Kamala Harris visited the New Hampshire Seacoast last Wednesday for a speech to discuss her economic plan. I have never been so angered by a political speech, and the Harris appearance had many overtones to raise the hair on the back of a Conservative’s neck. The speech focused on the small business incentives proposed by … Read more
When Julie Moore, Secretary of Natural Resources, said the Clean Heat Standards “carbon credit” tax on home heating fuels could drive up costs by 70 cents per gallon, the advocates of the program shouted her down and said, “Wait for the official analysis done by the real experts, you know-nothing, political hack!” (I’m consolidating and … Read more
Regular readers will know that the Donchess regime in Nashua is very selective about the flags it allows on the citizen’s pole—almost, dare I say, partisan in its rejection. Most recently, Stephen and Beth Scaer (who both write for GraniteGrok) asked the city to fly the de-trans flag. It was rejected, and an appeal to … Read more
Most readers already know, at the federal level, which national media personalities are NOT desirable choices for moderating presidential debates. It’s also well known that the participating candidates are to agree upon the format and other details prior to the event. They often “do a walk-through” at the studio or other event site to iron … Read more
Following up on my recent posts about RINOs and Good Guys, these are my recommendations for many of the September 10 primaries. Click the towns to see the earlier posts. Belknap 5 (Laconia 1, 3, 4, 5, 6) Belknap 6 (Gilford, Gilmanton, Laconia 2) Belknap 7 (Alton, Barnstead) Grafton 3 (Lincoln, Woodstock, Easton, Livermore) Disclosure: … Read more
Way back when Rep. Ben Ming first took possession of Sue Homola’s seat in the NH House, he wasted no time in deploying woke identity politics. When he bragged in a tweet that he’s the first Asian to have a seat in the House, I replied that I voted for who would have been the … Read more
Education Options held our first two EdOpt Expos at the Richards Free Library in Newport in August. While there are many things for us to learn, we’re off to a good start. The best part was that all the attendees could point to something that they learned there. I know I was part of a … Read more
I don’t have their responses (yet), but the fact that WMUR even asked this question is (something of) a surprise. Chris later shared a video of the question being asked. pic.twitter.com/ilijmtdzXH — Chris Maidment (@ChrisMaidmentNH) September 5, 2024 Based on the downstream comments, they didn’t answer the question, which is the only safe response. As … Read more
“Your Sheriff is the highest authority in your county, even over the federal government. The sheriff has the authority to deny enforcement of state, federal, and local laws that do not serve your rights or work contrary to your rights. Sherriff Brad Rogers from Elkhart, IN, stood up to the federal government. The FDA and … Read more
As a lawyer in the State of New Hampshire for over 50 years, I am beyond outraged at the recent idiotic decision of the New Hampshire Supreme Court (NHSCOTUS) abridging and destroying parental rights. The leftist intimidation has reached the point where the plaintiff defaults to “DOE” rather than use her Christian name. We want … Read more
New Hampshire likes to advertise how clean and fair its elections are, but if you’ve spent any time here looking into it, this is complete and total bullish!t. From out-of-state voters to mishandled ballots to poorly secured boxes of ballots (and the ever-present “Look, we found one more box”), election integrity has long been an … Read more
The Pease Development Authority (PDA) manages coastal development in New Hampshire. It derives this power from Section 12-G:43 – Division of Ports and Harbors. As an expression of this power, the PDA has set its sights on Rye Harbor, which we’ve reported on previously here and here. In my remarks I expressed concern for the … Read more
Travis O’Hara was on the Transportation Committee and quit or was asked to resign. O’Hara missed 308 votes of the 480 that were recorded because he was absent from sessions. He also voted 31 times against leadership, meaning he voted against the Republican party values. THAT IS NOT REPRESENTATION!!! We want to thank Rep.John Sellers for … Read more
I just received the most dishonest campaign mailer ever. The PAC that did the mailer referenced three totally bogus bills to attack the opposition candidate. If they were honest, they surely could have found three real bills to attack that guy. The mailer blames their target for a bill from 2000 – when he wasn’t … Read more
The NH Supreme Court’s ruling against a mother’s right to know squarely confirms that the state wants your money and your child so the state can do whatever it wants with your child without informing you and with no repercussions for administrators at the school or state employees. Whenever there is an incident or an … Read more
The Vermont Department of Health is still promoting the CDC’s childhood vaccination schedule, suggesting a COVID-19 shot for children as early as six months. Children were neither at risk nor a vector and effectively immune until we started jabbing them. It says pregnant moms should get one, too, absent comprehensive or accurate and complete informed … Read more
The Supreme Court Case between Jane Doe Vs Manchester School District was decided last week. In this case, a parent (Jane Doe) sued the Manchester Schools by challenging the district’s transgender policy. Within the policy, school officials were unable to share information with the parent after the parent questioned them about her child’s name change … Read more
New Hampshire Fish and Game has a problem you’ll be familiar with. Things are getting more expensive, and (no coincidence) fishing and hunting license sales have fallen off. The Fishy Game folks don’t think they’ll have enough money to do everything they do. Okay, do less? That’s what we have to do. We, the People, … Read more
Getting “hit” by pieces like the one in The GROK on Aug 17 by Julie Smith “goes with the territory” for elected officials. There’s no way a state representative can be all things to all people at all times, but we take our roles as crafters of public policy seriously. As such, when we’re presented … Read more
Regular rallies held by the YDC Victim’s Advocate at the statehouse call for a federal investigation into the abuses at the Sununu Youth Services Center, formerly known as YDC. However, as Granite Staters, we can investigate our own government through our House of Representatives. As the Grand Inquest of the State, the House can establish … Read more
