Rochester 9/12 Meeting – Part 1

Last night I traveled southeast to video the monthly Rochester 9/12 meeting.  Haven’t been for a long while but since Jerry and Sue Delemus asked, I went!  The place was packed – and a boisterous crowd at times as well.  The main draw was the reporting by Jerry (and with some of his friends that … Read more

Rochester 9/12 – Part 2 CVA (Concerned Veterans of America)

Continuing on from the previous post, next up during the meeting was a presentation by Matt Spencer, a team leader with the NH Chapter of the Concerned Veterans of America. Turns out, a great place to be as it seemed that 1/3 to 1/2 of the audience (did I tell you that the place was packed??) were vets (and a good deal more associated with vets).  Discussions were about upcoming events, advocacy, the absolute tragedy of the VA denying medical care to vets simply to make their “numbers” look good, and the mental illnesses that vets are experiencing and how other vets can help:

Rochester 9/12 – Part 3: Cliven Bundy ranch (1 & 2)

The co-main event of the evening (main event by length of time) was a report by Jerry Delemus (along with his friends who were there  in Bunkerville, Nevada with him) from his time at the Cliven Bundy ranch.  A lot went on and some of it was different than what was reported in the media, … Read more

Rochester 9/12 – Part 5: Dr. William Baer and the Gilford School Board (Parts 1 & 2)

The last major update of the night was from Dr. William Baer (aka Billy Baer) and Josh Youssef on Dr. Baer’s arrest at the behest of the Gilford School Board as they tried to stonewall his efforts to get answers from them on why they permitted Teen Porn to be part of the curriculum that his freshman daughter was forced to read:

GrokTALK! 5/10/2014 – Dr. William Baer and the Gilford School Board

We had an extended segment with Dr. William Baer (aka, Billy Baer) that was arrested at this past Monday’s Gilford School Board simply because the Gilford School Board decided that they had to use their Power to stifle an angry parent’s ire about them allowing Teen Porn into his daughter’s Freshman class (taught by Gail Hutchinson).  This has gone viral nationally (and we have been writing about it here, here, here, here, here, here, and here for starters – and for a bonus, here’s an older post (same cast of characters) of the Gilford School Board antics – head over to GilfordGrok and do some searches as well.  While it has been dormant for a while, topmost post also shows uber-government bootlicker, Joe Wernig on display – he was the guy badmouthing Dr. Baer while saying “Hey, the school wants to make my daughters read Teen Porn – NO PROBLEM!  School over parents is his mantra, I guess).

Anyways, here is our first segment (of three) with Dr. Baer:

Prager University – Iran and “The Bomb”

Course Description Many countries have nuclear weapons, and many more want them. Only one, though, has its neighbors and the world terrified. That country is Iran. Why is everyone so concerned? Because the Islamic theocracy has repeatedly threatened to destroy Israel, sponsors global terrorism, and would leverage the deterrence effect of a nuclear weapon to … Read more

GrokSHOT! – “The first trick of NH Politics is…”

NH Politics: Jeff Chidester was the Master of Ceremonies at this past Friday’s Rockingham County Republican Washington / Lincoln / Reagan Dinner where US Senator Marco Rubio was the keynote speaker.  While folks were milling about during the dinner break, and Jeff was trying to get the event moving again, he made an astonishing (heh!) … Read more

GrokTV: Rockingham Repub Dinner – Intro Ceremonies

As I said here, the Rockingham County Republicans held their annual Washington / Lincoln / Reagan Dinner at the gorgeously restored Wentworth By the Sea (a project that Bill Binnie undertook when everyone said couldn’t be done given the absolute state of disrepair it had become).  The big draw for the night was US Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL); every much a notable in the US Senate and in the news often, it is rumored that he may insert himself into the 2016 Presidential fray.  I will have to admit, he gave a very power speech on the points of his background but that American Exceptionalism still stands tall – but given the Progressive assault on it, how much longer?

That said, a few items before he spoke:

  • Introductory Ceremonies: Invocation, the Pledge, National Anthem, “Seat of Honor” winner, Introduction of “Notables”
  • Opening speech by NH GOP Chair Jennifer Horn (introduction by Rockingham County Republican Chair Regina Birdsell)

GrokTALK! 5/10/2014 – The Pre-Show (Energy)

Every week, mostly, we turn on the cameras early (somewhat) to make sure that we are all set technically and, well, we’re talking about what we’re blogging anyways.  So we figure that you might just want to listen in!  Generally unscripted and completely free form, you might like what we are saying, so why not … Read more

GrokTV: Rockingham Repub Dinner – US Senator Marco Rubio (Part 1)

Finally, it was time for the Rockingham County Republican Committee Washington / Lincoln / Reagan Dinner’s keynote Speaker: US Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL).  One of the youngest of the US Senators, he is rumored to be pondering a move to  become part of the 2016 Presidential Primary and Campaign.  Thus, he is in great demand all over the country.  Here, he speaks of his upbringing, the risks that his parents made in fleeing from Cuba and coming to this country, and the basis of American Exceptionalism that allowed the child of a bartender and a maid to become a US Senator – but that type of Opportunity may be getting submerged by the overarching Progressive style of government.

Indirect polling by video views of NH Republican Primary Candidates

I am late on putting up the videos for the Belknap County Convention (Delegation) concerning its budget process (H/T: Rosemary!).  In the process of setting up and then uploading Part 3 (re: NH State Rep Dennis Fields has a meltdown at its end), I noticed the number views received by speakers and candidates on the video I took at the NH GOP Annual Meeting this past Saturday (posts linked after the jump) and I was surprised at who got the most views in each race.  So I figured that this “informal indirect polling” may be of interest to others, so here it is as of tonite (yes, I’ll wait a while and then put up any updated numbers).

Gilford, NH Parent Arrested At School Board Meeting (Video)

A Gilford, NH Parent was arrested at a school board meeting while objecting to the inclusion of sexually explicit material in the classroom.  Sorry, I mean for violating the “2 minute speaking rule.”   As I understand it, parents/taxpayers/residents are typically afforded more time to speak so this seems to have been a new policy, created … Read more

2014 NH GOP Annual Meeting – Candidates, Congress CD2: Marilinda Garcia, Gary Lambert

 

If there is a First Congressional District there has to be a Second District as well.  Continuing on with the candidate parade are the two folks running to unseat present US CongressCritter Annie Kuster:

  • Marilinda Garcia:  Brain Drain problem, Innovation economy, high tech, regulatory reform in healthcare, fight back from Federal intrusions into NH
  • Gary Lambert: All he knows is how to work hard, won’t take Congressional pension, Congressional subsidy for Obamacare, 6 years max in Congress, fight for opportunity, free market healthcare, and vets (as a retiring US Marine Col)
