Do Republicans win elections by preventing minorities—blacks, Latinos, and others—from voting? For those on the left and their allies in the major media, the answer is yes; even more than that, it’s an article of faith. The left says yes, but the data says NO. Jason Riley, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and contributor … Read more
To the residents of Gilford & Gilmanton, If you are not already aware, our School Board is on the brink of adopting a new transgender nondiscrimination policy based on the passage of SB 263. Now, on the surface, this sounds like a good idea, right? I don’t imagine many people would tolerate a transgendered student … Read more

The LRP (Lakes Region Porcupines) Elves are afoot. As the Lakes Region Porcupines’ annual toy drive is underway, we are seeking donations to help struggling families have a good Christmas. We give each child at least two gifts, but it is usually more than that. 100% of all donations go directly to the kids. We … Read more
This transwoman athlete is giving me flashbacks to jokes about Soviet-era West German Woman Olympians. Hannah Mouncey is a 6′ 2″ and male, except that he’s not. He’s a her and she has an obvious advantage in competition.
“A generation that doesn’t know history has no past; and no future.”-Robert Heinlein (science fiction writer, author, speaker, and “source for” part of the GraniteGrok name)
Rep. Ilhan Omar (Democrat) has made wearing a headscarf seem fashionable, chic and powerful. But it now appears that she was recruited by a foreign government, received funding from a foreign government, and passed sensitive information through intermediates to Iran, a Florida court has been told. It is now claimed that she passed information to … Read more
So, one is from the Kavanaugh trial where the Democrats tried to railroad him off the Supreme Court bench. Or yet another #MeToo event (either real like Harvey Weinstein, or yet hoax for some agenda based reason (er, drinking, buyers remorse, get-the-boyfriend/girlfriend, or just some other obscure reason that we’re supposed already know about). Either … Read more
From Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals: RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.) So while this is a serious topic … Read more
I’m late in putting these videos up of the Gilford School Board’s October meeting where Policy JBAB, the 2008 NH School Board Association’s transgender policy was to be “read” and it was clear that the battle lines had already been drawn up and I think THE operational statement comes down to this: “You will be … Read more
“Mr. Murphy, please submit that question in writing to us…..I have already; twice! No answers” Well, this coverage of the Transgender issue that the Gilford School Board has jumped the gun on may take a while but I think it is important not only on students and staff affected by this but IS THE SCHOOL … Read more
In the aftermath of the Holocaust, many well-intentioned people around the world wondered how it could have happened. And the question for our time is could something like it ever happen again?

“A place where Ideology reigns over money”? Or, “Scott Dunn’s Taj Mahal” (Scott Dunn being the Town Administrator and the main pusher for Gilford’s new Recycle Center / Transfer Station. Sigh…and now the bill has has come due. But not the one you might think. In the beginning, it sounded OK – time to leave … Read more
Official Palestinian Authority TV has run a blatantly anti-Semitic series that ignores factual history and features an adult man teaching a child how to shoot “the Jews,” and characterizes the Jewish people as “cowards,” rapists, “impure schemers,” and “the enemy.”
The concept of “ideological purity” simply means staying 100% true to your ideals and values when you vote. In choosing a candidate for whom to vote for any office or position, isn’t it reasonable to expect that the candidate, if elected, will proceed to deliver votes on critical issues that match the candidate’s campaign rhetoric, … Read more
The Culture Wars Are Here in NH! And the Union Leader Buys In. A recent post by this writer called attention to the ridiculous and insulting reports that the left-wing Democrat Governor of Wisconsin was planning to refer to the state’s Christmas Tree its “Holiday Tree.” So, we now see in today’s Union Leader (Nov. … Read more
This coin was our first minted coin during colonial times; 1787 to be exact. Do you see what it says? MIND YOUR BUSINESS. The flip side says WE ARE ONE. I wonder how many people actually believe that these days.
