Weather Cycles vs. Climate Alarmists
Climate change is hot again (pun intended) after Greta Thunberg gave her speech with tears and passion. I honestly thought it sounded like a fantastic narration to a movie trailer.

Yes – The Democratic Party DOES Judge People by the Color of Their Skin.
On August 28th we published an Op-ed by the 603 Alliance celebrating the anniversary of Martin Luther King’s ‘I Have a Dream’ Speech. The Concord Monitor published it as well, which produced a few comments and at least one uninformed LTE in the Monitor.
Did House Democrats Just Undermine Their Premise Behind Red Flag Laws?

Twenty Years of Communications Change
The majority of the recent change is the result of advances in communications inter-connectivity. The ability of people to get a lot of information for free is very recent.

Apple to Expand in Texas (Instead of China) – Add 10,000 Jobs to Build Mac Book Pro
Trade war bad except when it’s good, right? And the feds give you a few incentives. Like a break on tariffs for a few parts that are manufactured in China. If you expand manufacturing in the US and add 10,000 Jobs. Sounds like a deal and it is.

Shaheen’s 12 Years Equals $22.5 Trillion in Debt
We need to recognize her accomplishment and retire Jeanne Shaheen while we can still afford it. Ten years ago the federal government reached a milestone. Perhaps we should call it now a millstone. That was the point when America first reached a one-year deficit of $1 trillion.
