The New Hampshire UniParty Keeps Winning
by Ed Mosca
There is nothing … NOTHING … more fwee market than FORCING people who use fossil fuels to SUBSIDIZE people using SOLAR. Nothing. And if you say otherwise, you are Putin’s puppet.
So Kids, What Did We Learn From This Week’s House Session (05/04/23)?
by 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 (03/16/23)?
by Judy Aron
We learned that it was a good day for gun rights and cannabis legalization but not a good day for liberal green energy policies. We learned that HB76, imposing a 3-day waiting period between purchase and delivery of a firearm, died after the Ought To Pass recommendation failed 168-193. There were “exceptions” “graciously bestowed” in … Read more
Senator “Jeb” (Yet Again) Unleashes his Inner-Democrat
by Ed Mosca
This: Net metering is a euphemism for forcing electricity providers to purchase excess electricity generated by Solar at the retail rate (not the lower rate that it would cost the electricity provider to produce the electricity itself). Solar … and other so-called “renewable” energy … are NOT alternatives to fossil fuels. At this point in … Read more
So kids, what did we learn from Wednesday’s House Session (02/19/20)?
by Judy Aron
We learned that the Majority Party Democrats haven’t learned anything from last year’s session with regard to vetoed bills because some of them were back today with different bill numbers and nearly identical language. The result was passage in the NH House of these bills, but we all know that if they survive the NH … Read more
Ager vs. Duprey: The Choice
by Norm Silber
One can often learn something about a person’s true character by examining those with whom they associate or support, giving credence to the old saying that “birds of a feather flock together.” As the son of a legal immigrant father who embraced the American Dream, it is apparent to this writer that our country has … Read more
The Democrats’ “Economy That Works For All” Hoax
by Ed Mosca
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
Meet the GOP Reps Who Voted to Raise the SOLAR-SUBSIDY TAX
by Ed Mosca
Governor Sununu recently vetoed HB 365, which raises the Solar-Subsidy Tax. Here is part of his veto-message: I probably disagree with Sununu more often than I agree with him. But he is absolutely right about HB 365. Here is a pithy summary of how the subsidy -which is euphemistically called “net metering”- works: Forty-three states … Read more
Net Metering: Connected Cronies Want to Rob You and Profit From Your Electric Bill
Net Metering (HB365) is a crony scam that will transfer tens of millions annually from the pockets of small business (job creators) and working families to a select few connected individuals and organizations that can afford to profit from it. And too many Republicans support it.
HB365 – Thank you, Gov. Sununu, for vetoing higher electric rates!
by Skip
Concord, NH – NHGOP Chairman Stephen Stepanek released the following statement regarding Governor Sununu’s veto of House Bill 365 (emphasis mine, and above image chosen especially for our NH climate either – every moment that snow is on them make those panels more and more useless): “The NHGOP supports Governor Chris Sununu’s veto of HB365 … Read more
Lost in the NH Democrat Party’s Lunatic Lurch to the Left … State Senate Republicans Have Been Leftward Lurching Too
by Ed Mosca
This: Let that sink in. Every Republican State Senator, but one, voted to make Obamacare the law in New Hampshire. Obamacare. And don’t be fooled for a second by the term “essential health benefits.” That’s just a wonderful euphemism for mandating that people purchase various insurance coverages whether they need or want that coverage.
