I was sitting in a recent committee hearing at the statehouse listening to Planned Parenthood and the NH Women’s Foundation argue in favor of a Senate bill (SB 486) that would require employers in the state to cover all abortions in their health plans.
Bernie Sweeps to Victory in Nevada While Biden Gets a Lifeline
2020 is shaping up to be a hard lesson for the political elites. If the Bernie Juggernaut keeps this momentum the candidates of choice will both be non-establishment outsiders. The Democrats, of course, will do all in their power to keep Bernie off their ticket. But what does that look like?
NH House Advances Waiting Period to Purchase Firearms
The gun-grabbers in the New Hampshire legislature have advanced a compromise bill. That’s what they’d call it. It forces a three-day waiting period on the purchase of firearms by law-abiding citizens. Felons, who don’t have to wait were pushing for the seven-day waiting period.

Charter Schools Improve Education Opportunities
Rejecting the $46 million public charter school grant could cost taxpayers up to $178 million over the next ten years, according to a new report from the New Hampshire Department of Education. Rejecting these funds would be a costly mistake that New Hampshire families cannot afford, fiscally or in terms of the opportunity for students … Read more
Maine Democrat Bre Kidman’s Campaign logo (She’s Running for US Senate) is a Guillotine
I am not at all offended by the campaign logo of US Senate candidate (from Maine) Bre Kidman. I find it refreshing. The logo for the Democrat challenger for the seat currently held by Part-Time Republican Susan Collins is a guillotine.

Brilliant! Team Trump Twitter Video Takes Nancy and Her Speech Tearing Antics to the Wood Shed
My first take on the State of the Union was that Nancy screwed up. Tearing up the speech was terrible optics. A speech loaded with good news (in particular) for women and minorities. Pelosi tore it up and team Trump is making Democrats pay a price.
Committee Gives Thumbs Down to Adding Abortion Rights Amendment to the NH Constitution
CACR 14 was a proposed amendment to the NH Constitution. Its sponsors wanted to enshrine reproductive rights (abortion) into a document they barely know and often ignore. But for some reason, they figured it would keep us from messing with it.
Dems Wear Traditional Klan Colors to SOTU While Trump Announces Record Low Black Unemployment
Democrats are bitter clingers. Not Max Klinger, though there could have been a man in that congressional audience wearing women’s white. No, I mean bitter clingers. Bitter the way a child glares at someone else who has the toy they say they wanted.
BOLO – White Sedan w/ Bernie Sticker
The State Police issued a BOLO (be on the lookout) for a small white sedan with Massachusetts plates and a Bernie for President sticker on it. It is reported that three black males are wanted for an armed home invasion in Bow, New Hampshire. They were reportedly armed with a rifle, a shotgun, and a … Read more
Republican Wins “Closely Watched” Special Election in Texas Democrats Labeled a Bellwether
Now that the Democrats have lost what was billed as a Bellwether special election, the narrative will be “actually, it didn’t matter.” It was a Republican seat in a district Trump won by 10 points. Okay, then why did the Left dump gobs of cash to try and flip it if it didn’t matter?
Another Opportunity to Save Women’s Sports
The second public hearing for HB 1251, the “Save Women’s Sports Bill” is scheduled for Tuesday, February 4 at 1 pm in the House Education Committee in the Legislative Office Building (LOB), Room 207. Only those who signed up to testify at the first hearing and didn’t have a chance to speak will be allowed to testify.
Is NH the Next Virginia?
Did Governor Sununu think the 22,000 pro-gun, constitution-loving people who showed up in Virginia were actually supporters of anti-gun legislation, or does he think, like governor Northam, that we no longer matter?
A Modest Proposal: Equal Treatment Under the (NHGOP’s) Law
Shortly after last year’s NHGOP Annual Meeting, I wrote a post entitled Identity Politics on the NHGOP eBoard. The accompanying photo cited George Orwell: All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
GrokEndorsement: Chris Ager for NH GOP Committeeman to the RNC
We see this just like the Platform fights – a stark difference to make and a question to be answered: who is the Party for? Is it for the perennial NH GOP Elites, or is it for the rank-and-file delegates, activists, and voters?
Ager vs. Duprey: The Choice
One can often learn something about a person’s true character by examining those with whom they associate or support, giving credence to the old saying that “birds of a feather flock together.” As the son of a legal immigrant father who embraced the American Dream, it is apparent to this writer that our country has … Read more
Biden Asking NH Democrats to House Out-of-State Staffers (Who Will Probably Vote Here)
Back in Feb of 2016, the Sanders and Clinton campaign accused each other of voter fraud. I’m sure they were both guilty. This time around the Biden campaign is looking for temporary housing for out of state staffers (who will probably vote here). For Joe Biden.
