MACDONALD: The Mass Mileage Bill Revisited

January 18, 2026January 18, 2026 Steve MacDonald

It is not always possible to update, ammend or append stories as they evolve or new information becomes available. We’ve got so many that it isn’t always possible to recall what we wrote or find it. But they often evolve and change as new information becomes available. We’ve had to deal with two recently. The … Read more

The UAW is Wondering Where Those “Good Paying” Green Jobs Grow?

September 15, 2023July 18, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Democrat policy is built on a pile of lies, deceptions, misdirection, and deceit. But you can’t openly admit you are just making stuff up so you can use people to accumulate unassailable political power. Even rank and file Dems might balk at that.

So Kids, What Did We Learn From This Week’s House Session (05/04/23)?

May 5, 2023 Judy Aron

We learned that Senate and House Democrats are fixated on supplying menstrual products in every public bathroom at public expense—this time, they want it provided in state and county correctional facilities at taxpayer expense with SB209. A similar bill, HB421, has already passed in the House, which is now awaiting its fate in the Senate.

So Kids, What Did We Learn From This Week’s House Session (03/09/23)?

March 10, 2023 Judy Aron

We learned that it was a really good day for gun rights, school choice, property rights preservation, and saying NO to things like carbon taxes and green energy schemes. Republicans were truly in the majority today, and we accomplished some very good things!

Americans Need Second Job While the Bidens Vacation

August 13, 2022 Ray Cardello

What better way to celebrate inflation at 0% than to take the family on a summer vacation to a $20 Million home of a donor in South Carolina? Of course, inflation is not at 0%, but that was the latest gaslighting ploy by Joe Biden this week. The July numbers are in, and inflation did … Read more

How About Those Gas Prices?

September 26, 2018March 7, 2012 Rick Olson

“As you know, the government takes 40 percent of what you make. The other 60 percent, of course, taken by the gas stations.” — Jay Leno

Been to a Gas Station Lately? Prices have spiked markedly in the last two weeks. For those of us driving Sport Utility Vehicles the effect is most pronounced. Just this week it cost nearly eighty dollars to fill my Ford Explorer’s fuel tank. It was nearly a year ago when President Obama quipped,

“If you’re complaining about the price of gas, and you’re only getting 8 miles to the gallon… you may wanna think about a trade-in”

Yes. I know..it’s an SUV….but show me a “clown car” with the performance benefits of an SUV. Fact is, there isn’t one. It appears that Obama believes middle America has the means to expend all the funds necessary to lower gasoline costs and improve efficiency. The President may well be right, but he overlooks the considerable cost one has to undertake to achieve that end.

Where Stands Jeanne Shaheen on the Keystone Pipeline?

September 26, 2018January 20, 2012 Steve MacDonald

PIPLINE There are at least ten Democrats, six of them US Senators, who support the Keystone XL pipeline (List on the jump). Private investment, jobs, commerce, property taxes, and did we say jobs?

How about millions of barrels per day of that black stuff we still have to buy coming from Canada, a chance to get less from countries like Venezuela?

US Refineries will convert that into fuels like Gasoline of which we are a net exporter. No interest in meeting global demand with US manufacturing?

What about Heating oil prices ? These are always a big concern in New Hampshire.

Where stands Jeanne Shaheen? I still don’t know.
