It’s always fun to bump into Steve. After watching his campaign last cycle and what is developing now, I believe that “Happy Warrior” is appropriate.

Master of Ceremonies – WNTK Radio Host Keith Hansen
Every event needs a Master of Ceremonies. And the CNHT’s Old Home Day for Conservatives needs one to keep the plethora of speakers (candidates, advocacy groups) in line and on time. This year, Keith Hansen of WNTK served in that capacity.

Former talk show host and current Manchester School Board member Rich Girard… Sidebar: RICH! RUN FOR RE-ELECTION!!! Now back to your regularly scheduled MicroInterview … was at CNHT’s Annual Picnic this past Saturday and was willing to talk with after he had addressed the assembled crowd inside.

Blogline of the Day: So, WHO got nuked???
I’m just watching the 6pm news now and glad to see that US Congressman Eric “Nuke Gun Owners who won’t give up their guns during my Administration” Swalwell (Progressive – CA) just got nuked big time by prospective voters. -Skip Eric Swalwell is a hyper-Progressive running for the 2020 Progressive Democrat presidential nomination. Running all … Read more
CNHT – The MicroInterviews: former Speaker of the NH House Bill O’Brien
In addition to the main podium speakers at Saturday’s CNHT Annual Picnic, I took the chance to wrangle a number of folks that I saw to go outside and do some quick interviews. Apologies for some of the quality issues – most of the times we had those thunderstorms passing overhead. I have learned that … Read more
“The Democrats’ Terrible State Budget”
Heh!
Yesterday, the NHGOP released a new ad highlighting the New Hampshire Democrat’s tax-increasing, unbalanced budget. The ad, titled “The Democrats’ Terrible Budget,” aired on WMUR yesterday and will appear on television throughout the coming weeks. The ad will also be carried on digital platforms.
CNHT Annual Picnic: Victoria Sullivan
Saturday was the Coalition of NH Taxpayers Annual Picnic (aka, “Old Home Day for Conservatives”) with a bunch of candidates and speakers from the conservative advocacy groups from around the State. I’m going to do this clip out of order simply because, well, she has some important documents to sign today; y’all ought to be … Read more
Notable Quote – George Will
It is, however, an iron law: The more government does to influence the flow of money, the more money will be spent to influence elections. -George Will ( The Conservative Sensibility) (H/T: Cafe Hayek) I’ve been saying a similar thing for years – when the stakes of holding the levers of Power go up, more money … Read more
And the Boston TEA Party gave us….the Betsy Ross Flag (among other things)
A cute little ditty on how America came to be… And the Betsy Ross flag, the flag that was about Independence and now the Socialists are trying to redefine it as a racist flag, was part of that process. You DO notice, don’t you, how everything about our Founding is now racist? That’s what this … Read more
No, not a newspaper – us instead!
Drew Cline got the “organization” right – just got the “newspaper” bit wrong. Oh, and add this, too: “Cameras at the State House”. See the bottom of this post for both as this is a bit long. The Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy just send out another email missive and while I agree with … Read more
Laconia, how did NH State Rep David Huot vote this year?
Not that it seems he’s blowing his own horn (gosh, I just can’t wonder why!), we’ll do it for him. And if you don’t like how the bill has been categorized (e.g., using the actual outcome of the bill instead of its official title) you can go here and look up each bill: In making … Read more
Democrat Proves That to Them The US Constitution has no Practical Significance
“Those people who are online making fun of members of Congress are a disgrace and there is no need for anyone to think that is unacceptable,” Wilson said during a press conference. “We are going to shut them down and work with whoever it is to shut them down, and they should be prosecuted.” Democrat Rep. Frederica … Read more
This is an example, Eco-Socialists, why I don’t believe your predictions
As I keep saying, over and over, I’ve been listening to the dire, dour, and repetitive predictions of all kinds of eco-apocalypses over the last 50 years. It started out as “WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE – ICE AGE IS COMING!” to “WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE – the earth is warming, the ice caps are melting, … Read more
Contrary to the Left, our Founders were anti-slavery.
Steve has covered Nike’s reversal of distributing their new Betsy Ross Flag draped sneakers simply on the say so of former 49’s quarterback and current SJW-in-residence’s say-so. Slavery he said. Gaslighting, I say. Two things are at play here: Continual attack on our history by the Left as being evil (and this should be forgotten … Read more
Data Point – Who is proud to be an American?
Democrats Continue to Express Low U.S. Pride The latest overall declines in patriotism are largely driven by Democrats, whose self-reported pride has historically been lower and has fluctuated more than Republicans’. Democrats’ latest 22% extreme pride reading is the group’s lowest in Gallup’s 19 years of measurement, and is half of what it was several months before … Read more
“America the Beautiful” by the Hillsdale College Choir
It is our country’s birthday today. Celebrate it and take a reverent moment or two to reflect on how good of a country we have been bequeathed by our Founders’ vision of exalting personal freedoms and liberties unlike any other country in history. I, for one, am thankful, to be in a country that has … Read more
Yep, this is what we learned from last week’s Democrat Presidential Debates
Funny, I really don’t think lilts off the tongue as well as the right one…not at all. (H/T: Union Leader) Speaking of which, here’s some of the stuff those candidates were coming up with that they think are NOT unconventional: Government Gun Confiscation Ban All Guns Except Guns No One Wants Jail People or False … Read more
A Bleg for Katlin Viar
I met Katlin Viar last week as she is transitioning from the RNC to the Trump Victory campaign staff and was curious about GraniteGrok. She is asking for a bit of help: I know this is the last minute – but I was wondering if you could reach out to your network for me. I … Read more
Evil Preaches Tolerance Until it Gets What it Wants. Example: China
The US Media hasn’t been covering it well, but there is an uprising in Hong Kong going on over Communist Chinese President Xi Jinping’s efforts to absorb the former British colony into the mainland China’s grip.
