As Pelosi and company back off any statement about Ilhan Omar her pal Rashida Tlaib is setting the table for conversations to come. Moving forward any remark about antisemitism directed at Muslims will be framed as Islamophobic.

Latest Standings in New Hampshire Digital Media
In mid-January GraniteGrok burst into fourth place, passing the Concord Monitor on the way there. With only the Union Leader, Fosters and SeacoastOnline still holding down the top three at the time. It is now March. Our daily traffic continues to climb, but our Alexa ranking has stalled. The Monitor has reclaimed its spot (for now – cue evil laughter). And GraniteGrok is back in 5th place with everyone else trailing.
“Free College” Resoundingly Rejected by New Hampshire Democrats – Guess Why?
Democrats like to talk about spending tax dollars to improve education. Mention college tuition and you’ll get an earful about how the State needs to invest more (of your money) to keep the price down. So why did New Hampshire Democrats just vote against Free College?
As NH Advances the Conscription of “Good Times” to Fill Its Tax Coffers
I don’t care if you want to smoke pot. I think the existing rules that allow small quantities and provide for medical access are great.

Martina Navratilova Takes Heat from “Her People” Over Transgender Athlete Remarks
A few weeks ago Martina Navritolova remarked on how women with penises had an unfair advantage in women’s sports. She called it insane and said it was cheating. I noted that there might be a price to pay for that and it has come due. Navratilova has had to apologize in part.
Democrats Bickering Over What to do About Ilhan Omar’s Antisemitism
Ilhan Omar’s latest “wrong turn” came when she said that pro-Israel advocates have allegiance to Israel. It’s an old trope. One that rubs plenty of Jews the wrong way regardless of political party.

ICYMI – The State Board of Tourism Takes “Or Die” Out of New Hampshire’s Live Free or Die Motto
Earlier this morning, tucked into an update on a separate issue, we reported something that I thought needed a bit more personal attention.

Instead of Live Free … Read more

Owner Jack Phillips of the Masterpiece cake shop won his case at the US Supreme Court. They found that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission (CCRC) was not all that civil. Not to him. No to his faith. But that didn’t stop the Commission from pursuing a second action, even after the SCOUT ruling.

Great Question: Why Would People Flee Socialist Utopias to Come to the US?
The Genesius Times bills itself as ‘The Most Reliable Source for Fake News on the Planet.” Parody with a purpose, I like to call it. Like this. “Millions risking lives to flee free healthcare and food for evil capitalist countries.” Experts are befuddled as to why refugees continue to pour in from socialist paradises like … Read more
A Look at the Post Trump-Kim Summit – And Why Trump Came Out Ahead

Merrimack Residents Scaremongering State to Set Ridiculous Standards for Drinking Water
I have to keep dipping into this well because the disinformation campaign won’t let it go. Merrimack had a PFOA contamination problem. People are right to want more information. But the campaign has descended into a circus as “residents” demand unrealistic and unnecessary regulatory standards.
