We’ve had a thing or two to say about fracking. Good things. Not just to piss off Democrats who bought in on the Left’s lies about this valuable process and resource. We (rightly) think Fracking has been great for America. Bernie Sanders wants to ban it.

Gallup: Trump’s Record on Race Relations is Better Than Obama’s
It’s a strange world when the so-called Nazi President Trumphitler is a better friend of Jews and Israel than any President, perhaps ever. Trump is also regarded by the left as a racist who incites racism but Gallup shows race relations under Trump are better than they were under Obama.
#NHEconomy goes BOOM – again – in December
Thanks to AFP-NH State Director Greg Moore for the headline and the link. I think Democrats must be disappointed, though. Their budget deal requires the economy to tank before they can raise taxes. They agreed to that.
Data Point – Consumer Confidence highest in nearly 20 years
From Bloomberg: U.S. consumer confidence advanced last week to the highest level in more than 19 years on increased optimism about the economy, personal finances and the buying climate.

Recycling – I’ll say it: it’s just Economic Insanity
I’ve been blogging about what has been going on in my home town that just put up the “Scott Dunn monument to Economic Illiteracy” and the Mandatory Recycling mandate in order to make “The Plan” work. You can’t use the new Recycle Center (“RC”), just built for the amount of $1.3 Million dollar, unless YOU … Read more
Trump: “The American dream is back, bigger, better, and stronger than ever before”
Your president was in Davos for the World Economic Forum. Deep in enemy territory. No one really likes you. But Trump being Trump, he rubbed America’s economy in their collective globalist faces.
Recycling trash? It doesn’t pay at all as advertised; it’s just another form of religion
Scott Dunn’s monument to economic illiteracy (the Gilford Recycling Center) will lose close to $7million over the next 10 years.
Notable Quote – Richard Wagner
The robust commercial republic that emerged through this constitution of liberty clearly warranted the designation of American exceptionalism. That exceptionalism has been under assault for around a century now as the consensual principle upon which the American regime was founded has come increasingly to give way to the factional principle, whereby government becomes an instrument … Read more
The Economic Lies of Bloomberg, Steyer, and Yang (And the Rest)
The Millionaires and Billionaires running for President have settled on the same theme. Trump’s economy is not for you. You can’t miss the commercials. We’re wicked rich, and you have been left behind. And if you elect them president, what?
Data Point – Average unemployment rate by President
President Trump starts off 2020 having presided over a lower average unemployment rate than any president at a comparable point in office in recorded history.
Notable Quote – Deirdre McCloskey
The High Liberal [Progressivism/Socialism -Skip] story is, in a few brief mottos to stand for a rich intellectual tradition since the 1880s: Modern life is complicated, and so we need government to regulate.
Ease Taxes Not Easy Tax Implementation
Governments should work to ease taxes, not toward easy tax implementation. Why? Because Americans do not just vote with their hands at the ballot box. We also vote with our feet and moving vans.
New Hampshire Rated Best State to Live In (Again!)
The Internet is full of sites that do “best of” data-crunching on crime poverty, overall health, the standard of living, jobs, wags, opportunity. When it’s those categories, New Hampshire always seems to do well.
The Democrats’ “Economy That Works For All” Hoax
This: To say that we need to “build an economy that works for all” implies that the current economy is not. Not only is there no evidence to support such a claim, all the data and facts belie the claim: As the chart shows, everybody’s wages have gone up under Trump, but the … Read more
American Energy Boom is a Winner for You, The Economy, and Dopey Climate Libs
We don’t shy away from our love affair with cheap, abundant energy. It is a critical cost of doing everything from lifting up an economy to securing national defense interests. Liberals appear opposed to all of that, and some Dems believe them, but will this news data change their minds?
Happy It’s An Election Year?
Happy New Year; are you happy it’s an election year? The Democrats have saddled themselves with an impeachment. Saddled fits because of its extremely partisan nature. It was from inception born of hate and lies. The Democrat primary debates, sans American flags, are still going on. Their audience is the most limited in history.
Notable Quote – F.A. Hayek
The whole conception of man, already endowed with a mind capable of conceiving civilization, set out to create that civilization as it was already preformed in his mind, is fundamentally false. Man does not simply impose upon nature a preformed mental pattern. His mind is itself a pattern constantly changing as a result of his … Read more
Census Data Shows Another New Hampshire Win over the Rest of Northeast
In a mini tweetstorm, AFP-NH Executive director Greg Moore shared a raft of news regarding the Granite State. Most of it, good. We’re ‘growing’ by attracting people to come live and work here.
On Jan 1st, Our Neighboring States are Helping New Hampshire’s Advantage Grow
Politicians in states all around New England think they are economic geniuses. They know how much an hour of labor is worth for every job, everywhere? No! They don’t. But that hubris is New Hampshire’s gain as the New Year looms, and they force the cost of labor higher.
Data Point – Paul Krugman said if Trump was elected, stock market would crash forever. Oopsies!
It Was a Very Trumpian 2019: Global Stock Markets Gained $17 Trillion in Value This Year …Well, shockingly, all those predictions were completely and utterly wrong: Global stock markets have been on a torrid run in 2019, adding more than $17 trillion in total value, according to Deutsche Bank calculations. The value of global equities … Read more
