Dear Superintendent Kelley and members of the Bow School Board: Per my presentation to the School Board this evening, Pursuant to the Right to Know Law (RSA, 91-1), I am requesting public access, within 5 business days, to the governmental records: 1) Some parents no longer feel comfortable bringing any problems before the school board. … Read more
The petty tyrants in the Bow-Dunbarton School district are, as predicted, getting sued. But it’s even better than I imagined. The suit names a handful of entitled pricks from the peace officer sworn to protect and defend the Constitution who stood ready to arrest them (Lieutenant Phil Lamy) to the Superintendent (Marcy Kelley) and School … Read more
A Vermont dairy family has been issued a notice by their town demanding that they obtain a building permit because they have more than two political yard signs (that support GOP candidates) displayed on their property. Rather than pay the $25 fee (plus 3% for credit cards) to comply, young newlyweds Sara and Ryan Bullis … Read more
Of the many unique Vermonters wishing to represent their district one name begs the question – who is VL Coffin? VL is short for Voranus Lothrop, named after Lieutenant VL Coffin, a volunteer in the Civil War from Maine. Like his namesake who served as a senator, among other positions in Maine’s government around the … Read more
Allowing biological boys to play on girls’ teams is literally ending girls’ sports for some. It’s canceling games and driving biological girls away. This reality is unlikely the desired result, but predictable to many. In New Hampshire, trans-identifying player Maelle Jacques is defying state law (HB1205) and is playing against girls with the Kearsarge, NH “girls” … Read more
Follow the Law – NOT! The Kearsarge School District is openly flaunting its disregard for NH’s HB1205 law, worse than CA Gov. Gavin Newsom violating Federal Law when it comes to illegal immigration. They just don’t care – their ideological beliefs demand that “My Truth” trumps any legalities that come this way. And when fellow … Read more
Grok Media LLC and GraniteGrok.com have completed the site design evolution from a state-level hobby blog to one built for a much wider audience while maintaining a solid grasp on its New Hampshire roots. Future growth demanded it, and the response has been very positive. However, to continue improving and growing, we need donors and … Read more
Don’t vote for Ayotte . . . unless she recants what she wrote in her 2019 pandemic book: Ending the Cycle of Crisis and Complacency in U.S. Global Health Security. In her book Ayotte discusses the need to: Much of so-called “misinformation” that was censored during the 2020 Covid pandemic turned out to be quite accurate. … Read more
Windsor County has long been a Democrat and Progressive stronghold. Its largest town, Hartford, has voted overwhelmingly blue (approximately 70%) since at least as long as they’ve used Dominion voting machines, maybe even longer. However a shift has been taking place of late, and one person who finds herself at the center of it is … Read more
It has been nearly ten years since (then) Governor Maggie Hassan signed the hands-free law prohibiting motor vehicle operators from using handheld electronic devices. We were told it would reduce traffic fatalities (Death on the Highway!). I never believed it and suggested things would get worse. They did. New Hampshire reported 95 motor vehicle-related deaths … Read more
One week after our detailed report on Eastern Equine Encephalitis, two more New Hampshire residents have since tested positive. The headline reads Two Hospitalized, but if you read the short report, they were released (one from Derry, the other from Newmarket). If they had EEE in its rare and potentially fatal form, I doubt they … Read more
Voters should remember that Democrats voted overwhelmingly against parental rights this last legislative session. I’m not sure when our fundamental rights as parents became a partisan issue. Something happened that caused Democrats to stand squarely against parental rights. Democrats do not consider due process in this decision either. When it comes to your child going … Read more
This is a reminder that Superintendents throughout New Hampshire are not willing to remove pornographic books from the school library. However, in Bow, their Superintendent is willing to stop a parent from wearing a wristband with XX written on it. This is the state of public education in New Hampshire. If you are not familiar … Read more
Details are starting to emerge surrounding the apparent pedophile meet-up at a Vermont campground located outside of the state capitol in the small town of Plainfield, VT. A town meeting held in Marshfield on September 17th and was attended by several dozen community members with many others attending online. At the meeting the owner of … Read more
I’d never heard of this loser until today. His name is Misah Pride (sounds made up to me). He is the mayor of South Portland. It’s across the Fore River from North Portland. It is safer than the way Joyce Craig left Manchester, NH (most cities are), is mostly white, picked Biden over Trump in … Read more
Nancy Mace (R-SC) introduced H.R. 7909-Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act in April. The summary of the bill: This bill establishes that domestic violence crimes and sex offenses shall be grounds for making a non-U.S. national (alien under federal law) inadmissible and deportable. The bill applies to any non-U.S. national who has admitted to … Read more
I keep thinking that his missive below is just because of stupidity. Or it is purely ideological in nature, given his vociferous attempts on Policy JBAB to ensure suppression of the Free Speech of students and adults on school property concerning “preferred pronouns.” And that Staff can be forced by the School Board’s policy to … Read more
[Update] 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. Quite a bit of new information has come my way since this was published, and I will write a follow-up in the coming days. … Read more
The annual ritual is upon us. Like the arrival of autumn, the state selects one out of the thousands of likely candidates for prosecution as a patsy to charge with illegal voting. It is a dog and pony show. Look, see; we prosecute illegal voting (which we are otherwise told never happens). WMUR – Joshua … Read more
A weekend escape for “Minor Attracted Persons” (MAPs) in rural Vermont has attracted strident public criticism. The chosen location and theme for the three-day event – a wooded campground with hiking trails near a local pre-K through 12th-grade public school – has elevated an already controversial issue into closer scrutiny. Though MAP may soon be … Read more
