We’re back for another round of heavy hitters. These are the posts that got the most attention which means the most unique page hits in February 2018.
News about the Windham School Board Transgender bathroom policy captured three spots in this February top-ten. Republicans voting for income taxes, the Florida Shooting, and the Death of Sen. Sam Cataldo also made the cut.
I’m joined by Skip Murphy to discuss GranitGrok.com’s rapid rise in reach since the beginning of the year and how we are finally living up to the tagline I convinced him to put on the home page several years ago. “Dominating the Political Bandwidth in New Hampshire.” Find more ways to listen on the blog page … Read more

Nationally funded Progress Now’s local left-wing affiliate, Granite State Progress, is promoting an event on Facebook called ‘Keep Guns Out Of Schools.’ No, they don’t mean “keep criminals with guns” out of schools. In fact, they are advocating for precisely the opposite. They are rallying support for a floor amendment to SB 357 that would allow local school boards to advertise to criminals that their schools as soft-targets.

“This zine specifically features and promotes black and brown lgbtqa creatives,” the description states. “We hope to showcase our talent and create an open space for our voices to be heard.”
New Hampshire congressional district two Republican candidate Steve Negron has announced a series of interactive online Facebook-Live forums where voters can ask Steve questions about the issues.
“I am incredibly excited about launching our online Facebook forum, which will be an important tool in my continued efforts to talk with voters about the issues impacting them and their families.”
The schedule is described as ‘dynamic’ so we’ll have to wait and see how often or how many facebook live forums the voters in CD-2 will get with Steve Negron but to the best of my knowledge no other Republican candidate in that race is making themselves this accessible or using social media for live interactions with voters.

Government interference and progressive policy have suffered a massive blow in the wake of the Parkland shooting. What’s the government’s go-to response? Fix background checks, and they’ve already got the bill.
The Republican Fix NICS bill (supported by Schumer and Feinstein) will (among other unconscionable things) empower any federal agency in the executive branch to prohibit you on a whim from exercising your second amendment rights.
Former NH Speaker of the House, Bill O’Brien, the gift that keeps on giving!
Remember when The Coalition of New Hampshire Taxpayers gave Bill O’Brien the “Golden Hammer Award” for his successful effort in preventing an income tax by erasing the Democrat $800 million deficit? Kudos to Republican conservatives as well.
Check out Bill O’Brien’s latest accomplishment.

Daniel Horowitz is ringing an alarm bell with the help or Republican Rep. Thomas Massie.
When Congress passed national reciprocity, it also passed Fix NICS legislation. At the time Rep. Massie warned that in the US Senate, as soon as there was another shooting, Senate Republicans would drop reciprocity and bring Fix NICS to the floor. When it got back to the House, Leadership would say, you passed this before…and that’s what they are doing.
A few Senators have stepped up to slow the cramming of this attack on your right to self-defense down our throats, but we only have a few days.
I love it when liberals embrace the power and risk of private business ownership.
The Used Apple Store posted to its Facebook page on Monday that the company will refuse services to those affiliated with the Republican party. How can they tell which customers are Republican? Well, they just know, store owner Billy Williams told NH1 on Tuesday.
The Used Apple Store refusing service is a form of a protest against what the Republican Party stands for, he said.
“Well, they just know?”
The House Finance Committee had a work session on the HB 628, which implements an income tax under cover of a scheme to provide “state-funded” Family Medical Leave Insurance (FMLI) for short-term disability coverage. The progressives on both sides just want the taxing authority and but their mule of choice is a fiscal and administrative disaster.

Remember that thing in Lebanon, NH, where a left-wing candidate was expected to pander to the progressive base on gun control? He did. And it’s hard to tell, but it doesn’t look like too many people bothered to show up to listen, but the Valley News managed three sentences worth of reporting. Here’s the first one. The other … Read more
The Trans-Bill is back (HB 1319) as Kimberly Morin joins me to talk about the legislation, how it threatens actual rights, violates women’s privacy, carves out special exceptions, and why we don’t even need it. You can find other ways to listen here.
Open borders policies provide drug cartels with conduits for Heroin and Fentanyl. DACA (inadvertently?) provides armies of young adults for gang recruitment. And sanctuary cities (and states) give cartels and illegals working for them more room to operate.
Jessica Vaughn from the Center for Immigration Studies explains.
The following companies caved to liberal pressure by blaming the NRA because the NRA is something the left can blame. Lord knows you can’t blame all those bits and pieces of government that failed. The state and federal safety net the progressives insist are more than adequate after they disarm us.
They actually mean “enough to protect them from us,” but that’s a story for another day.
Here’s the list of companies that have dropped NRA deals (so far):
*Delta Air Lines: The company axed discounted rates for NRA members.
