Reviving American manufacturing is a hot topic in the nation and New Hampshire once again.

by Ryan McMaken

According to the most recent report from the federal government’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, the US economy added only 12,000 payroll jobs during October. This was the smallest month-to-month employment gain in nearly four years. Moreover, total private jobs fell in October by 28,000.

by Steve MacDonald

We are not against the odd human interest story (some would argue correctly that all of our stories are human interest), so this is right up our alley either way. Women. We’re huge fans. So when I tripped over this story on the internet (someone sent it to me, shhh), I was very excited. My … Read more

Night Cap: Joe Biden, Liar In Chief

April 8, 2024

by Ray Cardello

I have tried to be respectful as I have been critical of Joe Biden and his Administration, but he has not earned that respect. It is time to call a spade a spade and be blatantly honest about the damage this feeble man and his crew have done to America and Americans.

Maui is Screaming for Tourists. May I Make a Suggestion?

August 29, 2023

by Steve MacDonald

Lahaina is a small part of Maui, and while the devastation and loss of life were epic and tragic, the remainder of Maui is open for business, but there’s a problem. No one is showing up, and the tourism-reliant economy is collapsing.

The White House Wants You To Think All Is Well, but Somebody Is Playing With the Numbers

June 10, 2023

by Op-Ed

Listening to the White House talk about jobs would lead you to think everything is rosy in the economy. Yes, there is a lot of hiring going on. Sure people are going back to work now that we are officially past the pandemic. Some part of the hiring is still rehiring as opposed to new job creation.

February 4, 2023

by Ray Cardello

Joe Biden is again taking bows for results for which he has no impact. He is bragging to America about the 12 million jobs he has created in his first two years. More jobs than any other President in four years

Good news for New Hampshire. Vermont’s next mandatory minimum wage hike is set to go off on January 1st, 2023. That means fewer jobs and job creators across the river, a few of whom will consider jumping the border to set up shop in New Hampshire.

Americans Need Second Job While the Bidens Vacation

August 13, 2022

by 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

June 6, 2022

by Op-Ed

I don’t know about you, but my friends and I are really starting to feel the squeeze. One friend is canceling her participation in a summer camping trip because the tank of gas required to get to and from the campground is too costly.

The Mixed Signals Are Getting More Twisted

June 4, 2022

by Ray Cardello

Rising gas prices are good, as is low weekly job creation. The President thinks that both indicators are favorable signs that his economic policies are working to recover the economy. He is either delirious, ignorant of Economics 101, or was a classmate of AOC. By his sinking approval numbers, not many are buying what Biden … Read more

Culture – Unemployed Outside a Wal-Mart that’s Hiring (And sells food) With Sign that says “Will Work for Food”

by Steve MacDonald

I work near a Super-Wal-Mart, so I do a bit of shopping there when needed. If you don’t have one near you, it’s a Wal-Mart with a full-size grocery store inside. Another thing you might not have is unemployed panhandlers holding cardboard signs looking for work or money.

Logistics Geniuses in Congress Create “Shovel Ready Jobs” – Now They Just Need to Find Some Workers, Oh, and Some “Shovels”

by Steve MacDonald

The passage of the so-called infrastructure bill has been heralded as a victory for Democrats and the Biden administration. I think not. While spending gobs of money that does not exist is always a win on the left, this exposes them to other failures.

Last week, somewhere in one of our social feeds, someone asked if the CDC was actually a private non-profit. The question at hand was how or why anyone would need to follow its directives if it were?

by Steve MacDonald

I’m not a big fan of mandates, but the time has come to support one. Every state legislature and governor needs to step up and protect public health by prohibiting vaccine mandates anywhere in their states.
