Here at the ‘Grok, we’ve had the good misfortune of watching how Democrats create the need for new taxes in real time. This is important. Dems will run on a platform with no tax hikes or new taxes if they must, but these promises are empty. Once in charge, the first order of business is … Read more

Dear Ms. Fenton, After repeated complaints by residents and parents around New Hampshire, I am requesting an investigation into the illegal actions by the Kearsarge school district, and any other district that has participated in their illegal activity.

In the movie Tootsie, Bill Murray’s character is a playwright who has a running conversation with Dustin Hoffman about a scene he’s writing, “the necktie scene,” that’s just not working. He finally surrenders to Hoffman’s diagnosis of the problem, “I’m rewriting the necktie scene without the necktie.” I was reminded of this joke when I saw … Read more
The Bow-Dunbarton School district has a liberal privilege problem. For the unfamiliar, Liberal Privilege is a lot like radical Islam. If you are advancing the global Ummah, no traditional rules or restrictions apply. You can be a sacrilegious ass and still be rewarded with eternal life, 72 virgins, and all that. Here are a few … Read more
You know the story. For over three years, Joe Biden’s critics repeatedly pointed out what should have been obvious to anyone paying attention that the guy wasn’t mentally with it.

Maybe it’s due to some algorithm that I don’t understand, but hoop star Caitlin Clark has been on my newsfeed constantly for several weeks—even after her Indiana Fever’s early WNBA playoff departure. With the possible exception of Babe Ruth, Caitlin’s probably done more to promote her sport and her league than anyone else ever has. … Read more
Today is a good day to revisit my previous article about Formella because the dropping of charges against the Elbit vandals had to have been approved by him, either actively or passively. Either way, it’s happening on his watch as the ship’s captain. NH Journal posted, “Formella’s office did not respond to a request for … Read more

There is no upside to electing Kelly Ayotte over Joyce Craig. Ayotte will maneuver with stealth in favor of anti-freedom policies and will be difficult for many Republicans to go against. Those same policies initiated by Craig would be resoundingly opposed by Republicans. Donald Trump has been continually battling establishment Republicans. There are many, including Gov. Sununu, … Read more

As I noted in the update to my original post alerting everyone that the NHGOP dissolving the Raymond Town Committee, I observed that “One of the more clumsy ways to get more detail about a situation is to share what you know or have been told, “to get it out there.” That worked.

I feel comfortable saying that there are a small number of registered Democrats who would take a homeless “migrant” into their home and a few more who genuinely believe “sanctuary policies are about doing good, but most of them wouldn’t give a migrant the time of day especially the ones in elected office. It’s virtue … Read more
