The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife has been “monitoring” nesting pairs of sea birds, particularly the Piping Plover, for years. That must mean that Global Warming is affecting these cute little birds. And they were right.

Has First Street Foundation Stepped up to take the Place of the UCS as Chief Climate Prediction Buffoon?
First Street Foundation has been releasing cataclysmic climate reports on par with the many failed predictions of the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS). I wondered whether UCS had passed the sputtering torch of failed climate cataclysm to a “new player.”
Bragging About Buckets of Money
Vermont Biz is bragging about a bucket of money they got after it was laundered by the Feds. It is a $20 million-dollar renewal grant from the National Institutes of Health. Get a load of this!
Professor Alleges She Was Fired After Asking for Data to Justify School Mask Mandate Policy
Earlier this year, the State of Massachusetts was asked to provide the “science” that justified school mask mandates and could not provide any. The answer? “The Department of Public Health does not have any documents in its custody or control that are responsive to your request.”
U.S. Supreme Court Rules Against The New Hampshire School Boards Association: CALL TO ACTION
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Maine’s school choice program that allows cities and towns to provide tuition assistance for a child’s education. There was an attempt to deny this assistance to parents who choose a religious school for their children. That amounts to discriminatory practices.
NH Has Lowest Grocery Bill Per Person Per Month in the Entire US (How’d Your State Do?)
We like to talk about how much better living in New Hampshire is than anywhere else, but I think this is my first rodeo with this statistic. The cost per month of groceries per person.
Maine Democrat Bre Kidman’s Campaign logo (She’s Running for US Senate) is a Guillotine
I am not at all offended by the campaign logo of US Senate candidate (from Maine) Bre Kidman. I find it refreshing. The logo for the Democrat challenger for the seat currently held by Part-Time Republican Susan Collins is a guillotine.
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.
New Hampshire Democrats Retain Oppressive Carbon Tax Bill in Committee
Remember HB735, the New Hampshire Democrat’s carbon tax bill? It would suck hundreds of millions of dollars out of the state economy every year. Kill jobs. Hurt families. It’s not dead. It has been retained in committee. Which means it could come back to life without warning to kill our economy.
Looking for Snow in New England?
My yard is frozen. The thaw-freeze cycle has significant tracts covered with ice. I still have snow, but not a lot. Got snow? Caribou Maine has record amounts of it. Caribou, in far Northern Maine, is in the midst of its snowiest January on record. So far, just over 50 inches of snow has fallen … Read more
Danish Meteorological Institute: Arctic Sea Ice Volume at 11-Year High
The Ice-Free Arctic narrative continues to struggle as both expert, and armchair predictions come up “short” again and again. The Danish Meteorological Institute reports that Arctic Sea ice volume is above the 15-year mean and at an 11-year high.
Some may say, so what?
Bangor Maine Company Moving to New Hampshire
Bangor Daily News. Maine has a “far less than friendly business environment, and that’s clear, no matter what our friend Mr. LePage puts out there,” he said Wednesday morning. “On several levels, I regret leaving the Bangor area, but from a purely economic point of view it doesn’t make sense to stay here any longer.” -Lee Coyle, … Read more
Maine Squeeze
Maine has something of a bi-polar disorder. They have purple US Republican senators, democrat congressman (still) and just elected a tea party-ish backed governor while handing their entire state legislature over to Republican control for the first time in about 30 years.
Why do that?
For all the why’s and what-fors that can be imagined, at the end of the day it is hard to ignore the pressure from on high. Two years of high-profile democrat campaigning to advance what turned out to be a very unpopular progressive-national agenda, was felt most strongly in the places where voters felt they have the most control–local state house and state senate races. It’s been true all across the country.
Moderate to democrat Maine, it seems is no different. In a state that has let the left dominate state government for decades, Republicans successfully sold the need to be more state-centric and that resonated locally, perhaps to fend off the nationalization of local government from massive federal overreach.
