Bush campaigned on … Read more

Last night I received a call from NH State Rep Harry Bean – my representative, former member of the Budget Committee, and a sponsor of my bill, HB576 which is meant to be a technical fix to RSA32, the Municipal Budget Law.

I first saw this over at, naturally, Treehugger where all kinds of “just shake your head at it” stuff comes up. I predict this is going to be an awful thing and the only thing that will have “Rights” in the end will be the Lawyer Class (reformatted, emphasis mine): A triumphant win for Toledo residents … Read more
…he may get it with this: Weld, in a statement, responded, “I am happy to tell her what millions of her own party are thinking. ‘This guy’ has been the most destructive and divisive president in the history of our nation. ‘This guy’ has demeaned Americans from every walk of life, including women, the disabled … Read more
At $67,625 per year (after taxes) for an average salary, that’s not too shabby. The problem is that when Democrats see this, they immediately say “WE are a rich State; we should spend it”. And there the fallacy lies – they immediately see only the collective, as if all that wealth belongs to said collective, State … Read more

Our standard of measure (an engineering term that Gov. Sununu should know well) here at GraniteGrok includes the NH Constitution. SB241 is yet another attempt to implement a 19th-century technology, a choo-choo train, for the benefit of a very few at the expense of very many. And of course, they are at it again with a … Read more
Gorka, speaking at the CPAC conference in National Harbor, Md., on Thursday, said the Democrats’ Green New Deal is: “a watermelon,” because it’s “green on the outside” and “deep, deep red communist on the inside. According to the amazing Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, they did a poll last year in which they found that 52 … Read more
We had quite a bit of reaction to Tom’s post: The Red Pen Governor (reformatted): The liberty and freedom we’ve enjoyed in New Hampshire is under direct attack. And it’s the worst it has ever been. Fresh off their November election wins, Democrats fired up their campaign to restrict rights and grow government. And, unfortunately, they control the … Read more
Well, we did cover the NH GOP Convention where both a new Chair and Vice-Chair were chosen: Steve Stepanek and Pam Tucker. Did an interview with Steve at the end of that gathering and my take away was that things were going to be different. Given that I’m on most political email distros in the … Read more
I ran across this post by Joshua Rabotnick over at PJ Media and at first I thought it was well written and worthy of one of those rare times where I just put up the entire post as it “speaks for itself” on its own without any commentary. However, as I read through it, even after … Read more
In just over a decade and a half, Democrats have gone from “safe, legal, and rare abortions” to “kill ’em all and don’t stop when they’re born.” Many of us warned that the first slogan would lead eventually to the second. We take no pleasure in our vindication. From US Senator Jeanne Shaheen (DS*-NH) overriding … Read more
Heh! As I say all the time, decisions have consequences. This is a GOOD one! (H/T: Izismile)
Sure, a lot of the men that were targeted deserved to be targeted and they took the Perp Walk of Shame all saying they’d learn from this, grow from this, and go after the NRA as penitence (yeah, what else would you expect given that the guilty were Hollywood based. The Feminists, especially Third Wavers, … Read more
