Keene City Ward 3 Councilor Terry Clark recently sent an email to the Queen City decrying the Donald Trump Rally slated for August 15 at SNHU Arena. You can read that email here.
The Need To Divide
Like everyone else, I am horrified – though not surprised – by the increasing epidemic of mass shootings. The blood spilled, the pain endured, the death of loved ones. Of course we want this to stop!
Predictably, Democrats are once again posturing to grab guns as a solution. There are at least three major reasons why this is dangerous, stupid, wrong-headed, and completely ineffective.
Keene City Councilor concerned about mass shooting in Manchester, because of… Trump!!?
On Thursday, August 15, President Trump will return to Manchester for a rally at the SNHU (formerly Verizon) Center on Elm Street. If you haven’t heard by now–[Tickets Here] — and as expected, the leftist snowflakes are already starting to melt. The latest example, Terry M. Clark, City Councilor from Keene and Treasurer of Chesire … Read more
Granny D and the Evil “Dark Money” in Politics
The ‘Granny D’ walk to get money out of politics in, you guessed it, Peterborough, will happen this Sunday. According to the Monadnock Ledger-Transcript,

Mayor Joyce Craig – Some might call these kickbacks
This was sent in by a ‘Grok reader and I stared at it in horror. I can see a quick lunch being offered by the department…but a “banquet” and “prizes” worth thousands of dollars??? Reformatted, emphasis mine: My friend started a job working for the Manchester Cemetery maintenance department. Two weeks ago ,he was cutting the … Read more
ICYMI – Maine Said “No” to Giving Up Its Sovereignty
The National Popular vote would erase the votes, voices, and the relevance of state like New Hampshire. That hasn’t kept our Democrats from trying to do that. The same is true for other states, including our neighbors in Maine.
Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig: a lousy education legacy
Mayor Joyce Craig has done nothing to improve the quality of education in Manchester. As Chairman of the Board, she should have come in with a plan to improve the public schools in Manchester. Instead, she appears to be punting that authority to community organizers like Manchester Proud and the Nellie Mae Foundation. Both of … Read more
Grok MicroInterview: Victoria Sullivan, candidate for Mayor of Manchester
After Victoria had filed her candidacy paperwork at Manchester City Hall (“FIX THE CLOCK!“) and had addressed her supporters, I was able to get a bit of an interview with her. Go with me here – a bit of “non-interview” at first but I think it adds a bit as to her character.
Maine State Senate Decides To Give Its Voters No Voice in Presidential Elections
The Maine State Senate must not like their voters very much. They just chose to join the National Popular Vote, which would erase Maine by turning it into a meaningless (if not incredibly large) county of New York State.
NH and Maine Democrats Are Pushing the Exact Same Loony Left Agenda (And What it Means)
From my inbox: Anyone else find it funny that NH’s loony-left bills mirror Maine’s almost exactly? For the sake of perspective, does anyone else find it funny that Maine’s loony left bills mirror New Hampshire’s almost exactly?
Is Your Local School Board Breaking the Law?
Ann Marie Banfield, writing last week, pointed out that some school boards around the state pay membership dues to the New Hampshire School Board Association (NHSBA) which then lobbies the legislature. State law prohibits the School Board from using any taxpayer dollars (so no money from the school budget) to pay those “dues.” It is … Read more

Guest Post: The Debate on 3D Printed Guns
If you’ve been paying any attention to the news at all in recent weeks, you’ve no doubt heard about the controversial subject of 3D printed guns. 3D printed guns are indeed exactly what they sound like: a gun that can be downloaded and assembled using a 3D printer and the right materials.
Margaret Drye – Dedicated to Our Community
For almost four decades, I have been responding to Plainfield and Cornish homes and roads as an EMT with Cornish Rescue. As a result, I have seen the opioid epidemic up close, and I have also seen the many medical, physical, and financial challenges our senior citizens face.
There’s a reason why NH ranks much higher than Maine
Reformatted, emphasis mine:
“…The compilation data is stunning.
In many of the selected reports, Maine lagged far behind New Hampshire for competitiveness for new industry, tax burden, cost of doing business, workforce education, infrastructure, regulatory environment and labor supply. New Hampshire came in, nationally, as the 15th best state in terms of business climate and taxation — the best in New England, by a long shot. Maine’s average score designated our state the 34th best for business climate, trailing every other New England state except Connecticut.
But the rub becomes apparent when one studies the data.
Maine’s Embrace of Broad Based Taxes vs. New Hampshire NOT Doing That.
Our good friend Michael Graham, writing at NH Journal, has an article titled “Study: Maine Vs. N.H. Shows “More Government Means More Poverty.”
The annual Family Prosperity Index is out and, while New Hampshire didn’t make the Top 10 (it’s ranked #16), the study’s authors did use the Granite State to make their case for more economic liberty vs. reliance on government. They used the case study of New Hampshire and its neighbor, Maine (FPI ranking: #39).
The result of Maine’s dancing with the tax devil in the “blue” moon light? More government, a shrinking private sector, and one of the highest dependency cultures in the nation.
Maine Democrats Block Effort to Make FGM Illegal
The New Hampshire legislature passed legislation last week prohibiting Female Genital Mutilation of a minor in the Granite State. Governor Sununu is expected to sign it. Maine’s majority Democrat House decided not to support similar legislation.
This week, Maine House Democrats sent a clear message that female genital mutilation (FGM) performed on young girls should not be a crime in their state. So much for child abuse prevention.
Will FGM advocates in New Hampshire be taking day trips to The Pine Tree State? Not legally.
