I get a lot of tips from readers and others but yesterday’s post (“Gunstock Mountain Resort – So this is what Tom Day, Rebecca LaPense, and Robin Rowe think of a large Gunstock Christian customer: SoulFest“) was obtained through an RSA 91:A Right To Know demand.

Gunstock Mountain Resort – Rusty McClear Wore Out His GAC Welcome. Now He’s Out.
Well, even though this controversy has been going on for quite some time, with great brouhaha over the last few weeks. Was McLear appointed for a five-year term or simply to fill out an existing one that was vacated?
Gunstock Mountain Resort – Do You Know What the Streisand Effect Is?
I’ve been doing some digging into Gunstock Mountain Resort (there, that should catch the attention of their Critical Mention service!) which is also known as the Gunstock Ski Area (or just plain “Gunstock”). While presenting themselves to the public as a “ski company”, they really are just a mere political subdivision of Belknap County which, … Read more
Notable Quote – Only Capitalism Puts the Individual Foremost. Everything Else Puts the State First
As Hayek frequently repeated, many intelligent and informed people of his day had been taken in by the claim that National Socialism was the next logical and historical phase of a collapsing capitalism.

Croydon School Board Meeting – How a Work Meeting Turned into a Rantfest
I have never seen anything like this and I’m probably never going to see this again. Thumbnail: At this past Saturday’s Town Meeting, the townfolk voted to HALF the School District Budget from $1.7 million to $800,000. Let that set in.
“Public Records Show Hanover Police Did Not Recommend That Dartmouth College Cancel the Andy NGO Event”
It seems like FIRE is being the junkyard dog with Dartmouth College (for canceling the Dartmouth College Republicans’ event with Andy Ngo) is its bone.
Palate Cleanser – Not Thinking Things through Enough…
I’m off doing some other related projects for GraniteGrok so I’m not writing much today but a loyal reader sent this in for some chuckles: Brad lives in California. He was sick of the world, of Covid-19,of Trump, Russian belligerence, China, global warming, racial tensions, and the rest of the disturbing stories that occupy media … Read more
Palate Cleanser – Well, It’s Not Quite a Real Star Wars Lightsaber but Still Pretty Cool!
A YouTuber in Russia has set a new world record for the first working, retractable lightsaber. The Star Wars-inspired technology uses white-hot elemental plasma, can run for up to 30 seconds at a time, and can even cut straight through steel. And even better: it’s mostly crafted from old, discarded parts. In January, Guinness World Records … Read more
Gunstock Area Commission Special Meeting – The Anti-climatic Part: The Vote
So, as newly appointed Commissioner Strang pointed out, we saw the fireworks about Rusty McClear’s untenable situation on continuing as a Gunstock Area Commissioner (the term he was appointed to ran out months ago).
Friday Open Thread on Saturday – oops!
It’s not that I’ve got nuttin’. Rather, I’m overloaded and can’t keep up. So I missed the time. So here it is. Your thread – fill it up with what’s on your minds!
Belknap County Republican Committee – Keynote Speaker: NH State Rep Tim Baxter
So much to do and so little time in which to get it done. This past Wednesday, March 9th, was the monthly meeting of the BCRC at the Gilford (NH) Library. There, NH State Rep Tim Baxter spoke to the attendees.
Gunstock Area Commissioners Kiedaisch and McClear Are like the Gilford School Board – Refuse to Follow the Law
This morning was a special meeting of the Gunstock Ski Area (Gilford, NH) Commissioners (“GACs”) with the agenda item of approving an expenditure of $63,000 that would be a down payment on the $225,000 HVAC update.
So Michael Graham of NH Journal, Hit Piece Much?
That’s the quick conclusion when I read the title of his hit post on Karoline Leavitt:
Notable Quote – Blame It on the Democrats That Blacks Can’t Spel
If the Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan wanted to sabotage black academic excellence, he could not find a more effective means to do so than the government school system in most cities. -Prof. Walter Williams (Black Americans and liberty) Doubt him? If you are angry at that, or the title, start reviewing the … Read more
Hey, NH Democrats! Do You Condone What Your NY Brethren’s Gerrymandering?
How come NH Democrats are not calling them out this sort of thing like they do Republicans? You know, the gerrymandering. All I keep hearing is that a political operation is supposed to be non-political.
So, the CDC Just Manufactured Some Education Inflation?
This is personal. We lived this problem with the Grandson right from his get-go. Developmentally delayed –
Notable Quote – Why Should We Die for Ukraine?
Emphasis mine: “…No, we’ve sacrificed enough to the foreign policy screw-ups of Ivy League incompetents.”
“A 40% Fatherless Nation?”
This post by Terence Jeffrey at the Daily Signal caught my eye a while ago – I just couldn’t cram it into my schedule at the time as it takes time to reflect upon its message and how it is adding to the crumbling of our traditional norms.
Sununu’s Latest Circuit Court Pick is Not All That Interested in Government Transparency
A Democrat from Bedford, Shaughnessy, is being boosted by NH Governor Chris Sununu for the Circuit Court. Who knows what the heck is going on in Baby Huey’s head.
