Massachusetts loses in new EU Trade Deal "The EU commits to buying $750B worth of US LNG" MA opposition to new NG pipelines, forces state to depend on LNG imports rather than cheaper domestic NG from nearby shale fields in PA. MA, pays about 30% more for NG than US avg,…
Homeownership rates make Massachusetts (63%) more attractive than New York (53%) and California (55%).
The AG's actions against Trump only make it worse for Massachusetts taxpayers. Federal and private money will not be coming to MA to fuel manufacturing onshoring and AI growth. Massachusetts has already fallen to #49 for JOB GROWTH. (12 mo moving average as of June 2025)
This historical image captures a Fourth of July weekend scene at Nantasket Beach, Massachusetts, around 1925... 🇺🇸 On a sun-drenched Fourth of July weekend in the 1920s, Nantasket Beach in Hull, Massachusetts, became a living postcard of postwar American leisure. The narrow…
Boston under Mayor Wu and Governor Healey 55% less BUILDING PERMITS than four years ago 35% more LISTINGS than four years ago A strong signal of economic slowdown and an urgent need for change.
30% of MA is enrolled in Medicaid Compared to 24% in CO, and 22% in NJ and MN All are Top 10 Healthy States (USNews) Therefore, Massachusetts has 500,000 additional Medicaid enrollees, with no corresponding positive impact on population health outcomes.
34% of the people in Trahan's district are enrolled in Medicaid compared to 16% in New Hampshire, just over the border. Cut the bloat and abuse to preserve the program for whom it was intended. Like the disabled.
Greater Boston STILL has not recovered all PRE-COVID jobs Metro NYC not only recovered but has added 2.5% more jobs U.S. has added 4.9% on average (BLS, June 2025)
Healey increases state government while businesses compete with less. Patrick increased govt from 1,800 to 1,976 state employees/100K pop. Baker got it back down to 1,800! Yet, despite fiscal challenges, Healey adds 6% (7,400) more employees and hands out raises?
Beware that ICE has been spotted removing below-market labor.
Massachusetts friends in the North Shore. Beware that ICE has been spotted at Home Depot in Salem and Danvers!
Small businesses are the backbone of the 🇺🇸 economy and the apple of the consumer's eye. Trusted > church, police, the military or college. 𝕏 marks the spot where entrepreneurial startups, Mom & Pop & Mainstreet can reach directly to an audience that thinks local & acts loyal
Progressive Democrat policies impede the American idea if they prioritize collective outcomes over individual liberty or create dependency. Massachusetts Democratic Trifecta has strayed from the covenant’s focus on self-governance and limited state intervention.
I take some pleasure in explaining to everyone here what the "Dissident Right" culture warriors eagerly mislead people about: America is, in fact, based upon an idea. That idea is simple: free people are capable of governing themselves such that prosperity follows. Americans,…

Sanctuary cities prioritize protecting criminals and lawbreakers over protecting law-abiding Americans. That is wrong. And it’s illegal. On her first day, @AGPamBondi made it a priority for this Department of Justice to take enforcement actions against sanctuary cities.…
every single top-tier institution in academia is complicit in this every one of them has either turned a blind eye or actively supported it the rot runs to the root and there is no excuse
Leave the suburbs alone! Median 1-Bdr rent: City of Boston, MA - $2,600 City of Providence, RI - $1,500
Providence, RI (rents down 19%) proves pro-housing policies work. Streamlining permits, easing restrictions, and allowing multifamily developments = lower rents.
So much to love at the western end of Route 20. Newport, OR. Corvallis, OR. Bend, OR. Boise, ID. Idaho Falls, ID. Island Park, ID. Yellowstone National Park. Cody, WY. Thermopolis, WY. Casper, WY.

In Q3 2024, Massachusetts had over 5,000 more businesses contracting (i.e. reducing their employment) than expanding. Except for the 2020 lockdown, this was the largest quarterly downsizing in 16 years since Q1 2009. There have been five consecutive quarters where the…
