It’s pretty bold for a #FITN Candidate, or any candidate for that matter, to come to New Hampshire and tell Granite Staters that we’re doing things wrong. It’s pretty rich, too, coming from a Nanny-stater like Seth Moulton. Speaking with James Pindell from the Globe after an event in Windham, he decided to defend his attack on our Live Free or Die way of life.

Identity Politics as Usual from WMUR
I saw this story a half hour ago and was going to skip writing about the Puerto Rican Governor situation, as none of it really matters. The New Progressive Party will remain in power in Puerto Rico, the island that is so saddled with debt the United States still refuses to allow it incorporation as … Read more

NH Democrats Politicize Tragedy – Waited to Send Anti-Gun Bills to the Governor
If the New Hampshire Democrats really cared about gun control, thinking (incorrectly) that it may save lives, why did three bills seemingly ‘important’ to them sit on the desks Of Democrat Legislative Leaders Donna Soucy and Stephen Shurtleff for 39 days?
Ride along opens eyes, forges pledge to safer city
I RECENTLY HAD the opportunity to go on a ride-along with the Manchester Police Department to gain first-hand insight into what our men and women in blue face each and every day. As a mother raising two young boys in our city, to say it was an eye-opening experience is an understatement. I spent an … Read more
The Need To Divide
Like everyone else, I am horrified – though not surprised – by the increasing epidemic of mass shootings. The blood spilled, the pain endured, the death of loved ones. Of course we want this to stop!
Predictably, Democrats are once again posturing to grab guns as a solution. There are at least three major reasons why this is dangerous, stupid, wrong-headed, and completely ineffective.

Mayor Joyce Craig – Some might call these kickbacks
This was sent in by a ‘Grok reader and I stared at it in horror. I can see a quick lunch being offered by the department…but a “banquet” and “prizes” worth thousands of dollars??? Reformatted, emphasis mine: My friend started a job working for the Manchester Cemetery maintenance department. Two weeks ago ,he was cutting the … Read more
Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig: a lousy education legacy
Mayor Joyce Craig has done nothing to improve the quality of education in Manchester. As Chairman of the Board, she should have come in with a plan to improve the public schools in Manchester.

After Victoria had filed her candidacy paperwork at Manchester City Hall (“FIX THE CLOCK!“) and had addressed her supporters, I was able to get a bit of an interview with her. Go with me here – a bit of “non-interview” at first but I think it adds a bit as to her character.

Groksters wrote many articles about the adventures of … Read more

From my inbox: Anyone else find it funny that NH’s loony-left bills mirror Maine’s almost exactly? For the sake of perspective, does anyone else find it funny that Maine’s loony left bills mirror New Hampshire’s almost exactly?
