Governor Sununu has nominated his Attorney General, Gordon MacDonald, to replace retiring Supreme Court Chief Justice Robert Lynn. Lynn was the closest thing to a judicial conservative on the Supreme Court. There are unmistakable signs that MacDonald is not. First, let’s define judicial conservative. A judicial conservative is a completely different animal from a judicial liberal … Read more
So I saw this tweet from NHPR (which should be NHDR as in New Hampshire Democrat Radio) this morning: Other “press” have described it the same way, as have the bill’s (HB 706) supporters. They are NOT telling the truth. Here is how the members of the commission are chosen: 662-B:2 Eligibility to Serve on … Read more
So last week, a single Superior Court Judge decided he was the State’s Education-Czar and implicitly ordered -while, of course, claiming he was doing no such thing- the State to -at a minimum- triple spending on public education … which would require a massive expansion in spending by State government (at least an additional $1.6 … Read more
Governor Sununu recently vetoed HB 365, which raises the Solar-Subsidy Tax. Here is part of his veto-message: I probably disagree with Sununu more often than I agree with him. But he is absolutely right about HB 365. Here is a pithy summary of how the subsidy -which is euphemistically called “net metering”- works: Forty-three states … Read more
This: Actually I beat Boston-Jimbo to the punch: But the point is this: There is no way that Ray Buckley is going to let a straight, white male -never mind a straight white male who supports an income tax- be his Party’s nominee in 2020. While Buckley may come across as a deranged, drunken misogynist … Read more
From the Washington Examiner: The influential Koch network is open to backing Democrats in the 2020 election cycle. A memo from Emily Seidel, the CEO of Americans for Prosperity, the Koch brothers’ political organization, said the group would “support the primary election of lawmakers, regardless of political party, who stick their necks out to lead diverse … Read more
This: President Trump announced America’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accords on June 1, 2017: “…as of today the United States will cease all implementation of the non-binding Paris Accord and the draconian financial and economic burdens the agreement imposes on our country. This includes ending the implementation of the nationally determined contribution and, very … Read more
Dear Mr. Attorney General: The Nashua School Board is preventing its staff and students from accessing GraniteGrok.com. If you haven’t already read about it, you can read all about it HEREand HERE. To state the obvious, GraniteGrok.com is being censored by the Nashua School Board for political reasons: Why block us? There has to be … Read more
This: Senator Jeannie by using the phrase “turn back the clock” after “banned same-sex adoption” makes it sound -and I think is intentionally trying to give the impression- that the President is trying to ban adoptions by same-sex couples. If you read the article Jeannie linked to you will not find any support for what … Read more
This: The last time somebody was executed in New Hampshire was 1939. The only person affected by repealing the statutory death penalty is a convicted cop-killer, whom nobody argues was falsely convicted. Contrast this to the real death penalty that takes place probably daily in New Hampshire. The most permissive abortion laws in the country. … Read more
This: Is a total LIE. As explained by Rep. Dan Crenshaw: And just as SHAMEFUL as Annie Kuster gleefully LYING to the voters is that none of the so-called “press” in New Hampshire has held her accountable. The reason for that is that the “press” in New Hampshire are actually Democrat operatives posing as reporters, … Read more
This breathless tweet from Democrat operative -oops, I mean WMUR crack political reporter- Johnny DiStaso: In the underlying article, DiStaso writes: In a statement to WMUR, Volinsky said, “A slim majority of the New Hampshire Supreme Court decided last year that the Executive Council has a role in advising the governor with respect to vetoes. … Read more
This: The “Young” (I suppose that it is a sign of the times that “young” means up to 40 years old) Democrats subsequently deleted this tweet. But it speaks volumes about the Mayor Joyce campaign. If you dare question Mayor Joyce’s narrative that she has personally turned Manchester into Disneyland from the Tijuana that it … Read more
From the #DyingPaper, sometimes alternatively referred to as the Union Leader: Republicans and Democrats in the state Legislature have struck a deal on legislation to create an independent redistricting commission to redraw electoral district maps after the 2020 census. … Republican Sen. James Gray of Rochester and Democratic Rep. Marjorie Smith of Durham unveiled the … Read more
I wrote this back in September, 2017: Ray Buckley -Chairman of the New Hampshire Democrat Party- was recently taken to task, and deservedly so, for referring to disaffected voters who might be inclined to vote for President Trump as “white supremacists.” WMUR had interviewed Matt Braynard, the executive director of Look Ahead America, an organization … Read more
It has been well documented that Joe Biden’s campaign announcement was based on a lie. From Breitbart: What Biden said is completely untrue, as the transcript of Trump’s press conference about Charlottesville shows. Trump was referring to protesters against the removal of a statue of Confederate general Robert E. Lee, as well as to non-violent left-wing protesters … Read more
This: This obviously is viewpoint discrimination because, to show you one example, this Leftist troll account is not blocked: Just as New Hampshire Democrats do not really believe in the Second Amendment, they do not believe in the First Amendment. I am sure that many GOP State Reps regularly read Granite Grok. It will be … Read more
This: Rep. Omar described an act of terrorism on American soil that took thousands of innocent American lives as “some people did something.” She has been rightly called out by people from both parties for trivializing 9/11. Notice, however, that Liddle Chris Pappas while saying we must “never forget” does not call Omar out for … Read more
This: As I discussed in a previous post, Thomas ran for State Rep as a non-partisan whose focus was clean water. She did not run on creating a capital gains tax or a payroll tax or any of the other new taxes and fees she and her fellow Democrats passed. It is bad enough that … Read more
This: What a bunch of bull. First of all, absent a real statewide municipal spending cap -which is long overdue as “local control” has become a punch line- there is nothing stopping the municipality from treating the “revenue sharing” as “free money” and spending it on top of whatever they would have spent without the … Read more
