The International Monetary Fund guru says no one wins a trade war!
But that leaves out the other part of international trade, a part I hoped the self-important monetary heard might have an answer for.
Who wins the “Dumping War” we have been losing for so long?
A bill to repeal New Hampshire’s Interest and Dividend tax has met with an uncertain fate.
A motion that would’ve killed the bill entirely failed, 11-12, but a subsequent motion to table consideration was approved, 12-11, with Sen. John Reagan, R-Deerfield, the only member to vote with the majority in both instances. Sen. Jeb Bradley, R-Wolfeboro, did not vote citing a conflict of interest.
If a Senator does not move to reconsider the bill before the end of the session, which means another vote like the last, it will die until another day. That being a day when Republicans still have a majority and one with a bit more backbone.
Did you know that bee colonies are at a 20-year high? Do-tell, you say? Well, I don’t have too. Someone else already did.
This video is short and will get you up to speed on the bee situation, which is important because the media isn’t going to do any sensationalist reporting on the end of their beepocalypse.
As introduced House Bill 628 attempts to solve a problem that doesn’t exist to create a problem that didn’t exist. It framed a scheme for taxing income to backstop a medical family leave program so state government can create a new office to manage the tax. New Hampshire doesn’t have what most people think of as an income tax. But as originally designed HB628 would put into place the people and power necessary to add one which I believe is its real purpose.
A small army of activists has been working uphill against an establishment that seems hellbent on getting this passed despite any no-tax pledges and Republican registrations. So, far that effort has amounted to very little but the bill was recently amended.
The New Hampshire House recently passed a bill that would prohibit employers from having use-it-or-lose-it vacation policies. Employers that provide vacation time can expect their employees to use it up within a certain time, after which they lose it. HB1201 would require employers to give employees more time to use the vacation after which they would be required to pay the employee for that time.
If you are looking for some great conservative incite into policy, I highly recommend The Conservative Conscience with Daniele Horowitz. He does a great job of tearing into policy issues. This episode gets into the weeds on Trump’s messaging versus Congress, with a focus on the Omnibus bill.
This week our guests include CNHT chairman Ed Naile, Daren Bakst from the Heritage Institute, Pro-Life activist Ellen Kolb, and Kimberly Morin. On topics from the Second Amendment, liberal malfeasance, water rights, free speech, and compelled speech. Visit the original blog post for more ways to listen.
The left has labeled itself as ‘The resistance’ but when you consider what they are resisting it’s not flattering so let’s consider it.
The Resistance is resiting free speech. They want the government to limit speech, compel speech, to have power over the spoken and written word and the mediums used to convey it. Another word for that is fascism.
The Resistance wants the ruling class to have a monopoly on force.
Many of the students who participated in the Women’s March organized National Walkout are victims of Progressive pressure politics. Others are misinformed cattle used as mules for Liberal narratives. More than we can imagine were just happy to leave the building and go outside. And a small portion of them can see the forest for the trees.
The second amendment is an enumeration of a natural right that the State shall not deny law-abiding citizens.
There’s one more narrative we need to explore in the wake of the National Walkout.

Strap yourselves in ladies and gentleman. National Review has a story that is as massive in length as it is in importance. A long, detailed look at Obama, Democrats, and the Clinton Campaign, their activities, and the effort to smear Trump too, for lack of a better term, to keep themselves from getting caught and to protect the progressive wreckage of Obama’s legacy.
The first thing you need to know about SB412 (and why you should praise its passage in the state Senate) is that the mopes in Henniker don’t like it. And here’s why.
No municipality shall adopt an ordinance, bylaw, definition, or policy regarding agritourism activities that conflict with the definition of agritourism in RSA 21:34-a.
Further, it creates a Commissioner of Department of Agriculture, Markets, and Food Dispute Board where farmers can petition the board and obtain a ruling to decide if the municipal ordinance regarding agritourism conflicts with RSA 21:34-a.

Ed Naile, Chairman of the Coalition of New Hampshire Taxpayers explains the how, what, where, and why of a clear-cut case of compelled speech by the Town of Newbury, New Hampshire and it doesn’t get any more damning than this.

An effort by Democrats to use public schools as a wedge issue to disarm law abiding citizens failed in the New Hampshire Senate this week.
In a party-line vote, the Senate Education Committee voted down an amendment that would have allowed individual school boards to prohibit guns on school grounds and school buses.
The Daily Wire has a longer version you can view here, but there’s not much to see. The CCTV cameras capture the Broward County Deputy moving up to the building, weapon drawn, and then standing around, as reported often and at length, while the shooting continues to its conclusion sans his intervention. So, the left’s insistence … Read more
If I’ve said it once I’ve said it dozens of times and more likely hundreds, there’s no such thing as hate speech. It doesn’t exist but in the minds of people looking for an opportunity to create a legal precedent to ban speech with which they disagree. Speech they hate.
The Democrats proved this repeatedly by either their open support or stubborn refusal to denounce individuals, groups or actions that use violence and intimidation to silence speech (that contradicts their worldview). And in January Germany did something for which the American left is desperate. The government implemented a law that allows those in power to decide what is hateful and make tech companies remove it from the internet.
Democrats throw ($*!t) at the wall until something sticks, and they never seem to have a shortage of the stuff. Case in point. SenateBill 466 was issued the day after NH Ed. Commissioner Frank Edelblut responded to a vapid tweet from Executive Councilor turned congressional Candidate Pajama-Boy Chris Pappas.
The State Democrat Party, who were naturally in on the sting operation, actually said out loud that they didn’t want (Edelblut) transforming the department of education into a political weapon.
That is damn funny, but the goal and the agenda are not, and people need to take note.
From the office of the President. The official statement from the West Wing on Mr. Trump’s priorities for dealing with mass shootings, NICS, Mental Health, School Safety, or something.
I’ll leave it here without further exposition for your consideration and comment.
PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP IS TAKING IMMEDIATE ACTIONS TO SECURE OUR SCHOOLS
“Every child deserves to grow up in a safe community surrounded by a loving family and to have a future filled with opportunity and with hope.” – President Donald J. Trump
HARDENING OUR SCHOOLS: President Donald J. Trump is making sure our schools are safe and secure, just like our airports, stadiums, and government buildings.
Daren Bakst, The Heritage Foundation’s research fellow in agricultural policy, joins me to discuss Obama Era EPA overreach and the Water of the US Rule. Where we are (everything from a lake to a puddle can be regulated). What Congress can or should do. And what if anything you can do to help.
