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
The aggravation over the failure of the turbine blade at Vinyard Wind continues to escalate. The foam and fiberglass that have plagued Nantucket all summer finally made it to Martha’s Vineyard. It seems appropriate, given the offshore farm’s name. But these alien invaders were not so quickly dispatched as the “migrants” were last year. In … Read more
Dan Richard appeared before the court on Friday for oral arguments in his case against the State of New Hampshire. He made time to update us over the weekend (on Facebook), which I’ve captured and shared with Rumble so non-facebook folks can check it out. Dan has been on a tireless crusade to get the … Read more
By now, most readers know that I’m all about right-to-know and have discussed the records of misguided Rs that voted the wrong way on HB 1002’s most recent roll call. As mentioned in Spike’s recent article, I’ve “gone scorched earth” on groups giving high marks to enemies of 91A. On a personal note, my first … Read more
New Hampshire has had its share of voting irregularities, both investigated (poorly, but still) and those not. But none of the local efforts to move to paper ballots, even in towns where it wouldn’t even begin to be a hardship (which is all but a few), have succeeded. People either don’t care to show up … Read more
Greed and Fear was published in early 2018. The author, Derek Galanis, an Uber insider into the criminal underbelly of “underground financiers” and fraudsters dating back to the mid-1970s, states that his book is “all true.” Essentially, it is his plea deal allocation before sentencing to federal prison. Has Congress deposed him? We want to … Read more
Today is my 1,400th article published and consecutive day writing, and I wish I had something more upbeat to opine on. Unfortunately, in these crazy upside-down times, we have much to be upset about, and positive stories are yearned for. The Chinese cartel illegal marijuana enterprise continues to evolve, and the two newest elements should … Read more
If you care about children, Medicaid and the economy, you won’t be voting for John Stephen for the Executive Council. Mr. Stephen was head of DHHS when extreme child abuse was taking place at the Youth Detention Center (YDC) and in other state youth facilities. The taxpayers are now on the hook for damages from … Read more
Neither Mike Bordes nor Travis O’Hara should be allowed to go back to Concord, and while they’d be better than most Democrats, you’d actually have to show up for that to work, which makes this rather amusing. Bordes wrote an Op-Ed for the Laconia Daily Sun, pimping O’Hara as prepared and present for County Delegation … Read more
The University of New Hampshire released a poll (The Green Mountain State Poll) on how Vermonters feel about the economy, taxes, and the high cost of living. While an overwhelming majority of Republicans think it stinks and is getting worse, and a majority of Independents tend to agree, 25% of Democrats said, “Nah, things are … Read more
Another special interest group, Citizens Alliance, has released a legislative scorecard today. Like others that the Grokster known as “Spike” has said I’ve “gone scorched earth on,” this group is no different. There are 68 reps in their “good standing” category. Of those 68, 18 are enemies of 91A. Without further delay, here they are: … Read more
