On Monday I officially announced my candidacy for the New Hampshire District 24 State Senate seat. The new District 24 includes the towns of Exeter, Greenland, Hampton, Hampton Falls, North Hampton, Rye, and Stratham.
Dems Turn Up the Gas. Gaslight That is.
Gaslight (verb). To cause (a person) to doubt their sanity through psychological manipulation. Gaslighting is a technique used by people who fail to meet expectations to distract from reality. This action is taking place at all levels of government but is most effective at State and Federal levels because those get the media attention. That … Read more
GrokGauntlet – It Is Time! And Lots of People to Grill
And this is not just for Groksters and candidates this time around – readers, you have your role to play as well!
In our GrokGauntlets, we DON’T ask the same types of questions that other media journalists ask in their roundtable with candidates. We are Conservatarian political activists, first, that have built up a large mouthpiece in GraniteGrok – and our questions should, quite well, align with our readerships’ political viewpoints that generally do NOT align with most mainstream media. We want to figure out who you are, what you stand for, and how you view politics, how well you are grounded, and get a sense of what you’d do if you win both the Primary and General Elections.
Can Anyone Defend NYC Drug Campaign
I saw the picture of the PSA drug poster currently being displayed on NYC subway cars, and I was disgusted. I cannot believe how low we have sunk as a society. Like we wake to a new record high gas prices, we also awake to the bar lowered by some government agency or party.
Dover Says “It’s Not a Rain Tax” But Your “Taxes” Will go up Because of the Rain
Remember when NH Democrats said a tax on wages was not an income tax? They got some Freshman stooge to say it out loud, but same difference. A tax on income is an income tax. Democrats in Dover are playing the same game but with rain.
We Can No Longer be Satisfied with Failure of Leadership
We can do better, and we have to do better. We continue to put people into positions of authority or elect people to public office that are not qualified to perform their jobs. The Peter Principle is a concept in the business world where people are moved up the ranks and promoted to their highest level of incompetence.
Sunday Spotlight: God Save the Queen
Each Sunday, I take a step away from daily politics and focus on someone who has done extraordinary things or who we may need to know a little better. This week’s focus is on Queen Elizabeth.
The Mixed Signals Are Getting More Twisted
Rising gas prices are good, as is low weekly job creation. The President thinks that both indicators are favorable signs that his economic policies are working to recover the economy. He is either delirious, ignorant of Economics 101, or was a classmate of AOC. By his sinking approval numbers, not many are buying what Biden … Read more
Inflation Belongs to Putin, and Mass Shootings Belong to Republicans
I listened to Joe Biden’s dramatic speech on Thursday night about his wants and desires for gun control laws in America. He went through a litany of items he called solutions and how deplorable Republicans are for not agreeing with him unconditionally.
Canceling Loans Means Taxpayers Foot the Bill
The shame of the situation is that proponents of a bill to cancel or forgive outstanding student loans do not understand the process. Or worse, they know and are comfortable with someone else paying their debt. Either situation is disappointing and indicative of a generation weaned on entitlements.
Regaining Congress Cannot be About Investigations
It is an expectation by everyone, except Nancy Pelosi, that the Republicans will regain the House and possibly the Senate in November. The latest estimates are for a gain of thirty-five seats for the GOP in the House. Speculation about any swings in the Senate is unclear, and predictions are not forthcoming.
The Left Only Sees Gun Control
We have seen the suffering and mourning for a week now in Uvalde, Texas. They are starting to say goodbye to their loved ones, but it will be a long time before the tears dry for these folk who have had their loved ones taken long before their time. The shooting in Uvalde continues to … Read more
Can Eleven Dollars Make a Difference
Each Sunday, I want to take a step away from daily politics and focus on someone who has done extraordinary things or who we may need to know a little better. This week’s focus is on Frank Siller.
Who is the SCOTUS Leaker?
It has been nearly four weeks since the Washington Post reported the leak from the Supreme Court, and we still are nowhere closer to the truth. That is four weeks of protests by groups favoring Roe v. Wade and the ongoing saga of our Supreme Court justices being in danger from overzealous radicals.
The Gun or the Shooter?
I am sure you would have difficulty finding anyone not touched by the senseless shooting inside the classroom of the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. Whether you have children, grandchildren, or are just a feeling human being, you probably had difficulty sleeping on Tuesday night.
The State of the Union is Far From Good
My blog started its journey on January 25, 2021. Donald Trump had left Washington the week before his new home at Mar-a-Lago, and except for the Pandemic, he turned over a country that was in good shape and ready to come out of hibernation and grow. The Border was secure, inflation at 2%, the stock … Read more
Maggie Hassan Exemplifies Desperation and Misinformation
Maggie Hassan is the junior Senator from New Hampshire and our former Governor. A great question is how she achieved either office. Hassan is a poorly rated Senator and votes 100% along party lines.
Families Have Values, School Boards Do Not.
We know that the education system in this country has been indoctrinating our children for decades. The process began in the colleges and universities where the Progressive and Socialist professors programmed the easily influenced students who thought they were preparing to teach. They would graduate and go on to teach, but they were also, unwittingly, … Read more
Let Him Speak, Then Clean Up the Mess
The White House is faced with a huge conundrum. Do they let the President out of the house and let him speak and answer questions or keep him under wraps. If they muzzle the President, he faces criticism and increased speculation about his health and mental acuity. If they take off the reins and take … Read more
Sunday Spotlight: The Pond is Our Oasis
This past week was so tumultuous that I had difficulty finding someone or thing positive to highlight this Sunday. It is exasperating to see the number of current and impending issues we face. Crime, illegal immigration, inflation, rising gas prices, supply chain issues, infant formula shortage, upcoming global wheat shortage…the list seems to go on … Read more
