A marquee message recently displayed in my town of Loudon accused me of being anti-veteran, due to my support of SB418, an election integrity measure recently signed into law by Governor Chris Sununu. Criticism—fair and unfair—goes with the territory for elected officials. While one can’t respond to every slam, replies are occasionally required. This is such an occasion.
We Don’t Need The Government To Care For Us …
Today, it’s with great pleasure that I am announcing my candidacy as a Republican State Representative for Grafton District 18. District 18 includes the towns of Enfield, Canaan, Grafton, Orange, Dorchester, Groton, Hebron, Bridgewater, Bristol, and Alexandria.
So the Editors at the Laconia Daily Sun believe that the US Constitution GIVES us our Rights?
In the June 27 edition of the Sun, Richard Tracy made a great point about rights protected by the U.S. Constitution. Unfortunately, the editors at the Sun may not fully understand the concept of inalienable rights. The headline of the letter read, “Second Amendment at core gives right to self-defense.”
The Constitution isn’t Absolute?
Arguing that “high-caliber” weapons should be federally banned, President Joe Biden claimed, “Remember, the Constitution was never absolute.” Biden was merely advancing the popular notion of a “living breathing Constitution.” According to proponents of this theory, the founders “couldn’t have imagined” all of the changes that would happen over time, such as the development of high-powered, … Read more
Doesn’t Go Your Way, Tear it Down
It is almost comical to watch Liberals react to situations when they do not go their way. Mind you, the Democrats are the party with an issue and want to crucify Donald Trump for not wanting to acknowledge defeat to Biden in 2020. The Democrats are also the Party of Hillary Clinton and Stacy Abrahms, who have yet to recognize their losses in 2020.
Natural Gas. The Lifeline to America’s Energy Future
Seventy-Eight percent of America’s electric power comes from burning fossil fuels. 32% comes from natural gas and the rest from oil and coal. 9.6% nuclear with the rest wind, Hydro, and solar power. Solar and wind power are weather dependent and require power backup when they are not available.
I Support New Hampshire Families
I am running for the office of State Representative in the state of NH. I support families. This means keeping taxes low so that families can keep more of their hard-earned money for themselves. It also means getting children the education that they need so that their futures can be brighter than ours.
Sunday Spotlight: Lieutenant Dan
Other actors are so connected to a role they played but maybe not as much as today’s Sunday Spotlight. Lieutenant Dan has been with us since he came to life in the timeless movie Forest Gump over twenty-five years ago. Lieutenant Dan was a fearless officer in Vietnam who lost his legs to a bombing. Upset, he was saved by Forest Gump, Dan went on to make the most of his life.
Are Pandering Politicians Painting New Hampshire Statesmen Purple?
Government should be a platform where people engage and debate – that’s what our Founders enshrined in the Constitution, so good ideas and worthy candidates could emerge through political discourse. It is a system meant to raise up leaders of the people who legislate for what is important to the communities they serve. In New … Read more
Dealing with Maggie Hassan
Well, here we are. I’m an old guy. I was born a couple of years before Ike Eisenhower was elected US President. It was at the height of American power. Eisenhower had fought the Nazis to surrender. Our industrial power was unmatched in pounding out everything from slingshots, aircraft carriers, and to space weapons. What … Read more
A Great Week for Trump’s MAGA Court
Elections have consequences, and although Trump only spent one term in the White House, his impact is immense. With the three Justices he put on the Supreme Court, he changed American life’s dynamics. As this SCOTUS term closes, the decisions are coming down with a definite Conservative tone. The Liberals are apoplectic. It’s a beautiful … Read more
Gunstock Area Commission: Finally, the Elephant in the Room Is Addressed
And I just loved the way that Commissioner Gary Kiedaisch tried to project that he’s both a victim while being an accuser. I’ll return to this in a bit. First, the videos from the meeting. They are edited for time and issue and if anyone wants the entire meeting, I can provide that as well. … Read more
Night of Rage
Well, we were promised more “mostly peaceful” protests if SCOTUS dared overturn Roe vs Wade. They did and fulfilling their promise “Jane’s Revenge”, a radical group of a radical movement called for “If Row can’t be safe neither can you”. Sure enough, all those mostly peaceful protestors (aka terrorists) turned out, clashed with police in … Read more
Belknap County Republican Committee – Keynote Speaker: JR Hoell vs DCYF
A couple of weeks ago was the monthly meeting of the BCRC where former NH State Representative (and has filed to run again) JR Hoell was the main speaker of the night. His topic was his run-in with DCYF that, apparently, wanted to take his children away from him and his wife simply because he … Read more
Disneyland
As a fifty-year resident of Laconia, N.H., I was shocked to read of the unsolvable bathroom issue at Laconia High School where all bathrooms have been locked and students must stand in line at the nurse’s station to relieve themselves.
Reality Sucks If You’re Biden
Well, “President” Biden has, among other failings, created massive inflation and shortages of just about everything consumers want. High on this list is the cost of gas and oil which under President Trump gas was under $2.00 a gallon but now typically is $4.99.9. All in the Left’s endeavor to force us to “go green”.
It’s Time To Tame Big Tech
Big Tech has spent years silencing and censoring conservative voices. There is little debate about that – and there is mounting proof, even if anecdotal, in the latest Twitter saga.
They’re Coming for Your Lawn Mower
When Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-CA) unveiled her ridiculous Green New Deal three years ago, her ‘fact sheet’ lectured us about the perils of cow farts and the need to eliminate airplanes, while simultaneously waxing poetic about the need to financially support those who are “either unable or unwilling to work.”
Move Over Squad, The Quad is in Town
The Squad has been making noise and pushing the Democrat Party Left for four years. Led by AOC, this group of Congresspeople has been loud but ineffective. They have negatively influenced the party and, more importantly, the country. They garner media attention, but none of them have passed any significant legislation. We can only hope they are a passing fad.`
