MacDonald: So, About that New Web Site of Yours …

by Steve MacDonald

The latest iteration of The ‘Grok went live when the Trump assassination attempt story broke, so there was a lot going on while we were working on getting this thing up and running. I was updating both the old and new sites with the Trump story because we’d already moved the data for the live … Read more

Murphy: The “Value Add” Rationale is Clobbering the Unions

by Skip

When a law is necessary to keep an organization’s membership from leaving (e.g., a closed union shop that demands membership before someone can work there), it is ripe for competition. In this case, it was the same SCOTUS decision that made it possible for me NOT to have to join a union Janus v. AFSCME … Read more

by Rob Roper

The Equity Advisory Group (EAG) to the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) heard testimony on July 9th from Richard Giddings of the Department of Children and Families about how the Clean Heat Standard law would impact low-income Vermonters who receive home heating assistance in the winter.

A Cautionary Note to New Hampshire Municipalities To Avoid Tax Credit Schemes

Nashua City officials partnered with Mascoma Bank to accept New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) federal money, providing tax credits to private businesses to provide additional funding to construct our Performing Arts Center.

Support Your Local Police And Keep them Independent

by Op-Ed

One of the key reasons American liberty stands today is because our founders designed a unique system of local control of law enforcement; where the loyalties of family and friends are a precious guardian of liberty. Being blessed to see 87 years gives perspective on how things have changed. One such perspective is the gradual process to move local control of police to federal control.

A Lot of RTK Tax Supporters Support Kelly Ayotte

by Jim Bowman

As endorsements are coming in for all candidates for all offices, like last night’s floodwaters, I want to call attention to some of Kelly Ayotte’s “problem endorsers.” No, I’m not talking big-time Deep State people, businesses, and organizations, but people that any respectable Nashua homegrown candidate for any office should shun.

The War on Children

by Op-Ed

In American society today, we are seeing a “War on our Children.” This is an orchestrated attempt by “Big Tech” to gain control of our children’s minds and hearts, and they have been doing an excellent job so far. Smartphones are their weapon.

Night Cap: Lack of Separation between Church & State explains the NH YDC Sex Abuse Cover Ups

by Op-Ed

To understand the New Hampshire Youth Detention Center’s Cover Ups of child sex abuse, think about the Diocese of Manchester, its attorneys, investigators, the AG’s office, and decades of a partnership supporting corruption above the law — there is no separation of powers.

Elon Calls Out Our Rigged Elections … But What Can Republicans Do About It?

by Ed Mosca

In a nutshell, our elections are designed to allow the Left to cheat. It’s that simple. Mail-in ballots and drop-boxes are unverifiable. Yet that is how the so-called “swing States” conduct elections.

The New ‘Grok Goes Live This Weekend …

by Steve MacDonald

The design team has informed me that everything is ready, and the plan is to move to the newest iteration of The Grok this weekend. Just in time. The old site is not looking so good.

Kuster and Pappas Protect Non-Citizen Voting “Rights”

by Steve MacDonald

Chip Roy’s Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (HR8281) does this crazy thing. It says what the federal law already says: Non-citizens cannot vote in US elections. They can’t. It’s illegal. But there’s no mechanism to ensure that. HR8281 says you must prove you are a citizen to register and vote. Provide proof. Neither of New Hampshire’s Dem House Critters voted for it.

Executive Council Funds Unethical Mental Health Practices in NH’s Public Schools

by Ann Marie Banfield

Many people contacted the Executive Council to ask them to turn down a half million dollar grant that would be used to further support the Multi Tiered System of Support for Behavior in our public schools. The MTSS-B is a framework focused on a child’s behavior and mental health. Now that the MTSS-B has been implemented in New Hampshire Schools, we are discovering all kinds of problems.

Night Cap: No Elected Official Is Above the Law

by Op-Ed

All elected officials, from the President of the United States down to those who serve their towns as public library trustees, take an oath of office. While the wording of these oaths might differ, they have one thing in common: they require the oath-taker to support the United States Constitution.

Granite Post News is “Part of a Coordinated Effort With Deep Ties to Democratic Political Operatives”

by Steve MacDonald

So-called independent web portals keep popping up in New Hampshire. They are well funded with professional staff, but try not to look it because they are actually partisan political fronts pretending to be unbiased, disinterested observers. They want you to trust them.

Fixing What’s Wrong With the New Hampshire Senate

by Jim Bowman

Suppose for a moment that you, the reader, live in the most corrupt and bluest city, and there are a handful of tireless truth seekers who keep getting knocked down by city hall, its agencies, activists, and even the courts. How fortunate you are if you have such people willing to use their time, money, skills, and peace of mind to keep on trying!

Dem State Rep. Angela Brennan – To Prevent Dictatorship, We Must Practice Dictatorship

by Ed Mosca

State Rep Angela Brennan believes that in order to prevent a dictatorship, we must practice dictatorship. Sort of like the “to save the village, we had to destroy the village,” supposedly said by someone in the U.S. military during the Vietnam War. Let’s put this as simply as possible so even Angie can (hopefully) understand it.

Has Democrat-Beta-Rep Heath Howard Even Read The Declaration of Independence?

by Ed Mosca

Leaf-eating, beta-male Rep Heath Howard (Democrat – Strafford/Barrington) believes that the founding principle of America was “we did not want a king.” This beta male has either never read the Declaration of Independence or is rewriting it.

Useful Idiot Part VI … “Rep” Alissandra Murray Does NOT Celebrate Independence Day (Not On July 4th, That Is)

by Ed Mosca

This is the company that Terry Red-Flag Roy keeps. Specifically, Manchester State Rep (in name only) Alissandra Murray, whose reelection Red-Flag Roy essentially endorsed. Alissandra apparently believes that we should celebrate Juneteenth as Independence Day:

What “Paying Just a Little More” Really Means

by Rob Roper

Vermonters who don’t pay close attention to politics may have been surprised this month (July 2024) to find their paychecks a little lighter than expected, the result of a new payroll tax passed into law last year (Act 76).
