This Constant State of Fear is a Bigger Threat to Public Health than COVID19
The thing about moving the goalposts is it only works if you let it. Sadly, a majority of people are letting them. We have transitioned from flattening the curve (lowering hospitalizations and deaths) to pimping reported infections. A state of fear that is a greater threat to public health than COVID19.
Gun Ownership Surges Among Black Americans
This is good news for liberty and the second amendment. The National African American Gun Association (NAAGA) says it is adding 2000 new members a day as black Americans embrace their need and their right to defend themselves.
I Think We Flattened That Curve
Looking at the CDC’s provisional weekly COVID death statistics (through July 4, 2020), what part of this graph tells you that we need to still be 1) wearing masks, 2) worried about sending kids back to school, 3) shutting down ANY part of ANY business or 4) listening to the media (ratings) and politicians (control, … Read more
Higher Tax, Less Rehiring
With the pandemic driven business shutdowns, New Hampshire is expecting enough of a drop in Business Enterprise Tax (BET) to trigger a tax rate increase under a law passed a few years ago. The BET is a tax on having employees.
If Democrats are Concerned About Election interference, where’s the outrage?
China’s state-run media targeting is messing with domestic American politics. They are attacking congressional Republicans. Now, if the Democrats are honestly concerned about election interference; where’s the outrage?
Power Creep and Pandemic Politics
Power-creep through states of emergency declarations is a problem. The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered many largely unprecedented government actions. These are actions by which officials at all levels grasp for temporary powers. The result is some potentially explosive pandemic politics.
Beta Male Brian Stelter (D-CNN) Cries, Probably for Attention – Maybe Over His Abject Failures
CNN lies a lot, so odds are good this is total rubbish, but Brian Stelter took to the anti-social media the other day to overshare. He said he had cried. Based on how he has been behaving these last few years I’d think that less the exception and more the norm. But this ‘Cry’ had a more specific purpose.
Decision Making in Times of Uncertainty
Decision making in times of uncertainty is difficult for us all. Speaker Pelosi has no such decision making difficulty. She has just decided to announce a new committee. Its purpose is to attack President Trump. The pandemic hasn’t passed yet and already the attacks begin.
If Congress Wants to Investigate Something Related to Delays In “Our Response” it Can Start with Itself
As we wade through the “world that cried wolf” dumpster fire called COVID-19, partisans on the left see it as another opportunity to smear the President. I’m sure Mr. Trump is thinking ‘Bring It.’ Because the government is to blame but not in the way Democrat’s imagine.

The United States was ranked as the best-prepared country for a pandemic in late 2019 by a Johns Hopkins study.
OPINION: Needless Regulations hurt Health Care
ACROSS the country, state leaders have raised the alarm over the lack of enough beds should the COVID-19 pandemic create a surge in serious and critical cases. They are concerned that they simply won’t have enough hospital beds to care for ill patients and are taking drastic steps to “flatten the curve” – spreading out … Read more
America has had its first-ever bond auction where there were no buyers…
You can pay me now or you will pay me later. That’s what your mechanic will tell you when you bring your car in. We pay for the maintenance now or we pay for the repairs later. But we are going to pay. The question is only how much and when. Is increasing national debt a good idea? And if so, how much is too much?
