A friend of mine recently urged me to watch Doctor Zhivago, the film based on Boris Pasternak’s book. He stated that it had been on the American Film Institute’s top 100 list and was inexplicably removed recently.

Nice to Finally See Democrats Condemning Violence
After years of silence as Democrat activists rioted in American cities killing dozens and physically, emotionally, and financially injuring thousands of innocent people; destroying billions of dollars of public and private property, and attacking the White House, Capitol, and Supreme Court Building; it’s nice to finally see Democrats condemn, rather than support, violence.
Belknap Actually Lowers Taxes- This is not a joke!
Our late 3-term governor, Meldrim Thomson, coined the slogans “Low taxes are the result of low spending.” On this past Tuesday night, the Belknap County Delegation, comprised of all 18 of its elected state representatives, took that to heart, so for the first time in a long time the Belknap County taxes for this year … Read more
Hey, NH Executive Council! We Are Here! We Are Here! We Are Here!
This is the call to the “governed” whose rights our NH State Constitution was written to protect. Those elected to represent us seem ignorant of the document they swore to protect and defend when accepting their role in the State government.
It Is Time for New Hampshire To Stop Adding Fluoride to Public Drinking Water
Municipal water fluoridation is a form of forced medicating by majority rule. If 51% of a community votes in favor of water fluoridation, the minority who don’t want fluoridated water have no choice but to purchase expensive filtration systems to remove fluoride, travel to collect spring water, or purchase unfluoridated bottled water.
“We need to continue to have critical dialogues”
PUBLIC RANCOR and divisiveness are palpable. Any public comment risks being twisted and turned like a pretzel into something it is not. But we need to continue to have critical dialogues as a society. As one famous politician stated, “The antidote to bad speech is more speech, not less.”
Biden’s Dialectic Unity
Every regime has two basic rhetorical responsibilities to its loyal subjects. It must define what it is for, and it must define what it is against. This sets the tone and marching order for the bureaucracy and the security establishment.
The NH GOP May Not Be to Trying to Disenfranchise Us, But the Results Say Differently
After sitting through the NH GOP Exec Council meeting last night (Mon, Jan 18, 2021), in hopes I would hear a possible solution to the Dec 10th caucus, I am discouraged and am rethinking my involvement with the Republican party in NH.
The Struggle is Real (pt.1)
There is a false premise being pushed by the media that it doesn’t matter if you’re Left or Right. We are all Americans, and we can all get along. As always, this is a Leftist talking point designed to stop the conversation before it starts.
“Inconvenient Truths” About Senator Shaheen’s Call for “Unity

RINOs and “Moderate” Republicans
About 4 years ago, I mused in print about the term “moderate Republican” and what it might mean. And those musings were recently brought to mind again by an email from someone in my district who seemed to claim to be a “moderate Republican” and seemed to criticize me for calling out some as Republicans In Name Only (RINOs).
Your State House 12/04/20
This week, I was sworn in for my seventh term in the State House. We met outside, to have enough room for social distancing, at UNH rather than in Concord. Over 100 members chose not to attend, believing that those measures were not enough to protect them. Three or four members had been reported to … Read more
Alan Glassman, You Pulled the “Trigger” on the Wrong Guy
Last Wednesday, I was asked if GraniteGrok would observe the voting within the Belknap County Republican Committee (BCRC). Because, according to the two separate folks who didn’t know the other had done so, they thought the voting would be “interesting.”
Frederick Douglass vs The 1619 Project
A free slave vs Black race-baiters: one from our history who believed in the Constitution as being for all people vs someone that would rewrite our history simply to advance a race-based fiction (to which she has now admitted to doing).
The Collusive Oligarchy
We are in the few weeks of our time where decades of history seem to be happening. We are witnessing an unprecedented merging of corporate and government power that is fundamentally unconstitutional.
Because House Democrats Are Oh So Virtuous…
House Democrats were intently focused on curbing free speech on the house floor by condemning certain speech as “Hate Speech” [emphasis mine: No such thing]. Let’s forget just for a moment that it would not be constitutional in any manner, form, or way and roll with their premise.
