accessing this information has become challenging, given the responses by the current Superintendent in the district, Brendan Minnihan. One thing is clear from the information that has been provided, mental health data on the students is … Read more

Concerns About The 10-Year Mental Health Plan For New Hampshire

October 3, 2018October 2, 2018 Ann Marie Banfield

Last night I attended a meeting in Portsmouth with the New Hampshire Commissioner of Health and Human Services on the state’s 10-Year Mental Health Plan. It was clear from the comments at the end of the presentation, from parents and other attendees dealing with serious mental health issues, that this issue is raising concerns throughout New Hampshire. … Read more

The Left’s One-Trick Donkey – Gun Control!

July 15, 2024February 20, 2018 Steve MacDonald

Kimberly Morin is back to talk about how the predictable rantings of liberal hoplophobes and their obsession with a dangerous political agenda make a serious conversation about mental health and violence impossible. You can find the original blog post here.

Tossing the Elderly Under the Bus

July 15, 2024February 5, 2015 Steve MacDonald

We are reaping the “benefits” of expanding Medicaid as “unexpected” cost overruns just a few months in require $58 Million in cuts to the Health and Human Services Budget. The Democrat governor is cutting funding to nursing homes and mental health patients and the Democrat party is calling these cuts ‘Responsible.’

Mental Health Issues – Taxing Up The Wrong Tree

October 6, 2022February 19, 2013 Steve MacDonald

Skip already gave a run-down on HB 499 and how it could suggest that gun buyers report all sales to the Department of Health and (in)Human Services and pay a fee on every sale.

NH Democrat Ken Gidge wants gun owners to pay for the mental health system? HB499

September 26, 2018February 18, 2013 Skip

[Art.] 2-a. [The Bearing of Arms.] All persons have the right to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves, their families, their property and the state.

Yet another bill on the Gun Control system. Gidge must think that he’s got a winner here – if the mentally ill are the ones using guns to carry out these mass killings, then let the gun owners here in NH pay for mental illness care when they buy their hated, dastardly toys, right? Yet, he doesn’t even have the political courage to put his intent into the title of his bill ( like “An Act to force those bitter gun schmucks to pay for new hospital beds“). His goal – PUNISH a class of people within NH that happen to love and love to exercise their Second Amendment Rights by making it more expensive for gun owners (and NEW gun owners) to do their hobby or profession.

Next hearing is tomorrow at 3:15pm at the Legislative Office Building (LOB) Rm 205.

As the Un-Aborted Celebrate Forty Years Of Aborting…

September 26, 2018January 24, 2013 Steve MacDonald

I have already observed, on several occasions, the professional lefts efforts to perpetrate a prevailing media narrative about the sorry state of higher education, the “crumbling” mental health apparatus and our inadequately funded alcohol awareness and treatment programs. They are doing this to fertilize the budgetary soil for the necessary tax and spending increases required to (they would argue) help alleviate the growing injustice of under-educated, alcohol abusers, with a side order of mental health issues, that only an increase in state-managed taxpayer dollars can possibly resolve.

Well I am here to help. With one wave of my blogging wand I will “educate” the people on how we can reduce the prevalence of “mental health issues” and “alcohol abuse” in the Granite State (or anywhere), without more spending or taxes, all the while mocking the motley cabal of un-aborted, specula-wielding, would-be-tax-increasing left-wing harpies and their policy-cuckolded camp followers, who have been celebrating four decades of “legally” clawing defenseless unborn children out of women’s wombs.
