You’ve Been Paying Social Security Benefits to People Whose Disability is That They Don’t Speak English
I’m not sure what I found more surprising. That the US government has a rule that allows you to collect social security disability benefits because you don’t speak English or that we are changing the rule to make collecting on those grounds more difficult.
Court Rules London Airport Can’t Add a Third Runway, ‘Cuz Paris Climate Accord
If you are indifferent to the goals of the Greens, you are in for a rude awakening. The American Left’s Green New Deal (GND) really would have a catastrophic effect on our incomes and lifestyles. Don’t believe me? Exhibit One: a UK court just blocked a runway project at Heathrow Airport in London.
For the Third Straight Year, New Hampshire Exports set a New Record

Focus on Growth, Opportunity and Innovation is Paying Off for New Hampshire
The takeaway message from Gov. Chris Sununu’s State of the State address on Thursday was that New Hampshire, like comedian Larry The Cable Guy, gets her done.
Occasional Cortex (AOC) Submits Bill to Ban Fracking Nationwide by 2025
The left hates fracking. It creates jobs, stimulates growth in the economy, keeps energy prices down. All things they are happy to sacrifice on the altar of their green socialist god. So, is it any wonder Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has a bill to end that growth and prosperity within five years?
Democrats in Vermont are Just as Stupid as Dems In NH When It comes to Minumum Wage
While I appreciate the efforts of Vermont Democrats to drive more job creators and commerce into New Hampshire, I must take issue with blatant economic stupidity when I see it. Pseudo-Republican Gov. Scott has vetoed their minimum wage bill. The Democrat’s response is, well, stupid.
Brilliant! Team Trump Twitter Video Takes Nancy and Her Speech Tearing Antics to the Wood Shed
My first take on the State of the Union was that Nancy screwed up. Tearing up the speech was terrible optics. A speech loaded with good news (in particular) for women and minorities. Pelosi tore it up and team Trump is making Democrats pay a price.
The Economy Added 225,000 Jobs in January and Wages are up.

Great News for Minorities – And Then Nancy Ripped it up in Front of them and the World
Democrats sat on their hands as President Trump rattled off historical gains and record-breaking economic improvements for minorities in America. That’s not new, by the way. If you search their congressional web pages you won’t find a word about any of it.
January 2020 Increase is Best Monthly Gain in Private Payroll in 5 Years
President Trump’s recovery continues into 2020. CNBC is reporting some impressive numbers for January, which is typically a month when businesses shed jobs added for Christmas. They’re calling it the best monthly gain in private payroll since May of 2015.
Bernie Submits Bill To Ban Fracking in the US Senate (Must Want Democrats to Lose)
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.
#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.
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.
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.
The Party of “blue collar workers” no more? Thanks, Democrats
I don’t think that Biden’s answer was all that well thought out – but very much in line with how Democrats feel about fossil fuel regardless of its importance to our economy now. After all, there is that old saying “you can’t make omelettes without breaking a few eggs”; Biden made it clear that even … Read more

Democrats are Running on Creating a Recession (More Taxes, Fewer Jobs, Lower Wages)
The headline reads, “Democrats can’t wait to raise your taxes, and take your job, too.” It’s from a Washington Times article by Lewis K. Uhler and Peter J. Ferrara. Twelve words that tell you what you need to know about the Democrats running wherever you happen to be in America.
Data Point: Job data soars – last quarter revised upward as well.
It is going to be really hard for the Democrats to run against the Trump campaign if they are limited to actual data: U.S. Jobs Report Breaks Expectations, Unemployment at 50-Year Low The U.S. Labor Department’s jobs report released on Friday showed accelerated hiring and unemployment at a 50-year low. Employers added 266,000 jobs for … Read more
