UNH researchers say rising sea levels threaten Seacoast roads

So you’re telling me that drought we just had was good for infrastructure or are you saying rising ground water should have counteracted the drought?

University of New Hampshire researchers have found that some roads, as far as two miles from the shore, are facing a new hazard that currently cannot be seen by drivers — rising groundwater caused by increasing ocean water levels. More..

Kathy Griffin and Molly Ball’s gift to Karen Handel in the Georgia Special Election

What might surprise some are prominent members of the left from Chelsea Clinton to Keith Olbermann falling over themselves to denounce her actions.  You might think this is just virtue signaling but no, their reactions are very calculated.

Consider, the left has just lost another special election in Montana and GA 6 election is coming up in a few weeks.

How would the left like to see Karen Handel running ads linking her Democrat opponent to Kathy Griffin, perhaps using the CNN segment of Molly Ball of the Atlantic dismissing it to show the MSM’s indifference to this kind of thing.  More…

The Problem With Senate Bill 3

The problem with Senate Bill 3 is that it doesn’t go far enough, as explained below.  That said, it is a baby-step in the right direction that can be easily improved upon, and it probably is the best that can be expected under the current RINO (Republican-in-Name-Only) legislature. More…

El Salvador Freaks Out As Trump Deports Hundreds Of MS-13 Gang Members

When migrants cross the border from El Salvador, they’re not sending their best. Criminals, drug dealers, and rapists have been sneaking into the United States in droves – which in the words of Donald Trump, “has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems.”

And while President Obama released nearly 600 illegal immigrants convicted of sex crimes in 2015 because their home countries wouldn’t take them – the ‘law and order’ President is doing the exact opposite…

The Washington Post, which, in a rare moment of journalistic integrity used verifiable sources, has reported that the government of El Salvador is freaking out over the record number of MS-13 gang members Trump has started to deport back to their home countries. More…

Senate budget shoots for more business tax cuts, higher Section 179 deduction cap

The budget the NH Senate is expected to pass this week will not only slightly accelerate already scheduled business tax cuts but greatly expand a tax break for businesses that buy qualifying equipment.

The budget, or rather the trailer bill that accompanied the budget, would increase the maximum upfront deduction allowed on a company’s business profits tax bill – known as the Section 179 deduction because of its place in the federal tax code – from $100,000 to $500,000. This change would bring it in line with the current federal code. More…

Conference explores role of science in opioid crisis

HANOVER, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire’s disproportionately high rate of opioid overdoses is the result of prescription practices, underfunded and scarce treatment options and the state’s proximity to the drug supply chain, Dartmouth College researchers said Tuesday.

The rate of death due to synthetic opioids — mainly fentanyl — increased by nearly 1,600 percent from 2010 to 2015. In 2015, the most recent year for which federal data is available, there were 24 such deaths per 100,000 residents, the highest rate in the nation and double what it was the previous year. More…

ICYMI – Mark Steyn’s Thoughts on JFK’s Hundredth Birthday

A former lover of Prince George, Duke of Kent introduced herself to young Jack as “a member of the British Royal Family by injection”. The line seemed fresh to him, as it might not have a quarter-century later were random showgirls and mob molls running around Vegas and Malibu introducing themselves as members of the Kennedy family by injection. He signed his letters from Harvard, “Stout-hearted Kennedy, despoiler of women.”   More…
