And now we’re back to the Scott Dunn Monument to Economic Illiteracy (otherwise known as the Gilford Recycling Center) – Part 2

June 29, 2020 Skip

Well, I’m not letting the speed of return responses from my Right To Know requests get the better of me yet although I AM pleased that they aren’t being slow rolled. To recap, what I asked for: Revenues to date for this fiscal year (GL account line item for the last budget process: 01-3404-917) Fees … Read more

Synthetic DNA Nanopores Hold Great Potential for Disease Research

June 29, 2020 Guest Contributor

James Watson and Francis Crick’s identification of the double helix structure of DNA in 1953 gave rise to the field of molecular biology as we know it today. Since their discovery, modern molecular biologists have been expanding upon our knowledge about this once-elusive source of the genetic code. Today, thanks to enormous advancements in technology, … Read more

DESSA, Social Sentinel – RSA 91-A Right To Know demand – student and personal data – Part 2

June 29, 2020June 29, 2020 Skip

This was a more lengthy Right To Know I sent to SAU 73 Superintendent Kirk Beitler than what I sent to our Town Clerk / Tax Collector (and modeled after Grokster Ann Marie’s one to SAU 16 Superintendent David Ryan). And answer he did.

OK, now we have the last RSA 91-A Right To Know demand of the day – Same Day Voter Registration – Part 3

June 29, 2020 Skip

In response to getting her email back, I had this: From: Skip <Skip@granitegrok.com> Sent: Friday, June 26, 2020 11:07 AM To: Danielle Lafond <dlafond@gilfordnh.org> Subject: Re: 91-A Right to Know Hi Danielle, Please, call me Skip and not Mr. Murphy. That makes me feel older than when I look at the ongoing color change of … Read more

What NH can learn from CA

June 29, 2020 Ian Underwood

Strange as it is to say that New Hampshire can learn something from California, the people of Santa Cruz recently put on a clinic regarding a lesson that we desperately need to learn here.

What will Establishment Republicans do Next to Protect Their Ever-Smaller Hive?

June 29, 2020

Here is one way the fake pollsters benefit from rigging their formulas to the desired outcome. A poll showing senile Joe Biden leading by 15 points gives establishment Republicans and anti-Trump campaign “experts” a golden opportunity to spout off.

Iran Issues Arrest Warrant for Donald Trump – Asks Interpol to Issue ‘Red Notice’

June 29, 2020 Steve MacDonald

The Islamic Republic of Iran has issued an arrest warrant for Donald Trump for the murder of General Qassem Soleimani. He is also accused of ‘terrorist action’ along with 35 others.

Get Involved PAC Fundraising Tailgate Draws Huge Crowd

June 29, 2020 Op-Ed

Over 300 attendees, including most major candidates for office in New Hampshire, attended the first major post-COVID GOP fundraising event this month, which happened to coincide with D-Day’s 75th-anniversary. Jess and Naomi Edwards, of Auburn, host an annual “tailgate” fundraising event for the Get Involved PAC in their backyard. All Republican candidates and activists are … Read more

Blogline of the Day – Giving the Babylon Bee a Run for its Money

June 29, 2020June 29, 2020 Skip

Satire is starting to be a losing gig – the events of the day are often “worse” or at least outdo anything that the Babylon Bee or The Onion (two widely known satire sites dealing with politics and culture). Don’t think that either one of them can beat this.

This Latest Tantrum (Like Every one Before It) Is About Ideological Purity And Nothing Else

June 29, 2020June 29, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Everything the left does has one goal—ideological purity. BLM, race, gender, hate speech, diversity, and Human Rights councils, it is all a smokescreen. This latest tantrum is no exception. It has one purpose, and that is not police reform.

RSA 91:a Right to Know demand – relative to obeying State Statute on SB2 Budget Committees – Part 2

June 29, 2020June 29, 2020 Skip

I had previously issued a number of Right To Know demands of Gilford’s Budget Committee, Selectmen, Town Clerk/Tax Collector, and School Board. Surprisingly, I have heard from all of them and all within the five business day requirement. Nice. First one up is the one I sent to the BudComm Chair as I hadn’t seen … Read more

“Those who erase history have no past – and no future.”

June 29, 2020 Skip

Over at Weekend Pundit, DCE has a proper observation of the NOW in politics (emphasis mine): Seeing the increasing attack upon history by overly-sensitive know-nothings, I am dismayed at the level of ignorance being displayed by those wishing to erase history. They have been convinced that 17th, 18th, 19th, and early/mid 20th century historical figures must be … Read more

Next-Level Virtue Signal: L’Oreal to Remove Words Like ‘Fairness’ and ‘White’ From Products

June 28, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Not long from now, it will be verboten to use terms like White Hat or words like Blackmail. And can the thought police are not far behind? I know, they are already here, but they will no longer be able to lighten dark spots of whiten skin tone no matter what color your skin.

Data Point – US Daily Deaths, 7 Day Average (Wu Flu)

June 28, 2020 Skip

Once again, the U.S. is undergoing a media-driven COVID-19 scare after a “spike” in infections. But as we noted earlier this week, the number of cases depends on the amount of testing. The key gauge to watch is deaths. They’ve been falling since April, and there’s strong reason to believe they’re lower than the official … Read more

Why can’t people just leave other peoples’ property alone? Especially the Post Office?

June 28, 2020 Skip

I’ve been documenting our small case of campaign sign stealing – Jim Babcock of Gilford told the Gilford Police Dept that he took Grokster Norm’s campaign sign out of anger (but lied to Norm’s face in saying that he didn’t know why). As I have said for years, if it is happening in our town, … Read more

The Cardinal Choice

July 27, 2023June 28, 2020 Ian Underwood

There are two ways of looking at the relationship between the rights of individuals, and the powers of government. The first, which based on the ideas of the Declaration of Independence, is that people have the right to do pretty much anything, except when they delegate specific powers to government for the purpose of protecting those rights:

Go Outside. Forget about COVID. Forget about Politics. Do Something Different.

June 28, 2020June 28, 2020 Kimberly Morin

Yesterday, I did something I hadn’t done in years – I went kayaking with my son. Actually, I used to go white-water rafting with him all the time and never actually kayaked with him so yesterday was a first. It was also the first time I had kayaked in a river that was a mix … Read more

Let’s move forward, not in circles

June 28, 2020June 27, 2020 Ian Underwood

Driving home from PorcFest this evening, I noticed that on I-91, Vermont has combined traditional exit numbers with the new distance-based exit numbers mandated by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). For example, one of the exits is marked Exit 18/Milepoint Exit 120. This seemed like a nice way to combine the old and the new.
