In addition to the other interviews from the 4th Annual Women’s Defense League of NH gun rally, Mark Hounsell (a current Carroll County Commissioner, Conway School Board member, and former NH State Senator) recognized me and chatted for a few minutes about his run for US Congress in NH’s First Congressional District: His blogsite is … Read more
The last of the quick interviews from the Women’s Defense League of NH was with Jilletta Jarvis who is the Libertarian candidate for NH Government.
In real life, she seems to be a nice lady; I may not share her issues in toto and I do think she needs to work on her “quick stump speech” but like all candidates not wearing boots on their head (Vermin Supreme – heh!), she should be taken serious and not merely dismissed because she’s at an opposite end.
Well, TMEW, the Grandson, and I took the trip off the mountain to go vote this morning. Not early, like 7 or 8am as I had wanted to and have done previous Voting Days – the 2 year old hasn’t quite grasped that he has to turn his timing around to fit everyone else – he was still asleep at 9:45am which was really just after 8:30am his time which is his normal wake-up time. Thus, there were already a coupla few inches of snow on the road, no snow plow had gone by, and the only road outta here possesses quite the hairpin turn at the bottom of a ravine with a brook at the bottom and a sheer side on the left that only a few years ago was christened with steel guards. Yes, I have seen a few cars go into the brook and over the side. One winter, a minivan flipped upside down on the downslope due to the icing on the road before the plow / sand trucks came through. But I digress…
We made it although the F-150, even in 4 wheel drive, slipped and skidded going to the polls. Turnout was active to the point of being “heavy”; the polling place’s parking lot was full and after dropping off TMEW and the Grandson, I had to park next door at the Library. The lines to register (WITH ID! YAY!) were rather short but the total pages for the Town and the School District was five full pages. I blew through them having covered them during the BudComm season; TMEW took a bit of time longer. That was fine – I got to yak with the Selectmen Chair and a number of the ladies stopped by to oogle and ooh-and-ah over the Grandson.
So, how will it turn out?
Today, a hearing was held before the New Hampshire Senate Education Committee on an amendment to Senate Bill 357 (SB 357 – irony noted), AN ACT relative to safe school zones and relative to syringe service programs. The purpose of the legislation appears to allow a syringe program if requested by a school district.
Democrat Senator Martha Hennessey (District 05) is the sole sponsor of the amendment which attempts to give local school boards the ability to put gun control laws into place:
Allowing school boards to determine whether or not to prohibit the possession of firearms in A safe school zone.
Essentially, this amendment, if it were to pass, could cause law-abiding citizens to become criminals dependent solely upon decisions made by a local school board which would differ from school district to school district.
Parkland law enforcement and school administrators are desperate to divert attention from their many failures to enforce existing laws that allowed Nikolas Cruz to get a gun and massacre so many people. Leftist politicians continue wanting schools to be “Gun Free Zones”, despite the fact that almost all public mass killings have been in “Gun Free Zones”.
Radical leftists including the media have used this horrible situation to manipulate desperate parents and students into hysterically demanding ever increasing elimination of our Second Amendment rights and fighting against the only thing that can provide protection, trained, armed protection among the school staff.
When you run into gun grabbers and people influenced by the hysteria, you might consider asking them:
How many out there know about the function of our New Hampshire Executive Council? I am finding very few understand or even know about the EC here in our state. We need to change that!
The NH Executive Council is a vestige of the Colonia era, offering a “firewall” to ensure an autocracy within the Executive branch is mitigated if not outright thwarted. Working with the Governor within the Executive branch, the Executive Council is a unique and open form of state government.
On Saturday I referenced the passage of expanded Medicaid out of the State Senate. The new Bradley-Care Bill, SB313, complete with a new and improved five-year plan (instead of two, cue the Soviet national anthem) got the yeah votes of every Democrat in the New Hampshire Senate and seven out of fourteen “Republicans.”
The chief cheerleader of SB313 is also the chief facilitator of Medicaid Expansion in New Hampshire, Republican Senator Jeb Bradley who is, naturally, excited about the bipartisan support for his otherwise wholly progressive undertaking.
I just don’t understand – how could this many genders pop-up so suddenly and at this time in history? Has the “arc of History” that Progressives keep yammering about just wrapped itself into a pretzel? (H/T: Powerline)

One of the first folks I ran into at the rally was loyal reader and commenter was Allen and his better half – just wanted to say “Hi” again!
I also ran into Steve Negron who announced a while ago that he was going to be running in the Republican Primary to become that Party’s nominee to challenge Democrat Ann Kuster.
Anyways, just a quick ‘Grok interview – I’m sure we’ll be seeing him in the future.
We also met up with Carla Gericke who has decided to run for NH State Senate in District 20 – Goffstown, and Manchester Wards 3, 4, 10, and 11. Her background is here and her issues are here. Website: Carla4nhsenate
Are you tired of NH Legislators who promise one thing and deliver another?
Are you tired of seeing government grow, take over personal responsibilities, and infringe on our freedoms?
Do you want to stop increased taxes and further restrictions of our liberties?
Do you want the government to focus on enabling and encouraging people to be freer, safer, and more prosperous?
You and like-minded patriotic citizens are needed in our state legislature!
Thankfully, being an SB2 town, we get to vote in private. I remember town meetings when the warrant was both debated and voted upon in a single session and how long they ran until way early into the morning as one special interest group (“SIG”) or another slowed it down until “the opposition” finally went … Read more

The Tax Foundation has ranked New Hampshire 7th overall nationally in 2018 for business tax climate. This is excellent news particularly when we compared to our northeastern neighbors.
Massachusetts ranks 22nd. Maine Ranks 28th. Rhode Island is 41st, Connecticut 44th, and Vermont 47th. If you want to include New York, they rolled in at 49. And not one of them is doing anything to improve things.
But New Hampshire is.

Yep, Chairman Mao Buckles Ray Buckley of the NH Dems wouldn’t know what gun safety is even if it bit him in the arse. He’s just all out of sorts that people actually believe ALL of the US Constitution and the NH one as well:
Noted: If you’re a responsible supporter of the Second Amendment, @NHGOP has nothing but contempt for you. They label the vast majority of Americans as "gun grabbers" b/c they support gun safety. It’s not only dishonest, it’s outright shameful. #nhpolitics https://t.co/C0LCP16tTn

Let’s review Buckles’ history, shall we?
