April 1, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Ohio Passed a law in 2016 “forbidding the state from sending preventive health funding to any organization, or affiliate of an organization, that “performs or promotes” non-therapeutic abortions.” A court upheld the law last week. Public funding ends April 20th.

SCOTUS: The Constitution Does Not Guarantee Death Row Inmates a Painless Death

April 1, 2019 Steve MacDonald

In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court ruled today that the US Constitution does not guarantee inmates subject to capital punishment a painless death.

NH Democrats: Selling You a Bridge That Doesn’t Exist On a Payment Plan That Never Ends

April 3, 2019April 1, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The narrative New Hampshire’s Democrats are selling is that they want to lower your “property taxes.” They will do this, they claim, while raising more revenue; by creating a new income tax. But once you buy that bridge, you can’t get a refund.

AOC: Congress Amended the Constitution To Keep FDR from Getting Re-Elected

April 1, 2019 Steve MacDonald

FDR died in Office in 1945, but according to Left-Wing genius, Alexandria Occasional-Cortex Congress stepped in and changed the constitution to prevent him from being reelected to a fourth term. While plenty of Dead Democrats have voted, and there may even be dead Democrats who have been elected or re-elected to an office (by dead Democrats?), … Read more

Press Release: The NH House “Beer Caucus”

April 1, 2019 Skip

And a “DILLY, DILLY!” from this teetotaler for putting one over on the Democrats! For immediate release: (Concord, NH) (emphasis mine): Last week hidden behind the hoopla of the passage of the last straw law, the #beercaucus singlehandedly made life for all NH Citizens better by repealing RSA 178:26, the tax on the sale of beer. In a completely … Read more

Quick Shot: Content Our Readers Loved Last Month

April 1, 2019April 1, 2019 Steve MacDonald

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

April 1, 2019 Steve MacDonald

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)

April 1, 2019 Kimberly Morin

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

April 1, 2019 Steve MacDonald

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?

While we “write about what amuses us”, we certainly appreciate that you think that what we think is important enough to write is also important enough to you to the point that you’re willing to donate to keep GraniteGrok going and … Read more

Lost in the NH Democrat Party’s Lunatic Lurch to the Left … State Senate Republicans Have Been Leftward Lurching Too

March 31, 2019 Ed Mosca

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’

March 31, 2019 Kimberly Morin

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

June 9, 2019March 31, 2019 Steve MacDonald

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

March 31, 2019March 31, 2019 Skip

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”

March 31, 2019 Skip

“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

March 31, 2019March 31, 2019 Skip

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

March 31, 2019March 31, 2019 Op-Ed

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?

March 31, 2019 Skip

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
