DOGE Is Also Tracking Bureaucratic Regulations

“Well, “Taxation is Theft” especially when it is taken by bureaucrats and spent in ways that have nothing to do with America’s interests but spent on Leftist ideological pet projects. We are also supposed to be a Constitutional Republic that is governed by Law passed by Congress. Instead, we’ve gotten this (assembled by DOGE): If … Read more

Tariffs, Borders, Canada, and Fentanyl

So, given the kerfuffle with tariffs with Canada and Mexico, I thought this might be interesting: And given that I’m driving Canadian blogger Lloyd Alter nuts on tariffs (he still has no clue other than “TAX! Betrayal by an ALLY!”, I dropped this at his place as he complained (paraphrased) “very little drugs going over … Read more

If Canada Becomes a US State…

Trump is saying a lot of things about the Panama Canal, Greenland…and, of course, Canada. Frankly, while he may be more than just “Trumping” a bit here, and trolling denizens in those areas (he’s certainly riled up most of the EU elite talking about Greenland), I think this talk is directed at someone else. I’ll … Read more

A Snapshot Of The Global Semiconductor Industry

I found it interesting to see the distribution of which areas of the globe have both the most semiconductor firms and their values. The Netherlands has one of the most important firms in this space: ASML. Sure, there are far more capitalized firms and far more well-known ones. Still, if you understand the idea that … Read more

Percentage of College Grads By State

NH doesn’t do too badly in this roundup – tied for 4th at 44%. Education pays, as the Bureau of Labor Statistics, found out in data published earlier this year. For every level of education completed, Americans earn more and face a lower risk of unemployment. So where have Americans got this figured out? We map the … Read more

I Said, NH Was Trending Right – But The Entire Country Has Too!

Back in August, I noted that NH Republicans had pulled to a practical parity with the Democrats in voter registration this past year: Interesting.  I was actually scurrying around the NH Secretary of State site looking for something else (dang if I can remember now) when I thought this was what I wanted. It wasn’t … Read more

They Said Climate Chaos Would Change US Air Quality ..!

They warned us that climate chaos (climate change?) was going to affect US air quality and if we can trust Government data (something that seems harder and harder to do lately). Emphasis mine, reformatted: Even as our economy got better – WAY better: So lots more money and way less pollutants:

US Wealth by Generation

“In 2023, American Baby Boomers owned 52% of the country’s net wealth despite comprising only 20% of the population. Based on Federal Reserve data, this graphic, via Visual Capitalist’s Bruno Venditti, illustrates the distribution of wealth in the United States from 1990 to 2023 by generation.”

With All This Talk About Gaza …

It has been a week full of news about Iran’s Islamist Jew-hating-proxy Hamas’s massacring innocents within Israel. Acts of terrorism on the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War when the Arab countries of Jordan and Egypt attacked it.

Housing Costs vs Renting

It’s simple.  Supply vs Demand, with the Government artificially manipulating the marketplace because it controls the third leg of the housing marketplace – interest rates.

Small Biz Bankruptcies Rising Thanks to Bidenomics

By creating an inflationary regime via policy (I blame Biden and his Socialist/Communist minions for this problem), the Fed’s predictable response is to start raising interest rates – a major factor for just about every small business.

Data Point – NH Electorate is Switching Parties

Interesting.  I was actually scurrying around the NH Secretary of State site looking for something else (dang if I can remember now) when I thought this was what I wanted. It wasn’t but still kinda interesting. Look at the SECOND arrow and compare it to the June 16, 2021 numbers a 17% drop in total … Read more

Data Point: 2024 Presidential Campaign – the Small Donor Race

Very interesting… It’s now on: the marathon-length sprint to the second stage finish line (Primaries). Candidates have weighed their options on “Can I? Should I?”, staffing, strategy, media coverage (earned and unearned/paid), travel teams, destinations & events, and their policies. And in the early States, endorsers and volunteers. And EVERYTHING is turned into a race … Read more
