Is Jim Babcock Going To Try Stealing Signs Again?

July 15, 2024 Skip

We’ve covered a bunch of sign stealers over the years – almost back to the time when we started 18 years ago. After all, it comes around every year – hopefuls trying to exercise their Free Speech Rights in getting their message (“I’M RUNNING! VOTE FOR ME!”) out to the electorate. And every year, we … Read more

Remove Your Children From Social and Emotional (SEL) Learning, Here’s Why

July 15, 2024July 15, 2024 Ann Marie Banfield

As Social and Emotional Learning transitions to Transformative SEL, you will see more radicalized political agendas. Second Step, which is used in many NH schools, shows how some of that will be introduced to your children. CASEL is the gatekeeper for all SEL programs. In one of CASEL’s videos, you can hear how the trainers … Read more

Announcing Education Options Inc. and Our First Expo!

July 15, 2024July 15, 2024 Jody Underwood

We are kicking off a new effort to provide information, support, and connections to families who want to explore education options outside of the traditional public school. Our main population is conservative families who are not happy with public schools but who aren’t aware of all their options. Our non-profit organization and website have just … Read more

So, About that New Web Site of Yours …

July 15, 2024July 15, 2024 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

The “Value Add” Rationale is Clobbering the Unions

July 15, 2024July 14, 2024 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

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

July 13, 2024 Laura Colquhoun

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.

A Lot of RTK Tax Supporters Support Kelly Ayotte

July 13, 2024July 13, 2024 Julie Smith

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.

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

September 20, 2024July 11, 2024 Claire Best

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?

July 11, 2024 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.

Kuster and Pappas Protect Non-Citizen Voting “Rights”

July 11, 2024July 11, 2024 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

July 11, 2024July 11, 2024 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

November 19, 2024July 10, 2024 Arlene Quaratiello

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.

‘Tis the (Election) Season

October 10, 2024July 10, 2024 Amanda Weeden

Politics in NH are interesting, as I’m sure anyone who is paying attention would agree. Hot topics, promises, and clever lies abound.

I’d be seriously slacking in my role as a Homeschool Advocate if I didn’t take the time to touch on the hot topic that has plagued our community for a number of years and become a front-and-center key platform push for politicians in our state.

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

October 10, 2024July 10, 2024 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

July 10, 2024July 10, 2024 Julie Smith

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

October 10, 2024July 9, 2024 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?

July 9, 2024 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)

July 8, 2024 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:

Future State Senator Emily Phillips

July 7, 2024 Julie Smith

In 2022, JR tried to recruit me to primary my senator. I won’t take the readers on a scenic side trip discussing the details of my multiple reasons for declining his request, but he did stroke my ego and I agreed to hear his 30 second ad on why I should say yes because I was flattered that he thought I was “senate material.”

Without His Concurring Aid, We Shall Succeed in This Political Building No Better Than the Builders of Babel

July 7, 2024 Op-Ed

We just celebrated the 248th celebration of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence! Happy Birthday, America! I am sure you know that the Declaration of Independence was meant to be a list of grievances leveled against Great Britain for her being “deaf to the Voice of Justice.
