Let me set the stage: Public schools are Government schools – a near-monopoly in the K-12 education space and one can see, by the actions of Selfish Socialist (and bigot) Andru Volinsky, Government and its supporters on the Left (like teachers unions) aren’t about to give that up without a fight.
And now we’re back to the Scott Dunn Monument to Economic Illiteracy (otherwise known as the Gilford Recycling Center)
I’ve been speaking and writing in opposition to the redoing of the town dump. $1.4 million dollars to create the Gilford Recycling Center, at a time when the recycling marketplace was drying up faster than our lawns this summer.
State Internet Surveillance Unit Sued for Alleged Illegal Collection Practices
A State Trooper has sued claiming his state used a DHS backed resource agency to illegally collect data on individuals making legal gun purchases or engaged in peaceful protests. Before you say you don’t care, New Hampshire has one of these too! As does every state.
If Rev. John Gregory-Davis doesn’t like it, start your own company and pay higher wages
Rev. John Gregory-Davis has an Op-Ed in the Concord Monitor that is a lot of talk and very little self-responsibility. A typical Leftist wrapping himself up “in the cloth.” Is anyone ELSE getting tired of Progressives that yammer about “wealth inequality” but have no skin in the game themselves?
NH Received at Least $2.24 Million Per COVID19 Hospitalization – Where’d it All Go?
Last week we shared some data from Kaiser Health. In it, they reported how much states had received per COVID19 case (as of Mid-April). New Hampshire was pegged at 200,000 per incidence. But that struck me as the wrong way to look at it. The grave concern was hospitalizations, so what was the cost for that?
Notable Quote – An illusion of Black Dependency on White Largess
The narrative that white people “hold the power” conveys a wrongheaded notion of white superiority and creates an illusion of black dependency on white largess. This false assignment of responsibility, while coming from an authentic desire to produce change, can create a new kind of mental enslavement. Glenn Loury, a Brown University economist, exposed this … Read more
Poll Results for EC5 – Dave Wheeler vs. Bob Clegg
Our most recent poll question asked readers to pick a Republican primary winner in Executive Council District 5. It was close, and the lead changed hands, but we have a winner by a difference of 38 votes.
“Republican-Caused,” Riots, Looting And Insurrection
Republicans are at fault for all of this unrest…So says the leftist mouthpieces. And most are buying that line hook, line and sinker. Yes, our rubber-spined Republicans sit mute…while Rome burns and they fiddle…doing nothing. Nothing. Tom Cotton has spoken out, but Senator Cotton is a lone voice. Again, we see how Leftists are eating our Political lunch and the Republicans are sulking quietly in the corner. America now feels abandoned and alone. Nobody in Washington has our backs.
Volinsky Campaign on the Brink … Black Lives Matter – Manchester Rejects Andy’s Non-Apology Apology
A few hours ago I posted Andy Volinsky’s Apology – He Still Thinks Eddie Edwards is Unqualified, But He’s Sorry He Said So Because He Got Called Out by BLM. Apparently, I’m not the only one who thinks Volinsky’s “apology” was a sham. From BLM-Manchester (via WMUR):
My First Co-Hosting Gig on WSMN 1590 – Our Guest has over 30-Years in Law enforcement
Today was the first of what could be many future co-hosting gigs on WSMN 1590. Liz Gabert, the host of ‘Life with Liz’ has invited me to co-host her show one day a month (the 4th Wednesday). She offered more but my schedule does not permit. And today was the first of these co-hosting gigs.

So here is Andy Volinsky’s latest apology for his racism: In other words, I think Edwards, Terrell are just as unqualified as Edelblut, etcetera … but I am sorry I said so out loud because I got called out on it by Black Lives Matter – Manchester. Andy, sweetie, the reason you got called out … Read more
NH Senate Democrats Vote to Give Police MORE POWER over Granite Staters
In a vote of 3-2 today, right along party lines, New Hampshire Senate Democrats voted to pass House Bill 687 – AN ACT relative to extreme risk protection orders. This legislation is better known as the ‘Red Flag’ bill. NYC billionaire Michael Bloomberg is spending a lot of money on lobbyists to get this bill … Read more
Wouldn’t it be Wonderful?
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could find a cure for all things that ail us? Perhaps we could make the cure from divine fruit. What do you think? Should the cure be fair to the eye? Would it be inviting to the palate? Would it grant us the virtue of wisdom?
Black Lives Matter CONDEMNS Andy Volinsky
This, from the Black Lives Matter Manchester’s Facebook Page: In case you have not been following, BLM-Manchester is referring to Volinsky’s absurd claim that Eddie Edwards was not qualified to head the State’s licensing agency. I urge you to read the comments section. The White “allies” are flabbergasted and incredulous that BLM-Manchester is not blindly … Read more
Government Stimulus checks lead to Rash of Overdoses in New Hampshire, Vermont
What did anyone THINK was going to happen when you give druggies unexpected money? I don’t think this is the economy that needed to be “stimulated” (emphasis mine, reformatted):
“Executive Councilor Could Benefit from Some Counseling”
In January 1938 Franklin Roosevelt nominated Stanley Forman Reed to fill an opening on the Supreme Court. Three weeks later, having generated no real dispute in the Senate, Reed’s nomination was uneventfully confirmed. Among the legacy Justice Reed accrued during nearly two decades on the bench, was his mentoring of legal protégé, and future Chief … Read more
“Glaring Double Standard for Republican Women”
THE GLARING double standard for Republican women is back again, this time in the form of New Hampshire Democrats’ demeaning response to New York Rep. Elise Stefanik’s endorsement of Matt Mowers in the First Congressional District Republican primary.
Issues through the lens of F.A. Hayek’ economics philosophies
I am a fan of Cafe Hayek where economics deal with the issues of the day from the Individual being in control (instead of The State) of one’s own personal economy; I’ve been putting up Notable Quotes from the site for years (so this should not be a secret for long term ‘Grok readers). Have … Read more
2020 Taglines
When this COVID-19 circus finally rolls out of town (if it ever does), there will be a number of taglines for this awkward period in US history. One of them will be “weaponized hypocrisy”. We’ve seen ridiculous levels of hypocrisy from the Left over the past 10 years, especially since Donald Trump got elected. They … Read more
“History is not supposed to make you feel good or bad. History is your best defense against ignorance”
Every country has written great pages and dark pages in History. For the United States, slavery and the Civil War that brought an end to it were definitely some of the darkest pages. And we must never forget.
