Rather than find a way to comply with the recent NH State Supreme Court “Opinion of the Justices” regarding non-resident voters, our New Hampshire election officials are trying to help “high volume” same day registration towns handle big crowds.
Here is the invitation from Secretary of State Bill Gardner:
The latest iteration of GraniteGrok.com is up and running. We’ll admit that we were going to wait a few more days, but something happened on 2.0 that made us wonder if that site, an old style with old security, had been compromised. We opted to go live and debug on the fly. Now that we … Read more
Angry, violent leftists (that’s redundant) are promising to be angry and violent if they don’t get their way.
One Twitter user, claiming to be a member of the far-left militia organization, Redneck Revolt, quote tweeted (archived here) Emily saying that he “didn’t join Redneck revolt for no reason”, the implication of course being that he is “down” for armed political violence.
Not that long ago the Democrat Mayor of Berlin, New Hampshire announced that the domestic abuse survivor of State Sen. Jeff Woodburn was not his female victim. It was Jeff Woodburn, the accused.
If only Woodburn were a nominee for the Supreme court, eh? We’d see buttons that say I believe “insert name here.” But the cabal of political insiders we’ve been discussing do not think so. Their champion is not the woman; it’s the great big, white guy who outweighs his alleged victim by 100 pounds and wait until you hear the latest.
It might take a bit but I have issued the “Make it so, #1” to our webmistress. The most important thing, our 30,000+ posts have just finished being moved over. One answer is needed from our hosting company and the button will be pushed to swap 3.0 into the 2.0 “slot”. It may take a … Read more
If you aren’t planning to vote in November I hope you like higher taxes. From 2011 to 2018 98% of New Hampshire Democrats voted for an income tax (2012 CACR13, 2018 HB628). 97% of Democrats voted for higher gas taxes (2013 HB617, 2014 SB367, 2011 SB78, 2015 HB591). Democrats voted for higher business taxes and lots of other taxes.
But there’s a way to stop your taxes from going up.
The AG’s office has issued an indictment against a UNH student for voting in two states in the 2016 election.
(Spencer) McKinnon, who identifies himself as a UNH student on his Facebook page, was indicted last week by a Strafford County grand jury, MacDonald’s office announced.
He is charged with knowingly voting twice in the Nov. 8, 2016, general election.
Ever since New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen predicted that Global Warming (they still called it that back then) would be the demise of New Hampshire’s tourism industry it has done exactly the opposite. Year after year the people who pay attention to such things have predicted record numbers. From leaf-peeping to beach-hopping, to winter-sports, to climbing mountains to taking in the Anthropo-“scenic” vistas.
The tide of tourism continues to rise. And look! This year is no different.
Using anecdotal evidence alone I’m going to guess that there is a significant crossover on the Left among animal rights activists and abortion supporters. Liberals are so hypocritical this has to be true. Humans are animals, but animals are in danger because of humans; so killing human animals in the womb is good for animals.
So what will they make of this?
The Trump Administration just canceled a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) contract that obtained fresh fetal tissue (from abortions) for transplant into rodents to make humanized-mice for medical research.
Well, at least the Committee chuckled at Ian’s jokes – most of the audience, with sour pusses on their collective visage, was not amused. Why? Given that one was Laurie Melanson (Superintendent SAU 23/Haverhill and with whom I had a light “jousting match” before the meeting).
SideNote: She made it clear that she felt that all of the standardized tests that are mandated SHOULD be part of their grades.
From today’s Union Leader, front page, “NH Has 3rd Lowest Violent Crime rate.”
The Granite State had the third-lowest rate of violent crime in 2017 — 198.7 incidents per 100,000 residents — trailing only Vermont (165.8) and Maine (121). Violent crime was down slightly nationwide, and it was the second year in a row that New Hampshire’s rate decreased.
Why? Expert opinions vary.
File under “Liberalism is a Mental Disorder” (although I should change this to “Leftism is a Mental Disorder” since “Liberal” just seems too nice and flowy). It’s time again for Ray Buckley’s appeal to New Hampshire Democrats to buy tickets to their annual fundraising dinner (nice GIF, Buckles). That’s not really a story worth telling – but the … Read more
A sitting New Hampshire House Rep tweeted, regarding the Pledge of Allegiance, that the “Liberty and Justice for All’ line irks her every time. Would it work better for you if we put the word ‘Social’ before Justice?
We’d have to take out the ‘liberty’ and ‘for all’ parts because social justice is for a select few who agree to toe a very narrow set of double-standards across the nation, without God, truly divisible, no matter what the inclusive excellence dogma may advertise.
As American culture begins to deteriorate and results from every area of society continue to illustrate the lack of integrity within our culture, people ask the question, “Can’t we just unite and become a nation of one people?” That’s a noble request and one that I believe many American’s would very much like to see become a reality.
We live in an era where sexual promiscuity is promoted, embraced and encouraged. We live in an age where murdering the unborn is not only acceptable but brushed off as a non-issue; some even and laugh it off. The selling of baby body parts is occurring without regard for the dignity and life of the unborn child. We live in an era where God is disrespected and mocked. I’m actually shocked that adults don’t see why we can’t unite.
We haven’t tweaked the Climate Cult nearly enough of late so here’s some ice to chew on. It’s the NOAA passive microwave dataset. This method of measurement shows the approximate annual Arctic sea-ice extent at the top of the world.
As you can see predictions of an abrupt and unstoppable ice-free Arctic appear exaggerated compared to this dataset. Yes, there was ice loss. From 1994 to 2007 the arctic ice cap shrank by 1.537 M km2. That’s almost thirteen percent. But since 2007 the reduction is only 0.081. That equates to almost no change in a decade.
Despite this lack of change in “climate” at the north pole the calamity of declining sea-ice continues to plague us. A non-issue parallel to the repeated rantings over sea-level rise – because they are connected don’t you know.
Bill Greiner runs Bedford, New Hampshire. Just ask him. Or, perhaps you can ask the people he bankrolls for public office not that they’ll ever admit it.
Bill’s got a lot of money and this appears to mean more to Bill than just being successful. It means he can push people around. Correction. It means that he thinks he can push people around and that he’s been successful doing that. Why else send an email to the employer of a resident to try and shut him up?
In an unprecedented platform, Trump stated if countries and governments “do not respect” the United States, they won’t get paid. Trump’s comments came after world leaders broke into laughter at Trump moments earlier for bragging about his achievements as U.S. president.
No one was laughing after Trump dropped this on those same world leaders. You could hear a pin drop. That is brash talk from the president and underscores several reasons why Americans voted him into the White House.
Trump also reiterated that nations that seek military protection from the United States will be paying their fair share for those services.
(Or they won’t get them.)
Forgot I had transcribed this from WMUR’s CLOSE UP show (Aug 12, 2018) where Levi Sanders, running to be the Democrat candidate in NH’s Second Congressional District even as he lived in CD-1, said the magic words:
On Tuesday or Wednesday, there will be one of the most important votes in the modern history of this country. And that vote will be whether or not in the wealthiest country in the history of the world, we throw 22 million Americans off the health insurance they currently have.
Yeah, once again – wrongthink. Certainly the idea of a successful Medicare-for-All (which his Dad’s bill isn’t really Medicare-for-all that Bernie touts but is structured more like Medicaid-for-all and jams down lower payments to doctors and hospitals in order to say “see, we lowered healthcare costs” and caring not a whit about the restructuring again of 1/6 of our economy). This is just a sidenote. My real point is this:
H/T Northwood NH Conservative…
**Attention All Law Abiding Gun Owners**
Do you want to register your firearms with the government ?
Do you want NH Constitutional Carry repealed?
Do you want a waiting period on all firearms purchases?
Do you want to stop all reciprocity carry agreements between states?
Do you want credit card companies to limit your ability to purchase firearms or accessories? ……..I don’t!
I was just minding my own business when this headline scrolled its way before my eyes. “6 things other governments provide that Americans still have to pay for.”
I think it should read “Six things other governments provide for which Americans still have to pay,” but I can write in cursive and also believe that there are thousands of buying decisions laundered through government that every-day Americans are more qualified to make, including the six things in this MSN article.
