Even the most politically active among us tend to ignore the races for County Commissioner, but having met a few and worked on other projects with some, I learned how important that gig is. They are responsible for your county budget, spending, and taxes, and while you have a County Delegation, having good Commissioners can’t … Read more
My RTK journey began almost 2 years ago when the City of Nashua was appraised for new property values (Laurie Ortolano has a wealth of examples to supplement mine). Shocked by my personal copy of their report, I sought to know specific methods in which specific types of properties were appraised, compared to one another, … Read more
If you traveled 1000 miles and asked 100 People, depending on their age, if New Hampshire was a border state, almost no one would guess yes. And if it weren’t for the First in the Nation Primary, once you got away from the northeast, I doubt anyone would know the state exists. The fact that … Read more
Dear Goffstown Republican voters: please don’t elect a Democrat campaigning as a conservative in your upcoming September 10 primary. Yes, he has served on Goffstown boards for many, many years, but is Goffstown better off for it? Back in March, Peter Georgantas, Goffstown’s current Select Board chair, motioned to NOT recommend and then voted against … Read more
The district that always gets all the attention, money, and resources certainly doesn’t need MY attention as I’m just a private citizen voter that can’t vote in that primary. However, if I could, it would probably be for Hollie. Norm Silber introduced us last spring at the Pine Tree Riot event, and she made a … Read more
GraniteGrok reported Tuesday on a court case involving the Exeter School District. It involves a student who played on the school football team and was punished for telling another student that he refused to use improper pronouns when addressing trans students. It was argued that the student had free speech rights, and the punishment for … Read more
Kameltoe Harris is unqualified because she is unqualified. Ever hear her try to speak extemporaneously? She’s, at best, incoherent. She is a product of the MACHINE … having gotten ahead in California politics “thanks to” San Fran Mayor Willie Brown … and is every bit the figurehead as BidenX. The only difference is that there … Read more
Would it surprise you to know that twenty American universities still require proof of COVID vaccination to attend? Seven are in Califonia, five are in Georgia, and a few are each in Ohio, PA, and Louisiana, one in Michigan, and one in New Hampshire. There are a number of vaccinations that have always been required … Read more
I’ve never been overly fond of the New Hampshire Fiscal Policy Institute’s (NHFPI) research, but sometimes, you find a helpful nugget. Take this February 2024 report on “Poverty and Food Insecurity in New Hampshire During and Following the COVID-19 Crisis.” It is a lot of words and charts divining who is having trouble living comfortably … Read more
“One left to do!” And that is how I left my last video with Mike Rogers – and this is the last one. As with the others before, my singular question to Don (also a long-term Grokster) was (paraphrased): “What is the most important thing that GraniteGrok has brought to NH”? So, at Groktoberfest held … Read more
Let’s talk about that carpenter-hating elitist nut job Jeanne Dietsch and her lunacy-promoting group, Granite State Matters. Much has already been said about her and her group, but a new 9-minute video appears to have been added to the site within the past month. If you freeze it at 5:26, it says, “94 legislatUREs trained to promote Koch interests.” … Read more
In the halcyon days of 2021, the Exter School District made all sorts of news. In June, we broke a story that went national about how the High School managed unvaccinated prom attendees. And why not? The Exeter Regional School District already had a long line of embarrassing reports exposing its woke, anti-liberty tendencies (and lawsuits … Read more
While standing on the sidewalk (a public place) for the Brookline July 4 parade (a public event), a public figure (Melanie Levesque) participating in the parade extended her arm and pointed her index finger at me. She said, “THERE’s my stalker,” presumably because I was holding a sign reminding the voters of her record on … Read more
Yes, bitter-clingers, I know that your illustrious Sun-King Chris Sununu has approximately one-quarter of his (thankfully) final term remaining … but we have seen enough to opine on the Sun-King’s legacy. Simply stated, the Sun-King leaves office a pariah in the national Republican Party and an irrelevancy in national politics. And as for New Hampshire, … Read more
Check out Ethan DeWitt’s “reporting” (tweet below) … “Sununu signs bans on trans girls in girls’ sports, gender affirming surgeries for minors.” The vast majority of Americans, including in New Hampshire, view the issue as boys participating in … and dominating due to their physical advantages … girls’ sports. Yet DeWitt uses the term “trans … Read more
Part 1 Part 2 Today I opened an email from a parent who informed me that an anesthesiologist at Boston Children’s Hospital was charged with producing and sharing child pornography. One would think that this would be one of the most trusted places for their children to be treated, and yet, children may have been … Read more
It certainly appears that Alissandra Murray’s top issue … after boys playing girls’ sports, life-altering medical procedures on children, such as chemical castration, grooming children attending public schools … is the destruction of the State of Israel. “Free Palestine” is shorthand for “Free Palestine from the river to the sea,” which geographically is the entirety … Read more
We are setting up expos to kick off a new effort to provide information, support, and connections to families who are not happy with their current schools, and want to explore the many other education options they may not know about.

Like many other groups that want you to think that they have the best interest of your liberty and your wallet at heart, Granite State Taxpayers (GST) releases a scorecard, and the 2024 report is in! Of the 67 reps they’re honoring with so-called “perfect scores,” 25 of them voted for the RTK tax(HB 1002). … Read more
Republicans agree, “It is NH’s responsibility to provide for an adequate education.” American students face strong competition in today’s world. Offering each student a good, safe educational opportunity leading to a successful future is Republicans’ top priority. Unfortunately, preparing students for success isn’t Democrats’ top priority. Democrats’ top priority is funding the public school system. … Read more
