US Sees Record Small Business Optimism – Democrats Promise To Take It All Away

Trump’s recovery summer continues to stack up wins as small business optimism piles on to an already impressive roll call.

From National Review.

Optimism among small-business owners reached a record high in August as Republican-passed tax cuts and deregulation began to bear fruit, according to a survey by the National Federation of Independent Business.

The NFIB Small Business Optimism Index hit 108.8 last month, the highest it’s been in the index’s 45-year history, beating the previous record of 108 set in 1983 under Republican president Ronald Reagan.

Attention New Hampshire State Reps: Your Voting Record Matters

by James Kofalt

Too many State Reps get away with positioning themselves one way and then voting an entirely different way. On the “R” side of the fence, we always seem to have a handful of Republicans who vote with the Democrat platform more often than they vote with the GOP. CarolynGargasz (R, Hollis) has straddled that line over the years, occasionally falling below a 50% rating from the House Republican Alliance (HRA), and sometimes venturing as high as the mid-fifties.

Judging from yesterday’s results, Hollis GOP voters have finally had enough. After 18 years as State Rep, Gargasz placed a distant fourth in a four-way primary.

This didn’t happen by accident, and it didn’t happen without some effort.

Kevin Hassett: No, This Is Not Obama’s Economy

Mr. Obama came out the other day to bash Mr. Trump for being a miserable president, then took credit for how good things are during the Trump Presidency.

No one on the left seems willing to make that challenge nor are they getting up and shouting all that much about how all their prognostications about the end of the world – should we cut taxes and regulations, or just elect Trump -have not only failed to come true, the opposite has happened.

The economy is booming, and it’s not because of Obama or any Democrat and here’s a guy to make that case.

September 11 – We still remember (bumped)

9/11 Falling man

Updated (again) and bumped from 9/11/12: I just reread this – angrily.  For you see, our President, whose main responsibility is to the Constitution, the nation, and its people – to keep them safe.  Yet, this President, whose main policy is Determined Weakness, has no problem in using the might of the United States to protect, and worse, to ally this country with those whose hatred of this country cause the Falling Man to your left.  The MSM won’t show this picture, and no, they won’t make the explicit connection between Muslim Jihadis and the death of thousands.  For many of our fellow countrymen, death came quickly.  Twelve years later, I cannot fathom the fear, the emptiness, the futility, and worse, the aloneness of those that chose that last 30 seconds of their lives in jumping.  They stared at the Death that was coming from above, below and from behind – and cheat it but only in that they chose a different Death.

Never forget – and never forgive.  No, Mr. President Obama, too many Americans have died too soon  to have us aid those that caused Death to visit our shores simply because our Founders believed in the exceptional (and radical) idea that we can be self-governing in all things and to live our lives in ways we individually believe best.  But it seems, Mr. President, that you reject this idea (as do all Progressives) for your actions in Benghazi, in Libya, in Egypt, and desiring to do so again in Syria, you have thrown in with those that believe otherwise.  Jihadis, Islamists, Muslim Brotherhood; at each and every turn you have shown your preference for them over those that love our Constitution and its ideals.

If NH Dems Vote for Jeff Woodburn Are They Declaring a War on Women?

Jeff Woodburn is accused of domestic violence so if North Country New Hampshire Dems vote for Woodburn over the female primary challenger, what does that tell us? If Woodburn were a Republican and voters passed on a woman so they could vote for a man (arrested on nine counts of domestic violence) they’d all be pig-bigots … Read more

Get Off Your Ass and Vote!

Welcome to the New Hampshire Primary. It’s been a long time coming. We’ve been poked and prodded for our thoughts since before January. We’ve made an endorsement or two and posted op-eds from a number of candidates for races around the state. And today is the day.

Democrats are expected to come out in force to pick their candidates. Republicans are expected to do their nails and wash their hair or binge watch something on Netflix. It’s just a primary, after all.

My suggestion? Get off your ass and vote.

Of Colin Kaepernick and Tom Burnett. Nike choose poorly

I still remember where I was when the news started to come in – just getting out of my Suburban and going into the local Epicor office; the news flashed over the radio.  I rigged up a TV in the office – a crowd gathered in silence, staring in horror.  Weeping and groans when the second plane hit the Twin Towers…

Fast forward to today, 17 years later, and Mike Rowe (of “Dirty Jobs” fame that lifted up those that do the jobs that most people wouldn’t do but has to be done to keep the wheels spinning in this modern world) levels Nike’s selection of a “hero” Colin Kaepernick by recounting the story of one of the true heroes of 9/11/2001 on board United Flight 93 that stopped the Islamic Jihadis from using yet another aircraft from harming our fellow countrymen (rumors was that it was supposed to hit the White House): Tom Burnett.

Take our advice, we’re not using it

chicken in street

David Hogg recently extended his long string of goofy comments by claiming that the AR-15 rifle can’t be a ‘self-defense’ weapon because it can be used to hit things that are far away.

Predictably, it got a lot of media coverage.  And predictably, it generated a lot of comments along the lines of ‘How can anyone believe something that is so obviously wrong?’

But really, this kind of idiocy is predictable too.  In fact, we’re going to great effort to cultivate it.

Obama is Back – Just in Time To Harpoon Democrat Chances in November

Nancy Pelosi is the most polarizing politician on the left. Invoking her name gets Republicans to the polls. Next in line for that honor is Barack Obama. The single most destructive force to Democrat election chances in American history.

When Obama speaks, Republicans show up to vote against Democrats. Last week Obama spoke. He called you racists and bigots. Does anyone have any doubt about how that will be received?

Toxic…

Toxic-imageToxic. Most reasonable people understand toxic individuals generally ruin every relationship, personal and professional, in their lives. There is no reasoning with toxic individuals. These people are automatons, narcissists and control freaks. Not getting one’s own way means destroying everyone or everything around them to achieve that end. Toxic people squander trust and credibility. Narcissism on full public display.

Pro-Gun Groups in New Hampshire who hold themselves as advocates for the Second Amendment have had a long and storied history of rivalry during political seasons and campaign efforts. Indeed, there has been general disagreement on semantics, such as wording of bills, how concepts are articulated, presented, and how to bring the political machine around to a particular point of view.  Eventually though, the dust does settle and the groups get on the same page, or return to their corners at least long enough to get the ball across the finish line on behalf of the Second Amendment.  The confluence of the groups has always been a push-pull, tug or tow effort, but at the end of the day, we all seem to rally around the right to keep and bear arms.

The NH Sierra Club Hates the Biomass Bailout Bill – Wait Till You Hear Why?

Catherine Corkery and James McCaffrey have an Op-Ed in today’s Union Leader supporting the veto of SB 365 and opposing an override by the New Hampshire Legislature. Corkery is the director of the NH Sierra Club and McCaffery is the “New England legislative director of the Partnership for Policy Integrity.” PFPI is an environmental action group that opposes woodburning “cuz it’s so dirty.”

They prefer Wind and Solar because, as the SB365 bailout bill proves, biomass “simply cannot survive without wasteful and ongoing subsidies from ratepayers and the public.” Say what!?
