You cannot get through a day without hearing a politician cite a threat to our Democracy. This statement is factually incorrect. The United States of America is not, and hopefully never will be, a Democracy. Our forefathers protected our individual states by creating America as a Constitutional Republic.
We’re Not That Stupid, Mikey … Biden Was Never “That Guy”
At least, Mikey Graham is FINALLY being honest about it … he and his ilk helped elect Biden in 2020. But he is NOT being honest about WHY. The real reason is that Donald Trump represented (and still represents) an existential threat to the grift of “traditional Republicans,” to use Mikey’s euphemism for the country-club elitists like McConnell, Sununu, Ayotte, etc.:
Democrat Women Wear Traditional Klan Colors for Biden’s Hate of the Union Speech
Democrats are confusing. Ivanka Trump got a white dog, and the Liberal Left lost their hive mind (racism!). Melania Trump wore a white dress to speak before the RNC, and the Liberal Left lost their hive mind (racism!). Dem women wear white as a group and, what?
NH House Republican Attendance for the Week of 3-7-2024
Thursday is session day, and if you missed Judy Aron’s round-up this morning, make a note to check that out (right after you’ve finished looking to see if your rep missed any roll call votes or if they missed a lot of them).
NH Legislators Who Use Private Emails for ‘Public Business’ … and The Right to Know Law
Remember Daniel Richard’s first State Supreme Court litigation? He sued the legislature pro se and humiliated Attorneys James Cianci (House Counsel) and Richard Lehmann (Senate Counsel) during oral arguments. As part of the overflow crowd, I watched it livestream in the legal library and must say that Attorney Lehmann did a better job of saving face than Attorney Cianci.
Public Service Announcement: Make Your Vote Count
Taylor Swift recently blurted out on Instagram: Today, March 5, is the presidential primary in Tennessee and 16 other states and territories. I wanted to remind you guys to vote the people who most represent YOU into power. If you haven’t already, make a plan to vote today. In a similar vein, I’d like to … Read more
“Apple’s Journal App Probably Isn’t a Privacy Nightmare” – But the Tech Certainly Is!
Your iPhone, Android, Tablet, Car, smart TV, or any other “Smart” device has huge vulnerabilities. Your phone is not the place to store private information, and if you think you are not being tracked by your phone, tablet, smartwatch, or even your car, you are sadly mistaken. Shutting off features does nothing but limit them to hackers and governments.
So Kids, What Did We Learn From This Week’s House Session (3/7/24)?
We learned that we had a full day with 52 House bills on the agenda but didn’t get through all of them. As the hour got late, we saved 10 for next week. We also learned that when Republicans show up, they stop bad bills from advancing and move good bills forward. Read more below.
Housekeeping: Daily Grok Newsletter Update and Other Business …
Just a heads up regarding the newsletter. We have seen some small improvements in email delivery as a result of the ongoing tinkering with the SPF and DKIM, but nowhere near where we need ot be. Gmail is still a problem, so we’ll keep at it.
Night Cap: Try This Simple “Trick” to Make Democrats Lose Their Tiny Narrow Minds
It doesn’t take much to twist the panties of the average all-in-leftist. Fragile is an understatement. They are tightly wound emotional time bombs with more triggers than a gun store. Speaking of which, if you’d like to see them snap like a dry twig, cut a school budget, or add this optional funding for public schools.
NH School Funding Fairness Project = HIGHER State Taxes
Watch for The New Hampshire School Funding Fairness Project. As I listened to their presentation, it became apparent to me that this organization is all about raising state taxes with no guarantees it would lower our property taxes.
America To the Elite: Go Trump Yourselves
Despite four indictments with ninety-one charges, over 90% of mainstream media coverage rated “negative” since 2018, and attempts to garland albatrosses around his neck in every possible manner (Russia collusion, BLM riots, COVID, social media censorship, law-fare, etc.) Donald Trump had perhaps the most dominant Super Tuesday since Ronald Reagan when the big event began back in 1984.
Update: Daniel Richard v. Christopher Sununu, et al.
From Dan Richard: I just filed this last night after Gov. Chris Sununu signed HB 154 into law amending the voting machines to be permanent without the consent of the voters required by the NH Constitution.
Crime and [No] Punishment
Recently, I was having a conversation in which I had occasion to bring up RSA 193-H:2, which says:
Schools shall ensure that all pupils are performing at the proficient level or above on the statewide assessment as established in RSA 193-C.
As 16 and 17-Year-Olds Get Ready to Vote in Brattleboro … Why Doesn’t That Violate the State Constitution?
One thing you can say about the left is that they do not squander their majorities with concerns about how the electorate (or their respective bureaucratic states) will view their priorities. They just do it.
Selecting the Perfect Power Tool: Your Comprehensive Guide
The world of power tools can be overwhelming, especially for first-time buyers.expand_more With countless options, technical jargon, and varying needs, choosing the right tool can feel like deciphering a foreign language. Fear not, DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike!
The Democrat’s Three Stooges
The Democrat Party has selected three spokespeople to focus their message and stay consistent. I realize the Democrat bench is not well stocked with political talent, but to choose Eric Swalwell (D-CA), Deborah Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), and Jamie Raskin (D-MD) is tantamount to a bad joke or SNL skit.
I Am Running for the School Board in the Governor Wentworth Regional School District
My name is Wesley Smallidge and I am running for the school board in the governor Wentworth regional school district because we need to do better. As a Kingswood graduate and lifelong Wolfeboro resident, I am concerned about what I see happening with our schools. We need to do better as a community because our children are falling behind academically.
Night Cap: Londonderry, Where Some Political “Ads” Are More ‘Equal’ Than Others
Londonderry has become a land where the people in power know better, whine if you challenge them or call them out, and then – get a load of this – are indifferent to the laws used to go after the outspoken few.
The Public School Double Standard (Part 2)
Years ago, I wrote about how traditional public schools are to be judged by their ideals and intentions — their best possible outcomes — rather than by their actual performance; while the alternatives (e.g., charter schools, private schools, Extended Learning Opportunities, the Children’s Scholarship Fund, Learn Everywhere, and now EFAs and even home education) are … Read more
