Thankfully, there’s someone on the Right to trigger the correct and obvious comeback: Another consequence of taking that first stupid decision to venture away from reality… (H/T: Powerline)
Nashua Mayor Donchess is quick to point out that the city had to do its recent property revaluation. It’s state law. And that’s true.
He was not ‘unhappy’ to report that as a result, the tax rate will go down. But that’s not good news because the dance is between the tax base and the budget. Juggling numbers don’t change the actual problem. Yes, some folks will see their tax bill decline slightly but most will see it rise. Not because of a forced revaluation but because no effort is made to cut spending.
When the Trump administration encouraged the FCC to pull the plug on a Government regulated internet, they did just that. They got the government out of your “digital bedroom.” The usual suspects were outraged. But you don’t want the government regulating the internet like a utility. Not under any condition. And that includes crafting new regulations to control how entities like Google or Facebook or Twitter behave in the free market.
The New York Times buried a Hogg trap inside a recent article on Ambassador Nikki Haley. The headline reads, “Nikki Haley’s View of New York Is Priceless. Her Curtains? $52,701.” A Rootin-Tootin Media Hogg named David saw that and whipped out his virtue-signaling sicks-shooters to unload on the U.S. Ambassador to the UN.
There are starving children in America everyday and you have the audacity to misappropriate thousands of tax dollars for your own lavish lifestyle. Resign immediately.
Six paragraphs into the Times piece we find out that Haley, Trump, and The State Department “inherited the extravagant window coverings” from the previous administration.
This is making its way around so we figured we’d ask our readers for their thoughts.
At the Senate hearing for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, this woman screamed about stopping Kavanaugh from being approved. Made a scene. You know the drill.
Make sure the cameras catch it so the media can milk its pre-defined narratives for the Democrats to work. Complete with an actual payoff?
Powerline has the right of it: “IT’S OFFICIAL: GOOGLE IS A DEMOCRATIC PARTY FRONT”
Well! It seems that all of Google were crying in their cups when Trump “stole” the Presidency from Hillary (“Not fair, it was HER turn and we were ALL with HER!”). Brietbart got ahold of their TGIF video held after the election and it is clear that they aren’t happy. This is not news to a lot of us that follow this kind of stuff – Eric Schmidt, former CEO and Chair, made no secret of supporting Obama to the max and many of Google’s (and other Silicon Valley companies) engineers took “Sabbaticals” to staff up his and Hillary’s campaign tech crews (in addition to doing a bunch of spin-offs in the same vein).
This shows the ideological bent of these folks back in 2016 and we knew it existed well before that. The highly publicized event of a Google Engineer, James Damore, who was fired simply for questioning Google’s diversity policies really started to wake up us “non-WOKE” folks along with the documented results of biased searches (as well as the demonitization or outright shutting down of various YouTube conservative channels (which is owned by Google)). What transpired before is now coming to screens near you.
Time to start thinking of Google and Youtube and the rest of them (e.g., Facebook, Twitter) as the online version of the Left’s Antifa? SILENCE!!!
Who knows how long this video will stay up on YouTube…
A bit more from the Brietbart post gives a better quick taste – you DO want to at least scan through it (emphasis mine):
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, speaking at George Washington University Law School, expressed a lack of appreciation for the partisan show that consumes the Supreme Court Justice Confirmation process
“The atmosphere in ’93 was truly bipartisan. The vote on my confirmation was 96 to 3, even though I had spent about 10 years of my life litigating cases under the auspices of the ACLU and I was on the ACLU board,” she continued.
“By now, we know these fake accounts helped influence the latest U.S. presidential election. Automated bot accounts made up 18 percent of Twitter’s traffic related to the 2016 election, according to researchers, and these bots overwhelmingly pushed messages in favor of now President Donald Trump. At least a third of pro-Trump tweets during the election came from bots, and half of Trump’s most engaged Twitter followers are bots.”
I wanted to let you know that I am going to be tied up on a few projects for the next 6-8 weeks and will be taking a step back from GraniteGrok. We are coordinating our efforts to fill in the gaps. More editorials, op-eds, and guest posts. I will post a few things here … Read more
One of the grassroots goals in 2018 was to find and support candidates to replace Republicans in the New Hampshire House who had either fallen off the ‘platform’ wagon or were never really on it. Incumbents who, for whatever reason, decided that their party registration is more a guideline than a rule. Orm in a few cases, just the letter you put in parentheses after your name to get elected to office in a Republican-leaning district.
Better candidates to replace these occasional republicans were recruited and supported in for lack of a better word ‘targeted’ districts. At least eight that I know of were successfully retired.
I took a LOT of crap for writing this post about then US Senator John E. Sununu’s lack of campaigning – and Jeanne Shaheen cleaned his campaign clock and took his seat away. So I ask once again – how much campaigning has one seen from latest / youngest scion of the Super Sununu family lately? Not a heck of a lot from what I’ve seen or heard – and he seems rather proud of it as I’m now just watching him on WMUR’s News. In a piece contrasting Molly Kelly (upping her Primary hastings efforts now towards the General election a few scant weeks from now), there’s Chris:
Adam: But the Governor is planning to run on his own record: from full day kindergarten to cutting taxes. And he’s highlighting that he’s spending more time on working than campaigning
Yeah, heard that tactic before. How’d that work out for the family business?
“…Dems are forgetting to tell you that private insurance will be banned under their scheme”

President Barack Obama made a stunning policy shift Friday, endorsing Medicare for All — a single-payer health system for the nation. Most Democrats contending for the 2020 presidential nomination and many Dems vying for congressional seats this fall are backing it, too. Beware: They’re pulling a bait-and-switch. The phrase Medicare for All sounds as American as apple pie. A new Reuters poll shows 70 percent of Americans respond to it favorably.
Yet the public isn’t getting the truth about what it means.
Remember when we said your voting record matters? We’ve got another example, and it ties in nicely with our congratulations to Republican Dan Hynes on his election win. He beat out one of those squishy Republicans with a lousy voting record in the State Senate District 9 primary. Terry Wolf is reputed to be a Bill Greiner special. Greiner runs Bedford, if you hadn’t heard. He owns the Town council, blah blah, blah.
The Democrat Party is unhinged. Unstable leftists are listening. It has become dangerous to be a Republican or a Conservative. With Maxine Waters’ caustic rhetoric, Violence is now all but inevitable. Unhinged is the 69-Year-Old College Professor in Las Vegas who shot himself because he doesn’t like Trump. Left-wing Nut job James Hodgkinson shot Rep. … Read more
New Hampshire has been represented for some time in Congress by several hard-left leaning Democrats. That can change with the upcoming election in District 1 and District 2. It is an historic chance to put an end to having two Nancy Pelosi hand puppets reciting CNN talking points when they should be engaged in serious business on behalf of the State of New Hampshire.
Congresswoman Ann Kuster is not the only New Hampshire Democrat supporter of the Women’s March, but we’ll use her as out locus for this discussion because she has publicly participated and praised the organization, one of whose founding members just told a room full of Muslims not to ‘humanize the jews.’
Does Ann Kuster, who takes large sums of money from the anti-Israel group J-Street, agree?
Congratulations to Steve Negron, his wife Terry, and the entire field team. They covered a lot of ground in a very crowded field and pulled off an impressive victory. A win that came sometime after midnight.
Not that I ever doubted it.
My goal, for the record, was to provide some video from the Negron campaign’s victory party. But my lovely wife and I have to get up early to work so we had to leave with only 88% of precincts reporting and the outcome still to close to call. That was just before 11pm.
