The monthly roundup is upon us again, and our own March Madness did not disappoint. Traffic is still climbing. Our Alexa Rank is improving. And the audience is growing, not just in New Hampshire, but across the country. And while the top-ten is loaded with items of national interest, a New Hampshire-centered post still took the number one spot.
“Unplanned” – Movie Beats Out Captain Marvel in Weekend Per-Screen Average Sales
Abby Johnson’s story hit theaters this weekend. It tells how a Planned Parenthood employee of the year became a staunch pro-life advocate. A very high-profile defection that the media, the left, and even the film rating agency tried to suppress. It didn’t work.
Left-Wing Loon of the Week: Rosemarie Rung (D-Merrimack)
This will be my first in a weekly column of shining the light on the many, many left-wing loons we have in the Granite State. Unfortunately, many of them also ended up in the New Hampshire Legislature and the ones who are the biggest loons also have the biggest mouths. Since they feel it necessary … Read more
Democrat State Rep. Safiya Wazir – Escaped Tyranny to Advance it in New Hampshire
José Eduardo Cambrils, writing in the Concord Monitor, observes that at the age 6 State Rep. Safiya Wazir was a refugee from totalitarian Afghanistan. He adds that “I was also a 5-year-old refugee from a totalitarian nightmare – Fidel Castro’s Communist Cuba.” Then wonders how they turned out so different?

Lost in the NH Democrat Party’s Lunatic Lurch to the Left … State Senate Republicans Have Been Leftward Lurching Too
This: Let that sink in. Every Republican State Senator, but one, voted to make Obamacare the law in New Hampshire. Obamacare. And don’t be fooled for a second by the term “essential health benefits.” That’s just a wonderful euphemism for mandating that people purchase various insurance coverages whether they need or want that coverage. More … Read more
Facepalm of the Day – ‘Property Tax is an Income Tax’
Democrats are trying to push their government-run, mandated ‘Paid Family Leave’ program (Senate Bill 1) which is, as most correctly understand, a tax on Granite Stater’s income. Democrats refuse to call this tax on your income an income tax because they know how much a majority of Granite Staters are against an income tax, including … Read more
Merrimack’s Four Horsewomen of the Left-Wing Apocalypse Don’t Trust You
If you voted for Murphy, Stack, and Thomas (the Water Warriors) you were swindled. Rosemarie Rung too. Merrimack’s Four Horsewomen of the Left-Wing Apocalypse are all-in on casting down ruling class edicts. Bureaucratic intrusions. And a Hopey-changey bus loaded with tax hikes.
Zandra Rice-Hawkins does the exact same thing
How do I know? She told me to my face what she thinks of me. Again, back to today’s Blogline of the Day. SHOT: “We are committed to policies that make American lives better and we’re actually talking about something substantive, we’re not calling anyone names. CHASER: People say ‘Tea Party of the left’ and … Read more
Blogline of the Day -“washed up and pathetic”
“Listening to Trump’s pitch, I felt it was so upbeat, so admiring and praising of people who usually hear that they’re washed up and pathetic.” And the Democrats are openly derisive of us, too. While Obama (“bitter clingers”) and Hillary (“deplorables, irredeemables”) openly called we who oppose them politically and culturally, many don’t SAY it … Read more
Notable Quote – David Henderson
Consider this scenario: Say a million of us have gardens; instead of spending our money to maintain our gardens, we are forced to give that money to the government so that it can decide how the money should be spent on our gardens. Ridiculous, right? We know that most of our gardens would be less … Read more
Tough week last week at the State House
by NH State Rep Dave Testerman (R-Franklin) It was a long last week and somewhat frustrating. The House, overwhelmed by the Democrats passed a lot of silly and several dangerous laws. Here are just some of the sillyness: HB-558 and -560 ban plastic straws and bags. While I seldom use either of these, it is just … Read more
This could be rather interesting -no possible throwing of the “man card” by Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig?
I don’t live in Manchester so I don’t have a dog in this fight. Perhaps. But this would make things rather interesting. Last race was Ted Gatsas (a moderate R) versus Joyce Craig (unabashed Progressive). Old white guy vs young white gal. The nuances were there. This, if it turns out, turns it into a … Read more
NH Media – abrogation of their responsibilities, or just plain biases showing?
GraniteGrok was there at the Granite State Taxpayer’s NH Advantage Rally yesterday. It was important, it was a Conservative event. We covered it; we’ve got some video up already – and a little bit more to do as well. It’s what we do. So, I decided to do a thought experiment. If just “showing up” was important … Read more
Key Global Warming Alarmism Glacier is Growing not Receding
Early on in Global Warming Hysteria ‘disappearing glaciers’ was a pivotal talking point in the “End is Near” (government can prevent it) narrative. But one of the critical glaciers in that storyline of decline has started growing again.
Trump Get’s Media to Insist Only 3.9 Million People Dropped Off Food Stamps
When the President said 5 Million people were dropping off Food Stamps, the media went to work to prove him wrong. It was only 3.9 Million you cad. How Brilliant is that? If he’d said 3.9 Million what number would the Media have ‘found?’
NH House Democrat Status Report: Freedom much, Regressives?
How Democrats voted, through March 20, 2019 To set the stage, these from my post “Progressives and The Proper Role of Government – and your subservience to it“: Referencing the new law criminalizing the use of plastic straws, Councilman Jesse Dominguez said, “Unfortunately, common sense is just not common. We have to regulate every aspect of people’s … Read more
GrokInterview – Ed Naile on joining against the NH ACLU’s Federal Court anti-voter fraud lawsuit
As he said, he’s waited 20 years of fighting voter fraud here in NH. He’s put in the paperwork and now the ACLU has until the end of the month to respond. What’s the purpose – a process of discovery. Listen for yourself and if you have been following Ed during his journey, you can … Read more
Liberal White Guilt Has a Hashtag #MyWhitePrivilege
I think the reason Liberals want a seven-day waiting period for handguns to give Democrats time to reconsider killing themselves. As in, if we make them wait, they might recover and come to whatever passes for their senses.
Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder lets slip the Left’s true feelings about America
And Veep Pence throws it back at him. SHOT: Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder on Wednesday appeared on MSNBC, where host Ari Melber asked him: “There is a lot of talk about America being a leader as a democracy, quote unquote, in the 1800s when women and African-Americans couldn’t vote. What kind of democracy is that?” … Read more
