Skip’s Sauntering Snippets Podcast #4 – It’s the Degraded Culture, Stupnagel!

April 22, 2022 Skip

I do watch the Sunday morning political talk shows even if they are quite Progressive in outlook even as they insist that they are solidly in the middle. That’s because they are of a hive mind, soaked in their own intellectual/ideology social strata that has hardly anyone Right of center asked to be at their … Read more

April 22, 2022April 21, 2022 Skip

Mike already put up James OKeefe’s presentation at the 603 Alliance luncheon at The Concord Hotel. I also had cameras rolling there and I’ll put the videos at the bottom of the post (re: side shots of his speech with my Mevo cameras).

“If It’s Happening in My Town, It’s Happening in Yours (Even If a Bit Sideways)” – Barrington’s Treatment of 2A Tactical

April 21, 2022 Skip

Once again, we may be seeing another instance of a “good ole boy” network deciding to use its muscle against an outside for some, as yet, unknown reason, or for some political reason.

The “They Totally Restructure the Gunstock Ski Area Because Their Preferred Candidates Keep Losing “Crap Show” “

April 20, 2022April 20, 2022 Skip

Well, yesterday was the hearing that showed that there was no “reclaiming” of Gunstock Mountain Resort (“GMR”) being done – merely a political play by Gary Kiedaisch and the “NH State Rep Tim Lang’s gang”.

Seems Like the Answer Is Yes! (So Are Laconia Chair Aaron Hayward and Superintendent Steve Tucker Making Jackasses of Themselves?)”

April 20, 2022 Skip

UPDATE before publishing: While it seems that Superintendent Steve Tucker was piously wearing a mask during tonite’s Laconia School Board meeting (according to a caller tonite after said meeting), I can tell you that he was MASKLESS while I was at the SAU30 office today. Hypocrisy much, Super Steve?

Skip’s Sauntering Snippets #3 – Are Republican candidates finally engaging in the Culture War? After all, if you only yammer about taxes all the time, you’re missing the boat – and the votes!

New! Skip’s Sauntering Snippets Podcast #2 – It’s Almost Tax Day So Why Doesn’t Everyone Have to Shell Out?

April 18, 2022 Skip

Tax Day is normally April 15th and I have a question: why doesn’t everyone have to put in their fair share? EVERYONE should be a contributor and not divide the country into Makers and Takers.

They Lost Their Political Hold on the Gunstock Area Commission and They Are Pissed!

April 17, 2022 Skip

HB1397 should be labeled “Kiedaisch Reclaiming His Power” or the complete repudiation of the “Citizens for Gunstock” ads that said we needed to “get politics out of Gunstock”?

NEW! Skip’s Sauntering Snippets Podcast – So, NH Gov Chris Sununu Wants Govt to Take Over The Housing Market?

April 17, 2022April 17, 2022 Skip

Hey, I need to better make use of my time; what better way than using driving time? New phone (Samsung S22 Ultra) with “an assistant” that is hands-free with my headset, a new phone car mount, spare driving time – and always lots of opinions.

Friday Open Thread – I Really Wish “Tax Day” Was November 1st

April 15, 2022 Skip

I’m sitting here wrapping up doing taxes. You know, let the 50% of people who DO pay taxes

2020 Senatorial Campaign: Kevin Smith

April 14, 2022 Skip

I haven’t done much to capture candidates across the State this cycle. For the most part, I’ve let them come to me (not going out as much with a young family in the form of the Grandson). But last night?

DISQUS Doodlings: “EAT THE RICH” – There’s Always a Problem with Going after the Richest 1%

April 14, 2022 Skip

Back to Treehugger and Lloyd’s post, “Individual Actions Can Reduce Emissions Up to 70%, Says IPCC Report.” Where two Liberty-minded folks (such thorns in their socialist sides) decide to zero in on another part of Lloyd’s outing of himself.

DISQUS Doodlings – Is It Individual Action or Government? Throw in Some DavosSpeak Goals as Well and Get A Mess

April 13, 2022 Skip

My head hurts and it isn’t even Grokster Ian that wrote this. At least with his writing, it’s cogent and thoughtful – the headaches come from that he forces you to think orthogonal / sideways from your normal thought patterns. However, this post from Treehugger is none of this.
