Beautiful keepsake from Costa Rica, bought on the beach in Tamarindo: Guanacaste wood platter and bowl bought from Nestor, an immigrant from Nicaragua who got stuck in CR during c19. Paid $50 for the platter, which was probably a bit over, and after we had a “we don’t speak the same language but we both speak the universal language of common humanity” chat, he threw in the salsa bowl for “free”. I hope Nestor makes it back to his family for Christmas!
Be careful… if you think Granite Staters don’t support freedom, liberty, and the actual people working tirelessly to preserve and expand the liberties we find in the LFOD state… you’re… probably a… Democrat… who lost to a Free Stater.
1/2 A @NHDems laments her loss to "a self-described 'life-long libertarian activist' & affiliated with the @FreeStateNH. The FSP had been in the news… I figured that would be a strike against him… I will be watching… since I am now his constituent." #NHPolitics

Back from a quick break, Tammy and Carla discuss why eggs cost almost $5 per dozen and why, when you subsidize something, you get more of it… Also up, Elon’s expose of the truth behind the Hunter Biden laptop censorship story, and more!
Funny story: I used to have a podcast called Told You So until Covid hysteria killed it.
For those keeping score:
Lab leak = most likely now
Collusion between Big Gov & Big Tech on censorship = fact
Hunter Biden laptop (my first ban) = true
Censored for talking about Nuremberg Code & ethics of informed consent = fact
mRNA as experimental tech w/no real safety data = true
Masks don’t work = true
Fauci’s NIH paid EcoAlliance for offshore gain of function research = true
Definitions of words changed real time to obscure plain meaning of words/smear dissidents, e.g. “gain of function” became eppp; “anti-vax” now includes ppl who are “antimandate”; and “pandemic” changed to take out “serious illness” = true

Prediction: global universal travel pass and CBDC linked to a social score incoming.
We fight now or we submit. I don’t know about you but I’m not complying and I will do everything in my power to keep my fellow Granite Staters of the Free State of NH free! Join me: fsp.org
I ran across this on The Twit, and since I am doing most of this already, I thought to share. Enjoy adapting!

Lifetime achievement unlocked.
Although totally NOT how I imagined it going down.
Every writer who completed their MFAs with me at City College probably also fantasized about being in The New Yorker. THE NEW YORKER!!!
Which, this week, I am, but not as a fiction writer, but for my political and socioeconomic views. I know it sounds like hubris, but I am in New Hampshire for a reason: To save one spot on Earth for individual liberty, property rights, and the freedom to be yourself. Live free or die! Those are the stakes.
So, sometimes when you are trying to get radical ideas across, you end up sounding… well, a bit bonkers, like this. But still, look Pa & Ma, The New Yorker called me “cheerful and energetic”!
On the plus side, the Free State Project gets ink and this means new people will learn about how great NH is and join us!
I’ll make an episode about the interview and subsequent fact-check call, but briefly, here’s some nuances:
Anti-vax/mandate was lost on them.
The discussion about self-ownership, which justifies my position on abortion. I think it’s wrong. I wouldn’t do it. But I don’t own you, so other than sharing my opinion with you–free speech–you need to be free to do what you want because reasonable people disagree on when life starts.
The discussion about independence being a strategic hedge against federal overreach. A discussion about why I oppose almost all federal laws, when state laws make do just fine, i.e. federalism and states’ rights.
Definitely read the whole article! Notice at the end the real reason for it all… Democrats pivot on messaging and literally steal Trump’s platform. Go look. For reals. It’s pretty remarkable.
