NH Medical Examiner Is Quitting His Job Because bad Opioid Policy is Killing so Many

Posted on October 11, 2017 by Steve Mac Donald

In the six years since the federal government asked pharmaceutical companies to reformulate prescription opioids so patients couldn’t use them illicitly, Thomas Andrew, the chief medical examiner of New Hampshire, has seen his caseload skyrocket.

“It’s almost as if the Visigoths are at the gates, and the gates are starting to crumble,” Andrew told The New York Times‘ Katharine Seelye. “I’m not an alarmist by nature, but this is not overhyped. It has completely overwhelmed us.” |Read more at Reason.com

Ed Naile: Twelve Lousy Things To Remember – And They Forgot The Most Important One

Posted on October 11, 2017 by Steve Mac Donald

Let me take the Alinsky crowd to school.

  1. You are not going to disarm the American public. Every time you try and use a shooting – except in Chicago because you won there, as a wedge issue, the Second Amendment gets stronger. That is why the infantile demand for the elimination of the Second Amendment is your last, desperate, Hail Mary pass.
  2. Trump just tackled the NFL; they look like idiot children wearing mismatched socks.| More at GraniteGrok…

ON NOVEMBER 4, 2017:
We will gather in the streets and public squares of cities and towns across this country, at first many thousands declaring that this whole regime is illegitimate and that we will not stop until our single demand is met: This Nightmare Must End: the Trump/Pence Regime Must Go! | More at GraniteGrok

Posted on October 10, 2017 by Steve Mac Donald
GET RID OF THOSE GUNS!

The Epidemic of Guns is once again on the front burner in the Wake of the recent Las Vegas Tragedy. Epidemic…”Their words, NOT MINE.

Posted on October 10, 2017 by Steve Mac Donald

One of the things you hear before moving to New Hampshire is that, in many cases, the locals are as passionate about peaceful solutions to the world’s problems as the liberty activists are. I found this hard to believe until I actually moved here, but recent events reminded me just how true it is. |More at Free Keene

Would You Support Local Rooms and Meals Taxes in New Hampshire?

Posted on October 10, 2017 by Steve Mac Donald

New Hampshire’s abundance of seaside beaches, lakes, and mountain resorts helps make tourism the state’s second-largest industry. While this influx of travelers is a boon to local businesses, it can strain municipal resources – like police and ambulances– during peak seasons. Some believe the answer is to allow towns to collect a local rooms and meals tax to help offset the cost of these extra services. |More…
