“Old, Sick and Frail into the Lifeboats first”

June 2, 2020May 30, 2020

Most of us have seen the movie “Titanic.” The story starts off with a beautiful new ship, off on its maiden voyage, with everyone in a grand state of revelry. All is elegant and wonderful until the ship hits the iceberg. At that point, all the women and children are loaded into the lifeboats, and … Read more

Time for Bolduc, Mayberry, Messner and Mowers to Pick a Side.

May 28, 2020 Ed Mosca

Unless something changes drastically between now and Election Day, I plan on skipping right past the Governor’s race when I vote. If you have read my posts, you already know why … Sununu’s COVID policy. In brief, as I posted a little while ago, COVID … per the CDC, not per me … is less … Read more

We’re on a Frightening Path of Injustice

May 28, 2020 Op-Ed

Science and experience have demonstrated that governments worldwide overreacted to the COVID-19 threat and perpetuated misleading information to manipulate the public and consolidate power.

How Can New Hampshire Still Be In a “State of Emergency” When … Per CDC … COVID is LESS Dangerous than the Seasonal Flu?

May 28, 2020 Ed Mosca

Check out this chart: The death rate of the seasonal flu … per Fauci and the WHO …. is .1%. I could not find the death rate broken down by same age categories, but I did locate this: Which allows us to say that UNLESS YOU ARE at least 85 YEARS OLD, YOU HAVE A … Read more

So, What Does “Safe” Mean, Anyway?

June 10, 2020May 28, 2020 Burt Janz

We’ve heard a lot of talk about masks, social separation, constant washing of hands, etc. We’ve been told that these extra “protective measures” are needed “until it’s safe.”

Poll Question: Should Gov Sununu Extend the NH State of Emergency Another 21-Days?

May 28, 2020May 28, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Should Governor Sununu extend his State of Emergency for NH another 21 days? We don’t think so, but that’s just us. Not even all of us. A few Groksters think the Gov is doing us right. They are welcome to that opinion. You may agree or not, and we’re here to have that conversation.

New Hampshire’s Budget Deficit – Will it be $700 Million?

May 27, 2020

If you are watching the state budget you understand there is a lot of red ink. Revenues for March were off in the neighborhood of 15%. In April revenues were off more than 35%, actually closer to 40%. In May revenues will be off by about 20%.

Liberty and Freedom

May 23, 2020

Liberty and freedom are rare in human history. Human instinct is not to yearn for liberty. Rather, humans yearn to be taken care of.

Poll - Would you comply with mask mandate

New Poll Question: “Will You Comply with any State or Local Mandate to Wear a Mask in Public?”

May 23, 2020May 22, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Much ado about masks these days and around our humble shop. Pages and pages of news and opinion about this idiot or that. New Hampshire Democrats, mostly, engaged in mask warfare. Sowing fears to reap political rewards, but we’re having none of that here.

Wanted: Health Officer, Must Have People Skills, Apply, Town of Washington

May 22, 2020

It seems the Health Officer in the Town of Washington, NH, has been either relieved of his duties or resigned a day after trying to force the local store into compliance with an outdoor seating ordinance which does not exist.

Andy Volinsky is Such an Annoying #Maskhole

May 21, 2020 Ed Mosca

So #VolinskyAgenda went on a twitter-tirade today because Governor Chris “Cave” Sununu … in a rare moment of backbone … didn’t cave to Tyrion’s demand that he order everyone to “mask up”: Let’s focus on the second to last tweet: So “every scientist in the country” believes that if 80 percent of the population wore … Read more

A Simple, But Much Needed, Reform to New Hampshire’s Election Laws

May 20, 2020 Ed Mosca

New Hampshire primaries are much too long, while New Hampshire’s general elections are much too short. That’s great if you are an incumbent. For example, Jeanne Shaheen gets to watch Don Bolduc and Corky Messner beat the crap out of each other for one full year … Bolduc announced in July, 2019, while Messner announced … Read more

603 Alliance Editorial: It’s Time to Reopen New Hampshire

May 20, 2020 Jim Kofalt

[The following editorial is presented on behalf of the 603 Alliance Board of Directors.]

New Hampshire’s “stay at home order” was issued on March 16^th. Over two months later, we continue to face serious restrictions that limit our ability to earn a living, that restrain our freedom of assembly, and that restrict our right to worship as we see fit.

Has the Government “Blowed-Up” Your NH Job or Business? We want to Know

May 20, 2020 Steve MacDonald

John Klar at American Thinker is thinking about the death knell for thousands of jobs in Vermont. COVID-19 may have killed 55 people (if that’s what killed them), but many thousands of livelihoods are on the line in the Green Mountain State, which got me thinking. Is anyone keeping track of the Granite State?

Data Point – COVID-19 Adult Testing and Rolling Positive Average

May 19, 2020 Skip

Notice the two weeks of increased testing: the curve has been broken. Past performance is no harbinger of the future but it looks like that the first goalpost has been met. Nice to see that the increased testing has not gone hand in hand with a large number of positive testing. It is increasingly clear … Read more

Shaheen Refuses to Fix US Postal Service Which Raises Your Taxes

May 16, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Senator Jeanne Shaheen sent out a letter this week which begs rebuttal. “I wanted to take a moment to update you on my work to protect the U.S. Postal Service,” she says. This is a problem. It has been a problem as long as Senator Shaheen has been a Senator from New Hampshire.

Wisconsin Supreme Court Strikes Down Stay-at-Home Order over Fines and Jail Time

May 14, 2020May 14, 2020 Steve MacDonald

The State of Wisconsin appears to give a wide berth to the rulemaking authority of its Department of Health Services (DHS). But the State Supreme Court has just decided that they overstepped their bounds with Emergency Order 28 (EO28).

GrokPOLL: Would You Support a Republican Primary Challenger to NH Gov. Chris Sununu?”

May 12, 2020 Steve MacDonald

The grassroots in New Hampshire is boiling up and over about the lockdown. People I would have never expected are open to supporting a Republican challenger. So, it made sense to ask the question in our latest poll.

Small Business Sues Sununu Over Lockdown

May 12, 2020 Ed Mosca

A Hair Salon in Bedford has sued Governor Sununu over his unscientific, arbitrary and capricious “flex” opening of the New Hampshire economy. Some highlights: I think the lawsuit comes at it the wrong way. More specifically, the Hair Salon does not challenge the Governor’s statutory “emergency powers,” but rather challenges the manner in which he … Read more

Hey, New Hampshire, Do you want two more months of lockdown?

November 19, 2024May 9, 2020 Andrew Manuse

Thank you to everyone who showed up at our Rally to Live Free last Saturday, May 2. We had a great event, with at least 500 people delivering the 5,300 petitions we signed to the governor. Unfortunately, the governor isn’t listening yet. We will need to keep up the pressure, and in fact, we will need to turn it up a notch, or ten.
