The State of Massachusetts is a hair’s breadth away from changing the meaning of family at the most nascent level of government involvement – the birth certificate. The House Ways and Means Committee voted 40-0 to adopt the bill H.4750 after several rounds of amendments which will move it along to the senate for final … Read more
There is concern about the shortfall in funds needed for the complainants of YDC sexual abuse. Please bear in mind that there does not seem to be any watchdog to vet the attorneys and which claims are real, which claims are false, and which claims are exaggerated. We want to thank Claire Best for this … Read more
You will, by now, have heard of the sordid tale of Sonia Prince and alleged antisemitism. Sonia is no Liberal Wallflower, and her latest outrage isn’t anything new except that she was aiming it at a Democrat because she supports that candidate’s opponent. If you missed it, Prince called out Executive Councilor and Democrat Gubernatorial … Read more
Police have accused a New Hampshire Bible-believing Christian of posting “criminally threatening, coercive and hateful” messages on the door of a LGBTQ-affirming church in Dover, NH, but it is abundantly clear that the message he posted was based in Biblical Truth and love. Now the Gospel message itself is on trial in New Hampshire District … Read more
Hampton Town Clerk Shirly Doheny has just been ordered by the NH Attorney General’s Office to Resign for what amounts to criminal indifference, gross negligence, or just serial incompetence when it comes to the Hampton Town Election. The letter outlining the investigation leading to the request is included below. Doheny is alleged to have violated … Read more
The two most viable Democrats seeking an opportunity to replace the retreating Governor Chris Sununu are busy appeasing their base with promises of a green energy mecca and sanctuary for foreign criminals. Craig is running on her tenure as Governor of Manchester, the state’s largest city, while Warmington is running away from her lobbying past. … Read more
If you want an example of dragging something out, you’d do well to consider the case of former NH State Senator Jeff Woodburn. Back in 2018, the North Country Democrat had a future. He would likely have run for Governor. An aspiring political climber, knocked off the ladder of success by accusations of domestic violence. … Read more
One area that needs more investigation is the NH Division of Children, Youth, and Families (“DCYF”). Given the department’s turnover (including the head honcho) this last year, I need an up-to-date Organizational Chart. While there is a “bare” organizational chart here (24 pages of it), go ahead and tell me EXACTLY what it depicts—it’s only titles, … Read more
Notice of Controversy On this day, July 31, 2024, we, the undersigned members of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, call on the Speaker of the House, Sherman Packard, to call the House back into special session to review the recent decisions of the Supreme Court Of The United States (SCOTUS) in S.E.C. v. Jarkesy … Read more
Don’t hold your breath waiting for an answer to the question in the title. But before we get to that question, let’s first revisit ‘a something’ from four years ago that’s related. Monica Cannon Grant (MCG) insulted Rayla Campbell for having a white husband. If you’re unfamiliar with either of them, MCG is an unhinged … Read more
A new report released by MassInc and UMass Donahue claims that over 480,000 Massachusetts residents, or 10% of the state’s workforce, are not proficient in English. Is that a sanctuary problem? Do you think it will stay in Massachusetts? The problem comes directly from open borders and illegal immigration. The report states that 480,000 people … Read more
We should first congratulate future Senator Emily Phillips on receiving an AFP endorsement (regular readers know I’ve given AFP some mixed reviews). Please donate to Emily if you can, no matter what Senate district you call home. Senator Gannon has some deep-pocketed elite support in his arsenal. No amount is too small. You can also learn more about … Read more
At last count, over 200 illegal Chinese marijuana “farms” were operating in the Pine Tree State. These are not your conventional salt-of-the-earth farms. These illegal pot farms are residential homes bought by the cartel and modified to allow hundreds of cannabis plants to be grown under one roof. Windows were covered, extra electrical service was … Read more
Some of you will have clicked the headline to provide the obvious answer to the question, so let me save you some carpel tunnel—there is no need to mouse-scroll or swipe to the bottom to comment. Yes, the Second Amendment helps protect all the other rights, enumerated or not. That’s not what I meant. I’m … Read more
When I was counsel to the New Hampshire Department of Security, I was summoned to federal jury duty. I begged off because an NH statute precluded my position from jury service. The gods in the Federal District decided a state statute did not bind them. I was ordered to appear for federal jury service. The … Read more
New Ham Last week, Gov. Chris Sununu signed the state’s first law pertaining to these programs, which will fund a Department of Revenue Administration study on the potential lost timber tax revenue and require the Division of Forestry to create a registry of all carbon offset sites in the state. It was introduced in the state House … Read more
Readers of GraniteGrok are well aware of the Founder’s fear of tyranny and how they would perceive the current imperial presidency. For those who don’t have their copy of the Anti-Federalist Papers handy, here are some quotes: Cato No. 4 (possibly written by George Clinton but definitely not by this George Clinton): “He is not … Read more
I work seven days a week, so making time for other things often requires a bit of juggling. I know how to juggle (both time and objects), so this is not outside my wheelhouse. And when I got an invite to be part of the Tall Ships parade in Porstough Friday, I was like, YES! … Read more
Even the most politically active among us tend to ignore the races for County Commissioner, but having met a few and worked on other projects with some, I learned how important that gig is. They are responsible for your county budget, spending, and taxes, and while you have a County Delegation, having good Commissioners can’t … Read more
My RTK journey began almost 2 years ago when the City of Nashua was appraised for new property values (Laurie Ortolano has a wealth of examples to supplement mine). Shocked by my personal copy of their report, I sought to know specific methods in which specific types of properties were appraised, compared to one another, … Read more
