Skip I have the abridged Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals here. They worked very well for the Left for a long time – both Hillary and Obama were accolytes of his methods. One thing, though, is that they are only tactics (and yes, they work for us on the Right as well). What was the intent, the … Read more
Another update of how little the NH Democrats value the ordinary NH citizens’ vote – not at all. What else can one say when their very legislation and votes say “Y’all come in; we know you’re going to vote for us!”; how Democrats in the NH House of Representatives voted – through May 8 99% … Read more
“Actually, the town has MADE it their issue.“ Tonite was the organizational meeting for the Budget Committee – and the last year of my last term per my promise to TMEW (The Most Esteemed Wife). Pretty much a time to quickly review the minutes of the last meeting, vote for Chair and Vice-Chair, and sign … Read more
Idiots all. Laconia, NH has had a dying “downtown” for decades. They did an “urban renewal” in an attempt to bring in more shoppers. They even built a parking structure where they could leave their cars in order to visit the local shops. Thus far, the only constant is an ever circling set of shops … Read more
So from this Op-Ed by Bill O’Brien on Trump’s Trade actions, one of our regular commentors left this (reformatted, emphasis mine): Where I work, we’ve been told we will not get raises this year because of the tariffs impacting the bottom line. they also said that the upcoming election was part of it. I asked “why … Read more
Yep, that’s right – Liz McConnell ran and won in an R+5 district (just call it a high Republican district – Brentwood). The question is, how did she do it? How could someone that is a hard Left Progressive Democrat win an a district that is overwhelmingly Republican? I can think of only two ways … Read more
The Winnipesaukee GOP Committee has recently reconstituted itself. Given that I’m just on the other side of the Big Lake, I figure that I’d saunter up and listen to what Bill O’Brien, one of the speakers, had to say: Note to self: dark room, need to put my LED light panels in the truck for … Read more
Developing: I was sent a tip about what was seen in the Manchester Police log yesterday. I actually found a couple more log events than what I had received – and look at Event #4: 9 NOTRE DAME AVE MAN: @WEST HIGH SCHOOL P19053201 ASSAULT 05/14/2019 11:57 <snip> 9 NOTRE DAME AVE MAN: @WEST HIGH … Read more

Tomorrow is Town Meeting Day in Peterborough and one of the hot items is Article 15. That is part and parcel of the kerfuffle that’s going on in town as the movement known as New Urbanism is taking hold – a function of the Progressive movement that, simply put, is to “rack’em and stack’em” in … Read more
As many of you know, Twitter locked our account: So yes, I finally hit the REMOVE button that Twitter imposed upon us. As soon as we did, they unlocked our account. However, the ONLY reason I did so (after making it clear I wouldn’t) is to find out where the “Twitter Red Line” is; we’re … Read more
See, I promised that we wouldn’t forget Eric “The Silencer” Turer of Brentwood. Remember, he’s the guy that spoke to the Brentwood Selectmen a bit ago with a full head of steam on censoring the all-volunteer monthly Brentwood Newsletter simply because they had the temerity to actually do REAL journalism – putting up NH State … Read more
Think that’s the first time I’ve ever seen anyone compared to stripped down cow juice… (H/T: Powerline)
So in all this, Kimberly Houghton who is the Union Leader reporter that wrote about this “Rich Girard smear-a-like political stunt” (the Conservative Manchester School Board member earlier accused of “identifying” a student even as GraniteGrok outed her as having outed herself on Manchester Ink in a public Op-Ed) against Nashua School Board Doris Hohensee. … Read more
Ouch: BTW: Planned Parenthood kills about 330,000 babies every year. Number of children the NRA has killed: zero Note the regular and typical Progressive / Democrat ad hominem reasoning: “RACIST!”. Note to Progressives – now that you’ve called everyone that isn’t a Progressive that term, it means nothing at all. Just like homophobic, xenophobic, misogynist, … Read more
Slow starter? I am surprised, however, that his current poll numbers are twice that of his nearest Democrat competitor in the 2020 Presidential campaign, given that his previous attempts have been only 1-2%. Has he become all that good, or are his competitors really that bad in comparison? Fifty years though???? (H/T: Powerline)
Congratulations – you have brought both us and the Streisand Effect upon yourself (and we’ll start looking into Eric Turer as well). Yes, we may well end up “raising your profile” but doubtful in the way you think you might want. So, let’s circle back on your latest votes, shall we? And JUST because you … Read more
Embarrassing questions with ridiculous answers – until almost the very last student being question: That last student? Yeah, college math – not so much. Even below “Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez standard” – that MUST take a lot of college courses to reach that level. (H/T: The Blaze)
The actual title is “Ethics or Bigotry? Lawyers Say They Would Report Clients For Legally Owned Gun”. And yes, I got reported. From the post (reformatted, emphasis mine): Imagine losing your gun rights because your attorney violated attorney-client privilege to report you to police because he/she believes that your carry license makes you “dangerous.” How would … Read more
UPDATE: OK, 10 students X $2000/student means $20,000 is needed. The Go Fund Me page, after 3 days, is at $1,995. I guess somebody will get out of jail. Other nine? Have a restful night and wonder what this will do for your job prospects in other than being a Democrat Operative. ********* Democrats all, … Read more
