Democrats and their union allies are racing to constitutionalize their power base with Vermont’s Prop 3. This amendment would lock the right to organize, join unions, and force collective bargaining into the state constitution while explicitly banning any future right-to-work laws. In plain terms: once it’s in, no legislature can ever make union membership optional or stop … Read more
The smell from his record, 12 years ago, still wafts into today. I didn’t forget, and neither did GraniteGrok. We all took potshots at this anti-Second Amendment dude – WHY vote for someone who was antithetical to our beliefs even though he had an R next to his name? Ayup, he really didn’t like that … Read more
Saturday was a great day for NH because it’s the day Annie Kuster became ineligible to be a judge. You might be thinking, “So what, she’s been a private citizen for almost 2 years, and everyone eventually turns 70, assuming that they live that long.” Annie was an adoption lawyer, and family court is in … Read more
I wish Mr. Granger lived in my town so I could replace him. He obviously has a GOD complex. But it may not be a mental defect. Maybe he is just ignorant. People should first: 1. READ ARTICLE V. 2. READ THE LANGUAGE IN THE PROPOSAL. They are both legal documents that must be followed … Read more
I re-register my LLC with the Secretary of State at the beginning of the year. January first. The first day of the year. I make sure the trade name is still in good standing, and the SoS typically emails me a confirmation, or I can check the website and see the words Grok Media LLC … Read more
The Wolfboro-Tuftonboro Democrat Machine TL;DR: “Peaceful,” to most, means the purposed avoidance of aggression. The Wolfeboro Area Peaceful Protests claimed that word, but they appear to be using an esoteric dictionary. They have claimed it every Saturday since winter. They list the hour as “non-partisan” (an interesting piece of language that aligns with federal laws for … Read more
Now It Gets Interesting – Lying During the Initial Meeting I had trepidations going into the video meeting to establish whether or not the boy required Special Education Services. Sure, they were told that evaluations had already been done, with what I categorized at the time as a “haughty nose in the air as if … Read more
The British Gun Grab that Led to the War for Independence Despite the fact that it proved to be mostly a false alarm, the “Powder Alarm” of Sept 1-2, 1774 showed the colonists that the British were serious – and willing to use gun control efforts to subjugate them. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? The event … Read more
I hope you’re not tired of the Lindsey Clancy memes and commentary yet, because despite the hung jury and mistrial, the defense argument still stands as the reason it went down that way. And a lot of people were paying attention. The feminists came out to defend her, arguing she can’t be held criminally accountable. … Read more
Ever since Beth Scaer showed me the enemy camp’s calendar of events page, I’ve been lurking from time to time and thought a certain canine event had already passed, but it’s next Thursday. The Merrimack Dems, who recently held a rock painting party, are hosting Dogs for Democracy in Watson Park, which is not far … Read more
So onward with Part 2. Still a wee bit of a lead-up to read through to let you all understand that a number of cases that DCYF MUST take on aren’t all that straightforward. Thus, I’m only concentrating on the Barnstead District and our two Littles and the Special Education services they both needed. Two … Read more
Rebecca Harned (never heard of her) is running as a Democrat for the New Hampshire State Senate. The Beccster is also, apparently, loaded and has multiple homes, which has complicated her residency claims to run for office in the Granite State. Harned’s campaign claims that she “returned home to New Hampshire” in 2017. She also … Read more
It appears New Hampshire will very likely lose millions of dollars in tax revenue and much-needed local property tax relief. Somewhat recently, Governor Kelly Ayotte announced her support for a moratorium on the construction of data centers in New Hampshire. “It does not make sense to site a data center in New Hampshire,” Ayotte said. … Read more
Bringing the Trades and Technology Together Dr. Chuck Lloyd, the new Chancellor of the Community College System of New Hampshire, on how community college can help address the cost of education crisis, how AI is not armageddon to our economy, and why the trades aren’t going anywhere. Learn more about the CCSNH and find the … Read more
Getting Back Into the Swing: It’s been a while since I last set fingers to type here but with our two Littles (the DCYF lingo – very young children, 2 & 4 for us, that are placed with Foster Parents) now having been reunited with their Mom (a VERY good thing as she worked her … Read more
Walking back to my car from the state house, a silly thought occurred to me as I walked toward the library. A Concord local in a chat group made a comment some time ago about two public figures being “besties” in high school. “Why not,” I thought. I was curious to see what these two … Read more
Remember the halcyon days of the TEA Party movement. It was so organic that the left lost its mind. They called it astroturf, even using the IRS to suppress it before the 2012 elections. And they tried to astroturf their own version. And threaded throughout, and ever since, there have been accusations that people who … Read more
I can’t tell you how much joy it brings me to see Stefany Shaheen struggling in her Democratic primary for NH CD1. Somehow she managed to take a name known statewide (Her mom was a State Senator, Governor, and US Senator) and make it mean less. Maura Sullivan, equally awful, but not a rhetorical member … Read more

Rebuttal to Michael Granger’s Article in response to Haley’s Shaw’s Article calling for an Article V Convention of States Application New Hampshire has a representative who takes pride in personally killing the Convention of States application, session after session. Read his own argument closely and what you find isn’t a constitutional case — it’s a … Read more
