Employees and employers have this thing they do where they agree to the value of any given individual contribution to an operation. Left to its own devices the job market and the free market will find parity not just in costs but prices.
It’s a beautiful thing and it works. But Democrats can’t leave anything alone.
They are obsessed with using the government to meddle. Intrusions that result in outcomes opposite to those advertised.
Swamp Rats inside the IRS can’t leak what they don’t have. And thanks to a new rule the IRS will no longer be collecting personal donor data upfront from organizations that include (for our triggered progressive “friends”) unions and Planned Parenthood.
The Treasury Department said the policy change will maintain donor disclosure requirements for traditional charity groups organized under section 501(c)(3) of tax law. But it frees labor unions, advocacy groups, veterans organizations and other nonprofits such as Planned Parenthood that do not receive tax-exempt money from complying with the decades-old confidential disclosure requirements.
Imagine going into a meeting of a homeowner’s association and saying: I don’t own any of these units, but I stay here sometimes with a friend who owns one, so I should get a vote.
Imagine going into a meeting of the shareholders of a corporation saying: I don’t own any shares of this company, but I use your products sometimes, so I should get a vote.
Imagine going to a polling place in Canada on election day and saying: I’m not a citizen of Canada, but I go to school here, so I should get a vote.
These are all absurd, right?
Every time I hear about a state (most recently Massachusetts) or city (most recently Seattle) raising the minimum wage to some unsustainable level, it makes me wonder what I would do if I ran a business in one of those jurisdictions.
The obvious responses would be to (1) move to a new jurisdiction, (2) hire fewer employees, (3) raise my prices, or some combination of those three. But there’s a less obvious response that I think I would try first.
Would it surprise you to hear that banning plastic drinking straws will accomplish nothing? How about this; that 500 million straws a day “fact” everyone is repeating came from a 9-year old kids’ school project. Or, that U.S. straws in the waste stream are a sliver of a fraction of 1% of all the plastic waste the ends up in the ocean.

Well, PeopleFinders can help you with a range of information that can prove invaluable to many people. This includes everything from public records and criminal records through to reverse phone lookup information. This has become an invaluable service that is used by both professionals and individuals that need to look up information or even trace a person or phone number.
With the evolution of technology and our growing reliance on the internet, it comes as no surprise that this type of service has become so invaluable. Imagine you are a company director that wants to find out more information about potential job candidates. Obviously, you want to ensure you take on the right person for the job but this isn’t always easy. When you have access to public records and criminal background check facilities, it suddenly becomes a whole lot easier to get this information. You then have far greater peace of mind with regards to whether this is the right candidate for your company.
Slate’s headline is “Ground Zero in the War on Voting Rights.” The Subhead reads “New Hampshire Republicans passed a bill to suppress the student vote. Democrats have one last chance to defeat it.”
Are you all that stupid? Seriously? Okay. Wait. Let’s try a little test.
It’s called “show me the student voter suppression.” Pay attention. This is complex stuff right here. Are you ready?
Paul Driessen, writing at Townhall, explains Carbon Colonialism.
Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) use manmade climate change alarmism to justify lending policies that reject funding for fossil fuel electricity generation, promote expensive and unreliable renewable sources, and thereby help keep impoverished nations poor.
But something is changing.
My interest in this decision is two-fold. First, no small amount of effort has been expended on these pages to highlight the abuse of rights on college campuses or the culture that facilitates it. Second, I attended the University of Buffalo, which was just dope-slapped by a New York State Appellate Court for its banana-republic-like judgment against a student.
In response to their disciplinary process, the court said,

For Immediate Release
As you may know, the New Hampshire Executive Council has voted in the past to approve funding for abortion clinics here in the Granite State.
Although Planned Parenthood advertises itself as an organization promoting health care for women and families, it IS the nation’s largest abortion provider and has been repeatedly plagued by scandal and abuse. It is a private organization that shouldn’t be funded by taxpayers.
Recently, Skip started a post with this charming thought: ‘The job of a journalist is to report facts, add context where necessary, and leave it to the consumer to decide what he thinks.’ I would have agreed with that before I read Neil Postman’s excellent book How to Watch TV News. But Postman helped me … Read more

With stories of high-profile people with clinical depression hitting the news cycle on what seems like an almost daily basis, it’s no surprise that many are curious about how to address the mental health crisis in this country. As scientists have recently discovered, chronic stressors can be a big culprit. Economic hardships, for instance, can have a long-term impact on someone’s health. Researchers have found that children living in communities with subsidized housing, for example, are susceptible to greater risks for mental health issues.
Hat Tip to the Radiance Foundation for putting this into perspective. And for those who are lining up to say they were not people when they were aborted, what would they have been if they were not aborted? Black lives that matter, just not to the abortion lobby and their Democrat Party sycophants who lynched … Read more
The headline reads, “Man in NH allegedly peered at 12-year-old girl over changing room wall.” How do they know s/he’s a man? How dare they even assume, given that it is an act of discrimination in this state?
Eric Muldowney, 30 of Somerville, Massachusetts, was charged with violation of privacy and simple assault, according to WMUR in New Hampshire. The incident took place Sunday in the Gap store at the Tanger Outlet Mall in Tilton, New Hampshire, about two hours north of Boston.
I’m not sure why s/he isn’t suing the GAP, the Tanger Outlets, the Tilton PD or even the town itself?
SHOT: CNN Sports Says Social Justice Warrior Athletes Seen as Less than Human CHASER: Wrong. It’s not “…Less than Human“. It IS “More annoying than Humanly possible” Again, I used to watch as an ESCAPE from politics rather than being preached at from a Socialist viewpoint. Why would I lend my eyeballs and money in supporting … Read more
Yet, they are supposed to be the “nice” brand of Socialism? Believe that and I’ve got a whole LOT of bridges that I’d like to sell you. They ARE the lipstick on the pig and the only freedoms you’d have are only ones they’d deign to give to you. On a good day. If they feel … Read more
Democrats Don’t Fear Brett Kavanaugh. They Fear the Constitution. OK, let me try to write short on this one for a change: Do I really need to explain why? When the Left is reduced to calling him a “frat boy” because of his first name, you KNOW they got nuttin’ and he isn’t the real … Read more
I was in Concord Yesterday. The car in front of me on Main Street, a Honda Fit, had a Clinton-Kaine bumper sticker and another from the ACLU that said something like ‘Let Them Vote.’
The ACLU and I get along swimmingly on issues of free speech but not so much on their false-flag, straw-man student voting rights agenda which, in New Hampshire, has a laser-focus on making excuses for letting non-residents steal local elections. A narrative that took a knee to the groin this past week with the State Supreme Court decision on House Bill 1264.
As a public courtesy, I feel compelled to revisit this at least one more time, because the Liberals won’t stop kicking the dead horse of ‘student voting rights’ which, if considered in the proper context, may constitute vote suppression by New Hampshire Democrats.
No, not my dog, well, maybe. I’d like to think our “relationship” is voluntary on my part. I chose it.
But back to the music. This song by Bryan Lewis was sent to me by Jim. It’s amusing and as Jim notes, light-hearted…to brighten up your Sunday Morning. See if you agree.
Five (out of the possible 24 NH State Senate District) candidates showed up (listed alphabetically):
Here is Gary – the others are after the jump.
There were a number of no-shows (although Bob Guida (District 2), while absent, at least sent in a Letter to be read). Which left the following no-shows:
