By Niko Roswell – New Hampshire usually goes first. It began with voting but has trickled into NH education, law, church, and culture. After the federal separation of church and state, New Hampshire began to go first in all things criminal. Four nuns were allowed to sue the bishop, the US’s first court case was … Read more
Folks who know me understand that when I get poked, I often poke back. Probably a Marine thing. So, when The Grok published a sad screed by a Granite State bomb thrower, I considered whether to respond. Friends advised against it. “Just ignore it.” The thing is that the truth is important, and I don’t … Read more
I’ve written plenty of pieces trashing bad reps, but what about recognizing some good ones? I think it’s a good idea, but most of us already know the most distinguished ones. I praise them “as a group,” in the same way the Patriots requested their Superbowl introduction be done after the opponent’s “chosen ones” were … Read more
By Rep.John Sellers – Everyone who reads the Grok knows the primary is around the corner. We have a few races in which I believe if the right person gets that position, then the citizens of NH will be winners. This is why I am supporting Chuck Morse (governor) and Casey Crane (CD2). On the … Read more
Once you start researching NGOs, you quickly realize that they are a complex network designed to disguise their true intentions and how they spend the taxpayer money they are awarded. NGO stands for Non-Government Organizations. The government does not directly control them; their employees are not government employees. Still, these organizations survive by working for … Read more
Another year of loose gun laws and another year as one of the safest states in the country. And no, correlation does not imply causation, but this has been happening yearly for a very long time. One analysis or the other inevitably arrives at the same conclusion. New Hampshire is a very safe place to … Read more
When I saw Rep Moffett’s article announcing his run for reelection, I remembered that I recently (at Loudon Old Home Day on 8/10) learned that he’s in a primary. Loudon is a red town that has two ordinary reps, Jose Cambrils being the other one, plus a 3rd, Alvin See, who is shared with several … Read more
We have two stories this morning, “ripped” from the virtual pages of our New Hampshire headlines. The first follows the travails of two teen boys who identify as girls who want to play school sports. But the evil legislature and that Sununu person signed a law separating students in sports in grades 5-12 by their … Read more
Greetings, readers of the ‘Grok, and thanks, as always, for spending time with us. I wanted to provide a quick update on the site and some upcoming adjustments. We are still planning to add dates or date flags for the content on the archive/category pages. It’s mostly a scheduling thing with the design team. Second, … Read more
For going on half a decade, beginning with the lead-up to the passage of the Global Warming Solutions Act (GWSA) in 2020, the Democrat/Progressive majority’s Voldemort number – that which shall not be named – is what these greenhouse gas reduction policies will cost Vermonters. They have already spent millions of our taxpayer dollars on … Read more
As the Gulf of Maine Offshore Wind project speeds along its out-of-control-freight-train collision with reality, Orsted – a leader in failed East Coat wind projects, announced it is still losing obscene amounts of money. “Orsted estimated the value of its assets declined $472 million in the first half of 2024, largely due to delays at … Read more
From the cooler evening weather to the jam-packed “Back to School” section at Walmart, we all understandably feel the pressure to consider Fall plans for our children. There are options aplenty, and the Educational Freedom Account pathway promotion is in full, political, high gear. The EFA is a fourth educational pathway to satisfy compulsory attendance … Read more
The Governor Wentworth Regional School District (GWRSD) has signed a contract with Great Schools Partnership (GSP). Why was this a waste of money? All one has to do is look at its track record in Maine to see how it wasted money on this consulting organization. GWRSD just paid $83,250.00 to GSP consultants for an … Read more
The Seabrook School Board has formed a committee to consider withdrawing from SAU21. Remember, SAU21 is focused on politicizing the district rather than improving academic outcomes. First the SAU called in the radical leftist political group Seacoast Outright for a day of professional development training for their teachers. SAU21 then called in another political day … Read more
The walkback of New Hampshire’s transgender sports ban has achieved escape velocity. News broke late last week of a lawsuit brought by a transgirl who just wanted to play soccer with all the “other girls.” The courts will likely stay the law while the case idles through the so-called justice system, effectively neutering the legislature’s … Read more
Before you start thinking about Mr Hand, though a history teacher, I want you to consider some math. I’m going to list 32 NH towns in 3 separate lists. Please check if one of them is yours or close to yours. Group A Group B Group C The primary is Tuesday, September 10, and the … Read more
Last week, the State of New Hampshire, His Excellency, and the Attorney General’s Office were crooning about a new 65 million-dollar settlement. Concord, NH – Today, Governor Chris Sununu and Attorney General John Formella announce that New Hampshire will begin to receive tens of millions of dollars in settlement funds as a result of the … Read more
Senator Jeanne Shaheen, the Debt Machine, is all handshakes and smiles after milking future taxpayers for another 31 million dollars. Shaheen, who ran in 2008 opposing more debt, has added 25 trillion more during her tenure in the US Senate. What’s another 31 million at this point, eh? The rebates will help selectees purchase 110 … Read more
Have the lunatics taken over the asylum? What happens when you cater to the lowest common denominator? Is this simply the result of socialism? Obvi, Carla has some things to say this week! Tammy leads us through the NHLA-endorsed Manchester candidates; we talk Trump and Elon, and more!
