On January 21, the NH federal delegation announced a half-million-dollar federal “Title X Dire Need Grant” for Planned Parenthood Northern New England (PPNNE) which encompasses Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire. On February 7, PPNNE announced the closure of their Newport, Vermont facility.
Sunday Spotlight: The Pond is Our Oasis
This past week was so tumultuous that I had difficulty finding someone or thing positive to highlight this Sunday. It is exasperating to see the number of current and impending issues we face. Crime, illegal immigration, inflation, rising gas prices, supply chain issues, infant formula shortage, upcoming global wheat shortage…the list seems to go on … Read more
Skip’s Sauntering Snippets# 6-Gas Prices, Shortages, and what’s the Obama/Biden End Game?
Why is gasoline so high? Who is doing the manipulations behind the scenes and then decrying there’s nothing they can do? What IS the end game that they are trying for? Hint: The Obama retreads that now staff President Asterisk’s Administration knew what was to happen even as Biden was campaigning from his basement. Yep, … Read more
NH Governor Chris Sununu Threatens Freedom of Speech Then Claims to Be Against Overreaching Government
On Friday, when NH Governor Chris Sununu vetoed HB1131, a bill that would have prohibited New Hampshire schools from implementing face mask mandates he said this in his veto message:
Finally, the Laconia Daily Sun wades into the Laconia Superintendent Steve Tucker SNAFU – a Petition Drive.
I’ve been waiting for Pravda on Lake Winnipesaukee to start delving into the goings-on in the Laconia School District (SAU 30) for a while. Finally, with things coming to a boil they did (reformatted, emphasis mine): Petition asking for superintendent’s ouster signed by parents at Pleasant Street School LACONIA — As of Wednesday, 119 parents … Read more
INSANE Number Of Biden’s Twitter Followers Are FAKE
A shocking new report revealed another layer of corruption behind Big Tech’s outsized influence. Despite receiving minimal attention, Mark Zuckerburg unmistakably funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to “outreach” efforts to buy certain electoral results in 2020. Now, we are learning that major Twitter accounts are laden with fraudulent numbers. The New York Post writes: “At … Read more
Fentanyl Deaths are Collateral Damage
Fentanyl death, by poisoning or overdose, is now the leading cause of death in America for the 25 to 45 age group. Originating in China and distributed to the United States by Mexican cartels and smugglers. There is no legal use for this imported drug, and it should be classified as a terrorist act to … Read more
Defund the WTO
Congressman Chip Roy from Texas has introduced the best solution to Stop the WTO’s Global Pandemic Treaty Amendments introduced by the Biden White House. It’s called “No Taxpayer Funding For the World Trade Organization (WTO).”
So, [Republican? Snicker!] Gov. Chris Sununu Told Us All That He Is Anti-parents and All in for the Teacher’s Unions.
I AM ONE OF THOSE PARENTS THAT THE SCHOOL WON’T TELL ME WHAT THE TRANSGENDER STATUS OF MY LEGAL SON IS (“So How Did It Feel, Gilford School Board, to Watch Your Principal Lie to Me in Public Because of Your Policy JBAB?“)! And Sununu wants to keep it that way!
Will There Be Enough Rope to Save Us
I feel we will be looking back at yesterday, May 18, as the day we passed the point of no return. Domestically, internationally, and monetarily, the hammer came down and what remains is barely recognizable.
Biden Promised Normal, This Isn’t Normal
Maybe this is normal. After all, normal is a relative term, so maybe to Joe Biden and his incompetent team, we are precisely where they want us to be. If that is the case, eighty-one million people were sold a bill of goods, and the rest of us can say we told you so.
Gunstock: What Was Foretold Is Now Reality: Guida Retiring, Nominates Lang as Handpicked “Political Son.” Nailed It!
WMUR: State Sen. Giuda announces retirement, endorses Rep. Lang as replacement Not 10 minutes after he got booted from the Committee of Conference where his bill to redo Gunstock went down in flames as Chuck Morse shoved him out of the way. Now, I can’t take total credit for this prophecy made back on April … Read more
Biden’s Ministry of Truth Is Dead and Frau Jankowicz Has Already Left the Building
“You can’t handle the truth” may have been one of the most fantastic lines in Hollywood History, but it is also a tagline of the Biden Administration. A few weeks ago, Joe Biden announced the formation of a new department that would operate under the Department of Homeland Security umbrella. This idea proved to be a flawed and unpopular decision on all fronts and possibly violated many Constitutional rights.
So has NH State Senator Bob Guida just killed his own bill in the Committee of Conference?
UPDATE! HB1397 has been killed. Success Leaders: NH State Rep/Belknap County Delegation Chair Mike Sylvia, NH State Rep and House Majority Leader Jason Osborne, GAC Commissioner Dave Strang, and NH State Rep Norm Silber, Diane Pauer and Speaker Sherm Packard. UPDATE 2: It looks like Guida got a bit of comeupence like Kimberly Rice did on … Read more
ALERT! The 2022 Parental Bill of Rights is at risk of being killed in Committee of Conference
Act before 10 am TODAY: Contact the Speaker of the House to save the bill!
After 8:30 am, please send a short text message to House Leadership asking them to pass the Senate version of the Parental Bill of Rights, HB1431. Please be firm but polite.
NH State Senator Bob Guida’s Agenda (For Gunstock Area Commissioners)
The Daily Sun continues its support of the Citizens for Gunstock by featuring an opinion piece by senator Giuda. While calling out others for dishonesty, he uses incorrect references for support. He claims the delegation violated the enabling statute and claims appointees need ‘experience in ski area business or strategic planning.’ The actual law as amended 2020 … Read more
Silencing the Public at the Nashua Budget Meetings – Right To Know
The City of Nashua has just begun the Budget Review Committee meeting for the 2023 budget. The City will hold 6-7 budget meetings over the next month. Per the City’s NRO 5-14, any committee of the Board shall have public comment at the beginning and the end of the meeting. Alderman Dowd, a seasoned politician, chairs this board. This year, Alderman Richard Dowd decided to cancel public comment and change the name of the meeting to a “working session”. Nowhere is “working session” defined in the charter, NRO’s or policy.
Our Former President is a Creature
The Democrats were apoplectic for four years every time President Trump spoke or tweeted an off-color description of an adversary. Sleepy Joe, Pocahontas, and Crooked Hillary were some that hit the mark and set the media world on fire. The Left claimed this language was below the status of President and was one of the reasons they urged you to vote for Joe Biden. Uncle Joe would bring civility and harmony back to a White House plagued by the evil Orange Man. The hair sniffing look at the hair on my legs in the pool man from Delaware would bring class and decorum back to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Like a cheap used car salesman, they lied.
Another Democrat Vote Buying Program Emerges Before the Elections
Just as the Dems are using various measures to make sure crime pays, they are also thinking of ways to make people “comfortable” being poor. They need to, because poverty is the lifeblood of the Democrat Party. Without high levels of poverty, the Democrat Party would wither away. This is why they implement policies that guarantee poverty will be sustained at a high level, and then offering “free” poverty-related benefits to ensure the votes will keep rolling in.
DISQUS Doodlings: Socialism Disavows Individual Responsibility – The Old “Makers vs Takers” Connundrum
Note: No, not me this time but from “Vindaloo Bugaboo”, also a frequent commenter at Treehugger who would fit in well here at GraniteGrok. I liked what he wrote at one of TH those posts and asked if he’d “translate” it for GraniteGrok. And no, I had no input in that commenting series as he was doing so splendidly well!
As a child, one of my favorite bedtime stories my mum would read me was the 1974 Scholastic Books classic, “Little Red Hen” by Paul Galdone.
