But given what he’s been saying so far, that’s EXACTLY what Bernie Sanders wants!

January 6, 2020 Skip

So Bernie gets pwned twice over. First is in this obvious one – he DOES want to take everyone’s money. Just look at his “plans” for what he wants to do! At this point, his Medicare for All / Universal Healthcare has such a large price tag, he’s been reduced to just waving his hand, … Read more

January 4, 2020January 3, 2020 Kevin Scully

Two of our very own Nashua State Reps., “Skip” Cleaver and Mark King, are making yet another run at your wallets in the form of a sales tax (HB 1492). For you baseball movie fans, if this bill were a movie, I’d call it “Field of Schemes.”

Trump Administration Put the FDA Screws to Flavored Vaping Juice Manufacturers

January 3, 2020 Steve MacDonald

I’ve been harping on Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker for his knee-jerk vaping ban. Virtue signaling that has proven to be an economic win for New Hampshire. It was an overreach in my opinion so what of this? The Trump administration is putting the screws to Vape Juice makers.

December 22, 2019December 22, 2019 Steve MacDonald

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.

Mike Bloomberg … Benevolent Fascist

December 8, 2019 Ed Mosca

This: Not a dictator? Xi had his rubber-stamp National People’s Congress change the Chinese Constitution in 2018 to make him President for life.

Waste-to-energy is the solution to the trash problem

December 6, 2019December 6, 2019 Doug

Regarding the recycling center in Gilford, this whole project has been a boondoggle of the highest degree.

If you are a Gilford property owner, you have just received your property tax bill. Happy? Sad? Angry? Did you notice that, while the total tax rate dropped by less than 7%, the portion of the total tax rate represented by the school tax rate increased (as it usually does) from the prior year?

Data Point – So, how high does it have to go so that “the rich will pay their fair share”?

November 30, 2019November 30, 2019 Skip

That’s all we hear from the Democrats – the rich don’t pay their fair share. The rich don’t pay their fair share. The rich don’t pay their fair share. Shampoo, rinse, repeat ad nauseum.

November 29, 2019 Op-Ed

BY RICK NOTKIN

MY ERROR! I failed to swap the actual writer’s name for mine – that has been corrected and I apologize to those that thought I wrote this when it was Rick Notkin. My humblest apologies. It has been corrected and bumped

Should New Hampshire Replace Every Exit Number on Every Highway Sign…?

November 15, 2019 Norm Silber

The concept of “ideological purity” simply means staying 100% true to your ideals and values when you vote.

The Truth About Income Inequality

November 14, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The title, taken from the tax prof blog, is the simples beginning to this piece. Income inequality is a significant burr in the Left’s backside. Sorry, that’s not quite right. It is a burr they are trying to stick to everyone else backside. Class Warfare divides, but is it as bad as they claim?
