The latest University of New Hampshire’s Free-Speech ranking from FIRE is unimpressive. Even lousy. But my expectations were always low. It was never a bastion of First Amendment Rights, and it has – in truth – had a few speech scandals that went nationwide with our help. I’ve also taken FIRE to task in the past for … Read more
Democrats in Congress refused to denounce socialism. Only 8 democrats voted with Republicans to condemn it. All of those are in competitive races, so they couldn’t vote the way they wanted, or they might lose their seat. In other words, a congressional Democrat near you, including the aspiring Dems running against every Republican incumbent, sides … Read more
I have done more than my due diligence to expose the cadre of dark-side anti-AI influence surrounding the data center debate. What I have yet to do, and am rectifying today, is talk about the people and money on the pro-AI side. It is only fair that you know who is paying for the positive … Read more

One of my superfans sent me a link to a conversation on WMUR between Fred Kocker and Brad Reynolds. The topic? “How New Hampshire ranks last in the U.S. for state support of public education with property taxpayers anteing up $7 of every $10 of cost.” The headline really sells it, though. “The Granite State … Read more
The Democrats have nothing to run on except the impossible, unicorn-like notion that if you elect them this time, they will do the opposite of everything they’ve ever done. No Democrat is going to make your life cost less; they are going to raise taxes and impose more regulations. No Democrat is going to reduce … Read more
TL;DR: Two months ago, I warned New Hampshire about what it needs to do to end homelessness. Stop subsidizing it. Get the government out of funding entirely and instead look at incentives that encourage private funding. [W]e don’t want anyone to be homeless unless that’s how they choose to live, which no one ever measures. … Read more

I re-register my LLC with the Secretary of State at the beginning of the year. January first. The first day of the year. I make sure the trade name is still in good standing, and the SoS typically emails me a confirmation, or I can check the website and see the words Grok Media LLC … Read more
The left might appreciate the accomplishment more if President Trump hadn’t named it after himself. That goes for Trump plans (which is putting egg on the face of proglodytes who bitch about corporations that are doing obscene amounts for the plans for the kids of their employees). But it’s called Trump plans. We can’t (say … Read more
A point I don’t see mentioned often enough when monthly jobs reports come out is that these are real jobs. Past Administrations have used tax dollars to grow government and then crow about how many “jobs” they created. Real jobs add value, while Government jobs are net drags on the economy, so their creation ought … Read more
I hope you’re not tired of the Lindsey Clancy memes and commentary yet, because despite the hung jury and mistrial, the defense argument still stands as the reason it went down that way. And a lot of people were paying attention. The feminists came out to defend her, arguing she can’t be held criminally accountable. … Read more
You don’t have to look far to find memes or a comment about a judge who let a career criminal go for the umpteenth time, only to repeat or escalate, typically something awful like slashing a girl’s throat or lighting her on fire. The same political culture that allows that happens to be the one … Read more
On more than one occasion, I have shared my process. I get something or find something, and it interests me enough to leave a tab open. Most of them end up closed or shelved, while some hang out in that browser window like the misfit toys in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Quite often, a clicked … Read more
Rebecca Harned (never heard of her) is running as a Democrat for the New Hampshire State Senate. The Beccster is also, apparently, loaded and has multiple homes, which has complicated her residency claims to run for office in the Granite State. Harned’s campaign claims that she “returned home to New Hampshire” in 2017. She also … Read more
Yet The Second Circuit Court of Appeals has tossed out a suit from teachers claiming their 1st and 14th Amendment rights were violated when the administration, supported by the school board, told them they had to take their gay flags down. Mark me surprised by the background details. First, some kids felt uncomfortable in the … Read more

Remember the halcyon days of the TEA Party movement. It was so organic that the left lost its mind. They called it astroturf, even using the IRS to suppress it before the 2012 elections. And they tried to astroturf their own version. And threaded throughout, and ever since, there have been accusations that people who … Read more
I can’t tell you how much joy it brings me to see Stefany Shaheen struggling in her Democratic primary for NH CD1. Somehow she managed to take a name known statewide (Her mom was a State Senator, Governor, and US Senator) and make it mean less. Maura Sullivan, equally awful, but not a rhetorical member … Read more
The proglodytes have been creating victim classes to divide people in pursuit of political power, but that’s not the worst thing they’ve done or will do, and the word victim is key. Women. Remember when the Democrats were ranting about the war on women and binders full of women, and then they not only invited … Read more
